34 College Hoop cache RED SMITH iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiniiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiia Gotham Locks Shun 24-Second Rule mm College basketball needs no restrictions on defense and doesn't need a time-limit on shooting. That was the opinion of an overwhelming number of coaches 'at Thursday's college basketball luncheon at the Smith House. rjJ 'V zones The shooting Is too good to assign defensive) territories Everyone is playing combinations, now." And finally, a dissenting voice, Tom Smith, Babson: "I'm in favor of the 24-second rule." The leading basketball scorers locally are: Boston College, John Austin, 29.5; Tufts, Jim Claffee, 18.5; Brandeis, Barry Zimmerman, 22.5 MIT, Bob Hardt, 20.2; Harvard, Keith Sedlacek, 18.4; Bentley, Benton Sheffield, 13.6.

Dick Dukeshire, Northeastern: "To restrict defenses in basketball would be as silly as trying to legislate defenses in pro football Whether they admit it or not, the pro's play zones Look at how many times they keep three men between the ball and the hoop." Hubie LeBlanc, Brandeis: "A time limit on shooting? We don't have the ball that long." Jack Barry, MIT: "I don't believe in restrictions on defense or time limits on shooting." John Burke, B.U.: "The varied defenses of college basketball make the collegiate game greater each year." Jim Twohig, Salem State: 'There should be no time limit And zones? I've coached for 27 years and never used one and I can't remember the last time we lost to a zone." Jim Loscutoff, Boston State: "I'm all for zones, but I'd like to see them abolished in high schools." Charlie Law, Suffolk "In the true sense there are no for contract signing.

Holiday aroma doubles pipe pleasure Barn on Colt NEW YORK There is a firm in Waco, that turns out 200 saddles a week and can't begin to keep up with the demand because the country has gone daffy about horses. Some authorities attribute the craze to the flood of westerns on television but kids of all eras, country kids and cityalways have loved to ride. "I remember," Zenas Colt was saying at lunch, "when I was a boy in New England and spent every hour I could riding around the country with a paL We'd jog along fighting Indians or planning holdups, but the stage coach never happened along at the right time. "Once we stopped at a farm house and knocked. We told the lady of the house, 'we're with the United States Calvalry and we're She said, 'the cavalry, eh? how about a plate of Ultimately Zenas Colt did join the cavalry, or at least the National Guard so he could play polo in the Squadron A armory.

Now he and his mounted com- panions are worried. They're still playing every Saturday night in Squadron A but the old barn is coming down soon to make room for a school and after that there'll hardly be a spot in the greatest city in the world where a pony can set a hoof down. To men like Zenas Colt and Russell Drowne and George Skakel and others who think indoor pol6 is worth saving, this seems a tragedy. Probably it is. Police horses stabled in the armory are going to be moved to a remodeled garage on the West Side.

The Park Department maintains miles of bridle paths, but the only place left in Manhattan with a peg. to hang a bridle on is a stable in the West 80s. If they don't gamble at Aqueduct, Roosevelt or Yonkers, millions of New Yorkers can live through the year without ever seeing a horse unless they happen into a neighborhood patrolled by a mounted cop. "We're reasonably sure we'll be able to use Squadron A through March," Curly Harris said Thursday, "and after that we can play outdoors. Next year? well, there's Squadron in Brooklyn, which is full of tanks and material now but maybe it'll be available next year." "I've played there," Colt said.

"It's pretty far out." "I'd manage to get there," Drowne said. "Everybody in this game has to work for a living but some of us could manage to get to Convention Hall in Atlantic City on Saturdays and if we had a television sponsor we could play there without worrying about drawing crowds. But we'd still need some place to practice and a place to stable the horses." "Indoor polo is bigger than any armory Colt said. "Somebody will find a way to keep it alive. Incidentally, I hope to get down to Houston next month to see a match in the Astrodome.

