DePauw Tigers leave for Holiday Tournament

DePauw University’s basketball Tigers reassembled in Greencastle today and flew off to Worcester, Mass., where they’ll be the lone Midwestern entry in the eight-team Worcester Jaycee Holiday Festival. The Tigers have drawn oncebeaten Amherst College in the tourney’s opening game Friday afternoon at 2 p.m. Clark University will face MIT at 4 p.m. McCormick is 6th. in scoring Tom McCormick, DePauw forward, is the sixth leading scorer in the nation, according to statistics released today for College Division players. The 6-5 Dayton sharpshooter had 153 points in his first five games for sixth in total points, and he ranks 28th in the nation in scoring averages with a 25.5 mark. In the free throw shooting department, DePauw, as a team, ranks fifth in the nation with a .783 average.

in the other afternoon affair. Friday night 5-1 Assumption College will face 4-1 Springfield College at 7 p.m. and Worcester Poly Tech collides with C.W. Post of New York at 9 p.m. In action Saturday afternoon the losers of the first two games will play at 2 and the loser of Friday night’s games will play at 4 p.m. DePauw is hopeful it will fly past Amherst and take on the MIT-Clark winner at 7 p.m. Friday night. Should the Tigers be successful in either one of their first two tests they’ll play again Sunday either at 5 p.m. for fifth place, at 7 p.m. for third place or at 9 p.m. Sunday night for the championship. Coach Elmer McCall was understandably upset by DePauw’s 86-80 loss at Indiana Central

By United Press International Five of the nation’s topranked teams, including unbeaten Santa Clara and Wyoming, will see action Thursday night in the opening rounds of six tournaments which mark the start of college basketball’s annual Christmas week tournament schedule. No fewer than 10 other tournaments, not classified as major, also will start Thursday night. Twenty-two major tournaments and 27 others of lesser classifications, will begin Friday when the tournament “madness” reaches its peak. Santa Clara, the country’s sixth-ranked team and unbeaten in six games, is competing in the Rainbow Classic in Honolulu. The Broncos are favorites but are faced by a strong field which includes Purdue, Arizona, Columbia, Hawaii, Stanford, West Virginia and the U.S. Marine Base.

NEW YORK (UPI)—Joe Namath isn’t trying to kid himself or anybody else. He isn’t trying to wisecrack his way around it or give out with any of that la-de-da about Sunday’s contest being just another game. He knows it is THE game of his football life'. He knows this is the farthest he has ever brought the once-bedraggled, once-laughed at New York Jets. He also knows if they aren’t able to beat the Oakland Raiders at Shea Stadium Sunday, there’ll be no AFL title, no Super Bowl, no tomorrow, no nothing. “I always wanted to be part of a champion team,” Namath said thoughtfully, sitting in front of his locker and putting on his corduroy pants and brown suede shoes after a workout in the biting, windy cold. “This is something all of us here want to achieve. It means more to me than anything else I can think of. We can be the best in the AFL. Maybe, the best in the world.” Raiders Rough on Quarterbacks The Raiders have a history of being especially rough on quarterbacks, on Namath in particular. He’s aware of that history, but isn’t letting it ruin his Christmas. “Look, they are gonna try and hit the quarterback as hard as they can,” he said. “They can’t hit me any harder than they hit any other quarterback. They can only hit so much before the whistle blows. If they do something wrong after the whistle, that’s 15 yards for us. I’ll take it anytime.” Roughest of all on Namath in the past has been big Ben Davidson, Oakland’s not-so-jolly, 6-foot-7, 280-pound giant defensive end with the handle-bar moustache. Davidson has shaken up Namath more than once and the Jet quarterback has suggested that the Raider end put a little too much enthusiasm into his work on occasion. Namath isn’t letting that bother him now, thougji. “I wouldn’t say I love the guy,” he said, referring to Davidson, “but, for that matter, I don’t like any of the opposing players on the football field. How can you like any guy fixing to hit you? I don’t blame Davidson. If I were him, I’d try hit the other quarterback as hard as I could. That’s the name of the game.” Weeb Ewbank, the Jets’ coach, came by as Namath

Thursday night. It spoiled a seven-day Christmas break and it knocked the Tigers to a mediocre 3-4 record as they head into the Worcester tourney which contains three of last year’s NCAA College Division selections— Assumption, Springfield and DePauw. Amherst opened its season with a six-point loss to Dartmouth. It has since defeated Bowdoin, Brandeis, Middlebury and Hartford State. The Jeffs have a front line of 6-6, 6-5, 6-4, and guards 6-1 and 5-11. Amherst had a 12-8 season last year. When DePauw returns from the tourney it will host Valparaiso at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, January 2. Admission will not be charged for the game which will be DePauw’s first conference match.

