8 Wednesday, April 21. 1971 University Daily Kansan Happy Kansan Photo by FRED BERNS It was indeed a happy and satisfying moment Saturday for kL mile Doug Smith and coach Bob Timmons after the former had just checked in with the best effort of his career in the mile with a 4:02.9 clocking. The Sioux City, Iowa junior's performance was hurried in the headline's of the sub-four minute miles of Jim Ryman and Oklahoma State's Larry Rose during the eventual Kansas Relays but not because the track team it was one of the more impressive performances of all. Smith will join his teammates in Des Moines, Iowa Saturday for the 2nd annual Drake Relays, the third stop in Midwest's triple crown of track spectacles. MIL.WAUKEE (UPI)—Five men will start for both the Baltimore Bullets and the Milwaukee Bucks when the two teams square off tonight for the first game of their best-of-seven series to determine the championship of the National Basketball Association. Bucks, Bullets Begin Battle Tonight But as all good fans know there is an important aspect to any championship team that is not found among the starting five. That part of the team is called the bench. Milwaukee Bucks coach Larry Costello is very aware of this fact and he says that the key to Milwaukee's beating Baltimore four out of the seven games in the bench. "We've got to get help from our bench if we're going to make it." Castellus said. The help Milwaukee is going to have to get Cunningham and Allen have played admirably all season spelling Lew Acidor or, in Allen's case, either Oscar Robertson or Jon McGlocklin. must come from three men—Dick Cunningham, Lucia Allen and Bob Boozer. Boozer, on the other hand, has had his ups and downs. KANSAN sports But what has given Costello and all He has been good and not so good when he has filled in for the two Milwaukee forwards, Airon also has been too consistent as he once hit 45 hits and added 44 four times. Airon was one of the top players in the league. In the fourth game of the Milwaukee-Lakers series, Boozer scored 16 points on 8 baskets in 10 attempts, pulled in 7 rebounds and blocked five shots. He followed that performance with 11 points and 9 rebounds in the final game against the Lakers here. Hunter, now 12, allowed only singles to Alex Johnson and Tony Conchiore and a double to Jim Fregoel. He was bothered by the slap, which forced five and stranding eight Californian runners. The incredible thing about Aaron's career is that despite his splendid play, he has seldom captured the imagination of the fans. He doesn't have to avoid it without getting excited about it. Aaron also has had the disadvantage of not playing in a World Series since 1984 and he also spent his career in two cities—Milwaukee and New York. He has training center like New York and Los Angeles. Milwaukee fans hope has been the play of the 33-year old Booster in the playoffs. By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL Henry Aaron Looks Toward 715 The so-called 600 "barrier"—which was difficult for Mays to reach in 1969 when he hit only 13 all year—doesn't seem to bother him. But it's not a factor for number 600 adds any pressure," he said. Boozer could play a significant role in the Bucks' quest for a championship since Baltimore's front line matches up pretty well with Milwaukee's.

Sal Baiou brought his personal brand of earthquake to Southern California Tuesday. Bando, who now leads the AL in homers with four, hit his first homer in the fourth timing after Reggie Jackson doubled and then scored a three-pointer in an eight off-elf effort Eddie Eisher. He's too busy thinking about becoming the first man to hit 715. Bando smashed three hits, two of them borne runs, and drove in three runs to boost the team's top spot. California Angels, Jim "Cafifish" Hunter pitched a three-hitter for Onkland, which snapped the Angels' seven-game winning streak at first place in the American League West. "I'm a long way from it right now but I think I'm better than even money to hit 715," Aaron said Tuesday night after his sixth homer of the season—and 598th of his career—gave the Atlanta Braves a 2-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Only Babe Ruth at 714 and Willie Mays, who have five years and 633 in his career, are Pitcher Bart Johnson drove in three runs with a bays loaded double and in infield out as Chicago downed the Brewers. The White Sox led 3-2, then pulled away two by catcher Phil Roof, to beat the Brewers. In other AL action, Detroit downed Baltimore 7-6. Chicago ripped Milwaukee 7-1.

