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."
