But I'm more comfortable. I feel if he puts me in, I'll be ready to play. "Recognizing the formations would be the toughest part.

But if I play, I'd be out there with Stan (White), and he recognizes everything. I'd feel really comfortable with him out there." LION NOTES: Williams, who has played in passing situations, suffered a badly sprained right ankle and was on crutches Thursday. He did not practice and is not expected to play Sunday Cobb, who has missed the last two games, may be ready for at least part-time duty against the Vikings. ROSEY BARNES, from Page 1F nate. As long as I'm here, I want to make my mark on the game.

I realize I'm starting right at the bottom, but I want to leave my mark on the game somehow. "Some of the players tell me, 'Hey, slow down a little But I can't do that. 1 have so much ground to make up I want to be the best linebacker to come out of Detroit. So I can't slow down." Barnes' lack of game experience is his biggest problem. He concedes he has difficulty recognizing formations and assignments, but he will gladly give it his best shot if Clark would give him the chance.

"I feel like I'm ready to play," he said. "(Lineback 1 i. points. Besides Miller, the Cavaliers (7-0) were paced by guards Othell Wilson, with 18 points, and Ricky Stokes, with 12.

Joe Concheck, added 14 for the Buckeyes (3-2) who broke a string ol two straight losses. Youngstown State, which had been on a three-game winning streak, fell to 5-2 despite Art McCullough's 16 points. Ohio State held 7-foot-1 Ricky Tunstall, Youngstown State's leading scorer coming into the game, to four points. Tunstall fouled out with 11:44 left. Minnesota 71, Dayton 65: Randy Breuer, a 7-foot-3 "center, hit 22 points and pulled down eight rebounds to lead Minnesota to the victory at Dayton.

The Flyers (4-1) led by forward Roosevelt Chapman's 27 points and 14 rebounds, coasted to a 33-28 halftime lead. But Minnesota, led by Breuer and Marc Wilson (15 points), tied the game at 41 midway through the second half. Forward Jim Peterson's lay-up put Minnesota (5-1 ahead for good at 52-50.

Wells led I ako Superior (3-2) with 21 points. TOKYO (AP) Unheralded Jim Miller replaced ailing Ralph Sampson at center and scored 14 points, including five key baskets in the second half, as top-ranked Virginia beat No. 14 Houston, 72-63, Thursday in the Suntory Ball basketball tournament. The 7-foot-4 Sampson was pulled from the Cavaliers' starting lineup shortly before the game because of an intestinal virus.

Team physician Dr. Joseph May said Sampson's week-long battle with the flu left him too weak and dehydrated to play. He said Sampson would be given intravenous fluids and could be ready to play Sunday in the tournament's final matching Virginia against Utah. Houston plays Utah Friday. The teams battled evenly for the first five minutes.

Then, with the score tied, 1 1-1 1, the Cavaliers reeled off 10 straight points. Virginia led, 41-31, at halftime. With nine straight points in the first five minutes of the second half, Houston narrowed the gap to one, 41:40. Miller then made two tip-ins and a jump shot, and with 12 minutes left, Virginia led by 10 again, 53-43. The Cougars pulled within four, 59-55, with 5:30 remaining, but were repulsed by two Miller baskets late in the game.

Larry Micheleaux led Houston with 13 points. Despite Sampson's absence, Akeem Abdul Olajuwon, the Cougars' 7-0 Nigerian center, scored only eight Dr. tops all-star voting Moses Malone of Philadelphia leads the Thetopvotes: Centers Malone, Robert Parish, Boston, Tree Rollins, Atlanta, Bob Lanier, Milwaukee, Dave Corzine, Chicago, 16,374.

NEW YORK (UPI) Philadelphia forward Julius Erving, bidding for a sixth straight all-star starting berth, was the leading vote-getter Thursday in early fan returns for nominees to the Eastern Conference squad for the Feb. 13 game in Inglewood, Calif. Erving has collected 87,402 votes in balloting that continues through Jan. 15. The Pistons' Isiah Thomas leads the voting for guards.

Detroit's Kelly Tripucka trails Erving and-Boston's Larry Bird at the forward spot.

ON-TV wants more Tiger games X-Mas Sale Rowing Machines 7 Models 1 2 0U 4 Heart Monitors for Safe Exercise Cycles third by drawing a 4.0 rating and a seven per cent share on Channel 9. Those figures, by the way, don't include Windsor, a hockey hotbed and where Channel 9 is located. Slap shots: Local hockey fans were victims of tape-delay Thursday night when Channel 50 showed the Red Wings game from Philadelphia a half-hour late because station management didn't want to bump' the profitable "Three's Company" reruris from the 7:30 p.m.

time slot. "Obviously, some people take exception to it (the delay of the Wings telecast)," said WKBD-TV station manager George Williams, who argues that preempting the jiggly show reruns "disrupts our consistency and continuity of programming." Channel 50 does the same thing when weeknight Piston games begin at 7:30. Wings general manager Jimmy Devellano, new to the area, said only "right now, we're happy for some TV exposure, better little than none," a beggers-can't-be-choosers attitude that may not be necessary if his team continues its recent success. "We aren't even calling the shots," Devellano said of the 15-game agreement his team has with WKBD. "Sometimes, we are dictated to by TV." Budd Lynch, the Wings' ON-TV broadcaster and public relations man, said an unscrupulous fan could take advantage of the situation by listening to the live broadcast on radio, then walking into a bar with a half-hour left in the taped telecast and making a fast bet on the outcome Lynch is the guy who did pioneering Red Wings telecasts 30 years ago.

