Show Wednesday, Merch 24, 1976 u yioidlyp Page 7 Fire feils&n m iiiw SdM life pi by Bill Roland Indiana continued its relentless march toward the national championship with an impressive victory over Marquette and joined UCLA, Rutgers and Big-Ten runnerup Michigan in the semifinals of the NCAA Basketball Tournament. The Hoosiers, 30-0 and ranked No. 1 defeated No. 2 Marquette , Saturday 65-56 to win the Mideast regional at Baton Rouge, La., defending Champion UCLA overpowered Arizona 82-66 in the West regional on the Bruins home court in Los Angeles; No. 4 Rutgers, still undefeated at 31-0, ran by Virginia Millitary 91-75 in the East regional at Greensboro, N.C. while No. 9 Michigan dusted Missouri 95-88 to win the Midwest regional at Louisville, Ky. So it's on to Philadelphia where Indiana will play UCLA and Rutgers will meet Michigan in the semifinals next Saturday afternoon. The winners play for the National title Monday night, March 29. On the strength of their overall depth, raw talent, and excellent coaching I look for Indiana to shatter the UCLA mystique and defeat the Bruins Saturday afternoon. I also feel that the Scarlet Knights of Rutgers will face reality and their dream year will be turned to nightmare by Ricky Green and his teammates from Michigan. Therefore I predict one all Big-Ten final, Indiana playing Michigan with the Hoosiers taking all the marbles and, as the song goes, for the year 1976, the NCAA trophy will proudly sit "Back Home in Indiana." Kentucky wins NIT r The. Kentucky Wildcats perennial powehouse iinUheidutheasffeonerencefflanigfe 'Salvage 'what was1 a rather disappointing season by pulling it together and defeating UNC-Charlotte UNC-Charlotte 71-67 Sunday to capture the National Invitational Tournament. With 10:11 left in the game, UNC-Charlotte held a 54-47 advantage but Coach Rose ordered a slow-down offensive at which time the Wildcats started to jell and finally took the lead with 1:06 remaining. Mike Phillips was the big man for the Wildcats, with five points in the last minute including a tip-in with nine seconds left that locked up the championship. "Phillips' big play at the end was a super effort and we really needed it," said Kentucky Coach Joe Hall. "The big thing about this team is that for the last 10 games they have simply refused to be beaten, I had all the confidence in the world that we were going to win this one." Hubert Green captures Jacksonville Open Hubert Green fired a two-under par 70 on Sunday afternoon to post a victory in the Greater Jacksonville Open Golf Tournament, his second consecutive win on the pro tour. Last week, Hubie was a runaway winner of the Doral Open in Miami. The lean and lanky Green, who describes himself as "just a skinny kid from Alabama," traded jokes and one-liners with the gallery en route to his two-stroke victory over veteran Miller Barber. Green threw away one early three stroke lead Sunday when he took a double-bogey five at the third hole, but quickly regained his composure with a birdie at the next hole and reopened a three-stroke lead at No. 11 when he birdied and Barber bogeyed. But drama filled the Deerwood Country Club as Barber birdied the 16th and moments later Hubert three-putted the 17th and ' suddenly had but a single stroke lead. Green drove into a bunker off the 18th tee then, calmly lashed the ball to within 18 inches of the cup and tapped in the birdie that assured his victory. David Pearson wins Atlanta 500 David Pearson, overcame a tire problem that put him a lap down early in the race, took on a full set of tires with 50 miles to go and sped away from Benny Parsons for victory Sunday in the Atlanta "500" stock car race. "I'm give out," Pearson said in victory lane as he thrust out his hands to show two large blisters. "This is the hardest race I've ever run and I've got these blisters to prove it," he said. . David also picked up the winner's share of $17,000. Perhaps that will make those 'blisters seem worthwhile. . , , . Answers to last week's Sports Quiz Roger Bannister defeated John Landy in the mile of the Century, covering the distance in 3:58.8 to Landy 's 3:59.6.
