the fifth straight season, the NBA an-
nounced yesterday.

NBA's 23 head coaches who voted at the

second-place vote one. Coaches were
not allowed to vote for their own
players.

earned the other forward spot with 24
points.
Guard Dennis Johnson of Phoenix
topped all vote-getters for the third
straight season, and was the only
player named on every ballot. He
received 20 first-place votes and two for
second.
Joining him in the backcourt was
New York's Michael Ray Richardson
while center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar of
Los Angeles (31 points) was named for
the third straight season.
THE SECOND team included for-
wards Dan Roundfleld (10 points) of
Atlanta and Portland's Kermit
Washington (15. points) with San An-
tonio's George Johnson (8 points) at
center.
Milwaukee's Quinn Buckner (20 poin-
ts) gained one guard spot.
There was a tie for the other back-
court position between Dudley Bradley
of Indiana and Michael Cooper of Los
Angeles, with nine votes each.
Knicks, Cavs trade
NEW YORK (AP)-The New York
Knicks have traded their first-round
1981 draft choice-the 17th overall pick
in the draft-to the Cleveland Cavaliers
for veteran guard Randy Smith, the
National Basketball Association club
announced yesterday.
Smith, 32, has appeared in 758 con-
secutive NBA games, including all 82
Cleveland contests last season. He last
missed an NBA game on Feb. 15, 1972,
when he played for the Buffalo Braves.
LAST SEASON, Smith averaged 14.6
points, 4.4 assists and 113 steals. In his
10-year career, Smith has 14,778 poin-
ts-an average of 18.2 per game-and
1,256 steals.
Smith, 6-foot-3, played college ball at
Buffalo State and joined the Braves in
1971-72. He was with the club when it
moved to San Diego for the 1978-79
season, and was traded to Cleveland on
Set. 21, 1979.
Smith has appeared in two NBA All-
Star games, and was named the Most
Valuable player of the 1978 game in
Atlanta, when he scored 27 points and
collected six assists.
Yankees, A's trade
NEW YORK (AP)-The New York
Yankees traded veteran first baseman
Jim Spencer and left-handed pitcher
DISTINCTIVE
HAIRSTYLING FOR
Tom Underwood to the ,Oakland A's
yesterday for first baseman Dave
Revering, rookie outfielder Mike Pat-
terson and a minor league pitcher.
The Yankees had tried to trade the 33-
year-old Spencer and two minor
leaguers to Pittsburgh during spring
training for first baseman Jason
Thompson, but Commissioner Bowie
Kuhn overruled the deal because New
York also agreed to give the Pirates
$850,000 of which $450000 would have
gone to pay Spencer's salary.
THE COMMISSIONER had put a
limit of $400,000 several years ago on
deals involving cash.
Spencer, who came to New York from
the Chicago White Sox on Dec. 12, 1977,
had been mired in a slump this season
until Tuesday night, when he collected
a single and a game-winning, two-run
homer aganst Kansas City. He was
batting .143 with two homers and four
RBI's.
Underwood, 27, was acquired from
Toronto on Nov. 1, 1979. He compiled a
13-9 record with a 3.66 earned run
average last year and was 1-4, 4.41 this
season in six starts and three relief ap-
pearances.
THE 28-YEAR-OLD Revering, a
three-year major league veteran, bat-
ted .290 last year with 15 homers and 62
RBIs. He is hitting .230 this season with
two homers and 10 RBI. Patterson, 23,
hit .348 in 23 at-bats for the A's and will
be assigned to the Yankees' Class AAA
Columbus farm team in the Inter-
national League.
The Yankees' other acquisition, left-
hander Chuck Dougherty, 21, was 3-3
with a 3.80 ERA for Oakland's San Jose
farm club in the Class A California
League. He will be sent to Fort Lauder-
dale in the Class A Florida State
League.
Spencer and Underwood left the
Yankees yesterday. Underwood repor-
tedly was headed to join the A's in
Boston, while Spencer planned to
return to his Maryland home, where
one of his children was ill. Revering
was expected to join the Yankees
tomorrow night. There was no im-
mediate word on who would fill the open
spot on the Yankees' roster.
Cage coach announced
PHILADELPHIA (AP)-St. Joseph's
University announced yesterday the
appointment of Jim Boyle, assistant
coach the past eight years, as head
basketball coach.
Boyle succeeds Jimmy Lynam, who
resigned Monday to become an
assistant coach with the Portland Trail
Blazers of the National Basketball
Association. Boyle, 40, reportedly will
be given a three- or four-year contract.
He said the length and terms of the con-
tract still were to be decided.
AT A NEWS conference yesterday,
Boyle said he intends to continue the
same type of program that enabled
Lynam to lead St. Joseph's to the quar-
terfinals of last season's NCAA tour-
nament.
SCORES
Boyle is the sixth graduate of the
university to coach the basketball team
since John McMenamin.
Since graduating from St. Joseph's in
1964, Boyle has been a teacher in the
Philadelphia parochial school system,
assistant coach at Widener University
for two seasons and then an aide at St.
Joseph's.
Davis versus NFL
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A National
Football League attorney praised Al
Davis as a "remarkable man" who in-
spires great loyalty, but said yesterday
the Oakland Raiders' managing par-
tner has a flaw - he believes rules are
made to be broken.
Attorney Patrick Lynch, one of three
lawyers who spoke in defense of the
NFL and its joint defendants during the
second and final day of opening
arguments of the antitrust trial, in-
sisted that the bitter court dispute bet-
ween the NFL and the Raiders is not a
matter of antitrust. It is, he said, a mat-
ter of broken contracts and betrayal of
Oakland football fans.
"MR. DAVIS is a remarkable man,"
Lynch told the jury. "He has inspired
loyalty in the people around him. But he
has left injury in his way. Part of that is
the belief that rules are to be broken -
even the Golden Rule."
Davis and NFL Commissioner Pete
Rozelle sat separated only by an aisle in
a front row but did not look at each
other.
Lynch, using visual aids including
cartoons projected on a movie screen,
told the seven-woman, three-man jury
that Davis agreed to abide by the NFL
rules when he joined the league.
Of Davis' claim that the NFL is
restraining trade by barring him from
moving the Raiders to Los Angeles,
Lynch said: "Nobody held a gun to Mr.
Davis' head and said, 'You must join
this league.' Mr., Davis made the
choice."
Lynch said that the NFL, if it allowed
the Raiders to leave Oakland,. would be
joining in the betrayal of the fans.
"You can disregard the fans, or
disregard the public that supports
you," he said. "You have to look at the
fact that people don't forgive and do
remember. It just isn't right for the
Oakland Raiders to leave Oakland
where they've been making plenty to
just to line their pockets in Los
Angeles."
Attorney Joseph Cotchett, represen-
ting the Los Angeles Rams, also
praised Davis' abilities as a leader, but
he said he believed Davis' only interest
in moving was "power and money."
