Pass thefts proved the undoing of Anderson's Ravens in their bid for a first NAIA football championship here yesterday and allowed Westminister (Pa.) to win the big trophy, 21-16. Mistakes in the first half proved costly to Anderson as a pass interception by Ken Fas- Indiana Severs K-State String Manhattan, Kan.

Trailing, 38-34, at halftime, Kansas State moved into contention early in the second half with forward Bob Zender scoring two quick baskets and the Wildcats closing the gap to 42-40. But then McGinnis went to work. He got three driving lay-ins, one a three-point play, and the Hoosiers were off and running. The former ptep All-American finished with 26 points and pulled down 10 rebounds despite sitting out more than 7 minutes of the second half with four personal fouls. THE HOOSIERS used the first-half scoring of McGinnis and guard Bubbles Harris and the rebounding of Downing to Turn to Page 2, Column 6 Shepherd's fantastic performance came with 19 of 32 field goal shooting and 11 of 12 from the free throw line.

Shepherd broke the previous high Butler individual mark of 42 points he set last year against DePauw. His 19 field goals tied Ralph (Buckshot) O'Brien's Butler record set in 1949 and tied a Bear Down Gym mark. HIS TOTAL was the most ever scored against a Wildcat team. Arizona placed seven of eight men who played in double figures. They out-rebounded Butler, 65-28, as Speedway's rugged forward Dave Bennett missed his third straight game with a back injury.

Eddie Myers, the Wildcats' 6-11 pivot man, dropped in 22 points and 6-8 Bruce Anderson the 50 and Joe Veres scored from the 1 just 10 plays later. Anderson tried to retaliate late in the first period and drove just inside Westminister territory. Then the Ravens surged to a first down on the Westminister 19. DON GRIMM, Westminister defensive back, intercepted a pass on the goal line and ran it out to the 18. In 12 plays the eastern club was on the board again as Dave Milliron caught a 17-yard pass from Dave Bier-bach.

Anderson sagged a bit after that and the next time Westminister got the ball moved 60 yards for a third TD (one that proved to be the clincher) as Milliron hauled in a 15-yard arial from Bierbach. John Ebersberger kicked the third of his extra points and that was all the coal-mining area grid-ders needed for the day. Anderson tried to get going again in the third period but again a pass theft just inside Westminster territory 'stopped a drive. And it wasn't until 7:50 remained in the game that the Ravens finally got on the board. Anderson tallied when Warren Ferguson took a 3-yard jump pass from Manley for the six-pointer and Neil Rector caught another aerial for the 2 extra points.

It was the second straight victory for the Wisconsin Badgers in as many games and their second straight 100-point showing. The visiting Huskies were in contention early in the game, but Sherrod, a senior guard, broke a 15-15 tie with two quick baskets. Then Howard and Gary Watson, both sophomores, added fuel to the fire and the Badgers ran away to a 56-40 halftime lead. Mich.

He floated a pass to Jerry Marion from 6 yards out. Les Perry added the first of four extra points. Following the kickoff, Long Island used one of the Chicago Bears' special plays. Faucette pulled back from center Carl Simmons just as the ball was snapped and when the ball finally came down some 20 yards behind the line of scrimmage, Marks gracefully scooped it up and hustled into the end zone.

Phillips scored the first Long-horn touchdown from 7 yards out. Happy Feller contributed six extra points to finish up with an NCAA career record of 128 kicking points. Arkansas' lone points came in the second period during i brief second quarter rally when Jon Richardson swept 12 yards. Phillips directed Texas on drives of 76, 83, 99, 46 and 60 yards before turning over the club to second stringer Donnie Wigginton. Wigginton immediately guided a 48-yard scoring thrust.

The Texas ground game was so potent that Phillips went to the air only three times and completed two of those passes. Both of the completions were instrumental two of Texas first-half touchdown drives. ARKANSAS, showing none of the i a 1 spirit which marked its efforts in last year 15-14 loss to Texas, was a victim of its own blunders all afternoon. Bill Montgomery, the Arkansas quarterback who was finishing his 1 1 career, threw three interceptions. Except for Arkansas' brief flurry early in the second quarter, Texas' domination of the game was astounding.

Arkansas' only moment of glory came after Texas had built a 14-0 lead. The Razor-backs had not gained a first down in the first period, but then rebounded on Montgomery's arm to sweep down field and score on Richardson's 12-yard run. That set the stage for perhaps the key series of the game. The second half was such a one-sided affair that Arkansas wound up gaining only 165 yards all day 145 of them in the air and a paltry 20 on the ground.

The Boilermakers were hurting at forward the last 10 minutes of the second half and in the overtime. Starter Bob Ford and reserve Jovan Price fouled out within 40 seconds of each other. Weatherford played forward part of the time to fill the gap. It was a see-saw affair all the way with the lead changing hands 19 times and the score knotted on nine occasions.

