SOME OF THEM are veterans and some are newcomers making their first bids for national attention in the Motor City. Fans of the host Titans know about Guard Walter Poff, the only non-sophomore in Coach Bob Calihan's first five. A steady floor general and a tricky push shooter, Poff has been" Detroit's leading scorer. But key man In the Titan offense Is Center Bob Decker, 6-foot-6 sophomore who Is trying to fill Norman Swanson's ample shoes.

Cage Greats In Spartan Twin Bills UCLA, Kansas State, Irish in Classic i Special to the Free Prrne EAST LANSING Michigan State will play host to three of the finest basketball teams in the country this week during the fourth annual Spartan Classic. Kansas State, which will meet Notre Dame in the opening game Friday night, was rated No. 3 in the Nation in the pre-season polls. The Irish themselves were no worse than 11th.

UCLA, which will be State's first-round opponent, was ranked No, 6, leaving only the Spartans out of the select list. IT IS THE classiest field In the history of the Classic and perhaps the highest-ranked set of teams ever to compete in a tournament outside the post-season playoffs. Scoring records are tn danger during the two nights of double-headers, which continue Saturday with Notre Dame vs. UCLA and Michigan State vs. Kansas State.

The Spartan Classic scoring record was set last year when Minnesota whacked Dartmouth, 75 to 62 Kansas State, UCLA or Notre Dame Is capable of topping that 75-polnt total with the Kansas team especially dangerous. THE INDIVIDUAL high scoring mark was hung up by Chuck Mencel, Minnesota's deadly outside shooter, with 24 points against Dartmouth also last year. Taking aim at that record will be such potent marksmen as Dick Rldgway, UCLA sophomore sensation of last season who hit 470 points for a school record; Dick Knostman, Kansas State's center who rang up 390 last campaign; and Dick Rosenthal, Notre Dame's high scorer. Michigan State's chief scoring threats are Keith Stackhouse, the team's leading point maker last year, and Bob Armstrong, 6-foot-8 ophomore center. FANS WILL get a look at several brands of basketball.

UCLA and Notre Dame stress speed, Kansas State uses more set plays ana Michigan State banks on ball control. All four teams skipped through their early tests without defeat. A feature of the tournament will be a two-day clinic for coaches and players, with the four tournament coaches in charge. They are Johnny Wooden, of UCLA; Jack Gardner, of Kansas State; Johnny Jordan, of Notre Dame; and Pete Newell, of Michigan State. College Week In Sports It SKETRAIX MnVfVW MlrhlcHn nt Illinois.

JIM FERRIER, the big Australian who was in third place Friday, two strokes off the pace, shot 71 Saturday for 207 to skid into a seventh place tie. Ferrlcr pulled a muscle In his game left leg jumping out of a trap at the 13th and rode in an automobile the rest of the round.

But the Injury didn't hurt his game. He was a stroke under par for the last five holes. Jim Turnesa whizzed around in 65, matching the best 18-hole score of the tournament, to- climb into a third place tie. Turnesa's 31 on the back nine' was low for the tournament. Tied with Turnesa for third were Dick Mayer and Ed Furgol.

Tommy Bolt was sixth with 206. John Barnum, of Grand Rapids, posted a 70 following his 67 of Friday for a three-day total of 208, which was good for a 12th place tie.

TIT.VN SURPRISE CHOICE ston and Guy Sparrow other three Titan starters also are MVP candidates with real stature.

It is difficult to pick a man from Wayne's "Big Three" but Charlie Primas has been showing the way with 55 points In three starts. Right behind are Johnny Kline with 45 $nd Ernie Wagner with 40, giving Coach Joel Mason's crew a triple shot at the coveted MVP award. The visiting teams are no less likely to carry off the trophy. DUQUESNE will put Dick Ricketts, their 6-foot-7, sophomore center, into the race. An all-state prep star in Pennsylvania, Ricketts was the-team's outstanding freshman last year when he banged away for 336 points in 27 games.

St Mary's top candidate probably will be George McLaughlin, the Gaels' senior center who Is a free-throwing wizard, but they want you to know about Bill Bandemler, a sophomore from Chicago whose one-hand shooting makes him the school's most promising recruit in years. Those are the names in the pre-tournament mill. But it will take the action of two fierce double-headers to reach a verdict The action will start at 8 p.m. nightly, with Wayne meeting St. Mary's and Detroit tackling Duquesne the first night Winners will meet for the title the next night, with the lcsers playing a consolation game TICKETS ARE ON SALE at the athletic office on the campus and the Free Press Building, 321 W.

Italy clinched its match when Fausto Gardinl defeated Sumant Misra, 8-6, 8-8, 1-6, 6-4.

Prep Basketball CITY LEAGUE STANDINGS Chances are the Blue Devils will regret it. They are ranked as underdogs against Xavier University, of Cincinnati. They meet at 8:15 p.

m. at the Coliseum. After opening the season with a loss to Gonzaga, LIT has come along rapidly to bounce Gustavus-Adolphus and Detroit Tech. XAVIER, however, figures to be one of the classiest teams on the Blue Devil schedule this season, and the Ohioans have never been a "soft touch." Xavier has only a four-point loss to Minnesota marring its three-game record. It has beaten Union and Georgetown.

The visitors have three veterans back from last year's team, which bowed to LIT, 91 to 84. They Include Forward Huck Budde, Center Bob Dickman 1 0 1 2 0 their 'coach of the year. His selection, announced here Saturday by Commissioner A. E.
