The medical decision was made after Garcia was given extensive tests at Children's Hospital in Baltimore. '1 111 su C3 Cindy Walter of Sheldon fights nois and Minnesota were picked by the NIT. "But the successes haven't been just of recent origin; only the recognition has," said Dutcher, ticking off NCAA finalists Michigan State, Indiana and Michigan since 1976.

"Tough interconference play against good teams hardens you." And pro scouts have concurred that Big Ten basketball isn't just the football off-season any longer. For the past four years, the No.l pick in the National Basketball Association draft has come from the Big Ten Scott May of NCAA champion Indiana in 1976, Kent Benson of Indiana in 1977, Mychal Thompson of Minnesota in 1978 and Earvin Johnson of NCAA titlist Michigan State in 1979. "And if Joe Barry Carroll (of Purdue) goes first this year, it will make five," said Dutcher. Dutcher has a blue-chipper of his own.

(AP) Superbity, the convincing winner of the Flamingo Stakes and the closest thing to a Kentucky Derby favorite to emerge from this year's 3-year-old field, was scratched Tuesday from the Florida Derby and is expected to miss the Triple Crown events. Veteran trainer Melvin "Sunshine" Calvert said that Superbity, winner of the Flamingo by six lengths on March 5, suffered a severe bruise on the wing of the cannon bone in his right front leg. "I'd be lying if I said it didn't matter," Calvert said. "It really hurts. But it's something you live with." Calvert said he didn't know how the injury occurred.

Superbity breezed through five furlongs in 1 :01 4-5 last Thursday, but appeared lame after the workout, and the next day had trouble getting up in his stall. X-rays have been negative so far, Calvert said. "He's a lot better," Calvert said Tuesday. "But we're not going to take any chances with him. He should be all right inside of three months.

I'll have a number of X-rays taken to make sure there's nothing wrong." NEW YORK (AP) The Big Ten Conference isn't just for big, brawny football players anymore; it's also for big basketball stars. Like the big timber that plays for Minnesota, which will battle Virginia tonight in the finals of the 43rd National Invitation Tournament. In the past few years, while the Big Ten's football image has been tarnished by repeated losses in the Rose Bowl, the conference has been building its basketball reputation. "We got three of the final six this year and last year," said Minnesota Coach Jim Dutcher, referring to Purdue and Iowa as Final Four survivors in the NCAA Tournament this year, along with Minnesota in the NIT. The Gophers finished in a fourth-place tie with Iowa with 10-8 Big Ten records, one game behind Purdue's 11-7 conference mark.

Indiana and Ohio State also received NCAA bids, while Michigan, Illi rrriTiToTTf Statesman photo by Mike Williams Monica Cassidy (50) for a rebound draft pick stamped all over him. The 6-foot-11 senior led the 21-10 Gophers in points (17.7) and rebounds (8.9). He normally guards the opposition's top inside threat. "He's our defensive stopper," said Dutcher, who shared a press conference podium with Virginia Coach Terry Holland Tuesday. Dutcher indicated McHale would be keying on Ralph Sampson, Virginia's 7-4 freshman sensation who scored 26 points, picked off 15 rebounds and blocked four shots Monday night in the Cavaliers' 90-71 semifinal rout of Nevada-Las Vegas.

"We'll try to keep the ball away from Sampson," said Dutcher. "We'll try to prevent him from getting into choice scoring position." Sampson, who is expected to return to Virginia and not turn pro, has exceeded Holland's expectations. "Early in the season, he didn't concern himself with offense so much. He knew he could score, so he worked on his defense and shot-blocking and it shows now," Holland said. Minnesota, which led the Big Ten in field goal percentage this season, can bring in a big freshman center of its own 7-2 Randy Breuer, who came off the bench to score 24 points and grab nine rebounds in the Gophers' 65-63 triumph over Big Ten rival Illinois Monday night.

When Breuer came in, McHale was shifted to forward. Gary Holmes, at 6-10, played the other forward spot, prompting Holland to crack after the game that "Minnesota looked more like the Russians tonight." While the Big Ten has been blossoming, the Atlantic Coast Confeslipping somewhat. The ACC, a hotbed of college basketball, has won the NCAA basketball title only twice North Carolina in 1957 and North Carolina State in 1974. Dutcher, whose club lost twice to Iowa and split a pair of games with Purdue this season, relishes playing an ACC school. "It's a natural rivalry," he said.

"We're competing for ratings, publicity and recruits." One recruit he lost was Jeff Lamp, the fr6 junior swingman who scored 30 points Monday night. "My final decision came down to three schools Virginia, Indiana and Minnesota," said Lamp. "My parents live in Minnesota, so I decided to get away."
