USF athletic director Dr. Richard Bowers said the university has received a private donation of $30,000 and will match that figure to begin building the six courts.

Bowers said Texas consultant Jack Kamrath, who has desinged numerous collegiate tennis complexes, has gone over the USF site and will present a design to the university within four days. "I'm confident we are going to have the kind of facility here that will help us attract the kind of talent to put South Florida with the best in collegiate tennis," said Bowers. He added he expects construction to begin within a month on the courts and grandstand facility. JIMMY BACK ON TOP Jimmy Connors, No. 1 in the world in 1974 only to be replaced by Arthur Ashe last year, has regained his top ranking in the annual World Tennis Magazine international rankings.

Ashe, whose stunning win over Connors in the 1975 Wimbledon Championships put him on top, fell completely out of the magazine's first 10 poll. Connors, 24, captured the U.S. Open at Forest Hills and the U.S. Pro Indoor Championship and won 13" of 23 tourneys in regaining his No. 1 world ranking.

Bjorn Borg, the 20-year-old Swede, moved up to second. Borg captured the World Championship of Tennis (WCT) for the third straight year and when he beat Hie Nastase for the Wimbledon crown appeared to have the No. 1 ranking sewed up. But he lost to Connors twice and when the American beat him in the finals at Forest Hills he lost his chance. Third place went to Nastase, the explosive Romanian who at times appeared to have the talent to dominate any player around.

Despite mental lapses, Nastase had his best year since winning Forest Hills in 1973, winning seven tourneys and getting to the finals of Wimbledon and the semis of the U.S. Open. Guillermo Vilas, the bull-like netter from Argentina, moved into the fourth spot aftr winning three Grand Prix tournaments, three WCT events and getting to the semifinals of the U.S. Open. Rounding out the top five is Mexican Davis Cup star Raul Ramirez, who finished the year on top of the Grand Prix point standings.

Ramirez won four tourneys, got to the semis at Wimble- NHL Sailing FORA COLLEGE don and Forest Hills, and led his underdog Davis Cup team oyer the United States. Manuel Orantes, winner of the Masters tourney in Houston last weekend, was ranked sixth. Others in the top ten are (7) Eddie Dibbs of Miami, (8) Harold Solomon of Pompano Beach, driano Panatta of Italy, and (10) Roscoe Tanner of Lookout Tenn. GRAND SLAM TO FLORIDA Boca West will be the site of the Grand Slam of Tennis Jan. 22, 23, it was announced today by promoter Roger Hall.

The Boca Raton tourney, which pits the winners of the year's major ments, already has signed Jimmy Connors, Adriano Panatta and Manuel Orantes to play. Panatta captured the French and Italian championships, Connors won the U.S. Open at Forest Hills, and last weekend Orantes won the Grand Prix Masters in Houston. Prize money for the three-day event will total $200,000. TWO MORE FOR SLIMS Two more players have been added for the Jan.

10-16 Virginia Slims of Florida at the Hollywood Sportatorium. Veteran Betty Stove of the Netherlands and Mima Jausovec of Yugoslavia, ranked seventh in the world last year, have both entered the field for the $100,000 event. Already entered is Chris Evert, selected as the Sports Illustrated Sportswoman of the Year and winner of both Wimbledon and the United States Open this year. Others include Virginia Wade, Rosemary Casals, Olga Morozova, Natasha Chemeyeava and Sue Barker. Advance ticket reservations are available by calling (305) 587-6030.

DAVIS CUP DOUBLES Stan Smith said yesterday he thinks there is a good chance this weekend's Davis Cup match with Mexico in Tucson could come down to the final doubles match. With Mexico's Raul Ramirez favored to beat Arthur Ashe and Roscoe Tanner in his two singles matches, and the Americans favored to win the other two singles against whomever the Mexicans use, the winner could come in the doubles.

Otto column By FRANK KLEIN Times Sports Editor Wheel chair basketball around these parts has been mostly for the boys. But not any more. Meet the Southern Belles, the first women's wheel chair basketball team in the South, so far ahead of the rest of the gals they can find no outside competition. But there is some business coming at the National Wheel Chair Tournament in April that calls for creation of a women's division. That is in April and a women's national tourney follows in Detroit.

