COMING: Winetasting Party V I By ROBIN WAGNER The game is St. John's, N. Y. vs. American University. A guard for the Redman finesses the ball upcourt. In subtle si- lence, A. U.'s Kermit Washing- ton lurks beneath the backboard. A shot is taken. Spotting his cue, Washington uncoils h i s 6'8" jumping-jack-like frame, reaches for the sky and deflects the ball toward the stands. Immediately upon returning to the court, Washington lunges for the escaping sphere, desperately directs it at a teammate and falls into the seats. American U. commences a four-man fast break. The ensuing shot is miss- ed. Following the play, Wash- ington engulfs the rebound and combining dantiness with feroc- ity, drops the ball through the hoop. The list of Kermit Washing- ton's anonymous exploits is end- less. Consider, for example, the game during his sophomore sea- son when, singlehandedly, he outrebounded his opponents from Loyola of Baltimore, 30-29. Or consider the fact that in 59 of his 60 varsity contests Wash- ington has accumulated at least 10 rebounds. In the game he fail- ed to do so, he played only three minutes due to an ankle injury. During those 180 seconds how- ever, Washington gathered four rebounds and blocked three shots. The list continues. One season ago, the native of Washington, D.C. led the NCAA in rebounding with a 19.8 average. The extent of his recognition consisted of a spot on last year's collegiate All - Academic basketball squad. He also outpolled Maryland's Tom McMillan as the District of Columbia's player of the year. How does the ninth leading re- bounder in NCAA history feel about his lack of publicity? "To tell you the truth, I've become accustomed to it. I've never been given any publicity, so I'm just thankful for all that I get." As a sophomore at American U., Washington, t w o inches shorter and sixty pounds lighter than today, averaged 18.6 points and 20.5 rebounds per game. The year he paced the nation's re- bounders, his point average in- creased to 21.0. In addition, he blocked 5.4 shots every game. But only when he got bored with scoring and rebounding. In his senior year, through twelve con- tests, Washington averages 20.1 points and 20.8 rebounds a game. Only Elgin Baylor, Bill Rus- sell, Paul Silas, Walter Dukes, Artis Gilmore and Julius Erv- ing averaged 20 points and 20 re- bounds per game for a college career. The name of Kermit Washington may soon be added to that exclusive list. With half of a season remaining, Washing- ton possesses a career average of 19.8 points and 20.3 rebounds a game. Not bad for a player you have never heard of, is it? "I'd say my main strengths are rebaunding and hustling," Washington s t a t e d. "My weaknesses? I don't like to shoot a lot because I think people will call me a ball hog. The coaches always tell me to shoot more, but I just can't get myself to do it." Washington's accomplishments on the court are even more as- tounding when one realizes his first season of competitive hoops was his senior year of high school. Before his basketball de- but, Washington's time was oc- cupied by quarterbacking his school football team and play- ing on the tennis squad. The senior's biggest basketball disappointment occurred 1 a s t summer when he failed to make the Olympic team. Washington remembers, "Sure, it bothered me, but only because everyone assumed the players who made the team were better than me. The Olympic coaches were more disciplined than I was used to and I couldn't adjust in time." American U. roundball fans quickly remember Washington's outstanding games. Like the time he scored 30 points (his ca- reer high), grabbed 23 rebounds and hit on 13 of 17 shots from the floor against St. John's. Or the game he had 34 rebounds and 10 blocked shots against Georgetown. And what about that day against Duquesne when Washington collected 27 points on 13 of 19 from the field. What do the ,experts think of Washington? Bob Ferry of the Baltimore Bullets describes, "Kermit does as much for his team as anybody in the coun- try. Is he an All-American? Defi- nitely." The New York Knicks' Dick McGuire adds, "He'll be a num- ber one draft choice next year. He's extremely quick, a great leaper, he runs well and he has great timing, especially in block- ing shots." Austin Carr of the Cleveland Cavaliers said, "There's no doubt Kermit is an All-Ameri- can. He's as good as anyone I played with or against in col- lege." The contest between St. John's and American U. is over. In a losing cause, Kermit Washington has again performed brilliantly. Retiring to the locker room, Washington and his talent re- main secrets to the world. Be patient, Kermit. Soon, they will all find out about you. -A 4 p ,v~v~q~ Y. " r: ~%. .

Should Washington continue to perform in his prolific manner through the remainder of his senior year, he could join that select group of basketeers to finish college averaging both 20 points and 20 rebounds per game.
