Colescott met Monday night with Tarheel Coach Dt-an Smith to sign a national letter of intent. Colescott's decision ended speculation on his choice of colleges, which he had narrowed down to North Carolina, Illinois and Michigan. Colescott led Marion to two straight Indiana high school basketball championships and was selected Trester Award winner in this March's finale.

He was later tagged "Mr, Basketball" to lead Indiana's high school all-stars against a Kentucky team in a two-game charity series in June. Colescott will make his first appearance with the Indiana all-stars this Saturday as the Hoosier prep stars take on a touring Russian team in a game at Richmond.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (UPI) The much-traveled Bold Forbes was again on the move Monday after his mile and a quarter victory in Saturday's 102nd Kentucky Derby. E. Rodriquez Tizol's horse was taken from his Churchill Downs stall Monday morning and flown back to his home stuble at Belmont Park in New York. He will rest there a week before going to Baltimore and the second Jewel in racing's Triple Crown, the May 13 Preakness.

The John J. McCabe Agency of New York City brought the Derby winner back to New York. He arrived at Kennedy International Airport around 11:45 a.m. (EST) and was taken by van to Belmont. "Everything went just fine," a spokesman for the McCabe Agency said.

Trainer Laz Barrera Mid Saturday he planned to keep Bold Forbes at Belmont for a week, then ship him to "the Chick Lang track," Barrera was referring to the general manager ol Pimlico Race Track in Baltimore where the Preakness is run. Honest Pleasure In Baltimore Honest Pleasure, the odds on Derby favorite who finished second to Bold Forbes, was scheduled to be shipped to Baltimore late Monday. Play the Red. the Johnny Campo trained colt who finished eighth in the nine-horse field Saturday, rode on the plane with Bold Forbes. Campo has indicated he does not plan to enter Play the Red in the Preakness.

Barrera said he was sending Bold Forbes to New York first so he could spend some time at home. Barrera runs a stable that trains horses from coast to coast and he said he made seven trips from New York to California in preparing Bold Forbes for the Derby. Monday's trip was nothing new for Bold Forbes. He was bred and sold in Kentucky; began his racing career in Puerto Rico; und raced in California this year before winning the Wood Memorial in New York last month. Barrera may get to see several of his horses run at the same time in the Preakness.

He is considering entering Life's Hope, who won the Illinois Derby Saturday, and possibly Barrera, a horse named for him, which is entered in this Saturday's Withers Mile at Aqueduct.

"It doesn't help this tournament that some of the best players pass up the opportunity to qualify," said Ashe. "But the fact that there is no Australian here is not that important.

"Actually, the only Australian of any name who did not try to qualify was Newcombe. The rest of them tried and failed and that is the way it goes. "I doubt whether Conners will ever play in WCT.

The tournament continues Wednesday night with a quarter-final match between Sweden's Bjorn Borg and Eddie Dibbs.

The other quarter-finals will be run off Thursday night with Raul Ramirez of Mexico vs. Dick Stockton and Guillermo Vilas of Argentina taking on Bob Lutz.

"I think we may see conflicts in the scheduling of tournaments of the two tours," said Ashe. "I think I can see the handwriting on the wall." Ashe was named the favorile for this event by the other players on the WCT tour with Borg, who has been runner-up the past two years, chosen second. John Ritter Named Mississippi Assistant OXFORD, Miss.

(AP) John Ritter, a three-year starter at Indiana who's been in private business since he graduated in 1973, was named Monday an assistant basketball coach at Mississippi. Ritter, 25, played two of his seasons with the Hoosiers under Mississippi head coach Bob Weltlich, who was then an assistant at Indiana. The Goshen, former high school all-state forward captained the 1973 Hoosiers, who finished third in the NCAA finals. which made him a charter member of the college and professional football halls of fame. When he was player-coach for Du-luth against Milwaukee in the early days of pro football, a physician had ordered him to stay on the bench because of a bad appendix.

But after Milwaukee had taken a 6-0 lead, Nevers ordered himself into the lineup and threw a 60-yard pass to Joe Rooney for the tying score the longest toss of his career. Then he kicked the extra point which won the game. His splurge against the Chicago Bears came on a frozen field. Nevers recalled that all the touchdowns came on power plays off tackle and that none covered more than 20 yards. Pop Warner, who coached both Nevers and Jim Thorpe, claimed that Nevers was the greater.

"Nevers could do everything Thorpe could do," Warner would say. "And Ernie always tried harder. Ernie gave 60 minutes of himself in every game." Although pro football salaries were meager in 1926, Nevers received a guarantee of $25,000 that year to play with a group of college all-stars against Red Grange and the Chicago Bears. "The money was in the bank before the kickoff," Nevers once said, smiling. Nevers is survived by his widow, Margery, and a daughter, Tina Galli-son, and son, Anselmo.

Funeral services will be private and the family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in his memory to the Football Hall of Fame. Area Results SAN RAFAEL. Calif. (UPI) Ernie Nevers, a crashing fullback whose line plunges and tackling made him one of football's greatest 60-minute players, died Monday at the age of 72. Nevers died in Marin General Hospital.

He had been under treatment for a heart condition. A resident of Tiburon, Nevers was a six-foot, 205-pound blond athlete whose power, agility and speed became a legend at Stanford University. The Indians retired his numeral "1" after he had played his final season there in 1925. 40 Points In One Game But he continued to knock records apart, such as on Thanksgiving Day of 1929 when he scored 40 points for the old Chicago Cardinals against the Chicago Bears to set a National Football League standard. Nevers tallied six touchdowns and converted four of them during his big afternoon, a feat unapproached until 1951 when Bill Jones of Cleveland scored six touchdowns against the Bears.

A week before his Thanksgiving splurge, Nevers had accounted for 19 points against Dayton. He had loss success as a pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals and St. Louis Browns. His major league record was 6-12 over three seasons from 1926 to 1928.

He only figured in one baseball record. During the 1927 season, he gave up two home runs to Babe Ruth when the latter was en route to hitting his major league mark of 60. While with the Browns, Nevers had an agreement with the management that he could leave shortly before the season concluded to join the football Cardinals, providing the baseball club was not in pennant contention. After retiring from both sports, Nevers was head football coach at for the 1936 season and a year later joined the grid staff at Iowa. During the war he served as a captain in the Marine Corps, then afterward worked for a distillery and was prominent officiating at football games, analyzing the San Francisco 49ers' contests on television and golfing.

In 1967 he joined the front office of the then-Oakland Clippers professional soccer club. In Football Hall Of Fame Nevers' great years at Stanford came in 1923-25, years that were to earn him a spot in the National Football Hall of Fame. In 1924 and 1925 eastern 192.

Nevers was an end with the Stanford frosh but became a 60minute fullback on the varsity during an era when platoon football was unheard of.

His drives up the middle were complemented by a superb ability to block, pass, kick and back up the line. Yet his greatest game for Stanford came when Notre Dame downed the Indians, 27-10, in the 1925 Rose Bowl. Nevers had broken an ankle in pre-season practice and remained sidelined until the last two regular contests of the season. Then he fractured his other ankle during the "Big Game" with California. He still made it into the Rose Bowl where he netted 114 yards rushing in 34 of the 45 times that the Indians ran the ball.

The blond star also intercepted a pass in the third period that set up Stanford's lone touchdown and he made about 80 per cent of his team's tackles. Strength and endurance were his hallmarks. As a freshman he placed third one day in the discus during a track meet, then changed uniforms and pitched for the Indians against California.
