Comment: Redding, perhaps the most dominant forward in the Big Eight last year as a freshman, disappointed during league play this year six times being held to 12 points or less. Lewis was the league's leading scorer last year who quit the Buffs this season (later reinstated) because he wasn't starting. Allen scored 18 points against Iowa in the season opener before being ruled academically ineligible. Ray, a starter on Missouri's championship team two years ago, split time up front this year with a freshman while Beat was unable to assert himself as the dominant center in the league as many expected following his outstanding freshman season. Valentine has the Quickest hands in the conference, Langton is a study of perpetual motion and swingman Johnson became addicted to muffling all-time Btg Eight scoring champion Mike Evans this season.

All-Surprising (For those players who did not figure to figure at all but did); Bob Fowler, Iowa state C-Steve Soldner, Kansas State G-Jett Currla, Missouri G-Mark Tucker, Oklahoma State G-Bob Moore, Nebraska Honorable mention: The entire Iowa State team. Comment: Currie was not even supposed to play this year, having been hospitalized in early November with an tenigmatic kidney ailment. The 6-foot 7 Soldner, a reserve last year who averaged 18 points, moved over from forward to center In an emergency (no one else could play there for the Wildcats) and averaged 9.5 points and 8.0 rebounds despite conceding from l-to-8 Inches to every opponent. Fowler, Moore and Tucker were transfer students who contributed greatly to their respective teams despite sitting out the previous year. All-Disappointing (For those players with so much talent who contributed, in relation, so little) Curtis Redding, Kansas State F-Stan Ray, Missouri C-AI Beal, Oklahoma G-Emmet! Lewis, Colorado G-Leonard Allen, Iowa State Honorable mention: John Douglas of Kansas and John McCul lough of Oklahoma lor their Ancient ANCIENT AGE IS Years OM Partf Si 9.99 Phillip's PEPPERMINT BARTONS CANADIAN I iW SCHLITZ Storz BAUENTiNE I By Rick Gosselin KANSAS CITY, Mo.

(UPI) All-Conference teams are annually selected at this time of the year on the basis of the tangibles: more often reflecting a players showing in the box score rather than his showing on the. basketball court. Then there are the Intangibles: the ingredients inside a -player that make him perform like a champ or a chump. A gut check of the 1977-78 Big Eight season has turned up enough intagibles to formulate four other all-conference teams teams you can't determine by using the box score as your guide: Milford hosts AAU tourney Milford-The AAU Midwest Basketball Tournament set for here Saturday and Sunday has driven eight teams, including defending champions Bankers Life of Lincoln. Games will be played at Southeast Community College.

The schedule: Saturday 9 a.m., Bankers Life vs. D. Woodard of Omaha; 10:45. Home Federal Savings and Loan of Grand Island vs. Jake's Bar of Valentine; 12.30, Rivena of Omaha vs.

Miller Electric of Crete; 2:15, Dr. Thompson of Bellevue vs. K. Sport of Norfolk. Semifinals will be at 2 p.m.

and 4 p.m. Sunday and finals at 7 p.m. There will be consolation games at 4 and 5:45 p.m., Sunday for losers of the first round games. $5.59 Triumph xi-h 2.39 3.99 A-GO-GO, LIQUOR DRIVE-IN 27th 1 Vino CMvinmu Nrty Si 8.39 KESSIER wry Si OLD CROW Party Si 7.99 CANADIAN MIST Party Si 8.99 AlljFreshman (For the kids wao distinguished themselves the most In their first fling at major college basketball): F-Rolando BlacKman, Kansas State F-Andr.

Comment: Valentine is easily the most Impressive first year player to hit the Big Eight since Jo Jo White in 1967 and Whitley mirrors his contributions for the Sooners. Smith excelled coming off the bench to spell Carl McPipe at low post, Johnson will dominate the conference inside within two years and Blackman is surprisingly capable defensively with an especially soft outside shooting touch for a big man. All-Defense (For the guys who enjoyed playing in the defensive end of the court as much as in the offensive end): Terry Novak, Nebraska Clint Johnson, Kansas G-Oarnell Valentine, Kansas G-Brian Banks, Nebraska G-Scott Langton, Kansas Statt Honorable mention: Larry Vaculik, Colorado; Curt Hedberg, Nebraska. Comment: "Novak would have to be the captain of an all-defensive team," says Nebraska coach Joe Cipriano. "He's the best in the league." Banks always drew the opposition's high-scoring guard, having particular success against Valentine In their two confrontations this season.

IU1U picked NEW YORK (AP) North Carolina's inimitable Phil Ford and Marquette's indispensable Butch Lee have been named to The Associated Press 1978 Division I All-America basketball team. Ford and Lee, two of the country's premier guards, were joined on the first team by Minnesota center Mychal Thompson and forwards Larry Bird of Indiana State and David Greenwood of UCLA. Ford scored the highest point total among the five in the nationwide voting by sports writers and broadcasters.

The Tar Heel star collected 906 points based on 5 for the first team and 3 for second. Lee was the second leading point-getter with 866. Thomp-son'collected 686 and Bird 608. Greenwood's 364 just nosed out Portland State's Freeman Williams for first-team honors. The high-scoring Portland State guard amassed 346 points and headed a second team that also featured Jack Givens of Kentucky, Ron Brewer of Arkansas, Alabama's Reggie King and DePaul's Dave Cor-zine.

The third team included Sidney Moncreif of Arkansas; Rod Griffin of Wake Forest; Rick Robey of Kentucky; Ear-vin Johnson of Michigan State and Mike Evans of Kansas Jtate. Ford is the only repeater from last year's first team. Thompson and Lee were on The AP's second team in 1977. Ford, apple of the pro scouts' eyes, is considered to be the best playmaker ever to run Dean Smith's heralded "Four-Corner Offense" at North Carolina. He broke the Tar Heels' career records for scoring and assists this season in his best year ever at Chapel Hill.

"If I had to choose the ideal qualities I want in a guard," says Smith, "the result would be Phil Ford. He's the perfect team player, because of his special blend of talent and desire. I don't know of a guard anywhere in the world who is more suited to the role." While leading North Carolina to the regular-season championship of the Atlantic Coast Conference, Ford averaged nearly 21 points a game and amassed 168 assists.

The Associated Press also incorrectly reported how the networks finished in the ratings, which the television networks regularly distribute to other news media, A.

C. Nielsen ratings, as interpreted by NBC Tuesday, showed ABC first at 21.9, followed by CBS at 19.3 and NBC at 17.9. It would have been the 10th last-pl. ee finish in 14 weeks for NBC. NBC issued a follow-up report Wednesday, saying the research department had goofed ABC was still first at 21 1.

but NBC was second at 18.9 and CBS last at 18. Nielsen says the network ratings mean that in an average prime time minute during the week, 21.1 percent of the homes in the country with TV were tuned to ABC. mm FIR ENTRANCE DOOR Solid firDanel doors with safetv OVERHEAD GARAGE DOORS i installed. goor. $3 WEEKLY SPECIALS Popov Vodka Glenmore Gin ifS9.2oz.
