(AP) Little girls screamed and wriggled. Grown men roared with glee. The Associated Press college basketball Player of the Year was doing his thing this week at Ayden Grifton High School. Now that North Carolina State's season is over, David Thompson and his senior teammates are barnstorming the tobacco farming towns. And they're packing them in.

For $2 apiece, the folks get to see some of the magic that Thompson, the 11th child of a poor black janitor, used to compile his career scoring average of 26.8 points and break a multitude of scoring records. And they see him unrestricted by the college game's ban on the dunk shot. Thompson, who at 6-4 can leap 42 inches off the floor from a standing start, seems to spend half his time floating. He stuffed the ball from all angles, including behind his head, during the game against a group of former collegians and YMCA players called the Ram Neuse All-Stars. wr 1974-75 team by Assumption teammate Paul Bren-nan, Brian Hammel and AI Grenfel of Bentley and Peter and sacred Heart team- Egan of Hartford.

He smiles, then, ducks his head and dribbles away from the crowd at courtside. College basketball, with no professional rivals in the state, is a winter mania in North Carolina. Thompson is considered the best individual ever to play -the game here, and his popularity is awesome, "I enjoy it pretty much," he said during an interview at halftime. "If it makes the people happy to see me, that's cool.

I was the same way when I was a kid. My heroes were Elgin Baylor, Jerry West and Oscar Robertson." None of those individuals ever was named Player of the Year twice by the AP as Thompson has been. He joins the select company of Jerry Lucas, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Walton in that category, "It's a good honor," he said. "I feel like I've worked hard for it. Those, others though, they're proven players.

It's possible that I could become as good as they are, but I haven't done it yet."

LONDON (AP) Noel Conway thinks he may have set an all-time soccer record.

The fair-haired accounts clerk completed his tally this week by seeing a Fourth Division game at Somerton Park, the home of Newport County. Appropriately for the 26-year-old Irishman, it was on St. Patrick's Day.

"I have planned it all the season that I should visit my 92nd and final stadium on St. Patrick's Day," Conway said. "And it has meant some careful and complex planning, believe The start of the season was hectic. He used his vacation to see four and five games a week. By the end of October, he had covered 50 of the 92 grounds on his list.

"After that it was easier," he said. "I've seen some good soccer, and I've seen some bad soccer too, especially in the Fourth Division," the Dublin native said. "But I never left any game more than five minutes before the end, even when the football was tl Conway planned to see the Arsenal-Newcastle game in the First Division Tuesday.
