...tough night for Laurie Downey, who faced a stiff challange in her specialty--the breaststroke--from Wildcat Debbie Panzik. A judge's decision gave Downey the opening round in the 100-yd. backstroke but Panzik took the return matchup in the 200-yd. backstroke. But Downey also added firsts in the two relays...
Still, there could be pyrotechnics on offense as both coaches search for the quick-strike, unpredictable play. Red Miller has been known to gamble on fourth down; a faked field goal against Oakland during a regular-season matchup resulted in the touchdown. That fact is less amazing than the target of the completed pass from Holder-Backup Quarterback Norris Weese: venerable Kicker Jim Turner, 36, who is enough of a football fossil to wear high-top black shoes. It was the first pass reception of his 14-year pro career. Landry has inserted special big plays into his offense...

Warnke's ideology was certainly a problem when he was passed over for the No. 1 posts at State, Defense and the CIA. Last week President Carter finally made the matchup. He nominated Warnke (pronounced Warn-key) to be both director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency and chief negotiator at the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks with the Soviet Union...
