Finley Calls League Hand On Ultimatum . KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI) — Charles O. Finley, the angry owner of the Kansas City Athletics, called the American League’s hand today on the ultimatum it dealt him exactly four weeks ago. By failing to agree with the city Wednesday on terms of a new lease for Municipal Stadium, Finley defied the league’s order of Jan. 16 for him either to sign a lease h&e by Saturday or face expulsion from baseball. So, unless either the city or Finley unexpectedly yields in the stalemate over a two-year / or a four-year lease, the nine other owners who make up the league’s membership have only two courses of action. They can: —Either take steps to kick Finley out of baseball and deprive him of ownership of the Athletics. —Or back down from their initial, unanimous stand and let him transfer the franchise. No matter which alternative they choose, they face a battle in court. e * When the league issued its directive on the lease, Finley said no one had the power to take the Athletics away from him. He said he would fight any attempt to do so. He continually has repeated that threat. Both sides made it clear Wednesday that they would not yield on their demands. H. S.

Upsets Scored By New York U. r Georgia Tech UH Sports Writer So what if the Beatles have taken New York? NYU earned the city an even split by taking the Tar Heels Wednesday night. It was a hair-raiser all the way— no pun intended — with unpredictable New York University coming on stronger at the end than those four British boys to clip North Carolina, 69-68, at Madison Square ' Garden. Back-to-back baskets by Carl- * ton Rooks and Stan McKenzie just before the final buzzer brought about the Tar Heels’ downfall and ruined their wellintentioned plan to win the ball game for their star center. North Carolina partcuiarly wanted to win for Billy Cunningham, a Brooklyn boy making his first Garden appearance as a collegian. He did his part by scoring 23 points before fouling out midway in the second half. Georgia Tgch occasioned the biggest surprise of the night by toppling seventh-ranked Vanderbilt, 75-71, in overtime at Atlanta. Craddock Injured R. D. Craddock, high scorer for ttie winners with 20 points, was helped from the court after suffering a head injury with 1’35 left in regulation time. Roger Schurig led Vandy with 22 points. Georgia Tech moved into a first place tie with Kentucky in the Southeastern Conference race by winning and to show you how tough things are in that circuit, Vanderbilt, which ranks seventh nationally, is only fourth in the SEC. That same old Jone; boy, Wally Jones, ignored a sore hip and tossed in 22 points for Villanova’s ninth-ranked Wildcats in a 73-63 triumph over determined Duquesne. Jones, a doubtful starter until game time, came off the bench with a protective pad over his sore hip. It didn’t bother his performance much, however, as he paced the Wildcats to their 20th victory in 22 games. The loss was Duquesne’s first in eight games. Ron Willard had 27 points for the losers and Willie Somerset 15. WVU Downs Pitt West Virginia made good on eight foul shots in the final minutes for an 86-84 win over Pittsburgh. Play was what you might call a bit heated with a total of 68 fouls called, resulting in four of Pitt’s five starters fouling out and two of West Virginia’s first five. Bill Maphis led the Mountaineers with 22 points and 16 rebounds. Jesse Nash his for two baskets in the last 55 seconds to earn DePaul a 72-69 triumph over Marquette and Seton Hall downed LaSalle, 75-68, with Nick Werkman scoring 37 points for the Pirates. In other games, Bob Leonard poured in 24 points to help Wake Forest defeat Virginia Tech, 85-82; Evansville downed DePau w, 103-78; Syracuse bowled over Fordham, 89-59; Army ripped Rutgers, 84-48; Penn State beat Carnegie Tech, 76-51; Lafayette defeated Lehigh, 71-58; Georgetown nipped George Washington, 83-81; Dayton topped Detroit, 90-84; Indiana State subdued Valpariso, 97-76, and the Air Force Academy downed St. Michaels (N.M.), 95-56. Notre Dame Star Is Declared Ineligible SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UPI) — Forward Ron Reed of LaPorte, one of Notre Dame’s top basketball stars, has been declared scholastically ineligible for the remainder of the season. Coach Johnny Jordan planned to move 6-9 Walt Sahm from center to forward, with 6-8 Larry Jesewitz replacing Sahm in the pivot. Pro Football Boston 104, Los Angeles 97 (overtime).

(UPI) — Don January, who has trouble winning other places, goes out today in an attempt to capture the Tucson Open golf crown for the third time. But January, 34, is still one of the hottest men on the 1964 pro tour. He has collected sll, 331.03 in the first six weeks of play. He tied for the championship of the Lucky International in San Francisco and lost the play-off to Chi Chi Rodriguez. The tall Texan ran away from the field on this Forty Niner Country Club course last year, winning by 11 strokes. “I just happen to like the course and I like the greens,’’ he explains. “For some reason I have a lot of confidence round here.” Despite his fine play here, January isn’t the favorite. That mantle falls on South Africa’s little Gary Player, the health faddist, who finished in a tie for third last week at Phoenix. Player, who has won the British and Australian Opens, the United States PGA and Masters, among other titles, played beautiful golf in his first outing of the year at Phoenix. This isn’t the strongest field in the world. In fact, it seems to be fashioned for non-win-ners. None of the men who won the first six tourneys this year has entered. That eliminates Paul Harney, Art Wall, Tony Lerna, Juan Rodriguez, Tommy Jacobs and Jack Nicklaus. Arnold Palmer isn’t playing here either. Most of the pros are taking a couple of weeks rest after the . strenuous first six weeks of the tour. Others, such as Gene Littler and British Open champion Bob Charles, are skipping this one so that they can play in Manila next week.
