Ivvwvwnorvnnnrv yyyyyyyyy vjS fiFs- 'Xvjiki Coaches Disagree On: Merits of Slow Game EMILTAGLIABUE Hot Dogs For $15 SIPtfDUBTS of Being Globetrotter PAGE 6C SUNDAY FEBRUARY 7 1971 For a 115000 tab one would expect that a world tour would include the finest cuisine from this old globe's most excellent restaurants Would you believe stand-up repastes of hot dogs in Woolongong Australia Manila Castiglioncello Italy and Wembley Empire Pool near London? And as for sightseeing forget it! better pack a lot of wash and wear stuff because if you send out the laundry by the time it gets back you'll probably be at least 2000 miles away in another country That's the of being a Harlem Globetrotter the 6lde of life for the zany clowns of see or think about It's a miracle they themselves are able to smile much less draw belly laughs from the customers who wait in anticipation from one year to the next for the return of Abe Saperstein's brainchild that never grows stale The Globetrotters make their annual stop here tomorrow night in Memorial Coliseum with the usual sellout audience of over 3000 youngsters ages 7 to 70 That puts Corpus Christ! in the less-than-select list of 1321 American cities which have played host to these magical macaps whose talent for come-sportsdom that the millions who dv is exceeded only by their roar at their escapades neverjskill at the game of basketball New Fail Crop Generated Based on actual routing of a months a year on the road cow recent season the Globetrotters' jering some 75000 in not less college coaches a time clock is Implemented we'll play the game that way Everyone could adjust But it makes no difference to Other coaches who advocate a ban against the slowdown indude Jack Kraft of Villanova Harry Litwack of Temple Press Maravich of Louisiana State and Roy Rubin of Long Island University Kraft a member of the NCAA rules committee likes to watch the game unfold but admitted that rulesmakers are stumped in efforts to legislate against stalls want to make de-iberate attacks he said 39 Second Clock He added that colleges are opto a 30-second clock simi-ar to the 24-second job used in the pros but said they were concerned about stalling the best thing for the said Kraft Litwack a former member of the rules committee said he know what rule could be set up to prevent stalling But up By KEN RAPPOPORT NEW YORK (AP) Adolph Rupp Frank McGuire and John Wooden are opposed to it Lefty Driesell is for it And Bill Raf-tery Is neither hawk nor dove And the war goes on about slowdown college basketball you take the action out of basketball you take the action out of the said Rupp fabled coach general trend to slow down will kill the said McGuire the South Carolina leader been burned more than once this year make fin: good basketball but it is within the says Wooden who has had overwhelming success at UCLA against every conceivable type of offense Remarkable Fortune Driesell on the other hand has had remarkable fortune with the freeze-ball technique Among his noted victims is McGuire's ranked powerhouse got the idea from North said Driesell Carolina did such an excellent job with it and I almost copied it directly It original with me but the way things are North slowdown yanked South Carolina out of its zone and the Tar Heels pulled off a 79-64 upset Maryland cold-shouldered South Carolina into submission 31-30 and (he Gamecocks lost another stall to Virginia 50-49 know going to happen when you see a pro fame" said Driesell going to shoot before 24 seconds are up I like that think it takes something out of the game college game is more interesting from the standpoint and for the coach because got to prepare his team for anything We know going to Fans Want Action but not for the average want to watch hose-and-buggy scoffs Maravich whose son Pistol Pete made run-and-gun offense a Southeast legend is like watching grass Maravich mind a time dock they did bring In the he said maybe get rid of 19-second rule five-second rule and abandon the zone defense Three-Point Goals on the subject also like to see three-point goals (as in the American Basketball Association) Those shots take more skill Why my grandmother could make Rubin favors a clock too The 30-second type lot of coaches are afraid of he said they really thought about it They could still keep the score low but you have any halftime scores of 4-3 (Maryland led South Carolina by that score at the half) Ray Mears Ken Rosemond Jim McDermott of Iona and Dick Phelps of Fordham like it nice easy is something you resort to when you need an said Mears one of the foremost proponents of disciplined basketball going to run when we think travels included 273 nights in hotels in different cities travel each day and a basketball game at night with Sundays something special a game in the afternoon and probably another at night maybe 60 or 70 miles further down the road On a handful of occasions you luxu riate in getting to spend as many as two nights in one place in which case undoubtedly you would feel in danger of growing roots and being unable to leave The annual itinary of the Trotters show's nine to 10 than 46 states and a couple of dozen foreign countries An thought that the lure of the Harlem cuties (they actually come from everywhere in the country except Harlem) might be on the wane is effectively dispelled by attendance that never seems to sag and the sharp move last fall which put the Globetrotter (animated style) on Saturday morning television An entire new crop of fans most of whom will be with them for life is being harvested by that cute gimmick said he the stall-ban technique Image Coni i lines To Grow is bad for the game bad because we all know what financial trouble college athletics are having and that we have to depend on gate said Litwack always been my philosophy that when a guy plunks down $5 for a entertainment get cheated if he get it stall may be exciting for the students of a stalling team UCC GOLFERS PREPARE FOR FIRST MATCH coach Charles Emery (center) gives tips to Rob Hargis (left) John Stewart UCC Opens Golf Competition In 3-Team Event Tomorrow the percentage thing to Like checkers or chess I like to think of it as said Rosemond feel a coach should be allowed to do what is within the rules to win a game and if he wants to hold the ball then he said McDermott "You win whichever way you can" said Phelps golf team gets into ac- to fill NCAA requirements are always seeking new ideas new explains George Gillett president of the basketball emprire who with board chairman Potter Palmer purchased the team four years ago from the estate of the beloved Saperstein When the new owners took over the reins doom sayers forecast a quick demise to the best-known sports combine in the world Without little Abe's magic touch the road ahead seemed all downhill to eventual oblivion Instead the image of the has grown tenfold and their' popularity around the world has increased rather than decreased No one who sees the deceives himself with the thought that what he is seeing is actual game-type competition The show is the thing and the opponent team known over the years by various names and now being termed the New Jersey Reds with 50ish Red Klotz as coach and top star of the opposition is there merely to make its contribution to the mirth Over 44-plus seasons over 65 million people have paid their way to see the greatest show in basketball It may not be the greatest life in the world but it seems to agree with Meadowlark Lemon Curly Neal Leon Hilliard et al and more importantly the fans 420 Races Won By Bill Holmes Bill Holmes won both of the opening races of the 420 Spring Series Races here yesterday In the first race Bolivar De Pena finished second Carl Wen-del was third and Tige Don'o-ghue took

stand for it They want action Personally I like to coach slowdown basketball and hope I never have to a game of motion and should be kept moving" Raftery the coach of Seton Hall mind how they just so they come prepared for anything really matter to me one way or the said Raftery one of the younger Charles Emery Jr one of the finest golfers to come out of Corpus Christi and who starred at SMU for three years is the coach He is also assistant pro to Tommy Burke at the Corpus Christi Country Club Representing UCC will be John Stewart and Wayne Higgins ex-Carroll players Jim Busby who played for
