Georgia Tech Handed First Season Defeat By DICK JOYCE DPI Sports Writer Mississippi State’s home-court invincibility has wrecked Georgia Tech’s 11-game winning streak, establishing coach Babe McCarthy’s Bulldogs as top dog again in the Southeastern Basketball Conference. W. D. (Red) Stroud, Mississippi State's skinny backcourt man who beat Georgia Tech with a lastsecond basket last year, scored 30 points in an 81-69 rout over the Yellow Jackets Monday night at Starkville, Miss. The loss knocked Tech off the unbeaten list, leaving only top-ranked Cincinnati, secondranked Loyola of Chicago and Niagara, ranked No. 18, on the major college perfect record list. The ninth - ranked Bulldogs moved in front of sixth-ranked Tech, 21-20, with seven minutes left in the half and were on top the rest of the way to score an important SEC victory. Kentucky (3-1) and Georgia Tech (2-1) are considered State’s toughest rivals for its fourth title in five years. Mississippi State now stands 3-1 in conference play and 11-3 overall. Leland Mitchell of the Bulldogs backed up Stroud Monday night with 25 points while sophomore Jim Caldwell led the Engineers with 16 points. Illinois, rated No. 3, was the only other member of the top 10 playing Monday night and barely emerged with a 78-76 victory over lightly regarded Northwestern at Evanston, 111. It took a desperation 60-foot hdiive by Bob ’’Starnes at the buzzer to earn the mini their 12th victory in 13 starts and their fourth straight victory in Big Ten action. Starnes, a 6-5 senior who is best-known for his rebounding ability, wound up as the game’s high scorer with 26 points. Dave Downey added 20 for Illinois while Rich Falk topped Northwestern with 21. The Wildcats stymied Illinois, the nation’s second highest scoring team, with a zone defense and never trailed until Starnes’ winning goal. In other games, Frank Christie’s 21 points paced Wake Forest to an 82-62 triumph over Virginia; Billy Cunningham’s 25 points led North Carolina over Maryland, 78-56; sophomore Ron Ceed grabbed 37 rebounds and scored 18 points as Notre Dame whipped Butler, 80-54; Minnesota, behind Terry Kunze’s 28 points, downed Michigan, 66-63; and Fred Riddle sparfed a late lowa rally for a 65-56 victory over Wisconsin.

AFL teams grabbed off about a dozen “name” players in the newest college crop, including three of the NFL’s No. 1 selections — Dave Behrman and Ed Budde of Michigan State and Jim Dunaway of MississippiHowever, in the overall picture the best of the college stars interested in turning professional have favored NFL teams by a ratio of 2-1 or better, according to a United Press International survey. Os 23 signed collegians who were claimed during the first five rounds of the December drafts in both leagues, 17 have gone to NFL clubs and 6 to the AFL. Behrman, who signed with the Buffalo Bills, and Budde, who signed with the Dallas Texans, were two of four collegians who were made the first-round draft picks of teams in both leagues. The other two preferred NFL teams, Jerry Sotvall of LSU signing with the St. Louis Cardinals and Kermit Alexander of UCLA with the San Francisco Forty Niners. Last year the NFL signed all six players who were made firstround choices to toe draft of each league. Here is how the competition has gone in the signing of playera drafted during the first five rounds by teams in both leagues: < NFL (17) — Stovall; Alexan-n der; Lee Roy Jordan, Alabama (Dallas Cowboys); Bob Vogel, Ohio State (Baltimore Colts); Tom Hutchinson, Kentucky (Cleveland Browns); Ray Poage, Texas (Minnesota Vikings); Dave Robinson, Penn State (Green Bay Packers); Daryl Sanders, Ohio State (Detroit Lions); Roy Williams, Univ, of Pacific (Lions); Bob Reynolds, Bowling Green (Cardinals); Don Estes, LSU (Cards); Bob Jencks, Miami of Ohio (Chicago Bears); Ray Mansfield, Washington (Philadelphia Eagle), Lou Slaby, Pitt (New York Giants), and Larry Glueck, Villanova (Bears). The AFL has conceded Don Brumm of Purdue to the Cards and Tom Brown of Maryland to* the Packers*. AFL (6) — Behrman; Budde; Jim Dunaway, Mississippi (Bills) ; Tom Nomina, Miami of Ohio (Denver Broncos); Danny Brabham, Arkansas (Houston Oilers), and Rufus Guthrie, Georgia Tech (San Diego Chargers).

ward suddenly with drawn revolvers Monday and took SIOB,OOO at Tropical Park racetrack. While stunned workers gaped, the men rushed a cashier and guard, snatched two cotton bags containing the loot, then pushed their victims into a closet behind a cigar stand, locked it and escaped through a parking lot. Police said the men got about SBO,OOO in unmarked bills from the day’s handle of $969,894, around $25,000 in checks and
$3,500 in cashed-in tote tickets. The track said the loss was insured. Detective David Helman called the robbery “professional, well planned and well executed.” The police pickup order was for two unidentified “white Americans’’ dressed in olive workmen’s clothes, one of them wearing a cap and the other with a tool belt strapped around his waist, like a track maintenance man. Helman said the men struck

' about 6:15 pjn., EST, which would have been 59 minutes after the ninth and last race west off and sometime after the last of the day's 9,976 patrons had straggled from the track. The bandits apparently knew, Helman said, that a cashier and guard took the same route every day in picking up receipts from the plush Turf Club on the third floor of the Tropical clubhouse, the preserve of horse owners and big bettors.
