Duke and Pete Coker of North Carolina State opped the balloting for the fourth an nual Atlantic Coast onference All-Academic Basketball team announced Monday ACC Commissioner Jim Weaver said Coker and Randy Mahaffey of Clemson were the only repeaters in the all-academic selection. Completing the team were Jim Suther- liu0l Clemson an Hal Blondeau of' North Carolina State.

None of them can stand prosperity. At least that's the way it seems from the way each won its regional championship last Saturday night. All lost seem ingly safe leads and were forced to come through in the stretch to earn their advance ments to the semi-finals. Friday, No. 1 Kentucky (26 1) meets No. 2 Duke (25-3) in the 7 p.m. opener that will decide the Eastern champion, and No. 3 Texas Western (26-1) accepts unranked Utah's (20 6) challenge in the Western title tilt at nine. The winners play Saturday night at nine for the national crown after a sev en o'clock consolation bout be tween Friday's losers.

Duke, the Eastern tiltlist, won by 91-81 over independent Syracuse, but had to recover after frittering away a 16-point lead just before the half and being down to the Orange 72-70 with just over five minutes to play. Texas Western had the big gest scare and perhaps the most luck of the four finalists. It took them two overtimes to win the Midwest crown from Kansas, 81-80. The Miners had fourth-ranked Kansas down by 69-64 with a minute to go in their Mid west showdown, but the Jay hawks charged back to tie at 69-all after 40 minutes. Then in the first overtime, the once beaten Miners were seemingly eliminated from the nationwide event when Jo Jo White of JU sank a 15-footer with one sec ond left. a .nv to am team. Players qualify for the all academic squad by having a B or better academic average for either their full college career, the entire year just completed or one se mester of the past year. Sutherland, an A student in pre-med as a junior, tops the academic rating on the ACC team, just above Mahaffey's A-minus in pre-med as a junior. The B students are Marin in chemis try, Coker in economics and Blondeau in economics. All are on the dean's list. Also placing in Die voting were Bob Ben nett of North Carolina, Larry Worsley of N. C. State and Buddy Benedict of Clemson. But White had stepped out of bounds before the shot, and the game went into its second overtime before Western's aptly-named Willie Cager hit for the clincher with 32 seconds left. Utah's Redskins, who fell to Carolina (90-85) during the Christmas break, rode their fast-break to an 18-point lead early in the second half, but had to hold on tight for a 70-64 win over Oregon State in the Far West title game. Kentucky's leaders are Riley and guard Louie Dampier, the first Wildcat duo in history to average over 20 points each in the same season. Riley scored 58 points in the regionals. Utah made it to the final gathering of four despite the loss of its biggest man, 6-7 George Fisher, who broke his leg before the tournament be gan.

DTH Photo by Jock Lauterer Braves On Guard In Training Camp By MIKE RATHET Associated Press Sports Writer WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) In Milwaukee, the Braves are on trial. In West Palm Beach, the Braves are on guard. With the exception of Ma ager Bobby Bragan, an out spoken critic of the state of Wisconsin, the city of Mil waukee and the officials of both, few words are volunteer ed here about the actual court room proceedings in Milwau kee. Physically, the approach is less subtle. At the Braves' training site, the last remind ers of the Milwaukee Braves have been firmly erased. The signs have been redone. Everything is carefully label ed Atlanta Braves. And visit ing reporters are handed blue and red baseball caps with the bold white letter A. Bragan meanwhile, remains the one firm link with the sit uationwilling to speak about the case despite its obvious un attractiveness although veter an outfielder Hank Aaron ex pressed certain sentimental re servations about leaving Mil waukee. "The whole case is settled as far as I'm concerned," said Bragan. "We're going to play in Atlanta. "To me the whole thing is like a child custody case where one state rules one thing and another rules something else. If the child is in Tennessee and the judge there rules one thing, and the California judge rules another, the usual decision is to keep the child where he is. "The child here is the Braves and we're in Atlanta." Besides, said Bragan some what facetiously, if the Braves were to be forced to move out of Atlanta, Milwaukee cor tainly does not have the No. 1 claim. "If wer move," he said, "there's only one place legal ly and logically Boston. What's the sense of moving us back to Milwaukee until Bos ton sues and says we have - DTH Photo by Jock Lauterer to play there since we left there first. "I know I wouldn't be inter ested in going back to Milwau kee even if the judge rules we have to. I've had it there. As I said in my deposition, I wouldn't go back if they tripled my salary." Bragan went on to cite the aatitude of Milwaukeans as a contributing factor in the Braves' failure to win the Na tional League pennant last year and also said he hadn't noticed his players paying much atten tion to the trial. "We certainly would've had a better chance at winning last year if we had played some where else," Bragan said. "When you play before three packed crowds in Los Angeles, three packed crowds in the Astrodome and three packed crowds in San Francisco, you don't relish the idea of com ing home and playing before 5,000 or 6,000 people. "As for the players, I'm glad they're not concerned with the trial. We've got all we can do to get ready for the season. The lame duck year is behind us, and the only time I've heard any discussion among the players is when something appears in the papers. Eattg BS3 T.

