The second annual "One l ap." which took pliice this past March, airs Sunday. May 12 as a one-hour ' SpurtsWorld" special on NBC It is an offyhoot ot the infamous "Cannonball Bakoi Sea-to-Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash" of the 1970s, since glorified in Burt .Reynolds' "Cannon- ball Run" movies But Jim Millman. president of Millsp.'rt and producer of the program, is quick to point out the differences between the two competi­ tions. ' This is not a racej' he says, "it's a time-distance rally The competitors will average approximately 52 miles per hour over the course of the event, and they will follow a specific route with designated checkpoints." Fwhtv vehicles, including a Roll:-Royce driven by "Benihana" boss Rocky Brock Y«IH Aoki, started this year's "One Lap " Millsport used two cam­ era crews to capture the swashbuckling style ot the event One crew -- the team of Paul Page and John Harrison -- was an unofficial participant, vyhile the other team hop- scotched the course, look­ ing tor interesting moments to film. "In terms of producing." says Bob Basche of Millsport. "this was one of the most intriguing under­ takings ever, because the participants were spread out alt over Ihe country." Unlike its predecessor, the "One Lap" is a legal event Uniroyal is its spon­ sor. and many local police departments cooperated. "It's quite a navigational challenge." adds Millman.

And with everything I've done. I've learned a little about myself." On Sunday. May 12. and Monday. May 13. on ABC. Miss Ladd co-stars with Sam Elliott and Alexis Smith in "A Death in California." Miss ladd" plays Hope Masters, a young Beverly Hills Sfecialite who agrees to her boyfriend s request that a "newspaper reporter." D. Jordan Williams (played by Elliott), spend the weekend with them at her mother's ranch. The weekend turns into a nightmare of rape and murder. Desperate to save hpr family. Miss Masters appeals to the tender and protective side of Williams and begins to feel a deep sense of gratitude toward the cold­ blooded killer. "The depth of Sam Elliott's character is so amazing, and he plays the character so well." Miss Ladd says of her co-star. "I had wanted lo work with him before, and this movie was a terrific opportunity to do so." The most physically exhausting aspect of her role was psyching herself for ihe rape sequence. "We shot one whole continuous movement from beginning to end. I just let it happen, and it was pretty terrifying." Miss Masters' agony becomes more excrucialing when she is arrested for the murder of h£r boyfriend, and Wil­ liams -- a man she has sworn to protect -- is named her co-defendant. Their strange love/hate relationship leads to one of the most bizarre trials in the annals of crime. Meeting her real-life counterpart helped Miss Ladd make her role more believable. "I met Hope Masters near the end ot filming. Having mel her. I'm pretly sure I cap­ tured the essence ot how she dealt with the situation." vC IMS ComptHog v The BOX SEAT The big draw for Patrick Ewing (T'lMSCompvWe By Adam Becker man On Sunday. May 12. Patrick Ewing learns which basket case he will be expected to transform. The humble seven who missed out on the playoffs -- the Atlanta Hawks. Golden State Warriors. Indiana Pacers. Kansas City-Sacramento Kings. Los Angeles Clippers. New York Kmcks and Seattle Supersonics -- will each present NBA Commission­ er David Stern a card with their respective logo The cards will be sealed in iden­ tical envelopes, dropped into a barrel and then cho­ sen one at a time. The team whose envelope is picked first wins the rights to Mr. Franchise. CBS will televise the lottery live from New York. Until this year, the two worst teams in each con­ ference flipped a coin to determine who would receive the first pick in the draft. And during the last 16 years, one man has dominated this event. He is Ray Patterson, president and general manager ot the Houston Rockets, the only GM to take two different MBA franchises to the Championship round. He is also the only man to have had the rights to tour differ­ ent first picks. In 1968. Patterson's expansion team, the Milwaukee Bucks, finished the season with a 27-55 record The Bucks flipped a com with the Phoenix Suns for the rights to draft Lew Alcindor. "It was conducted over the phone," recalls Patter­ son of the^'low-key proceedings. "Their GM. John Erickson. called heads. It came out tails. I figured we'd be champions within three years." And it came to pass that with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at center and Oscar Robert­ son running the show, thef Bucks swept the Baltimore Builets for the 1970-71 NBA title. In 1983. two years after Moses Malone had led the Houston Rockets to the finals against Boston and one year after leaving for Philiy, Patterson's Rockets finisned 14-68. They flipped against the Indiana Pacers. This time, "our Chairman of the Board called heads." Heads it was. and Ralph' Sampson was a Rocket. But a year later the Rockets were still the worst m the West So last spring they Hipped with the Port­ land Traii Blazers for 4he rights to Akeem Olajuwon The Blazers had obtained their position from the Cleveland Cavaliers, who had won a furious battle with the Indiana Pacers for the worst record in Ihe East. But now the coin flip is gone and a lottery is in place. As for the Blazers, they chose wrong and Patterson became The architect of the Twin Towers. "Stay around long enough." he advises the Ewing 7." and you're bound to win." <C. IMS Compulog R; "i further