Reliever Ron Perranoski put down a Kansas City rally in the ninth inning and helped Jim Perry gain his second victory of the season. Anon, who was 37 in 1981, said he "hopes" he'll surpass last year's figure of 38. Although he said he doesn't feel old, he added, "at37. you are old."

Mum's the Word On Kansas Signings In football it is a similar situation. The only signings Don Fambrough has announced are players within the Big Eight area—to date 23 Kansas players have been signed in addition to five from Missouri and one from Nebraska. Others have been signed outside the Big Eight area there is still a game the they will never play a down of football for the Jayhawks. Like basketball, only on May 3 will these players be announced. That very thing happened this year when the un-drafted Jeb Webb of Kansas State tried out for the Bucks and made the squad, as the 13th man. Although not on the traveling team, Webb was under contract and suited up for some home games. Now one might think from this that Owens is not interested in any basketball players within the conference area. But, in fact, he is not only the coach of Hutchinson among others, this is not the By DON BAKER Kansan Snorts Editor WITH RUSSELL ITS a different situation. Drafted by the ABA's Kentucky Colonels, he was looked over in the NBA draft. But all hope of Russell playing in the NBA next year is not gone because the Milwaukee Bucks have shown an interest in the KU captain trying out for the team as a free agent. Once again it's signing time on the Kansas basketball scene as head coach Ted Owens and assistants Sam Miranda and Gale Cattel are thoroughly engaged in the recruiting warfare that will determine success of the Big Eight champion Jayhawks. SO THERE IS LITTLE reason to announce Big Eight signings when a player could turn around the next day and sign with UCLA or Louisville and end up playing his college ball there rather than at KU. Although some outstanding high school prospects have signed the dotted line that says they will accept a Big Eight Concussion, no other prospects are in Kansas, mum is the word from the basketball office as no signing announcements be made until May 3. Brown was in Dallas Tuesday talking with the ABA's TEX Chaparriers who drafted him back in January. But Brown has still to talk with the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers and he has indicated before that he prefers the established NBA to the ABA. the national letter-or-intent signifying day. Why wait? The reason is simple. The concurrence letter-of-intent, as the name imply, makes it easier to fight. It's when a prespect signs the national letter-of-intent that he is bound to one school. case. Instead Owens, like most other Big Eight coaches, has adopted a policy of simply not announcing any signings until the national letter day. ROBISCH WILL LEAVE this week for Denver where he will talk to officials of the American Basketball League's Rockets who drafted the 6-10 KU All-American. He said they had already drafted Robbish said he preferred the National Basketball Association over the ABA but that it will be a matter of finances as to which league he will play in. The NBA's Celtics, who already have former KU players, are playing for them, also drafted Robbish. “if both teams offer about the same (amount of money) I’ll go with Boston,” he said, “but if they don’t it will just be a matter of which offers more.” About the only definite thing concerning KU signings is that Dave Robisch, Roger Brown and Pierre Russell are all negotiating pro contracts. St. Louis handed Juan Marichal his first loss of the year while beating San Francisco to end the Giants' nine-game win streak. Marichal, who pitched three straight game games while winning his first three starts, was lifted in the eighth for a pinch-hitter against Tyler Anderson. Joe Torre drove in the first one with an infidel hit and scored on Ted Simmons' double. Baltimore W L Pct .

