COACH MIKE STEELE: Gives Tigers instructions
Kentucky's guards key to win over Hoosiers
By LARRY SIDDONS AP Sports Writer Tell a college basketball team it will be without its 7-foot center for at least the first month of the season, including a game against an archrival who happens to be the defending national champion, and most squads likely would start to think about what might have been. Not Kentucky. With towering junior Sam Bowie out with a broken leg, the second-ranked Wildcats are still unbeaten, including a 85-69 thrashing of lOth-ranked Indiana, last season’s NCAA titleholder, Tuesday night. A 29-11 spurt led to guards Dirk Minniefield and Jim Master helped the Wildcats build a 47-25 halftime lead. “The first half was absolutely super,” said Kentucky Coach Joe B. Hall. “It was about as good a half as we could have played.” Minniefield scored 12 of his 22 points and Master 11 of his 17 during the first-half run. “Master and Minniefield,” said Bobby Knight, whose team fell to 2-1. “They shot well and their guard play was great. We just got beaten badly in the first half by a team that’s a hell of a lot better than we are.” In other games Tuesday involving teams in The Associated Press Top Twenty, it was N 0.4 Wichita State 94, Long Beach State 71; N 0.6 lowa 79, lowa State 68; No.B Minnesota 80, Drake 55; N 0.13 Missouri 78, Illinois 68 in overtime; N 0.14 Tulsa 93, Oklahoma State 82, and No.lß Southwest Louisiana 91, Lousiana College 59. The Top Ten After N 0.2 Kentucky pulled away in the first half at Lexington, Indiana closed in during the second half as, in Hall’s words, “we showed a lack of a killer instinct and we just went native.” Kentucky also was helped by two quick technical fouls against Knight, who argued with an official over what he believed was an offensive goaltending violation by Kentucky. Master hit three of the four technical free throws to give Kentucky a 25-13 lead. Ted Kitchel led No.lo Indiana with 17 points and Randy Wittman added 14. Fourth-ranked Wichita State had a tough time shaking Long Beach State, trailing 49-48 early in the second half before scoring 22 of the next 30 points. Cliff Levingston scored 25 points and grabbed 19 rebounds, leading the undefeated Shockers to their fourth victory. Guard Tony Martin and forward Antoine

Carr added 19 and 16 points, respectively, for the Shockers. Dino Gregory paced Long Beach State, 2-2, with 25 points and eight rebounds. Freshman Michael Payne scored 17 points and Bob Hansen added 16 as sixth-ranked lowa defeated lowa State. The Hawkeyes, 4-0, led by 11 at the half and by as many as 15 before lowa State closed to within seven points, 61-54, with 8:10 remaining. But Kevin Boyle then hit a short jumper and fed Steve Carfino for a 17-footer to increase the lead to 65-54 with 6:01 left, and the Hawkeyes hit 12 of 13 free throws down the stretch. “lowa State made a good run at us in the second half. They should thank us,” said lowa Coach Lute Olson. “We used very poor judgment when we were up by 15 points. We were impatient. Once we got patience, we made them play defense for a while.” Freshman Barry Stevens had 18 points for lowa State, 2-2. Twenty points from guard Darryl Mitchell and 17 from 7-foot-3 Randy Breuer led eighth-ranked Minnesota past Drake. The Gophers, 4-0, held a 14-4 lead after the first 6V2 minutes, maintained that advantage through the first half and pulled away after halftime, with Breuer going to the bench midway through the second half. Drake, 1-3, was paced by 13 points by Stephfon Butler and 12 by Leon Van Hook. The Second Ten Ricky Frazier scored 28 points, including a basket with 2:22 left in overtime to put 13th-ranked Missouri ahead for good in its game against Illinois. John Sundvold added 24 points for Missouri, now 4-0. Craig Tucker, whose three points in the final seconds of regulation time sent the game into overtime, led the Illini with 23 points. David Brown, Paul Pressey and Greg Stewart, Tulsa’s big front line, combined for 67 points as the 14th-ranked Hurricane defeated Oklahoma State, which lost for the first time in five starts. Southwestern Louisiana improved its record to 6-0 by crushing Louisana College behind the scoring of Alfred Turner, Dion Brown, Graylin Warner and Dan Gay. Louisiana College led 16-10 in the early going, but the Ragin’ Cajuns ran to a 34-27 halftime advantage and led by as many as 34 points in the final period.

