Los Angeles made it 10 victories in 13 meetings with Milwaukee over a two-year span by trouncing the Bucks, 116-94, in the National Basketball Association last night. Steady bombarding by Gail Goodrich from about 20 feet out resulted in five field goals for the Laker guard in the third period and he went on to top the team with 24 points for the game.

Kareen Abdul-Jabbar, who had been averaging 40.2 points In 12 previous contest against Los Angeles, was held to 29 points, his lowest production In a Laker game since April 18, 1971.

He came to the Stars at the start of the season from the defunct Floridians, but was the No. 4 guard. Warren, on the other hand, had just been traded to Dallas In a deal with the Carolina Cougars, and Chap Coach Babe McCarthy told newsmen a few weeks ago he looked to the powerful, 6-5, 190-pound guard to be his team leader. "It's a mystery why Dallas would let him go so easily," Ferrin said. "Bobby is everything Jones isn't.

While he's not a good shooter, we can count on him for top-flight defense and team play In the form of assists." Ferrin added the trade involved a straight player swap with no strings attached. "That's what is so amazing," he said. "It's a tremendous trade for us because we already have plenty of fine shooters. With Warren, we have so much more with his other attributes. Jones, 30, is the all-time leading scorer in the American Basketball Association.

SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) -The Utah Stars made an "unbelievable" trade with the Dallas Chaparrals, sending reserve guard Larry Jones to the Texas city for backcourt specialist Bobby Warren. "I went to sleep last night wondering if I did anything wrong," said Stars General Manager Arnie Ferrin. "It began to sink in on me that this deal is really unbelievable." Jones, who is a strong shooter but weak on defense and team play, was unhappy about 884-8855 TM-STATE BILLIARDS RT.51 MAYTID! PGH. Open Mm. Thru Fri.
