A story about t h e Vietnam war - no, it's only the existing situation in the National Bas- ketball Association as the New York Knicks get ready to en- tertain the Seattle Supersonics in the opening game of the lea- gue's 25th season tonight. The NBA is engaged in bitter conflict with the American Bas- ketball Association on every- thing from gate proceeds to ref- erees. In addition to highjacking four of the NBA's top referees, Norm Drucker, Joe Gushue, Earl Strom, and John Vanek, t h e ABA has made successful ap- proaches to such NBA stars as the Pistons' Dave Bing, the 76ers' Billy Cunningham and Luke Jackson, temporarilly, and the Hawks' Zelmo Beatty. The jumpings have resulted in a plethora of confusing af- fairs for the NBA's teams as several of the jumping players will be playing this season, and even next season, for their old teams. Such players w ill un- doubtedly be subject to carful perusals by skeptical sports fans, who w ill be trying to decide whether the player is giving his all. Meanwhile, the NBA itself was adding to the confusion by toy- ing with ABA stars and making several coaching changes. The senior circuit signed Connie Hawkins and Rick Barry, the ABA's two superstars, to con- tracts. Barry, however, will be playing in the ABA unless the courts decide otherwise. In addition to Hawkins, sev- eral other newcomers should make impressions on the NBA. Atlanta has Butch Beard, the m - - C- U- P0N --- -- m - -------nWCOUPONal------ ; y U .TTHOMPSON S!

Only OCT. 13-16 ----------------n-n--.- Celtics Jo-Jo White, Phoenix Neal Walk, and Milwaukee has a center out of UCLA by the name of Lew Alcindor, who comes into the pros with more publicity than any other rookie in the history of the NBA. Seattle, Cincinnati, Los An- geles, Detroit, and Boston all have new coaches. Lenny Wil- kens, the star of Seattle's Sup- ersonics, has picked up the coaching duties from Al Bian- chi, who shifted to the ABA's Washington Capitols. Joe Mul- laney, former Providence men- tor, succeeds B ill van Breda Kolff, the new Piston coach, at Los Angeles. Bob Cousy h a s come out of retirement to coach Cincinnati, and his old team- mate Tommy Heinsohn succeeds Bill Russell as Celtic mentor. The latter shift marks t h e end of an era in pro basketball - since the mid-fifties the Cel- tics, led by Russell have domi- inated the NBA, but with the big center's retirement along with a similar move by S a m Jones, the World Champions do not seem like prime threats for a title, and may even have prob- lems gaining a playoff spot in the tough Eastern Division. The Celts still h a v e John Havlicek, Bailey Howell, D o n Nelson and Larry Siegfried, but Henry Finkel, the Celt center does not compare to Russell and Em Bryant is no Sam Jones. The Celts have high hopes that Kansas' Jo-Jo White, who will join the team in December, will give the team the added lift to enable the Celts to make the playoffs. The heir apparent to the Celts are the New York Knicks, who finished a close third in t h e East last season despite a dis- astrous first six weeks and in- juries to Cazzie Russell and Phil Jackson. Knick coach Red Holz- man is in the happy circum- stances of having Russell, Jack- son, Dave Stallworth, Nam Bowman, Don May, Bill Hos- ket, Mike Riordan, and John USC SQUEAKS BY THE NEW YORK KNICKS-heir apparent to the Throne? As the Celtic dynasty seems to finally ended the Knicks appear to have the best team including, from left, Cazzie Russell, Frazier, Willis Reed, Bill Bradley, and Dave DeBusschere, to capture the NBA crown. have Walt Jack Mullaney should have lit- tle trouble in guiding the team into the West's top position. The Lakers' top challenge probably would haye come from the Atlanta Hawks, but Zelmo Beatty jumped to the ABA and has said he will not play pro basketball this season. The Hawks picked up D a v e New- mark, but the Columbia gradu- ate was singularly unimpressive last season as a rookie with the Chicago Bulls. TIhe addition of Beard could s a v e the Hawks from oblivion. The surprise team in the West could be the Phoenix Suns. Phoenix will add Connie Hawk- ins, who is expected by many to achieve superstar status, Neal Walk, and Jerry Chambers, to a cast which included Gail God- drich and Dick van Arsdale. Chicago has had a fine exhi- bition season, but the additions of Chet Walker and West Wes- ley should not make the team much more of a contender than it was last season. San Francis- co should h a v e little trouble making the playoffs but any- thing beyond that is doubtful. Rudy LaRusso has retired put- ting the load on the backs of Nate Thurmond and Jeff Mul- lins. San Diego will rest its hopes on NBA scoring champion Elvin Hayes while Seattle will have to receive outstanding performan- ces from Wilkens, Bob R ule, rookie Lucius Allen, and new- comer Bob Boozer to make the playoffs. In the ABA, the Indiana Pac- ers, featuring Mel Daniels, will be the team to stop in the East while the Washington Capitols rule as the favorites in the West, if Rick Barry plays with the team. The Miami Floridians and Carolina Cougars should chal- lenge the Pacers in the East, while Washington's main oppo- sition will come from the Los Angeles Stars. Daily Classif ieds Get Results BLUES!

Many observers felt t h e Knicks could have gone all the way if they could have avoided the injuries to Russell, Jackson, Frazier (in the playoffs); how- ever, the additions of Stall- worth, back after a heart attack two. years ago, and Warren, a rookie out of St. John's n o w give the Knicks more depth than any other NBA squad. The Knicks' main obstacles in the East are the Baltimore Bul- lets and perhaps the Philadel- phia 76ers. The Bullets won the division title last y e a r before losing four straight to New York in the playoffs, and m us t be considered major threats with a nucleus of Jack Marin, Ray Scott, Earl Monroe, Gus John- son, Kevin Loughery and Wes Unseld. The 76ers would normally be considered a prime threat, but Cunningham is playing out his option, Jackson, has jumped to the ABA and back again, and Chet Walker was traded for Chi- cago's Jim Washington after threatening to retire. The Six- ers still have Hal Greer, Archie Clark, and Wally Jones, and ad- ditions, Bud Ogden and Dave Scholz could make the team a viable choice. Battling with the Celts for the fourth playoff spot in the East will be the Milwaukee Bucks, Cincinnati Royals, and Detroit Pistons. The Bucks have Lew Alcindor and there is a preva- lent belief that he may make the Bucks a contender almost singlehandedly. Any, team with Oscar Robertson and Jerry Lu- cas will h a v e to be reckoned with, but the Royals have had the duo for several years with- out notably progress. Detroit has the potential to surprise, but Bing's impending jump and a knee injury suffered in the interim by the former Syracuse All-American casts doubts about the Pistons' ability to be com- petitive. In the West the story is sim- ple, the Los Angeles Lakers. The presecne of Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, and Elgin Baylor does not make the Lakers a sup- er team, but it does make the team strong enough so that the Last minute h'roics upset 'Bama; Irish bomb Army By BETSY MAHON 14-10 to lowly Vanderbilt in what Remember when Saturday night had to be the upset of the week. was the time to watch "Shock While not playing one of their Theater"?
