‘Dogs, Auburn
Tangle Tonight
By DAVID MOFFIT
UPI Sports Writer
ATLANTA (UPI)-The Geor
gia Bulldogs haven’t even play
ed .500 basketball so far this
season, but they’re favored to
take over second place in the
Southeastern Conference to
night.
This bit of legerdemain is the
result of the Bulldogs posting a
surprising 4-1 league record
while going 1-5 against outside
competition.
The current runnerup Auburn
Tigers, 5-1 within the SEC and
94 over-all, visit Georgia to
night.
The Bulldogs won, 68-64, at
Auburn two weeks ago to hand
the Tigers their only SEC loss
and the home court advantage
should provide the edge needed
to repeat.
However, second is as high
as Georgia is expected to reach.
The top spot is held by the
2nd-ranked, unbeaten Kentucky
Wildcats (5-0 in the SEC, 13-0
over-all) who appear en route
to their 25th conference cham
pionship in 38 years.
Wildcats Beat Vols
Kentucky, shrugging off an at
tempted slowdown by the de
fensive-minded Vols, cruised by
Tennessee Saturday, 68-52, in
the only game this past week
end that counted in the SEC
standings.
Independent Georgia Tech de
feated Auburn, 86-74; Florida
lost in overtime to West Virgi
nia, 88-87; and Florida State
beat Tulane, 82-77, in other Sat
urday games and 7th - ranked
Jacksonville (Fla.), the nation’s
highest scoring team, routed the
Virgin Islands Friday, 114-66,
for its 13th straight victory.
Jacksonville (13-0), Florida
State (12-2) and Georgia Tech
(10-3) are all in contention for
either an NCAA at-large berth
or a spot in the National Invi
tation Tournament (NIT).
“I don’t think there is any
doubt that this team (Jackson
ville) will be in the NCAA fi
nals against (top-ranked)
UCLA,” Virgin Islands Coach
Gene Werts said after his team
was trounced by the Dolphins.
Jacksonville, led by 7-foot-2
Artis Gilmore (who is averag
ing a nation - leading 26 re
bounds and 27.3 ppg) with front
line aid from 7-foot Pembrook
Burrows and 6-10 Rod Mclntyre,
is averaging 104-9 ppg.
Florida State plays both Jack
sonville (Jan. 27 - Feb. 18; and
Georgia Tech (Jan. 24-Feb. 21)
twice and Jacksonville and
Georgia Tech meet Feb. 26.
Issel Averaging 32.5
Kentucky’s Dan Issel, No. 2
scorer in the SEC with 32.5
ppg, had 28 points against Ten
nessee, but Jimmy England
(17.9 ppg) of the Vols was the
game’s leader with 29. The loss
was the fourth straight for the
Vols after a 7-1 start.
Georgia Tech’s Rich Yunkus
(28.4 ppg) outscored Auburn’s
Johnny Mengelt (24.0 ppg) 36-
30 while leading the Yellow
Jackets to their fifth straight
victory. Georgia Tech is at
Clemson tonight.
Florida’s Andy Owens (26.9
ppg) was held to 16 points be
fore fouling out just before the
end of regulation play at West
Virginia. Over - anxious Earl
Findley of Florida gave West
Virginia its winning points when
he was called twice for goal
tending in the closing seconds
of the overtime period.
LSU’s “Pistol” Pete Maravich
returns from a two- week, mid
term exams layoff next Satur
day against Kentucky. Mara
vich, the nation’s leading scor
er as usual with 47.0 ppg, needs
35 points to pass Elvin Hayes
(2,884) and become the No. 2
all-time major college career
scorer. The No. 1 spot, held by
Oscar Robertson (2,973) lies 124
points ahead.
This week’s games:
Monday: Auburn at Georgia
and Georgia Tech at Clemson.
Tuesday, Wednesday: None...
Thursday: Clemson at Florida

Foyt Wins
At Riverside
RIVERSIDE, Calif. (UPI)—
A.J. Foyt wasn’t sure it would
ever happen.
Foyt, the 35-year-old USAC
veteran from Houston, Tex.,
scored a four-second victory in
the accident-marred Motor
Trend 500 Sunday and then
said:
“I’ve always wondered if I
could win a race here as many
times as I’ve had bad luck.”
Foyt’s first victory ever at
the Riverside International
Raceway came in the first
NASCAR Grand National stock
car event of the year and
brought the man who has won
three times at Indianapolis a
check for $19,100.
Two spectacular accidents
sent two drivers to the
Riverside Community Hospital.
Jim Cook, 48, Norwalk, Calif.,
was critically injured when his
1968 Ford slammed head-on at
140 miles per hour into hay
bales after being involved in an
accident with two other cars.
An observer said Cook’s car
“folded in half like a piece of
paper.”
A hospital spokesman said
Cook was in “very critical”
condition. He was given a
tracheotomy, a hole in his
windpipe, to aid his breathing.
His legs were crushed.
The other injured driver was
Buddy Young, 27, Fairfax, Va.
He received a broken arm and
possible internal injuries when
his 1969 Ford hit a wall at more
than 100 miles an hour.
Roger McCluskey of Tucson,
Ariz., another USAC star, was
second while Lee Roy Yar
brough of Columbia, S.C., Mr.
Stock Car Racing of 1969,
finished third, 11 seconds
behind the winner.
Foyt, who competed in the
seven previous Motor Trend
races, averaged 96.711 in his
1970 Ford Torino and had an
elapsed time for the 500 miles
of five hours, 18 minutes and
eight seconds.
“There were some faster cars
out there today,” the winner
said. “We put a high gear in
our car hoping to make the en
gine last. It worked out pretty
well.”
Foyt’s previous best Motor
Trend finishes were second in
1963 and 1969.
McCluskey was in a 1969 Ply
mouth Superbird while Yar
brough, who earned a record
SIBB,OOO on the NASCAR circuit
last year, piloted a new Ford
Torino.
Parnelli Jones of Torrance,
Calif., driving a 1970 Mercury
Cyclone, had the fastest car on
the track but he wasn’t around
at the finish.

