(International) Dukes, Bama Hoop Victors By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer Kentucky and Illinois went down and Duquesne and Ala bama went up. today as college basketball see-sawed through a surprising week-end and headed into a big week that again will be climaxed by a pair of im portant tournaments. The wave of upsets that has marked early-season play reach ed a crest Saturday night when Kentucky' the nation's No. 2 team, absorbed a 73-61 drubbing from Temple and Illinois, ranked No. 7 nationally, was nipped by Missouri, 74-73. Wlm Steel Bowl By Contrast, Duquesne shot its cage stock soaring by win ning the Steel Bowl tournament at Pittsburgh and Alabama Kentucky's chief rival in - the Southeastern Conference won the Birmingham Classic tourney at Birmingham, Ala.

Snead Cops Miami Open Miami, Fla. (U.R) Sam Snead earmarked another $2,200 for his backyard lard can today as a result of his record triumph in the Miami Open golf tournament. The links veteran from White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., just seemed destined to win the Miami Open for the sixth time as he beat Tommy Bolt on the first hole of a sudden-death play off in a finish that left the gal lery gasping. Snead played the last nine holes of the final round in 29 strokes, a new record for the tricky Mami Springs course, to tie Bolt at the finish with a 201 total for 54 holes. Hit Tree On the extra hole, he pushed his drive and it hit a tree. The ball was some 200 yards from the green with trees blocking a straight shot. Snead pulled out his two-iron and intentionally sliced his shot around the trees. It stopped on the green 50 feet from the cup. The recovery shot appeared to unnerve Bolt whose drive had landed far out in the fairway. He banged his approach shot over the green and pitched back his third stroke 20 feet beyond the flag. Snead hit his long putt 18 inches past the hole and stroked it in for a par-four. Bolt's putt curled by the cup in a two-inch miss and the victory was Snead's.
