Lew Alcindor, UCLA’s All-American 7-foot-l center who can be expected to lead the Bruins to another 50 or 60 consecutive victories before he graduates in 1969. may not play in either the American Basketball Association or the National Basketball Association. ’ At least that is the way Coach Bruce Hale of the Oakland Oaks sees it. Hale thinks Alcindor will wind up with the Harlem Globetrotters. “I feel the Trotters can offer Alcindor more money than either league can,” Hale said. “I think the NBA may have a problem in connection with Alcindor. The older, established clubs won’t want to sit by and watch one of the expansion teams— Seattle or San Diego—get him. “One of the new teams is likely to finish at the bottom and get the first draft choice. I think the NBA may do something about this. “The ABA doesn't have this problem, for we’re all in the same boat—all new. Naturally, the club lowest in the standings will get the first draft pick.” “At this point in his life,” Hale said, “Alcindor is better than j Wilt Chamberlain was at the same stage.” '

left him just 108 points behind Dave Bing of Detroit, who retained his league scoring lead with 1,126 points and a 27.5

game average.

Walt Hazzard of Seattle and Elgin Baylor of Los Angeles tied for third with 1,013 points in games through last Sunday. Chamberlain continued to lead in two other departments and was third in another key statistic. He maintained first place in field goal percentages with a .564 mark on 411 field goals in 729 attempts, up from .563 of last week, and kept his lead in rebounds with 1,050 caroms to 1015 for Nate Thurmond of San Francisco. Beginning to level off between his scoring and feeding, j Chamberlain was third in assists with 284. only two back of Cincinnati’s Oscar Robertson. Len Wilkens of St. Louis leads the department with 330 assists. Robertson tied Larry Siegfried of Boston as free throw leader by depositing 280 of 325 foul shots for an .862 percentage. Siegfried is 131 for 152 from the foul line for .862.

When Holzman succeeded Dick McGuire as Knickerbocker coach and New York began to win, everybody wondered at wiiat stage the new mentor's luck would fall into the usual pattern of disaster. The Knicks won once, twice, three times. Would it end now? The answer Monday night was no. New York won its fourth straight under Holzman by beating the Sonics in Seattle 119-113 on some aggressive play by big Walt Bellamy, who dragged down 19 rebounds and scored 27 points in the night’s only

league action.

Dick Barnett was an able assistant with six scoring feeds and 25 points for New York. Seattle rallied with a 35-point fourth quarter, but fell short and dropped 19 games back of the pace as the Western Division cellar-dweller. Tom