KANSAS CITY, Mo—All the strategy surrounding the sub-four minute mile run by Oklahoma State's Larry Rose, the second this year in the Big Eight Conference, might not be exactly conventional when it comes to race training, but it did help produce Rose's 3.58 mark. Rookie Roger Freed drove in the only run of "I keep telling Larry 'the finish of the race is yours, so just stay close' when he got worried about Maddafad (Rex of Eastern New Mexico and the 'name' runner in the event at last weekend's Kansas Relays)," says Oklahoma State's coach, Rahbate Ralt. "He kept fussing about Maddafat and the race, so I decided we just wouldn't bring him to the track until right before he had to start warming up. Some of the other guys kept him back at back the motel and we sent a special car back for him. As it worked on, he just didn't have time to worry about the race." "The best part of Larry's race has always been his finish, but he just keeps worrying—fretting about this and fretting about that," grinned Tate after the race, the first open mile Rose had run for Tate at Oklahoma State. Soccer Finals This Weekend Out of eight teams originally involved, only five will begin play in the University of Kansas intramural Intramural Soccer tournament this Friday, Saturday and Sunday to be played on the soccer intramural fields behind Robinson Gymnasium. The five teams remaining are, in League A, the Peruvian Nationalists and the Persian Oilers and, in League B, the World Team, the Arab Stars and the Yankee Power. And, the finish was Rose's. He tallied a final quarter of 67, which included a fantasy 27.4 furlong during which he sailed from fourth to first, making up about 20 yards on land and the loading Lee Labadie of Illinois over the last 10, winning by a good five yards. Friday's action will begin at 4:30 p.m. with the Arab Stars taking on the Yankee Power. The winner of that game will then take on the Peruvian Nationalists Saturday beginning at 1:30 p.m. At 2:30 p.m. Saturday semi-final. The winners will square off with the Persian Oilers Team will square off with the Persian Oilers the game with a sacrifice飞 in the sixth in ring and Chris Short pitched a three-hitter at Philadelphia blanked Montreal. Rookie Ernie Ellis ended his innings in his first start and suffered the loss. The winning teams of the two Saturday afternoon affairs will then battle Sunday beginning at 3:00 p.m. for the KU championship. Ferguson Jenkins pitched a six-hitter anter Roni Santo hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning as Chicago beat Houston to snap a game losing streak. Tom Griffin worked seven innings and suffered the loss as he also had the Peleton's run-scoring triple in the sixth. Richie Allen's two-run single and Bill Ritchie's two-run infield hit highlighted a six-run third inning that carried the Dodgers to victory. It went to the Padres' seventh straight loss. At center Wus Unseld has been effective in the past against Alcindor. especially in Lew's rookie year, Unseld occasionally gave him fits. This year, Unseld has been strong on the ball, pulling down an average of 19 apex in the playoffs while averaging 12.9 points. Alcindor has averaged 26.4 points during he playoffs and has pulled down 16.4 points. John Tvestran will play opposite Smith and Smith has a slight edge in scoring -12.2 points in the playoffs to 8.4 points for Trestraw. John Tvestran will play slightly edge in playoff rebounding 8.7 to 7.7. At the other forward, Baltimore's Jack Marin has the edge over Dandridge, Marin has averaged 21.2 points per game in the playoffs to Dandridge's 18.8. Dandridge has pulled down 9.5 rebounds per game to 9.9 for Marin. The backup man at forward for Baltimore is Gus Johnson, who has been bobbled by the mob. In the backcourt Earl Mormon averaged 23.7 points per game to lead the Baltimore attack and Fred Carter averaged 14.4. Kevin Smith of third Bullet guard has also averaged 14.4. MegiClockin hit at a 16.5 clip during the羽毛球scores at the tournament at a time unavailable. It averaged 7.2 per cup. Statistically both teams seem pretty even, but in championship playoffs those statistics very often don't mean a thing. It may very well come down to which man can come off the bench and win the championships and theBUcks have good men sitting on the bench, but the丹 has to go to Milwaukee. Cats, KU Go Again Today The Jayhawks now play 11 games in the next 11 days. The early beginning and closing of the spring semester have caused a tight schedule this season. The Kansas Jayhawks try as gamaa Kansas State again today at Tuesday's scheduled doubleheader was rained out. The UCLA unit's schedule even more than it was before. After the Jahwah doubleheader today they return home for a three-game weekend series with Nebraska. KU remains at home in Iowa, where they play their season, Monday and Tuesday, with Colorado. KU travels to Ames, Iowa to play Iowa State April 30 and May 1 in the Jawahiri's hard road appearance of the season for three contests before coming home to play in their season finale May 4 in a single game against K-State.
