may retire
LOS ANGELES (UPI) -
Fresh from his greatest
achievement in pro basketball,
Rick Barry says he wants to
retire to go into television on a
full-time basis.
“I mean right away,” the
Golden State Warriors’ 6-7
superstar said Tuesday night.
“Os course, it would have to be
the right opportunity.”
Barry averaged 29.5 points
last month to lead the underdog
Warriors to a four-game sweep
of the Washington Bullets in the
finals of the NBA playoffs and
was voted the MVP of the
championship series.
“I’m not in the financial
position to leave basketball
unless I can make the same
kind of money in broadcasting
and TV than I am now,” he
continued. “So I’m not going to
retire for less money. But I’m

deadly serious. This isn’t a ploy
to renegotiate my contract with
the Warriors. What more is
there left for me to do after
this year? There are no other
worlds left to conquer.”
If Barry, 31, leaves, it will be
his second shocking departure
from Warriors’ owner Franklin
Mieuli, the man who drafted
him first out of the University
of Miami in 1965.
After a five-year hiatus, he
returned to the Bay Area club
from the ABA two seasons ago.
He said he was playing under a
long-term contract with Golden
State but would not disclose its
length or its terms.
Barry arrived here to appear
on several television talk shows
Tuesday and today. He said he
felt he “accomplished the
ultimate” during this past
season.

Seattle names
SEATTLE (UPI) - Seattle
Tuesday chose the name
“Seahawks” for its 1976 entry
in the National Football Lea
gue.
General Manager John
Thompson of Seattle Profession
al Football, owner of the
expansion club, told a news
conference that the nickname
was selected from among
thousands of entries by fans in
a name-the-team contest.
Pro football hasn’t used the
name Seahawks since the early
1950 -
Rains stalling Open practice
MEDIN AH, 111. (UPI) -
There’ll be a “cram course” on
Medinah’s No. 3 golf course
today for the 150 contestants
who’ll begin the diamond
anniversary U.S. Open Thurs
day.
Repeated rains since last
Friday have soaked the 7,032-
yard par 71 golf course, forcing
officials to close it Sunday and
Tuesday and depriving the
players of a chance to
Page 11
familiarize themselves with the
layout.
Tuesday, with 142 of the 150
eligible players on hand, the
course was open for barely an
hour before drenching rains,
plus tornado warnings, sent
them running for cover.
“Every green I saw was
under water,” Gary Player
said. He had to walk into the
clubhouse before he reached
the first green due to the rain.
— Griffin Daily News Wednesday, June 18,1975
Nobody played more than six
holes and some didn’t get on
the course at all.
Thus today will be crucial for
everybody for strategic plan
ning and particularly how to
attack a waterlogged layout.
Rain was forecast to continue
at least part of today and
possibly in the morning Thurs
day.
Clearing skies and a mild
heat wave were anticipated
Friday, possibly drying out the
course quickly and forcing the
contestants to change their
style of play in the second
round to try to stay even with
par or better it.
Johnny Miller, a one-time
Open winner and one of the
favorites, was one of the few
who were carefree about the
enforced idleness.
