Larry Mickey received a late NHL season call up for the New York Rangers after playing right wing for Minnesota of the Central Hockey League. Willis Reed, Knicks star forward, underwent a successful operation to remove a bone spur from his right instep. The Knicks offered a one year deal totaling 210000 dollars, up from prior offers to Koufax and Drysdale, which the players rejected as insufficient. The Gold Nugget Twins remained holdouts, with agent Bavasi saying the team may end negotiations. Dodgers pitchers Sandy and Don Drysdale signed to feature roles in an upcoming film. Alston expressed disappointment at the holdouts.
