By Ken Rappoport (Associated Press Sports Writer) One of the four teams in tonight's semifinals of the Holiday Festival Basketball Tournament GiBBffnEMl backhand to overcome Gorman's bir service and overhead game. The 21-year-old Rahim, a native of Lahore, Pakistan, and one of 16 children, said he was "a bit surprised that I got this far in a field as strong as this.

I was a bit nervous at the start but I got more confidence as I played." Rahim's strong service was almost a match for Pasarell's booming overheads. Both sets wento into sudden death as neither was able to break the other's service. In the newly devised sudden death system, the first player to win five points is the victory. Crealy and Russell In Sunday night's only doubles, Dick Crealy, Australia's No. 1 player, and Jamaica's Richard Russel bested Pasarell and Van Dillen 6-3, 6-2.

Crealy ad Russell broke their opponents' service four times in the first set and two in the second to overwhelm the favored Pasarell-Van Dillen tamdem. Crealy and Russell will meet Bob Lutz and Gorman for the tournament's double is lOth-ranked Western Kentuckyand no one's more surprised than Hilltopper Coach John Oldham. Oldham says the Hilltoppers don't belong on the same court with 19th-rated St. John's, N.Y., if they play anything like Saturday night's first-round game at Madison Square Garden. "St.

John's will run us out of here if we don't play any better than this," Oldham said after the Hilltoppers topped smaller St. Peter's N.J., 108-97 to nail a semifinal berth in the 19th annual classic. South Carolina's second-ranked Gamecocks, an easy 83-60 winner over Cornell in Saturday's opening round, opens tonight's doubleheader against Providence, an 89-69 conquerer 170 carries. Also a double-duty man, he played defense, had two interceptions and was the return specialist for Brother Martin. He is a 5-11, 175-pound senior.

Capitols Brown led an in pass receptions with 44 for 944 yards and eight touchdowns, which topped the old District Rogers, a sensation in Ruston's spectacular season, was named the Outstanding Back on the mythical squad, while Delaney, a tantamount tackle, received the same honors for the linemen. Coach Ray Latoof, who took over the West Jefferson football team and directed it to the state Quad A championship after Coach "Hoss" Memtsas died, was named Coach of the Year in Louisiana's top prep classification. Coaches David Moore of Ope-lousas, L. J. Garrett of Ruston, J.

C. Stewart of Baker and Lewis Murray of Bogalusa were nominated for coach of the year laurels. Mark Speyrer of Lafayette, a 6-1, 170-pounder, was picked as the first team punting 3-AAA records in yards and completions. Brown is a 6-0, 180- pound terminal. At the other terminal, East Jeff's 6-1, 175-pound Burks had impressive stats to boost him on the first team.

Burks shows 39 receptions for 613 yards and nine touchdowns. Turning to the tackles, Sul phur's Crouch was the only two- a all district choice In 3-AAAA. He graded over 90 per cent in all games. South Terry Cenac was a second team all- state offensive tackle a year ago.

Despite a 27-point performance by the 7-foot McDaniels Saturday night, "he never played a worse game," said Oldham. Coach Frank McGuire of South Carolina wasn't too pleased either, with his team's early efforts against outgunned Cornell. Despite the Gamecocks' 13-point advantage, McGuire felt they looked like they were rocking to sleep. What did he do? He had them spring into a man-to-man press from a deliberate zone. "I tried to get them out of their lethragy," said McGuire, who admitted South Carolina wasn't too excited about the opening-round game.

"It's hard to play against a hungry ball club like Cornell," he said, referring to the Big Red's 2-7 record. Other Successful Other teams in the Top Ten No. 5 Pennsylvania, No. 8 Kansas and No. 9 Kansas also chalked up success in tournament play over the weekend.
