By ROB Rapoport Associated Presa Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) Two VU- lanova athletes say they have been threatened with the loss of their scholarships and at least three foreign athletes have been barred from the New York Athletic games this Friday in the latest flare-up of the war between the AAU and NCAA. Poetically everyone pleads Innocence. The athletes are mystified, worried and angry. Oia Story It's an old, old story, this fight between the Amateur Athletic Union, and the National Collegiate Athletic Association over control of the United States' track and field forces. It may be settled soon.

Theodore Kheel, a New York attorney who was appointed by Vice President Humphrey to head a panel mediating the dispute, said late Monday night that "we ar Flares; Charge Threats i have something to say He did not elaborate. In the meantime, the fight goes on. The latest episode Involves the national; indoor championships of the U.S. Track and Field Federation an arm of the NCAA, in New York last Friday. The AAU did not sanction the meet, and the USTFF did not request one.

So Chris Papanicdaou, a Greek pole vaulter now attending Sen Jose State, competed in the Federation meet, then was barred from the AAU-sanctioned Los Angeles Times meet last Saturday. Papanicolaou was not scheduled to compete in New York this week, but three athletes who were scheduled, have been barred. They are Ian Hamilton of Villanova. and Benedict Cayenne and Carver King of Maryland State. Hamilton is from Ireland, Cayenne and King from Trinidad.

Frank Murphy, another Irish student at Villanova, also is on the blacklist. Hamilton and Murphy said Monday night they were threatened with the loss of their scholarships if they did not run in the USTFF meet last wek. "We were told by Mr. Elliott (Villanova coach Jumbo Elliott) two hours before the meet that if we didn't run, our scholar, ships would expire this summer," Hamilton said. "In other words, we were threatened," ssid Murphy.

"The only thing perhaps is that I told them they were under a track grant and that Villa nova belonged to the U.S. Track and Field Federation," Elliott said. ''There's been some misunderstanding," said Villanova Athletic Director Art Mahan. 'We just don't do things like taking away a scholarship." A Moratorium? The NCAA contends that, a moratorium, constraining both sides to refrain from exclusive actions, still exists. The AAU does riot agree.

"This (barring of athletes from meets) is a regretful action on our part," said Ool. Don Hull, executive director of the AAU. "We did our best to get the meet sanctioned. We cannot understand why they did not ask for it." In Kansas City, Walter Byers, executive director of the NCAA, said that "the AAU threat of suspension is a direct violation of the U.S. Senate moratorium resolution, a restrain on competition.

The threats are an outright power play by the AAU."

The 6 foot 6 right-hander signed his new contract Monday for what he and Dodger officials said was for an income in six figures. It was reported at $105,000 or a $5,000 cut from his 1966 pact.

The 11-year Dodger veteran, held out in contract negotiations last year until March 30. Drysdale finally $110,000 and Koufax settled for $125,000. Swift Sandy, 27-gama winner last season, has now retired because of an arthritic elbow. Overweight and undertrained, Drysdale got off to a poor start last season and finished with a 13-16 record. His late season performances were impressive, though, and were instrumental in bringing the Dodgers the National League pennant.

Albie Pearson Quits Baseball By Mike Forrester Associated Press Writer RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) "My career was just adequate at best. There are a lot of us that retire everyday, and we have to go out and loofe for jobs." So said modest 5-foot-5 Albie Pearson, the darling of California Angels baseball fans, who announced his retirement from baseball Monday because of a back injury. Pearson's "adequate" career included selections as American League Rookie of the Year in 1958, as American League all- star centerfielder in 1963 and three years of leading the An gels in batting. The cause of the retirement is a deteriorated spinal disc which put the 31-year-old Pearson in the hospital for 36 days at the beginning of last season.

The disc causes Pearson little discomfort during normal activ ity, but "the only thing I can't do is do the thing I've done al my life, and that's play base ball," he said at his Riverside home. Midge, as his teammates called him, has long been active in youth work and participates in the Youth for Christ organi zation along with such athletes as Bob Richardson, Don Shin nick, Raymond Berry, Fran Tarkenton and Felipe Alou. "We feel we have a purpose in life," Pearson said of the group "These people are being bartered for on every known to man. I'd like to shov them what life's all about, spir itually speaking." Albie conceded it's tough to support a wife and four daugh ters that way, but said, "There 1 always a way out." "I don't have any specia he added. "I haven' had any special offers of any sort that have been significant." College Basketball By The Associated Press EAST St.

The Hilltoppers started the season with a losing streak of one straight and have been stretch running ever since.

Their finishing kick carried them to a 19th victory in a row Monday night, an 80-71 decision over Tennessee Tech, protecting their new No. 5 ranking among the nation's major college bas ketball teams.

We'd ask you to compare but with what? Comparing a Cadillac has always been a problem, for the car has long been clearly in a class of its own. In 1967, the challenge is even because Cadillac has never before asserted its leadership so convincingly.

Start with beauty. Cast about for a luxury car contender that can list such styling advancements as Cadillac's dramatic new roof line, its forward sweeping front design and its graceful and flowing side contours. Then consider that there are eleven exciting examples of this kind of Cadillac as well as the totally new Eldorado, the world's finest personal carl Consider also the incomparable newness of Cadillac's beautiful interiors and their unexcelled safety and convenience. There are passenger-guard door locks, a hazard warning system, a dual circuit braking system, latches that hold folding front seats securely in place and dozens of other safety features. And, of course, there's performance.

There's nothing else smoother than Cadillac's V-8 power; nothing else easier than Cadillac's improved variable ratio power steering; nothing else surer or steadier on the highway. Visit your authorized dealer and measure Cadillac against your own motoring requirements. It's the only valid comparison test for the Standard of the World.
