Quattrocchi Stars Albany 'State will be out to By BILL WHITNEY Catholic Central, Watewliet and Troy High schools face important tests tonight as area basketball teams get down to the serious business of building league contenders for 1970-71 honors.

The schedule includes a heavy elate of activity in -nine leagues involving 54 teams. CCHS, Lansingburgh, Water- Averill Park and Tamarac are all at home, while Troy and Keveny take to the road, all in league games. Catholic Central, fresh from an impressive 91-51 win over Cardinal McCloskey, hosts arch- rival CBA in the first major test of the Diocesan League season for both clubs. Paced by the inside work of 6-6 center Gary Hplle-aml senior forwards Paul Brisson and John Noonan, the Crusaders of Coach Don Bassett appear to 'be a strong contender for league honors this year. As has become habit in the past three seasons, CBA and Bishop Gibbons figurg to provide the major opposition.

Catholic High stands 2-1 on the year and 1-0 in the circuit. CBA, with Ron Smith and Vin Ray showing the way, is 2-0 and 1-0. Coach Joe Chiarmonte's LaSalle Cadets, plagued by a lack of height, take their rec-, ord to 2-1, 0-1 Vincentian in another Diocesan game. Another key test involving local contenders will see Colonial Council hopefuls Havena and Watervliet squaring off at the WHS gym. Coach Joe Hogan's well-balanced Cannoneers have won in all three starts this year and hold league wins over Draper and Lansingburgh.

Ravena, the other "club to beat" in the now-scrambled Colonial Council, holds wins over BUrgh and defending champion Cohoes, the orphan that can't repeat because somebody decided it wouldn't be fair to the other clubs in the league. BILL TROMBLEY SYL CANTY BILL GORMAN Dethroned Bob Foster Bugged By WBA 'Cats' WASHINGTON (AP) Bob Foster said Thursday he still considers himself the light heavyweight boxing champion even though the World Boxing Association has stripped him of the title. Foster said he will fight the WBA on the sidelines and No. 1 contender Jimmy Dupree in the ring to prove it "I'm astonished--I don't know why those cats did it," he said of the WBA's decision to withdraw its recognition of him as champion. "They're just faulting themselves," Foster said.

"It's a nothing division without me I'm still the champion until somebody beats me. I want to fight Dupree He called the WBA action the "rawest deal I've ever had in boxing Bill Brennan, piesident the WBA, said Richmond Wednesday, Foster's crown was being lifted because his manag-1 contender. er, Lou Viscusi of Tampa, Fla to post a $5,000 foifeit bond for. the fight with Dupree within 10 days after Foster was knocked out by Joe Frazicr in us bid for the heavyweight title Nov. 18 in Detroit.

Brennan also said the reasons for the WBA went considerably deeper than failure to post bond. "I worked to help Foster get a shot at (Dick) Tigei," he said, "and Foster promised me he would defend eveiy three months against the No. 1 contender "We'ie given him every opportunity for 2V4 years to do that, and he hasn't lived up to the agreement" Foster- knocked champion Dick Tiger the fourth round May 24, 1968 to win the title anc then successfully defended against the late Fiank DePaula and disposed of Andy Kendall, Roger Rouse and Mark Tessman, none of whom was the No. Syracuse Sports Heads To Remain SYRACUSE, (AP)-Syracuse University Chancellor John Corbally said Thursday a committee repoit on racism ir the school's athletic departmenl was not anti-athletics and thai he saw no need for personnel changes. Corbally made the comments in a statement prepared for de livery at a press conference "The has that racism in the athletic department is real, chiomc largely unintentional, and sus tamed and complicated unwit tragly by many modes of be havior common in American athletics and long-standing a Syracuse University," Corbally said; The 39-page report released Wednesday after the 12 member committee took secret testi mony from about 40 persons dealt-with allegation? of racisn made against the footbal coaching staff by eight black athletes.

(Cohoes was ruled -out of the championship picture after a decision by Section II officials allowing so-called "ineligible players" to remain on the squad but not get credit their efforts, at least insofar as league standings are concerned). Watervliet appears to have the speed and size to go along with good shooting that make a championship formula, and Ravena figures to be the only stumbling block. With high- scoring guard John DiBiase and slick ball-handler Bill Gorman in the backcourt, the Garnet and Gray have fine speed. Combined with the front court work of Matt Terry Gettings and Brian Singleton, the Cannoneers look" to be the class of the league in the early going. Havena, under 'Coach Howie Tucker, is always a threat, and he Indians have good shooting the likes of Bob Johnson aiic ack Chapman.
