"They've got fine scoring balance," Rhoads tells you. "You just can't key on anyone or give them an inch." Tim Marshall Is Pontiac's key performer and has been for three seasons. Marshall has helped Grubb build up part of his amazing record of 119 victories against 17 defeats. In the last four years, Pontiac has been to the finals twice and into the semis the other two years. No other A team can boast such a tournament record.

Walter Grandberry, Ray Rhone, James Donley and Jeff Smith round out the starting Pontiac lineup. Both teams could use some help from the bench. CASS TECH and Pershing, two Public School League rivals, fight for survival at Ferndale. Neither team made the PSL playoffs but are doing very well, thank you, in this the "second season." where they were a year ago. Pontiac Central won that skirmish, 78-70, and wasn't beaten until the semifinal round when Southwestern lowered the boom on the Chiefs.

Berkley went into that game with 22-game winning streak. "It wasn't close as the score would indicate," admitted Berkley coach Steve Rhoads. "They built up a pretty sizable lead on us after Btuce Flowers drew his third personal in the first four minutes and our other rebounder, Tom Karchon, sprained his ankle." But Rhoads and Berkley are eager for another chance. "Remember Bruce is a much improved player, Paul Potter and Jim Stewart are giving us some steady games and Al Davis, our sophomore, is just starting to find himself," Rhoads points out. But Pontiac, 17-5 on the season, is a team with quickness BY HAL.

SCHRAM Fret Press Sports Writer There will he 27 games Tuesdasy night when the regional phase of the 49th slate high school basketball championships opens throughout Michigan and the biggest of all is the Pontiac Central-Berkley confronlation at Birmingham Sea holm. This game is going to draw a standing-room-only crowd, crowd. "Berkley alone could fill the place," says Pontiac coach Ralph Grubb. "I'm going to open the doors at p.m., and when the place is jammed that's it," said tournament director Carl Lemle. "Everything will be on a first-come, first-serve basis." THE TWO north Woodward rivals are right back to SKIPS THE STEAKS jfftj, ii, Campy Powered by Vegetable Diet High School Basketball the season he has been "just tremendous," ccording Orr, in leading U-M to its 20-4 Tuesday's Regional Pairings Detroit Area loss that coach Al McGuire reportedly told him to get back on steaks or sit on the bench.

Since Russell began his dieting last spring after the season, he had time to get settled into it and get his strength up before basketball began again last fall and coach John Orr doesn't mind at all. As a matter of fact, Orr is highly pleased with Russell's dedication to keeping himself healthy, which sets a good example for the rest of the team. THE ONLY thing that bothers Orr is that one of the All-America teams didn't list Russell any higher than its third team. Russell averaged better than 23 points and 10 rebounds and in the last few weeks of consideration this season. "It helped my weight mostly," said the former Pontiac Central star.

"I weighed 225 last season and that's way too much. I weighed myself today and I weigh a little over 200. 1 feel really good, strong. "It has helped my quickness and I run much better than last year. I have more stamina and I think it's because of the diet." THE NON-MEAT diet is not exactly unheard of among college players.

A number of players have tried it, including a couple Russell's U-M teammates, but few have stuck to it. Marquette star Maurice Lucas, for instance, gave it a reguiar-senson "jcjra. "I can't believe Campy is not as good as anybody else in the country," said Orr. "It really doesn't matter me," said Campy. "People haven't really seen me play much.

All the players who were ahead of me on that team John Shumate, Bill Walton and those guys have been getting for a long time." Besides, he still has next year and he's still got the pros waiting for their turn to get him just as lotig as the waitresses keep forgetting to bring him those pre-game steaks.

Come to think of it, she didn't have the bacon and sausage piled high on his plate at breakfast either. And, you can rest assured that when the post-game pep-p i pizzas are ordered there are no big slices handed Campy's way. THAT'S THE WAY it's been for nearly 10 months now.

No 12-ounce steaks, no big juicy hamburgers, no mouth-watering ribs. No beef. No pork. Baked fish for Mr. Russell, please.

Oranges, orange juice, more fruit and a lot of vegetables. Once in a while some cheese. Once in a great while baked chicken. Campy, the junior AIl-Amer-ican who led U-M to a Big 10 co-championship and into Monday night's playoff game with Indiana for an NCAA berth, has abandoned meat almost entirely for the sake of his body and his basketball career. "My brother Frank got me started on it," explained Russell.

"He had read in different health books about all the things that were bad about meat the diseases and the high blood pressure. "So I just started trying it last May. The first week or two I lost 25 or 30 pounds," he added. About that time he encountered his first temptation to go back to his old diet. "I thought about it," he said with a grin.

"Eating ham and steak but I decided to stick with it." He's never been sorry since he fought off those first pangs of hunger.

"As a result 1 have advised him that I am disapproving the announcement and that, barring disability, I will ex-peel the Braves to use Henry Aaron in the opening series in Cincinnati in accordance with the pattern of his use in 1973 when he started approximately two of every three Braves' games." "Although he has advanced some substantial arguments in support of his announcement he has not been able to persuade me that the procedure he wishes to follow is good for baseball. Aaron has 713 career homers and needs only one more to equal Ruth's lifetime mark. AARON, WHEN questioned during the day prior to Kuhn's statement, intimated he expected some sort of ruling from the commissioner. "If the commissioner orders me to play," said Aaron, "I guess I'll have to play. Even if it means I got a hurt leg or I'm not in shape I guess I'll be in there.

The way things have been going I'm not surprised at anything he (Kuhn) does." When Barlholomay made known his intent ion not to have Aaron in the Cincinnati series, Aaron issued a statement saying he agreed with the Braves' chairman. home Kaline in the firsl inning, then scored himself on Willie Morton's ground ball, for the only two runs the Tigers were to get until their rally in the edghth. Fid Farmer, a disaster his first time out, got a second chance Monday. And while the ambitious young Tiger righthander didn't exactly dazzle the Cardinals, he did get them out for 'hree innings, with a little help from his friends. "My ball is still not alive not boom, boom, like it should be," he admitted after holding the Cards to a couple singles.

"My tail is still dragging from all the sprints I ran the first couple weeks. "I thought I was building myself up. Instead I was tearing myself down. Twenty-seven, 28 sprints a day!" I must have been stupid. Farmer was the.

first of the pitchers in contention to win a spot on the staff to get a second turn. And while there were no rave notice's after Monday's effort, it at least earned him another chance.

Continued from First Sports thai in the first inning, though, as Kaline drilled the first "live" pilch he had seen since September to for a single olf Bob Gibson, no less.

"I'D RATHER break in against a guy like Gibson," confessed Kaline later. "You know he's just out there trying to get himself in shape. That wasn't the real Bob Gibson you saw today. "Your first time at bat you always hate to get some young kid who's trying like hell to impress everybody and make the club. You never know where that ball is going to be." Kaline sent Luis Melendez to the fence in the third inning, and in the sixth he legged out an infield single.

"I'm going to like going to the park every day, knowing I'm going to bat," he predicted, still unable to erase that grin. "When you get to be my age, it gets harder and harder to prepare yourself mentally. You've got so many other things on your mird. But when you know you're going to be in that lineup, it makes it easier."
