Only three of nine squads were victorious in Satur- day's intersectional contests. Michigan firmly established it- self as the team to beat in the conference following its 26-9 drubbing of UCLA. The only other winners were Wisconsin and Iowa. For two quarters in Cham- paign, Illinois, it looked like the home team might upset Southern Cal, the country's number one squad. But USC exploded for 35 second half points to bury the Illini, 55-20. Illinois, playing without injured quarterback Mike Wells, col- lapsed under its opponent's sec- ond half power generated by a devastating rushing attack anda passing combo' of Mike Rae to John (J.D.) McKay (son of the USC coach). The Rae-McKay duo put South- ern Cal ahead for the first time, 20-14, with only 21 seconds left in the first half. From there, it was all downhill for Illinois. Describing USC, Illinois coach Bob Blackman said, "It's one of the most talented teams I've ever seen. We never quit, but we felt like we were trying to hold I en gridders back a flood all day."

Seemingly unbeatable in the opening half, the Boilermakers put together well-engineered 86, 80, and 80 yard drives for their scores. Danielson rushed for 82 yards in the first scoring series and 206 for the half. 'The tide abruptly turned how- ever, and the second half belong- ed exclusively to Washington.

NEW YORK - The Atlanta Hawks have been fined $25,000 for playing Julius Erving in two ex- hibition games over the weekend. National Basketball Association Commissioner Walter Kennedy an- nounced yesterday. In imposing the fine - the larg- est since he took office on Sept. 1, 1963 - Kennedy said the Hawks played Erving in direct violation of two directives he issued last week. The directives said Erving could not play for Atlanta in any pre- season or regular season games. Erving played for Atlanta Satur- day night in a 112-109 victory over the Kentucky Colonels of the Amer- ican Basketball Association at Frankfort, Ky. and led both teams in scoring with 28 points and in re- bounding with 18. He played 42 minutes, despite a ruling by the NBA Board of Governors in San Francisco last week that he should be the, property of the Milwaukee Bucks. Erving also played in S u n d a y night's 104-103 loss to Kentucky at Atlanta. Last season, Erving, who drop- ped out of the University of Mass- achusetts after his senior year, played with the Virginia Squires of the ABA. Kennedy was last November giv- en the power to issue fines up to ..."......... ......:"I:'1!:: :"!:'.'.SSS . . . . . . r .1 \..." :.:...........:.""::"...".............:....v!fJ.:r...i """:..........fl i hJ"::!""~i. . r Atlanta Hawks fined for misusing Erving Big Ten Standings CONFERENCE ALL GAMES MICHIGAN Ohio State Michigan State Indiana Wisconsin Purdue Iowa Minnesota Illinois Northwestern W L 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 T Pct. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1.000 1.000 1.000 1.000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 W L 2 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 2 0 0 2 1 1 0 2 0 2 0 2 T 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Pts. 36 21 40 55 62 35 19 29 20 0 OP 9 0 26 54 14 39 32 65 7f 44 15,000 for conduct detrimental to the NBA. However, the National Basket- ball Association club said it would not pay the fine and revealed it was suing the league and Kennedy for $2 million. Kennedy's fine and the anti- trust suit by the Hawks and Erving were two more in a series of maneuvers in the Erving case that began when he jumped from the Squires'after last season. Atlanta's announced refusal to pay the fine shapes up as the first challenge to the unprecedented power given Kennedy by the NBA last November. "For playing Julius Erving in two exhibition games over the past weekend in violation of my direc- tives of Sept. 21 and 22, Atlanta is hereby fined $25,000," Kennedy wired Hawks President William Putnam. "Please be advised that those directives are still in full force and effect." "You can believe we will refuse to pay," said Putnam in Atlanta when notified of the fine. "We'll just let the courts decide the matter. At this point we have filed our suit and we'll do our talking in court. "We feel quite strongly that the NBA action last week was illegal, which is the reason we have gone to court." The Hawks filed their anti-trust suit Sunday in advance of Ken- nedy's announcement of the fine. The suit, set for a hearing in fed- eral court in Atlanta, Sept 29, charges the NBA and Kennedy with Sherman Antitrust Act viola- tions in applying NBA bylaws to the situation.

Fearless Tom, who never did answer the ques- ti n why anybody ini the world would want to eat that much cereal, tabbed the UCLA Bruins as certain victors.
