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.
USF Mee8 Santa Clara
The University of San Fran
cisco, getting off the floor after
O
its 60 game winning streak per
ished earlier this season is in the
number one spot and meets sec
ond place Santa Clara tonight.
Weaver agrees that the going
will be a lot harder for St.
Mary's from now on as most of
its league wins have been posted
over the weaker sisters in the
conference. 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."
Taylor Not To

Portland (U.R) Kip Taylor,
former football coach at Oregon
State, removed himself from con

also said he wasn't interested.
Among names popping up in
recent speculation was that of
