Crockett rims 9.0 Sports Editor YEllMi KO ATX Eli A bunch of nobodies to snap 100 mar Bucks say seventh same anticlimactic Associated Press Associated KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -Ivory Crockett, spurred on by Tennessee sprint star Reggie Jones, broke the 11-year-old world record for the 100-yard dash Saturday night with a time of 9.0 seconds.

Crockett's time, at the Tom Black Classic Track Meet sponsored by the University of Tennessee, shaved a 10th of a second off the world standard of Bob Hayes, now a wide receiver with the Dallas Cowboys. Hayes set the record on June 21, 1963 in St. Louis when he was a student at Florida Hayes later equalled the time on three other occasions. "I thank God for letting me do my best," said Crockett, whose previous best time was 9.2. There was virtually no wind during the race on Tennessee's artificial track, which was slightly wet from a rain earlier in the day.

Jones, a freshman, finished second in the seven-man race with a clocking of 9 2. Meet officials had been expecting him to win the race. The meet was sanctioned ny luoorc Phoenix' Bob Moore, Dennis Aase, Los Angeles and Dick Shirey, San Francisco, posted fastest qualifying times in their classes Saturday in the Sport Sprint Car Doubleheader at FasTrack International Speedway.

socoexcooocooooK MILWAUKEE The championship of the National Basketball Association is on the line-but to Milwaukee's Cornell Warner, the showdown against Boston will be almost anticlimactic. "This game should have been the seventh game. It has got to be one of the best ever," the Bucks' forward said Friday night after Milwaukee forced today's seventh and decisive game in the championship series with a 102-101 double-overtime victory over the Celtics in what Warner and most other participants agreed was one of the most remarkable games ever played. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the Bucks' 7-foot-2 center and the NBA's Most Valuable Player, scored the winning points on an 18-foot running hook shot, culminating a broken play with three seconds left. The victory, witnessed by 15.100 emotionally drained fans in the Boston Garden and a national television audience, squared the best-of-seven series at 3-3.

Well, lot me tell the Phoimix fans and press this the way that team is now they couldn't make the league lor the New York city street hockey league for seven and eight-year-olds. The team has no top name stars to go into the WHA with. Phoenix fans shouldn't think that a bunch of minor league nobodies are going to perform as well in the WHA as they have the last two years in tfie WHL. If Phoenix plans to make it next year in the WHA it had belter get some real prws. We'll need forwards like Montreal's Frank Mahovolkjh and Boston's Phil Esposito.

On defense, we need players with pro names like Brad Park, Bobby Oir, Bill White raid J. C. Trembiav. We also could use a goalie like. Geny Cheevers, Ed Giacomin or Rogie Vachon.

TIM BALDY While you're dreanlng, Tim, I could use a million bucks, too. Everybody had to start from scratch once, even the Philly Bully Boys. Dear Sir: Perhaps it would be helpful to you to know that for one, did not mind driving 25 miles to see an exhibition game in Tampa even though the Dolphins were playing in Miami or elsewhere in the States. But I would not tackle a much shorter drive from Sun City to Tempo to see any game, even if I were given free tickets the route, the traffic, the parking. J.

NAGY Sun City To ach his own. But vry tim I attnd an out-of-town sporting event maks me apprciatc more the ease with which you can get to and from Arizona Slate games. Dear Sir: there has been considerable talk of bringing a World Football League team here. But let's be realistic. The first game of the new league is to start sometime in mid-July and go until November.

Who in their right mind is going to wmt to watch pro football in Phoenix when the temperature Jiangs around the 100 degree mark, even at 8 p.m.? Where is the team going to practice in Prescott? How many rJayers and fans alike are going to puss out because of heat prostration? The Blazers tried it on a minor league scale and taking into account all their problems the fact remains that it is very hut here in the summer and fcutball is not a summer game. RAY BYKE I can't disagree on a single point, Ray. Even in the NFL, all exhibitions would have to be played on road, and perhaps even the first couple of league games. Dear Sir; Flushod from Arizona's mighty victory over Arizona State Friday night, I had to rush this hot little letter to you. As long-suffering UofA supporter, I wish to make one thing perfectly clear the worm has turned in this state.