DePauw lost in 17 minutes
By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor DePauw University tried a little psychology on Hanover College Tuesday night and for about three quarters of the 40minute basketball game the role reversal ploy worked. However, as quickly as the Tigers built a nice comfortable nine-point cushion the now 8-1 Panthers rallied on three Tiger turnovers and a missed inside shot to score a 62-57 victory over now 1-3 DePauw at Bowman Gym. THE TIGERS CAN’T dwell on how or why they lost to Hanover long for John Mutcher got a first hand look at them in defeat and his RoseHulman Engineers will be ready for Thursday night’s visit to Terre Haute. Game time is 7:30p.m. The last 17 minutes of the ball game were a complete reversal of the first 23. DePauw took a 33-28 halftime lead by shooting 56 per cent (14-25) from the floor, while Hanover shot only 43 percent (13-33). However, a key to DePauw’s shooting was shot selection, as the Tigers took the good majority of their shots inside 15 feet of the goal and didn’t give

the Panthers too many second shots on the opposite end. WHEN THE perimeter shots started falling in the first three minutes of the second half DePauw showed its lack of experience by walking right into an ambush. “We started off the second half and we made the perimeter shots and then a lot of times two things happen, you start really looking for the perimeter shots instead of looking to go inside some and we did that,” coach Mike Steele said after his first confrontation with veteran coach John Collier. “And another thing, when you make all of your perimeter shots guys quit going to the boards. I thought we did both of those things tonight.” DePauw launched from a

Wooden's successors caught
LOS ANGELES (An - UCLA’s talented basketball team, considered among the nation’s best before this season began, won’t get a chance to prove it in the postseason national collegiate championship tournament. That’s because the NCAA, citing numerous violations, slapped a two-year probation on the Bruins’ basketball program Tuesday. It also ordered the university to return its secondplace trophy from the 1980 tournament. UCLA, which won 10 national basketball championships under Coach John Wooden from 1964 through 1975, also will be barred from next spring's NCAA tournament. The Bruins, however, will be eligible for the 1983 tournament. There had been speculation that UCLA might be able to play in the National Invitation Tour-
five-point advantage to a ninepoint, 39-30 lead behind the perimeter shooting of Greg Notestine. Ron Huser kept the margin at nine, 41-32, with a bucket but at the 16:50 mark the Panthers started clawing their way back into the game. WHEN COACH STEELE scouted Hanover, two times, guard Steve Avila, a two-year letterman for coach Collier, didn’t show the ability to hit the outside shot consistently enough to warrant hard pressure. But it was his eight second half perimeter points that opened things up for 6-5, 220-pound three-year varsity forward Joe Brunk. Three quick turnovers by DePauw and a missed inside shot that Hanover converted into a fastbreak basket wiped out
nament next March, but the NCAA ruling also wiped out that possibility. UCLA Athletic Director Bob Fischer wouldn’t comment on the NCAA’s action. “Tomorrow we have a press conference. I have nothing to say until that time,” said Fischer Tuesday night. It had been announced earlier that a press conference would be held today, starting at 10 a.m., PST. Coach Larry Farmer was unavailable for comment, but a member of the UCLA athletic department said he was certain that nobody involved with the school would say anything until the press conference. Wooden also was unavailable for comment. The Associated Press was told that he was out of town and wouldn’t return until sometime today. In addition to the probation,
DePauw’s lead and with 12:48 left in the game Hanover took a 44-43 advantage. The margin went to three points after a Tiger misfire and Hanover had the lead for good. Dave Hathaway, who contributed 10 of the 21 points DePauw got from its bench strength, pulled the Tigers within one, 54-53, at 5:46 when he netted one from 17 feet. However, when the Tigers tried forcing the ball inside Avila converted the turnover into a 56-53 Hanover lead and the Tigers never got closer. DePAUW TOOK ITS first half advantage on inside baskets, taking nearly all of its shots inside 15 feet. Aponte started his team leading 13-point night with a layup on the first of Ted Rutan’s nine assists on the
the university has been told to “disassociate one representative of its athletic interests from participating in any recruiting activities on behalf of the university in the future,” the NCAA said in a prepared news release. The NCAA said UCLA already has taken such action against a second representative. The earliest basketball violation cited by the NCAA occurred in 1977, two years after Wooden retired and was

opening tipoff. Joe Dixon, who scored all 10 of his game total in the first half, netted a 13-footer from just outside the lane and the Tigers led 4-0. Hanover’s defense continued to give Dixon the 13 to 15-foot shot and along with Huser’s 7 and Aponte’s nine first half points the Tigers took a 12-6 lead. The Panthers changed the game’s tempo a little with some light fullcourt zone pressure and tied the contest 14-14 before moving out to a three-point 2219, lead. Back-to-back Huser baskets put DePauw back on top 25-24 and after a brief tie at 26-26 Huser’s three-point play started the Tigers to a 33-28 halftime lead.
