"On the other side of the coin, I have a splendid business opportunity with a dynamic, growing organization in Los Angeles. They've afforded me an opportunity that very few people come across at this stage of their lives." LaRusso averaged 21.8 points over the last two seasons, the best of his career.

He scored 11,507 points in 737 NBA games over 10 years for a span average of 15.6. In addition, he had 1,344 points in 93 playoff games.

LaRusso, who will be 32 on Nov. 11, played eight seasons with the Lakers and the past two with San Francisco. The Warriors were counting on him when a court ordered Rick Barry to play this season with the Washington Caps of the American Basketball Assn.

Noticing that his audience had quite suddenly fainted, Wellman, public relations director of Western Harness, amended his statement. "Well, we won't complain if they make a few wagers," he said. If you haven't noticed, Pres Jenuine's sulkies are at it again these evenings in Hollywood Park. As a matter of fact, they are at it every night except Sunday, and they will be for 69 more sessions in their second season under the lights.

Pittsburgh scored four times in the first period, three of them power-play goals, and went on to a 5-2 victory over the Kings in a preseason game here Wednesday night.

Veterans Dean Prentice and Jean Pronovost each scored twice for the Penguins. Dennis Hextall and Leon Rochefort scored the Kings' goals. The game was highlighted by a brawl at center ice in the second period. L.A.'s Skip Krake and Tracy Pratt, Penguin defenseman, became entangled and began swinging. Both goalies, L.A.'s Gerry Desjardins and Pitt's Al Smith, who rushed to stop the battle, ended up trading blows before the officials broke things up.

Pratt and Krake each drew a 5-minute penalty for fighting. The loss gave the Kings a 2-4-1 exhibition record. They break camp at Bar-rie, on Saturday and head for Victoria, B.C., where they open a three-game tour of the Northwest with the Seattle Totems of Western Hockey League.

Standing as a testimonial, perhaps, to the good balance of our good citizens, this hasn't been the case.

Competition being what it is, harness racing attendance is just about the same as it ever was. It's healthy enough, but it's not swallowing the rest of the town.

We're giving it away at Hollywood Park. We think young couples, in particular, who might be going out to dinner or a nightclub can just as well spend the evening at the races and get all the same things at better prices. Really, this is the bargain basement." Roar of the Roaring Twenties As proof of his pudding, Wellman said Western Harness is planning a series of special-event evenings designed primarily to attract people who don't know a pacer from a trotter. The first one arrives Friday night Roaring Twenties Night with everything from the good old days except Dan Patch. It's not quite all on the house, but pretty close.

Check these items: Ladies escorted by a male companion will be admitted for 25 cents Free straw hats will be given to the first 5,000 customers There will be three Dixieland bands parading around the premises, including the natural of the week, Spencer Quinn and His Longshots Soft drinks will sell for a nickel Hot dogs will be a dime Beer will go for two-bits Between mces, Jay Fiondella, proprietor of Chez Jay's in Santa Monica and an accomplished balloonist, tvill take off and land several times in his No. 1 yellow bag. Hopefully, at least, he will land. Jay got that way a few years ago managing fighters. "We can't let him go higher than 150 feet," sighed Wellman, "because of the TWA flight patterns." Anyway, it's still one of the brighter offers of the moment, and maybe Wellman actually is sincere when he vows the only thing they want is for everybody to have a good time while indirectly learning what harness racing is all about.

It's not that Western Harness is desperate. The opening night turnout a week ago Tuesday was 12,607 a new mid-week record for the sulkies. Top crowd for the young meeting so far was last Saturday night's 15,624. "And that was in direct competition with the USC-Northwestern game at the Coliseum, Don Drysdale Day earlier at Dodger Stadium, the Pomona Fair and the Ice Follies next door at the Forum" said Wellman. Record single attendance still belongs to daylight-standing at 23,787 for the Saturday afternoon of Nov.

5, 1966. The night record is 21,182 recorded last Nov. 16. "We hope to take care of' both those marks Friday night," said Wellman, disappearing back into his favorite lake. Incidentally, the price of the pari-mutuel tickets remains the same.

Aragon Trips in Memory Lane A tear-stained note, with a cauliflower ear for a stamp, arrived this week from our town's most colorful bail bondsman. "Time marches on," it began. "I went to the fights last week in Las Vegas and saw a young newcomer, 19-year-old Cipriano Hernandez, beat up on a ring-worn veteran, obviously long overdue for retirement. "It was so sad to see this young boy beating up on this old man because it was evident that this old man had nothing left. "Who do you suppose this old-timer was? It was Alvaro Gutierrez, who 10 years ago was an up-and-coming, 24-year-old prospect and who one night at the Olympic Auditorium did the very same thing to Art Aragon.

"Time marches on. Golden Boy." Could it really be 10 years since Aragon last swaggered down the aisle in his golden robe? Yes, just about. The book says Art's last fight in a 17-year, 114-bout pro career a ninth-round TKO loss to Gutierrez was Jan. 21, I960. Arthur has mellowed and gotten very serious.

His stationery no longer even says, "I'll get you out if it takes 10 years." Time really does march on. 4 I WW a $750 Fifth gallon $875 Quarter gallon WORLD'S IiIOHTESTECCT Enough of the gigantic, the colossal, the magnificent Maybe what you want out of Scotch is a lot simpler.
