BETWEEN YOU’N’ME
Life with NBA Not
The Pearl's Oyster
By MURRAY OLDERMAN
NEA Sports Editor*
NEW YORK—(NEA)—After
only a month of professional
basketball, the luster has al
ready dimmed for Earl (The
Pearl) Monroe. He looks
drawn. Some of his eye
catching court moves seem
purely mechanical.
In the dank locker room
below the Madison Square
Garden stands, the Baltimore
Bullets’ highly publicized,
highly paid rookie slowly but
toned his bright yellow shirt.
“I wish it was March,” he
said, his big, brown eyes look
ing bloodshot “That’s when
the season’s over. I’d get out
of basketball right now if I
could make nearly as much
money doing anything else.”
Monroe had started the
game against the Knicks,
scored five points and spent
most of the second half com
fortably on the bench.
“I’m averaging a b o u t 15
K)ints a game,” said Monroe.
e smiled wanly. “But that’s
going down fast.”
Much of the sparkle and
elan that marked his play as
the highest single-season
scorer in collegiate history
(1,329 points) and for which
the Bullets are paying an esti
mated $50,000 a year has
ebbed. It seems, now, that
when he dribbles behind his
back, he feels the crowd ex
pects it not because he wants
to delights in it.
“I’m not tired in games, but
I’m tired of the rest of it,”
said the 6-3%, 190-pound
guard. “The travel, the sleep
ing odd hours, the eating in
restaurants. I get home to
Philadelphia at least once a
week to rest.”
The period of adjustment
from college to pro ball has
been particularly hard on
Monroe. He has not been hit
ting. His style of play has
to be adjusted. And the
