In the lack of such wild interest as there is now in pro football, and, such strong interest as there is in college football, baseball and hockey, isn't it reasonable to conclude that television coverage of pro basketball will reach its saturation point much earlier? It may well have reached it now, with the NBA. What will the ABA have to offer, except for a lot of enthusiasm within its own ranks? It'll be inferior basketball, played by inferior players and, in many cases, in inferior arenas.

The New York franchise, core of the new association as it must be, doesn't have a home court. Its chances of getting a good one, on in which the Freighters could even break even, are indeed slim. They're talking about the renovation of the Singer Bowl on the World's Fair grounds as the ultimate answer to the Freighters' needs. It would seat 10,000 to 12,000. But the building of a roof, and the installation of both heating and air-conditioning equipment would run the cost upwards of $2 million.

Let's forget it. They're talking about renting the Coliseum. Not only would the seating capacity somewhat less than 5,000 be insufficient, but Baeza to Stupendous, who was a flop on the grass in last week's Palm Beach 'Cap; On the dirt to VrrnW. WTH'f Mrv Wvomsn V3I. Yeshiv.

Is there one in New York that would fit the need? The 69th Regiment Armory at 26th St.

has served more basketball than any other. But it is close to being a fire trap and people have shown in the past they don't like to spend an evening there as a regular diet. It will be at least two years before a new arena is completed in Kansas City. In the meantime, that ABA club will play its games in the Memorial Auditorium. Its rental schedule is normally as full as the New York Coliseum's.

"We know that Wilt Chamberlain will be in our league," John Murphy, brother of an Oakland franchise co-owner, promised some coast eportswriters this week. "I know that I won't." countered the tall Philadelphia star. "I wish that new league would stop prostituting my name. The only favorable thing I've said about them is that it is good for the player to have competition between two leagues. It opens up his market.

But I have no plans to move, said Wilt. There have been persistent reports that Oscar Robertson will jump to the ABA. And Davidson, the young Santa Ana, attor ney and Dallas co-owner elected to the presidency, was asked about reports the new league had the one-time Princeton great, Bill Worn Bradley, all sewed up. The 6-5 Bradley, first choice of the nicks two years ago, is now completing his last term at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. While the law is his ultimate goal, he has played considerable basketball in Italy and in England and probably could step right into a pro lineup here.

"I know of no contacts our league has had with Bradley," de clared Davidson. "But any one of our 10 teams could have made arrangements on their own." "We have the means to compete with the NBA for players," Mikan said. "We expect to get our share and we should also wind up with some of their superstars. Do They nave $Vz Million for Big "I don't think so," countered Eddie Dcnovan, the Knicks' general manager. "Chamberlain and Kobertson and Lucas and West and the others know what they're doing.

Robertsor knows he can make another half million by staying in the NBA. Would any new franchise have the funds to put that much in escrow for him? "Let's not forget one thing," Eddie concluded. "Even if, perchance, they did get Chamberlain, for example. Wilt isnt all the people want to see. Wilt against five inferiors don mean a thing.

It's Wilt Bill Russell; Robertson vs. West and the other great duels we've built up that keeps the people most interested in our game." Dick Young is on vacation.) iwv.
