Morehead State coach Bill Harrell did not practice his team Sunday night.

"We've lost five straight," he said. "We just decided we wouldn't come by to practice." Morehead State has four of its starters averaging in double figures with Leonard Cover Coulter's 23.9-per-game average high. Illinois State assistant coach Gene Smithson, who has seen Morehead State play twice, said the Eagles fast break a lot. "They will free lance quite a bit off the break," said Smithson. "They play a man-to-man defense and pick you up at half court.

"They're a very physical team. They tied for the Ohio Valley Conference championship last year and have everyone back. This is the third year they've played together. "They really flow down the floor. They're a very explosive team and last year they hurt us with their fast break." Illinois State coach Will Robinson is still at a loss for words in trying to figure out what happened at Ball State Saturday night.

"The team seemed in wonderful spirits before the game," said Robinson. "There was no indication we were going to go into the kind of tail spin that we did. I have never had a team play 12 minutes last season, was allowed to choose the shooting spots, which had to be at least 25 feet out. Each player shot five times from five positions on the floor. Collins made 17 of 25 and Lamar hit on 12 of 25.

The first 10 shots were from 30 feet out. Collins drilled 6 of 10 and Lamar made 2 of 10. The NCAA approved the exhibition. Southwestern Louisiana then worked out for an hour. Illinois State followed with a 60-minute workout.

Collins is the darling of New York. New York Knicks' star Walt Frazier spent more than an hour with Doug Sunday. Frazier wants his agent to represent Doug. And, Frazier's agent is really a front for Walt himself. Johnny Roche of the New York Nets had dinner with Doug Sunday night.

"Let's face it," said a New York writer. "Any crowd that comes out tomorrow night will be there to see Collins. They're not about to come out to see Illinois State play Morehead State." It costs $7.50 per ticket. and just score four points," said Robinson. "I told them I was not displeased with their effort and I thought they were just unlucky.

They are not annoyed with each other. Their spirit is good and their attitude is good. But, it leaves me dumbfounded as to wli ft takes to get the job done." Morehead State has been bolstered by the return of Ron Nicholson, a 6 foot 8 inch senior center. Nicholson played briefly in the Eagles 103-86 defeat at Oral Roberts Saturday night, his first action since Nov. 20 when he broke his hand.

Nicholson received the school's "rejector" award last season after blocking a record 104 shots. The pivot man handles the ball well and goes to the basket skillfully. He is a good leaper with speed and quickness. Illinois State is in good physical condition with the exception of Collins, who is recovering from the flu, and Stepney Bacon, who hasn't recovered fully from a bout with the intestinal flu. i i t.

Jett missed on two field goals while Goerger missed on one. Jett's first attempt was blocked by Nebraska's Bill Janssen after a bad snap from center on the 34 yard line and the second fell far short.

Goerger's miss was on a 27 yard attempt that sailed wide to the right. The victory was the fourth for the North against only one loss in the series and handed Head Coach Bob Devaney a final college victory. He has retired as coach at Nebraska to devote full time to the job of athletic director. The game also closed out the 1972 collegiate football season. JL f' TAMPA, Fla.

(UPI) Louisville's John Madeya hit tight end Jerry List of Nebraska with a 16-yard touchdown pass with just under five minutes to play Sunday to give the North a 10-6 come-from-behind victory over the South in the American Bowl football game. It was the only touchdown of the game. A crowd of 23,418 watched the two units move back and forth in the defensive struggle. South defensive tackle John Matuszak, who was in the North backfield much of' the game, was voted the South's most valuable player, while the most valuable North team award went to starting quarterback Mike Wells of Illinois. The South had taken the lead for the first time with 9:46 left in the game when Gardner Jett of Auburn kicked his second field goal of the day, a 38-yarder, to send the South out to a 6-3 lead.

His first field goal was an American Bowl record 44 yards, and the longest of his career, to bring the South up into a tie. The North had gone ahead in the second period when John Goerger of Kansas State, a native of Tampa, kicked a 32-yard field goal as the gun sounded to end the first half. Goerger also kicked the extra point after the Madeya-to-List touchdown. The winning touchdown came on the drive following Jett's second field goal and covered 75 yards in nine plays. The South failed to capitalize on a golden opportunity in the final period when Drane Scrivener of Tulsa raced 72 yards with a punt return before being tackled on the North 14 yard line.

But on the first play Don Ray Ealey of Texas fumbled and the ball was recovered by Larry Allen of Illinois on the eight yard line.

Sophomore Mike Fiddelke put Kansas ahead 61-59 with 12 seconds left in regulation play with a pair of free throws, but Shumate tied it for the Irish with five seconds left when he put Gary Brokaw's missed shot back in. Brokaw hit a quick field goal to put Notre Dame ahead to stay in the overtime, and Clay added three of four free throw attempts to put the Irish ahead 66-61 before Wilson Barrow hit a basket and a free throw.

Shipley has other things to think about 125 other things as a matter of fact.

That's the number of player recruiting violations he's alleged to have committed. Shipley, however, calls the charges by the National Collegiate Athletic Association "political." ''Ninety five per cent of our trouble" stems from charges made by a disgruntled graduate assistant that Shipley fired two years ago, the coach insisted on the eve of a college basketball doubleheader at nearby Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale. Shipley indicated that the dismissed employe fired off a letter to the NCAA disclosing the alleged recruiting violations as an act of revenge. Shipley added that he was also caught in a political squeeze from schools who resented Southwestern's recent rise as a national power and by Louisiana offi- Buffalo 16 II 21 41 96 Chicago 26 29 36 28119 Fouled out None.

"It's a difficult role," said Allen, who was cast as playmaker Sunday after the reliable Robertson hurt himself in the first quarter of a National Basketball Association game. Allen knew what to do, though. He gave the ball to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the slick center poured in 37 points to lead a 99-92 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. "I made some mistakes a couple shots I should have made and a couple of bad passes, but fortunately we got the breaks at the end to win it," said Allen.

With help from Allen, Abdul-Jabbar scored 13 points in the final period to help the Bucks pull away. "Jabbar made some really tough shots at the end and that really gave them said Los Angeles center Wilt Chamberlain, who had to guard the Bucks' big man.

"But the main thing in the past was that some of our procedures for getting players were not set up properly." Shipley wasn't particularly clear about the "procedures" in recruiting players, but added: "We've admitted to some Irregularities that go against NCAA rules but we don't think that they were violations." The trouble came to light on the pages of two Louisiana newspapers the New Orleans Times Picayune and the Alexandria Tovn Talk. In weekend stories, they reported that Shipley was being charged by the NCAA with several recruiting violations. A key charge included making arrangements for basketball prospects to take illegal entrance exams. The NCAA had asked Shipley, among others, to answer these alleged violations at a hearing in Chicago Tuesday. But on Saturday, a federal court judge barred the NCAA from holding the hearing.

U.S. District Court Judge Richard Putman signed a restraining order at the request of William Guste, Louisiana's attorney general. Explained Guste: "Our concern was not with the merit of the charges but with the merit of the right of the university for additional time to prepare an adequate defense." Shipley will have that time, it seems, although the NCAA has promised to fight the restraining order. Judge Putnam set a further hearing for Jan. 15 "to determine whether the university should be allowed additional time to prepare a defense for the hearing before the NCAA." Meanwhile, the eighth ranked Ragin Cajuns will playing ball tonight whether or not Shipley's heart is in it.

"I enjoyed my stay at the University of Louisville and I hope we accomplished some of the things we set out to do.