They're lining up the six best indoor players in the country and the game will be on television live. I expect the players' handicaps will average eight goals a man, 24 for each team." -'Think of it," Drowne said, "forty-eight goals In one hall." I He spoke almost reverently, like one of those abominable snowmen solemnly assuring his lady love that "skiing is a way of life." Russ Drowne isn't, kidding about polo. He played a match on his wedding day. Polo has always been regarded as a rich man's 4 game, though it was enormously popular with the general public in the days when international stars played regularly on Long Island. In that time, Frank Graham said to a 10-oal player: "In most sports, it's the legs that go first as a man grows older but polo players compete sitting down.

What goes first in your game?" "The money," he was told in perfect honesty. A man doesn't have to be rich, though, to play indoors. He can get by with two ponies, and in today's economy any man willing to work hard enough to support a blonde could feed two ponies instead. Deep thinkers have attributed the popularity of football by saying it is the sports world's closest approach to war. Deeper thinkers concede this as far as trench warfare is concerned but argue that polo is the real Balaklava McCoy.

"The greatest game played with a ball," the late Tom O'Reilly called it. "What's the best game played without a ball?" he was asked. "Horse racing," he said, showing where he stood.

teams previously had picked off the Chargers' fourth choice, halfback Charles Brown of Syracuse; their fifth choice, Miami halfback Russ Smith, and their eighth selection, linebacker Doug Buffone of Louisville. Brown and Buffone signed with Chicago while Smith went with Atlanta. The Falcons now have signed five of their first six selections, including the big one linebacker Tommy Nobis. In addition, they also have signed two of Rassas Notre Dame teammates, receiver Phil Sheridan and halfback Bill WolskL Morin was the 11th of 16 first-round selections to be corraled by the N.F.L., which has lost only one top choice. Three other No.

The A.F.L., on the other hand, has signed five of its 10 first-round picks and lost three to the N.F.L. Grabowski and Mississippi halfback Mike Dennis still have not signed.

(By The Associated Press) National Football League teams, throwing a 1-2-3 combination from coast to coast, have beaten the American League's San Diego Chargers to their top three draft choices Don Davis, Nick Rassas and Milt Morin. Within an hour Thursday the N.F.L. had pulled off the rapid-fire coup this way: Davis, a 255-pound defensive tackle from Los Angeles State, was signed by the New York Giants, who had selected him as their No. 2 pick. Rassas, an All-America defensive back at Notre Dame, signed in Atlanta with the N.F.L.'s new Falcons, who had made him a second-round selection.

Morin, a 6-foot-4, 245-pound receiver from the University of Massachusetts, signed in New York with the Cleveland Browns, who had tapped him as their No. 1 choice. No salary figures were announced, but all were believed to be in the six-figure class. The signings continued the N.F.L.'s raid on the San Diego club, added to Atlanta's impressive collection of talent and gave the Tufts 87 Middlebury 78 Amateurs Set 12-Bout Show A 12-bout amateur boxing card in all classes from 112 to heavyweight, both open and novice divisions, will be staged at the Arena Annex Monday evening by the Hub A C.

Arnold Auerbach, that subtle old flatterer of the Boston Celtics, invited Sharman to shoot some baskets at practice. In his street shoes and with his tie on, Sharman outshot most of the guards the Celts had. It was a lot easier outfield to break into, and Sharman went on to become the deadliest shooter in that game and probably the deadliest 6-1 shooter it will ever see. I ran into Bill Sharman at the Olympian Motel on Olympic blvd. the other day, where Bill was shopping around photographs of his new Palm Desert Golf Club, of which he is general manager.

The Syracuse team enters its fifth season of amateur competition against teams from the United States and Canada. The Stars won 49 straight a few years back and have defeated the U.S. National and Olympic teams in recent years. Last year Syracuse almost pulled off one of the biggest upsets in amateur hockey. It lost to the touring Russian National team, 7-5, but led at the end of two periods, 5-3.

Fiori Goegan is the player-coach of the team and one of the original members of the Stars. He is the brother of Pete Goegan who played for the Detroit Red Wings.
