It will take weeks Just to get back to the .500 mark. Yet, despite this shoddy start, Zollner made it plain that he was in McGuire's corner. "DICK IS IX absolutely no danger of losing his job," said the gray-haired industrialist, who has known almost nothing but frustration since moving his team from Fort Wayne to Detroit six years ago. "In fact," Zollner went on, "I'm trying to give him all the help I can. We're working together on this thing.

I've always admired Dick from the days he was a player. He was a team man then, and he's a team man now. Turn to Page 2B, Column 4 his downtown office, McGuire stood at his side. McGTJIRE SHIFTED from one foot to the other but not because he felt uneasy. He knew his job was safe.

That there was no animosity involved when Shue finally was traded to the New York Knickerbockers for Darrall Imhoff.

0 That McGuire is running the show on the floor and if he doesn't want to play Imhoff, he doesn't have to. 0 And, finally, th the Pistons won't be pressured into playing Dave DeBusschere simply, because he is a hometown favorite. Zollner was in a candid mood as he discussed the status of his slump -ridden pro basketball team.

The victory was worth an extra-large plume in the hat of the Cavaliers' first year coach, George Perles, something of a coaching prodigy at 28. The Cavaliers went about their task almost too gallantly, letting Cooley threaten three times before clicking on a 80-yard pass from Ron Albers to end Mike Goff for a 6-0 lead just 22 seconds before the half.
