first two players selected in yesterday's NBA college draft.
Aguirre, the 6-5, two-time All-American forward from
DePaul, was picked No.l by the Dallas Mavericks and pre
sented with the white-and-blue uniform with the N 0.24 he'll be
wearing.
"Even the .colors are great," said Aguirre, who found out
Sunday he'd be the No.l pick but still said it was "the greatest
feeling in the world to hear my name announced. I just wish I
could go out, shoot some jumpers and relax."
Moments later, the Detroit Pistons made Thomas, the point
guard who directed Indiana to the National Collegiate Athletic
Association title, the N 0.2 choice in the draft. As Thomas
entered the interview room, Aguirre spotted him and yelled:
"Zeke! Zeke! We're in the NBA!"
The Mavericks and Pistons are counting on the two prize
rookies to help turn around teams that compiled records of 15-
67 and 21-61, respectively, last season. Both players come from
winning college teams and don't like the idea of joining losers.
"I know there's going to be bumpy hills in Dallas," Aguirre
said. "That's an adjustment I'm going to have to make. But I
think between Coach (Dick) Motta and all the draft choices we
have, we should make some progress."
Thomas was the third point guard to be picked in the first
round by the Pistons in the last three years (Ray Hamilton and
Larry Drew were the others). When told of this, Thomas said:
"I just hope. this bne sticks. To be a winner, a team needs
cohesiveness, and that's what the point guard is supposed to
do."
The most active team in the past 48 hours was the New
Jersey Nets.
On Monday the Nets obtained three-time all-star guard Otis
Birdsong, the NBA's sixth-leading scorer , with a 24.6 average
last season, from Kansas City for 21-year-old forward Cliff
Robinson: Just before yesterday's draft, the Nets dealt 32-year
old guard Mike Newlin to New York for second-year swingman
Mike Woodson.
And finally, the Nets used their three first-round choices to
select 6-8 Buck Williams of Maryland N 0.3, 6-6 Al King of
Maryland No.lo and 6-9 Ray Tolbert of Indiana No.lB.
Williams is considered a 10-10-10 man by the scouts he'll
average at least 10 points arid 10 rebounds per game for 10
years. He is the obvious candidate to step into the Nets' power
forward spot vacated by Robinson
King, a 66 teammate of Williams, grew up in Brooklyn,
N.Y., and is the brother of NBA star Bernard King. His
selection drew the loudest cheer of the day from the gallery of
nearly 1,000 spectators who attended the draft.
King is expected to give Mike O'Koren a run for the starting
small forward position.
There was considerable intrigue involving the N 0.4 pick.
Seattle had hoped to get 6-6 Al Wood of North Carolina with the
fifth choice, but Atlanta also wanted Wood. So the Hawks swung
a complicated deal with Chicago that included a swap of first
round choices, giving Atlanta the N 0.4 choice on the first round
and dropping Chicago down to N 0.6.
That enabled the Hawks to take Wood, a forward in college
who is likely to be shifted to the backcourt and fill Atlanta's
need for a big guard.
Seattle, its hopes of getting Wood dashed, took the player

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Mike Schmidt's two-run
triple highlighted a five-run third inning and Pete Rose
singled twice to move within two hits of breaking Stan
Musial's National League career hit record of 3,630 as the
Philadelphia Phillies pounded the Houston Astros 10-3 last
night.
Rose started the third-inning burst with a single to
center and singled again in the eighth w give him 3,629 hits
in 18 1/3 seasons.
After Rose singled in the third to extend his hitting
streak to 13 games, Gary Matthews walked. Schmidt then
hit his triple off loser Joe Niekro, 6-5. And Dick Davis,
hitting in his eighth straight game, singled to score
Schmidt.
The Phillies took a 1-0 lead in the first on a singles by
Luis Aguayo and Matthews and a wild pitch by Niekro.

