Nichols wound up as the game's leading scorer with 19 points He was followed by Bill Van Cleave with 12 and Jim Casey with 10. The Braves hit on 22 of 54 field goal attempts for 42.6 percent. Moser finished with 15 points to lead Alta, but failed to get his first point until the middle of the second quarter. Moser had scored 45 points in the Cyclones' first iwo tourney wins. Also in double figures for Alta were DeMan, who finished with 13, and Tom Huse- man with 11.

DeMan popped in four early jumpers to keep Alta close, but picked up three quick, fouls and sat out much of the game before fouling out in the fourth quarter. The Cyclones connected on only 13 of 47 from the floor for a chilly 38.3 percent. Behind Nichols' 19 rebounds, Monte held a 43-34 advantage on the backboards. Alta thus finished with a 22-4 record, and, rather than taking another first place trophy back to northwest Iowa, settled for a runnerup trophy. Monte was able to do what its girls counterpart couldn't.

The Monte girls came here last week also with a perfect record but were beaten in the quarterfinals. at Madison Square Garden. The victory gained Tennessee a quarter-final berth against Duke Monday night. Gree Pivoror of Illinois also- HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP), -Ellsworth of Iowa Falls won the championship of the National junior college basketball tournament Saturday night by defeating Southern Idaho of Twin Falls 0-71.

Ellsworth was never behind after halftime when they led 39-31 and rode along easily behind the dazzling play of Ben-nie Clyde, who scored 28 points in the game and was high for the tournament with 103. Ellsworth was ahead 65-57 when they went into their delay game with four minutes to play. Southern Idaho, forced to go for the ball, fouled repeatedly and Ellsworth made 14 of their last 16 points on free throws. High scorer for Southern Idaho was Ron Behagen with 24 points. Clyde was named the tournament's outstanding performer and his coach, Jim Carey, was acclaimed coach of the year.

"Sandy is a third cousin of mine," Bill said. "There are only two Van Cleave families left in Monte. In our family, there's only one left younger than me.

That's my brother, Tom, who is in the sixth grade." Bill said Bob and Dutch Van Cleave; stars on Montezuma's teams in the state tourneys of 1949 and '50 are fourth cousins. Dutch formerly coached at Amana and Bob coaches in Illinois. Quoting Hie Nastase, Romanian tennis star who will play in the International tennis tournament in D.M. April 7-10: "We have soccer professionals in Romania, and in Hungary there was a professional boxer. And tennis in my country is more and more popular.

There is a couple hundred tennis counts in country. Golf they think is more capitalist. I tell you why. One golf court there is.in all Romania. And there may be three and one-half players.

Yes, one-half. My grandmother plays, but she already dies next week." Bad or Balanced? DES MOINES-Observers at the state tournament were, lamenting the shortage of outstanding basketball teams and outstanding college prospects this year. Don't know whether to agree with them or not. This is always relative. It's difficult to tell whether the lack of stickouts means there is marvelous balance or (as Duffy Daugherty says) an over-abundance of medi-ocrity.

The coacheg we talked lo seem agreed there are very few senior players in the state this year capable of playing Big Ten, Big Eight or Missouri Valley ball. However, there are, some excellent prospects for the caliber of play in such leagues as the Iowa and Midwest conferences Football coaches were almost as interested in the state basketball tourney as the cage coaches. Best-looking grid prospect, of oourse, was Treynor's Tom Winchell, 6-3, 195-pound senior. He looks active and strong enough to make a big-time coHege team at any of several positions, and he'll probably weigh 220 by the time he's a college soph. We saw some goo4 "futures," too.

j3ne is Jay De Zeeuw of Boyderi-Hull. This strapping junior stands 6-2, weighs 210. He is a nephew of Iowa's basketball coach, Dick Schultz. However, he thinks football will be his best sport in college. He plays tight end and defensive end.

"We didn't get to Iowa City this season to see Uncle Dick's team play," De Zeeuw said, "but I've always been an Iowa fan an Iowa State fan, too, really." Another likely looking gridder among the tourney starters was Gary Walker, 6-3, 205-pound soph at Algona. He's already a mature well coordinated athlete. We predict he'll be well worth waiting two years for some college coach to recruit. Pass the Hash Even we Cedar Rapids folks who knew Dave Wessel he was "growing up here will have to admit he didn't start the state tournament with a good omen.

"I scored 27 points to set an Iowa fieldhouse record. "The second was when my Marshalltown team (25-0) won the state championship in 1956. "And the third, of course, is now.

"My recommendation will be to keep it here," said Saggau, the executive secretary of the Iowa High School Athletic Assn. "I'm very satisfied to have it here and I think it should be here.

There are better over-all facilities here in Des Moines." Saggau added that "back on Jan. 1 there were probably 10,000 tickets already sold for Saturday night's basketball finals." the state wrestling tournament, which was moved to Ames this year because of a schedule conflict at Veteran's auditorium, will return to Des Moines for the next five years, according to Saggau Howie Vernon former Waterloo East football coach and now principal at that school, said he believes East football coach Bruce Wiegman will be back at the helm next fall. Wiegman has been under fire for an alleged Involvement with a high school girl, who is the Wiegman baby sitter. "The whole thing has really been blown out of proportion," Vernon said. "The girl has an unhappy home life and Bruce and his wife had -given her some advice on several occasions which the girl's father did not appreciate.

The father filed a complaint with the school board, but at no time did he imply there was any hanky-panky involved" Names of members of Iowa's first Auto Racing Hall of Fame will be announced Tuesday.
