LOUIS (UPD--The St. Louis Hawks take a breather today fol- owing their loss to the Syracuse Vationals in Baltimore Wednes- ay night, 126-108. The Hawks now sport a record five wins against two losses They dropped into second place ehind San Francisco in the Nai a 1 Basketball Association's Western Division. The victory marked the fourth five starts for Syracuse and teeps them in a first-place tie with Boston hi the Eastern Divi ion. Bob Pettit led the Hawks in heir attempt to catch up with but their third quarter ally fell short after cutting the Vats' lead to 72-71.

Pettit was ligh point man for ttie game with 9. There's no discounting the fact Elgin Baylor is a great basket itill player, but many individuals laim that little Jerry West is the nan who last season turned the Los Angeles Lakers into a cham lionship team. They may have a point there West helps take the pressure of Baylor; who usually averages around 35 points a game. Anc when Elgin has a slow night, the 'ormer West Virginia University star usually scores enough to take up the slack. Last night, when Baylor slippec 28 points, West flipped in 35 anc lie 63-point combination sparkei Angeles to an easy 115-95 vie over the New York Knicker jockers.

West opened at his usual guarc position, but also played at for ward when the potent Laker, wrought in Dick Barnett and Ho Rod Hundley in the second half It was LA's second straight win at home after four consecutive road losses. Losers to the Knickerbockers a New York two weeks ago, th Lakers trailed by a point late it the first quarter then exploded grab a 64-44 ha If time lead.

both days. NEW YORK (UPI) Only one hort year after he was the toast baseball, New York Yankee lugger Roger Maris was tabbed lie flop of the year today by the United Press International. A UPI board of 24 baseball ex singled out Maris as the eason's No. 1 disappointment in a close vote with the Detroit Ti gers and the St. Louis Cardinals Six of the 24 experts selectee ilaris, five picked the Tigers anc our chose the Cardinals.

The allures of individual stars Norm Cash, Don Schwall and Jim Pier all and the team failures of the ialtimore Orioles, New York Mets and Chicago White SOK 'also were noted. In 1961, Maris established tew home run record of 61 in a eason despite the enormous pres ure of chasing "the ghost" Jabe Ruth and learning to live in a goldfish-bowl atmosphere. That performance plus a league eading total of 142 runs battet enabled Maris to win a seconi traight American League Mos Valuable Player award. He rose nto the $70,000 class as a salar ed player and stood alongsid Mickey Mantle as a Yankee su per star. The only hitch was his .269 bat ing average an average whicl caused some baseball experts tc sneer at his 61-homer feat and predict that he would never again come close to that total.

Maris' 61 home runs made him a marked man in 1962. Sir Roger did not tak kindly to the situation. He be ieved his 61 homers spoke fo themselves as an achievemen he resented any criticism frequently engaged in argu ments with newsmen durin spring training and definitel. wore a chip on his shoulder a the start of the season. It developed that American League pitchers were only toe tiappy to knock it off.

Maris, bat ting average dipped to .256 1962, his runs batted in total fei to 100 and his home run total-the key to the entire image Roger Maris spiraled down ward from 61 to 33. Actually, Maris put in a gooc season of work for the Yankees Despite his uneven home run hi ting, delivered frequently the clutch, drove' hard' day afte day and played in impeccabl right field. In emergencies, also filled in for the injured Man tie in center field and he did good job there, too. BOWLING RAINBOW LANES Tuesday Night Handicap D-X Sunray 22 8 Wan Shell 15 15 Edw.

Florida AM, which has been on top for five straight weeks, had its margin cut to a season low of eight points over runner- up Southern Mississippi in the latest balloting and Southeastern Louisiana contributed to the solid South showing by jumping from fifth to third place. Only the top two teams retained the positions they held last week as the 35 coaches who comprise the UPI board of coaches re-evaluated their thinking at the midway point of the season. Southern Illinois and Pittsburg lost their places in the top 10 and were replaced by Arkansas State and Montana State.