An intangible that's hard to measure is
the caliber of player it takes , to• have a
national championship team or build a
nationally competitive program. One
possible answer to that question now
comes from the 1980 national champion
field hockey team.
Two members of that Lady Lion team
Jeannie Fissinger
• Ksnsas City, looking for a successor to 33-year-old center
Sam Lacey, used the seventh pick in the draft to take 6-10%
Steve Johnson of Oregon State, considered the best of a
relatively weak crop of centers. Johnson is effective around the
basket, but his defense, outside shooting and rebounding
toughness is suspect.
Three other players who are projected as pro centers also
went in the first round: Dan Schayes of Syracuse to Utah at
N 0.13, Herb Williams of Ohio State to Indiana at N 0.14 and
Alton Lister of Arizona State to Milwaukee at N 0.21.
With another pick, Dallas took the man considered to be the
best big guard in the draft, Rolando Blackman of Kansas State,
N 0.9. Detroit, after taking Thomas, selected small forward
Kelly Tripucka of Notre Dame N 0.12.
Kansas City, which got a center in Johnson, took high
scoring forward Kevin Loder of Alabama State N 0.17. And
Portland, the other team with two first-round picks, chose 6.6
swingman Jeff Lamp of Virginia N 0.15 and 6-2 guard Darnell
Valentine of Kansas N 0.16.
Other players chosen in the first round were 6-9 Tom
Chambers of Utah to San Diego N 0.9; 6-2 Frank Johnson of
Wake Forest to Washington No.ll ; 6-5 Mike McGee of Michigan
to Los Angeles N 0.19; 6-10 Larry Nance of Clemson to Phoenix
N 0.20; 6-1 Frank Edwards of Cleveland State to Philadelphia
N 0.22; and 6-5 Charles Bradley of Wyoming to Boston N 0.23.
The Celtics used a second-round pick to take Danny Ainge,
the All-American guard from Brigham Young who now plays
baseball for the Toronto Blue Jays. His baseball contract
prohibits him from playing pro basketball, but the Celtics are
gambling that within the next year if unsigned by the next
draft Boston loses his rights Ainge may decide to switch
sports.
Six teams were without first-round picks
- San Antonio picked forward Gene Banks of Duke, the 28th
choice overall; Golden State took power forward Sam Williams
of Arizona • State N 0.33; Denver chose forward-center Kenny
Green of Pan American N 0.34; New York picked forward Greg
Cook of Louisiana State N 0.40; Houston took forward Ed
Turner of Texas A&M N 0.45; and Cleveland tabbed guard
Mickey Dillard of Florida State N 0.55.
The 76ers, who hinted they were looking for rebounding help,
got a high-scoring guard in the 6-1 Edwards.
Edwards ranked seventh among major college players last
year with a 24.6 average. He averaged 25.5 his junior year and
led Cleveland State in assists for the last three years.
"His outstanding skill is that he can drill it," said Sixers
general manager Pat Williams, who pointed out Edwards shot
50.1 percent from the field during his college career.
The Sixers other choices in the draft were' : 6-8 Vernon Smith
of Texas A&M, who averaged 14.8 points and grabbed about
nine rebounds a game last season; Smith's teammate and
fellow forward, Rynn Wright; and third-round selection 6-7
Earnest Graham of. Maryland; Steve Craig, a guard from
Brigham Young, in the fifth round; guard Mike Thomas of,
North Park in the sixth round; John Crawford, a forward from
Kansas, in the seventh round; Frank Gilroy, a forward, from St.
John's (N.Y.) in the eighth round; Ron Wister, a 6-11 center
from Temple, in the ninth round; and Delaware forward Pete
Mullenberg as the final player taken in this year's draft.
Astros, 10-3
RBI single by Garry Maddox in the fifth.
Padres 7, Pirates
Steve Mura scattered nine hits in seven innings and hit
a two-run double to lead San Diego past the Pirates 7-4 last
night in Pittsburgh.
It was scheduled as the first half of a twinight double
header, but the second game was rained out after 2 1 k
scoreless innings and a 91-minute delay.
Mura, 4-7, needed help from Gary. Lucas, who got his
ninth save. Rick Rhoden, 6-1, took the loss, his first of the
year.
The Padres got four runs in the third inning. Terry
Kennedy and Ruppert Jones singled and Joe Lefebvre
walked to load the bases. Luis Salazar singled home

