It also marked the first time the Colonels have signed a No. 1 draft choice-Issel. Claude Vir- dent of Murray State, Kentucky's second-round pick, also has sign- ed with the Colonels. Pratt was their third pick. Issel was asked why he didn't wait until the NBA holds its draft Monday, as he earlier said he would do. "I'm happy with my contract," Issel replied, "and I feel the ABA is here to stay." The 6-foot-8 center, most pro- lific scorer in Kentucky history, also said he wanted to remain in the state and the Colonels offered him the financial security he wanted. Issel scored 2,138 points in his three years of collegiate competi- tion and averaged 33.9 points and 13 rebounds a game this season in leading top-ranked Kentucky to a 26-2 record and into the quar- terfinals of the NCAA Tourna- ment.'

Special To The Daily TUCSON - Sloppy fielding in the first game and erratic pitching in the second marred an otherwise strong performance by Michigan's baseball team yesterday and led to a double defeat at the hands of Arizona's Wildcats. The Wol- verines dropped the first game 5-1 and were edged 8-7 in the night- cap. Highlighting Michigan's play was the continued solid hitting of Tom Kettinger and a strong pitch- ing performance by freshman Pete Helt. Helt, a freshman southpaw started the first game and de- served a better fate than to leave the game trailing 3-1. Helt was touched for six hits, only three of them of a solid variety, in his six innings work but was plagued by poor fielding behind him. All but one of the runs scored against Helt and his successor Tom Fleszar were unearned as the Wolverines were guilty of six er- rors. The only Michigan tally came in the sixth inning when catcher Dan Muvihill doubled following walks to Kettinger and Leon Roberts. The second game was more of an offensive battle and the Wol- verines were in contention down' to the final out. Although the game ran only seven innings the two teams banged out a total of 25 hits. Kettinger smashed three hits for the Wolverines as did catcher Tom Lundstedt. The Wolverines got on the score- board first with three runs in the top half of the first. Jim Koco- loski singled to center to start the rally and was moved around to third on a double by Dan Fife. Lundstedt brought in Kocoloski with a single to center and Ket- tinger brought in Fife with an- other single. An error provided Michigan with its third tally. However, the lead didn't last for long. The Wildcats tied the score in the bottom of the first with three runs off freshman Mickey Ellwood. Michigan took the lead back in the fifth with two runs on singles by Lundstedt, Kettinger, and John Hornyak, and another timely Ari- zona error. The Wildcats regained the lead for good in the bottom of the fifth as they scored four runs on seven hits and knocked Ellwood out of the box. Down by three 8-5 the Wolver- ines fought back in their last at bat. Fife started this rally with a single to right and was brought home on Lundstedt's triple to deep center field. Kettinger followed with another run producing hit, this time a line shot to left to bring in Lundstedt, and narrow the gap to one run. _ STATE FINALS: Pershing takes 'A' 41 Michigan stickmen's opener ruined by rugged Oberlin EAST LANSING (M) - The amazing but unranked Doughboys from Pershing stunned Pontiac Central last night with a 86-81 victory to win the class A State' High School Basketball Cham- pionship.

Pontiac Central got as close as four points with two minutes left but couldn't get closer. Five-foot guard Phil Paige had a tremendous game for Pershing, setting up plays, ball handling, and scoring. He pumped in thir- teen of his nineteen points in the second quarter. Campy Russell, the Chiefs 6-7 superstar was tremendous under the boards and also scored 33 points in a losing cause. Still a junior, he has another year of eligibility for Pontiac Central. A. Pershing fans, part of the 12,527 fans who jammed into the MSU's Jennison Fieldhouse, surged onto the court after the game in wild enthusiasm. Several players were kocked down, but it was all part of the joy that overwhelmed the Doughboy fans. The loss was ithe first of the year for the Pontiac Central squad, which finished the year with a 22-1 record. Pershing, never ranked all year, finished at 16-4. Pontiac Central had a 55-35 edge in rebounds but only con- nected on 32-75 field goal at- tempts. Russell pulled down 25 re- bounds to top both teams. In class B action, River Rouge picked up its tenth title with an easy 7666 win over Saginaw Car- rollton. Muskegon Christian edged St. 1 Ignace by a single point, 52-51 in the class C encounter.
