Pipers Lose Dick Barnett CLEVELAND, Dec. 21 (AP) Dick Barnett, formpr National Basketball Association player with the Syracuse Na tionals, said today he was "terribly disappointed" over a court order barring him from playing this season with the Cleveland Pipers in the rival American Basketball League. Common Pleas Court Judge Saul S. Danaeeau this morning granted Syracuse a permanent inunction preventing Barnett from competing with the Pipers only for this season. The judge pointed out his order did not compel Barnett to play with the Nats.

The reserve clause in the Syracuse contract appparently was the key factor in the ruling. Syracuse obtained Ihe injunction on grounds a contract Barnett signed the previous season gave it the legal right to his services this year.

"That's the only spot open I know alout. And Hob Watetlield still is coaching the Rams utiles there's been a sudden change. "It's a mystery to hip bow (hose stories (jet started.

The galloping hacks to which Parker had reference were Boh Ferguson, Ohio State's All-America fullback: Gary Ballman, the workhorse halfback of Michigan State; Jack Collins, a jackrabbit from the University of Texas; Nat Tucker, Florida top speedster, and John Knight of Valparaiso who could be the sleeper.

Ferguson and a 1 1 a Parker happily adfled, arp in the fold but lie is anxiously awaiting a signed contract from Collins, who was some shucks as a hack in a section of the country that seems to have a private mold on turning out groat backs.

He could be the runner we've hepii looking for so long to run outside and go the distance.

"And Tucker and Knight also are still unsigned. Roth those fellows have been highly rated and I know they could be of help in the rebuilding of our offensive back-field." While on the subject of unfounded stories, Parker said he has been the recipient of numerous calls from sportswriters in Washington concerning the report that he was trying to obtain George Izo. a "second string quarterback from the Redskins. The latest angle on that yarn, as the Capitol scribes had it, was that Parker offered Big Daddy Lipscomb, the defensive tackle star, for the former Notre Dame passer. Gee, I never mentioned a body for trade to (George Preston) Marshall, owner of the Redskins, in my talk about I.o.

In fact, I never even said I would trade for I.o. I was just sort of asking around. But that's how things get mixed up." Every Parliament gives you an extra jnargin. Tobacco tastes best when the.