Wyoming, which is 7-0 and ranked No. 14 nationally, and St. Bonaventure, 5-1 and No. 13 nationally, are the highest-rated teams in the All-College tournament at Oklahoma City. Also competing in the All-College Tournament are Duquesne, Louisiana State, Oklahoma City, Pacific, Texas A&M and Tulane. Other Tournaments The other major tournaments starting Thursday night are: — Big Eight at Kansas City, Mo.: Kansas, with a 7-1 record and tied for the No. 8 ranking nationally, is favored in a good field which also has Colorado, Iowa State, Kansas State, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. — Far West Classic at Portland, Ore: Competing teams are all unranked—Arizona State, Brigham Young, California, Oregon, Oregon State, Syracuse, Washington State and Yale.

talked. Without interrupting, the 60.year.old coach put his arm on the shoulder of his 25-year-old quarterback the same affectionate way a father might do with his son. The whole thing took less than 15-seconds after which Ewbank moved on, but Namath didn’t miss catching the gesture. Weeb Worked Hard “Our coach really taught me something about work this year,” Namath said later on. ‘‘I never saw anybody work harder. He worked his back off. I thought it was the most incredible thing I ever saw for a man his age. He’d get up at 6 in the morning and keep going until late at night. He really taught me something about

work.”

In his private office, Ewbank spoke of what Namath had taught him. “You have to be with him to appreciate the guts he has,” Ewbank said while sitting behind his desk. “The only drawback the man has is his wheels. I’ve seen his legs hurt so much he cringed. But, he’ll never ask out. I remember a guy coming over to me and wanting to write something about him,” Ewbank continued. 'It looks like Namath is a privileged character,’ this fellow said. ‘He’s the last one out and he doesn’t take that lap around the field like all the

others.’

“I told the guy I was glad he spoke to me before he wrote his story. Namath is the last one out because it takes that long to put the brace on his knee, I told him. And he’s not supposed to do that lap everyone else does. We don’t want him to. “Believe me, he gets no special treatment around here. We have a system whereby if anybody is late he pays $25. That goes no matter who he is and no matter what the reason. Anytime Joe is late, he’ll come right over and call right out, ‘Joe Namath, twenty-five dol-

lars!”

Fans to be admitted without charge Basketball fans in Putnam County and surrounding areas will be admitted free to DePauw University’s January 2 basketbail game here with Valparaiso University. Athletic Director Dr. James Loveless said approximately 2,000 free seats will be available for the game since DePauw’s students will be on vacation at the time. Persons, schools or groups wishing tickets may get them in advance by calling at the Athletic office in Bowman Gymnasium or by simply asking for them at the door the night of the game. The 7:30 p.m. contest will start DePauw’s defense of the Indiana Collegiate Conference basketball championship.

— Gator Bowl at Jacksonville, Fla.: Boston College, Florida, Georgia and Northwestern all seek national stature. — East Carolina Classic at Greenville, N.C.: Air Force, Baylor, Cornell, Delayare, East Carolina, Virginia, Virginia Tech and William and Mary are unlikely to affect national rankings but somebody will take home a gleaming winner’s trophy. The Big One The most prestigious of all the tournaments this year, however, will be the 17th annual EC AC Holiday Basketball Festival starting in New York Friday. Three of the nation’s top five teams—first.ranked UCLA, se-cond-ranked North Carolina and fifth-ranked Villanova — are competing in the ECAC along with a fourth unbeaten team, Holy Cross (3-0), and Michigan State (4-2), Princeton (3-3), Providence (4-2) and St. John's (6-1). UCLA, featuring 7-2 Lew Alcindor, is a heavy favorite to win the tournament and solidify its No. 1 ranking but there could be surprises in a field with so many sound and experienced teams. Davidson, the nation’s No. 3 team, is in the Charlotte Invitational at Charlotte, N.C., along with Maryland, Texas and Wichita State. Golf classic returnsto CBS “CBS Golf Classic” returns Jan. 11 for a sixth season. Top golfers will play in 18-hole elimination matches each Saturday through April 12, with the 36-hole finals scheduled for April 19 and 26. * * * NBA standings By United Press International
