Murphy passed to Elvin Hayes for a final 20 foot shot with three seconds left, as Larry Siegfried’s timeout set the play. Murphy said his rookie role was to follow orders and not be a hero.

Czech Tennis Player Comes Alive at Salisbury Open
The Czech player Vladimir Zednik, debuting in America, crushed Peter Curtis 7-6 6-2 in the U S National Indoor Open quarterfinals. He follows the oddly legendary Stanley Stanpinzak, a figure created years ago by Bill Riordan, who once warned of suspensions over his erratic behavior. Zednik, dubbed the Big C, fired six love games and 10 aces, showing a powerful serve and the ability to break rackets.
