That obviously puts Bradley out of the NBA picture although there undoubtedly would be a big bundle of money for his servicesig loser in Bradley's! case is the New York Knickerbockers, who would first crack at him since Princeton is within their territorial of influence. New York has two first-round picks under the NBA's new drafting system to help the divisional and might use one of them for Bradley on the off-chance he will be available some day. Leading possibilities, in order; of height, seem to be: Fred Hetzel Davidson, Ollie Johnson of San Francisco and Toby Kimball of Connecticut, 6-8: Rick, Barry of Miami of Florida, Bill Buntin of Michigan, Dave Stallworth of Wichita and Jim Washington of Villanova, 6-7; Bill Cunningham of North Carolina and Jerry Sloan of Evansville, 6-5; and Gail Goodrich of and Flynn Robinson of Wyoming, 6-1.

Goodrich is likely to be a territorial choice of the Los Angeles Lakers, Buntin the Detroit Pistons, Johnson of San Francisco Warriors and Washington of the Philadelphia 76ers. Taller men who probably will get a call are Eddie Jackson, Oklahoma City, 7-0; Frank Gramat, Alliance College, and Dan Anderson, Augsburg College, 6-11; and Nate Bowman, Wichita, and Hack Tison, Duke, 6-10. New York of the Eastern Division and San Francisco of the Western will flip a coin to determine the first four picks. Should San Francisco win toss, it'll get Nos. 1 and 3 and New York Nos.

CHARLOTTE A 20 At End Raymond C. "Bucky" Waters, the new West Virginia University basketball coach, must have run up quite a telephone bill since he returned former home in after accepting the coaching job in Morgantown.

Waters left word at my desk Monday night to call hint his From 8 until 10:30 tried. The line WaS busy. I went home to Edgewood Castle and the operator tried every 15 minutes until 12. The line was busy. I had her check.

"There's someone talking on the line," the operator said. Twenty-four hours later I picked up the sports department phone. It was "Bucky" Waters. He just wanted to pass the word along the Southeastern West Virginia sports fans that he's in there pitching. Right now, the 29-year-old North Carolina State graduate, admits he's burning the wires.

"My pressing need is a big Assistants From what I've read and heard from fellows like Eddie Barrett, Waters is a persistent fellow, especially the line of what he wants from his players. "I met with the basketball squad for about 30 minutes while I was in Morgantown," the new coach said. "I laid out my program to them. We'll work hard all the time, We'll be realistic about our play. We'll encourage defense.

We'll encourage good percentage shooting. We'll always play to win." Waters likes the challenge that the West Virginia job is already offering him. Here he is with a goodly group of sophomores, them play once in Pittsburgh, but only one good junior ahead of them, Bob Benfield. Now he's facing that challenge of getting, some good men right these sopho- Sports JottingsWires Burning As Waters Hits Recruiting Trail -By George Springer boy," he said in reply to a question of "how goes the recruiting?"

I've got several in mind." Waters will to pull some kind of a rabbit out of a hat and I said it must be "quite discouraging." "Don't use that word," he said. far from discouraged. I'll work things out and, I hope, for everyone's good." Of course, the former Duke assistant coach wouldn't give any inkling as to whom he may have in mind. I kidded about his line being busy all Monday night, sounding like he was down on bis knees via telephone pleading with Lew Alcindor. until are signed are, 20 No grant aids good or after, SO there must be still hope for Waters and he sounded like the type of a guy who won't give up.

Can Wait mores. "I've got to back these sophomores up with the right kind of boys," Waters said. Waters hasn't been too busy with his puzzling task of recruiting to be thinking of completing his coaching staff. Presumably he will be looking for young men like himself. He definitely said, "My freshman coach must be a fellow who has good discipline on his squad so that when they come up to the varsity they'll be able to play my type of basketball." The new WVU coach says he'll do some research in order to get the right fellows to help him, brith isn't greatly concerned that worry now.

"I'm putting my puzzle together," he said. "After I get the recruiting job satisfactorily arranged we'll get to the matter of assistant Leaving State stop this flow of basketball players going out da the state." Hurt added that Waters has a tremendous personality and "I'm real happy he is now in West Virginia." Waters had nothing but praise for Howard Hurt, the former Woodrow Wilson star. "He was captain of Duke for two years when I first went there." Waters said. "He a smart basketball player. He steadied down a lot of ottr younger players, like Art Hey.

"I want to be able to meet all the fans in the state. I'll surely be around some time before long. But let me get my puzzle solved first. CARDINAL FIND ST. LOUIS (AP) The world champion St.

Al Besselink, the golfing companion of Hogan this week, capsuled the feelings of many when he reported: "I played a round with Ben Hogan the other day, and that is always one of the pleasures of being here.

With his putting woes behind him, he appears capable of duplicating the feat. Palmer was nosed out by Lema in the press balloting as likely winner.

Billy Casper, defending champion, swept home with the Bob Hope Classic this season, and, being the man who never frets about putting, is ranked high among the favorites. a By Colonial custom, the legendary Byron Nelson will strike the first shot of the 1965 tournament.
