Comments on Sports By BERNIE BARNES Sports Editor Basketball is at a feverish pitch in Mitchell with both the Kernels and Tigers bidding for conference titles. Added to this, the wrestling program at Mitchell High School, under the direction of Carroll Nelson, has also taken on a new look, resulting in a winning record for the local matmen. Dakota Wesleyan is riding the crest of an 2-0 SDIC record and 8-4 overall this places the Tigers second to South Dakota Tech (3-0 in conference play) with an all- important contest at Aberdeen tonight (Tuesday). It would take a long time to find as gocd a shooting college team in this area, as the Tigers.

Mitchell, 5-1 in the ESD and 8-2 overall, on the other hand has Ron Wiblemo and Jon Hilton in the top five for ESD scorers, but more important the Kernels are stressing a tough man to man defense which Coach Tim Fisk hopes will carry his cagers past the ESD conference and into the state tourney in March. Mitchell's young wrestlers have won their last three dual matches for a season's record of 4-3. The Kernels tackle highly touted Pierre Friday night before they host their four team wrestling invitational in the MHS gym Saturday, starting at 9:30 a.m. Participating in the day-long meet are Madison, Miller, Parkston and Mitchell.

Oregon 20 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Muhammad Ali heads for Miami Wednesday to start training for his March heavyweight championship showdown against Joe Frazier after being given a green light by the Supreme Court. The Court said Monday it would hear arguments, probably in April, on All's claim that he was a conscientious objector when he refused induction into the Army years ago. The decision cleared the way for the championship bout. "I'm relieved," said AH "Now I can concentrate on the fight. I am happy, very happy that the Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case and eliminate any problem with the fight.

Now I am going to show who the real champion of the world is." Ali refused induction into the Army April 28, 1967 and was subsequently indicted and convicted one month later. On June 20, 1967, U.S. District Court Judge Joe Ingraham imposed a $10,000 fine and five- year prison sentence on the boxer. Ali was stripped of his title by most boxing commissions and also lost his license. He was freed on $5,000 bond while his lawyers threaded the tedious I paths of appeal, rehearing and appeal again.

He was not al- I lowed to fight again until last October. Since then, he has whipped Jerry Quarry and Oscar Bon- to earn the showdown match with Frazier March 8. In Miami, Ali's trainer, Angelo Dundee was anxious to set up icamp and begin training for the 'Frazier tilt. Dundee said he had imported four Frazier-style punchers to spar with Ali. The challenger's brother, Rahman Ali, will also act as a sparring partner, Dundee said.

In another decision Monday, the Supreme Court refused to review baseball's exemption from anti-trust legislation, virtually killing the suit of ex- American League umpires Al Salerno and Bill Valentine, who claimed they were fired in 1968 for trying to organize an umpire's union. The two umpires had sued American League President Joe Cronin and Commissioner Bowie Kuhn for triple damages, al- leging they violated federal anti-trust laws by conspiring in restraint of Interstate commerce. The case was dismissed by 1 Manhattan U.S. District Court Judge Thomas F. Croake Dec, 10, 1969, a decision upheld by the Circuit Court July 13, 1970.

I The courts cited a 1922 Supreme i Court decision reaffirmed in 1953, that exempted baseball from antitrust laws. The two umpires needed four votes by Supreme Court justices to hear the case but only Justice William 0. Douglas voted to hear it. Sign Contracts ST. A L-MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Second baseman Rod Carew and pitcher Bert Ely- leven have signed 1971 contracts with the Minnesota Twins of the American League.

The Twins announced the signings Monday, saying both players received raises of "undisclosed" amounts.

South Carolina, which began last week undefeated and rated No. 2 in the nation, dropped its second straight one-point sion on Barry Parkhill's 15-foot jump shot with just seven sec-' onds left to play. Three other teams ranked among The AP's Top Ten were more fortunate. Western Ken-; tucky, No.

Virginia beat the clock as well as South Carolina.

The Cavaliers were trailing 49-48 but gambled, holding the ball for one last shot. Parkhill made it and harried South Carolina called two time with four seconds left, the other with three seconds set up their last gasp shot. Rick dlett tried it but missed from the corner. Both teams played for the good shot, throughout the game and finished with better than 60 ner center accuracy from the floor. Parkhill finished with 15 points for Virginia and Tom Owens had 16 for only men to reach double figures.

Morehead State shackled big Jim McDaniels, holding him to a mere 10 points, but Western, Kentucky still romped. Mc-j Daniels grabbed 14 rebounds and Western opened a 41-22 half- time bulge to coast in. Harold Fox snapped lethargic, Jacksonville into action with three straight steals and baskets early in the second half and the Dolphins went on to whip Oklahoma City. Fox led Jacksonville with 21 points while Norm Russell hit 27 for the losers. Kontucky used 23 points by Tom Parker and 20 more from Mike Casey to defeat Georgia, The Bulldogs, who threw a slowdown at Kentucky, hit 15-of-20 first-half shots to stay close before the Wildcats took control.

Cincinnati wiped out a 13- point deficit and beat Northern Illinois on a pair of foul shots in the last 20 seconds by Dave Johnson. Cleveland Ivey and Jerry Zielinsky had 22 points each for the losers. Florida State, down by one point at halftime, outscored Manhattan 32-4 in the first nine minutes of the second half to rip the visiting Jaspers. Ron King's 28 points led FSU with 5-foot-7 Otto Perry directing the second-half attack that shattered Manhattan. Willie Allen's tip-in with 90 seconds left sparked a six-point Miami burst that moved the Hurricanes to a 78-75 victory over Lafayette.

Jim Irviag's 32 points led St. Louis to a 79-65 victory over Tulsa. Irving scored 24 of his points in the second half when the Billikeas broke the game wide open.

There were 47 seconds left on the clock when the officials ended the game because of the fight. Frazier Honored Dakota Wesleyan travels to Aberdeen tonight to take on the rugeed Northern Wolves in an early important SDIC contest. Coach Fosness' Tigers are presently in second place in conference play (2-0) while the Wolves have had only one conference game, that was a convincing win over Dakota State last a "Our offense is probably as good as it will be," commented Fosness, "but work is still needed in blocking out and defense Northern plays their usual tough defense and it will be a fine match between our offense and their defense. "A win would put us in a very enviable position in the SDIC because it is not often that teams win on Northern's floor." 'Following the Northern game, Dakota Wesleyan will not play again until January 23. That game will be at Dakota State.
