Stanford trips UCLA, 64-60
By ERIC PREWITT AP Sports Writer With Rich Kelley and Ed Schweitzer pushing the release valves, the Stanford Cardinals vented frustration built up in 17 straight basketball losses to UCLA over a nine-year span by upsetting the second-ranked Bruins 64-60 Friday night. Kelley, Stanford’s 7-foot center, and Schweitzer, a 6-8 M> forward, each scored 22 points for the Cards in handing UCLA its first setback in 13 games this season before a sellout crowd of 7,903. “I knew they had a good ball club,” said Coach John Wooden of UCLA. “I never underestimated Stanford. Kelley played very good. He’s improved a lot over last year.” The Cards, 7-6 over-all, now are tied with UCLA at 2-1 in the Pacific-8 Conference and meet sixth-ranked Southern California here tonight. The Trojans are 3-0 in the Pac-8 after an 85-65 triumph over California at Berkeley Friday night and have a 13-1 mark for all games. “This victory will mean nothing if we don’t come through against USC tonight,” Coach Howie Dallmar of Stanford said after the UCLA upset. Kelley, a senior, was 7-for-14 from the field and 8-for-8 from the free throw line and grabbed 13 rebounds. Schweitzer had nine field goals and got 13 of his points in the first half as Stanford moved to a 37-24 halftime lead.

In the Second half the Bruins came back to within four points as Richard Washington, who led UCLA with 17, hit a jumper to make it 47-43 with 9:54 left. But the Cards regained a sevenpoint margin on a threepoint play by Scott Trobbe and held off the Bruins the rest of the way. “We came back in the second half,” said Wooden. “This loss is not going to lay us out at all. “I wouldn’t b 6 surprised if the winner of this conference has three losses. I believe if you can win them all at home and get better than even splits on the road, you can win. It can’t get any tougher than what we faced tonight.” Kelley said he thought the Bruins’ “fundamental post defense is weak” now that All - merican center Bill Walton has graduated to professional basketball. “I don’t think they can stay with a 7-footer with good moves,” Kelley said. The fourth foul by UCLA starting center Ralph Drollinger gave Kelley two free throws that sent Stanford ahead by 15 points at the start of the second half. Drollinger got oily three rebounds and one field goal. The Trojans haven’t been alone atop the Pac-8 since 1961. In other games involving ranked teams Friday night, No. 9 Arizona State beat Texas-El Paso 61-56 and No. 13 Arizona blasted New Mexico 67-49. Gus Williams scored 26 points to pace Southern Cal’s victory over California. John Lambert contributed 17 points to Southern Cal’s success and had a game-high 15 rebounds. Ken Wright tipped in a missed free throw with 2:59 remaining to trigger Arizona State past Texas-El Paso. The basket gave the Sun Devils a 5452 lead and they held on the rest
Clovers take fourth straight loss from Southmont
CRAWFORDSVILLE - It was a close encounter for three quarters here Friday night, but Southmont pulled away in the final stanza to hand Cloverdale’s Clovers their fourth straight loss, 68-56. The game was basically decided at the free throw line, as the Mounties made good on 12 of 19 free throw attempts; Cloverdale had only six chances at the charity stripe, connecting on two. The two teams were nearly even from the field; Southmont had 28 field goals to the Clover’s 27. The win was especially sweet for Mountie mentor Rick Ford, as it was against his old “alma mater.” Ford, as most will remember, was a standout performer for the Clovers in his high school days and represented Cloverdale as a member of the Indiana All-Star team his senior year in 1968. “It feels good to win any game,” Ford commented, “but it’s really satisfying to beat your old team and your old

