Jerry Lucas Leads UPI's All America
NEW YORK—(UPI) Jerry Lucas of Ohio State, college basketball's "Mr. Wonderful," today was elected to the 1962 United Press International All America team by a unanimous vote—the first player ever so honored.
This was the third straight year that the talented 6-foot-8 Buckeye center was voted All America. Lucas thus matched the feats of LaSalle's Tom Gola (1953-54-55) and Oscar Robertson of Cincinnati (1958-59-60).
Every one of the 202 basketball writers and radio-TV broadcasters who participated in this year's nationwide UPI poll made Lucas a first team selection.
The four other players selecte were Terry Dischinger of Purdue; Billy (The Hill) McGill of Utah; Lucas' Ohio State team mate, John Havlicek, and Chet Walker of Bradley.
Dischinger and Walker, like Lucas, were repeaters from last year's UPI All America. McGill and Havlicek moved up from the 1961 second team. All five players are seniors.
This is an unusual honor squad, averaging 6-foot-7 per man and possessing a scoring average of more than 27 points per-man per-game.
McGill, Utah's 6-foot-9 beanpole, led the nation in scoring with a 38.8-point average that was the second highest ever recorded by a major college player.
The 6-foot-7 Dischinger averaged 30.2 points and led the Big Ten Conference in scoring for an unprecedented third straight season. Walker's average was 26.4, Lucas' 22.3 and Havlicek's 17.0.
Although Lucas was outscored by three members of the All America team, he was by far the most valuable player in the group. He had the best major college field goal shooting percentage (65 per cent) and ranked third nationally in rebounding by grabbing more than 21 per cent of all the shots made in the 24 games he played.
Not only that, but Lucas is a superb team player. He is a natural leader on the court, has an ideal
athletic temperament and has proved a truly unselfish star. His comparatively "low" scoring average is due largely to the number of times he preferred to pass to teammates for field goals.
The 21-year-old Lucas now can climax perhaps the greatest career in American collegiate history by leading Ohio State to the NCAA championship, a feat that eluded the Buckeyes last season. Lucas was a member of the victorious U.S. Olympic team in 1960.
All five All Americas ranked among the nation's top 20 in field goal shooting accuracy. McGill, Havlicek and Walker hit on slightly better than 55 per cent of their shots and Dischinger on 54 per cent.
Havlicek was undoubtedly the standout defensive player in the group. This "Bulldog" invariably was assigned to guard the opposing team's high scoreer. These opponents included Dischinger, who scored only 9 points against Ohio State.
This season's honor five were overwhelmingly popular choices in the nationwide voting. Dischinger was a first or second team selection of 90.9 per cent of the voters, McGill's name appeared on 82.3 per cent of the ballots, Havlicek's on 76.9 per cent and Walker's on 70.4 per cent.
Four of the five players chosen on the UPI second team were from the South. Cotton Nash of Kentucky and Rod Thorn of West Virginia were the highest vote-getters in this group. Next came Len Chappell of Wake Forest, Art Heyman of Duke and John (The Shot) Foley of Holy Cross.
A third team was comprised of: Jim Rayl of Indiana, Dave Debuschere of Detroit, Paul Hogue of Cincinnati, John Rudometkin of Southern California and Don Nelson of Iowa.
This was the first year that two players from the same school were chosen to the UPI All America first team since Dick Ricketts and Si Green of Duquesne were honored in 1955.

Young Brave Shines at Bat
BRADENTON. Fla. — (UPI) — Mack (The Knife) Jones is cutting himself in for that vacant left field spot with the Milwaukee Braves.
The 23-year-old speedster from Atlanta hit his fourth home run in three exhibition games as the Braves handed the Cincinnati Reds their third straight defeat, 5-1, here yesterday.
Jones now has collected six hits in 11 at-bats and has driven in eight runs in his bid to succeed Frank Thomas, now with the New York Mets, as the Braves' regular left fielder.
Elston Howard, who doesn't have to worry about his job with the New York Yankees, also has gotten off to a fast start in the exhibition grind. The sturdy catcher, who beat the Baltimore Orioles with a three-run homer Sunday, hit two more as the Yankees downed the Washington Senators, 7-3, at Pompano Beach, Fla.
In a brief trial with Milwaukee last season, Jones batted only .231 in 28 games but rated another look after clubbing .326 and knocking in 61 runs with Louisville of the American Association.

Buckeyes Again Reign as Kings In UPI Voting
Monday's exhibition baseball results:
NEW YORK—(UPI)Ohio State's magnificent Buckeyes, beaten only twice during the past two seasons, today were unanimously acclaimed by the United Press International board of coaches as the 1961-62 major college basketball champions.
The Buckeyes were the first team in history to receive the first-place vote of every one of the 35 coaches who make up the UPI rating board a year ago, and the same coaches accorded them the honor an unprecedented second time.
Picked to win the national championship in the pre-season balloting by the coaches-five each from the nation's seven geographical sections
—Ohio State was no. 1 every week of the 1961-62 season. In the 1960-61 season the Buckeyes also were picked no. 1 every single week, thus giving them a string of two straight seasons in which they were named tops in the land.
Following the conclusion of the regular season a year ago, the Buck-eyes were upset by Cincinnati in the NCAA championship final. That was their only loss until Wisconsin turned the trick with a surprise 86-67 decision on March 3.
Led by All America Jerry Lucas, who averaged 22.3 points per-game in addition to ranking third in the nation in rebounds, and defensive star John Havlicek, the Buckeyes were unanimous picks for the no. 1 spot in five of the 15 weeks in which ratings were released. In seven other weeks they missed gathering all 350 points by just a single point, and never drew less than 341 points in the other weeks.
Points are awarded on a basis of 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 for votes from the first to 10th.

Lakers Set Mark In Beating Knicks
By United Press International
NEW YORK—(UPI)—The Los Angeles Lakers—taking fullest advantage of the jet age—grabbed their National Basketball Association record last night, and this evening the Boston Celtics attempt to get a mark of their own.
Holding the game in Seattle, Wash.—coincidentally PFC Elgin Baylor's army station—the Lakers got a 37-point performance from Baylor and defeated New York, 119-106, to set a NBA Western Division mark of 52 wins in a season.
In the only other NBA action last night, Detroit staged a final-quarter scoring binge to rally and defeat the Chicago Packers. 121-116.
Laker coach Fred Schaus figured the speed of jet travel would make it simple to zip the entire team out to Seattle for the game and then to Los Angeles for a game tonight against Cincinnati. He was right.
Boston, which tied its own NBA victory record of 59 Sunday night against the Lakers, takes on Syracuse tonight and aims for a new standard of 60.

TAX DODGES
Unscrupulous people get all the tax breaks, says a noted economist. In this week's Post, he blasts our "unfair" tax laws. Says the low rate on capital gains is just a tax dodge. And tells why he thinks we should stop tax relief to the elderly — and even to the blind.
