BRING HOME 20 MEDALS AND 51 RIBBONS IT swim team sixth in state Secret workout by Clay NEW YORK (AP) Cassius Clay says he will have a secret workout today to wind up his training for his title defense against Zora Folley at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night. According to the announcement from Clay's camp, the unbeaten champion wants another drill to further prepare for Folley's left hooks to the body. Clay, a 5-1 favorite, needs a secret workout as much as billion dollar loan.

For a change the champion hasn't predicted the round he expects to end the scheduled 15- rounder. Clay says his Wednesday fight could be his last fight for a long time.

(Sun Photo) MARINE RUNNERUP Jacksonville title to Sikes By RON SPEERS Associated Press Sports Writer JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) Dan Sikes has convinced his hometown friends that he is the city's best golfer, and now he would like to show officials of the prestige-packed Masters that he belongs in that tournament. The 36-year-old Jacksonville lawyer bolstered his bid for an invitation to the Masters by winning the Jacksonville Open Sunday, and now ranks fourth among the contenders for two vacancies at the Augusta, tournament.

Sikes, $20,000 richer after winning the third tournament in his seven-year career as a pro, hopes to nail down a bid with top finishes in the Pensacola, and Greensboro, N.C., tournaments. "My putting has really been good," Sikes said after taking the Jacksonville title by a stroke over 38-year-old Bill Collins, club pro at Purchase, N.Y. Sites' finishing 73 gave him a 72-hole total of 279. Collins, 38-year-old ex-Marine trying to make a comebaqk on the tour, won $12,000 for his second-place 230 after a closing 67, five-under par.

A 5-11 senior, "Terrible Ter a nickname tagged on i by flustered opponents, was named by Conde Sargent along with three Class A standouts and an all-around Class performer. Rounding out the All-State team as selected by Sargent, are: Wally Winter, 6-3 Lincoln NE senior; David Allen, 6-3 Omaha South senior; Dwaine Dillard, 6-5 Omaha Central junior; and from Class Hol- drsge's senior, Ivan Young. As Bob Gates, athletic director at John J. Pershing Col- lege, put it during the state Class Tournament, "Egger is the best all-around eager in the state, regardless of class or size." In addition to leading Sprague-Martell to the Class championship, young Egger carved his name in state and district basketball anais.

Of young all-stat-er Egger, Scribe Sargent has this to 'say: "The Sprague-Martell ace was not selected for his as good as it was nor for his rebounding which was astounding, but not impossible in Class ball.

HOUSTON GETS SET FOR GAME AGAINST 'LEW' By DICK COUCH Associated Press Sports Writer Guy Lewis still thinks UCLA is headed for a fall, but the Houston basketball coach isn't sure his Cougars are mean enough to push the Bruins off their summit perch. "We lack the killer instinct, and I don't know if that will be fatal against UCLA or not," Lewis said Sunday as the Cougars began preparing for their NCAA tournament date with the unbeaten, top-ranked Bruins Friday night.

The second half of the semifinal doubleheader at Louisville, pits North Carolina's slick young Tar Heels against surprising Dayton. Lewis, who predicted UCLA "will get beat" before his club earned the task of confronting the Bruins and 7-fopt-l Lew Alcindor, could promise only one thing Sunday: Houston won't settle for a standoff. "I haven't decided how we'll play them," he said, "but we definitely won't try any control game on them. We don't even practice a delay. We think we have enough talent to get the ball in the hole against any team." Elvin (Big E) Hayes heads Houston's talent parade and Lewis hopes the 6-foot-8 pivot- man, whose 31 points triggered the Cougars' 83-75 victory over Southern Methodist in last Saturday night's NCAA Midwest regional final, will prove the Big Equalizer against UCLA prodigy Alcindor.

Big Lew poured in 38 points as the Bruins ousted University of Pacific 80-64 in the Far West regional for their 28th straight victory. "Hayes is even greater this season because he has confidence in his shooting, from anywhere on the court," Lewis said. "He really took charge in the closing minutes against SMU." The Houston All-America scored 20 points in the second half, most of them from to offset a furious SMU rally that wiped out a 14-point deficit. KNIGHTS HANG ON OMAHA Omaha Knights hung onto a slim chance for a first place finish in the Central Hockey League this weekend with a 3-1 victory over the Tulsa Oilers. The Knights' Bruan Campbell got two of the Omaha goals and Gary Sabourin had the third.

The only Oiler goal came with 18 seconds of the game gone on an unassisted goal by Defense- mail Marc Reaume. NIT title to So. Ill By DICK COUCH Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) The gleam in Walt Frazier's eye is as bright as his basketball future when Southern Illinois' 6- foot-3 sparkplug talks about his 12-pound protege. "My son will be four weeks old tomorrow," Frazier said after pacing the Salukis to the National Invitation Tournament championship last Saturday. "He weighed eight pounds, nine ounces when he was born but the last time I checked he was up to 12 pounds.

"He might be a football player. I'll just let him make his own decision." Whatever course Walt Frazier III chooses to follow in time to come he figures prominently in Walt Frazier II's plans for the immediate future. The Southern Illinois star, who earned the NIT's Most Valuable Player Award with 21 points, 11 rebounds and five assists in the Salukis' 71-56 conquest of Marquette for the tithe, must decide soon whether to play next season as a collegian or a professional. Frazier, a junior, is eligible for next month's National Basketball Association draft because his college class graduates this year. The Atlanta native sat out the 1965-66 season because of scholastic difficulties.

But he has come back to lead the Salukis to their finest season ever (24-2) and gain Little All-America honors. "I don't know yet what I'll do," he said. "I want to finish school, but I need money now that I've got a family. My ambition is to be a pro." Frazier, operating with equal efficiency fro either the back- court the corner or underneath the basket, scored 88 points in the Salukis' four-game sweep to the title and also had 52 rebounds and 19 assists PLAYOFF STARTS TUESDAY Knicks meet Celtics TWO FLAMINGO FOULS HIALEAH, Fla.
