Competition Committee until Wednesday He did say the zone defense was almost unanimously opposed field goal but said the three-poin- t from (for shots made beyond 22 feet) has some support The

X A KATHY MILLER DALLAS (UPI) — Norm Sonju president of a group hoping to bring a National Basketball Association franchise to Dallas said Tuesday he felt the only concern NBA officials had about the area was its overwhelming loyalty to football Sonju will make a presentation to the NBA expansion committee next Monday two days before the annual league meetings begin in Florida “I’ve visited with 20 of the 22 members of the NBA’s board of governors” Sonju “I Pros Draft Kathy Miller forward from Kathy Miller a Weber State College was drafted in the first round Tuesday by Milwaukee of the Women’s Professional Basketball Association selecMiller an tion during her four years with the Lady Wildcats was the 15th player chosen in the draft She led the conference in scoring last season averaging 283 points per game Her average of 116 rebounds per outing placed her in the top two in the conference During her career at WSC Miller scored 2743 points for an average of 275 per game She had 1296 rebounds for an average of 131 per game despite being the smallest forward in the conference 5-- 6 For the past two yars Miller was a finalist for the Wade Trophy an award presented to the best woman basketball player in the nation She was invited to try out for the US Pan American team this year and was nominated four times as an all-Americ- an Mo Eckroth of the University of Utah was also selected in the first round of the draft Eckroth was selected by Iowa the league’s runner-up team last season She was the 13th player selected Los Angeles took Pam Shirley of Utah State in the fourth round and Minnesota picked Utah’s Jerie McGahan in the fifth round Patty Montgomery of USU was drafted by Minnesota in the seventh round Golf Tourney Winners Told TREMONTON — Winners have been announced in the Northern Division Women’s Golf Association Invitational Tournament held here Tuesday at the Skyway course Top tourney finishers were Championship flight low gross — 1st Alma Bryant 42 2nd Blon-di- e Fridal low net — 1st Ruth Heppler 2nd (tie) LaWana Fronk Arlene Crowe Ann Price low putts — (tie) Alta Archibald Jan Christiansen First flight low gross — 1st My-rn- a Bangerter 2nd Margaret Wingate low net — 1st Mary Dell McFarland 2nd (tie) June O’B V rien Em West low putfs — (tie) Val Wright Rae Jenkins Second flight low gross — 1st Charlotte Lee 2nd Nancy Holt low net — 1st Darlene Hansen 2nd Sandy Dover low putts — Ethel Zundel Third flight low gross — 1st Melba Taylor 2nd Margrette Romer low net — 1st Lucille Foster 2nd Dorothy Call low putts — Louise Dunn Other “money’s worth” winners in Tuesday’s tourney were Janiece Bingham Jenny Forrest Donna Thredgold and Katie Fishburn think the governors believe in the Dallas-For- t Worth area and they can’t think of one negative thing to say about it” But Sonju said if there was anything that bothered NBA officials it was the popularity of collegiate and professional football “Possibly the fact that football is so big here would be of some concern to them” he said “I saw (Dallas Cowboys quarterback) Roger Stabach played tennis for charity the other night and it was on the front page of the sports section Sensational Sale Prices On Our Custom Polysteel Radial Buy Them By The Radial Winner — Double-Belte- d Set And Watch The Savings Add Up! LACK OF SUCCESS “I think that would be their biggest single point of concern I don’t think the lack of success of the previous team (in the ABA) will be a factor There have been a lot of false starts in the NBA” Dallas businessman Donald Carter who applied for a franchise earlier this year hired Sonju to negotiate with the NBA for a new club Sonju served as president of the Buffalo Braves and last summer tried to convince the club’s owner John Y Brown to move the team to Dallas “It was my firm opinion then to come to Dallas” said Sonju “because every study I did and every study I saw showed Dallas was the finest market available I plan to show those studies to the expansion committee” Earlier this month the Houston Rockets were sold for $10 million and Sonju feels it will cost more than that to buy a franchise for Dallas “This will be the most expensive franchise ever bought in the NBA” said Sonju who declined to speculate about the final purchase price “Mr Carter is a good businessman who has the money to pay whatever the cost might be But he is also a smart businessman and I don’t forsee any smart businessman paying more than what the franchise is worth “I know the people in Minnesota (who are bidding for a franchise as well) and they feel the same way There is not going to be a bidding war for this thing” The NBA has announced plans to expand by two teams for the 1980-8- 1 season and Sonju has urged the league to award those franchises at next week’s league meetings “A decision needs to be made now so we have a year to do things right” said Sonju “But I don’t want anybody to be discouraged if we don’t get it next week It could be in July or it could be in August “It’s not unusual for the governors to call a special session” wide Steel belts for strength grooves for wet traction Over 20 million Custom Potysteel Radiats have been sold for America's highway use already and there'll be more when this sale’s over get yours today!
