The Augusta News-Review - May 3, 1973 Mk J*g S SPORT CAPSULE By Mark T. Southerland National Black News Service With blacks appearing more and more on he managerial level in sports, one major breakthrough remains -- sports admin stration. This breakthrough could occur on the commissioner level, especially in basketball, where lawyer Simon Gourdine holds a vice-presidential post under 59-year-old NBA commissioner Walter Kennedy. Kennedy is expected to decide soon as to whether he will retire when his contract expires in 1975. The principal obstacle in Gourdine’s way is his obscurity due to having never been a player. ***** If there ever was news that an incoming pro-football defensive line coach wanted to hear, the Baltimore Colts’ Dick Voris heard it recently when it was announced that All-Pro Defensive End Bubba Smith had reconsidered and would be playing for the Colts next season. Smith, who tore knee ligaments in an exhibition game last year and missed the entire season, was disgruntled over new general manager Joe Thomas’ housecleaning of seven veterans, including quarterback John Unitas. But the 6-foot-8 veteran’s rehabilitation has been excellent and in six recent meetings he has expressed a difinite desire to play for the Colts. ***** In the latest sports chapter of the rich getting richer, the NCAA basketball champion UCLA Bruins signed Portland, Oregon’s Richard Washington, at 7 feet tall considered to be the best big man in high school basketball. Washington is expected to move right in when junior center Bill Walton graduates next year and to add more national titles to the seven straight already won by the Bruins. ***** F or former Princeton basketball star Brian Taylor his first year in the pros marked the end of hardship which caused him to pass up his senior year to sign with the ABA New York Mets. Not only did the 6-foot-3 guard receive a lot of money but he was named ABA Rookie of the Year by a two vote margin over Jim Silas.
