OAKLAND - John Lucas, the
first player chosen in Tuesday's
National Basketball Assaciation
draft, signed a contract yester-
day to play World Team Tennis
with the Golden Caters.
The 6-foot-4 Lucas, who ap-
peared at a press conference
with team officials to announce
the pact, probably will play his
first game as a Golden Gater
Saturday night against the In-
diana Loves.
Lucas, Maryland's premier
guard, was signed to a five-
year contract by the Houston
Rockets of the NBA for a re-
ported $850,000. The 21-year-
old star said at the time that
he was negotiating with a WTT
team but did not reveal which
one.
He'll be getting quite a bit
less fro mthe Gators, but details
of the contract were not re-
vealed. "The Gators won't oe his
primary cource of income for
the next three or four years,'
said owned DaverPeterson.
Before the signing, Coach
Frew McMillen, whose team is
in second place in the WTT
western division after seven

straight victories, appeared
less than overjoyed at the idea
of breaking in a new player.
"It will be an interesting ex-
periment," McMillan said. "But
I reckon that if he's a starting
one sport, he ought to stick with
that. I mean, how many athletes
can you name who were out-
standing in two pro sports?"
"I'm keen to see him before I
take off for Wimbledon," Mc-
Millan said. "I don't Know a
thing about him. I've never seen
him play anything, tennis or
basketball."
Lucas has won two Atlantic
Coast Conference singles titles
and one doubles title and was
considered one of the country's
top collegiate tennis players.
"When told I hadk

my reaction was:
what good
is a lawyer

JOHN LUCAS, first pick in the recent NBA draft, poses with a tennis racket and a basketball
hoop to symbolize the instruments of his future occupations. The former Maryland star signed with
