THE VANDALS AND THE BIROKEN I EADS * by Rob Saltzstein By The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS - The East spurted in the final 3%/ minutes last night, breaking up a see-saw battle for a 126-120 victory over the West in the first American BasketballnAssociation All-Star game. Kentucky's Randy Mahaffey scored all four of his points in the final splurge to bring the East from a two-point deficit to a 112- 112 tie with 3:35 left. Then the regulars-Mel Daniels and Don Freeman of Minnesota and Louie Dampier of Kentucky- took over, outscoring the West 14- 7 to clinch the victory. Larry Brown, New Orleans' 5- foot-9 sparkplug, made the West's last basket with the ABA's most spectacular innovation-the the three-point field goal. Brown was named the game's Most Valu- able Player by sports writers and broadcasters covering the contest. in the first half but poured Oscar Robertson led Cincinnatit through 14 in the second half with 27 points and Jerry Lucas and grabbed several key rebounds. had 21.

Everywhere you look it seems there has to be a story about a winner. But what about a loolk at how the other half lives? You know, those poor little blobs who are used as fodder for the champions to build their records on. As the old saying goes, for every winner there must be a loser. So it is in the hope of giving publicity where publicity is due that I salute some of the great losers of 1967 and yesteryear. Without them there would have been no winners. First stop, of course, is the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. The District is probably the most potent breeding ground for losers in the United States. Last year the University of Mary- land, the Washington Senators and the Washintgon Redskins made their usual splash on the sports world in a big way. x-Late game not included.

Going back to last season that makes it thirteen losses in a row for the Terrapins and the end is not in sight. "We're deemphasizing football," a friend who attends the univer- sity at College Park explainedto me. I accepted the excuse until it suddenly occurred to me that Maryland had hired a coach the season before by the name of Lou Saban. That's right, the same Lou Saban* who now coaches the Denver Bronco's and who previously guided the Buffalo Bills to an AFL championship. Saban quit after a year but he is hardly the type of person a school names as its head coach unless they are interested in building up the sport. And how about Dennis McLain of the Detroit Tigers? In the heat of the pennant race his foot went to sleep on him and put him out of action for the last six or seven crucial games. While we are on the subject of baseball let us also not forget Eddie Stanky of the Chicago White Sox. When the pennant race was at its hottest his team dropped four in a row to the Kansas City Athletics. "Chuck Dobson of Kansas City will not stand in our way," Stanky said before the big series. So all Dobson didawas shut him out on two hits and then let Blue Moon Odum and Jim Nash finish the job. Obviously it is not always a good thing to brag about your ability or team before a game. Gary Collins of the Cleveland Browns will testify to this. Before the championship game with Dallas this year in which the Cowboys blew the Browns off the field 52-14 Collins let himself be quoted as saying, "There is no reason I should not have a good game. Cornell Green (Dallas defensive halfback assigned to cover Collins) has never given me any trouble." Well Green caught as many passes as Collins did (one) and never let Gary stray far from him for the entire game. Every now and then Sports Illustrated throws its hat into the losers ring also. Take, for example, the college football issue this year. Pictures of Teyas, Miami of Florida, Notre Dame and Georgia were placed on the cover under the caption of "The fight for number one." Well those four teams lost a total of thirteen games between them and only Notre Dame finished in the top ten. But the greatest loser of them all all has to be Abner Haynes of the one time Dallas Texans. You remember Abner don't you? Four season or so ago he led the A.FL in rushing and Dallas into the AFL i championship game. As captain of the team it was on Abner that the burden of the decision making fell in penalty situations. If you wil remeber, that championship game ended in a tie after regulation play and went into a sudden death play off. The first team to score would win. One can only speculate wha happened when Abner sauntered to midfield to call the coin flip. He called heads and won and now let us listen in on the sports bloop of the century. "Abner," says the referee, "you have won the toss. It is sudden death ani the first team to score in any way wins. There is no tomorrow, Abner. All the marbles now ride on every play. The first team to score wins. Abner, do you kick or do you receive?" Says Abner without hesitation, "I'll kick." I 0 STUDENTS, traveling in Europe this summer?
