qBA, ABA
NEW YORK P)- - Rumors
a merger between the Na-
onal and American Basketball
s oiation were rampant Mon-
at the opening of the NBA's
tek-long meetings, but Com-
issioner Walter Kennedy tried
saquelch them.
The commissioner pointed out
a. "ome kind ofraccommoda-
>n always is possible, but it
not possible without Congres-
anl legislation, because it
>uld be violation of anti-trust
as, or the approval of a
deral judge."
Under the reported merger
greement, the ABA would buy
ur of its 10 clubs, leaving six
ams to be amalgamated into
e NBA. These teams would
y an indemnity to become a
irt of the NBA.
The ABA teams that likely
uld be taken in by the NBA
such a consolidation occurred
>uld be the New York Nets,
enteky Colonels, Indiana Pac-
s, San Antonio Spurs, Denver
ockets and the Carolina fran-
ise, which would be moved to
neinati. Dropped would be
e financially-plagued Virginia
ures, who already have been
ken over by the ABA; Mem-
is Tams; San Diego Conquis-
dors and Utah Stars.
The tentative plan called for
e six remaining ABA teams to
ay as a separate division un-
r the NBA flag for the 1974-75

season and conduct its own play-
offs, although there was a pos-
sibility they would be incorpor-
ated into the playoffs with the
NBA clubs. There was, how-
ever, no possibility they would
meet NBA teams during the re-
gular season because the NBA
schedule already has been
drawn up.
The NBA is not expected to
formally discuss the merger sit-
uation until Wednesday or
Thursday. The ABA also is
meeting this week, Thursday
and Friday, in Louisville.
If there is no merger, the
ABA is expected to operate next
season with eight clubs - New
York, Kentucky, Indiana, San
Antonio, Denver, Cincinnati,
Utah and either San Diego or
Los Angeles.

Playerc
By The Associated Press
Ohio State football coach
Woody Hayes may speak harsh-
ly to rain clouds, game officials
and others, but he really
doesn't torture the troops, two
of his players said Monday.
"A lot of people see him as a
very mean, harsh coach,
swearing, kicking, beating his
players and everything," ad-
mitted All - America linebacker
Randy Gradishar.
"But I think if people got to
know him as the players do,
they would understand that a
coach has to holler every once
in a while, and maybe swear,
in order'to get somebody moti-
vated ... and motivating is one
thing he does very well., He
may go to different extremes to
get it done, but the players
know his style and under-
stand."
ASKED HOW he felt about
playing for the colorful, con-
troversial Hayes, offensive end
Morris Bradshaw just smiled

praise
and said, "I guess I can answer
that in three words: 'it's an ex-
perience; that's the best way I
can decide it."
Gradishar and Bradshaw
chatted with writers Monday as
they prepared to join the East
equad practicing for the nation-
illy televised Coaches AllAme-
rica football game in Lubbock,
Texas, Saturday.
"HE IS colorful and exciting
and seldom dull," said Brad-
shaw, who believes also that
Hayes is somewhat unreason-
able at times.
"I would tend to argue with
him sometimes. But if you
want to be logical about it you
can't argue with his philoso-
phy because he wins.
"I tend to disagree with the
way he handles things, but then
when you sit back and look at
his record, it speaks for itself.
You can't argue with his re-
cord."
N O T U N L I K E Ala-
bama's Paul "Bear" Bryant,

Hayes
who his players contend can
walk on water, Hayes has his
own mythology.
"Be has the power to make it
stop raining," G r a d i s h a r
smiled. "When we got out to
practice he will stand out there
and talk to the sky and it will
staop raining."
Bradshaw also is a believer,
explaining; "When I was a
freshman, at our very first
practice, we had to go off by
ourselves . . . while the varsity
worked out at the north facil-
ity. It got real cloudy and
started raining so hard we had
to leave the field.
"We climbed back on the bus
and went over to the north fa-
cility no more than a mile away,
and it was sunny. Not even a
drop of rain. I couldn't believe
it."
"And I will never forget it. I
don't know what Woody said
that day, but the result sure
left an impression on me."
