Emotionally unprepared Maryland squeezes past Virginia , 86-79

By KEN RAPPOPORT AP Sports Writer Yes, Virginia, there is a sanity clause. Maryland’s fourth-ranked basketball team doesn’t always go crazy and the Cavaliers, caught the Terps in one of their more subdued moments Tuesday night. But they didn’t beat them. “It was complacency, I

Jackson State to top of college division cage poll

By The Associated Press Coach Paul Covington says his Jackson State basketball team, ranked first in The Associated Press college division poll, is “not a very emotional bunch.” “Oh. they were elated over being No. 1,” Covington said Tuesday night. ‘Their feeling was that they should have been up there a lot sooner.” But he said excitement nearly got the best of his team Monday night when it had to come from behind to defeat seventhranked Southern University 100-92. The game was at Jackson’s College Park Auditorium, a 2,-500-seat gym known locally as the “Snake Pit.” Covington said the home-crowd excitement after six straight road games was almost too much. “The crowd was a little too close to us. We were a little over keyed ... We’d been away a long time and the players wanted to win the game in the first minute,” Covington said. But Jackson State, led by Eugene Short with 39 points, Survived a rough start and won its 17th victory against two losses. “Nobody can catch them,” Southern Coach Carl Stewart said afterward. “From what I’ve seen, they’re No. 1. They get my vote. Anybody who beats my team twice and let’s face it, Pve got a super team has got to be great,” Stewart said. Jackson State replaced the Kentucky State Thorobreds as the No. 1 team in this week’s national poll of sports Writers and broadcasters. The Tigers got 14 first-place votes and 269 points. Kentucky State, No. 1 for seven straight weeks, slipped to third after losing to Pikeville 102-88. The Thorobreds, who beat Carson-Newman 90-67, got four first-place votes and 223 points. Gardner-Webb, idle last week, climbed from fourth to second place, collecting four first-place votes and 246 points. New Orleans moved from 10th to fourth, gathering three first-place votes and 182 points after beating Tennessee-Chat-tanooga 85-75 and Eastern

Indy 500 time rolling around: forms mailed

INDIANAPOLIS - Official entry forms for the 59th annual 500-mile race on May 25 were mailed to members of the racing fraternity yesterday by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and a field of approximately 60 is expected. Engine specifications, announced earlier by the United States Auto Club, will be the same as in 1974, but changes have been made in several other rules. Two of the most important specify: an increase of 10 miles an hour for all phases of the required test for drivers without previous 500-mile race experience; and prohibit the use of devices or controls that remotely regulate manifold pressure on turbocharged engines. The test for rookie drivers this year will consist of 10 laps (25 miles) at each of the following minimum speeds - 160, 165 and 170 miles an hour- - and 10 additional laps “at whatever speed the driver feels comfortable in excess of 170 miles an hour.’’ A four-lap qualifying speed of 180 probably will be necessary to earn a starting position behind the Buick pace car. Last year’s outstanding Indianapolis drivers, without exception, are expected to return and several of them will have all-new equipment. New cars already are nearing completion for the Patrick,

guess,” said Maryland’s Moe Howard after a tight 86-79 victory over the underpriveleged Cavaliers. “I know I wasn’t emotionally prepared. I hope the coach recognizes this and jumps on us a little more.” The Terrapins’ machine is running in low gear as a result of last Saturday’s victory over North Carolina State. The same thing happened after beating

Michigan 66-65 in overtime. Bentley jumped from eighth to fifth, getting 154 votes after defeating Brandeis 94-82, Bryant 93-75 and Merrimack 105-98. Randolph Macon held fast in sixth place, getting one firstplace vote and 111 points despite an 82-81 loss to Virginia State. Southern, the team Jackson State beat, moved from 11th to seventh with victories over Louisianna College 98-64, and Mississippi Valley State, 96-83. The Jaguars got one first-place vote and 86 points. St. Mary’s (Tex.) advanced from 13th to eighth place with two first-place votes and 76 points. St. Mary’s beat East Baptist 79-67 and St. Edward’s 110-87. Old Dominion moved from 14th to ninth With 67 points, followed by Tennessee-Chat-tanooga, which fell from third after losing to New Orleans 8575 and Florida State 111-70. Other top 15 teams were Gannon with One first-place vote and 38 points; Marymount (Kan.) with one first-place vote and 28 points; Edinboro State with 26 points; C.W. Post with 21 points and Cameron with 18 points and one first-place vote. Morgan State, Eastern Illinois, Augustana, (S.D.), and Youngstown State dropped from the rankings.

the rough Wolfpack earlier this year. Coming down from a psychological high, the Terps had a bad game against Navy and lost to Clemson and North Carolina. Virginia Coach Terry Holland didn’t notice any discernible difference in the Terps, even if they themselves felt depressed. Noting Maryland’s 17-point lead at one time in the first half, Holland said: “We embar-

rassed ourselves.” In othef college basketball games involving ranked teams, No. 6 North Carolina State tripped No. 16 Clemson 92-89 and No. 11 Marquette Stopped Wisconsin 69-63. Maryland sank eight free throws in the last IV2 minutes, four by John Lucas, and shook off underdog Virginia in their Atlantic Coast Conference game. The Terps, 15-3 including

6-2 in the ACC, lost most of a 17point lead in the first half, then saw Virginia rally from a 74-60 deficit to pull within 78-75 with 2:10 remaining. Lucas, who led Maryland with 25 points, then missed a one-and-one free throw before the Terps converted four consecutive bonus situations from the foul line for their final eight points. The Terps made 22 of 25 free throws in the second half.

Brad Davis scored 24 points for Maryland and Howard had 12, giving Maryland’s threeguard offense 61 points. Andy Boninti topped Virginia, 9-8, with 22 points and Wally Walker scored 16 of his 20 while pacing the Cavaliers’ secondhalf rally. David Thompson gave Clemson a rude welcome to the national rankings, scoring 39 points to lead North Carolina

State over the Tigers. But North Carolina State needed all of Thompson’s firepower to withstand a furious Clemson rally in the second half. Marquette, paced by Earl Tatum’s 22 points, finished with a flourish to defeat arch-rival Wisconsin for the 10th straight time. Marcus McCoy and Bruce McCauley led the Badgers with 15 points apiece, followed by

Koehle r with 14. However, Marquette switched to a zone defense in the second half and held Koehler to three points in the last 20 minutes. Syracuse’s Orangemen continued their surprising season with a 97-89 victory over St. Bonaventure as Rudy Hackett scored 34 points and collected 21 rebounds. The victory improved Syracuse’s record to 134.
