VG. November 3, 1968 - San Diego Sports Arena. Program and Ticket Stub from early season match-up between the San Diego Rockets, showing off the #1 overall draft pick Elvin Hayes, against the Chicago Bulls. Elvin Hayes did not disappoint - in his 7th NBA game, he scored 30 points and pulled down 17 rebounds to lead the Rockets to a 121 - 107 victory. Pat Riley also kicked in 12 points for good measure. In addition to Hayes, several other interesting rookies made early appearances in their young NBA careers: Rick Adelman (game # 7), Tom Boerwinkle (game #10) and Stu Lantz (game #6).
