Munich schedule drawn;
U.S. defends cage gold
By The ssociated Press
MUNICH - The United States,
winer of e v e r y basketball
championship in the Olympics
since the competition was inaug-
urated in 1936, opens defense of
its gold medal against Czecho-
slovakia on Sunday afternoon.
The Americans, coached by
Hlank Iba for the third straight
time, have been placed in
group A along with Cuba and
Brazil. Cuba defeated the U. S.
in last year's Pan-American
Games, thus preventing the
Yanks from gaining the finals
for the first time ever.
Brazil, the winners in the com-
petition at Cali, Colombia, also
is in the same pool with Cuba
and the U.S.A.
The schedule finds Ibas ath-
letes opposing Australia on Mon-
day afternoon and then Cuba
and Brazil in consecutive eight
games on Aug. 29 and 30.
No games are scheduled for
Aug. 31, and following the one-
day break, the United States re-
sinnes with Egypt on Sept. 1.
Spain Sept. 2 and Japan Sept. 3
to complete the opening round.
For the semifinals, the two
best teams in each group play
a single elimination - 1st place
A vs. 2nd place B and 2nd place
A vs, 1st place B.
In the finals, the witners of
the seminfinals play for first and
second place, the losers for
third and fourth. The third and
fourth-place teams in A and B
play for final placings five-to-
eight; the fifth and sixth teams
for nine-to-12 and the seventh
and eighth for 13-16.
The United States goes into
the Olympics with only one hold-
over from last year's Pan-Am-
erican team, Jim Forbes, a 6-
foot-8 forward from the Uni-
versity of Texas at El Paso.
The current squad is the
youngest ever to represent the
U.S. as eight of the 12 players
are only 20 years old. It is also
the talest ever, averaging 6-7.
The biggest man is 7-4 Tom
Burleson, a junior at North
Carolina State.
