Seven-foot John Salley scored 12 of his 15 points in the second half to lead the Yellow Jackets, while Price and Dalyrmple each added 13. Georgetown, 34-2, survived because of the poor shooting of Georgia Tech guard Mark Price, who was a 49 percent shooter during the season but hit only three of 15 from the outside against the Hoyas. Georgia Tech, 27-8, overcame a four-point deficit midway through the game and fought the Hoyas down to the end. Reserves Ralph Dalton, filling in for the foul-plagued Ewing, and Horace Broadnax combined for nine points as Georgetown pulled to a 51-46 lead.

The Eagles became the first team in history s left in to win the Catholic championship, the zo of an Detroit city championship, and the bottom state championship in the same season.

Allen Park Inter-City Baptist 70, Bridgman 60 Allen Park Inter-City Baptist was not the quickest team in the Michigan Class D basketball tournament. It wasn't the tallest and it didn't have the deepest bench either. But it was probably the most patient, and its patience paid off in the form of a state championship. The Chargers defeated Bridgman, 70- 60, in the titular clash last night at Crisler. INTER-CITY'S slow, methodical of- fense was successful in opening up Brad Soucie (20 points) and Tracy Fressel (10 points) for jumpers from the corners. But it was Charger guard Mark Kraatz who controlled the pace of the game. When he wasn't stealing the ball and going coast-to-coast for a layup, which he did five times, he was running Inter-City's delay. "We're not very good at bringing a team out of the four corners,' said Bridgman coach Douglas Hendricks. "We've had trouble doing that all season, and that was against human beings. But with Kraatz out there... forget-it." " The Chargers led 15-10 after one quarter, but turned the game into a route in the second frame. Kraatz scored his team's final eight points, mostly on layups, to pit Inter-City to a 33-18 intermission lead. Bridgman played the Chargers evenly in the third quarter. The Bees began to get a few second-chance buckets after having only two offensive rebounds in the first 16 minutes. But Brad Soucie found his spot, hitting for eight points from the left corner. -RICK KAPLAN SPOR TS OF THE DAILY: Blue Jays hold on, nip Tigers, 3-2 LAKELAND, Fla.

Kentucky considering Hall's successor DENVER (AP)-Joe B. Hall, retiring after 13 seasons at the University of Kentucky, said yesterday he was con- fident the school would "make a wise decision and choose a good coach" to head one of college basketball's toughest programs. "I don't have a blueprint for the right coach. You can have success in many shapes and forms," the 56-year-old Hall told reporters in his hotel room. THE LIST of rumored successors was impressive even before Hall an- nounced his retirement. They included Pat Riley, coach of the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers, college coaches Lee Rose of South Florida and Eddie Sutton of Arkansas, and Hall's assistant, Lake Kelly. Hall announced his retirement Friday night, shortly after No. 3 St. John's improved its record to 30-3 by pounding the Wildcats 86-70 in the semi- finals of the NCAA West Regional tour- nament. Kentucky finished at 18-13. HALL SAID he had an emotional meeting with his players afterward to discuss his decision to step down. "It was very touching. I couldn't do much talking, and I don't think the players could, either. They all came up to my room afterward, but it was still hard to get words out," Hall said.
