Reflectio
Gallant
by Ray Klein
The voice on the other end of
the telephone pleaded, "We need
you." I responded, "You gotta
be kidding." Not wanting to shy
away from responsibility I said,
"I need more time to think it
over." "There isn't any more
time, we need your answer." I
accepted the challenge.
Realizing that there had been
better than twenty years since I
was last on a court, I sent for
help. Jabbar, said I lost my cool.
Clyde indicated it would be
more profitable to sell cold beer.
Russell invited me to make TV
commercials. Undaunted, I
called the Hershey Medical
Center and asked them to
prepare a suite in the Intensive
Care Unit.
Time was growing short, and
essential equipment had to be
gathered; bandages, liniment,
adhesive tape, and a bible. As I
proceeded to the arena thinking
of the glory of the NCAA and
NIT, of Munich and Mexico
City, of the Forum, and the
Garden, my blood gurgled - or
was it an early warning sign.
Entering the arena, I was greeted
with a tumultous roar. I thought
they had recognized talent!
Cheers were for the team on the
floor. With reckless
abandonment, I headed right for
the locker room only to find
that I had walked into the wrong
facility. Retracing my steps and
still undaunted, I waited for the
other gladiators to arrive. We
suited up, it was obvious that
Uncle Sam didn't want us!
We were to play 8 minute
quarters. It takes four minutes
for us to walk from one end of
the court and 4 1 / 2 minutes to
return. We had to make every
play count. Telegrams began to
pour in. A typical message read -
"Do you have congressional
approval?" Attempts were made
to cancel the game. We learned
later this was because the
National Anthem was not to be
played. The time had come for
our initial strategy meeting. One
faculty member said he would
score 8 points. Another
described his desire to succeed in
the center position. Looking
over the opposition - I
announced to my colleagues that
my goal was to survive.
As the game progressed, I hit
the backboard. The referee
refused to allow one point for
this accomplishment. I hit the
rim, and again the request was
not allowed. I took up my
position in the center of the
court. It's a great place to watch
a game. Back and forth and back
and forth - blood, sweat and

prayers. A minute 35 seconds to
go. The three fans in the stands
went berserk. The scoreboard
read 34 - all. It was time for
another strategy meeting. "Let's
get the ball, foul the players -
get the ball." The opposition
came forward. I lunged, I
missed, we lost!
They gave me the game ball.
At first I thought it was for
being selected MVP. Later, I
learned it was the only source of
concentrated oxygen available.
When I arrived home, there was
a telegram from the NBA,
"Congratulations! Enclosed is a
bonus check, please maintain
your amateur standing." From
the White House - "TV black-out
ban will continue. Sincerely,"
With my amateur standing
still intact, there would be hope
for Montreal. Tomorrow is
another game. I wonder if the
scorekeeper will trade 10 points
for an A?
