Lost were third baseman Wayne Garrett, drafted by the New York Mets, and tall, young right-handed pitcher Dennis Dalton, claimed by the Washington Senators. Both were on the Braves' AAA Richmond roster. Tompkins could win a job immediately on the Braves' pitching staff as a reliever. He's a 24-year-old, 6-5, 200-pounder who was once considered an outstanding prospect. Last season at Cincy's Indianapolis club, Tompkins was 8-7 as a starter and reliever with a 3.53 earned-run average.

People up our way, and all over the South apparent ly, are getting excited about it Bruins Lead UPI, Also NEW YORK (UPI)-To hardly anyone's surprise, UCLA, seeking to become the first team in history to win three consecutive NCAA championships, was the unanimous choice Monday for the No. 1 spot in United Press International's pre-season college basketball ratings.

The Law Alcindor-led Bruins, who finished second to Houston in last season's final UPI ranking after losing a regular season game to the Cougars, Atlanta has come up with a good one. By TOM DIAL Michigan State's soccer Spartans got into the semi-finals of the NCAA tournament last Saturday by the skin of their teeth, as the saying goes, The Spartans battled Westchester College to a 2-2 tie in regulation play and through four overtimes and were finally awarded the game on corner kicks. Michigan State is the defending national champion since last year's co-winner, St. Louis University, was eliminated before the quarter finals. But the Spartans get a tough test in the first game Thursday night (6:00 p.m.) on Grant Field when they duel Brown University which blasted Army 3-1 Saturday in the quarterfinals.

Brown is the New England representative while Michigan State carries the Midwest's banner. From the Far West comes San Jose State College of California which slipped by Air Force 1-0 Saturday. And Maryland, the South's semi-finalists, will fill the other berth opposite San Jose at 8:30 p.m. Thursday. TD CLUB folks said I was extravagant after we lost to Georgia (21-20) when the Bulldogs were ranked 11th in saying, 'If there are 10 better teams than Georgia we have the greatest football now America has ever said DETROIT (AP) Paul Seymour took over the reins of the sagging Detroit Pistons of the National Basketball Association Monday but says he hasn't had a chance to decide what changes he will make.

General Manager Edwin Coil announced that Seymour, 41, would be the head coach in place of Donnis Butcher because "we felt that we weren't getting the full potential out of our players this season." Seymour, speaking in a telephone interview from his home in Syracuse, N.Y., said he was told of his new job Sunday when he got a call from Coil. "He said we'd discuss things later" Seymour said. "As far as the team is concerned I don't TEAM points Dietzel. "Now (since Georgia won the SEC title) I guess most of them agree with me. Georgia is an exceptionally fine foot a sleeper with his future before him.

Because of military obligations, according to the Braves, lefty-hitting Evans has played sparingly since he was signed by the A's in 1967. He batted .211 in 56 games at AA Birmingham (Southern) last season. Dalton, a hard-throwing youngster of whom the Braves had high hopes, was the second pick of the entire draft. He was 0-1 at Greenwood (Western Car-olinas) last year. Garrett batted .240 at Shreve-port (Texas).

Incidentally, the Braves choosing Athletics-signed properties is not unprecedented. A few years back they took a fellow name of Felix Millan for a mere $8,000. On a minor league level, the Braves and Houston engineered a deal which outfielder Sandy Valdespino to the Astros' Oklahoma City club for left-handed pitcher Paul Doyle, who was played on the Richmond roster.

Concerning possible changes he added: "I haven't given it any thought We'll go pretty much the way we have, except we should get some more scoring out of the pivots and I may change the offense a little bit." Detroit, which stands 10-12 and is in fifth place in the Eastern Division of the NBA has won only three of its last nine starts.

Seymour was Baltimore's head coach during the 1965-66 season when the Bullets finished in second place. He resigned to devote more time to his family and business interests in Syracuse. He started his professional basketball career as a player with Baltimore in 1947. After being sold to the Syracuse Nationals he became an all-star guard and served as player-coach in the final four seasons of an 11-year career with the Nats. ball team.

A 1-500. Falcons Win At the Gate The Falcons, in spite of their poor National Football League record, will draw an average of more than 50,000 fans per game at Atlanta Stadium for the third straight season. Bill Brokaw, Falcons' ticket chief, said Monday that although tickets still may be bought for remaining 1968 games with Detroit and San Francisco the next two Sundays here Atlanta will finish with an average gate of between 50,000 and 55,000. The Falcons drew an average of "right at" 56,500 here in 1966, and 55,000 in 1967. ROBERTS.

Scottdalc Set For Finale Two DcKalb County football teams of the Atlanta Amateur Football League the Scottdale Bears and the Kirkwood Rams-will meet head-on for the Empty Stocking Bowl championship at Decatur High Scnool stadium Saturday, December 7th, at 1:30 p.m. in what promises to be a hard-hitting, bruising finale to the league's 1968 season. Neither of the teams figured in the AAFL championship game held earlier on November 17, although the Kirkwood Rams were in a playoff prior to the championship event. "A rivalry has sort of developed because of a season win by the Bears over the Rams. Then the Kirkwood team came up with a better season record.

So the players on the two De-Kalb teams just want to settle the matter," said a league official. "And then, I think both teams really want to hit a little longer, if the truth be known," he added.