The Boilermakers cracked open the bruising first half, tossing in four consecutive shots in 90 seconds without a return from the startled Hurricanes.

Attendance: Riveters Lose Overtime Game By SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT Tulsa Tulsa's Hurricanes cashed in a pair of one-and-one free throw situations in the last 1:32 of overtime yesterday to slam visiting Purdue 100-98 in an exciting tension-packed college basketball thriller. free throws as Notre Dame continually fouled him on the dribble. BOTH CLUBS went into the battle with 1-0 and South Carolina kept going despite being outscored from the floor 35-28. The difference came at the free stripe where Carolina put in 29 of 37 tries against 12 of 16 for the Irish. When Roche wasn't being fouled the sky-scraping Gamecock front line of Tom Owens and Tom Riker, both 6-10, and John Ribock, 6-8, were taking a heavy toll.

Ribock had only three points in a part-time performance but Riker collected 22 and Owens 15. They benefitted greatly from the sharp passes of Roche who notched nine assists in his route-going performance. Guard Kevin Joyce added 13 points, hitting three Clot Removed, Mackey 'Fair'' Lafayette, Ind. (UPI) -Guy (Red) Mackey, Purdue University athletic director, was listed in fair condition yesterday in St. Elizabeth Hospital following surgery Friday night for removal of a blood clot in his right leg.

Physicians said the clot was not associated with a stroke Mackey suffered in October. He had been home recuperating from the stroke when the clot developed. Mackey has been on the Purdue athletic staff since he graduated from the school in 1929. eiiK 1 By MAX STULTZ Star Sportswriter South Bend, Ind. South Carolina and Ail-American John Roche bested Notre Dame and Ail-American Austin Carr, 85-82, last night in a college basketball battle matching two of the nation's powerhouse quintets.

Roche, floor general and gunner supreme of the No. 2-ranked Gamecocks, fired 32 points half of them on free throws without missing which was good for game honors and a five-point edge over the Irish's irrepressible Carr. FORCED TO SIT out nearly four minutes of the opening half because of three fouls, the deadly Notre Dame guard came back after intermission to nail 21 and finished with 27. Racing to a 45-35 halftime lead over the fifth-rated Irish, South Carolina blew its entire margin before Roche shut the door with a rare four-point play. The Irish had evened it 58-58 then dropped back to 64-62 when Roche polished them off with 7:20 to go.

The slick 6-3 backcourt operator meshed a 20-foot jumper and was fouled after the shot by Doug Gem-mell. South Carolina was in the one-and-one by that time and Roche sank both chances for a 68-62 bulge. Sinnott's fielder later yanked the Irish to 69-66 but Roche resumed command to tally 12 of Carolina's last 16 points. He poked two from the court and added eight straight Ih I IsuMl. It wasn't easy for the Hoosiers, though, as Kansas State wouldn't go down to defeat graciously.

It took a second-half surge by I.U.'s super sophomore George McGinnis to end K-State's hopes for a second straight non-conference victory. Leading, 42-40, early in the second 20 minutes, McGinnis, the '6-7 forward from Indianapolis Washington, rammed in seven straight points to put the Hoosiers ahead, 49-40. Kansas State, stifled all night by Indiana's 2-3 zone defense, wasn't able to recover. KANSAS STATE did manage to cut I.U.'s lead to four points four times in the second half, but each time the Hoosiers were able to come up with the key basket. Even with McGinnis in foul trouble and on the bench, the Hoosiers CLOSE SEASON Caps By ROBIN MILLER Ed Roseborough played only the first half yesterday and tiiat is why the Indianapolis Capitols only beat the Long Island Bulls, 28-14.

Bracey hit one and the bonus with 92 seconds left to give the Hurricanes a four-point advantage. Clesson dropped the clinchers with 16 ticks to go after Larry Weatherford sent home a bomb that would have been a three-point shot in the ABA. PURDUE HAD only time to watch George Faerber muscle in a shot from underneath for the Boilermakers' 97th and 98th points before it was all over. Purdue had a five-point load with 2:36 to play in regulation but Tulsa spun off seven consecutive points, capped by Clesson's jumper that gave the Hurricanes an 88-86 lead with on the clock.

Purdue wound up with the ball after both clubs failed on opportunities and Weatherford set up the overtime with a driving layup at :21. Tulsa's last shot was a desperation effort from 40 feet that wasn't close. While the little guards got most of the back-slapping from the jubilant crowd of 5,250, without 6-10 junior center Dana Lewis getting key buckets throughout the 45 minutes of play, the celebration 1 have been held in the Purdue locker room.
