By JOE CARNICELLI ITPI Sports Writer UCLA's young Bruins had their first big test Thursday night and passed it with flying colors. The No. 1 ranked Bruins, taking on their toughest 'opponent of the season thus far, clobbered sixth-ranked Ohio State, 79-53, to win their own Bruin Classic. UCLA surged to an 11-1 lead in the first four minutes and then opened up a 23-point lead in the first half before BUI Walton, the Bruins' Moot-11 sophomore center, ran into foul trouble. Ohio State closed the gap to 43-38 in the second half before their 6-11 center, Luke Witte, also ran into foul trouble.

The Bruins then surged to a 22- point advantage before Coach John Wooden inserted his subs. Walton, who played only 18 minutes, managed 14 points and had 12 rebounds and six blocked shots before the half. Witte led Ohio State, now 7-2, with 19 points. The victory was the eighth without this season for the Bruins, who failed to surpass the 100-point mark for the first time. VUlanova Upsets S.C.

South Carolina, unbeaten and ranked third in the nation, didn't fare so well. Tom Ingksby, who finished with 28 points, sank two free throws with six seconds left as loth- ranked VUlanova upset the Gamecocks, 77-76, to win the Quaker City Tournament. South Carolina had battled back from a nine-point deficit to go ahead on Kevin Joyce's basket with 27 seconds left, but Inglesby was fouled in the act of shooting and converted the two free throws. Tom Riker had 28 points for South Carolina and Joyce added 16. Jim O'Brien scored 20 points and soph Len Elmore, named the tournament's Most Valuable Player, had 18 rebounds as 14th-ranked Maryland stunned No.

8 St. John's (N.Y.), 9046, to win the Maryland Invitational. Maryland, with Elmore dominating the boards, moved out to a 44-32 lead at the half and was never in trouble. Bill Schaeffer had. 19 points to lead St.

Plus 3 Cartoons Press Eait International MAN OF THE YEAR ST. LOUIS sional golfer Lee Trevino was named Sport's Man of the Year The only wrong prediction in the four playoffs last weekend was the pick of K.C. over Miami and considering that it took six quarters to determine a winner in that one, I must consider last weekend's picks successful. These three days will feature so many games on television that the average TV fanatic might need to go the eye doctor when it's all over. The action begins with the Gator Bowl this afternoon and ends with the AFC championship on Sunday afternoon, with seven games in between those two.

Now for the predictions. North Carolina vs. Georgia (Gator Bowl) This game features the battle between the brothers Dooley, Vince who coaches Georgia and Jim who coaches the Tarheels. Georgia has a very strong defense and a steady offense led by running quarterback Andy Johnson and halfback Jimmy "The Greek" Poulos. The Tarheels were very strong inside the ACC but Georgia might have the edge because of stronger Georgia 24, North Carolina 14 Colorado vs.

Houston (Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl) The Buffs played third fiddle to Oklahoma and Nebraska all season. They rolled over almost everyone butthose two. Houston will have the advantage of playing in its own Jack ydrd'but Colorado still appears to be the better Colorado 20 Texas vs. Perm State (Cotton Bowl) -1 have been scanning the list for an upset and this one appears to be a likely candidate. I still think Penn State is a lot better than they showed against Tennessee.

The Longhorns are still the better team with a healthy Eddie Phillips so I pick them but beware of the Texas 21, Penn St. 20 Oklahoma vs. Auburn (Sugar Bowl) This game is not going to be as close as some people think. Oklahoma has a very powerful offense and a more than adequate defense. The only Auburn chance rests on the ability to score quickly and open up the game behind Heisman winner Pat Sullivan.

The Sooners are just too powerful for the Tigers Oklahoma 42, Auburn 27 Stanford vs. Michigan (Rose Bowl) John Ralston's team has only played well in the games that meant something. For this reason the Rose Bowl will be a good ball game. The Wolverines feature super- runner Billy Taylor and will come out on top 24, Stanford 13 Nebraska vs. Alabama (Orange Bowl) The college biggie.

I could goon and on giving reasons why either club can win. Nebraska has a devastating offense led by Jerry Tagge and Jeff Kinney and a solid defense anchored by Larry Jacobson and Rich Glover. Alabama has a healthy Johnny Musso and a very underrated Terry Davis at quarterback. The Tide also has a good defense and the Bear, Coach Bear Bryant. I think Nebraska is not going to let their national standing and long winning streak slip away Nebraska 26, Alabama 25 Miami vs.

Baltimore (AFC Championship) The Dolphin win in overtime last Saturday was one of the most exciting in some time. The Colts methodically ground the Browns into the turf with consistent pressure. If Bob Griese can stand that pressure on offense and if the defense can keep Johnny TJ. at bay, the Dolphins will win. Garo Yepremian will probably have a Iqt to say (with his foot) as to the outcome of the 14 Dallas vs.

San Francisco (NFC Championship) The year of the Cowboys came one step closer to reality against the Vikings. The Cowboy defense was opportunistic and it turned the tide.

John Brodie came up titles this year, all within the with the big play once again. The difference will be how well the two space of four weeks and earned defenses perform. I tend to think that the Cowboys' will perform well a total of $231,224 in prize enough to push their team into a Super Bowl confrontation with the 19 money. TRAINER NAMED EDWARDSV1LLE, HI.
