The other doubles tea Jabbar sent t in six player By The Associated Press LOS ANGELES-Kareem Ab- dul-Jabbar, three times an All- American at UCLA and three times the Most Valuable Player in the National Basketball As- sociation at Milwaukee, became a Los Angeles Laker yesterday in a trade that sent four players to the Bucks. Jabbar, 28, signed a five-year, multi-million d o11 a r contract with the Lakers in the deal that sent center Elmore Smith, re- serve guard Brian Winters and two 1975 first round - draft choices, 6-foot-8 Dave Meyers and 6-5 Junior Bridgeman, to the Bucks. Besides Jabbar, Los Angeles also received his backup at cen- ter with Milwaukee, 6-1I Walt Wesley. Lakers owner Jack Kent Cooke announced the trade in a news conference on the floor of the Forum. Lights were ex- tinguished and a spotlight played ontAbdul-Jabbar as he entered the arena he now will call home. He is expected to make at least $500,000 a year with the Lakers although no one, includ- ing the 7-3 center, would divulge details of the pact except its length. "In my opinion, he is the best basketball player in the world today and as far as I know he could be the best bas- ketball player of all time," Cooke said. Jabbar said, "Everybody has patted me on the back on com- ing here, and I hope I can live up to it. I think I can." Long-rumored, the t r a d e has been in the works sev- eral weeks. A stumbling block was that Milwaukee demanded that both All-American Mey- ers of UCLA and Bridgeman of Louisville be signed to con- tracts before the exchange o LA deal could be consumated. Cooke announced that both had signed - Bridgeman only last Saturday. Again, the con- tract terms were not disclosed, but it was reliably reported that Meyers signed a five-year deal for $1.5 million. Cooke said Bridgeman also signed a multi- year contract. The 7-1 Smith became the Lakers' regular center two sea- sons ago when Wilt Chamber- lain quit to become player-coach with the San Diego Conquista- dors of the American Basket- ball Association. Smith, 26, had been acquired from Buffalo in 1973 in exchange for Jim Mc- Millian. All six of the players involved were first round draft choices by the NBA teams, with Smith Buffalo's top choice in 1971 out of Kentucky State. Jabbar, who had asked to be traded from Milwaukee, said frankly that his first preference was the New York Knicks. "I had a strong de- sire to return home," said Jabbar, who grew up as Fer- dinand Lewis Alcindor in New York City. After starring at Powell Me- morial High School, he decided on UCLA and led them to three national collegiate basketball championships. In his three var- The' Michigan Daily S ort s sity seasons, the Bruins lost only two games. Jabbar said the Lakers made a "sincere effort" to get him, which was not the case in New York, and "I don't think it is smart to go to people who don't really want you." The Bucks will build their fu- ture around the four youtng players. The veteran among them is the 26-year-old Smith, a four- year pro who starred at Ken- tucky State and who has spent two years as a starter for the Buffalo Braves and the Lakers. Winters averaged about 11.5 points per game in his 1975 rookie season with the Lakers. The 64 guard from South Caro- lina was the Lakers' first pick in the 1974 college draft. The 6-8 Meyers, a strong and aggressive p 1 a y e r, captained UCLA to the NCAA title and a 28-3 record this last season, his second as a starter. Bridgeman, a 6-5 guard with his strong suit being defense, scored enough points to be- come the fifth-highest scorer in Louisville history as he led the Cardinals into a thrilling NCAA semifinal clash against UCLA, which the Bruins won in over- time. He was twice named the Most Valuable Player in the Missouri Valley Conference. HOOP NOTE Well folks, Phil Hubbard has done it again! The high school sensation from Can- ton, Ohio listed by the Roa- noake Times' annual survey as one of the top 40 prospects in the nation has decided .. . well he hasn't. Again. But he has called a press conference for this Wednes- day to publicly announce what he said he would an- nounce a month ago, namely his school for next fall. Daily sources say that he will choose from either Michigan, Ohio State, Iowa, Louisville, and now Pitt. Who knows! But tune in Thursday for an- other episode of "recruiting madness."' -Sports Staff Jabbar Maior League Standings AMERICAN LEAGUE NATIONAL LEAGUE East East W L Pct. GB w L Pct.

Boston took a 10th inning lead on Rice's homer off Walk- er, but the Tigers postponed doom when Stanley singled, took second on a sacrifice, and scored on Tom Veryzer's sec- ond hit of the night.
