HOUSTON (AP) The Amateur Athletic Union feels the United States shouldn't follow its old habit of letting down In international competition after the Olympic Games but should work even harder, an AAU spokesman says.

Already much of the business at the annual AAU meeting here has been directed toward that goal. For one thing, the AAU has agreed on a 1985 triangular track meet with Poland, West Germany and the United States. Don Hull, AAU executive director, said following a meeting of the foreign-relations committee Wednesday that the plan is for 1965 to be "the largest and best ever for international competition the year after the Olympic Games." The United States, he said, has a habit of letting down after the Games and then scrambling back the year before the next Olympics. "This doesn't lend to keeping the United States on top," he added. Hull said the AAU tentatively plans to match the men's and women's national champions and runners-up from Poland, West Germany and the United States in a July 10-11 meet in Los Angeles.

It will be a tune-up I fj I H. Boyd. Other members of the first team are end Ronald Smith of Eunice, tackles, John Nowlin of Opelousas and George Murr of DeRidder, guard Lloyd LeJeune of Jennings, center David Poole of Jennings, quarterback Bill Hyde of DeRidder, halfbacks Eddie Larson of Eunice and Nick Pizzolatto of Jennings, and fullback J. C. Picard of Westlake.

Larson, who led Eunice to the district championship, was named the conference's outstanding player, and Eunice's Joe Nagata earned the "out Brayton Swipes Headlines Away From Bradley, Bing By Ted Meier Associated Press Sports Writer All-America Bill Bradley of Princeton and Dave Bing of Syracuse displayed their basketball finesse to the nth degree, but the headlines went to Maryland's Neil Brayton.

Meanwhile, the squabble over control of open amateur athletics in the United States between the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the AAU was at a standstill today. Each side agreed to meet Dec.

16 in Chicago, but only on its terms. Neither gave any sign of giving in to the other, so most officials saw little likelihood the meeting would be held. Hull said there should be a congressional investigation of the "NCAA's attack and boycott of the AAU to see if there is a valid reason." G'town Tourney Kicks Off Today GEORGETOWN, La.

Spurrier, who earned the starting spot in the Gator back-field during the second game of the season, is a rugged 6-foot-2, 193-pounder from Johnson City, who does everything well. Coach Doug Dickey of Tennessee says he is counting on Graham, a 6-2, 218-pound tackle from Fayetteville, to take up the slack that will be left by the graduation of All-America guard Steve DeLong. Tennessee and Alabama were the only schools in the conference placing two players cn the sophomore team selected by The Associated Press' regional All-America board. Others having one were Mississippi, Tulane, Georgia, Louisiana State, Florida, Kentucky and Mississippi State. Ranking right behind Graham and Spurrier in the voting was little Marcus Rhoden, a speedy Mississippi State halfback who is dreaded by the opposition already because of his ability to break away for the long gain.

Richards offered all 40 Houston players plus S5-million for all of Milwaukee's players, but the Braves turned down the bid. "It was a legitimate and sincere offer," said the Texas-born Richards, who serves as Houston's general manager. "I made the offer in good faith to John McHale and Bill Barthol-omay." McHale Is president of the Braves and Bartholomay chairman of the board. The offer was made three weeks ago in Phoenix, at a meeting attended only by baseball's top brass.

You're Surprised? "They were staggered by the offer," Richards said of McHale and Bartholomay." But they rejected it. Both knew we were dead serious. If they wanted to do it, we were ready right there and then. "And if any witnesses are needed, Judge Roy Hofheinz (Houston club president) was right there." By one of those coincidences, Bartholomay happened to walk by as Richards was talking in the hotel lobby of baseball's convention headquarters here. "Are you talking about the offer?" he said to Richard3, smiling.

"Yes I am," Richards replied. "It's the truth. I'm talking about the offer we made you not long ago. You turned it down, isn't that right?" "Well," said Bartholomay, "it was like offering someone the Brooklyn Bridge." "Nevertheless, it was a genuine offer and we would have closed the deal right there if you had said the word," Richards insisted. Bartholomay did not reply.

McHale likewise said he would rather not discuss the offer when asked about it. Within the Law Had the wholesale trade been made, roster-for- roster, It would have been within baseball law. "There is nothing in the rules preventing us from trading whom we choose," Richards said. Nor was there any doubt about Houston being able to come up with the money as long as multi-millionaire R.

SUGAR RAY WITHDRAWS PARIS (UPI) A swollen right hand and a touch of the flu forced former middleweight champion Sugar Ray Robinson to withdraw from his Dec. 14 bout against Luis Folledo of Spain.

The Gators downed Virginia Military Institute 68-59 while Tennessee crushed Richmond 97-66. Tonight's action among Southeastern Conference teams finds Vanderbilt playing host to Rice, Georgia taking on nationally-ranked North Carolina, and Mississippi at Arkansas Florida led the Keydets nearly the entire game as Tom Bax-ley and Brooks Henderson paced the attack with 17 points each.

The Canada Cup, put into play first in 1953 as an emblem of international good will through the medium of golf, is the big prize. It is determined by the total scores of the two players. The companion award Is the International Trophy which goes to the low medalist.

Palmer and Nicklaus won the Canada Cup last year In Paris, and while Palmer has yet to capture the International Trophy, he sounded a warning Wednesday. Arnie, with an abbreviated version of his famed army at his heels, broke the course record in the pro amateur prelude with a seven-under-par 31-34-65. Best-ball low-score honors, 62, went to Palmer and his amateur partner, Howard Clark of New York, president of the International Golf Association. Nicklaus had an Individual 72. Runners-up to Palmer were Bruce Devlin, Australia, 69, and at 70, Ted Makalena of Hawaii and Chefif Sayed of Egypt.

Rounding out the sophomore backfield are Mike McGraw, a 5-11, 193-pound Kentucky fullback, and Leslie Kelley, a 6-2, 206-pound fullback from Alabama. McGraw's hometown is Ft.

Big Baseball Step Baseball is taking one giant step ahead with the adoption of the free agent draft of high school and college player? by the National Association of minor leagues.

The major leagues, it seems, is ready to follow suit. With the draft, the majors soon can enjoy the balance of professional leagues in football and basketball, not to mention all the money that can be saved by the elimination of the ridiculous bonuses. Through the draft, with the lowest team getting first choice of new talent, no club can dominate in pro football. Seldom does a pro team win more than two years in a row, and usually not that often. Fresh football talent yearly prevents any pro football team from being an outclassed loser for any length of time.

Why major league baseball has been opposed to such a draft for so long has never been clearly explained. But the important thing is that somebody has opened the eyes of the brass, and all of them should profit.
