Newspaper Page TextPage 6 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Wednesday, May 11, 1966 A HAPPY CRAIN Billy Crain, who stopped a Texas rally in the ninth inning Tuesday, discusses the Aggies’ 8-6, win over the Longhorns which gave A&M at least a share of the Southwest Con ference baseball title. Russell Top Draft Prospect In NBA NEW YORK 6S 5 ) — Cazzie Rus sell, Michigan’s 6-foot-5, 218- pound All-America, is expected to be the No. 1 pick by the New York Knickerbockers Wednesday in the annual player draft of the National Basketball Associa tion. New York won the coin flip with the Detroit Pistons for the right to make the first selection after the two teams finished last in the two divisions. Detroit will get second pick and probably will take Dave Bing, the 6-3, All- America from Syracuse, a fine all-around performer who scored 794 points. Dave Schellhase, another All- America star from Purdue who led the nation’s major colleges in scoring with a 32.5-point aver age, also is due to be taken high in the first round. The new Chicago Bulls, who will operate as the 10th team in the league in the 1966-67 season, will have to wait until 10th and last in the first round. However, the new entry, coached by John Kerr, will get the third and fourth picks in the second round. The order of selection in the draft scheduled for 12 noon EDT will be New York, Detroit, San Francisco, St. Louis, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago. In the second round Detroit moves up to No. 1. After two rounds, president Walter Kennedy will call a short recess. Then they will continue as long as the supply lasts. Bill Bradley of Princeton was the first pick last year. He went to the Knicks but passed up pro ball to continue his studies. Brad ley, Bill Buntin of Michigan De troit and Gail Goodrich of UCLA Los Angeles were the first men taken last year as territorial se lections, a category that has been eliminated. One potential draftee, Henry Finkel, 6-11, 240-pounder from Dayton, already has been selected twice—by Los Angeles and Cin cinnati. Because he went back to school, he is in the hopper again. Clyde Lee of Vanderbilt, a 6-9, 220-pound giant, has said he plans to play in Italy but he probably will be picked by some club. The Knicks refuse to admit that they will take Rusell but they have commented, “We will take the best college player avail able.” Most observers think Rus sell is the man. Russell scored 800 points, aver aging 30.8, last season, led the Big Ten in scoring, was named most valuable player in the East- West game and most valuable player in the AAU tournament. An ankle injury kept him off the 1964 Olympic team.

The judo tourney, A&M’s first this, year and planned monthly in the future, was held in G. Rollie White Coliseum.
