Old, new faces (AP) ? Old faces will be in new places, but the overall picture should be the same when the National Basketball Association opens its 37th season next weekend. Moses Malone, last season's Most Valuable Plaver, with Houston has moved to Philadelphia and signed a sixyear contract that could be worth $13 million. He and his new teammates on the 76ers play the Knicks in New York Friday. Artis Gilmore, a perennial all-star acquired by San Antonio from Chicago, will team with scoring champion George Gervin for the Spurs when they meet the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City Friday. Dave Lowens, wno lea Boston to two NBA titles before retiring two years ago, discovered he missed the competition and the money and is making a comeback with the Milwaukee Bucks. They open Saturday night against the Knicks. Bill Walton, the redhead with brittle feet, has played only a handful of games since leading Portland to the championship in 1977. He plans to play once a week for the San Diego Clippers until he can determine how his feet withstand urnit/in nca&va vuui^rciiuuu. irauuu id ca^cvicu iu be in uniform when the Clippers meet the Phoenix Suns Friday.

Financial problems are hanging over the NBA. Two-thirds of the 23 teams lost money last season, and some owners feel the big contract Malone signed with Philadelphia is a step down the wrong fiscal road. San Diego's Donald Sterling has his team up for sale. There are labor worries. The basic agreement between the owners and the NBA Players Association expired last June, and negotiations on a replacement are at a standstill. So far, no strike threats have been made by the union.

(AP) Kansas City Kings forward Kenny Dennard, always a battler on the basketball court, has a new fight on his hands after a recent operation for removal of a malignant tumor from his lower abdomen. t>ennard, a former Duke University player, said he first noticed the lump in September but said there was no pain and he didn't feel sick. However, he said he was concerned. He told the Kings management about his condition, and they sent him to a specialist. Dennard said he remembers well the specialist's words. 44 4Kenny,' he said to me, 4I am going to tell you the truth.

The study results show that revenue from cunege spurts programs increased irz percent since 1977, going from $373 million to $718 million in 1981. But NCAA member schools also spent at record levels. Sports costs hit $770 million in 1981, up 72 percent from $439 million in 1977. "On the expenditure side, the major inlay less i Fast...

"It's almost like you turned it off. At first, all you think about is that all the work you have done is gone. It was like someone else was standing there hearing this, and I was standing by his shoulder listening. It wasn't as though it was happening to me. "I didn't have time to get scared about the operation," Dennard said. "It came two days later (Oct. 1). If I had had to wait, it would have been much harder." Dennard is undergoing radiation treatment and isn't allowed to do any running or other exercise. He's restricted to watching television and reading. "It's driving me batty," he said. "It's a question of mind over matter." He said the surgery to remove the malignant tumor from his lower abdomen was a "minor setback" that could have been "devastating." reaking even financially creases have come from the cost of grants and the added funding of women's sports programs," said NCAA spokesman Eric Zemper. "A lot of the increase can be attributed to general inflation," he added, "particularly in the big Division I schools, which were hit hard by increased travel costs." The increased revenues come from bigger TV contracts, more alumni contributions and higher income from special events, he said. But the study shows college sports still depend on students who attend games in person.
