...Driesell, and his recruiting genius, Ravelling. Whether Driesell is a good technical coach is open to debate. His 176-65 record during 12 seasons at Davidson was well above average, but not in the same league with that of John Wooden, Adolph Rupp, Al McGuire or Butch Van Breda Kolff when he was at Princeton. It was been speculated that Ravelling recruits the horsepower. Lefty fills the house, and whatever happens from that point is purely coincidental. Still, it would seem that most colleges, if offered the glittering prospect of national prominence and perhaps the NCAA title, would jump...
...soon will artificial hearts-or even temporary assist devices to do the work of the main pumping chamber-become generally available? That is still problematical. The University of Utah's Dr. Willem J. Kolff, inventor of the artificial kidney and an early artificial heart researcher, complained in Los Angeles that cardiologists are reluctant to try the devices "because anything artificial is looked upon with suspicion." He predicted that physicians would revise their thinking when they realize that the familiar heart drugs, in which they put great confidence today, cannot save patients whom an artificial heart might keep alive...
...machines are highly effective, and the main obstacle to their wider use is cost, says the University of Utah's Dr. Willem Johan Kolff, who developed the artificial kidney and made the first crude model in his native Netherlands during the Nazi occupation. Kolff feels that "treatment should be done in the home, or in community centers, not in hospitals. Doctors should be left out of the picture almost entirely , they're too expensive. The doctor should only have to be brought in when there are complications...
Seeking a cheaper kidney machine, the inventive Kolff has used standard washing machines to slosh the outer bath, sausage casing for the blood coil, and 46-oz. fruit-juice cans as disposable blood-coil holders. Now he has devised a way to run the machines without a blood pump. Kolff's machines are in the $400 to $700 price range. Another excellent model, now being used at home by about 150 patients, was developed by the University of Maryland's Dr. William G. Esmond. It costs about $600, a far cry from the $7,000 price tag for some standard...
...Bill Russell and a patterned offense, Los Angeles is a run-and-shoot ball club whose offensive strategy consists simply of feeding the hot hand" of the moment. "Organized confusion,'' is the way Coach van Breda Kolft characterizes the Lakers' style of play. Van Breda Kolff contributes considerably to that himself. A sometime N.B.A. guard (with the New York Knickerbockers) and coach at Princeton during the Bill Bradley era, he is a study in perpetual motion during Lakers' games-stalking the sideline screaming at officials, drop-kicking paper cups fu11 of water into the crowd...
