Page Twelve THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wednesday, May 29, 1974 EIGHTH PICK IN NBA DRAFT Russell drafted by Cleveland By MARC FELDMAN Michigan's flashy forward, Campy Russell, is no longer Michigan's flashy forward. The Cleveland Cavaliers of the Na- tional Basketbell Association tabbed the 6-7, X215 pounder in the first round of its a n n : a 1 draft in New.York City yester- day. Russell was the eighth slayer to be chosen by the NBA tao- guls and the first undercltss- man to be picked among the 13 who had been accepted by the league under the "hardship" provision of the NBA rules. Although Campy had declared his intention to be considered by the NBA for drafting over a month ago, he had until Mon- day to withdraw his name from the list and retain eligihiity for the 1974-75 Wolverine .)asketball season. "It was a tough decision for me. I'm close with all toe guys on the team especially C. J. (Kupec), Grote, and Jae (John- son) which made it hard", Cam- py said yesterday. ALTHOUGH he certainly had to be disappointed that his star had chosen to forsake spacious Crisler Arena for the drafty an- cient confines of Cleveland Arena, Michigan Coach John Orr managed to conceal his chagrin under pleasant parting words. "I wish him the best of luck in the NBA. He'll be with a very fine coach (former Minnesita coach Bill Fitch) and have an opportunity to play. Be has a great future with the Cavaliers. I hope he gets a load of mon- ey," said Orr. "He knows that we're d i s- appointed and we hate like hell to lose him because we think he's the best player in the coun- try, but anybody in t-e same position would have do.ie the same thing." Marquette Coach At \Icsuire, whose Warriors defeated ,Mich- igan in the finals of the Mid- East Regionals at Tuscaloosa last March, wished hiu star, Maurice Lucas, rnother hard- ship case taken i- thi fi r s t round, the best of ick, ,)tit had harsh words for te per etra- tors of the hardship draft, the lawyers and prlcfssr:nal re- cruiters. "EVERYBODY knocks the hooker on the core- ans ithe junkie in the hallway"' McGuire said, "but some of otir io a st reputable people wort more in the shadows than in the sun- light." Losing under-lassnen to the professionals is l.I ha' for Mc- Guire who has seen center Jim Chones and forward Larry !Ac- Neill follow the same course i0 the past two years. Preceding Russell and lucas in the first roord were 'ost of the big names of this past sea- son, with the exception of N.C. State's hDvid Thompson who will remain wi-h the defending national chamoitn Wolfpock. As previously announced. Portland gave Bill galton half the state of Oregon for h i s services, and tne shiladelphia 76ers followed by choositg Mar- vin Barnes of Providence, a rugged 6-9 rebounder. SEATTLE used the pick it had acquired from Cleveland f oir Dick Snyder to draft 7-4 Toin Burleson of N.C. Stat. itorleson showed tremend->us impro -e- ment throughout nis college ca- reer and with dill Russell pro- viding the tutelage, hss p r o- gress can only continue. Phoenix chose Notre Dame All-American John Shumate. The Houston Rockets, w h o were rumored to be seeking Russell's services at forward to team with another Viichigan All-American, tudy Toajano- vich, opted ins:ead for forward Bobby Jones of North Carolina. Kansas City-Omaha also pulled a surprise by selecting iu known Scott Wedmau, a 6-7 totrvard from Colorado. AFTER the Cavaliers took Campy, Buffaio opted for Tfrn McMillan of Maryland in spite of his intention to study at Ox- ford as a Rhodes Scholar next year. Atlanta continued t he trend toward sig ren jy draft- ing center Mike Sojourner of Utah and Golden Mtate picked Keith Wilkes of '. C L.A. The first guard chosen was Brian Winters of :outh Carolina by the Los Angeles Lakers. But the choice of Winters was mere- ly a digression as Washington (nee Capital and Baltimore) picked 6-10 Len Elmore of Mary- land, who nobody expected to last that long. The Detroit Pistons, drafting fifteenth, opted for little known Al Eberhard of Missouri, a 6-7 forward. The 'pistons picked Eric Money of Arizors (a Fred Snowdon recruit ftrom 'etroit Kettering) in the secand -otsund. ...for an First Round Portland, Bill Walton, UCLA; Philadelphia, Marvi Barnes, Pro- vidence; Seattle tenet Cleveland, Tom Burleson, North Carolina State; Phoenix, John Shumate, Notre Dame; Houston, Bobby Jones, North Carolina; Kansas City- Omaha, Scott Wedman, Colorado; k Atlanta, Tom Henderson, Hawaii; CLEVELAND FROM SEATTLE, CAMPY RUSSELL, MICHIGAN; Butfalo,, Tote McMillen, Maryland; Atlanta from New Orleans, Mike Sojourner, Utah; Golden State, Keith Wilkes, UCLA; Los Angeles, _Brian Winters, South Carolina; Washington, Len Elmore, Maryland; Chicago from New York, Maurice Lucas, Marquette; Detroit, Al Eber- hard, Missouri; Chicago, CltfPan- dexler, Long Beach State; Boston, Glen McDonald, Long Beach State; Milwaukee, Gary Brokaw, Notre Dame.

OAKLAND-Gary Sutherland slammed a pair of solo home runs to lead the Detroit Tigers to a 3-1 victory over the Oakland A's last night. Both homers came off Jim "Catfish" Hunter, 7-S. Woody Fryman, 1-3, was pitching a perfect game until Deron Johnson singled in the fifth inning. He allowed a run in the sixth on a lead- off walk to Angel Mangual, an infield out and Bill North's double before leaving for reliever John Hiller in the seventh. Sutherland, who had one homer entering the game, connected in the fourth and again in the sixth. Yanks triumph NEW YORK - Graig Nettles' run-scoring double down the right field line in the 10th inning powered the New York Yankees to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox last night. Bobby Murcer led off the rally with a single and moved to second when Horace Clarke laid down a sacrifice bunt and reached first on an error. Nettles then drove his game-winning hit off reliever Tery Forster, 2-4. The White Sox tied the game at 2-2 on Eddie Leon's one-out double in the ninth off New York reliever Sparky Lyle, 2-0. Bad Henry strikes ATLANTA - Home run king Hank Aaron blasted his ninth homer of the season and 722nd of his major league career in the 10th inning last might, powering the Atlanta Braves to a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Aaron's homer over the center field fence came off Philadelphia right-hander Jim Lon- borg, 4-5. Lonborg, the 1967 American League Cy Young award winner, gave up four hits while walking none and striking out two.
