Eric Anderson had five points in the run as the Hoosiers led 24-12 with 9:40 remaining in the first half. "We were focused throughout the first half," Anderson said.

"We've been striving to not have a letdown." Indiana built a 51-24 lead with a 22-5 burst over the final six minutes before halftime. "We knew they were going to have spurts," Darner said. "We had to make sure they didn't have big, big spurts like they did." Things worsened for the Boilermakers when Indiana's Alan Henderson scored 11 seconds into the second half and Purdue immediately called a timeout. Darner hit two 3-pointers and Austin added four points in the next two minutes as Purdue pulled to By BETH HARRIS AP Sports Writer BLOOMINGTON, Ind. A 91-year-old rivalry is turning into a rout.

The 159th meeting between No. 4 Indiana and Purdue Tuesday iflght was a tight game for the first seven minutes. That's before the Hoosiers snapped a 10-10 tie with an 11-0 run and raced to a 106-65 victory. Indiana (15-2, 6-0) scored a season-high in its 13th straight victory and largest ever against Purdue. "It was one of those games that happens once in- a while, where everything goes your way," Indiana coach Bob Knight said.

Only a 3-pointer by Woody Austin with three seconds remaining kept Purdue from matching its worst loss ever, 44 points to Illinois in 1948. "All the talking was done on the court, so there isn't much for me to say," said Purdue coach Gene Hoosiers scored and Indiana shot 63.2 percent (36-of-57). Damon Bailey scored 15 points and Greg Graham 13 as the Hoosiers quickly blew apart Purdue's game plan of mixing outside shooting and post play. Austin, the Big Ten's second- leading scorer with a 22.4 average, was held to 15 points. He had seven 3-pointers last week against Northwestern, but was held to two against Indiana.

"I got frustrated in the second half and I just tried to relax and show good sportsmanship," said Austin, who spent much of the half on the bench. Darner scored 17 of his 19 points in the second half to lead Purdue. "They were scoring at will on us," he said. "Everything we worked on in practice, we didn't do any of it." The Boilermakers never challenged after the game's third tie on Keady, whose frustration resulted in a -technical 44 seconds before half-time. Coming off a weeklong rest since beating Michigan, Indiana forced 25 turnovers and held Purdue to 20-for-50 shooting.

"We couldn't hit our shots and we couldn't stop them on the defensive end," center Craig Riley said. "They were making some spectacular plays." Keady juggled his starting lineup by replacing struggling Line Darner with freshman Cuonzo Martin and giving Riley his first start since Jan. 2. The moves backfired as Martin scored just six points and Riley fouled out with three points and 1:32 left in the game. "At halftime we said our inside guys are killing us and they've got to get open," Keady said.

"We don't have someone who is a true defensive stopper." Martin couldn't contain Calbert Cheaney, who had 23 points as all 10 Blazers back on track After a sputtering start, the Portland Trail Blazers are back where they belong. Clyde Drexler, the only Portland starter who didn't struggle in the first half of the season, scored 39 points Tuesday night as the Trail blazers reclaimed first place in the Pacific Division with a 124-116 overtime victory over the Golden State Warriors. iNew raiestine press unravels u-C "For us, it's been a long time tfA-coacn hired to lead Colts By STEVE HERMAN AP Sports Writer coming, Drexler said.

But the offense was only part of the problem for the Lady Cougars. A tenacious New Pal press gave G-C all sorts of problems, allowing the Lady Dragons to outscore them 22-9 in the second period and 19-12 in the third. "We did a really good job on offense, we got on them," said New Pal coach Al Cooper. "But really, it was our defense that did it for us." "Their press shouldn't have both- ered us if we'd done what we were' supposed to do," said Greenfield coach Jim Kent. "We just didn't play well." And to add salt to their wounds, G-C may have lost one of its premier players.

In the third period, guard Tammy Richmond had to be carried off the floor for an apparent knee injury. Additional details were not available at press time. For the Dragons, Kelly Brewer led the way with 15 points, followed by Sarah Haynes' 12 and 10 each from Heather Theyssefi, Toby Wood and Jennifer Huser. But still, Cooper said the press was the key to the game. "I watched Mt.

Vernon press them virtually the whole game and we kind of did the same thing," he said. "And unfortunately, when we don't press, it kind of takes us out of our game and what we want to do offensively. "We were just really solid tonight." For Greenfield, Carri Crider netted 15 points to lead the way while freshman Deanna Hall chipped in 10 points in a solid performance. But that didn't make it any easier for coach Kent. "To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement," Kent said.