Tar Heel Golfers Ope: By JIM FIELDS The 1966 UXC golf team takes to the fairways today in their frist match of the season against Davidson at Finley Golf Course. This year's Tar Heel team will be led by John Baldwin, defending tournament cham pion, and Steve Robbins, who made honorable mention Ail American last year as a soph omore. Baldwin and Robbins each Sports World Villanova Downs St. Johns Bill Melchionni scored the last three of his 33 points in the final two minutes and five seconds Saturday, giving Villa nova a 63-61 basketball victory over defending champion St. John's, N. Y., in a first round game of the National Invita tion Tournament. San Francisco defeated Penn State 89-77 in the opening game of the doubleheader in Madison Square Garden. The victories advanced Villanova and San Francisco to tonight's quarter-final round, along with the winners of the Saturday evening doubleheader in which Army downed Man hattan and Boston College beat Louisville. Finley Wants Inter-Lea cue Charles O. Finley said Saturday he is convinced the greatest boon which could happen to major league baseball would be inter-league play. The Kansas City Athletic owner said he reached the con clusion after a poll of season ticket holders here in which 97 per cent favored each play. "I 'm absolutely convinced," he said, "that such a deci sion by the two leagues would constitute the greatest justice baseball could pay to the fans, who, after all, are the ones who buy the tickets and who make it possible to build the new stadiums. "This would boost major league attendance immeasurably and, even better than that, it would give the fans a chance to see the whole play and not just one-half of it," he con tinued. "I think everyone knows by now that the American League is 100 per cent in favor of inter-league play. It is the National League which is balking and that, to me, is a very short sighted attitude." Picka Heads All-Academic Freshman John Picka of High Point heads the Carolinas Conference All-Academic basketball team with an "A" aver age. The other four members of the team selected from play ers with a C plus or better average who had participated in at least 50 per cent of his team's games have averages of B or better. Nick Serba of Atlantic Christian has a B plus average, Har old Williford of Pfeiffer, B; Robert Covington of Atlantic Chris tian B; and Charles McConnell of Western Carolina, B. Picka, a 6-10, 230-pounder from Baltimore, Md., averaged 9.2 points a game and broke into the starting lineup midway the season. ;Golfer-Of-Year' Nominees Carolinas Golf Writers Association has nominated five golfers for its annual "golfer of the year" award. The writers announced these nominations Saturday: Raymond Floyd, Fayetteville, N. C, pro; Randy Glover, Florence, S. C, pro; Bill Harvey, Greensboro, N. C, ama teur; Billy Joe Patton, Morganton, N.

"The boys are only looking fair right now," said Coach Ed Kenny yesterday. "They have been making steady improve ment all along and things are looking better each day." The ability to improve as the season goes along was the key to success for last year's championship team. At the be ginning of the season, they were a team with a lot of in experienced sophomores; but by tournament time, they were experienced veterans, and they played like champs in sweep ing the tournament. One of the big reasons for last year's championship was the surprising play of Dick Van Leuvan. Going into the touma the number seven man on the squad, but he shot an amaz ing 147 to finish in a three way tie for second place, three strokes behind Baldwin. Dick, is back this year and with a year's experience should be even better than last year. Starting for the Tar Heels today against Davidson will be Baldwin, who qualified at 290; Robbins, 295; Stan Thompson, 298; Brooks Carey, 299; Brooks Carter, 300; Van Leuvan, 305 and David Owen, 306.
