Dow Finsterwald, Don Whitr Knot In Tucson Open Tucson, Ariz. U.R) Unspec tacular, but oh, so steady, Dow Finsterwald, Tequesta, Fla., and Don Whitt. Alameda, Calif., an "old pro" at 26, battled it out today in an 18-hole playoff for the Tucson Open golf title and S2.000. These youngsters fought a bril liant battle to tie for the lead after four rounds Sunday when spectacular Bill Casper Jr., Bo nita, Calif., went ordinary and blew a four-stroke lead in the payoff round. But for the miss of a four-foot putt on the 18th hole, Finster wald would have been S2.000 richer, and he and Whitt would have been headed for San An tonio today and the Texas Open with the rest of ' the tournament players. Finsterwald and Whitt posted 72-hole totals of 269, 11 under par. Casper shot a five-over-par 75, following three great rounds earlier, to tie for fourth with Johnny Cleary.

Lakeview 52 Tar Heels Edge Duke Quint 75-73 By JOHN GRIFFIN . United Frets Sports Writer How long can North Carolina get away with these hair-rais ing escapes? For the second straight game, the nation's No. 1 team barely avoided disaster Saturday when it defeated Duke, 75-73, on Tom my Kearns' two free throws with 16 seconds left and tonight the Tar Heels will be trying to make their perfect record 19-0 when they visit Virginia. North Carolina will be only one of six major conference lead ers who will see court action to night as the cage season goes into the "showdown" stage with the big post-season tournaments less than a month away. Risk Records . Indiana of the Big Ten, Ken tucky of the Southeastern Con ference, Bradley of the Missouri Valley, Western Kentucky of the Ohio Valley, and Hardin-Sinv mons of the Border Conference all will be risking their records. But two straight squeakers put the spotlight for the moment on North Carolina, with experts wondering whether recent eligi bility losses have seriously un dermined the Tarheels. The upset lightning that grazed North Carolina struck down four of the nation's highest ranking teams Saturday. Southern Methodist (No; 4) was upset by Texas Tech, 6&67, when it was outscored 12-0 over the last five minutes; UCLA (No. 5) had its string of 23 straight Pa cific Coast Conference victories snapped by Washington, 90-74; Ohio State (No. 9) surrendered the Big Ten lead to Indiana, 69 59; and Illinois (No. 12), now playing without ineligible star George Bon Salle, bowed to Michigan State, 75-64.
