Page 4 The Battalion Tuesday, June 8,1953 Sports Briefs Judg* ;e decides not to halt sale of Houston Rockets HOUSTON (AP) — A Houston judge on Monday refused to erect a legal barrier to the sale of the Houston Rockets to Florida businessman Les Alexander. After an 11-hour hearing. State District Judge Monday night, Alexander called Kennedy's decision "a big relief/' while Fertitta said he was "shocked" and "extremely disappointed." "We could file an appeal, but I don't think we're going to. I think it's over, and I congratulate Mr. Alexander," Fertitta said. Bradley, however, did not rule out the possibility of further legal action. postseason play have rallied from 3-1 series deficits. Montreal lost its first playoff game in overtime at Quebec, but has been the ultimate clutch team since. Not only haven't they lost an OT game in that span, they are 12-0 in one-goal games since. Auto accident in Germany cK LeClair scores in overtime, kills New Jersey's Petrovic Canadiens beat Kings, 3-2 Thomas from selling the team to Alexander for $85 million. Two of the team's limited partners asked for the injunction. They sought the right to purchase the team themselves. The contract Thomas has with his Class A limited partners allows them to match any offer of less than $85 million. But Tilman Fertitta, one of the limited partners, noted that Alexander originally offered to pay $81 for the club, an offer that Thomas accepted on April 30. Fertitta claimed Alexander couldn't raise his offer to $85 million on May 18, while the limited partners were voting on the first proposal. After Alexander upped his offer, Fertitta — backed by Sugar Land businessman John Moores filed suit and got a temporary restraining order to block the sale to Alexander. Another limited partner, Gary Bradley of Austin, agreed with Fertitta but wanted to buy the team with the financial backing of New Mexico businessman Gavin Maloof. Bradley also filed suit to protect his rights to purchase the team. Thomas sided with Alexander throughout. INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) - John LeClair and the rest of the overtime kings are simply too much for the Los Angeles Kings. Le Clair scored his second overtime winner in as many games, banking the puck off two Los Angeles players 14:37 into OT Monday night, as the Montreal Canadiens won 3-2 to go up three games to one in the Stanley Cup finals. Game 5 is scheduled for Wednesday night at Montreal, where the Canadiens could wrap up their first NHL championship since 1986. The most successful franchise in professional sports, the Canadiens are seeking their 24th NHL title. Montreal has won 10 straight overtime games in these playoffs, a record. Their last six OT games in the finals have been victories. The Kings must recognize that only one of 23 teams to fall behind 3-1 in the finals has come back to win — Toronto in 1942 against Detroit. And only 11 teams in the history of NHL NEW YORK (AP) - New Jersey Nets guard Drazen Petrovic was killed in an automobile accident in Germany on Monday, his attorney said. Nicholas Goyak said from his home in McMinnville, Ore., that he had spoken with members of Petrovic's family and they confirmed that the Croatia native was killed in the accident. The 28-year-old Petrovic, one of the NBA's top guards, was a member of Croatia's silver medal- winning Olympic team. He left the United States after the Nets were eliminated from the playoffs not sure whether he was going to return to the NBA or play with a European club next season. He had just finished playing with Croatia in the qualifying tournament for the European championships in Wroclaw, Poland. The team advanced to the June 22 championships in Germany. Petrovic, who was selected to the All-NBA third team, averaged 22.3 points on 52 percent shooting and was one of the league's top 3-point shooters.

Today, the cost of autographs ranges from $5 on up. And though salary was important to the players of old, it was rare that it stopped them from enjoying their passion for the game. But today, salary is usually decided upon by a person called an arbitrator who gets the dubious honor of deciding whether a playeris worth a seven figure salary or a six figure salary. Whatever happened to the concept of a "team." To day, many players are not content with their teams, it's not the fans they dislike, it's their management. Of course, sometimes to get out of this situation the play er waits until his contract expires and then shops him self around the league, lending his services to the high est bidder — a sort of ballpark prostitution if you will. It just doesn't seem as if the baseball players ofto- day are playing the game for the same reasons as the players of the past. But for some reason I thought baseball was supposed to be one of the true constants in American life. Though I still believe the gameis,ifs the players I wonder about. •Basketball So what about basketball? In the past it was the tough battles, almost brawls, between the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers. It was forceful, scrappy play that drove the athletes to reach deep within themselves and bring out every bit of energy they had to defeat theen- emy at the opposite end of the court. It was mortal en emies like Laker forward Kurt Rambis and Celtic for ward Kevin McHale giving each other jabs in the kid neys while fighting For position down in the blocks and then trashing each other to the press after the game. In an interview before he retired this past season, McHale commented on the change he's seen over the years, noting that he loved hating all of the othei teams in the league. He said it brought out the true essence and strength of the on-going battles and the ri valries were not restricted to the court. McHale said he couldn't understand how the play ers of today could battle against each other and then hug and joke around with each other after the games He brings up a good point — it does seem as if someof the competitive fire has burned out in the new l generation. Maybe it's because many of the players have the same agents. Maybe it's because many oftlie players are just out to cash a paycheck. Whatever itis, the fact still remains that players on the whole have changed. Tuesd $8.00 per game umpiring ASA softball 3 to 5 games per night. Call Pat 776-2053, 822-1519.

Monday's Scoreboard Texas Boston - Rain Toronto Chicago Milwaukee Baltimore Kansas City Minnesota Cleveland California Detroit Seattle Oakland New York Monday's Scoreboard Chicago Philadelphia Cincinnati Atlanta Florida - Late 7 7 12 4 New York Houston Montreal San Diego Los Angeles Football Football has recently felt the force of change in its players as well, and again the culprit seems to be mon ey. The one-time quest for a Super Bowl victory has given way to a larger paycheck with better incentives. In the past, college players worried about just get ting drafted. Now, if a player isn't happy with the team that drafted him, he can just sit out the season and play the free-agent market when his contract ex pires. Defensive end Reggie White recently left the Philadelphia Eagles, a very competitive team over last few years, to join one of the weaker teams in the league — the Green Bay Packers. Whatever happened to commitment and loyalty? We would never have seen "Mean" Joe Green of the Pittsburgh Stealers leave to play for the Dallas Cowboys just because he was of fered more money. In fact. Green would have proba bly taken such an offer as an insult and, in their next game against Dallas, look to destroy every Cowboy he could. After thinking things over I am convinced that base ball, basketball and football have all stayed true con stants in the American pastime. The athletes of today, however, are nothing like the athletes of the past. Like a swindler on the street trying to make a quick buck, many athletes of today have taken something from us all.
