NFL draft opens Tuesday with quarterback slated at top

NEW YORK (AP) - It’s a great year for linemen and linebackers,- but All-American quarterback Steve Bartkowski was expected to be the No. I selection today when the- National Football League opened its annual two-day draft of college stars. • “I think Atlanta and -the South are the- places to play lootball,” Battkowski said Monday shortly before he left the University of California and flew to Atlanta and the South, where he was scheduled for an early morning news conference today. “They take the game seriously and- the fans have enthusiasm, as l learned from trips to Gainesville, Fla., and Mobile, Ala. I look forward to playing with the Falcons.” And the Falcons look forward to having the-strong-armed, 6-

McGlockiiTs shot lifts Bucks

NEW ORLEANS (APj - “We needed that shot,” said Milwaukee Coach Larry Costello when Jon McGlocklin hit a 15-foot jumper in the final second -Monday night to give the Bucks a 117-115 National Basketball Association victory over the New Orleans Jaz&. “When our first play broke down, McGlocklin-showed good judgment and took the shot the Jazz gave him,” Costello explained. He referred to the Bucks’ attempt to drive on New Orleans but the set play was thwarted when the Jazz defense tightened.

foot-4, 212-pound drop-back passer who broke Craig- Morton’s single-season Cal passing record by throwing for 2,580 yards, including 12 touchdowns. “He’s the best to come along since Jim Plunkett,” says Tom Braatz, Atlanta’s player personnel director. - - If Bartkowski is the No. 1 pick, he will be the first quarterback to achieve the honor since the New England Patriots tabbed Stanford’s Plunkett in 1971. The last three No ; I picks were defensive hnemen ■ Notre Dame’s Walt Patulski by Buffalo in 1972, Tampa’s John Matuszak by Houston in 1973 and Tennessee State’s Ed “Too Tall” Jones by Dallas last year. • Bartkowski is rated the best of a slim quarterback crop. But there’s no shortage of linemen and linebackers.

Jazz Coach Bill van Breda Kolff mourned the loss but praised his team’s performance. - • - - “1 hope we can keep playing this way, because when we have a bad stretch we are still able to come from behind,” Van Breda Kolff said. The Jazz fell behind twice by 11-points, but battled back each time, tying it at 115-11-5 until McGlocklin sank his game saver. The game was the only one in the NBA and no games were scheduled in the American Basketball Association.

Pete Brown, director of scouting sot the Cincinnati Bengals, is • especially high on the linebacking prospects. “It’s the top year for linebackers since I’ve been in the business,” he says, mentioning 230-pound Robert Brazile of Jackson, Miss., State as “the finest I’ve seen in three years.” Other outstanding linebackers available include Rod Shoate of Oklahoma, Bob Breunig of Arizona State, Ken Bernich of Auburn, Richard Wood of Southern California and Fred -Dean of Louisiana Tech, a 220-pound two-time College Division AllAmerican as a defensive tackle but a pro linebacking prospect because of his size. Atlanta, which originally was supposed to pick No. 3, acquired the No. 1 choice in a trade with the Baltimore Colts last Thursday. The Falcons

Milwaukee’s Kareenv AbdulJabbar poured in 41 points to take scoring honors for the night. Pete Maravich led the Jazz with 36 points, including-15-in the fourth quarter that sparked a rally with New Orleans trailing by seven points with five minutes remaining. It was the biggest home crowd ever for the Jazz in the Loyola Field House with 6,419 on hand. - - Milwaukee evened its season mark at 23-23 while New Orleans fell to 5-40.

gave up six-year offensive tackle George Kunz and their own first-round -pick in exchange for Baltimore’s No. 4 plus the Colts' sixth-round pick. The Colts and New York Giants finished with 2-12 records, worst in the NFL. However, the Giants traded their First-round pick to Dallas in midseason for quarterback Morton and Baltimore won the coin flip with the Cowboys, 4he choice they eventually swapped to Atlanta. After the Falcons draft Bartkowski, the Cowboys, were expected to go for 255-pound de-

Goalie protests winner

KANSAS CITY (APf - Goalie Denis Herron of the Kansas City Scouts said the game-tying goal by the Boston Bruins Monday night should not have been allowed. “The puck hit Don Marcotte’s skate,” explained Herron, sad over the fact the Bruins were able to tie the Scouts 3-3 with 46 seconds left in the only National Hockey League gam© on the night's schedule. “Am 4 sure it hit his skate*? Yeah t I’m sure. That’s illegal. I’d like to see a replay. - “I tried to protest4o the offi-cial-but he said the puck wasn’t kicked ... it ricocheted, and that’s- legal. It's bad feeling to see puck go into- net. Those guys are very experienced- It makes me feel good to play them so well.” Only four nights earlier the expansion Scouts surprised the Bruins by grabbing a 3-2 victory in Boston.

fensive end Randy White of Maryland, a two-time AllAmerican with 4.7 speed and exceptional strength. There have been rumors that White will be -given a shot at middle linebacker, but Coach Tom Landry is said to oppose such a move. Following the picks by Atlanta and Dallas, the Colts draft third, followed by Chicago, Cleveland and Houston. The Oilers will -use Kansas City’s first-round pick acquired in the John Matuszak-Curley Culp swap.

The game-tying play -was started by Wayne- Cashman, who sent the puck from the right boards into a tangle of bodies in front of the Scouts’ net. In the scramble, Phil Esposito and Carol Vadnais got their sticks on the puck, and then it hit Marcotte, who scored his 22nd goal of the season. Twice- the Scouts led. Goals by Norm Dube and Guy C’harron puC them ahead 2-0 in the first - period before Boston struck back when Rod Graham deflected-a close shot off Herron’sdeg pad. Esposito tied it 2-2 in the-sec-ond on a screen shot from 35 feet out for his 46th tally. The Scouts went ahead 2-3 with five minutes, 24 seconds to go on Robin Burns’ 35-foot slap shot that Went through goalie Gilles Gilbert’s legs. Esposito had his 47th assist to boost his total to 93.