One of the minor surprises of yesterday's National Basketball Association draft came in the third
round when •the New York Knicks selected Penn State 6-10 center Frank Brickowski (right).
Brickowski, a native of Bayville, N.Y. on Long Island, was never considered as one of the more
outstanding collegiate prospects, but near the middle of last season he was one of the preliminary
nominees selected by a panel of college coaches to play for the East team in the annual Pizza Hut
Classic. But soon after that nomination, Brickowski lapsed into a stretch of lackluster play and
eventually wound up spending four games on the bench.
Brickowski had been considered as an outside prospect for the draft at the start of the
season, but many thought that benching hurt his chances.
Brickowski had improved greatly from his freshman year to his senior year and at
various times led the team in rebouding and was always among the top five in scoring. And when
he was at the top of his game, he was one of the most afftective big men Penn State has had.
He was the team's most valuable player in his junior year and is the first Penn Stater to be
drafted since the mid-60s.
Tim Raines drove in three runs, two with a triple in a
seven-run second inning, and Scott Sanderson scattered
five hits as Montral snapped a five-game losing streak by
trouncing Atlanta last night in Montreal.
The Expos, who had a team batting average of .186 over
the past, seven games, got a first-inning run on Andre
Dawson's sacrifice fly, then sent 11 men to the plate in the
second inning and chased Phil Niekro, 4-4.
Jim Palmer walked Keith Drumright in the seventh
inning with the bases loaded to break a 2-2 tie and Oakland
beat Baltimore in the first game of a doubleheader last
night in Oakland.
Oakland's Steve McCatty, 7-4, pitched a six-hitter for
the victory. The A's totaled only four hits and two of their
runs were unearned including one in the seventh.
Catcher John Stearns threw away Dave Concepcion's
ninth-inning bunt, allowing Cincinnati to break a tie, and
nowhere near the hockey hotbed of Phila
delphia, will be the youngest member of
the team. She will be a junior in the fall.
Both Stauffer and Fissinger have been
progressing steadily to the Olympic team
for the past few years through the devel
opmental camps and with their perfor
mances for the Lady Lions. They gained
exposure and their biggest step toward
the U.S. team last year ivhen they made
the national under-21 team and played in
an exhibition series against the Canadian
national team.
The pair reinforced their credentials
with their play for Penn State last year
as the Lady Lions won their first national
title after finishing second the year be
fore. Stauffer had nine goals and eight
assists last year, which, after two sea
sons, left her sharing the school record
for assists (16) with former Lady Lion_
Mary Sue Patterson.
Fissinger is the best goalie in Penn
State history. The All-American holds
every school record for goalkeeping,
including shutouts (36 in three years)
and allowed only seven goals in 24 games
(.29 goals-per-game average) last year
as the Lady Lions also went undefeated
(22-0-2).
Pissinger, a walk-on in her freshman
year, won collegiate field hockey's
Broderick Award for her performance
last year.

Olympic team is present or former Penn

Dan Driessen added a two-run single to help the Reds the
Mets in New York last night.
Ken Griffey, who scored three of Cincinnti's runs,
walked to open the ninth off loser Pete Falcone, 1-3. George
Foster singled for his fourth hit of the game, and Neil Allen
replaced Falcone. Concepcion then bunted, and Stearns
threw the ball into left trying for the force at third. Griffey
scored on the play and, after Ray Knight walked to load the
bases, Dan Driessen singled Foster and Concepcion home.

. Dave - Winfield and Graig Nettles slammed home runs
and Dave Laßoche, Mike Griffin and Goose Gossage

The left-handed Laßoche, 3-0, hurled 3 2/3 innings in

the sixth. Gossage came on in the eighth after a one-out
double by Jamie Quirk to register his major league-lead

