The 100th and 101st points came on a rebound shot by Doris Draving with foui sec- a i i a i grabbed a rebound off a missed free throw by Lori Dull and banked the ball in off the boards.

A large Koehlcr Fieldhouse crowd cheered wildly as if the Warriors had just won the national title. Coach Jan Jenkins reported that the previous high for an ESSC women's basketball team was 89 poinls againsl Salisbury State two years ago. Jenkins pointed out, however, that the women's game ESSC at Atlanllc Conference meet at Trenton St. SWIMMING Collvtfatfl Women ESSC in EAIAW al Penn Six inducted in golf 'Hall' PINEHURST, N.C, (UPI) Six golfers from Ihe pasl, Ihrce Americans and three Englishmen, Monday were named to Ihe World Golf Hall of Fame by Hall presidenl Don Collcll.

has been made eight minutes longer this season wilh 20 min- ule halves instead of the eight- minute quarters previously played. The Warriors hit the century mark playing Ihe second string almost the entire second half. Draving scored her career high of 19 points, hilling on eight of 13 shots from the floor. Denise Burdick, the team's leading scorer, could have been showered, dressed and back in her dormitory by the time the game ended. Burdick left the game with 23 points right after intermission in another poinl-a-minute performance.

Burdick didn't have the flashiest moves, however. Thai distinction went to Tina Krah who cirove across Ihe middle for hook shots, scored on short jumpers and generally played havoc with Ihe Towson defense in scoring 15 points. Both Bui-dick and Krah ben- efitted from sharp passing from teammates Marianne Herrily, who had a game high of eight assists, Kalhy Flores and Co Brennan and rebounding help from Pal Bracken. The Warriors never trailed although the score was tied at 2-2 in Ihe early going. Then Burdick hit a flurry of seven straight poinls on two free throws, a turnaround shot from Ihe pivot and a three- point play and the outcome was decided.

The halflime margin was 18 poinls at 44-26 wilh Brennan driving for eight poinls. The Warriors outscored their Maryland rivals, 19-4, at the start of the second half with Herrity starting it off. The win was the Warriors' sixth straight and raised the team's record to 8-2. It also was the final home game with the final three contests all on the road at Corlland Slate Wednesday, Immaculata Saturday and West Chester March 4.

Connors owes his current position atop the world of tennis largely to the plethora of controversy he has created, but there hardly could be any question as to his receiving an award as the world's top player in 1974. So Connors didn't talk about that Monday. Instead he discussed the Davis Cup, Ms romance with Chris Evert, his winner-take-all match with Rod Laver and a proposed similar match with John Newcombe. Connors graciously accepted the Martini and Rossi Gold Racquet award as 1974's best, but most of his comments concerned other matters.

About his resumed romance Miss Evert, Connors said, "I'd like to keep that personal. We both would, but it's better this time--now that we're back together--than it was before. And it was great before. I think we both have grown up. But I'd like to keep it on a private, personal plane, even though we both know that's just about impossible." Despite what he said about growing up, Connors continues to nurture his reputation for childish tantrums.

But he has his reasons. Kingsmen meet Foresters in Wayne title playoff CRESCO Pocono Central Catholic gets into the high school basketball playoff picture tonight, but first the Kingsmen must win two straight games over Forest City before they can think of competing outside their own Wayne County League. The Kingsmen fashioned a 5-2 record in the second half of the Wayne league and thus tied Forest City for the Class title in that second half. The two teams now meet tonight at 7:30 p.m. at Western Wayne High School in Varden to decide which team is the second- half Class winner.

Should the Kingsmen defeat the Foresters on the neutral court, they would tie Forest City for the title. Since Forest City was also the first-half winner with a 6-1 record, a second playoff game would then become necessary to determine which team would represent the league as its Class overall champion in the inter-district playoffs. Should a second game be- come necessary, it would also be played at Western Wayne, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Friday. The winner of the overall Class crown is scheduled to advance to face Elk Lake of the Susquehanna League Friday, March 7, at the Scranton Catholic Youth Center.

Pocono Central Catholic sports an overall 11-11 record, including an 8-6 league record. Fran Regan is the Kingsmen's top scorer with 398 points for an average of 18.1 per game. Scott Mackin, the other big man under the boards, has 333 points for an average of 15.1. Jody Fitzsimmons is the Foresters' top gun, with help from Bernie Wellicka and Pat Tedesco. The Foresters won the first- half game with Pocono Central Catholic with a 57-48 decision at Cresco, but the Kingsmen turned the trick by defeating the Foresters, 68-67, at Forest City in the second half, giving each team a victory on the other's home court.

Forest City has compiled an 18-4 overall mark, losing three of the games within their league. North Pocono twice defeated the Foresters, who were the Wayne league overall champions a year ago. The Foresters lost the third game to the Kingsmen. I guess the press exaggerates what I do. Like Saturday in Boca Raton.

I got a little hot in the match with Karl Meiler. counted how many times I said something not nice or raised my little finger," Connors said. "But you know something? When I was nice and polite the way Chris told me to be on Sunday, I think the fans had more fun watching Saturday's match." Connors is more than aware of the value, in dollar and cents, of his reputation for sometimes outrageous behavior. Otherwise, why would he proudly proclaim before a group that included Stan Malless, the U.S. Tennis Association president: "My name is Jimmy Connors, age 23.

