By The Associated Press NEW YORK - Rookie Jo Jo White and John Havlicek led the Boston Celtics to a 125-118 over- time victory over shorthanded New York despite 40 points by the Knicks' Willis Reed in a National Basketball Association g a m e last night. The loss was only the second in the last 13 games for New York, which played without injured Bill Bradley and ill Walt Frazier. Bos- ton thus became the first team to beat the Knicks three times this season. After Reed scored the last of his points, a jump shot with 10 sec- onds left in regulation time for a 111-109 New York lead, White sent the game into overtime with a driving layup three second later. Baskets by Bailey Howell and Havlicek put Boston ahead 115-111 in the extra period and White add-. 9d four more points, Howell four and Havlicek two to hold off the Knicks. Havlicek finished with 30 points and White 26. Cazzie Russell, who missed a last-second jump shot in regulation time, added 24 for New York. * * * MONTREAL - Mike Walton's second goal of the game with 43 seconds left to play gave the Tor- onto Maple Leafs a 3-3 tie with the Montreal Canadiens in a Na- tional Hockey League game last night. Walton slipped the tying goal - his 17th of the season - past Montreal's Rogatien Vachon at 19:17 of the final period with Jim Harrison and Jim McKenny as- sisting. Serge Savard had given the Canadiens the lead 7:40 into the final period on a feed from Jac- ques Laperrier. The teams hadswapped single goals in each of the first two per- iods. Ralph Backstrom got the Cana- diens off in front with his 15th goal of the year at 2:06 of the opening period. Then Walton's power play goal 11/2 minutes later tied it for the Leafs. In the second period, goalie 11 Bruce Gamble assisted on R o n Ellis' 24th goal of the year at 2:08 and the edge stood up until 16:221 of the period when Mickey Red-j mond's 19th of the season tied1 it again. Pistons p ummeled OMAHA, Neb. - Connie Dierk-1 ing and Tom Van Arsdale led a rally by the Cincinnati Royals in the last 9-l/% minutes of National] Basketball Association action lastt night in a 124-113 victory over thea Detroit Pistons.1 Hazvks holler CHICAGO - Stan Mikita scor- ed three goals and had four as- U sists to pace the Chicago Black Hawks to a 7-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins in a fight- filled national Hockey League game last night. The victory, Chicago's fifth in a row over the Penguins, moved the Black Hawks to within a point of the idle Detroit Red Wings in the race for fourth place in the Eastern Division. Mikita, who now has 13 NHL hat tricks picked up his first goal of the night midway in the second period to break a 1-1 tie that had been gained on first period goals by Dean Prentice and Chicago's Bobby Hull. Mikita concluded his performance with his 30th and 31st goals of the year in the last period. The agony of Evansville By ERIC SIEGEL MICHIGAN COACH Johnny- Orr is usually not prone to criticize the efforts of his Wolverine cagers. In fact, Orr usually manages to find quite a bit to praise his boys about, even when they lose. Well, all that was changed after Tuesday night's debacle at Evansville, where the Wolverines turned the game over to the Purple Aces by a score of 78-73. Orr was succinct, and highly critical, in- his appraisal of Michigan's performance during the game. "It was the worst game we've played all year," Orr com- mented. "We weren't alert. We had a distinct lack of deter- mination. We showed no fire. Nothing." Orr's comments went right to the heart of the matter, but the Michigan cage mentor could have said even more. He could have said that the Wolverine's play was generally lackadaisical and quite often disgraceful. He could have said that a team that displayed the lack of alertness, and lack of determination that was so apparent in the Wolverines' performance shouldn't have even bothered showing up on the court. Forget that the Wolverines hit less than 37 percent of their field goal attempts. Any team can have an off night. Event forget that the Wolverine managed to hit only 50 per- cent of their free throws. Some nights the ball just won't go in the basket no matter where you are when you shoot it. BUT THAT STILL doesn't explain the fact that Michigan committed more turnovers in each half against the Purple Aces than they did during the entire game against Northwestern Saturday. Nor does it explain the fact that almost every ball that went out of bounds went to Evansville, or that the Wol- verines failed to put their fast break in gear and didn't get back on defense. True, the Wolverines were without the services of Rodney Ford, who twisted his knee in a practice session Monday after- noon, and Rick Bloodworth was suffering from a toe injury. Ford's injury especially hurt the Maize and Blue on their fast . break, as the 6-4 center is usually one of the first men down the court, despite the factthat he spends a lot of time under the basket. But the effects of these injuries should not be dwelled upon, as Bill Fraumann, subbing for Ford, turned in a fine perform- ance, scoring 12 points and compiling 16 rebounds, and Blood- worth hasn't been starting lately, anyway. Besides, whatever effects the injuries had should have been 1 offset by the absence of Layne Holmes, the Purple Aces' second-leading scorer and one of their top rebounders, who was suspended the morning of the game. EVEN WITH Holmes, however, Evansville would hardly have been a super team. The Purple Aces simple don't have that much talent. Going into the game, the Aces sported a meager 9-10 record against a schedule composed largely, of so- so teams. Don Buse is a case in point. Buse, a 6-3 sophomore, is a decent player - he might even be considered a good player - but he is not good enough to steal the ball eight times in a game without a lot of help from the players he's stealing from. Steve "The Whale" Welmer is another example of the Aces' mediocre talent. Welmer, a 245 pound giant, used his size to good advantage under the boards. But he should not ' have been allowed to maneuver around enough to grab the ball after it bounced off the, backboard and outside the foul lanes. The difference was that Buse and Welmer wanted the ball, and the Wolverines didn't. Michigan has stayed with, and beaten, teams that are ten times better than Evansville. They should have trumped the Purple Aces Tuesday night and run them. clear off the court. They certainly had the talent to do it. That they didn't is one of the sad things about the trip to Evansville. THE OTHER is that the Wolverines, in losing to the Purple Aces, muffed a chance to gather up some momentum for the last month of the season. After thumping Northwestern Saturday, a strong performance .two nights ago would have giv- en them a head of steam to carry them into the remaining seven games on their schedule. As it is, the loss left the Wolverines with a 7-10 mark. In concrete terms, this means they've got to win six of those seven to match last year's 13-11 record, and go 5-2 to finish at the break even point for the season. With home-and-home games scheduled against Wisconsin, Minnesota and Indiana, plus an away game against Toledo, it looks like the Wolverine cagers have a long road to hoe. -Associated Press GAMECOCK TOM OWENS (24) can't seem to find the handle as Wildcat Bryan Adrian (14) attempts to grab the object of at- tention.

I F PILOTS STAY: Seattle franchise intact CHICAGO (Ao) - The American League reaffirmed last night that the Seattle Pilots baseball fran- chise will remain there for at least 1970 but turned down an appli- cation for its operation by a civic group headed by hotel executive Edward Carlson. While American League owners continued in session in their wrestle for financing the Pilots, Carlson said, "We have obtained our objective which was to keep the franchise in Seattle no matter what." "Although we have met the com- mitments that the league wanted, they now have not been found to be satisfactory and our formal ap- plication was turned down," Carl- son said. During the apparently stormy afternoon discussions, the current Seattle general manager, Marvin Milkes, stormed out of the session. It was reported he was miffed when talk of a possible American League trusteeship to run the Seattle club would oust him in favor of a man designated by the AL.
