JAZZ LOSE

Dantle

After scoring a career-
high 60 points before the
largest home crowd of the
season in Salt Lake City,
Adrian Dantley should have
had reason to smile Tuesday
night,

But he didn’t — his team
lost, again,

Despite Dantley's scoring
touch, Utah Jazz dropped a
122-118 National Basketball
Association declsion to Los
Angeles Lakers.

The Jazz stayed with the
Lakers to the final minute
but could not come through
for the 11,673 spectatora who
turned out.

Tt was the 14th straight loss
for the Jazz, who have the
worst record in the NBA at
two wins and 19 losses, Los
Angeles improved its record
to 168 to create a logjam
atop the Pacific Division
where the Lakers, Portland
and Phoenix all have similar
records,

Jamaal Wilkes scored 29
points to lead the Lakers,
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had
28 and Norm Nixon added 24,
For Utah, Ben Poquette had
20 and Ron Boone 15.

Dantley scored 24 pointa
the first half and 26 the final
two quarters, coming
through with the highest
individual scoring of any

VAL D'ISERE, France
(Reuter) — The World Ski
Cup season opens here next
week, providing the first
glimpse of otential
medalists in February's
Lake Placid Winter Olym-
pics.

The world’s top alpine
skiers will be able to test in
competition the effect of six
yaonths of training...

Those skiing in the
downhill and giant slalom
eventa from Dec. 5-3 know
that Olympic teams will be
chosen from their World Cup
performances,

Countries are allowed to
bring only 14 skiers, plus
reserves, to compete in the
men’s and women's alalom,
giant slaiom and downhill
eventa,

Training has gone on
through summer and
autumn. The Americans
sought out snow in the high
mountain passes of the
Andes, while the Austrians,
French, Swiss, Italians and
Russians set up camp in the
rough glaciers of the Alps.

A survey of competitors in
the World Cup shows the
Shifting fortunes, often
determined by injuries,
which may decide Olympic
medallista.

The man to beat is im-
perious Swedish star
Ingemar Stenmark, The
explosive 23-year-old skler ig
master of slalom and giant
slalom, a skill that brought
him three World Cup
championships.

He lost the crown only
after rules were changed to
encourage skiers to enter all
three events, including the
downhill,

the downhill, fell while

summer in the -hope of
reguining the over-all World

decided to concentrate on the

The varying fortunes of
male skiers are reflected in
the’ Austrian, Swiss and
Jtalian teams which took
first, second and third places
reapectively in the Cup last
year. ;

The Austrians, who bet:
ween 1943 and 1976 never left
an Olymple or World Cup
event empty-handed, have
injury problema as well as a
shortage of experienced
newcomers. ‘

Franz Klammer, the back-
bone of the men’s team, has
been suffering knee ligament
stralns.

as his likely sucesaor since
1977, was injured in a
motorcycle accident in
September. He haa ra-
covered fully but he lost a

await the Olympics.

Five Swiss skiers —
Jacques Luthy, Toni
Burgler, Martial Donnet,
Werner Rhyner and Luscher
— are ranked in the top
flight. They expect to
emerge as the next power in
alpine skiing at Lake Placid.

For the Italians, the skiing
accident of team leader
Leonardo David has marred
thelr prospects. David has
been lying semi-conscious in
& hoepital since July.

The Italians have seasoned
veterans such as Herbert
Plank, Piero -Grosand
Gustavo Thoeni, but they
seem to lack a driving force.

Surprises this year may
come from teams outside the
traditional forces in alpine
skiing.

The top 10 skiers listed
after last year's World Cup
season included two
Americans, two Austrians,
two [tallana, and one each
from Sweden, Switzerland,
Yugoslavia and Liechten-

Behind these World Cup
leaders and prime can-
didates for Olympic gald are
other potential downhill,

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) —
The Juice may be gone fram

but new electricily is being

decision to let quarterback
Joe Ferguson call the plays.

“T think everyone feels a
little more a part of our
offence,’’ guard Reggie
McKenzie says. “We can
suggest things that will
work, aa in the case (Sun-
day) where a recelver

The win was the Bills’
third in a row — all alnce
Ferguson began to
mastermind the attack,

“IT think we all felt that
with the progress our fnot-
ball team was making at the
point of the Jeta game (flrat
in the series) that the next

step would be the leadership
role Joe could give us on the
field,” Kay Stephenson, who
coaches the quarterbacks,
seid Tuesday,

“We knew he was more
than capable. The story was
that he had never called the
plays even in high school, but
you have to be around the
guy and know his
preparation and work habits
to appreciate him."’

The so-called “greening of
the Bills’ — now 7-6 and
playelfminded — has hinged
on the greening of Ferguson.

Alfredo Griffin worked hard
at his profession all last
baseball season. Now he’s
reaping the awards,

On Monday, the 21-year-
old Toronto Blue -Jays
shortstop was named co-
winner of the American
League's rookie-ofthe-year
award with Minnesota
Twins’ John Castino,

And next season Griffin
will find that he’s no longer
working for a rookie's
wages. Jaya’ president Peter
Bayasi promised that the
team’s first major award
winner will get a raige,

. “Thad a feeling this would
happen,’ Bavasl said,
“There was a marked im--
provement in his play during
the season, Anyone with the
‘mildest interest in the team
could notice it. It’s just a
testimony to the player,”

Griffin earned between
$25,000 and $30,000 Inst
season, but Bavasi wouldn't
be pinned down to what idnd
of a ralse he would get.

Griffin and Castino
