Comment limiiimiimmniiii lllllllllllillllilHillllllUIlIJ By Ernest Mehl. (The Star' Sport Editor.) 8-game tour of this country by the Russian na-I tional basketball team was to have included Kansas City on its tour originally but the plans were changed and perhaps its just as well. Terry Rice of Sports Illustrated calls our attention to an editorial concerning this tour in the current issue and the efforts made by the A. A.

U. to assemble a team capable of competing against the Russians. Here We Go Again, the editorial is headlined and Rice suggests we may want to say Amen to it. And we do. As the Russian national missile team was preparing to leave Cuba, the Russian national basketball team was invading the S.

the editorial comments. The basketball team has an excellent chance for the success of its mission. It may bury us. The 8-game tour of the U. S.

starts Thursday in Madison Square Garden. For the Russians this is an early tuneup for the 1981 Olympics: for us it is a last-minute tuneup for the basketball World Championship in Manila in December. (For political reasons, the Russians are not going to Manila.) Once again, because of the inadequacy of A. A. U.

policy, the U. S. team is light-years away from our best. At the last World Championship in Chile, the Russians humiliated a similarly inferior U. S.

team. The A. A. U. is trying to conceal the quality of this years team by calling it a collection of 1962 all-Americans.

What the A. A. U. means is A. A.

U. all-Americans, which in turn means that 95 per cent of U. S. players are ineligible, since the A. A.

U. controls only about 5 per cent of the amateur basketball played in this country. There is not a genuine all-American on the team, and the A. A. U.

knows it. The team will be coached in Manila by a pleasant young man named Les Lane, whose qualifications are simply laughable in comparison with those of men like Pete Newell, Adolph Rupp or dozens of others. The A. A. U.s ultimate ineptness is its inclusion of a player named Roger Brown on the U.

S. squad. Brown accepted cash and favors from one of the basketball fixers soon to be tried in New York. MYERS'S ARM STILL ON TARGET Payoff Touchdown by Swingle Set Up by Soph Quarterback He Connects for Two 6-Pointers Against Fired-Up Hoosiers. Bloomington, Ind.

(AP) Northwestern, the nations top-rated college football team, had to come from behind in the final quarter yesterday to defeat an inspired Indiana team that had lost four straight games, 26-21. Fullback Bill Swingles4-5-yard touchdown run ended the Hoosiers bid for one of the biggest upsets in this or any other season. Tom Mjcrs, Northwesterns spectacular sophomore passer, threw for two touchdowns in the first half and completed two others that set up Swingle's winning touchdown. Indiana looked like anything but a team that was losing its 13th straight game with a Big Ten opponent. Myers threw 14 yards to Gary Crum and 33 to Willie Stinson for touchdowns that put Northwestern Jay Robertson.

Northwestern center, played the entire game without relief. Robertson is a former Kansas City Southxxcst groat. cUaarCi9ar MISSOURIAN HITS MISSOURIAN Vince Turner of Missouri applies the stops to TVarrcn Powers of Nebraska.

He hobbled it, and Paul blocked Leistritzs point attempt, the clock showed plays. Then Lcistritz, missed one in the first quarter, came in to toe home a field goal with the ball placed down on the 35. In all it traveled 45 yards to clear the crossbar and was high enough 10 yards deeper. That made it 10-7 with 6:43 gone, and put Mizzou in the drivers seat.

Kicker Shows Stuff. Tuo Catties With on I. .1. Team. HAD there been a game here, as first planned, the Russians would have met a picked team from the ranks of the N.

A. I. A. A1 Duer, executive secretary of the N. A.

I. which is comprised of the 400-odd smaller colleges in the nation, has spent some time picking this team which will meet the Russians in one game at Sioux Falls. The N. A. I.

A. was allotted two of the eight games and the X. C. A. A.

was asked to help out but refused on the grounds that this was no time of the year to take star basketball players out of the universities and major colleges. The mistake made in the first place was in setting such a time as this for the Russian tour. The Russians probably would hae come to this country for any dates offered and had the tour been arranged for next April or during the summer months its quite possible that a team worthy to compete against them could have been gathered together. Obviously, the strongest American team is the one recruited from the stars of the colleges and since there continues this impasse between the X. C.

A. A. and A. A. U.

there wasnt any chance for the former body to co-operate. had an excuse anyway in not wanting to take players out of school for what would be practice periods and then the games themsehes. The manner in which the whole situation has evolved has been of concern to the State department and it wont help the prestige of this country either if the Russians swamp the team which has been put together by the A. A. U.

