6-6 record but upped their SEC
mark to 5-1 Monday night with
a 71-67 triumph over Auburn.
The Georgia-Auburn game was
one of the few major contests
as most teams, including all in
the Top 20, are taking time out
for mid-year examinations.
Georgia’s only conference
loss was a 72-71 setback at the
hands of unbeaten and second

who still entertain some slight
hope of blocking the Wildcats’

Taylor, the long and short of

18 points and finished wih 30
while Cleamons chipped in with
24 and Sorenson added 20 as the
Buckeyes raised their record to
11-2.
Jim McDaniels, the 7-foot
center for Western Kentucky,
enjoyed a big night with 27
points and 16 rebounds in the
Hilltoppers’ 85-75 triumph over
Murray State. The victory kept
Western Kentucky atop the
Ohio Valley Conference stand
ings with a 5-0 record.
Tommy Little’s 43 points
carried Seattle past Loyola of
of Los Angeles, 87-85; Colorado
used Jim Creighton’s 24 points
to beat lowa State, 85-67;
Dayton walloped Detroit, 89-68;

The Spalding Junior High

difficulty from the free throw

two out of three games last
week.

we’ll be in good shape,” he said.

NBA Expected
To Expand
To 16 Teams
By GARY KALE
UPI Sports Writer
PHILADELPHIA(UPI)—The
National Basketball Association
was expected to expand to 16
teams today with the addition
of two new franchieses from
among five applicants.
Two applications are from
Buffalo, N.Y., which recently
was admitted into the National
Hockey League. Cleveland,
Houston and Portland, Ore., are
others bidding for NBA franchi
ses.
The NBA board of governors’
newly-elected five-man expan
sion committee worked on the
project Monday night without
filing a report of decision
making proportions.
The board was instructed to
return today and NBA Commis
sioner Walter Kennedy said he
was hopeful that a decision on
expansion would be made by
noon. There is no obligation,
however, to expand the league
at this time.
The selection of two new
cities from among the present
applicants is in line with
Kennedy’s refusal to explore
the possibility of merger with
the rival American Basketball
Association.

Scheffing Named
GM For Mets
By VITO STELLINO
UPI Sports Writer
NEW YORK (UPI)-Bob
Scheffing has been in baseball
35 years as a player, coach,
manager and scout but he
never had any ambition to
become a general manager.
He was the man, though, who
was tabbed by the world
champion New York Mets
Monday as their new vice
president and general manager,
succeeding Johnny Murphy,
who died last week.
Scheffing, who started in
baseball in Branch Rickey’s St.
Louis Cardinal minor league
chain as a $75-a-month catcher
in 1935, will take over the job
with a 75 per cent raise from
the salary he receives in his
current post as special assign
ment scout. He is expected to
earn about $50,000.
Quick Decision
M. Donald Grant, the chair
man of the board, said
Scheffing had a “change of
heart” this week and decided to
consider an offer for the GM
job. Once he showed an
interest, he was a “unanimous,
quick choice” by the board,
which met Monday morning.
When Grant first asked
Scheffing if he had any
ambition to become a general
manager last week, Scheffing
replied, “Frankly, I don’t think
so.”
But he changed his mind

Alcindor’s honor
LOS ANGELES (UPI)-Lew
Alcindor of UCLA was the first
recipient of the Naismith
Trophy, awarded to the best
college basketball player of the
year, after the 1968-69 season.
after thinking it over and
discussing it with his wife. His
major objection was moving
from his home in Scottsdale,
Ariz., to New York.
No Major Trades
As a scout, he has plenty of
free time in the winter to relax
in the sun in Arizona, where he
has business investments. But
now he must go to work
immediately and start signing
players.
“I live a pretty good life in
Arizona and it seemed an
awfully big job to make the
break,” Scheffing said. “But
after I started thinking about
the job, I wanted it.
“I don’t plan to make any
sweeping changes and I don’t
plan any immediate trades. I
think we already filled our
needs when we picked up a
pitcher (Ray Sadecki) and a
third baseman (Joe Fy).”
