irt:,! Hoosiers face big tourney
"ationau test; New Ilfe for Irish
College Player of the Year Scott May showed last Saturday why many felt his absence during last year’s post-season tournament proved such a vital blow to his Hoosier teammates. After his splendid performance against a fired-up St.
John’s team last weekend, Indiana undoubtedly feels relieved their superstar is healthy this year-and above all, at his usual brilliance in sparking the nation’s No. 1 to such monstrous performances. The Hoosier used a brisk
second-half explosion-led by May to hand the Redmen a 90-70 opening round los Saturday, and All-American May, forced to play much of last year’s post-season games lame, TURN TO PAGE 17

I’VE GOT THIS ONE: Action in last weekend’s Hinkle Regional championship game between Northwest and champ Perry Meredian caught these players battling for this loose ball rebound. Northwest front-liners Keith Boyd [44], Leon Manning [34], and Perry Meredian’s Joe Carrigan [32] wait in anticipation for the rebound in left photo, while the outstretched arms of several players lunge for the ball in action in right photo. Northwest’s Manning managed to
retrieve the rebound, but not without contestion from Perry Meredian’s Ken Montgomery, [far left] and Kevin Rostenkowski [14]. Northwest players Keith Boyd [44], and Bob Ritter [40] look on, as does Falcon forward Joe Carrigan [32]. Perry Meredian went on to hand previously eight-ranked Northwest a 74-67 stunning loss.

MS. PAT BARLOW When the National Golden Gloves Tournament opens March 23 in Miami, Ms. Pat Barlow of Indianapolis will be there, but not as a spectator. In fact, her presence will make history. Ms. Barlow, a sports fan with many interest, will become the first woman judge in the tourney, which will see Miami invaded by hundreds of fighters many of them Olympic hopefuls and more than 100 judges from throughout the United States. The tournament will continue until March 28, and some 11 fighters from the Indianapolis area will be participating. ‘Pat has been judging boxing matches in Indianapolis since 1973 and has attended national tournaments in Denver and Knoxville, Tenn.

May or Dantley! Take your pick
Hoosier Hysteria has come down to the “Sweet Sixteen” which will take to the court this weekend--all in hopes of landing berths into next week’s field of final four candidates at Market Square Arena battling to capture the 66th IHSAA crown. This hysteria can be heard from many portions of the state for now, but more louder than ever is undoubtedly the ring of glee in capital city representative Perry Meridian,

SCOTT MAY As the college hardwood season dwindles to only the post-season excitement that is currently in progress, most of the balloting for post-season individual honors are going as expected, to Hoosier players TURN TO PAGE 17
This week’s Sportsman seems uncontestantly deserving of the honor, being that he has spent several years developing and mentoring outstanding young athletes, specifically those who have found the hardwood activities a source of fortune. Bill Smith, head basketball coach at Broad Ripple High School, is one that shys from accepting the credit for placing young men in such healthy environments, yet without a doubt, quite a few of today’s local basketball players won’t hesitate to confirm that much of the credit for their development goes to Smith. After losing a hearbreaking game to Lawrence Central several weeks ago in the Sectional semi-finals at Hinkle, several reports began scattering toward the fact that Smith was prepared to pack his bags, and possibly accept a different job at Wisconsin-where it had been leaked that the administration was seeking a black coach. “This was not really my main concern,” said Smith. “Yes, I applied for the position, but not under presumptions that my color would have that much to TURN TO PAGE 17 Smith’s bid for Big Ten gig falls short Bill Coefield, assistant coach at Virginia University, was named this week head basketball coach at Wisconsin University, ending local speculation that the job would go to Broad Ripple head coach William Smith. University of Wisconsin officials said that Coefield, the first black to land a head coaching job in a major sport in the Big Ten, would be joining the staff immediately assuming a five-year contract with a $25,000 salary for the first year. The job has been open since former head coach John Powless announced his resignaTURN TO PAGE 17

TRENTON, N. J.~ Optimism was high in Rubin ‘Hurricane’ Carter’s corner Wednesday as the New Jersey Supreme Court ordered a new trial for the ex-middleweight boxer, ruling his 1967 triple murder trial had been substantially biased and prejudiced. Ali-Young bout on LANDOVER, Md.--Muhammad Ali, already assured of a $1.5 million paycheck for defending his world heavyweight title against Richard Dunn of Britain, announced last week plans to meet thirdranked Jimmy Young here in a 15- round title bout April 30. All’s fight with Young will be staged in the Capital Centre, home of the NBA’s Bullets and will be the first heavyweight title fight in Maryland since Joe Louis whipped Buddy Baer in 1941. Young, who has a record of 16- 4-2, scored his biggest victory over Ron Lyle, who was then ranked No. 4, but'has TURN TO PAGE 17
The court ruled unanimously that Carter and co-defendant John Artis had been substantially prejudiced by the prosecution's failure to disclose promises of leniences to a key prosecution witness who at the time himself faced criminal charges. Six more ink Tribe pacts Outfielders Dave Schneck, Greg Sinatro, and southpaw hurler Rich Hinton have returned their 1976 signed Indianapolis Indians contracts bringing the total to 11 of the 17 on the Indiana roster under contract. Schneck appeared i n 23 games last year with the Tribe following his acquisition from the Toledo Mudhens of the International League in a trade for John Vukovich. He had 3 doubles, 1 triple, 1 homerun and 5 RBI’s for a .250 batting mark. Sinatro was in 29 games and TURN TO PAGE 18
