FSU 171ns First Homo Game After Tailing 4 Straights on Road SAT rnrnfrtviy, g carpi m H" J LANDOVER, MD. -On Dec. 13, Elvin Hayes told a large group of fathers and sons at a breakfast how his club, the Washington Bullets, would sooner or later rise to first place even though they had looked bad in their previous two outings at Boston and New York. "When it's storming, you've got to know that on top of that rain are clear blue skies, and you just have to ride it out,' the 6-9 All-Star forward explained. How right he was, ' the "Bullets : won" their fourth straight game on Jan. 3, against Philadelphia, making it seven victories in their last nine outings. Coincidentally, the Bullets, who have won five straight Central Division titles in the National Basketball Association, are back in first place. The hQjro? If you ask Elvin, he "says it's a team effort. If you look at the box scores, you'd say Elvin. Against the 76ers, Elvin clicked on 16 of 25 field goal attempts, had 10 boards, made three steals and blocked two shots. His 37-point outburst was his season high. Elvin, however, was quick to point out that his defenders that night were four young players still learning the game - Harvey Catchings, Jerry Baskerville, Joy Bryant, and Darryl Dawkins. ' During this stretch when we've been winning," Elvin added, ' it's really been a team effort. We had injuries that healed and now we're playing with confidence and intensity. "Guys like Nick Weather spoon, Len Robinson and Jimmy Jones have given us a great lift . off the bench. They build up on what our regulars do. They really come together as a unit.' The bullets lost guard Phil Chenier in the victory over the Sixers, the victim of a turned right ankle. He is expect to be out a week. In a league even more balanced than last season, the Bullets won't win 60 games again. And the competition from the improved Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers and New Orleans Jazz - plus the already strong Houston Rockets - seems to insure lots of excitement through April in the Central Division. Elvin Hayes figures to be one of the central figures of the Bullets all season. And a few days ago he received a rare honor, having been selected one of the winners of the Washingtonian of "the Year Award from Washingtonian Magazine for his work in the community. Previous winners include Abe Pollin, president of the Bullets, and former Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas. Sin Scholastic Stars Sign NSC Grid Pacts NORFOLK - Norfolk State College football Coach William 4 Dick" Price got off to a roaring start in his bid to strengthen his 1976 football squad when he announced the recent signing of : six Virginia Scholastic standouts. . Heading the list of recruits are three Norcom High of Portsmouth stars - La Rue Harrington, running back, 6-1, 205; Mike . Ellis, end-defensive back, 6-3, 190; and George Mack, running back, 5-11, 190.

The reason: his Bronco basketball team just recently won its first "home contest' by soundly thrashing visiting Livingstone College, 105-80. The win improved the FSU CIAA mark to 2-3 and 5-5 overall and they have defeated the Bears of Livingstone twice this season. Strangely, the Broncos had lost all its games in Fayetteville by very close margins: 65-69 to Pembroke State, 69-68 to Methodist College, (all in Fayetteville Area Tourney k t GOING HIGH FOR TWO Big 6-7 forward Stew Cobruwn leaps kui. ii an.in lor Favattavilla Stat University (N.

NBA PLAYER TRANSACTIONS Detroit placed Wali Jones on the injured list and placed John Mengelt on the active list. SIMMONS ON SICK LIST Darrell Simmons, who covers the Atlanta Hawks for the Atlanta Journal, underwent surgery on both knees last week. Simmons fell on ice outside a Cleveland hotel.

The only game which was decisively lost was the opener on the road to Virginia State, 1 16-90. In fact, during the New Year Freedom Classic in New York, the Broncos captured the Championship Trophy by defeating Lehman College, 86-68, in the opening round and Virginia Union University, 116-115, for title. "i was beginning to think that we had to go on the road to win a game," Robinson said smilingly. The big leaders for the Broncos this year are 5-10 W3 " "i ' -Oi. junior ( guard ' John Barrows, 6-1 guard Billy Moore, Arnold Chambers, forward, and Herbert Mclvery, center.

European authorities are seeking to ban the bout Scott May and Gary Brewster Set Pace In Early Voting In Pizza Hut Classic Hicks Ties 19th Knot In Delaware State Hornets Unbeaten String Delaware State College heavyweight wrestler Stanley Hicks, who was trailing last year's District 1 8 NAIA runner-up champion Ken Harris, turned a reversal into a pin at- 1:58 in the second period to give DelState a come-from-behind 27-21 victory over the Johnstown branch of the University of Pittsburgh January 8. The non-conference victory pushed rookie coach Jackie Robinson's record to 5-1 on the year, while Johnstown dropped to a 2-2 mark. The match notched the second time that first year Coach Robinson defended the DelState unbeaten, dual-match record at home. Former DelState wrestling Coach Horace Small, who began the Hornet varsity wrestling program in 1972, ran the streak to 17-0-1 in his three years as head coach. Small left DSC over the summer to take a head football coaching job at Shaw University. And Robinson inherited his winning tradition. Morgan State University, which tied the Hornets 21-21 in 1973, has been the closest threat to the Hornet unbeaten string to date. The record stands at 19-0-1. Mildord's Stanley Hicks, who began his DelState athletic recognition last fall as a lineman on Coach Ed Wyche's football team, began filling in for All-Conference Hornet heavy weight Wayne Brzoska two matches ago, when Brzoska suffered a bruised rib. Hicks is now 3-0 on the year. The Hornets built an early 2-0 lead when Wayman Williams, 118, and Daniel Boone, 126, forfeited the first two matches. Pitt made it 1 2.3, when Kevin Barretts decisioned Kirby Jones, 14-4, in the 134-pound match. The Hornet lead was cut in, half when Pitt's Mike Holboy decisioned Chuck Lewis 11-6 in the 142-pound event. DelState, however, opened its lead to 1 8-6, as 150-pount Joe Vlach won his weight class on a forfeit. But Pitt came right back with a pin by Greg Larson over Keith Sample HER OLDER BROTHER DAVE WAS AN ALL AMERICAN FOR THE SAME SCHOOL. in the 158-pound event to cut the margin, 18-12 in favor of the Hornets. Smyrna Freshman Vincent, "Sly" Bessix was out-pointed 6-5 in the 165-pound division by Pitt's Henry Kliner, and Pitt closed within three: 18-15. Pitt freshman Roy Joseph pinned DelState's Henry Justice at 1:13 in the third period, as Pitt took over the lead for the first time in the match behind a 21-18 score. But two-time All-Conference 190-pound Greg Wright broughts his personal season record to 6-0 and the Hornets back into a 21-21 tie with an 8-2 decision over Pitt's Rich Bishop. Then, the Hornets used the dramatic upset by Stanley Hicks to preserve their unbeaten home string in the final event of the match.
