The sharpshooting Dawson con currs with the thought that Big Ten basketball is on a par with any league in the nation...specifically the Atlantic Coast Conference. Dawson should know. For the first two years of his college career he paraded his talents at Duke Univer sity in the Atlantic Coast Confer ence. "Top to bottom, there's no league in the country that has as many good, big, physical teams as the Big Ten," winced Dawson. "The individual talent in the Big Ten equals the Atlantic Coast Confer ence. The ACC teams concentrate most of their efforts on beating each other so there is no way of knowing exactly where everyone stands, but I'll vote for the Big Ten."

His sophomore season he played in all 30 games for Duke and averaged 9.6 points per game. His big nights came against North Carolina State (28) and North Carolina (22).

After missing his junior season under Big Ten transfer rules, he has returned to help the Illini to a 7-4 start this year and a 2-1 Big Ten mark. Wearing his brother's number (24) -- he requested it -- Dawson will carry a 19.9 scoring average into Chicago Stadium appearances against Notre Dame (Jan. 25) and South Carolina (Jan. 27). His brother Jim was a three year regular for the Illini (1965-67), was captain, Most Valuable Player and all Big-Ten in 1967. Jim Dawson is the eighth leading scorer in Illinois history for a Big Ten career. "Jeff has been a big factor in our surprising start," according to Coach Harv Schmidt. "His outside shooting, ball handling and court confidence has given us a capable, if not superb, guard line when you consider the improvement of sopho more Otho Tucker." "There's really no question the Big Ten will prove me right this year," says Jeff. "'Meeting those big, bruising teams in the second half of the season is going to be a great experience."