The University was accused violating rules on aid to athlete and of allowing the 1960-61 fresl man basketball team to play a excessive number of games. Dayton, which last year wo the National Invitation Tourn ment (NIT) championship an has three starters from that team returning this season, will be pro hibited from competing in th NCAA basketball championship during the probation period.

BYRNE (Pol. Adv.) of ALL SORTS By JOB GAGI6 Sports Editor Every year about this time, Edwardsville cross country coach Ken Freeland packs his bag and heads upstate for the state harrier finals at Urbana and this year is no different! The EHS runners leave Friday noon for the 1962 state cross country meet. It will mark the eighth straight year the Tigers have advanced all the way to the Illinois finals. This year's trip was won last Saturday when the Bengals finished second behind host Alton in the district. Freeland says his team is shooting for first, of course.

but will be delighted to finish in the first five and have two or more boys place in the first 15. The big question will be how Alton and Edwardsville finish. The Tigers have been beaten by the Redbirds the last two times out last week's district and the Southwestern Conference Meet the week before. However, Edwardsville still has beaten the Redbirds more times this season than not. The Tigers won a quadrangular and placed ahead of Alton In three'invitations.

Representing Edwardsville will be Ken Cassens, Ron Schmidt, Bob Weise, Al Vest, Steve Nuernberger, Ken Wieduwilt, Gary Strader and Bill Hyten. Strader and Hyten are sophomores and the latter will probably be the team alternate. Bradley University's football team is providing ib followers with plenty of action this fall. According to recent statistics, the Braves are averaging a fantastic 71 official offensive plays a game with 497 in seven plays. Their opposition is averaging 64 plays a game.

However, to these totals should be added all those plays which are not classified as an offensive movement. This would include punts, kickoffs, point-after-touchdown attempts field goal attempts, and plays nullified by penalties. Counting the above plays the Braves are averaging plays per game to the opposition's 83.8. An example Bradley's offensive punch was last Saturday's game againsi Drake when the Braves attempted 71 passes while losing There must be some sort of record in these figures! Bill Burrell, former University of Illinois All-Americar guard, is now a star outside linebacker for the Saskatche wan Roughriders of Regina, Saskatchewan in the Canadiai Football League. A fifth round draft choice of the St.

Louis Cardinals i. the NFL and also a high choice by the AFL's Buffalo Bill: three years ago, Burrell, who stands six feet and weigh 220, thought he was too small for an NFL lineman. Whatever he might lack in size, he makes up for it- speed and it isn't hard to see why. He was granted scholarship to the U. of I.

as a fullback. He and his family now live in Regina the year-roun and are waiting for their Canadian citizenship papers. Ht has been substituting in Jtegina high schools this seasor teaching biology, mathematics and physical education. St. Louis University athletic director Bob Stewart an head basketball coach John Bennington discussed the Bill ken cage prospects this coming season yesterday afte noon at a press luncheon in the Collinsville Fairmon Hotel.

Bennington is confident that his squad will be betu than last year but quickly admits that so will most of other Missouri Valley Conference schools. "Old Dad" Bennington points out that the defendir NCAA national champion Cincinnati Bearcats have fo'. of their starting five back this year and sophomore Re Krick is ready to step in for the now-departed Paul Hov Krick is from Reading, where he broke all state hie school scoring records previously set by Wilt Chamberla Last year was Bennington's first losing season at Louis; the Billikens finished with a 11-15 record. Tr year, they will have one of the tallest teams in the Gary Garrison, at 6-8, will handle the center chores aga and he may be flanked by either 6-8 Bill Kurz or 6-10 Beckemeier and 6-4 Donnell Reid. Beckemeier, a sophomore who sat out all of last seaso- grew two inches and gained about 20 pounds to the delr of the Billiken coaching staff.

Kurz also sat out last year a transfer student from the University of Notre DD- Bennington also has three 6-7 boys on his squad includir combination center-forward Bill Nordmann.
