13, 11-C All eyes on weatherman, 1 1-C By RAY HOLLIMAN St. Patarsburg Tmas StaliMAfriter TALLAHASSEE They call it war on the boards. Only this wasn't war. This was mayhem. The final score read Florida State 88, South Florida 62 but points were just an afterthought.

What really counted were rebounds. Like 50 for FSU. Like 28 for USF. Like, wipeout. "They beat us to death," said somber South Florida Coach Chip Conner.

"All I see is Florida State whipping us all over the place. We got beat by a superior team. We got beat GOOD." David Thompson's glad. "THE LAST two games (previous FSU victories over the Brahmans this season), they were talking about how they were going to beat us up here," said the Seminoles' 6-foot-8 sophomore forward. "Well, they didn't." No, they didn't.

Not with Thompson scoring 23 points and pilfering 20 rebounds. You've gotta return to the days of Dave Cowens to match that rebound total. And you've gotta return to 1971-72 NCAA finals time to find a Seminole team which has won nine out of 10. Fittingly, it was a pair of tip-ins, both by Larry Warren, which ignited the 14-5 Seminoles out of their pre-halftime doldrums. WITH ONE MINUTE until halftime, FSU led by 14.

After that minute the margin was seven 43-36. "We should have had a 13-point lead," said FSU Coach Hugh Durham. "I gotta admit, I got a little upset at halftime." The 6-4 Warren obviously absorbed his coach's words. After USF's Eddie Davis has brought his team within five (43-38), Warren recorded three straight baskets, Thompson tagged on a breakaway lay up and the Seminoles had that 13-point lead Durham desired. Psst the game is now over! Oh, Davis got a hot hand 15 second-half points enroute to 21.

The Seminoles suffered through momentary lapses of concentration. USF managed to close within 62-58 before Thompson popped the bubble with five straight points, including a tip. But there was no doubt about the eventual winner. "We didn't play well at all at any phase of the game," admitted Conner, who saw his 16-6 club lose for the third straight year in Tully Gym. "They went to the offensive boards as strong as any team I've seen.

And their defense did a great job." A GOOD ENOUGH job to hold USF to its season-low point total. Good enough to please Durham, who's rarely satisfied by the Seminoles' defensive play. "I prefer to talk about our defense," said Durham afterwards. "About those 26 points we held them to in the second half." Let's talk about the first half for a moment. Conner would rather not.

He and his Brahmans were tagged with three technical fouls, the back-to-back last two handing FSU a five-point play. His scoring stars, Davis and Doug Aplin, managed just 12 points between them (and Aplin, averaging 17.3, totalled just eight for the game). His 6-8, 6-8, 6-5 front line was humiliated 28-17 on the boards by Thompson Co. Once FSU got five shots in a flurry. The Seminoles got four on three other occasions.

They ran rampant. THEY COMPLETED their three-game sweep of South Florida. They maintained their post-season tournament hopes. They looked darn good. "When you're talking about the best basketball team in Florida," said FSU freshman Herbie Allen, a native Tampan, "you're talking about us." No doubt about it, Herbie.

MOO. Thus, races will begin at 9 a.m. and run until 10:30 when morning worship services begin. From 10:30 until noon, racing action will halt and Hal Elgin's ski show will be held. Racing will resume when church services end.

Even with the extra 90 minutes, there will be a battle to get all 11 classes, plus four invitational races, in before nightfall. HOWEVER, PIT manager Fred Fleming said classes probably could be run in their entirety barring accidents that could close the course for time-consuming cleanup activities. Fleming said the 9 a.m. starting time probably would allow all elimination heats and final heats to be run in both classes. However, there is a possibility the overall winners will be decided on fastest times in the elimination heats.

Most drivers and crews agreed to leave their boats in the pit area Saturday night under guard, eliminating the time-consuming hassle of getting the boats re-situated in the pits this morning. RACE OFFICIALS WOULD not speculate on what might happen if weather forces another cancellation today. The race probably would be extended until Monday, but it is questionable how many of the participants could stay an extra day. "That's no our problem right now," said race chairman Fred Bryson. "We'll decide when the time comes what we'll do if we can't race Sunday.

Right now, we're just taking things as they come." About 1,000 spectators, ultimately issued "wind-checks" for readmission today, milled around Lake Maggiore most of the day Saturday hoping the winds would It took permission from a Baptist church and a resulting waiver of a city ordinance, but the Southland Regatta will get its wind-battered schedule under way at 9 o'clock this morning. If, that is, the gusting winds that forced postponement of Saturday's opening-day program diminish sufficiently. Not an engine was cranked Saturday as day-long winds gusted as high as 35 miles per hour. Most of the hydroplanes can run in winds no higher than 15 mph. Today's forecast calls for cold with diniinshing winds, meaning there is a good possibility the races can be run.