East Wins
AFL’s Farwell
Performance
HOUSTON (UPl)—The Amer
ican Football League has
passed into history.
The league, which began in
1960, gave its farewell perfor
mance Saturday when the
Western Division All-Stars rout
ed the East 26-3, at the
Astrodome.
Three of the league’s top
quarterbacks—Len Dawson of
Kansas City, Daryle Lamonica
of Oakland and Joe Namath of
New York—were out of action
for the finale. Their league will
officially merge with the
National Football League on
Feb. 1 to form the National and
American Conferences of the
National Football League.
The game’s laurels went to
John Hadi, the San Diego
quarterback who completed 18
of 26 passes for 224 yards and a
touchdown to lead the West.
Lance Alworth, Hadi’s San
Diego teammate, caught seven
passes in the game.
Hadi passed 21 yards to
Alworth for a score, Dickie
Post of the Chargers ran one
yard for another, Mike Living
ston of Kansas City rambled 12
for another and the Chiefs’ Jan
Stenerud kicked two field goals.
New York’s Jim Turner
kicked a field goal for the only
East score.
Chicago Runs
Into ’Hazzard’
ATLANTA (UPI)-You might
say the Chicago Bulls ran into
an occupational Hazzard when
they took on the Atlanta Hawks
Sunday.
Walt Hazzard, the Hawks’
floor general, bounced back
from a scoreless game against
Cincinnati two days earlier and
led a 125-107 rout of Chicago
that kept Atlanta winging atop
the NBA’s Western Division.
The peppery former UCLA
star scored a season high 40
points, passed off for 24 more
and turned in a tremendous de
fensive game in which he stole
the ball twice in a 10-second
span. His feeds helped back
court partner Lou Hudson chip
in 27 points.
After the game, coach Richie
Guerin could not say enough
about Hazzard, but disclaimed
any mention of a “one-man
show.”
“He makes us a team, makes
every member of our squad a
true member by giving him a
chance to contribute,” Guerin
said. “And in so doing, he’s
made all the pieces fall in right
for us.”
Tom Boerwinkle, Chicago’s 7-
foot center, led his team with a
career high of 29 points.
The Hawks will be idle until
next Sunday when they host the
Milwaukee Bucks. Three of
their members—Hudson, Bill
Bridges and Joe Caldwell—are
ticketed for Tuesday night’s
NBA All-Star game in Philadel
phia.

Gabriel Rescues
West, 16-13
By ALEX KAHN
UPI Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES (UPI)-Ro
man Gabriel got the job done
as he did for the Los Angeles
Rams in 11 straight games
when he came up with a
perfect pass Sunday that the
West All-Stars rode to a 16-13
win over the East in the NFL’s
20th Pro Bowl football game.
Gale Sayers of the Bears was
voted the most valuable back of
the game but there were many
among the 57,786 in the
Coliseum and in the press box,
where the balloting took place,
who felt Gabriel might have
gotten the honor if the poll was
taken after the game instead of
during the fourth quarter.
Subjected to a fierce charge
by Dallas defensive stars Bob
Lilly and George Andrie, who
was named lineman of the
game, Gabriel cooly threw the
clincher, a 28-yard pass to
Carroll Dale of the Packers
with 72 seconds left to win the
game.
Coaches Praise Gabriel
Winning West Coach Norm
Van Brocklin of Atlanta and
losing Coach Tom Fears of New
Orleans joined in praising
Gabriel for his clutch effort.
“You’ve got to give Gabriel a
lot of credit,” said Fears. “We
put a powerful rush on him.
But that last pass was just a

thing of beauty.”
Gabriel, named the Most
Valuable Player in the National
Football League the past
season, said he told his linemen
before throwing the touchdown
pass that he needed some extra
protection. He added, “I got
it.”
The West had preceded the
winning touchdown with a
fourth period safety when
punter Bob Waldeno of the
Steelers was forced to fall on a
bad center pass in the end
zone.
But Fears said four fumbles
in the first half, when the East
piled up a 13-7 lead, cost his
team the game because without
the miscues it might have piled
up a bigger lead.
An Unsung Hero
An unsung hero, except to his
teammates, was defensive tack
le Gary Larsen of the Vikings.
He rushed to the game from his
home in nearby Whittier, Calif.,
when notified at 11:30 a.m. that
Fred Miller of the Colts had
suffered a detached retina and
was unable to play.
Larsen arrived after the
game started, donned Miller’s
uniform and played much of
the game despite not having
practiced. He earned a winner’s
share of $1,500 from the
players’ pool. The losers got
SI,OOO each.
