Towers Tops Eagles;
Girls Win, 44-36
Griffin High won two of three
games last night at Towers. The
loss was a big one.
Towers beat the Eagles, 58-54.
In earlier games, the “B”
boys won their seventh straight,
49-33 and the girls topped
Towers, 44-36.
The Eagles fell behind 6-0 in
the first quarter but managed to
pass Towers (11-10) with a
minute 20 second left in the
period.
That was the only time Griffin
had the lead.
The Eagles hung up on 11
points and didn’t make another
basket until nearly three
minutes were gone in the second
period. By that time Towers
was ahead, 18-11.

NEW YORK (UPI)-It took
an office secretary a matter of
seconds to accomplish a feat 13
men couldn’t achieve in eight
months but it remains to be
seen how well members of the
pro football family accept their
new luck-of-the-draw marriage.
Thelma Elkjer, a secretary
for pro Football Commissioner
Pete Rozelle, drew a number
from a fish bowl Friday in a
lottery devised by Rozelle to
break the National Football
League’s realignment dilemma.
Rozelle came up with the
idea for the lottery after the
owners were unable to agree on
a system of reshaping the 13-
member National Conference of
the 26-team National Football
League—the existing name for
the newly merged American
and National Football leagues.

Falcons Crush

The Milner Falcons con

practice sessions . Last night
they reaped the fruit of their
labor.
They smacked Mary Persons
High of Forsyth, 72-37.
“We have lost seven games,”
Coach Chuck Miller said. “We
feel that five of those losses
were due to poor defense.
“We concentrated on defense
in recent practice sessions and
it paid off. You could see a big
difference last night. Mary Per
sons was never in the game.”
Kenny Roberts popped in 21
points for the Falcons. Sidney

ahead.

fish bowl and Miss Elkjer

Central Division and New York,

Division.
The drawing ended realign

months ago when three mem
bers of the NFL agreed to shift
to the American Conference of
the newly merged leagues.
During the 36-hour marathon
talks of last May, Cleveland,
Pittsburgh and Baltimore

didn’t score.
“Our forwards played their

“We made 25 field goals and
just two free throws.”

Mount Gets Some 'Coaching'
From The Home Front Now

NEW YORK - (NEA) —
Unlike Adolph Rupp, who
frowns on subordinates mar
rying anything other than
basketball, Purdue coach
George King says he has no
objections to players with
wives.
So, with the coach’s bless
ings, Donna Cadger became
Mrs. Rick Mount in a little
church in Lebanon, Ind., last
summer. The newlyweds set
tled in an apartment on the
Purdue campus in Lafayette
and Rick spent his days at
tending summer classes. But
it wasn’t until evening, when
it came time for Rick Mount
to practice his jump shoot
ing, that he fully appreciated
the advantages of having his
own helpmate.
“Ever since I was a little
kid,” says Mount, “I always
made it a point to spend at
least five hours practicing on
summer nights. Usually, I’d
go alone to the neighborhood
court and shoot until it got
dark. When we were first
married, I asked Donna if
she’d like to come along and
keep me company. She said,
‘Sure, I’d love to.’
“At first, she just stood
around and watched. Then
she started retrieving the
ball for me. One night, she
asked if she could throw me
some lead passes. Sure
enough, she was putting the
ball right where I wanted it.
I couldn’t believe it. I not
only got a wife, but I got a
practice partner, too.”
As a family man, there
have been some noticeable
changes in Rick Mount. One
of the Purdue assistant
coaches says Rick seems
Jacksonville Bombs
Virgin Islands, 114-66
By GREG GALLO
UPI Sports Writer
There’s no place like home—
especially when you’re from the
Virgin Islands and have just
played a basketball game
against Jacksonville University.
Seventh-ranked Jacksonville
ran the College of the Virgin
Islands off the court Friday
night, 114-66, in an awesome
display of shooting and re
bounding that prompted losing
Coach Gene Werts to comment
after the game, “I don’t think
there is any doubt that this
team will be in the NCAA finals
against UCLA.”
Jacksonville left the visitors
wishing they had remained
home in the sun and surf as
they surpassed the 100 point
mark for the 10th time this
season. Jacksonville is leading
the nation in scoring with a
better than 104-point game
average.
Rex Morgan topped the
Dolphins in scoring with 32
points while 7-2 center Artis
Gilmore added 18 points and 26
rebounds. Coach Joe Williams
pulled his two stars at the
midway mark of the second

Pike Pirates Play
Jackson Tonight
The Pike County Pirates will
play Jackson tonight in
Zebulon. The game was origi
nally scheduled for Jan. 23.
It will be a battle between
highly rated teams.
Pike is ranked seventh in
Class C and Jackson in ranked
sixth in Class B.
Pike has three players in
double figures.
Randy Carter? whom Coach
Walker Cook rates with the
finest shooters in the state,
leads the Pirates with a 28
average.

