What a difference a year
makes. Who would have thought
when the Carolina Cougars
were winning half their games
as a new team in the ABA that,
in a matter of months both Jim
Gardner and Bones McKinney
would be out of the driver’s
seat?
So much happened, and so
little of it help^ the Cougar
cause. Getting rid of popular
college stars from this area was
no smart move. Losing the
bonus battle over Pete
Maravich to Atlanta was a
severe blow.
Billy Cunningham’s decision
to remain at Philadelphia
brought further dismay to the
Cougar Camp. One of the
brighter stars in the NBA, the
Kangaroo Kid is a great
drawing card for the Quaker
City outfit.
It could be the courts will rule
that Cunningham must abide by
his agreement with the
Cougars. Even so, a disgruntled
pro athlete whose heart
elsewhere isn’t apt to be
asset to any ball club.

However, assuming that Billy
seriously intended to join the
Cougars after the current
season, no one can say it caused
him to drag his feet for the 76
outfit. He has put forth
maximum effort, and is having
another fine year.
Notwithstanding the
tremendous popularity of pro
grid games, it is hard to
visualize almost a third of the
nation’s inhabitants in the TV
audience for last Sunday’s
Super Bowl battle.
Sixty foiu" miUion people, the
estimated number of viewers, is
a throng that defies the
imagination. Of course not all of
those millions were enthusiastic
watchers. A whale of a lot of
wives were mad about the
whole business.
Nothing else on television has
caused more domestic
disturbances than the endless
parade of ball games. It
interferes with Saturday’s trips
to the supennarket, and rules
out the possibility of a pleasant
Sunday afternoon drive, or visit
with friends.
The straw that has really
broken the camel’s back this
year is the invasion of night
time TV on a regular basis.
Closed doors and drawn shades
hide many secrets. Could it be
that the battles In some homes
provide action as violent as
anything produced by the Colts
and the Cowboys last weekend.
