From Page 87 came a shoulder in3ury to score 20 points, including four free throws in the final minute, as the 17th-rank- ed Blue De,·ils held off Texas A&M. Strickland's performance came at an opportune time, since Danny Ferry, the t am's leading scorer with a 14.4 ;nwage who played only 23 minutes yesterday because of a painful hip injury, was held score- less. "It was a very physical game," Duke Coach Mike Knyzewski said. "Texas A&M is a very athletic and physically mature team. It seemed like as the game went on, we were dropping like flies. Kevin's shoulder went out in the first half. I still don't know how he got it back in." A&M Coach Shelby Metcalf ~aid the Blue Devils (23-8) "showed more patience than we did. They've -been here before, and a few of our player~ were a little nervous. We had difficulty running our offense, and that's a credit lo their defense." A&M, the Suuth.,.est Confer- ence tournament champion and an • CAA participant for the first time !;ince 1980, finish< d 17-14. ·AUBUR 62, SAN DIEGO 61 D spite committing only 15 Joul San Diego held Auburn to 42 percent field-goal shooting and to only one :i point basket in nine tries. Still, Auburn performed better •1han the norm - San Diego oppo• nents hit only 40 percent from the field this season. "When I read they led the na- tion in (shooting) defense, I was ,wondering how they could do it without foulmg," Auburn Coach Sonny Smith said. "I found out. That's to their credit." Mike Jones was the one man .San Diego (24-0) couldn't stop. He hit 11 of 16 shots from the field and scored 24 points for the Tigers 08- 12). San Diego, trailing 62-59 with 12 seconds to play, missed two of four free throws in the last 12 seconds, then saw a potential winning shot wiped out when Paul Leonard was called for a double-dribble with.Jllle second to play.

invited to the NCAA Tournament? The Cards were a mortal 18-14 this season, and while their schedule was tough, the wins didn't come against tough teams. Sorry, Denny, the fact that Louisville won the title last year doesn't warrant a free pass. Do you propose that the Mets automatically be admitted to next fall's playoffs simply because they are the defending World Series champions? That the Giants need not worry about playing their 16 games to qualify for the Super Bowl derby? Do you suggest that the Celtics have been playing all out for nothing this season because they should already have had a playoff berth? Should Penn State be guaranteed a bowl game next Jan. 1 against the No. I-ranked team in the country. Crum's beef should not be with the NCAA for its bold move and he knows this. His beef is strictly with the seemingly mindless Metro Con- ference which risked an embarrassing shutout from the tournament by allowing probation- infected Memphis State to participate in its post-season tournament. Memphis State, natu- rally, won the tournament and the automatic bid, which it naturally couldn't accept. • • • The USO basketball team choked again. The Toreros have been receiving some well- deserved praise for their gutty performance against Auburn. Not many people thought they could give the more talented Tigers a battle, but they actually should have won the game It makes you wonder just what would have happened had 7-footer Scott Thompson been the factor he should have been.

But the reason the Toreros lost, 62-61, was because when the game was on the line they grabbed not the bull by the horns but themselves by the throat. They committed only two turnovers in taking a 33-28 halftime lead, but in the final six minutes of the game they scored only four points and turned the ball over as if it carried a disease, including once with one SC· cond left. What makes this flaw stick out is that it's the same way USD botched the Pepperdine game in the WCAC semifinals the week before. It was also at the six-minute mark that it began suc- cumbing to the pressure of a tournament game, going cold from the floor and piling up the turn- overs. • • •• Considering it was only o days after the Gary McLain story broke, sportscaster Phil Stone may have been wise to have chosen his words better. At one point during Friday's ESPN telecast of the North Carolina State-Florida basketball game Stone - the former sports director at Chan~el 39 - noted that the Wolfpack, which stunned North Carolina in the ACC final, came into the NCAA tournament, uh, "on a high."

WOODY HAYES

Tantrums - and lots of wins o mer Coach oody Hayes I 74 By Bob Oates lo-. ,111fl<'le11. 1 inu• Woody Hayes had been out of foot• ball for more than eight years when he died yesterday morning at 74. He hadn't planned it that way. He had hoped to die with his cleats on. ''I'll never quit," the old coach said two years before Ohio State fired him in 1978. "When I leave, I'll do it by dying on the 50-yard line at Ohio Stadium." A friend asked him: What if losing? "Then I won't go," Hayes said. you're Hayes' physician, Robert Murphy, said that the volatile coach died of a heart at- tack. His wife, Anne, found him dead in bed at their home in Upper Arlington, near the Ohio State campus, when she awoke at 6 a.m. yesterday. The la t, inactive years were the hard• est for Hayes, who coached the Buckeyes 28 seasons before they sacked him for hitting a Clem on player in the 1978 Gator Bowl. Pri- vately, he said his life ended that night. But publtcly, he could joke about it - some• times. He Insisted, for example, that when he lashed at Clemson nose tackle Charlie Bau- man with his powerful nght forearm, he was only trying to knock the ball out of the player's hands. "If I'd meant to hit him, I would have

