Simpson Still Asks $600,000 ST. CATHARINES, Ont. (AP) O.J. Simpson, reportedly seeking $600,000 plus fringe ben efits to play professionally for the American Football League Buffalo Bills, said Tuesday he was "holding out" for what he wants. "We (Chuck Barnes, his agent) and I set a price." he 1 told newsmen in this Canadian city, where he was to speak at a dinner later Tuesday. Simpson, Southern Califor nia's All-American and Heis man Trophy winner, and Bills' owner Ralph C. Wilson Jr. are scheduled to begin another round of contract talks late this "tteek. f As he has said before, Simp son commented that "if we can't get together it would lie the logical thing for him Wilson to trade me." Simpson has said repeatedly he would prefer to play in the National Football League and preferably on the West Coast, where he lives. He did not care about Buffalo, NY. he has said, because "it's cold and snowy there " Of a tongue-in-cheek sugges tion recently by Wilson that Wil-j son might pay Simpson $1 mil lion and let him pay the rest of | the team, Simpson said: "If that happens, well, we'll have a j low budget team."

"I'm not taking anything away from Eastern New Mexico, because their inside game was much better than ours. They had a good team." For Elizabeth City, the trip to KC was tough as well as long. The Vikings survived three nerve-wracking CIAA gamles and two District battles before advancing to the nationals, j "They let you play out there too," Vaughan guaranteed. "Now don't get me wrong. It's fair, but the rugged teams, the ones with the weight and the height, usually win over the ones with quickness." That happened this time, but 'some of the Vikings, like 6-5 Israel Oliver and 6-3 Mike O'Gale, made an impact that reverberated all the way back to North Carolina. A Viking with Spartan courage, Oliver finished the season with a 24.5 scoring average, 18.5 rebounding mark, and landed on the second All tournev team. "And O'Gale did everything," Draised Vaughan. "He averaged 22 points and 14 rebounds in the tournament, and made the first team." Loses Two Players But Vaughan's congratualtory remarks didn't end with those two. Leonard Carmichael, Roy Belfield, Bobby Lewis, and Hubert Moore were always there, too. Right there, gnawing at the opposition. "Carmichael led our press, was the key in it," continued the coach, whose team went 29-4 over the long haul. "Belfield, on ly 6-2, did a terrific job on the .boards. And Moore made the team quick.

II Ml 6 Black Cage Stars on Look All-America NEW YORK—Si* black col lege stars—including repeat se lections Lew Akindor of UCLA and Calvin Murphy of Niagara —were named this week to the Look All America basket ball team. The 10-man squad, chosen by the United States Basketball Writers Association, is an nounced in the current issue of Look Magazine. Other Mack players chosen are: Jim McMillian, Columbia; Charlie Scott, North Carolina; Mike Maloy, Davidson and Spencer Haywood, Detroit. The balance of the team is comprised of Rick Mount, Pur due; Dan Issel, Kentucky; Pete Maravich, LSU and Bud Ogden, Santa Clara. Alcindor and Ogden are the only seniors on the squad. Olympic star Haywood is the lone sophomore. The rest of the members are juniors. A three-time selection for All America honors, Alcindor is still the great intimidator, says Look. A mild man for such a large person, Alcindor gives the impression of not going ill out through a game sometimes, but he can turn it on when it counts. Murphy, the diminutive, rap> id-fire shooter, won acclaim de spite the fact that his team did not post a good record. The selectors were impressed with his speed, dexterity and scor ing power. Versatility was a main con sideration in the selection of Scott. Charlie can drive, re bound, pass off and play all corners of the court as a for ward or guard. Physical strength, if nothing else, won attention for McMil lian. Jim often outre bounded men much taller than himself in addition to being Columbia's leading scory. Maloy, a V*T' 200 pounder with pro credentials, has a reach of B*9" and blacksmith's arms. He is also speedy enough to block a shot, recover the ball, pass it off and race down the floor on a fast break. Haywood, who was the lead ing scorer and rebounder oc the U.S. Olympic Team, had ac international reputation be fore he played his first college game. According to his coach at Detroit, the Titans lost some early season games became Haywood was too quick for members of his own team. The All America selections were made by the USBWA's 9- man awards committee repre senting the eight NCAA dis tricts. Each of the All Americas will receive a Linde Stars for the Stars ring in honor of hi* achievement.
