East Carolina downed New Hampshire 76-65 By NORM MORTON The Fairmont Golden Tornadoes showed very little effect of their recent lay-off as they raced by the Rowland Cobras, 75-57 Tuesday night. I-ed by their scoring machine, Michael Baker with 26 points, the Tornadoes used a strong second half performance to put the game out of reach. The Cobras were 'snake bit' in the opening quarter, getting many opportunities to score, but just could not find the range. Fairmont, meanwhile, was not missing their opportunities, and moved out to a 16-5 first quarter lead.

Kenny Reaves of the Cobras worked out the kinks in the second quarter and led his team back into the game on the strength of his eight points in the second quarter. Reaves matched the output of Fairmont's Michael Baker, who also scored eight points in the second quarter, but Reaves got better support from his teammates as the Cobras outscored Fairmont 19-15 in the second quarter to set up a halftone score of 31-24. The Cobras continued their comeback into the early going of the third quarter as they scored the first six points. The effort ended there as the Tornadoes began a relentless sweep of the boards that the small Cobras could not dent. After those first six points the Cobras managed only two more points in the quarter as they were outscored 18-8 to set up a 49-32 Fairmont advantage.

The substitutes took over in the final quarter, after the Tornadoes had added to their advantage on the basis of Dwayne McCormick's eight points effort in the early going. Michael Baker led all scorers with 26 points, and was assisted by Dwayne McCormicks 14 and brother Fay Baker's 12 points. Rowland was led by Kenny Reaves, and he was the only Cobra to get into double figures. In the first game of the evening the Cobraettes smashed the visitors from Fairmont by a 53-29 margin. Using double figure scoring in each quarter the Rowland girls picked up an easy win.

High scoring honors went to Lillie Thompson of Rowland with eighteen points and Angela Fields added 12 points to the winning cause. Fairmont's girls were led by Metrial Floyd with 18 points, and Floyd was the only Tornado in double figures. The junior varsity contest was a thriller at the end, but in the early going looked like it would be all Fairmont, until a Rowland rally pulled out the win, 43-42. Larry Baker of Rowland scored the final two points of the game to give the Cobras a come from behind win. Larry Baker led the Rowland team with 16 points as Reginald Gerald of Fairmont matched his total also with '16 points.

Kenny Brown of Fairmont was the only other player to get into double figures with 13 points.

Theory Floats Around Vikes By BRUCE LOWITT AP Sports Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) -There's this theory floating around the Super Bowl scene -that Fran Tarkenton of Minnesota is going to run Oakland's line ragged, then pass the pants off the Raiders. "Well, I don't know about that," says Otis Sistrunk, one of Oakland's three defensive linemen whose job, in part, will be to catch the Vikings' scrambling quarterback. "I think we may have a few surprises in store for him." Tarkenton, too, has reservations about the widely held view that his ability to move laterally, combined with the three-man Oakland line rather than the usual four, will make the Raiders especially vulnerable. "It doesn't matter whether you're going against a threefour (Oakland's three linemen and four linebackers) or a con- ventional four-three or a five- two or a two-five or whatever," says Tarkenton, a veteran of 16 years in the National Football League, a quarterback who has probably seen every kind of defense imaginable.

"What matters isn't the formation, it's the guys who are in it, their ability, their desire. There is no mystery to defense, The reason the Raiders' three-man line (installed by Coach John Madden because of a wave of injuries in the preseason) won't make a major difference, Tarkenton points out, is the presence of a fourth linebacker, who will more than likely be blitzing in at him most of the day. And that fourth linebacker, says the fearsome-looking Sistrunk, could create problems for Tarkenton. "He won't know how often that linebacker will be coming and more important, he won't know which one'll be coming," Sistrunk says..
