The Lakeview girls also emerged victorious, walloping Clinton 95-55 at Clinton as Brenda Bond poured in 28 points. Stephen Decatur didn't fare as well, bowing 68-44 to Bloomington at Stephen Decatur. MacArthur's Marsha Bond was taken to Decatur Memorial Hospital following a third-quarter collision with Southeast's Yolanda Jones. She was treated and released, but the ankle injury will keep her on crutches for a week.

MacArthur jumped off to a 21-4 first-quarter lead, with Bond and Natalie Anderson leading the way with six points apiece. The Generals went on to a comfortable 31-19 halftime lead before Southeast made the outcome tense by outscoring MacArthur 27-19 the second half. Southeast drew to within two points at 42-40 in the final period, but a basket and two free throws by Anderson and a free throw each by Ruth Taylor and Sheila Spence pulled MacArthur out of danger.

Brenda Bond sank 12 of 20 shots in leading Lakeview to its top offensive By Th Associated Press Purdue got low marks for artistry, but artistry isn't counted in the standings, so the Boilermakers continue to lead the Big Ten basketball race. -It wasn't a pretty game." Coach Lee Rose said after his team hung on for a 58-56 victory over Minnesota Thursday night to keep a one-game lead over Ohio State, victors over Michigan 66-63, and Indiana, 83-69 winners over Northwestern. The 12th-ranked Boilermakers missed 14 free throws four of them on the first shot of bonus opportunities in the final 66 seconds. Although Purdue's leading scorer. Joe Barry Carroll, made 11 of 14 free-throw attempts, he fouled out with four minutes left.

"Our inability to hit free throws at the end of the game kept it close, but we played with a lot of heart," said Rose. "Minnesota poses a problem because of its size," he said. "There are a lot of pro teams that don't have the front-line size of Minnesota. We tried to run with them in the first half. We got some good shots but we took some bad ones by bad shot selection." Purdue is now 8-3 in the conference.

Ohio State and Indiana are 7-4. Minnesota (6-5) dropped into a tie for fourth with the Iowa Hawkeyes. who spilled Michgan State 44-39 in overtime.

Four of Johnson's points came in a 10-point flurry that propelled Illinois from a 30-30 haltime tie to a 40-30 edge with 11:37 minutes left. Perry Range started the surge with a basket from 15 feet that gave Illinois its first lead. Illinois followed with four more baskets before Wisconsin forward Joe Chrnelich made a free throw. Wisconsin, which made only four field goals in the second half, got the first of them with 9:20 remaining when Claude Gregory got a slam dunk to make the score 44-33. Illinois stayed at least eight points ahead until 2:30 was left.

Then the Illini went into a stall, spreading out the Wisconsin defense and forcing fouls that enabled them to pull away on the strength of free throws. Wisconsin led early, jumping to a 5-0 lead and got eight unanswered points to boost the margin to 17-9 with 10:46 left in the first half. Six of the points came from Wes Matthews, who led all scorers with 24 points. A basket and a free throw by Derek Holcomb pulled Illinois to within six points, at 23-17. Illinois tied the game at 27-27 and it was 30-30 at the half.

Larimer made nine of 15 shots in the 1 first half, then made 13 of 21 shots in the second half.

Overall, Millikin made 41 of 86 shots. -Larimer's previous top score was 32 points against Danville last season, Crannell said. Larimer averaged 15.7 points last season.

Bodine is a veteran in the 139-pound class and has won several novice division titles in 32 bouts. Dave ill be moving up from Silver Gloves competition where he was second runnerup in the Nationals last year. The Decatur contingent is a formidable one, but the real "champ" may be Maxey, who somehow keeps the Decatur Boxing Club He ill deny such a role and is quick to credit his assistants Ralph Bleavins, Eugene Sloan, Steve Gensler, Bill Carter and George Eubanks with much of the team's success.

"They're a great bunch," said Maxey. "The help I need comes from them." Maxey also welcomes anyone interested in boxing to come watch his crew work out on any Monday, Tuesday or Thursday evening at the gymnasium in Webster-Cantrell Hall. Maxey doesn't make a big deal out of it, but donations are also gratefully accepted to help the club pay for meals and transportation. There will be 11 champions crowned at the Springfield Golden Gloves tourney. They will go on to represent Illinois in the National tournament to be held in Shreveport, the last week in March.

The boxing will begin at 7 p.m. March 1 at the Prairie Capitol Convention Center and the championship matches will start at 6 p.m., March 2. Admission is $5 at ringside and S4 for mezzanine seats. All seats will be reserved and advance tickets can be obtained by writing to Tom Margodent-Tickets, Prairie Capitol Convention Center, 7th and Adams streets, Spring It's Golden Gloves time in Illinois and that means the busy season for Terry Maxey and his stable of young Decatur boxers. Competition for Terry's crew of eight opens at the new Prairie Capitol Convention Center in Springfield March 1-2 and if past performances mean anything, the Decatur fighters are expected to do well.

