(AP) Duke University Wednesday cancelled both of this season's basketball games with the Uni versity of South Carolina in the continuing controversy ove South Caroina's ineligible sophomore basketball s t a r , Mike Grosso. The action was taken under authorization by the Atlantic Coast Conference. The confer ence announced at its meet ing last Friday that member schools which considered it "in advisable" to play on the South Carolina court this season could either seek to reschedule the games for neutral courts or, failing this, crucel. South Carolina was granted the same option. The teams were to have met on the Duke court next Mon day and at Columbia, Feb. 11. Both reportedly were trying to arrange substitute games. Duke Athletic Director Ed die Cameron announced the cancellation in a brief state ment in which Grosso was re ferred to, but not identified. Cameron commented, "We are not mad. But it is the feeling of the Duke adminis tration that this incident has grown out of proportion and PLAYING SANTA is more run . .

He added that it had been suggested that the teams play r on neutral courts, but this was not considered feasible by Duke. South "Carolina officials, s however, made it clear that r they favored playing both ; games against Duke and and would have done so at ; Durham if Duke did not want I to play in Columbia. In fact, a university spokes man said, South Carolina's in- ; terpretation of the ACC rul ing permitting cancellations was that only games at Co- v lumbia could be cancelled, not ;, those on the opponent's home court. :' South Carolina Athletic Di rector Paul Dietzel issued this ; statement: "When I questioned the com- missioner of the Atlantic Coast Confference Jim Weaver, this morning, he told me that' it : was the intent of the Atlantic ' Coast Conference, that any : member insititution had the prerogative that Duke has ex- ercised. , Therefore, the officials of : Duke University are within , the rights granted them by the , Atlantic Coast' Conference at the Dec. 7 meeting held at Hil ton Head Island, S. C. "Regrettable as it is to lose two fine scheduled Atlantic Coast Conference games, the University of South Carolina accepts the decision. "We have enjoyed a long and pleasant rivalry in all sports with Duke University, and the University of South Carolina plans that this will continue," Dietzel added. ACC President Dr. Ralph Fa dum of North Carolina State, said previously the league had authorized - such action "be cause of the climate created by events of the past several months." He added that the conference was "conscious of the fact that basketball TROY'S STEREO 135 E. Franklin 929-6561 CENTER im don M?

J., was declared ineligible last Octo ber by the ACC executive committee. Later, Fadum said irregularities in admissions procedures in Grosso's case were behind the decision. The NCAA has investigated the case and its decision is ex pected next month. South Carolina coach Frank McGuire was reprimanded last week by South Carolina President Dr. Thomas Jones for his sharp public criticism of the conference. Cameron issued this state ment: "Due to the unfortunate ser ies of events connected with the determination of the eligi bility of a South Carolina bas ketball player this year, it is the feeling of the athletic officials at Duke that the re gular season games between USC and Duke should not be held this season. "In no way should this be construed as a break in ath letic relations between the two universities, since we have future scheduled meetings in other major sports, Rather, this is merely the cancella tion of two basketball games. This does not preclude the pos ; sibility that our' teams may meet during the ACC tourna ment next March. "The schools are attempting to schedule games with other institutions to replace the two games on their schedules." UNC Athletic Director Chuck Erickson said that he is "hopeful" that a new head football coach can be named by Friday. The University five - man screening committee had an appointment with a candidate late Wednesday afternoon. One more interview may be in order, Erickson said, "be fore we can get down to the meat of it." "I hope that by Friday we may be able to make an an nouncement, but we still may have to hold off until next week." Jim Hickey resigned the head coaching position shortly after this year's team finished its season with a 2-8 record. Hickey, who had been at Chapel Hill for eight years, accepted a job as Athletic Di rector at the Univeersity of Connecticut. The list of candidates for the job numbered over 70, of which a half dozen have been interviewed. Candidates came from the ranks of college and professional coaches and ex coaches. The rumor mill has been constantly in motion since Hickey stepped down, but the consensus is that the choice has been narrowed down to three menJohn Ray, an as sistant coach at Notre Dame, Bill Dooley, an assistant at Georgia, and Jerry Claiborne, head coach at VPI. The latest rumor, and it must be stressed that nothing is known for a fact, is that Ray may be out of the run ning. His reported demands for a long-term contract and high salary plus criticism of UNC's athletic program may have caused him to fall in dis favor with the Carolina Ath letic Committee. Dooley is reported a serious candidate at Mississippi State as well as UXC. Claiborne, who says he is happy at VPI, could still be enticed to either UNC or Vanderbilt. The possi bility of a dark-horse candi date previously unmentioned still exists also. Dolphins Upset Middies 55-41 See sports writer Joe San ders' story in tomorrow's DTH.