The Wildcats Overcame a sevenpoint deficit and then built a nine-point lead with about six minutes left. In other action, Columbia beat Cornell 84-81; Southern Illinois bombed Louisiana Tech 94-58; Nevada-Las Vegas tipped San Francisco 77-75 and Utica trimmed Hobart 68-65.
Nets prove point with 108-93 Colonel cropping
By The Associated Press New York Nets Coach Kevin Loughery said his team had a point to prove Friday night, and prove it they did. “It’s about time we establish that we’re the team to beat,” said Loughery of his defending American Basketball Association champions, who went out and established something w that effect with a 108-93 triumph over the Kentucky Colonels. The victory, before a crowd of 12,133, largest of the season at the Nassau Coliseum, lifted New York over Kentucky into first place in the ABA East. The Nets are 30-13, the Colonels 2913. “This series is building up to one of the fiercest in the league,” said Loughery. “It’s playoff ball every time we meet.” Elsewhere in the ABA, the Memphis Sounds beat the Virginia Squires 92-79, the San Antonio Spurs outscored the Spirits of St. Louis 139-120 and the Indiana Pacers trimmed the San Diego Q’s 108-107. The key to the Nets’ victory was Julius Erving. The superstar forward scored 40 points on 16 of 26 from the field and 8 of 11 from the line. He also grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds, made four steals and added a pair of assists and a blocked shot. “I had my legs tonight,” said Erving, who is plagued by tendiitis in both knees. “I’ve been playing lousy ball for the last three weeks. It was time to snap out of it. Maybe the drought is over. Erving made a believer of Colonels Coach Hubie Brown. “He rises to the occasion,” said Brown. I don’t know what he does against other clubs, but he sure kills us. The kid’s beautiful—a delight to watch. It’s too bad he’s doing it against

coach (A 1 Tucker), whom I greatly admire and respect. “Cloverdale is hampered by not having a real good offense,” he continued, “but the players give 110 percent effort. They’re a tremendous defensive team.” Junior center Steve Farson (who is listed in the official program at 6’2” but has to be at least an inch or two taller), and senior forward Malcolm Davidson provided most of the offensive punch for the Mounties, as both scored almost at will underneath. Farson lead all scorers with 19 points, and Davidson picked up 18. It was a hard-fought first quarter, as Southmont maintained only two and four point
Eagles soar over Eels for second straight win,79-69
The Eagles of South Putnam improved their season record to a respectable 8-4 by downing the visiting Eminence Eeels 7969, in county basketball action Friday night. The Eagles did not play as impressively as they did a week ago in their romp of Rockville, as both they and the Eels played sluggishly and committed needless errors and fouls. Free throws, once again, plagued the South Put crew as they connected on 13 out of 25. The score, however, is much closer than it really indicates. Coach Goldsberry was able to substitute early and freely but with most of the starters on the bench, the subs were not able to move and score as well as
us.” Kentucky jumped off to a 2514 lead in the first quarter before New York got its game going. Colonels center Artis Gilmore sewed the first six points of the game and had 12 points in the quarter, while Erving answered with 15 for the Nets, who cut the deficit to 35-33 at the end of the period. It was all New York the rest of the way. The Nets went ahead for good 52-50 on a jumper by Bill Melchionni with 3:45 to play in the half. The Colonels stayed close until the final quarter, when they could manage just 14 points and New York pulled away. Gilmore topped the Colonels with 29 points and 12 rebounds. Pacers 108, Q’s 107 George McGinnis scored 33 points inccluding a shot with 52 seconds left to lead Indiana. Caldwell Jones scored 30 for San Diego. Spurs 138, Spirits 120 San Antonio hit a torrid .595 percentage from the field in overwhelming the Spirits. James Silas had 31 points, George Gervin 30 and Rich Jones 28 for the Spurs. Sounds 92, Squires 79 Mel Daniels came off the bench to score 12 points in the fourth quarter to spark the Sounds to victory and saddle Virginia with its 10th consecutive loss. Bullets 103, 76ers 92 Elvin Hayes’ 31 points keyed the Bullets’ triumph as Washington raised its record to 30-13, best in the NBA. Celtics 96, Pistons 90 Dave Cowens 23 to lead Boston past Detroit. Bob Lanier had 30 points for the Pistons. Suns 115, Bulls 105 Backcourtmen Charlie Scott and Dick Van Arsdale combined for 51 points for the Suns.