I have one goal left in tennis. I want to win the Davis Cup." The United States' embarrassing string of three straight losses in Davis Cup competition is viewed chiefly as a result of Connors' refusals to play. YMCA aquamaids tie JCC STROUDSBURG Rose Hiestand, Kate Kernaghan and Maureen Mullins were triple winners Sunday as the Stroudsburg YMCA girls' swimming team swam to a 104-104 tie with the Wilkes-Barre Jewish Community Center.

Perri Matsko, Judy Dippre, Kim Allen, Kim Reusswig, Mary Ellen Higgins, Julie Ludwig, Terri O'Connor, Gina Pappalardo and Yvetle Lockley each won one event for Stroudsburg.

The Cavaliers, who accumulated a 7-5 league record, are led by top scorer Sue Lambert, who went over the total for her career last Friday against Jim Thorpe and who finished fourth in the Lehigh-Northampton League Northern Division scoring race. The tournament is a single-elimination one, with the Bears and Cavaliers finished should they lose tonight. If the teams win, the Bears will face Allentown Central Catholic of the East Penn League Thursday at an as yet undetermined site and the Cavaliers would meet Dieruff, also of the East Penn League, Thursday at an undetermined site.

Of the seven tournaments played to date on the so-called winter schedule, attendance is up, in some cases dramatically, and PGA officials seemingly are jumping Jor joy. So are some of the sponsors and the charities they support. "We're extremely pleased," says Deane Beman, commissioner of the Tournament Players Division. "This has been a wonderful start especially in a year when other segments of our society are caught in an economic squeeze. The credit for our success to this point certainly goes to our sponsors and the hundreds of volunteers who help put on our tournaments." The tour shifts East this week for four consecutive events in Me Ad oo NBA's top scorer NEW YORK I Buffalo's Bob McAdoo is closing in on his second straight National Basketball Association scoring title as he heads into the final six weeks of the jgular season with a two point per game lead over Golden State's Rick Barry.

McAdoo, the first NBA player to score 2,000 points this season, is averaging 34 points through the first 61 games while Barry is averaging 32 and Milwaukee's Kareem Abdul- Jabbar 30.1. Barry is first in steals with 2.79 per game and second in free throw percentage and seventh in assists. New York's Bill Bradley, with whom Barry traded punches fast week, leads in free throw percentage with a .915 average while Barry is at .900. Don Nelson of Boston retained the field goal percentage lead al.533, Wes Unsold of Washington is the leading reboundcr al 14.8 a game, while Abdul-Jabbar, Kansas City-Omaha's Sam Lacey and I.os Angeles' Happy llairston arc tied for third. Detroit's Dave Ring holds a slim lead in assists wilh 7.G per game, jusl ahead of Washington's Kevin Porter (7.4).

Abdul- Jabbar also leads in blocked shots al 3.23 per game. Buffalo leads the league in offense with a 108.8 average, followed by Golden Slate. Boston, Atlanta and Washington.

Despile the outward success of the pro tour in the West, Beman and the TPD have alienated a number of sponsors over a proposed share-and- share-alike television money package.

The current format calls for each tournamenl with television rights to donate 30 per cent to a common pool. The second stage, to go into effect next year, calls for 50 per cent, and the third stage, to go into effect in 1977, calls for 75 per cent. Sponsors of such events as the Bing Crosby National Pro- Am, Ihe Bob Hope Desert Classic and the Andy Williams- San Diego Open have said flatly they will not give up one cenl more than the current 30 per cent scale. If they have to go higher, they say they will cancel their evenls. Beman in recenl days has backed off a bil from the original plan and says now no provisions for increased television money have been spelled out beyond 30 per cent.

"This is an internal problem and one we will have to solve among ourselves," Beman said, meaning negotiations are going on for a happy solution. Whether he meant it as a threat lo the rebelling sponsors or simply was emphasizing the health of the tour, Beman said there are "at least six sponsors standing by with money to take over an open spot on the schedule, and they can do il on 60-days notice." Still, the Tour lost two events this year and is in imminent danger of losing a Ihird --Ihe Quad Cities Open at Beltendorf, Iowa, scheduled for July 10-13. Warriors' Jenkins in IC4A EAST STROUDSBURG In winning the triple jump for Ihe second siraighl year in the Delaware Invitational Sunday, Lenny Jenkins of East Slrouds- burg Slate College has qualified to compete In the IC4A Indoor Championships March 8-0 nt Princeton Unlvorsily. Jenkins' winning dislancc of wns nol only an ESSC record but il Is well over Ihe IC4A qualifying standard of 40-7. Lasl year, Ihe three-lime All- Amerlcnn finished fiflh In the IC4A Indoor Championships with distance of 49-10'A.

The principal booster of the event is a restaurant chain, which has withdrawn its sponsorship. Unless someone quickly comes up with the money, the event will be canceled this summer. Additionally, while the TPD has put pressure on the celebrity-oriented Wesl Coast events to increase their purses, there are six evenls, including Quad Cities, with purses of less than $150,000. One, the Tallahassee Open, carries a purse of only $60,000. By contrast, the Hawaiian Open has a $220,000 purse, followed by the Dean Marlin- Tucson Open al $200,000, the Crosby at.

$185,000, the San Diego al $170,000, the Hope at $160,000 and the Phoenix and Los Angeles Opens No one at the moment seems certain that the TPD and the West Coast sponsors can get together, but Beman said before heading East the 1976 winter schedule will be released by early June. Stroudsburg girls post gym victory BLA1RSTOWN, N. J.
