Meet The Club That Supports the Baltimore Bullets
The Friends and Boosters Club of the Baltimore Bullets is a small voluntary group at the new Civic Center. Membership seldom exceeds 4,000 on game nights, stirring concern from Baltimore Basketball Inc. The Bullets, while promising, rely on fan support at the gate to avoid fading like other teams. Coach Bob Leonard leads a squad with rookies Gus Johnson and Rod Thorn contributing, as Walter Bellamy and Terry Dischinger pace scoring, with the team holding a 14-28 record in the Western Division.
