By Don ForsytJte Journal Sports Editor One of the four teams in the semifinals of the Holiday Festival Basketball Tournament is ICth-ranked Western Kentucky and no one's more surprised than Hilltopper Coach John Oidham.

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 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.

"St. John's is a darn good team," he said. "I knew they were good when they beat Vanderbilt in the Vanderbilt Classic Monday night.

"The trouble was we knew that ville had beaten St. Peter's earlier," he said, referring to the Dolphins runaway -152-106 Miami, Fla. As offensive linemen go, LSU guard Mike Demarie is a runt.

As a matter of fact, the 5-10, 215-pound junior is a runt in his own family. "I guess I take after my mother's side," he smiles, "and my brothers take jJler my fatha's side." Older brother John, now in his fourth year with the Cleveland Browns, is 6-3 and 255 pounds. Younger brother Gregory, just 15 years old, is already a six footer. "He'll be the tallest of any of us," predicts Mike. Although he's not a physical giant Mike plays like one.

He was on the all-Southeastern Conference sophomore team last year and a second team all-SEC choice this year. An even better indication as to his effectiveness is his finishing third in the balloting for the SEC's Jacobs Blocking Trophy, given annually to the best interior lineman in the conference. Tigers' Offense Coming Strong Demarie isn't a principal in the matchup of the explosive Nebraska attack and the stout LSU defense. He's involved in that other battle between the less heralded LSU offense and Nebraska defense. In his mind, mat's as essential to the outcome of the game as anything.

"Our offense jelled late this year. It was a lot different than last relates. The Tigers, much like Nebraska a year ago, have a young off ense. "We had a lot of squad men back, but none of us had played side by side," says Mike. "Last year; when I started as a sophomore, it was easy for me to adjust to four men.

This year four men had to adjust to me. 1 1 "The Notre Daime game had to be our worst exhibition on offense, but the last three games have been good ones for us. When you experience a lot of points you get confidence in your offense and we have it now," says Mike. A Calls LSU Defense Toughest 1 Demarie admits it's tough to get confidence when you have to practice against the LSU defense in spring practice and fall camp. "We scored just one touchdown against the defense during our two-a-day drills this fall," he relates.

Needless to say he figures the Tiger defense is the best he's ever played against. The heart of it lies in defensive tackles John Sage and Ronnie Estay, who Demarie has faced on countless occasions. "Sage has great quickness. Estay is quick, but his big asset is his strength," he indicates. Demarie isn't ready to put Nebraska's defense on the same level with LSU, but he says the Cornhuskers have "a fine defense." "They stunt quite a bit so I've had to study three players Jerry Murtaugh, Ed Periard and Larry Jacobson instead of just one.

Most of the teams we've played I just have to worry about the linebacker," says the LSU right guard. Although he's seen more films on Nebraska than any other team the Tigers met Mike admits there's still more to be learned. "I'll just have to see what I can do best," he says. Baltimore Respects First Round Play Resumes at Big 8 AFC Playoff Foe Press blitz counts mighty seven victims this the reason for a half, left the floor at the intermission with a 44-38 advantage and promptly began to break the game open in the early second of the second half when Bud Stallworth hit. two quick baskets.

Before four minutes had passed, the Jayhawks had built a 5543 lead. During that spell, Missouri got only one field goal. Stallworth, with his clutch baskets, and Roger Brown, with his shooting and daring around the basket, were too much for Missouri, 7-3. Stallworth finished with a career high of 28 points and had 10 rebounds. It was the seventh time in eight games that Stallworth has paced the Kansas scoring.

Brown made 17 points and led the rebounding with He was one the big reasons the Tigers made only four field goals in the second half. Henry Smith made 17 points for Smith and sophomore John Brpwn rallied Missouri from nine points back into a momentary 26-25 lead at one stage of the first half. That was the only time the Tigers led. Coach Ted Owens of Kansas said he thought "our size would get 'em in the second half" if the Jayhawks had any kind of lead at the intermission. Missouri coach Norm Stewart said that "when you play a team like Kansas, vou have to have more patience.

They had more firepower, and you have to wait for the goqd shot. I've been telling the team that all along but they're young, and when you're young and when you're winning, messages don't come across well. I think they got the message tonight."

That may not sound like a lot for most teams, but it is for them. "That's a heck of a streak for us," Coach Bill Fitch said Sunday night after his tattered expansion club beat the Philadelphia 76ers 114-101 in the National Basketball Association Sunday night. The victory was extra sweet, for it was also the Cavalier's first success over an established team. "We take all our defeats together and now we're going to take the victories," said Fitch, whose club's mark still is a painful 5-37. Chicago beat San Diego 110-101; Los Angeles belted Phoenix 128-110; Portland spilled Boston 135-123 and New York tripped Baltimore 110-105 in Sunday's other NBA games.

The personable, good-humored coach, who fined the Cavaliers a dollar a point when the 76ers beat them 141-87 on Nov, 2, gave the $54 back Sunday Joe Cooke, who had one of his worst games in that last Philadelphia flogging, came off the bench and helped the Cavaliers win their latest. "I imagine he feels as good tonight as he felt bad the last time," said Fitch.

Bob Love pitched in 32 points for Chicago, scoring 13 in the final quarter to keep the Bulls ahead, of San Diego. The Rockets managed to tie it at 94, but Love threw in 10 of the Bulls' next 14 to put it away. Jerry West led Los Angeles with 35 points and 14 assists and Wilt Chamberlain added 28 points and Happy Hairston, 22. Neal Walk had 20 for Phoenix. Portland hit 60 per cent from the field in the first quarter and rolled past Boston behind Geoff Petrie's 31 points and Walt Frazier scored five straight points in the final 90 seconds to break a tie for New York.

Police said Custardo was locked out of his apartment when he returned home early Christmas Day.

Hospital attendants said he was in intensive care after brain surgery. He also suffered a fractured back.

Baltimore UP) The Baltimore Colts have nothing but respect for the Oakland Raiders, their opponents in next Sunday's American Football Conference championship game. Speaking mostly in platitudes, the Colts nevertheless praised the Raiders after viewing their televised 21-14 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Sunday's playoff semifinals. The Colts, who will have the advantage of playing the title game at home, reached the championship round a day earlier by blanking the Cincinnati Bengals 17-0.