"We've got a hard-working bunch of kids," said Maxey. "And that includes the people who work with me three nights a week as assistant coaches." The star of the Decatur stable is Dave Bleavins, who has moved up from the light heavyweight class to heavyweight. Bleavins is a three-year veteran of Golden Gloves competition. He won the light heavyweight title as a novice and the Open light heavyweight crown. Bleavins was a member of the Illinois Golden Gloves team that traveled to New Mexico last year.

The trip was unfortunate for Bleavins, who broke his hand after winning his semifinal bout. In three years of competition, Bleavins has lost only once. The defeat came in the Senior Olympics to Randy Smith, then ranked third in the nation. "Dave's greatest test will be in this year's Golden Gloves," said Maxey. "He will be fighting as a heavyweight and will probably run into William Hosea, the top-ranked boxer in Illinois." For Bleavins it will be just another challenge.

He has the experience to go up against anyone in the amateur ranks. He fought as a member of the United States team last year against the Russians and has been named the outstanding boxer several times on amateur cards. If there was any question about Bleavins moving into the heavyweight class, he resolved the issue Wednesday night in Chicago. Bleavins beat highly-regarded Charles Dean on a technical knockout when Dean was unable to answer the bell in the second round. Hosea remains the boxer Bleavins must whip.

If he does, look for the state's No. 2 ranked fighter to turn pro in 1981. Bleavins will be fighting in the open division of the Springfield Golden Gloves tournament and will be joined by Decatur novice boxers John Gonzales, middleweight; Les Wallace, welterweight; Marlon Thomas, light heavyweight; Eddie Freeman, light heavyweight; David Bodine, 139-pound class and Stanford Fonville, competing for the Decatur Boxing Club for the first time as a heavyweight. Chuck Kornewald Jr. also is on the Decatur squad and will be making his first boxing start.

Kornewald is a 147-pounder. Gonzales owns a 2-2 record and Maxey feels he has a good chance to in the novice title, along with Wallace, unbeaten in four matches. "Wallace is a very hard worker," said Maxey. "I feel he has an excellent chance of winning the welterweight title at Springfield." Thomas has lost only once in five bouts as a light heavyweight and Freeman owns a 2-2 record. Both boxers Monique Berlioux.

executive director of the IOC. and Petr Spurney of the LPOOC also said the decision would be appealed. The ruling followed by one day the unsuccessful attempt by Taiwan athletes to gain admittance to the Olympic Village for the Winter Olympics, which begin here next Tuesday. On Wednesday, a small group of Taiwan athletes and officials tried to enter the village as representatives of the Republic of China. They were told they could only be admitted under a code name indicating affiliation with the Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee, the name designated for Taiwan by the IOC.

Mainland Chinese athletes and team officials are already living in the Village. The IOC ruled last fall that only-mainland China could represent the Chinese people in the Olympic Games and that Taiwan would have to compete under a different name and with a new-flag and anthem. Taiwan officials challenged the policy in a court in Lausanne, Switzerland, where the IOC is headquartered, but Monday the Swiss judges upheld the IOC. Harvey ruled specifically in favor of Liang Ren-Guey. a Nordic skier on the Taiwan Olympic squad who sought to carrv the Republic of China flag in the opening ceremonies.

Liang sued the organizing committee on the allegation that state and federal governments would deny him equal protection of the law if they allowed the Games to go on under the IOC ruling. By MEL REISNER LAKE PLACID, N.Y. (AP) Taiwan's Olympic delegation was jubilant today after a judge ruled that one of the island athletes could carry the Republic of China's name and flag into the 1980 Winter Olympics. The Lake Placid Olympic Organizing Committee, however, said it was but another point scored in an extended game. "It's their ball now," said Bernard Goldstein, a New York City lawyer representing the Taiwan case against the LPOOC and the policy of the International Olympic Committee.

"I don't want a guy to have to walk onto a field and have people ask: 'Who the heck is when they see his flag." he said. State Supreme Court Judge Norman L. Harvey, who made the decision, said that usually the winning side submits an implementing order for the judge's signature. Goldstein said that would be done right away. But the organizing committee, which said it would study a joint appeal with the IOC.

could apply for an immediate appeal in a state appellate court. None of the mainland Chinese could be reached for comment. William Kissel, chief counsel for the LPOOC. said he was ready to appeal the ruling delivered in nearby Plattsburgh. The state supreme court is the lowest-level trial court in the state judicial system.

"We hope the state Court of Appeals in Albanv will accept the appeal tomorrow (Friday) or put it on the docket by Monday at the latest," he said. field, 62701. Blue faces top-rated N.

MacArthur plays host to Capitol leading Normal tonight in one a- of five games involving city teams.

