Ralph Virginia's prize 7-foot-4 freshman basketball star, said yesterday he will stay in college and not leave school for the National Basketball Association. "-And while Virginia coach Terry Holland said he would not be surprised to see Sampson remain at Virginia for four years, an angry Boston Celtics general manager Red Auer-bach said he would still try to get Sampson to declare his pro intentions by April 25, the NBA deadline for such decisions. Sampson announced his decision in a statement through the Virginia sports information Office. The Harrisonburg, native said he was "flattered that the Boston Celtics were interested in drafting me. They have a great tradition and are obviously one of the best teams in the NBA." When told of Sampson's decision, Auerbach said "It's irrational for him to give up all this Nashville Temperatures U.S.

And last night in the semifinals of the Southeastern AAU boxing tournament, a baker's dozen of full-scale "spar wars" were staged. More are expected here tonight at 7:30 when the finals of the event get underway. Seven Nashville boxers advanced to tonight's finals via several different routes. Johnny Bumphus earned a walkover victory last night when Knoxville opponent Derrick Coker backed out of the bout. James Spears and Anthony Bryant both won by retirements while Tim Miller and Billy Ray Collins both posted unanimous decision victories to earn their respective berths in tonight's final action.

Chester Peterson won on a split decision. One other NashviAian, Randy King, had an automatic berth into the finals due to a lack of entrants in his 112-pound weight category. The Nashvillians are joined in the finals by a score of boxers from Alabama, a trio of Knox-villians and several West Tennesseans. Of the winners from Nashville last night, young Collins, a 17-year-old Antioch student, had probably the toughest time. Collins and Chattanoogan Terry Jones staged an old-fashioned slugfest for three rounds, and between the two, they landed more explosive bombs than the Japanese did at Pearl Harbor.

"I went to school all day and didn't get much rest," Collins explained afterwards. He'll meet Bryant, an easy winner over wild-swinging George Watkins last night, in tonight's 147-pound finals the only all-Nashville finals match-up. "Collins is a good fighter and we're both hard punchers.

Tabler 2. Dayett. Balboni. By ED CROMER The U.S. attorney's office is investigating car and truck purchases by the city of Smyrna, whose mayor Sam Ridley, heads the dealership that services city vehicles, it was learned yesterday.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe B. Brown has subpoenaed all Smyrna records pertaining to bid invitations, bid proposals, sales invoices, canceled checks and contracts from Oct. 1, 1979, to March 31, 1980. The subpoena asks specifically for documents involving Capitol Chevrolet and Jim Reed Chevrolet in Nashville, Ridley Chevrolet in Smyrna, and the defunct Rutherford County dealership College Heights Motors.

"I HAVE NO idea what they're investigating," Ridley said yesterday. "I don't know of anv irregularities, but we are very glad to cooperate with the United States attorney's office." The mayor, who will be running for re-election next year, said he believes "political people'fin Smyrna who want to see nim defeated initiated the probe. The documents will be presented to a federal grand jury in Nashville April 24, according to the subpoena served on Smyrna City Cleric Michael Woods. SUBPOENAS HAVE also been the finals that he did tonight, I'm gonna catch him," the 16-year-old Bryant said. A crowd estimated at 350 saw two Nashvillians go down to defeat in last night's semis.

Michael Bowers dropped a split decision to Knoxvillian Dale Wilburn and Tommy Deardorff was knocked out in the first round by Cecil Coffee of Knoxville. Perhaps the most disappointed boxer of the night, though, was the nation's top-ranked 139-pounder from Nashville, Bumphus. "It's awful frustrating when you train hard, get yourself up for a fight and then find there's no opponent. Hopefully, I'll get to fight in the finals, Bumphus, a winner of five international bouts this year, added. He's slated to meet Walter Webster of Alabama tonight.

Tonight's winners will return to Franklin next weekend for the AAU Region 8 tournament to see who goes on to the AAU nationals in Las Vegas next month. Last night's results: 106-Tim Miller (Nash) d.

Hale Captures Crown In Dogwood Decathlon From STAFF, WIRE REPORTS KNOXVILLE Tony Hale, a former Fisk University track star now with the Orlando, Athletic Attic, won the 14th annual Dogwood Relays' decathlon here yesterday, finishing the two-day event with 7,299 points. Tennessee's Steve Poe was second (6,995) and Karl Burroughs of Alabama third John Mascoll, a Fisk senior, captured sixth place with 6,707 points. Hale also won this prestigious decathlon in 1976 and 1977, when he was a student at Fisk. Three records fell in the Dogwood Relays track and field competition yesterday.

