"Poor" is the best word to
describe the performances of
most Big Ten teams in their
second games of the young foot-
ball season. Only three of nine
squads were victorious in Satur-
day's intersectional contests.
Michigan firmly established it-
self as the team to beat in the
conference following its 26-9
drubbing of UCLA. The only
other winners were Wisconsin
and Iowa.
For two quarters in Cham-
paign, Illinois, it looked like the
home team might upset Southern
Cal, the country's number one
squad. But USC exploded for 35
second half points to bury the
Illini, 55-20.
Illinois, playing without injured
quarterback Mike Wells, col-
lapsed under its opponent's sec-
ond half power generated by a
devastating rushing attack anda
passing combo' of Mike Rae to
John (J.D.) McKay (son of the
USC coach).
The Rae-McKay duo put South-
ern Cal ahead for the first time,
20-14, with only 21 seconds left in
the first half. From there, it was
all downhill for Illinois.
Describing USC, Illinois coach
Bob Blackman said, "It's one of
the most talented teams I've
ever seen. We never quit, but we

indeed proved to be an impolite
guest. They erased a 21-0 half-
time deficit and finished on top
of the Boilermakers, 22-21.
Seemingly unbeatable in the
opening half, the Boilermakers
put together well-engineered 86,

scores. Danielson rushed for 82
yards in the first scoring series
and 206 for the half.

NEW YORK - The Atlanta
Hawks have been fined $25,000 for
playing Julius Erving in two ex-
hibition games over the weekend.
National Basketball Association
Commissioner Walter Kennedy an-
nounced yesterday.
In imposing the fine - the larg-
est since he took office on Sept.
1, 1963 - Kennedy said the Hawks
played Erving in direct violation of
two directives he issued last week.
The directives said Erving could
not play for Atlanta in any pre-
season or regular season games.
Erving played for Atlanta Satur-
day night in a 112-109 victory over
the Kentucky Colonels of the Amer-
ican Basketball Association at
Frankfort, Ky. and led both teams
in scoring with 28 points and in re-
bounding with 18. He played 42
minutes, despite a ruling by the
NBA Board of Governors in San
Francisco last week that he should
be the, property of the Milwaukee
Bucks.
Erving also played in S u n d a y
night's 104-103 loss to Kentucky at
Atlanta.
Last season, Erving, who drop-
ped out of the University of Mass-
achusetts after his senior year,
played with the Virginia Squires of
the ABA.
Kennedy was last November giv-
en the power to issue fines up to

15,000 for conduct detrimental to
the NBA.
However, the National Basket-
ball Association club said it would
not pay the fine and revealed it
was suing the league and Kennedy
for $2 million.
Kennedy's fine and the anti-
trust suit by the Hawks and Erving
were two more in a series of
maneuvers in the Erving case that
began when he jumped from the
Squires'after last season.
Atlanta's announced refusal to
pay the fine shapes up as the first
challenge to the unprecedented
power given Kennedy by the NBA
last November.
"For playing Julius Erving in
two exhibition games over the past
weekend in violation of my direc-
tives of Sept. 21 and 22, Atlanta
is hereby fined $25,000," Kennedy
wired Hawks President William
Putnam. "Please be advised that
those directives are still in full
force and effect."
"You can believe we will refuse
to pay," said Putnam in Atlanta
when notified of the fine. "We'll
just let the courts decide the
matter. At this point we have filed
our suit and we'll do our talking in
court.
"We feel quite strongly that the
NBA action last week was illegal,
which is the reason we have gone
to court."
The Hawks filed their anti-trust
suit Sunday in advance of Ken-
nedy's announcement of the fine.
The suit, set for a hearing in fed-
eral court in Atlanta, Sept 29,
charges the NBA and Kennedy
with Sherman Antitrust Act viola-
tions in applying NBA bylaws to
the situation.

Gridd Pickings
Having a famous son can be quite a burden. One can become blind
to the truth. Sometimes you can expect too much of, him.
Consider the: case of Tom Harmon of Los Angeles California. Be-
sides being a member of the elusive media, Tom has eaten more Grape
Ntuts Flakes than ?any other human being in the Western Hemisphere.
Tom's 'sop, plays football when is isn't studying sun bathing, surfing
and volley ball at a small college in the west.
Tom, proud papa' that he is, did not hesitate when Gridde Picks
roving reporter-s "Quick Draw" Strops and Sam "Libel" Glitz corner-
ed him over the phone. Fearless Tom, who never did answer the ques-
ti n why anybody ini the world would want to eat that much cereal,
tabbed the UCLA Bruins as certain victors.
But William Chern ik didn't and raced to an easy victory in the
weekly event. Gridde Pickings afficiandos may remember Cherniak,
the resident of 3125 Bolgos Circle in Ann Arbor and curator of the
bottle cap museum in Zurich, Michigan, as the only Picker to win
in three consecutive, years as well as fashioning a replica of Bo
Schembechler in chopper liver.