The Generals take a 9-9 record into the fray. In the other 8 o'clock games tonight, Springfield Griffin is at Eisenhower, Paris at Lakeview, St. Teresa at Sulli- van and Stephen Decatur at Champaign Coghlan sees record in Wanamaker Mile North Park has already clinched a share of its third straight College Con ference of Illinois and Wisconsin basketball championship, but Millikin Coach Joe Ramsey hopes his Big Blue can make the Vikings sweat out an outright title when they visit Griswold Center Saturday night. Although North Park brings a 21-1 season record and 13-0 CCIW mark to town, Ramsey believes the Big Blue won't be intimidated by the two-time NCAA Division III national champs. 3 city mat teams go to conference meets Saturday Stephen Decatur, Eisenhower and MacArthur aren't ranked among the title favorites in the Big 12 and Capitol Conference wrestling meets Saturday, but all boast enough potential point winners to finish among the team leaders.

Both conference meets have 10 a.m. starting times. The Big 12 meet will be held at Springfield High, the Capitol meet at Normal High. Finals in the Big 12 meet, where the Reds will compete, are scheduled at 7 p.m. Finals in the Capitol meet, with Eisenhower and MacArthur in the field, are set for 4:30.

Reds' Coach Mike McLaughlin rates undefeated Lincoln as the title favorite in the Big 12 meet. "Champaign and Urbana are both real tough too. The competition among those three should be something," he said. Five of the Reds' matmen are seeded among the top four in their weight classes. They include Doug Lake, AVIN Jackson, Butch Basten, Mark Althoff and Eric Smith.

Lake is seeded second at 119 pounds, Jackson second at 126, Basten third at 138, Althoff fourth at 105 and Smith fourth at 185. Eisenhower Coach Steve Smith and MacArthur Coach Bill Moutray both regard defending champion Normal as the Capitol favorite, with Springfield Lanphier a close second. "Mark Patterson could win at heavyweight for us," said Smith. Thrasher should be in the top four at 185, but Bob Wilson won't be competing for us because of an infection. I think he could have placed high at 155." er CCIW title, but Ramsey feels it would go a long way to helping the Big Blue finish no worse than second.

That would represent a considerable achievement in light of Millikin's 1-7 start on the season. Since that time, the Big Blue has fought back to even its record at 9-9, losing only to North Park 77-66 and to Quincy 90-71 in the last 10 games. One of the best crowds of the season is expected to be on hand to see the defending national champs, ranked No. 1 in NCAA Division III every week last season and every week this season. Pro scouts have" been following North Park's high-powered senior twosome of Mike Harper and Modzel Greer, both of whom will likely be selected in the next NBA draft.

The CCIW's top five field goal shooters will be on display when the two teams collide. Going into games this week, North Prk reserve Keith French topped the CCIW on a .658 mark (50 of 76), while Harper was second with .650 (9l'of 140). Millikin's Wayne Dunning, Gary Jackson and Dave Kupish followed in that order. Dunning, a freshman out of Lakeview High who has been a major factor in the Big Blue's resurgence, had a .644 shooting mark (38 of 59), while Jackson was at .623 (43 of 69) and Kupish at .563 49 Of 87).

While the Wanamaker Mile often is the highlight of the Millrose Games, several other events will be vying for attention. Most noteworthy, perhaps, will be the 600-yard race, with 1968 400-meter champion Lee Evans.

The 32-year-old Evans, holder of the world 400-meter record and the 5oo-yard indoor mark, also still has the fastest Millrose 600 clocking 1:09.9 in 1972.

By BERT ROSENTHAL NEW YORK (AP) Eamonn Coghlan has established himself as the world's premier indoor middle distance runner.

Tonight he shoots for his 14th consecutive victory, in the famed Wanamaker Mile at the Millrose Games in Madison Square Garden. The jaunty Irishman has won his last 13 indoor races and 26 of 28 at distances of a mile or 1.500 meters, including a mile record of 3 minutes. 52.6 seconds last year at San Diego and a 3:55.0 mile at the 1979 Millrose Games. Now, Coghlan is predicting another record 3:50 or below, a time that would threaten the world outdoor mark of 3 49 0 by Sebastian Coe of England. With a swift early pace, Coghlan believes 3 -50 or faster is a distinct possibility.

A solid field is set to meet Coghlan. the fourth-place finisher in the 1976 Olympics race. It includes Villanova's Don Paige, who also is working on a long indoor winning streak. Paige, however, has put together his string of 12 at his favorite distances, the half-mile or the 1,000. Paige, last year's Millrose winner at 1 000 yards, moved up to tonight's mile when his Sydney Maree, withdrew because of injuries.

Coghlan said he considers Paige the i Central. iEight teams to run in race Saturday Eight teams have entered the 43-mile Lincoln Memorial run here Saturday.