Darrell Sargent of Miami of Ohio broke two when he zipped through the 800-meter run in 1:47.0. Sargent clipped the meet record of 1 47.4 set by Jack Mclntosn of Western Michigan in 1979 and the University of Tennessee's Tom Black Track record of 1:47.2 set by Tony Waldrop of North Carolina in 1972. The meet record also fell in the women's 100-meter hurdles when Benita Fitzgerald of Tennessee cleared the course in 13.45 seconds. Lori Dinello of the West Suburban Track Club established the old record of 13.50 seconds in 1977. Margaret Groos, an ex-Harpeth Hall star now with the University of Virginia, finished third in the run, an event won by Brenda Webb of the Knoxville Track Club with a time of 9:03.46.

Competition concludes today in the track and field contest. Jimmy Washington, an ex-MTSU star competing for the Houston Athletic Club, won the triple jump, with a leap of 16.24 meters. Dahl, Pena. DP-Nashville, Columbus. LOB-Naihville 4, Charlotte 5.

Ridley said last month Ithfe transfers did not benefit his dealeiv ship and were merely a routine procedure which saved the other dealers the time and trouble it would have taken to order the vehicles directly from General Motors." "Transfers are common among automobile dealers," Ridley reir terated yesterday. "I'd sarwe transfer 30 cars a month. But if they want those records, they are available." EFFORTS TO REACH Brown yesterday were unsuccessful.

Although the subpoena served on Woods did not specifically mention purchases from Jackson Brothers; the clerk has informed Brown by telephone of the city's dealings witn the company and will include those records with the other documents, Ridley said. Jim Jackson, head of Jackson Brothers, said yesterday his dealer; ship has received a subpeona for records of its transactions with Smy rna. He said he had no idea what -the investigation is about. "I'M HAVING OUR bookkefipGE work all that up," Jackson "We're going to send it in."

He never saw the ball land. He didn't have to see it to know the results of his effort. THE HUGE gallery roared and thundered approval. The Ball had stopped on the 17th green, approximately 15 feet from the cup. Ballesteros, who scored a birdie from the parking lot during last summer's British Open, knocked in the putt for a birdie.

"Eet was a beeg hook on the drive and beeg, beeg putt on the green. In between? Well, eet break the monotony when I go visit the seventh green," said Ballesteros, a 23-year-old Spaniard. All the activity at the seventh wasn't pleasant, however. Take the case of Jerry Pate, the one-time University of Alabama ace who won the 1976 U.S. Open in Atlanta.

Hoping to nuzzle a pitching wedge shot just over one of the bunkers guarding the front of the green, Pate's shot wound up in the Cash Payments Told TUCSON Two unidentified former University of Arizona football players were quoted yesterday in the Tucson Citizen as saying ithey got cash from Tony Mason, former head Jcoach, when they needed it to pay bills. It was the second such report in two days and comes in the wake of Mason's resignation under the pressure of previous allegations concerning financial irregularities in jthe football program. The newspaper quoted the former players Jas saying it was relatively easy for them and pother players to get money from Mason. Both -players said they were starters on the "It was well understood that if you needed something bad and you could prove it with a couple of bills with past-due dates, you could it from the coach," one player was quoted saying.

"I'm very satisfied and very "pleased with what has happened. It's a big off my shoulders." Reds president Dick Wagner disclosed that he had teen considering trading Griffey as as Wednesday because he feared Griffey take a hike on us" as a free agent after season."

I remember one very recently," Powell said. "I'VE NEVER HAD any dealings' with Sam, just the city," he added. He said he felt one of Ridley's Solitical foes was behind the inves-gation and trying to create unfavorable publicity for the mayor.

"I guess they want to match the bids we sent with the money we got," Powell said. "I sure hope they match up. I'd hate for Sam to get on the front page on account of me." Ridley, who serves as president of Ridley Chevrolet, said he is not sure what the Smyrna dealership can submit to the U.S. attorney's office, since "we don't have anything that they asked for." "RIDLEY Chevrolet has never sold a car to the city of Smyrna," the mayor said. "But all of our records are available."