However, there was a question of an overcrowded schedule as the sponsoring St. Petersburg Northeast Exchange Club attempted to fit two days of racing into a five-hour period in the afternoon. THAT'S WHERE THE Rev. Don Sietman of Lake Maggiore Baptist Church, located across the street from the race course, came to the rescue. Sietman and his church is protected by a city ordinance that prohibits boat racing to be conducted on Lake Maggiore until Sunday morning services are dismissed, about noon.

Members of the Exchange Club met with Sietman at his home Saturday afternoon, after it became apparent no races could be run, and struck up a compromise. With Sietman's permission, City Manager Ray Harbaugh then agreed to waive the St. Pataraburg Tlmaa JACKIE GREENE Lynn Kimbrough, Pete Hunt try to stay warm. SPORTS EDITOR Pi HUBERT Bay Bucs better have a sense of humor ava miZElt Suppose John McKay becomes disgusted with his of humor. With that fellow in their team insignia, they'd better.

All along, I expected the Buc symbol to be a hairy-chested, snaggle-toothed pirate. One of Blackbeard's kin. Obviously, my ideas were not shared. What we got was a slicked-up, smooth-faced chap in cavalier clothes. Not the toughest-looking chap on the block either.

He has a knife in his teeth, but he keeps winking at me. Nobody's come up with a monicker for this symbolic figure. How about "Bucco Bruce" for a name? So, here go the Buc Jokes (REMINDER: Parents with children under 16 should be warned that the following could warp their minds, causing severe after-effects. "PG" is recommended). Here goes What will the quarterback of Tampa Bay be called? "Bucpasser." See, you love it already.

You do, don't you? Stick with me. It gets worse. Much of this sickness was born in the minds of two sports writer dropouts. Buddy Martin and Pet Gallagher, who are now closeted elsewhere in this newspaper. What tign it certain to be erected on a tavern not far from Tampa Stadium? "The Bucs Stop Here." What would you consider a terribly expensive price for corn? "Buccaneer." If Johnny Rodgers and Bert Jones are traded to Tampa Bay, what will it mean? "Buc Rodgera and Buc Jones are here." Suppose a Tampa Bay linebacker and a Denver cor-nerback whip up a nightclub act in the off-season.

What will it be called? "Buc-and-Bronco." McKay needs a substitute and turns to find just one able-bodied soul remaining on his Tampa Bay bench, you might say McKay is down to his last Buc." TIME OUT: If you've already groaned four times by now, Buc Jokes are a hit. After stopping for an Alka-Seltzer, proceed onward if your courage remains. Like all pro football clubs, Tampa Bay will have a team dentist. If he is forced into making extractions on a player, the doc will be pulling "Buc Teeth." O'Sullivan tells me Italian jokes. Czekaj bears Jewish stories.

Goldberg kids the Poles. Then, there are Pappas' tales, and Palladino's, too. Keep it clean, guys. Jokes become fads, just as can hula hoops, Alice Cooper and goldfish-swallowing. I always wondered who started fads, who invented the jokes we whisper.

SO HERE'S a new one. The birth of a fad. In honor of the franchise bestowed upon the Tampa Bay area, this is the debut the very first public appearance of "Buc Jokes." Fanfare rings in mine ears. But think about it. Almost every old line referring to a "buck," that common synonym for a dollar bill, can be reborn as a Buc joke.

It also helps to know the ingredients of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Bucs) that Jacksonville tycoon Hugh Culverhouse coughed up $16-million for this expansion team that the head coach with be ex-Southern Cal man John McKay that only five players, all unchased free agents, make up today's roster of this expensive franchise. I'm sure the Bay Bucs' official family has a nifty sense entire defensive unit. He snatches up the telephone, calls another NFL head coach and says "I need change for 1 1 Bucs." certain to be in Tampa Bay's offensive play-book is a tricky misdirection play where a wide receiver suddenly becomes a running back It will, of course, be a "Buc Naked Reverse." Homer Huge, the rookie tackle from Utah is forced to lose from 312 pounds to a mere 265, he could be called "The Shrinking Buc." Sammy Slick, the Tampa Bay safetyman from Upper Montana is caught fooling around in the wrong guy's house, he could become a "Buc Shot." Nobody knows who'll be the team's main radio-TV announcer, but it stands to reason they should steal that guy from NBC. You know the guy "Jack Buck." Sea MIZELL, 13-C.