Baseball talks
stalled, want
NLRB ruling
By FRED ROTHENBERG
AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK (AP) Baseball
negotiators, still looking over their
shoulders for a federal judge's rul
ing on an injunction, spent another
fruitless 30 minutes yesterday at the
bargaining table. ,
After the session, garvin Miller,
executive director of the Major
League Baseball Players Associa-,
tion, said in the event of a strike, he
would let the players themselves
handle the negotiating sessions with
management to show the other side
"how strongly the players feel on the
issue" of compensation for the sign
ing of free agents.
"It's getting very .terse, very
tense," said federal mediator Ken
neth Moffett after another meeting
yielded no movement progress.
"Until the judge rules, it's going to
continue this way."
Moffett called a tentative meeting
for this afternoon, which could be
canceled if judge Henry Werker
rules beforehand on a National La
bor Relations Board injunction that
asks that the implementation of the
owners' free-agent compensation
propcsal be postponed one year.
Werker's office said Monday a
decision would come "later this
week."
If the judge denies the NLRB
request, the players have said they
would strike within 48 hours of that
decision.
Miller said if they strike, he would
let players negotiate with the owners
because the owners have an "under
lying assumption that they can sell
the players the Brooklyn Bridge and
I'm the only one that stands in the
way."
He said Ruly Carpenter, owner of
the Philadelphia Phillies, was the
latest management official to make
that contention in an inforthal con
versation with some of his players
Monday. Ray Grebey, the owners'
chief bargainer, told Miller at the
negotiating table yesterday that that
wasn't his belief.
Miller said, however: "Mr. Gre
bey has told me directly that he
thinks I can take the owners' propo
sal and sell it to the players. That's a
grave underestimation of- the play
ers."
If a strike is called, the nucleus of
the players' bargaining unit would
include: the four players on the
union's executive board.
They are Bob Boone of Philadel
phia, the National League represen
tative; Doug DeCinces of Baltimore,
the American League representa
tive; and the two pension committee
representatiyes, Steve Rogers of
Montreal and Mark Belanger of Bal
timore.
Miller said Don Fehr, the union's
general counsel, would `.`attend the
sessions to provide continuity."
"While there's a change in format,
there's no , change in terms of me- .
chanics," Miller said. "(The union
negotiating panel) will still have full
authority to negotiate a settlement
subject to the approval by the
union's executive board and ratifica
tion by the players."
Although both sides agreed they
were waiting for judge Werker's
decision, they disagreed on what
action could be taken in the interim.
"Neither side had anything new to
offer," Grebey said. "The Players
Association asked if we were waiting
for the judge's decision, and we said
it was a factor. This thing will have
to be settled at the bargaining table,
and having the judge's ruling will
assist that."

Most everyone around State. College
and the University has heard the saga of
the 'Penn State Ice Hockey Club how
it's been trying to get varsity status
and/or NCAA competitive status from
the University for the respectable team it
fields.
Now it's trying to get something else,
too, but not particularly from the Univer
sity and not because the club particularly
wants to. •

DETROIT (AP) Larry Holmes is feeling good
about his mental and physical condition for his WBC
heavyweight title defense against Leon Spinks, and
he thinks a change of scenery has helped.

season in October.
Becauses the hockey team is not offi
cially affiliated with the University, it
has to go out on its own to find a new
coach. And that's what club president
and team member Joe Battista is doing
being a one-man search committee.
Battista has certain qualifications in
mind for the new coach.
"We need somebody who is involved
with the University in some way a
teacher, a grad student," Battista 'said.
"He doesn't necessarily have to be, but it
would be a help in a transfer to varsity or
NCAA status. That way, we'd have some

"I love it here. The weather is real good in the

This fight will be Holmes' 10th title defense. But
it will be only his third outside Las Vegas since he
won the championship with a split decision over Ken
Norton on June 9, 1979.

John, who's not employed by Penn
State, said a University employee won't
help the club as much as it thinks one
would.
"(A University employee) won't mean
a hill of beans," he said. "And I don't
know of anyone capable in the University
who would be good for the job. But then I
don't know everybody."
The usual coaching intangibles are
also in the minds of both Battista and
John. John said the new coach should be
relatively young who has innovative
ideas and is firm but able to commu
nicate with the players. Battista would
like to get someone like John.

People around the champion are pleased with his
attitude and condition and feel his 15-round victory
over awkward Trevor Berbick helped him a lot.
`That helped me for this fight," Holmes said. "It
helped me mentally and physically. It got the rust
off me."
The caliber of opposition offered by former
heavyweight champion Spinks also has helped
Holmes get ready.

lington agreed to do that.
"All I have to do is change the request
from assistant coach to head coach,"
John said. "He's probably the best qual
ified person around."
Battista. agreed with John's choice,
saying Shillington is definitely the team's
first choice. But Battista has reserva
tions.
"He lives in Stormstown, which is like
a half-hour away," Battista said. "And
he'd have to be around a lot. For him to
stay in with us, he'd miss his dinner hour.
But Battista said if Shillington ac
cepted, the job, the ideal situation would
be to get one or two assistant coaches
who are University employees.
"I've had no trouble getting up for this one," he
said. "Leon is a lot better opponent that a lot of my
other opponents."
Spinks has not been consistent in his brief pro
career in which he has posted a 10-2-2 record and
won and lost in title bouts with Ali.
But, said Eddie Futch, who became Holmes'
trainer after the unhappy departure of manager
Richie Giachetti: "Leon has a habit of ever so often
turning in a good performance."
