PAGE TEN Grandstand Views .4• . '• The price war is an between the new American Basket ball League and the NBA The New York Knickerbockers started the battling Wed nesday by plucking St. Bonaventure's Tom Stith from Lenny Litman's Pittsburgh club. Litman, who had signed former Philadelphia coach Neil Johnston a few hours before, received the bad news in Cleveland where he was trying to wrap-up a package deal involving Stith and his brother Sam, a star for the Cleveland Pipers. "If it's money Stith wants we'll get him." Litman confidently predicted last month while watching the Penn State-Carnegie Tech game in Pittsburgh. Litman reportedly dangled $25,000 before the 6-5 All-American but apparently the Knicks are tired of losing. Even though Pittsburgh lost Stith, Johnston hopes to land his other top draft choices—Tony Jackson of St. Johns and Jack Egan of St, Josephs, A former NBA scoring champ. Johnston said he hopes to con duct a tryout camp either in late June or early July for the team's draftees and all free agents. Penn State captain Mark DuMars is one of the draftees but he expects plenty of competition from Ned Twyman of Duquesne, Lee Patrone of West Virginia and Pickles Kennedy, the former Temple Kennedy, who was involved in some real scoring battles with DuMars in past years, couldn't make it with the Warriors this year because he was too small. But he won't have to worry about size in the new league be cause of the three-point rule for baskets outside 25-feet. The three-point rule didn't go over too well in its debut last weekend. In fact: it didn't have too much effect on the outcome of three games between the Cleveland Pipers of the new league and a college all-star team. The Pipers won all three games and only 14 three-pointers were scored "I told my players to forget about it," Piper coach John McLendon said in Buffalo, N.Y., after his team posted a 126-102 victory. "If you can't get a shot a lot closer than 25-feet you're not much of a team," he told Jack Horrigan, a reporter for the Buffalo Eve- ning News. Bob MaCKinnen of Canisius, who coached the All-Stars, also told Horrigan he wasn't impressed by the new rule. "I wouldn't be in favor of the three-pointer for college," Mac- Kinnon said. "It's quite a drastic change and a team might tend to give up the ball too easily. I don't know if you could hit for a per centage from that-distance."
