Next, at 12.2 points, was Fred Lewis of Arizona State. The others were Jim Dawson of Illinois, Jerry Harkness of Loyola Chicago, and George Peeples of

Iowa.

Bob Netolicky of Drake, at 6-9 the tallest Pacer, will start at center. Also expected to see plenty of action were former Cincinnati All-American Ron Bonham, ex-Indiana star Jimmy Rayl, Bobby Edmonds of Tennessee A & I, and Oliver Darden of Michigan. “We’re down to 12 players and whoever does the best job will play,” said the 6-8 coach who played basketball at Villa Madonna in Kentucky and in the pro ranks at Cincinnati and

The Pacers will not concentrate on long-range shooting from beyond the 25-foot circle for 3-point baskets, an innovation in the new league, but on quickness and finesse. “Our real job is playing as a team and finding that open man,” Staverman said. “If we do that, we should be able to hold our own.”
