More guests are ar- riving by the day and it should be a bouncy affair. Louisville. Vanderbilt and Texas are among nine new faces in the NCAA playoffs. They made the prestgious guest list after clinching conference titles Saturday.

The NCAA last week in- vited nine independents to its 25-team affair. Louisville, the nation's 20th- ranked team, went down to the bitter end — and then some — for the MVC-cIincher. Ulysses Bridgeman made a three-point play in the closing seconds of overtime to win it. Dave Klobucher and Jim Caruthers made jump shots in the final 58 seconds to tie the score at 76 at the end of regu- lation. Bradley took an early- lead in overtime but the Braves buckled . under Bridgeman's shooting. After Louisville tied the game at 84. with Bridgeman contrib- uting a key field goal in the ral- ly, he scored on a layup and made a free throw for the final margin. Vanderbilt's SEC title was made possible by a com- bination of the Commodores' victory and a loss by Alabama. The Crimson Tide, the nation's No. 7 team, was upset by Flori- da 64-61. Actually, the Commodores clinched a tie for the confer- ence championship but will go to the NCAA playoffs because they've beaten Alabama tw.ce this season. Vanderbilt, No. 6 in the coun- try, had some problems before beating the underdog Wildcats. Jess Fosnes pulled it out with two free throws at the 41-sec- ond mark. Fosnes wound up with 24 points. . Dan Krueger, Larry Robinson and Harry Larrabee each scored more than 20 points to help Texas secure the South- west Conference championship. Krueger had 26 points, Lar- rabee scored 22 and Robinson, the SWC scoring leader, fired in 20. Bernard Hardin scored 15 points while Gabe Nava and Bill Hagins had 14 apiece to lead New Mexico's offense. The Lobo dressing room was happy- bedlam. Clyde Mayes and Ed Kelley combined to give Furman the title in the 'Southern Confer- ence. Mayes scored 21 points and Kelley added 14, including two free throws with 18 seconds left that provided the victory- margin. Richmond twice tied the score in the last four min- utes before falling short. Jimmy O'Brien scored 19 points while he directed the of- fense and also keyed a tough defense, leading St. Joseph's over LaSalle. Five Hawk play- ers scored in double figures. Elsewhere in college basket- ball, top-ranked North Carolina State beat Wake Forest 72-63 and became the first team in the history of the 21-year Atlan- tic Coact Conference to go un- defeated in league competition.

MARINE MIDLAND BANK Bonda Says Indians Not For Sale By HERSCHEL NISSENSON AP Sports Writer Alva T. Bonda, executive vice president of the Cleveland In- dians, says the team is "not for sale" but admits he plans to meet with a racetrack owner to discuss the possible sale of the American League baseball club. Things get a little confusing. you see, when you're a Jast- place team. However, all's well at the club's Tucson, Ariz., training camp where Manager Ken As- promonte continued to sound like a broken record Sunday. "I hate to keep telling you guys the same thing," he said, "but I'm very pleased with the way things are going." So is Bonda, to tell the truth, but he says that ownership by Edward J. Debartolo, who owns shopping centers and motels as well as the racetrack, would be advantageous to the team and the city. "If someone like DeBartolo came along and wanted to buy the team now, and since he'd also be dedicated to keeping it in Cleveland, I would recom- mend a sale like that be made," Bonda told The Cleve- land Plain Dealer. And he noted that the Indians are financially sound after re- ceiving a new bank loan. "As far as I'm concerned right now. the Indians are not for sale," he said. "I can't make it more clear than that. We have plans for this season, we have the money for the sea- son." Aspromonte also has plans ... for vacating the American League East cellar. "I'm especially happy with the pitchers." he said, "they're all well ahead of schedule. Elsewhere, Hank Aaron par- ticipated in an hour-long work- out with the Atlanta Braves but failed to hit a ball out of the park. The Braves' slugger is one shy of Babe Ruth's all-time record of 714 home runs. "The pitchers are going to be careful pitching to Henry, no doubt." said Manager Eddie Mathews. "Nobody wants to give up the home run that sets the record. But it'll come. Somebody will get a little care- less and make a pitch too good." The Los Angeles Dodgers signed their last recalcitrant, catcher Joe Ferguson. He agreed to an estimated $42,500 after hitting 25 homers and driving in 88 runs last season. Willie Crawford hit a 400-foot homer in a Dodger intrasquad game. Other intrasquad homers were hit by Pittsburgh's Richie Zisk and Dave Parker, Phila- delphia's Billy Grabarkewitz and Tommy Hutton and Billy Williams and Pete LaCock of the Chicago Cubs. On the Latin American front, the Minnesota Twins reported no developments in the absence of unsigned Tony Oliva and vet- eran shortstop Luis Aparicio But Will See DeBartolo Cornell Hockey was in uniform for the time at the Boston Red camp. first Sox' Town Playoff Game Tuesday The last of four first-round Tri- County Town Team League basketball playoffs is scheduled tomorrow night when Southern Division champion Newfield hosts the North's fourth place Union Springs.

Team Beats Out Penn For RPI By The Associated Press "We outplayed them in both games.'' Rensselaer Poly- technic Institute coach Jim Sal- fi says of his hockey team's two losses this season to New Hampshire. The Engineers get another shot at the champions of the Eastern College Athletic Con- ference Division I when they take on New Hampshire at Durham, N.H.. Tuesdav night. RPI backed into the ECAC Division I tournament, despite losing 4-2 Saturday night to Northeastern, because Cornell edged Penn 7-6 in overtime. A victory would have given Penn the eighth spot in the playoffs. "We thought we were out of it after we lost." Salfi said. Of RPI's 7-5 and 4-1 losses at the hands of New Hampshire in regular season play, he said. "We feel we can beat them. We outplayed them in both games. I don't think they will be over- confident."

    Louisville, Texas, Vanderbilt Clinch, Make NCAA Playoffs By KEN RAPPOPORT

    AP Sports Writer The NCAA's postseason bas-

    ketball party is getting crowded. More guests are ar-riving by the day and it should be a bouncy affair.

    Louisville. Vanderbilt and Texas are among nine new faces in the NCAA playoffs. They made the prestgious guest list after clinching conference titles Saturday.

    Louisville defeated Bradley 87-84 to win the Missouri Valley Conference championship; Van-derbilt clinched the South-eastern Conference title with a 71-69 victory over Kentucky and Texas was the winner in the Southwest Conference after beating Baylor 95-84.

    In addition. New Mexico won the Western Athletic Confer-ence championship by beating Texas-EI Paso 67-55; Furman won the Southern Conference by stopping Richmond 62-60: St. Joseph's.Pa.. trimmed LaSalle

    76-71 to win the Middle Atlantic Conference University Division championship; San Francisco won the West Coast Athletic Conference by beating St. Mary's 80-70 and Ohio Univer-sity took the Mid-American Conference with a 71-70 trimm-ing of Bowling Green.

    Long Beach State finished first in the Pacific Coast Athlet-ic Conference race with a 76-52 victory over the University of the Pacific, but can't play in the NCAA playoffs because of recruiting violations. Los Ange-les State, the No. 2 team in the PCAC, will be the representa-tive. The runnerups beat UC-Santa Barbara 93-87 Saturday night.

    The new additions bring the NCAA field to 19, leaving five more openings for certain other conference champions. Penn became the first major confer-ence champion in the land, win-ning the Ivy League crown for the fifth straight year Friday