The Wings were televised live by two black and white cameras from the Olympia by SPORTS ON THE AIR, from Page 1F carrying 15 Red Wings home games, 15 Pistons home games, and four Michigan basketball games. A problem with this, however, is that ON can't take the air until 8 p.m. and many local sports events the Tigers and the Red Wings, for instance begin at 7:30 p.m. Because of this, ON must either show games on a tape-delay basis (as is the case with the Wings) or join them in progress and catch up with taped highlights (as is the case with the Tigers). WXON uses the half-hour in question to show reruns.

ON recently lost a court battle over the disputed 30 minutes, but still hopes to resolve it favorably. One way around this, Tuohey said, is to make an ON sports package available to local cable companies. A similar, over-the-air, sports-oriented scrambled signal uses this avenue in Chicago. "I'd have to say right now, with other movie stations available, our strongest aspect has to be sports services," Tuohey said. "We had a head start.

When the sports teams are good, we look good, and the Tiger following has always had great interest. "We are looking at the possibility of going more into the sports field." Fetzer was unavailable for comment. NOTES: Results of Nielsen TV ratings for last Saturday night's sports competitors showed the local winner was Piston basketball on Channel 50, with a 5.3, rating and a 10 percent share of the local sets in use; second place was the Georgetown-Virginia college basketball game, with a 5.1 rating and a 10 per cent share of the market. (Ratings released earlier this week slightly underestimated the audience for that.) Hockey Night in Canada, Detroit at Toronto, finished VISA flip WXYZ-TV, Channel 7, beginning at 9 p.m. halfway through the game.

"Those were the early days of selling your product," Lynch recalled. "I was doing the play-by-play and Sid (Abel) was the color man. He had just retired as a player." Now, after terms as Wings coach and general manager and other hockey jobs, Abel is again the Wings radio and free TV color man, behind the play-by-play descriptions of Bruce Martyn. As is the case with most home-town announcers, their broadcasts seem more energetic and more fun to listen to when the home team is winning. "You just tell the listeners the truth," said Martyn, a 19-year veteran.

"When they are losing all the time, 1 walk out wringing with sweat. It's a struggle to describe a game that takes place entirely at center ice." At home games, where the crowds have dwindled in recent months, Martyn and Abel sit right behind fans in the last row at center ice sometimes too close to the paying customers. "We've had cans of pop knocked over by autograph seekers," Martyn said. Another problem is the marijuana smoke that drifts through the open window of their booth. "Not as bad this year," Martyn said.

"Couple years ago, two or three times we had to blink. "Come to think of it," he added jokingly, "a couple of (games) we could've used it." Finally, speaking of Red Wings and local TV, they've made great strides in at least one area: Television monitors at the concession stands. Like the Silverdome, Joe Louis Arena provides, for many games, closed-circuit telecasts on the screens above the concession stands. Fans waiting at the concession stands during the game don't have to wonder what all the cheering is about. They can see it.

Tiger stadium is the only local pro arena not providing a similar courtesy. Perhaps, when they look to spend the extra ticket increase money they've saved in the free-agent market this winter, they can give their fans such a holiday gift. Merry Christmas, Mr. Fetzer. Weekend best bets Saturday: Two decent network telecasts from Los Angeles: Iowa at UCLA in college basketball on Channel 4 at 3:45 p.m., and the Los Angeles Rams return to be booed in their former Coliseum home when they visit the Los Angeles Raiders at 4 p.m.

on Channel 2. And, if you haven't seen it yet, the Hearns-Benitez fight tape appears on ABC's Wide World of Sports Saturday at 5 p.m. So will the Dokes-Weaver heavyweight tape, perhaps featuring the supporting act of the guys in the big hats battling the guys in the the long coats in the center of the ring after the main event. Sunday: The Pistons always seem to be playing the Boston Celtics these days; you can catch the two teams again from the Gah-den at 7:30 p.m. on Channel 50, which won't be tape-delaying in this case because "Three's Company," thank goodness, appears only on weekdays.

i Pistons seek instant forward ALL SAWS ON SALE well as to the Pistons and has moved a trade of Long out of the realm of the unthinkable. Long's play since he returned from a pulled groin muscle has been substandard, and coach Scotty Robertson has used him only about 22 minutes a game, while Johnson is playing 33. Besides Johnson and Long, Bill Laimbe'er, Isiah Thomas and Tripucka are probably the only Pistons who could be traded for a starter, and all three are considered untouchable. Tripucka has not been able to play since he injured his right knee in Kansas City, Nov. 24.

Benson, assailed by an assortment of knee, ankle and foot woes, has played in only three games since the Nov. 9 game against Washington, which visits the Pistons in the Silverdome tonight. PISTONS, from Page 1F man, who has played at Utah, Dallas, Cleveland and San Diego (twice), is averaging 11.7 points and eight rebounds a game. Several East Coast newspapers have speculated that the Pistons have been offering two rookies forward Cliff Levingston and guard Ricky Pierce as trade bait. Either Levingston or Levingston and Pierce together might be acceptable for Whitehead, but the Pistons would almost certainly have to come up with a future first-round draft choice or a starter probably Vinnie Johnson or John Long for Robinson.

And that is a matter McCloskey will not discuss. Johnson's outstanding play while Long was injured has increased his value in the trade market as Remind Santa. This year you deserve the best. Santa should also know that the Stihl 011AV with a 16" bar is on -sale now. It's the best gift you could give or receive.
