o Hockey Officials 'Wait and See' vinvir Vnr n ' V, Hockey League officials adopted a "wait and see" attitude today while the newly-organized play ers association planned to make its first formal requests of the club owners nextApril. The players are particularly interested, it was learned, in dis cussing their role in the NHL's new coast-to-coast telecasts. The decision to form the new associa tion was related directly to the telecasts as well as NHL of ficials' recent predicitions that major league hockey soi will undergo tremendous expansion In the United States. The players announced Mon day that they have organized the association and elected "Ted Lindsay, captain of the Detroit Red Wings, as its president. Lindsay said only one player in the league has not joined the group but he emphasizied the players "areOnot out to make trouble." NHL President Clarence Campbell sounded the keynote for the owners and general man agers, who all conceded the play ers action caught them by sur prise. Campbell said Lindsay's re marks "reprt-nt about as fine a publicOelations statement as the National Hockey League could hopeto have, because it is qute evident that the officials of t new association are com pletely satisfied with the treat ment they have received from the member clubs of the NHL both individual and collectively."

St. Mflry'i Team Surprising California Hoop Association By SCfiTT tAILLIE O United Press Sports Writer San Francisco U.R) Coach Jim Weaver and forward Odell Johnson, two of the quiet men on the St. Mary's campus, are turning the California Basket ball association race into an up roar with the surprise showing of their team. Weaver, bespectacled and shy, has takA a careen ball club that waS-Vated a cinch for the second division and made it into a solid contender for the CBA title. Silent, modest Johnson, who Weaver calls "the most under rated playog on the coast," con tinues to dominate almost every gamers the Gaels' clutch man and number one cog. High in Points "Johnson recently was de scribed as 'unobtrusive' and that just about sums it up," Weaver says. "Sometimes you wouldn't even think he was on the floor, but at the end of a game he usu ally is the high for the night in points and rebounds." A typical Johnsonian finish went into the books last Satur day night when Odell got off a jump shot with two seconds to play which gave St. Mary's a 77-7g) thriller over San Jose State. O The triumph also helped to cgnent Weaver's constant asser tion: "We are capable of beating any team on our schedule." St. Mary's overall record this year, with a team bulging with sophomores plus the veteran Johnson, is 11-7. The Gaels cur rently are third in the tightly jammejt) three-way battle for first place in the CBA.

The Gaels meet San ta Clara on Friday for the first of two games with the Broncos and a rematch with San Jose State is in the offing as well as College of the Pacific and USF. "We can't be counted out of the race yet even if the rest of the schedule is not a bed of roses," Weaver says. "I wasn't discouraged by that loss to USF 70-60. It was a respectable defeat."
