South Carolina. Tourney Hopes Rise Forte’s feat helped keep alive Columbia’s hopes of an NCAA tourney berth through overtaking Yale in the Ivy League or through a member-at-large berth. The “David vs. two Goliaths” scoring battle once again overshadowed another of North Carolina’s elefee brushes with disasler. The nation’s No. 1 team and only major unbeaten squad managed to push its record to 20-0 blit only by an eyelash in a 72-69 win at home e over Wake Forest. ■> It was’ the fourth straight "squeaker” for the Tar Heels and “ the fourth straight game in which *• chunky Tommy Kearns saved the n bacon. Wake Forest, ranked, 14th a nationally, had rallied from an 11- " point deficit to trail by only 68-67 “ with 64 seconds left when the fiveh 11 Tar Heel junior from Bergena field, N.J., took charge. His two e free’ throws with 45 seconds left y boosted the edge to 70-67. After Carolina added a free e throw and Wake Forest a basket, e Kearns dribbled for 13 seconds be'r fore being fouled and added the final point with just one second to go. Canlsius Upset Victim Bradley, the nation's No. 5 team, gained a tie with Wichita for first place in the three-cor-nered Missouri Valley race by whipping St. Louis' zone defense, 76-70. Jack Mimlitz of St. Louis took scoring honors with 20points, but his team dropped to a 7-2 mark while Bradley moved up with Wichita at 7-1. Seton Hall scored the biggest upset, 102-87, over llth-ranked Canisius as speedy Dick Gaines hit for 34 points. Eighth-ranked Louisville scored 40 points in the first ■ 12 minutes and cruised to a 99-79 win over Marquette despite Mike Moran’s 29 points. A slim schedule tonight features tourney-hopefuTUtah tn a key Skyline Conference game against Montana, 19th-ranked Dayton at home against Regis and a Madison Square Garden twin bill with Niagara-St. John’s (N.Y.) and Manhattan-NYU.

Joey Brown Is Winner In Ist Title Defense MIAMI BEACH (UP)— Jubilant Joey Brown, fresh from a TKO victory in his first defense of the lightweight crown, aimed at some “fast, big money” today in a May title bout with southpaw Kenny Lane. Brown received $15,924 for stopping ex-champ Wallace <Bud) Smith in the 11th round of their return title fight Wednesday night before a sellout crowd of 4,129 at Miami Beach Auditorium. It was the first purse for lanky Joe of New Orleans since he won the 135-pound crown from Smith of East Orange, N.J., last Aug. 24. And, although it was the largest of his career, he said, “That's peanuts compared to what I’ll make — now that Smith is out of the way and my right hand is in good shape.” Lane Logical Opponent Truman Gibson, executive secretary of the International Boxing Club, said, "Since Brown wants to make money in a quick fight, his logical opponent is Kenny Lane—a good puncher who can really test the champion's chin.” Champion Brown, 30, registered his eighth straight win Wednesday night when Dr. Alexander Robbins examined Smith in his corner after the end of the 10th round and waved his hands to signify that the bout was stopped. Smith was bleeding from a cut ‘inside his mouth, and he claimed he had been unable to see properly from his left eye after a blow in the fourth round. Smith, weighing 134 pounds to Brown’s 134%, suffered his fifth straight defeat and his third consecutive loss to champion Joey. Smith lost the title on a split decision to Brown at New Orleans last August, after having been outpointed by Brown in a non-title 10-rounder three months earlier. Wrist In Shape Brown fractured his right wrist in the second round at New Orleans, but the mitt was in good shape Wednesday night — as he did a fast-stepping weave from side to side, avoiding awkward Bud’s attempted rushes, and sharp-shooting at him with long left jabs and straight rights. Smith s legs appeared to be “gone.” At 27, he no longer was able to step in with his old crushers against a fast-mqying opponent. Brown was winning in such lopsided fashion when the bout was stqjspectottial. only one of the three ring dfflffiisds credited Srriifh with a single round. The voting on a 16-points-mtist basis, at the end of the 10th, was 100-91, 99-92, 100-91. Smith landed a few good left hooks in the fourth and eighth sessions. However, Bud’s attack generally was so pathetic and Brown’s evasive footwork was so successful that it was a dull bout, and the fans were yelling for action after the fifth round. All Eligible Teams Entered In Tourney INDIANAPOLIS (ID — AU 739 teams eligible for the 47th annual Indiana nigh school basketball tourney were in the fold today following entry of the last 23 teams prior to the 4 p.m. CST deadline Wednesday. .. fei Fort Wayne North, a member of the final four two years ago, and Uttle Chili, (Miami County), were the last two teams to file at the office of IHSAA Commissioner L. V, Phillips Wednesday. “We counted the entries 3 or 4 times and they aU seem to be here K ” PhUlips said. “If there is anybody missing we don’t know who it is and, at any rate, they would be in bad shape.” In addition to receiving .entries from the final two dozen schools, Phillips said numerous last-day personnel changes in rosters were reported. He said most of the changes were due to injuries or illness, or t<? coaches who didn't makeuptheir minds until theta st minute to certify rosters. Any player not certified byMhe deadline cannot participate in the tourney. ; Phillips said the total entry list was 3 less than last year.