Those two developments may see formation of additional teams in the South. The Belles surely hope so. Their competition thus far has been against the Florida Wheels, in practice sessions at that rickety, old eyesore they call Trailer Park Gym just east of Rome Avenue in West Tampa. Or when the Tampa Bay men's team from St. Petersburg or an Orlando men's team comes to town to play the Wheels, the visitors will engage the Belles in a scrimmage.

Al Orr, coach of the Wheels, got the girls organized last August, when they held a first practice. Carole Bitterman, a pretty brunette who had been a member of the Wheels, helped in the talent roundup. Indeed, it was Carole's work in track and field that sent her to the Wheel Chair Track and Field Olympics in Toronto last year and helped bring in one of the six members of the Belles. She is Glee Lyford. Both came back with a handful of medals.

Carole won gold medals in the shot putt and jave- lin, breaking the shot putt mark by 21 inches and tossing the javelin 35 feet. Try doing either from a sit down position. Glee, at the U. S. Nationals, won two golds and three silvers.

She's from New Hampshire and plans to enroll at the University of South Florida (USF). The rest of the Southern Belles are Pam Kane, Judy Barnard, Diane Reese and Bonnie Nicolodi. Orr, their coach, is a 30-year-old Californian who is a corrective therapist at the local Veterans Administration hospital. He also coaches the wheel chair track and field competitors in the area and they come from as far away as Sarasota to train here. The track competitors (most in field events) will start training Feb.

1 at USF. Finding a suitable place for the wheel chair basketballers has been something of a problem. The Trailer Park Gym area is poorly lighted, hard to get to and comfort facilities are inadequate. Orr has inquired about using the basketball court at the State Mental Health facility at 30th and Fletcher. Because of lack of funds, it goes unused most of the time, says Orr, and officials there shy at the thought of mixing physically handicapped with mentally handicapped.

One thing's for sure, says Orr. All but one of the Belles are college graduates and the other is on the way to a degree. "Our girls are not handicapped mentally." They only lack a decent practice site and competition. from page one Why would over 50,000 pile into the stadium at the beginning, and cheer a fairly healthy expansion team as it bumbled through loss after loss; and then at the end of the year when they limped out to try and stay with a playoff-bound team jeer them so? However, football crowds seem like tapioca pudding compared to basketball crowds I've seen the last couple of-years. There's always been the problems of enclosed, tight-fitting gyms, where the crowd is on top of what is a pressure- packed game to begin with.

Officials are never right, and coaches feel obliged to stand up and pout, scream, stomp, rant, rave or do whatever they're famous for whenever one of their boys is, as is always the case, unjustly accused of fouling the other guy. It's gotten to the point where fans feel like a coach isn't doing his job if a member of his team commits a foul and his coach doesn't howl to the heavens in indignation. In the major college arenas the crowds have become almos't as much a factor as the teams themselves, intimidating not only the visiting team, but the officials as well. It's an understandable thing. The theory when you're working in the press section is to disassociate yourself with the emotions of the fans screaming behind you; but that's nonsense.

It's impossible not to be affected by the intensity of the chants and feelings of often 10,000 people crowded into an arena. And it's easy to see why the crowd is just as much a participant in a sporting event as the officials and often the players. There have been times when 1'rrj ii a crowd and afl of a sudden they're boo ing when I have no feelings at all, yet suddenly I want to boo with the rest jaf them; or cheer, or gasp, or whatever At a pro football game when scores of other games are given over the lourT-speaker, there's always a sudden ooh or ahhh, even if it's San Diego beating Atlanta, 7-6, in a sleeper; people just feel like reacting in a crowd. It's a strange beast, this thing called a crowd, a creature of emotion, yet not always its own.

(AP) The University of Texas may get a new football coach today if the seven-member selection committee votes agreement at its meeting, university president Dr. Lorene Rogers "I would say the announcement could come late Wednesday but more likely early Thursday," she told the Austin American-Statesman. "I think we'll reach a concensus on the man we want. I think we have interviewed everyone we're going to although of course if someone on the committee feels we should interview someone else, then the selection could be delayed."
