Bennett competed last week in the NCAA championships, where
Bennett broke the American record in the 100-yard backstroke.
NEW YORK (RP) - The, AAU
Stars broke open a tie game with
a string of 10 straight off the
NCAA White team 101-94 last
night in a championship semi-
final of the U.S. Olympic bas-
ketball trials.
The Stars moved into the
championship finals against the
NCAA Red team. The Reds, led by
Jim Barnes, the Big, Bad News
from Texas' border country, bomb-
ed the NAIA All-Stars 85-66 in
the other semifinal.
In earlier action, the NCAA
Blues, led by Walt 'Hazzard and
Barry Kramer, bolted over the
Armed Forces Jets 81-72 and the
AAU Stripes took the Armed Forc-
es Missiles 76-0 in consolation
semifinals..
The AAU Stars, made up largely
of the AAU champion Akron Good-
year Wingfoots, broke out of a 49-
49 tie with 12 straight points,
then spent the rest of a busy eve-
ning fighting off repeated NCAA
White thrusts in a wide-open dis-
play. The AAU outscored the
Whites 66-63 in the frantic last
calf.
Foul Difference
The big difference was in fouls.
The NCAA team outscored the
Stars 43 field goals to 33, but the
Stars beat the NCAA on the foul
line 35-8.
The AAU put six men in double
figures, with Pete McCaffrey lead-
ing the scorers at 22. Larry Brown
had 20, including 12 from the foul
line and Jerry 1Shipp had 18.
Charley Bowerman contributed 12.
Dick Davies and George Wilson
had 10 each.
Leading the NCAA Whites with
20 was little Manny Newsome, who
keyed the last desperate drive, at
the Stars. Other leading White
scorers were Joe Caldwell and Fred
Hetzel, 14 each, and Steve Thom-
as, 10.
The Reds, including All-Amer-
icas Dave Stallworth and Bill
Bradley, along with Jeff Mullins,
Willie Murrell, Wally Jones and
Mel Counts, had little trouble in
their conquest of the game NAIA
team.

Olympics by individuals, not by
teams.
Reds Win Easily
The Reds showed easily the
greatest aggregation, handling the
good NAIA team with almost con-
temptuous ease. They were so
deep and talented that, at times,
they had the 7-foot Counts play-
ing a corner position and the 6-'
foot-6 Murrell in the backcourt
with Mullins.
The Reds trailed only at 1-0,
romped out to a 15-10 lead and
never were in serious trouble
again. They led 46-32 at the half
and continued to pile it
spite the best efforts
NAIA's Willis Reed and
Jackson, each of whom
with 13 points.
All-Americas Shine
Kramer, All-America at New
York University in 1963, popped
in 19 points while playing about
one half the time while the All-
America Hazzard directed the
show. Hazzard finished with 10
points and a handful of assists.
The Blues had a 40-32 halftime
lead and quickly improved it to
44-32 on baskets by Al Johnson
and Kramer and were never in
trouble again,
Gail Goodrich of UCLA had 13
points while big Doug Williams
on, de-
of the
Lucious
finished
of the Air Force led the losers
with 15.
The Stripes had to overcome a
solid, 20-point performance by the
Army's Bunky Adams, an Ohio
University graduate, to trim the
Missiles.
The decisive factor was the 13-1
scoring burst late in the second
half. The AAU team was trailing
59-5T when it started.
Little Bill Bradley hit on a long
jumper to tie it up, and his team-
mate at Tennessee State, Willie
Porter,. put the AAU ahead to
stay when he hit on a drive. Cecil
Walker added four points and
Porter had another field goal as
the AAU bolted out to a 71-60
lead, tuen coasted in.

Thompson Replaces Miller
As Wichita's Cage Coach,
cision was reached late Thursday
night.
"Thompson has established him-
self as genuinely qualified for this
position," Lindquist said. 'He

cellent experience, and the will to
do a first class job.

basketball season in 1963-64. The
team, with a 21-5 regular 4eason

ond place in the NCAA regional
