By CHUCK CAPALDO MARINETTE There is no administrative aspirin in the Wisconsin interscholastic Athletic Assn. medicine cab inet to erase the recurring headache of sectional basketball tournaments being overloaded with rated teams. At least, not this year. Maybe in the future. Hardly a year goes by that there isn't overloading at the sectional level, if not at the other levels of play.

Madison teams used to knock each other off with regularity. The same, was true of Wisconsin Rapids and Stevens Point This year's case in point is the Janesville sectional. All four teams are top rated, but only one will survive to go on to the finals at Madison. They are three of the first four Big 18 clubs, Fort Atkinson, No. South Milwaukee, and Janesville, and Sauk City, No.

3 in the Little 16 ratings. Aware of Injustices John Roberts, the WIAA's new executive secretary, is well aware of the injustices of such scheduling as was his predecessor, Cliff Fagan. "The trouble," Roberts said today, "is that when the re-gionals and sectionals are set up in December we have no idea who the strong teams are going to be. And, to be fairj about it, this office should not have to decide which of two teams is stronger." "Under the present setup," he continued, "there isn't a great deal that can be done unless we wait until all district and regional tournaments are over and then assign teams to sectionals. "That would be an almost impossible administrative job I cannot see where that would be feasible at the present time.

If it had been feasible my pre decessor (Fagan) would have done something about it long ago. Of course, if we wanted to play basketball into July, say, it could be done. However, Roberts indicated that he has given this matter, plus other tournament prob lems such as geographical in equities, much thought and is toying with some ideas of his own. What they are, he isn't prepared to say at this time. Pro Basketball By Associated Press Tonight's Schedule Rochester vs.

The Tonight Find Out Hart, Byars Duel Tonight NEW YORK OH Garnett (Sugar) Hart and Walt Byars, a couple of ambitious welter, weight newcomers who have almost forgotten how defeat tastes, collide in a television fight at Madison Square Gar den tonight. Hart, a power-punching 21- year-old from Philadelphia, has won 12 straight in nearly two years. Byars, 25-year-old Boston boxer and holder of the New England 147-pound crown, has an unbeaten streak of 10 for about the same period. Despite the impressive rec ords of both, Hart has been made an almost prohibitive 4-1 choice for the 10-rounder.

It will be the Garden debuts of the two unranked but high ly regarded prospects. Sugar, a skinny, long-armed 5-11 speedster with a kick in either hand, has knocked out his last seven opponents.

"The defendants, as promoters of such title fights, derive substantially all of their revenue from the sale of tickets of admission and the sale of radio, television and motion picture rights which are in the control of the promoter," the judge said. Judge Ryan noted that the combine controlled the heavyweight division since 1949, when Wirtz and Norris entered into an agreement with Joe Louis, then champion. At that time, the Joe Louis Enterprises, agreed to sign the four leading heavyweight contenders. Louis was then to resign his title and assign the four exclusive contracts to a corporation to be formed by Wirtz and Norris. Under, this agreement, Louis was to receive a salary of $15,000 a year; $150,000 in cash, and part of the stock in the newly formed company.
