Streak iByMaxStultz By DAVE OVERPECK, Star Sportswriter Oakland The Indiana Pacers saw their 13-game winning streak ended and lost a chance to wrap up the American Basketball Association's Eastern Division championship as they dropped a 122-110 tilt to the Oakland Oaks. in the second quarter, but the Oaks held a 65-59 margin at the break and led by as many as 16 in the second half. Two Oaks guards were hurt. Bradds crashed into Henry Logan in the second quarter, sending Logan to the hospital with a possible concussion.

Felix got credit for a single, and Brooks kept his job.

So any all-star basketball game in which the skyscraping New Yorker declines to play must suffer because of his 7-2 absence.

Nevertheless, the National Association, of Basketball Coaches is going to put on a pretty fancy show tomorrow afternoon Hinkle Fieldhouse. The occasion is the NABC's seventh annual College AI1-Star extravaganza featuring 20 of the best seniors coast-to-eoast Last March with the help of The Indianapolis Star the NABC brought its attraction to Indianapolis for the first Things were a bit different. Because it was an Olympic year and tryouts were conducted simultaneously, underclassmen, were permitted to compete. The result was that Rick Mount, hitting 24 points, led the West squad to a 95-88 victory over Pete Maravich and the East. A crowd of more than 14.000 was on hand.

After due consideration a 5-second look at all those occupied seats the cc-aches decided this was a pretty fair locality for the 1969 encore. The curtain goes up at 2 o'clock. 'Big Lew, refusing to take part in any post-season con-Jests, won't be on stage. But.coaches Tony Hinkle (East) and Branch McCracken (West) aren't exactly complaining over a hack of talent. fr Hinkle's club is better known in these parts simply because of geography.

Three of his players were Big Ten stars, one was a Kentucky high school standout, and another from Marquette filled the television screen in the Warriors' Mid-East Regional battle with Purdue. In running down the' East roster, you can start anywhere. But the best place is with the Boilermakers' Billy Keller. The great little backcourt man (5-10) yesterday was named first recipient of the Nalsmith-Hall of Fame award as the nation's outstanding eager of those 6-feet tall and under. If Keller were in there alone, the East would have enough speed to run many opponents into the ground.

But with the added presence of Boilermaker teammate 6-3 Herm Gilliam, Hinkle's contingent may just go ahead and fly. Lee Lafayette, Michigan State's 6-6 workhorse, also is well known to Hoosier fans. And they saw all they wanted of Marquette's George Thompson, a couple of weeks ago. The 6-2, 200-pounder who jumps like a jack rabbit on piano legs, nearly dug Purdue an early NCAA grave in the regional finale.

And after watching turn and held it. Andy Strenk of Southern Cal placed third more than five seconds back followed by defending champ Greg Charlton of USC, Stanford's Brent Berk and I.U.'s Fred Southward. Spitz's 4:33.2 time in the afternoon was nearly four seconds faster than the 4:37.0 American and NCAA record set by Stanford's Greg Buckingham in 1967 and tied by Mike Burton of UCLA last year. "I was more interested in winning than in the time," the 19-year-old Spitz said after last nights sizzler. felt if I stayed with him I could beat him but he swam one heckuva race.

He might have started a little too soon. I caught him with about five laps to go." Hickcox, defending champ and American recordholder in the 200-yard medley reversed a Big' JO upset against Michi gan's Juan Bello in the second final. Hickcox touched in 1:54.43 and Bello was just a fraction back with 1:54.53. Dan Frawley of Southern Cal whipped Big 10 champ Dan Milne of Purdue in the 50-yard freestyle, setting a :20.81 American record in the trials. It bettered the :20.9 old record by Yale's Steve Clark in 1964 and equalled last year by UCLA's Zac Zorn.

(UPI Telephoto) Despite the loss, the Pacers gained a tie for the title as Kentucky dropped a 137-106 tilt to New Orleans.

If Ken tucky and Miami lose one more game or the Pacers win their season finale at Ken tucky next Wednesday, the title belongs to Indiana. Last night's defeat was In diana's first since Feb. 22. It was also the Pacers sixth straight to the Oaks, and the only way they can lose any more is to meet Oakland in the championship playoff round. AS HAS BEEN the case against the Oaks right along, nothing went right for the racers last nignt.

unotnciaiiy, they hit just 44 of 120 efforts for a paltry .367. By contrast, the Oaks hit 48 of 99 for .485. Just as decisive as the shoot ing was the rebounding. The Oaks won it by a mile, 78-53. The results could have been much worse except the Oaks were charged with 35 errors, one short of the league rec ord.

Warren Armstrong and Gary Bradds were the big men for the Oaks with 26 and 25 points respectively. FREDDIE LEWIS led Indiana with 35. Roger Brown had 19 as did Mel Daniels while Bob Netolicky got 15 and Ron Perry 11.

New Gears Slow Calc Yarborough Hampton, Ga. (UP1) Cale Yarborough, close to David Pearson's pole-sitting speed in practice, had to settle for a lesser spot while setting the pace in yesterday's Atlanta 500 qualifying here at the Atlanta International Raceway. Yarborough, winner here the last two years, was clocked at 155.619 mph in practice, barely a mile off Pearson's record time Wednesday. But a change of gears before Yarborough's qualifying run slowed his time down to 154.727 mph and he had to settle for the No. 2 spot for Sunday's race.

Spitz and Fassnacht, two million dollar freshmen, who set a 4:33.2 American record in the afternoon trials, hooked up in one of the most exciting finals in 46 -year NCAA history. Spitz got the nod from the electronic timing device in 4:33.4, although both swimmers were clocked in the same time. It was almost a carbon copy of their stroke-ror-stroke trial when Spitz inched in front of the 1968 German Olympian by just a touch. Spitz, a triple world record-holder eligible for the NCAA meet through a recent Big 10 freshman rule change, set the early pace in the finals but he had to fight off Fassnacht in the last 150 yards. Fassnacht moved ahead briefly at 350 but Spitz regained the lead on the next Spitz, By BOB WILLIAMS Star Sportswriter Bloomington, Ind.

Mark Spitz and Charlie Hickcox, Coach Jim (Doc) Counsilman's gold dust twins from the 1968 Olympics, sent defending champ Indiana University off to a flying start in the NCAA swimming championships last night. Spitz, a 19-year-old freshman from Santa Clara, shattered the American 500-yard freestyle record in his first varsity appearance for the heavily-favored Hoosiers while shading Long Beach State's Hans Fassnacht. Hickcox, 22-year-old co-captain from Phoenix, became the first swimmer to win six NCAA Individual titles since Ohio State's Ford Kon-no (1952-55) by repeating in the 200-yard individual medley. Hickcox also will be de fending NCAA titles in both, backstrokes.

Walk, 6-10 and 235 pounds, led the nation's rebounders a year ago and is Florida's first Ail-American. Justus averaged 18 points for Tennessee and this Is significant because the Vols go at the game in two speeds-slow and slower.

Another outstanding teammate will be 6-7 Terry Driscoll of Boston College, runner-up in the National Invitation Tournament.

Ogden played in this game here last year as a member of the East.

The West also will suit up such people as 6-2 Harry Hall, Wyoming; 6-5 Bingo Smith, Tulsa, and 6-9 Jack Gillespie, Montana State. And before someone asks "who?" they would do well to recall that Weber State of Ogden, Utah, slipped unnoticed into Hinkle Fieldhouse a few months ago.