more relaxed than ever be
fore. No longer does a spit
curl dangle upon his fore
head because—at Donna’s
suggestion, perhaps?—he is
combing his hair in a more
conventional style. And,
more than ever before. Rick
Mount is looking forward to
the summer months, not be
cause he can shoot jump
shots with his wife again, but
because he can start prepar
ing, finally, for the pro ca
reer he has always wanted.
One of the reasons, of
course, is money. Everybody
in Lafayette, and even in
Lebanon, knows Rick Mount
is on the verge of becoming
half but the damage had
already been done.
“We’ve beaten everything in
the Caribbean, including the top
teams in Puerto Rico,” said
Werts, a former collegiate
great at Tennessee State.
“They just kill you inside with
their height and they have
great players inside and
outside.”
Pressure shooting by Steve
Patterson brought top-ranked
UCLA from behind in the
second half and the Bruins
went on to defeat Bradley, 61-
56. UCLA trailed at the half, 30-
26, but Patterson, who scored
17 points, hit several key
baskets in closing minutes to
provide the victory.
Fred Boyd, a sophomore
guard, scored 20 points to lead
Oregon State to a 6047 victory
over 13th-ranked Washington.
The Huskies, held to 19 points
in the first half, were paced by
George Irvine with 18.
Loyola of Chicago downed
Detroit 85-80 as Walter Robin
son scored 27 points while
Weber State, after building a 20
point lead in the second half,
held on to defeat Montana
state’s top 25 players. Coach
Cook feels this is an oversight.
“Randy is one of the finest
basketball players in Georgia,”
Coach Cook said.
Walter Logan is averaging 17
points and Floyd Mack has a 14
average.
The Pirates are 12-3 for the
season. The losses were to
Triple-A and double-A. R. E.
Lee beat them twice and
Newton once.
’ The Pike girls go into the
Jackson game with a 12-1
record.
a rich young man, courtesy

“To be perfectly honest, I
can’t say that I’m not happy
in the position I’m in right
now,” he says. “As long as
the two pro leagues are com
peting for players, I think
I’ll get more money for sign
ing than I normally would
have. I think Pete Maravich
and Calvin Murphy and Bob
Lanier and Mike Maloy and
myself are pretty much in
the same boat. None of us
are complaining about it.

I’ll sign with the team that
makes the best offer. It all
boils down to money and I
think Maravich and Lanier
and the others feel the same
way. I’m sure I can shoot
with the pros, but some peo
ple have told me that I’m too
skinny and I don’t have the
stamina to make it. They
said the same things about
Rick Barry, didn’t they?”
There is one aspect of Rick
Mount that has not changed
—his intensity on the court.
“I may not look it during a
game, but I’m all wound up
inside. Before I got married,
I used to go back to the dorm
after a bad game and lock
the door and replay it in my
mind over and over again
half the night. Now I come
home after a bad game and
I still feel the same way. I
just don’t feel like talking
and my wife understands.
She doesn’t try to draw me
into a conversation. She just
leaves me alone.
“Before any girl marries a
basketball player, it’s best
she know something about
the game and what makes a
player tick. My wife and I
first met in high school back
in Lebanon. She was a year
behind me. After watching
me play all those years, she
knows exactly how I feel
after a game.
“She’s looking forward to
the pro draft as much as I
am. She’s not concerned
about the money so much,
just the city we’ll be moving
to. We’re both hoping I get
Eicked in the first round in
oth the ABA and NBA
drafts and, to be truthful,
I’ll be disappointed if I’m
not. I think I’m good enough
to be a first-round pick.”
So, in effect, does George
King. “When I signed to play
with the old Syracuse Na
tionals in the NBA,” he said,
“I got $6,500. Last year, I
had a player (Herm Gilliam)
who signed with the NBA for
$65,000. Rick will do better
than both of us.”

Bobby Richardson
Joins S. C. Staff
COLUMBIA, S.C. (UPI)-
Former New York Yankee
Bobby Richardson, who was all
set to coach a little League
team this spring, instead will
be coaching baseball at the
University of South Carolina.
Richardson, a second base
man who set two World Series
batting records with the
Yankees, signed a two-year
contract to head up South
baseball program
and aid in recruiting.
He said that a Little League
team in his hometown of
Sumter will have to get itself a
new coach, “but I haven’t had
a chance to tell them yet.”
The 34-year-old Richardson
was introduced by Athletic
Director Paul Dietzel, who said
he had been after the former
Yankee star for two years, and
was willing to wait because “I
.wasn’t interested in anybody
else.”
Dietzel said Richardson had