First, the Wildcat basketball team lays it to the Sun Devils- Now, the baseball team ends ASU's dynasty in humiliating fashion. And come next November, the 'Cats are going to run up one of those lopsided scores that Kush's mercenaries are so fond of administering. How sweet it is! NAN LOWE There's nothing I admire more than a gracious winner. Associated Press Press by the National Collegiate Athletic Association and Stan Huntsman, Tennessee track coach, said Crockett's time would be submitted as a world record to the American Track and Field Federation. The four judges of the event timed Crockett at 9.0, 9.0, 9.1 and 8.9, averaging 9.0.

"All the way through the race I felt the best that I've ever felt," the slightly built Crockett said. "This is a very good track." Crockett is a graduate of Southern Illinois and ran track for the Salukis. Crockett, now a computer firm marketing representative who lives at Peo'ia, 111., represented the Philadelphia Pioneers Club, one of several amaieur track teams competing in the meet. The 5-foot-7 Crockett, a 150-pounder, is a native of Hall, Tenn. He won in 1969; and 1970 Amateur Athletic Union ICO-yard titles, each in 9.3.

His best showing in the National Collegiate Athletic Association championships was a fourth-place finish in In the feature race, An cient Title raced second until the final turn, then battled head and head with 10-1 longsliot Woodland Pines before ckeing out a neck victory, running seven furlongs in 1:20 2-5. Ancient Title, carrying Laf-fit Pincay bore 126 pounds, high weight, and paid $6, $.180 and $2.80. Woodland Pines paid $7.60 and $4.40 and Soft Victory paid $2.80 to show. Patrol judge R. J.

McRob-erts, after viewing race films, said. "Linda's Chief broke alertly and was racing for the lead when suddenly he propped, unseating his jockey. Linda's Chief, however, continued on for three or four more strides and then attempted to jump the inside fence." The son of Chieftain-Dream Path slid along the protective railing before coming to rest on the dirt area below the race track. Dukes, LA swap men SAN DIEGO (UPI) The Los Angeles Dodgers Saturday night recalled catcher Lee Robinson from Albuquerque and sent out pitcher Greg Shanahan to their Pacific Coast League farm club. Bell shines in Big Sky triple jump Associated Press OGDEN, Utah Gerry Bell of Boise State University added more than a foot and a half to the Big Sky Conference triple jump record Saturday but his second-place team finished miles behind winner Idaho State University in the conference track and field championships.

The ISU Bengals found no obstacles as they took the conference crown with 168 points. Boise was closest with 94. Host Weber State was third at 71, followed by Montana 64, Northern Arizona 47, Idaho 46 and Montana State 13. Bell leaped for 50-10 in the three-step to dim the old conference and Wildcat stadium record of 49-3 '-j set in 1968 by Jim Tillman of Montana State. Idaho State captured its 11th straight mile relav with a time of 3:16.87.

BSU, Mon- tana and Weber were all within three seconds of equaling that time, however. Carl Lawson of Idaho State won the 160-yard dash Big Sky crown for the fourth time in his collegiate career with a timing of :09.89 seconds. Lawson and Montana's miler Doug Darko were named top athletes of the championship meet. Runner-up was Al Yardley of Weber who set a stadium record in the three-mile run with a clocking of 14 minutes, 22.6 seconds. The former record of 14.22.6 was set by Yardley himself earlier this year.

Jcrald Jones of Idaho State snapped the stadium record in the mile with a time of 4:12.2. The old mark was a close 4:12.5, set by Sam Francis of Brigham Young University in 1971. Freshman Bill Shaw of Weber State qualified for National Collegiate Athletic Association competition with a first-place 6-11'A in the high jump.

I Vr ii -Tp lftff EiSiTIE UM INGLEWOOD, Calif. -Linda's Chief, the nation's top money-winning thoroughbred in 1973, was humanely destroyed Saturday afternoon after falling in the $54,700 Los Angeles Handicap. The valuable colt, who cost Aaron U. Jones $1.8 million last year, tripped and fell at the quarter pole, suffering a broken back and leg. Linda's Chief, who was ridden Saturday by young jockey Steve Valdez, had won $366,180 last year and had earned $490,571 in his brief career.

A three-man team of veterinarians diagnosed the injuries to the 4-year-old colt so severe they would leave him paralyzed. They suggested he be destroyed. Linda's Chief was ranked second only to Triple Crown champion Secretariat last year among the nation's 3-year-olds. Sports menu TODAY PRO BASEBALL Giants at Salt Lake City.
