Syracuse, N. Y. Tuesday, Mai'eh 14, 1907 Playoff Decision Due Today NBA Strike Imminent hopes to repeat in that role; a ruggedly defensive team that has made a few goals go a long way, and a pair of hard-hitting, ligh-scoring once-beaten teamsj NEW YORK (AP) A strike of the National Basketball Association players appeared inimi- A league spokesman said there were no major developments over the weekend--no meetings between league and player representatives, no negotiations, none are scheduled. nent Monday as the deadline approached for negotiations with the owners, NBA Commissioner The principal issues involve the player pension plan. The present plan calls for a 10-year player to receive a month 30 years after retirement.

The players want $600. The owners have offered $500. "The problem in a nutshell," Kennedy has given the players until noon Tuesday to confirm that they will play in (lie postseason playoffs. If they don't agree by that time. Hie playoffs will be cancelled, he said, and the players' pool will evaporate.

said Oscar Robertson of Cincin- Keeping Posted With Bill Reddy Now that the so-called "common" draft has been arranged, and the warfare between the pro football leagues has been largely eliminated, today's draft of football players has lost some of its excitement for onlookers. It's still a big thing for the players being drafted, however. Possibly by common agreement, there has been little advance talk about probable draftees, which is the sort of thing that must make this year's seniors nervous. They don't know what to expect, and that's probably the way the club owners like it. Big interest here lies with halfback Reddy Floyd Little, a three-time All-American who seems certain to be drafted early.

There has been talk that Floyd might land with the Giants or the Patriots, both of which would have a popular drawing card in this fleet ball- carrier from New Haven, Conn. Yet it may develop that geography won't enter into this or most other choices. The Baltimore Colts, who get first pick, might plump for Little right away, and I understand they've shown some interest in that direction. They've also been interested in Clint Jones and Mel Farr, among ball-carriers, and they could go for a quarterback, either Bob Griese or Steve Spurrier. The Colts might not go for any of these for their first pick, however.

Remembering how hard up they were for defensive tackles and ends last year, so hard up that they persuaded Gino Marchetti to come out of retirement, the Colts might feel that the line is where they need prime help. In that case, they might well go for Bubba Smith, Michigan State's huge tackle who probably could help anybody. A welcome sight at the NIT was Nat Holman, one of the earliest of the well remembered basketball pros, later a brilliant coach at CCNY, and now retired. Nat, now seventy-ish, sports a heavy shock of gray hair, he's still as dapper, as decisive and as jaunty as ever. Syracuse's Fred Lewis, himself a New Yorker and long-time friend of Nat's, was telling about time he was "pinched" at Madison Square Garden.

Fred was the Long Island University basketball captain, and as such he was in charge of his team's tickets. When police saw him handing tickets to his teammates when they arrived, the cops assumed that Fred was "scalping" the tickets. It took some frantic telephoning to get Lewis back to the Garden in time to play for LIU that night. Holman recalled a similar incident, but with a twist. His CCNY team was playing NYU, but Lazarus Joseph, then a high-ranking city official and an alumnus of NYU, asked Nat to help get him into the game.

When the two met at the armory for the game, somebody asked Joseph to help "spring" an NYU player who had been arrested scalping. "So Mr. Joseph made a couple of phone calls, got the player off the hook, and then he went into the game with me. Do you know, that player who had to be sprung was the buy who beat us that night!" Next big sports affair in Cortland will be the dinner honoring Bill Schickle of Dryden, captain of this yearns Notre Dame wrestling team. Bill is a graduate of St.

Mary's of Cortiand and the March 29 dinner will be in the school cafeteria, with Moose Krause, ND director oJ athletics, as principal speaker. Guess who's in charge of tickets? That's right, John W. Morgan. Mail requests will be handled through Cortland PO Box 1001. If you'd like to spread some sunshine, you could spread a bit in the direction of Fred K.

Mueller, longtime athlete and referee in this area. Fred, who is a former of the Onondaga County Exempt Firemen, now is in Firemen's Home at Hudson, N.Y., and he'd be delighted to hear from old friends. Mueller, now 67, played basketball with Holy Trinity, ACU and the Pastime A.C., refereed bouts in Syracuse, Rochester, Binghamton and Auburn, working at the Arena here when the late Billy Shaw was matchmaker. Soda pops for Carstairs Agood the fife of any nati, president of the NBA Players Association, "is that we want the plan retroactive for players now in the league." If their demands are not met. the players have threatened to strike, lo refuse to play in the playoffs.

In a week-end telegram to Lawrence Fleisher, the players' attorney, Kennedy said: "The owners and the players have substantial obligations to the public in the NBA playoffs now scheduled to commence March 21."

In 25 games, the Cornell goalie has al- owed only 39 goals for a 1.55 average, and he has been credited with 619 saves.

Coach Jack Kelly of BU has a tremendous scorer In Herb WakabayasM, who has tad 16 goals and 51 assists for 7 points. Teaming with him are Serge Boile, 55 points, and Mickey Grey, 48 points. Doug Ferguson has been the standout with Cornell, having notched 26 goals and 34 assists for 60 points. Pete Tufford ranks next with 46 points, Mike Doran ttas 44 points, and Doug's twin brother, Dave Ferguson, has 32 points.

A third Ferguson, Bob (who is a soph while his brothers are seniors), has netted 17 goals and seven assists for 25 points. The team that wasn't supposed to get into the tournament last year--and which won it-wasn't due again this year, but has made the round of four again. Michigan State went into the 196G tournament at Minneapolis with a 14-13 record, but beat Boston University and Clarkson for the title. This year the Spartans come here with a 1544-1 record, but they're hitting a hot streak. They beat Michigan and Michigan Tech to qualify for the finals.

North Dakota, which won the Western Association playoff by eliminating Minnesota and favored Denver, brings a 20-7 record here. The Kodak's scoring leader is Bob Munroe, with 15 goals and 15 assists. They've been so tough on defense that they've allowed only 3,5 goals per game but the margin isn't big. Their own average has been 3.9 goals per game. The ticket sale, -which has been brisk momentum for weeks, gained yesterday after it was official that Cornell would participate.

Tickets still are available at the War Memorial box office, but only orders for sets of four will be accepted through Wednesday. On Thursday, any single-game tickets which are still available will go on sale. If any championship tickets are available, they will go on sale Saturday morning. Cornell plays North Takota at 8 p.m. Thursday; Boston University plays Michigan State at p.m.