s udy is becoming a popular sum- ~er getaway. Here are three Span- lJ!h programs that involve visits to t!tree different countries: Mexico Spain and Guatemala. ' Phoenix College, in cooperation w!th the University of Sae Diego, will offer a three-week program in Guadalajara this summer, with classes varying from Mexican art to Mexican folk dance. The program will be from July 1 through 22 at the Colegia Anahuac. All participants will enroll in two classes: Spanish conversation and Mexican art or Mexican folk dance. The courses may be taken for ~ollege credit and will be taught by mstructors from the Colegio Ana- huac. . Cost of the program, which mcludes room, board and tuition, is $700. A $150 deposit is required at the time of enrollment, and the bal~n.ce of ~550 is du~ by May 5. !ndlVlduals mterested m participat- mg need not be current Phoenix College students. Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico's second-largest city, is on Mexico's broad, central plateau at an alti- tude of more than 5,000 feet. It has a year-round mild climate. For more information, contact Delia Escalante-Sanchez at Phoenix College, 1202 W. Thomas Road, 264-2492, Ext. 410 or 411. In Salamanca, Spain, there's ~noth~r opportunity to learn Span- ish via exposure and immersion. It's called Spanish Language Camp and it also takes place in the month of July. The program's director is Russell Mimn, a teacher in the Flagstaff public schools. "The program got its start when I realized that there were several tour packages avail- able to younger students where they were herded around like cattle by counselors (usually educators), but no opportunities for students to live for a period of time in a European city," he said.

Wins Respect, Loses toAuburn, 62-61~

By CHRIS COBBS, Times Staff Writer I DIANAPOLIS-As the.. Uni..:.- v~ity of San D~ basketball team left the floor, a crowd of 29,Gl0 m the Hoosier Dome rose to give the Torcro a standing ova- tion. And it wasn't because the fans, mo t attired in the red and white of Indiana University, were anticipat- mg an easy game for the Hoosiers Saturday against some lightweight from Southern Cahforma. On the contrary. USO had Just "1st to Auburn, 62-61, in the fnst round of the Midwest Regional Thursday night but gamed the respect of Indiana fans There were two disappointmg mom nts for USD m the last six econds. With the Toreros trailing, 62-60, Danny Means had a chance

to force an overtime, but he made only or. of two free throws after making a steal and being fouled. USD had one last chance when Mark Manor rebounded a missed free throw by Auburn's Frank Ford with five seconds left. Manor gave the ball to guard Paul Leon- ard, who we nearly the length of the floor before being called for double dribbl~ USD Coach Hank Egan didn't like the call, but conceded that he wasn't an obJcclivc observer. "Just once in my hfe I hope to get a call like that at the end of a game," Egan said. But the Toreros seemed to have no regrets. They came here deter- mmcd to prove that they belonged in the NCAA tournament, and they succeeded.

controlled the tempo, played its trademark defense and made a believer of Auburn Coach Sonny Smith. "We're not much better than what you saw tonight," Smith said. "We normally shoot better than that, but our defense isn't much better." Mike Jones scored 24 points for Auburn and had 7 rebounds. Center Jeff Moore had 14 rebounds and Chris Morris added 11 as the Tiger owned the boards, 42-30. · Means had 18 points for San Diego, Thompson added 14 and Manor scored 11. Thompson, after drawing two quick fouls, watched most of the first half from the bench as Means scored 11 points and Manor 9 to put USD ahead at halftime, 33-28.

"The gap between us and the powerhouse schools is narrowing," senior center Scott Thompson said. "We can play with anybody now. We have some talented players, and I think we will get some recognition now." It went Auburn's way at the start, when the Tigers bolted to a 9-0 lead, and also at the end, after a couple of turnovers helped the Tigers erase a USD lead with five minutes left. Auburn made two crucial steals after the going to a 1-3-1 trappmg zone defense late in the game. Guards Gerald White and Ford, scoreless m the first half, put the Tigers ahead with back-to-back layups, and USD never quite re- covered. For the much of the game, USD
