Santa Clara, rated as a rugged and excellent rebounding team, will now have a big edge in that department. Sanford first injured his knee in pre-game practice the and King hopes he will be able to walk through patterns during the remaining workouts. Sanford missed the New Mexico State game at Las Cruces early in the season when he suffered a severed eye injury in a gymnastics class.

But with Howard taking up a great deal of the slack, the Lobos played inspired ball -to take a 71-64 victory.

This makes the tournament an even greater challenge." night UNM won its Western Athletic Conference championship at Laramie. He did not play in the second half of that game. The following night at Denver, where the Lobos lost 70-68, Sanford saw limited action, but was ineffective.

The knee seemed to be responding to treatment until it was reinjured in a practice session last Saturday. When the Lobos returned to practice Monday, it was apparent the injury still bothered Sanford and he did not practice at all Tuesday. Sanford will again see a doctor today for treatment though he started two regular season games, had previously been given the assignment of starting in Howard's place. Culver, also a sophomore, stands 64 and has averaged 2.1 points in 22 contests. Sanford has averaged 15.6 points per game, second to guard Ron Nelson, and is second in rebounding behind Howard.

King said that he' hopes Sanford will be able to see limited action in Friday's contest to help spell Culver or Schaafsma.

W.vr., King, McDavid Thank Fans For Support in Open Letter Spitball Penalty Lessened FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. Ut The commissioner and two major league presidents stepped in Tuesday and took some of the teeth out of baseball's confusing and controversial spitball rule.

A pitcher no longer will be subject to ejection from the game after two violations. He will be chaisd instead with an illegal pitch, similar to a balk. Commissioner William Eckert, making the announcement, said the revised rule would be in effect until the Rules Committee is able to restudy the problem, probably before the season opening April 8. Eckert said the decision for an interim rule, less severe than that adopted at the Winter Meetings in Mexko City, was made with the agreement of Warren Giles, the league president, and Joe CroninJ will leave with a feeling that this was the finest tournament they ever attended. This alone wili make it easier for us to host many great tournaments in tbe future.

"We would like to publicly thank all our many fans throughout the state and the UNM student body for their loyal support throughout the past basketball season," says the fetter.

"It was indeed most gratifying and contributed tremendously toward our Lobos' most successful season. Please accept our humble thanks and that of our fine Lobo squad. Let us all again get behind our Lobos and steer them towards a regional championship and a trip to Los Angeles (for the finals). We would also be hopeful that you will join us in welcoming the fine UCLA, Santa Clara and New Mexico State squads.
