But Driesell isn't scared of Dantley or any combination of Dantley and four others. 'We're going into this tournament with a positive attitude," Driesell said. "We realize that all it takes is four (more) games to win the national championship, and we think we can do it. "AT THIS POINT, a lot of people would have had reason to be skeptical of us," he said.

"But they'd better look out for us now. "We're not afraid of Notre Dame, UCLA, North Carolina or anybody that's in this tournament." UCLA, the giant of college basketball over the past 12 years with 10 NCAA titles, has an awesome reputation. Only Montana isn't shaking with fright. "Our kids are excited and practice has reflected that attitude," said Jud Heathcote, coach of unranked Montana. "The boys recognize we're definitely out-talented and we're playing what is a living legend.

"We're going in a little apprehensive but not scared, if there is a difference." SECOND-RANKED UCLA advanced to Portland with a 103-91 overtime struggle with Michigan, while Montana scored a 69-63 victory over Utah State. Indiana's ranked Hoosiers raced into their second-round game with a 78-53 victory over Texas-El Paso, and although no team scares Bobby Knight's boys, the Indiana coach is apprehensive about 13th-rated Oregon State. "Oregon State is capable of beating any team in the country," Knight said. "They beat UCLA this year and they beat 'em last year, too. That shows you what kind of team they are." North Carolina, ranked sixth, has been proving itself all season, but it's griping now because no one seems to have noticed.

"We are ACC champions," said 6-f oot-9 Mitch Kupchak. "We beat North Carolina State. We proved that already. The only thing I sense now on this team is that we want to keep proving to ourselves we're a great basketball team." By The Associated Press Most of the horn tooting in the NCAA college basketball tournament seems to be happening before the games. The coaches of the 16 teams remaining in the tourney spent part of Tuesday beating their own chests, then doing a paraphrase on the old "the only thing to fear is fear itself" number.

ITS PART OF the psychological buildup, and hardly anyone does it better than Maryland's Lefty Driesell. "We're not scared of anybody," Driesell said. "And if we put it all together, people had better be scared of us." The fourth-ranked Terps, 23-4, overcame pesky Creighton 83-79 last Saturday to earn a date with No. 9 Notre Dame, 19-8, -for a second-round Midwest Regional game Thursday night at Las Cruces, N.M. The other Midwest Regional game pits No.

12 Cincinnati, 22-5, against No. 3 Louisville, 25-2. "This is a challenge to our ball club and they've fooled a lot of people all year long," Driesell "People counted us out all year and then again after we lost two straight games to Clemson and North Carolina. "Now they're counting us out again. They'd better not do that if they're smart.

We're one of the best teams in the country and our record proves it." BESIDES THE Midwest battles Thursday night, there will be the East Regional at Providence, R.I., which has Syracuse, 21-7 against North Carolina, 22-7, and Boston College, 21-7, against Kansas State, 19-8. Then, there's the Mideast Regional, matching Kentucky, 234, against Central Michigan, 215, and Indiana, 30-0, against Oregon State, 19-10. And in the West Regional at Portland, Arizona State, 24-3, plays Nevada-Las Vegas, 234, and Montana, 21-6, meets UCLA, 24-3. Maryland beat Notre Dame 90-82 in an earlier meeting this season and the Terps again will have to contend with All-Amer-ican Adrian Dantley, who scored 29 points in that game. "Dantley is a great offensive player," Driesell said.

"In the last game, just about everybody guarded him. We'll stick a lot 1 1 DEBBIE JOYNER Trezevant CINDY HUGHES Madison DOROTHY MILTON Trezevant X. MARY BOATWRIGHT M.

"But that," he noted, "is a big difference." He's been sixth or better in his last four starts. Palmer, trying to make a comeback after the poorest season of his legendary career, has had two opportunities to win this year. He was leading with two holes to play in the Hawaiian Open and was in position to challenge for JACKSONVILLE, Fla.

Irwin has played some of the strongest golf on the tour this season, and the improved performances of the 45-year-old Palmer make him much more than a sentimental favorite in the 72-hole test that begins Thursday on the water-dotted, par-72 Deerwood Country Clear Or Amber So Super Bowl XI will visit the big bowl on Jan.

The NFL gets the ticket, televsion and program HONOLULU (AP) Pasadena's whirlwind courtship with the National Football League brought a surprising acceptance for the Super Bowl of 1977. Never before had a city without a pro football team of its own been voted the championship game, but the Southern California city had 104,701 seats in a world-renown stadium working for it. In accepting Pasadena's Rose Bowl bid, the NFL turned down Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, New Orleans and Montreal.
