INTERNATIONAL Underrated Santa Clara attempts to recoup a little of the lost Wichita tonight in a big cage battle.

The Broncos are 7-0 and are playing without two starters. Wichita has lost only to Ohio State and upset NCAA champion Cincinnati Monday night. Last night the coast finally got into the win column in an intersectional battle as San Jose State turned in a convincing 60-54 win at Brigham Young.

The 6-3, 230-pound Ditka. an AP All-America end in 1960 at Pitt, was the overwhelming choice of a committee of sports writers and sportscasters participating in the AP rookie balloting. He drew 27 votes while the runner-up, quarterback Fran Tarkenton of the Minnesota Vikings, got only four. Others drawing support were halfback Don Perkins of the Dallas Cowboys, quarterback Norm Snead of the Washington Redskins, and linebacker Myron Pottios of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ditka, the No.

BYU stayed in the contest largely on free throws, hitting 28 of 38 foul shots. Elsewhere, the coast was again dumped although scores were for the most part close. UCLA rang up a big almost at Creighton.

The Bruins were ahead 3520 when a sub named Larry Wagner came in the game and led the Bulldogs back to where they trailed 42-40 at half and moved ahead to stay after the intermission. The Bruins then fought back to close the gap to two points, but could not tie it up. Final score was 74-72. Paul Silas and Wagner led Creighton with 24 and 21 points, while John Green had 23 for the Bruins. In action along the coast, once-beaten Washington continued to look like one of the tougher quintets with a 75-66 romp over Idaho.

Bill Bill Hanson had 18 for the Huskies. Fresno State evened up its series at Washington State with an 81-72 defeat of the Cougars. Tonv Burr and Mike McFerson tallied 49 points between them for Fresno. the 1964 Olympics. This constant bickering is not getting us anywhere and it is According to Fisher, there are two main reasons for the current breach between the two groups.

Both reasons stem from AAU domination of amateur basketball policy in the U.S. In 1960, the basketball committee of the U.S. Olympic Games Committee was composed of eight representatives of the AAU, eight from the NCAA and four from the armed services. The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, which represents about 535 small colleges, asked the Olympic committee that its best teams be allowed to participate in the Olympic trials. Fisher said the NCAA, headed by Walter Byers, its executive secretary, took the position that most of the NAIA schools were too small and did not have the athletes.

NCAA OUTVOTED The AAU and armed services representatives outvoted the NCAA and NAIA teams were allowed to participate. The second difference, said Fisher, is a desire by the NCAA for representation on the Federation of International Basketball Assns. There is one representative from every participating nation and the AAU holds the U.S. seat. Fisher said the AAU is attempting to settle the problem and has offered to form a new group, called the Basketball Council of the U.S., composed of all major basketball groups.

This body then would elect the single representative to the international federation. Gopher Coach Impressed By UCLA Progress PASADENA thing I fear most about said Minnesota coach Murray Warmath today, that this is a team that got better and better through the season and may not be finished getting am really bothered by improvement declared Warmath, whose Go phers, along with the Uclans, knocked off Rose Bowl preparations this afternoon in favor of Disneyland. Both teams had morning drills and then joined forces for a kind of fun they have together New Year's day. Warmath noted that UCLA a 29-6 trimming in its second game against Michigan to life by holding powerful Ohio State to a 13-3 decision and then won six of its last seven games. Coach Bill Barnes of the underdog Uclans responded with courtesy befitting any protege of Gen.

PRAISES GOPHERS our films of games with Iowa, Purdue and said Barnes, say club this season is greatly improved over last much better all around team. Certainly we have anyone who can begin to compare with Sandy While Warmath said the Gophers will get back to two-a-day drills Friday and Saturday, Barnes said he will stick to the single daily practice which has prevailed since the Uclans started gearing for the Rose Bowl Dec. 11. Jokes Barnes: single wing offense is kind of simple.
