Three on One. No such disaster for Vic Bubas, the coach of Duke's No. 7-ranked Blue Devils. Bubas had scouted Alcindor all through his freshman season at U.C.L.A., and had a different plan. He also had a veteran team; All-America Guard Bob Verga and two other starters were back from last year's squad, which won 23 out of 26 games, wound up No. 3 in the nation...

...Appeal in the case of Jean Genet's Un Chant d'Amour. The French scatologist's literary fame "does not provide a carte blanche when he ventures into the fields covered by the film," which is a searing, silent 30-minute portrayal of a sadistic prison guard alternately beating and spying upon four convicts engaged in various homosexual acts. Worse, said the court, Chant itself has no redeem ing artistic merit. The film is devoid of theme, plot or character development...