Timing Could Ilo re licon Ki lter. One would hae thought the tour would have been arranged at a time when the United States could have been represented by its best in a sport which was originated in I this country. The N. A. I.

A. team, Duer believes, will be strong enough to offer some strong competitiorf. He has worked on this from no ulterior motive but merely to help out a muddled and awkward situation. et it is an indication of what can happen when all sports groups in this country are not in harmony and it presages what could happen in the 1964 Olympics if this present situation persists. Walt Byer, executive secretary of the X.

C. A. was recency quoted as believing some sort of rapport will be reached between the A. A. U.

and the X. C. A. or as has been stated, between the A. A.

U. and the new sports "federation of which the X. C. A. A.

is a member and to which the A. A. U. was invited. It is to be hoped he is right in his thinking.

In the meantime, the Russians, who hate been second best to the Imted States team in the last two Olympics, can make some capital out of swamping the A. A. U. team as-. sembled in this country.

And. outside this country, who would know that this was not the best team that could have been put together. As the editorial groans: Here we go again. 1 left in the game. It gave no cheer to the Nebraskans that the sun chose this moment to appear for the first time.

From then on, it was obvious that Nebraska would have to pass. But it didn't have a chance. The aggressive, mobile Missouri line put the full rush on Clar-idge. He tried 10 passes from there on in; not a one was complete and two of his up-to-now deadly throws were intercepted vine apparently is not too worried about the passing game. Injuries Hit M.

U. Aggravation of old injuries forced throe Tigers out of action. Keith Webers injured knee was hurt again and he was pained by it after the game. Tackle Bill Siekierski was removed xx hen he was bothered by a jarhmed nerve in his neck. Conrad Hitchler went out with four minutes to go with a bad ankle.

Until he loft, Hitchler was outstanding. The senior end from Kansas City kept the heat on the Ilusker passer and turned in a key interception. Hitchler has been a strong defensive plaxer for us all season. said Onofrio, the line coach. This game and the Minnesota game were his best of the season.

Bob Devaney, Nebraska coach, was naturally disappointed over his teams fumbling exhibition. It wasnt that we had a bad day. We just couldnt hold on to the football. Missouri had a tough team. It didn't do anything that we had not expected, hut it just did everything well.

Underhill recovered for M. (U. at (he spot. There was five minutes left in the third quarter. Bengals to Three.

By the time the period ended, Missouri had run six smashes at the Ilusker forwards, moving the ball to the 3. Underhill gained two and then quarterback Jim Johnson sneaked across. When Warren Powers, the speedy Ilusker halfback who played for Kansas City Lillis, Orange Boxxl Official Ituox at Lincoln. Lincoln, Neb. Two Orange bowl officials Ernie Seiler, cxecutixe ice-prcsidcnt, and Jess Yarborough, selections committee chief, were interested onlookers at yesterdays Big Eight clash between Missouri and Nebraska.

This race is a long way from being over, said Yarborough. Even the loser still is very much in the running along with Oklahoma and Kansas. We have an exceptionally fine field this year. We also are looking at Georgia Tech, Duke, Miami, Alabama, Auburn and many others. The Big Eight officially is tied with the Orange bowl and the conference champion will represent the league in the New Year's day affair in Miami.

U.s passing brightened by the Tigers first screen pass completion of the season, caused Dan to get his Irish up. But it was only a case of mock indignation as he clutched the soft drink bottle and raised it as if ready to fight off attackers. Everybody keeps asking me about our passing. This reminds me of the Orange bowl game when we played Naxy. Everybody wanted to know how we planned to stop Joe Bellino, he said.

Of course, the Tigers took care of the Naxw ace and De- -awe (Continued From Pace IB.) tice. I start off on extra points, then gradually move back up the field. I wind up kicking from the 35, spending the most time there. He was standing on the 35 yesterday for the clutch boot. Roland in Doubt.

Johnny Roland, whose 46-yard run accounted for Missouris irst touchdown, said he really did not know where he lost possession of the ball. Eut the officials ruled he was over the goal when the ball slipped out of his hands and bounded out of the end zone. Roland reported Tom Hertz, guard, and John Sevcik, end. led the right side charge that opened the way for the sideline scamper. Sevcik was in front of me.

After he threw the block, I went outside of him. Coach Dan Devine said Nebraska's stacked-deck defense (three men lined up facing the Missouri center) forced a change in Tiger strategy in the second half. This gave Nebraska a better pursuit, he pointed out as he diagramed the play on scratch paper. Rut it also helped us open the way for our counter plays. ppxine Still Surprised.