leads. The Clovers got the good shots, sometimes two or three from underneath, as the Mounties took a 14-12 lead at the end of the first stop. Farson got the first bucket of the second period, followed by two consecutive two-pointers, pushing Southmont’s lead to 2012 with 6:35 remaining. The Clovers incorporated a fullcourt press at that point, as junior forward Geoff Gale’s marksmanship brought the Clovers back to within 5, 29-24 with 1:20 remaining. Gale’s baseline jumper at the buzzer accounted for the 29-28 Southmont halftime lead. The Clovers went out to a brief two-point lead with about a half-minute expired in the
they did last week. But regardless of the score the South Putnam fans, who love to win and who are beginning to show more spirit and pride in their Eagles, were able leave smiling. The play started when center Jeff Brudge flipped the ball to his Eagle teammates and Keith Puckett wasted little time in hitting the hoop to start the Eagles on their way to victory number eight. Eminence ace, Bill McDaniels, who led all scorers with 30 big points, put the Eels in the game and tied the score at 2-2 with a fieldgoal. Aggressive Puckett picked up his first foul and the Eels got the ball only to have the hungry Eagles steal it back. Terry Brock fouled and then was able to steal the ball and score to give the Eels their only lead of the night, 4-2, with 6:00 minutes left. Burdge hit for the Eagles to even the score at 4-4 with 5:40 cm the clock. At this point the Eagles began to press the Eels, only to steal the ball and lose it by way of a traveling violation. Wayne Erwin then was able to once again steal the ball and thrill the Eagles backers with a pass behind the back to Puckett, who dropped it through the hoop and set the score at 6-4 and bring the fans to their feet cheering for more. Senior Mark Cowger gave them just that as he stole the ball and scored for an 8-4 count. Eminence decided to talk things over and called time out with 4:30 remaining in the first period. The play resumed with South Put having difficulty getting position for the rebounds and also failing to get back on defense and the Eels stayed right with them. The first period ended with the Eagles holding on to a meager 12-11 lead. The second period saw Burdge once again hitting the ball to his teammates and South Putnam soon held a seven point advantage, 18-11. About three minutes passed before Eminence was able to score. It wasn’t until Burdge fouled McDaniels and he connected on one free throw attempt to give his team 12 points to the Eagles’ 18. The next two minutes saw both teams exchange buckets but with 3:47 left Erwin blocked an Eel shot and Mike Brown recovered the ball only to be fouled. Brown made the first, missed the second but was able to retrieve the rebound and score. It was at this point that the Eagles began to fly and when the half ended South Putnam was up on top, 36-22. The second half once again found the Eagles controlling the tip and scoring, stealing the

third period, on senior center Tom Alexander’s field goal 3029. But two straight buckets from underneath by Farson, followed by his connecting on both ends of a one-and-one put the Mounties back out ahead 3530 with 5:43 left in the third quarter. Southmont held leads of 2-4 points the next two minutes, until senior guard Curt Cummings fired a twentyfooter from the right side to tie the game 38-38. It was at this point that the Mounties turned the game around via senior forward Sam Yeager and Farson’s gunning, as Southmont raced out to a 4842 lead at the end of the third quarter.
ball and scoring and repeating the same execution to take over 20 point margin 42-22 with 6:50 on the clock. John Scobee, who does a lot of good rebounding and is a good shooter, entered the game ad did Doug Greenlee and along with Puckett, Erwin, and Chesshir were able to keep the Eagles flying. When the third period ended they held a 21 point lead, 58-37. The fourth and final stanza found Erwin, Burdge, Ames, Cowger, and Chesshir operating the “Eagle Machine” and soon the score stood at 63-39 with 6:55 remaining. Coach Goldsberry, figuring the subs could hold their own, put Mark Holderfield in the game for Cowger. It was at this point the Eagles began to break down and the Eels began to catch up. Greenlee and Joe Burnham were then given a chance for a piece of the action as was Mike McCammack with 5:02 left. With the score once again at 7353 the Eels realed off nine straight points before the Eagles could find the hoop and the score was 73-62 with 2:20 left. Holderfield was whistled for his second foul only to pick up a technical foul and this gave the Eels much more incentive to move closer. Coach Goldsberry, probably realizing with two minutes left the Eels could pull off an upset, reinstated four of the starters and they were able to hold off the fired up Eels to finally claim the 79-69 victory. The Junior Varsity under the enthusiastic direction of Coach Roger Fleetwood outlasted the Eminence Junior Varsity 43-33 to now claim an 11-1 season record. South Putnam fans will be in action again Tuesday cheering on the “Eagle Machine” when they hope to pick up victory number 9 as they travel to Clay County for the third time this season to meet the Brazil Red Devils. The South Put crew will be hoping the third time charm will work for them on this trip. The two previous trips west this season have accounted for two of their four defeats as they have lost to tough Staunton and Van Buren.

The Mounties took up where they left off at the beginning of the fourth period, maintaining comfortable 10 point leads until with 2:30 left Davidson’s field goal gave Southmont its biggest lead of the game, 62-48. Gale, Chestnut, and junior guard Rick Anderson kept the Clovers respectively close down to the closing minutes of the game, as Barron’s field goal with :10 left ended the scoring.
