Additionally, signed by Walt Hazzard (D. 2011, who was in his senior year at UCLA and would be the first pick by the Lakers in the draft) and USA track and field gold medalist Ralph Boston.
The roster page has been pulled from the program, but can be neatly reattached if one so desired.
The program is signed by: Ernie Vandeweghe (D. 2014) who may have been on the broadcast team for the game, Johnny Green, Walt Bellamy (D. 2013), Guy Rodgers (D. 2001) tough HOF autograph, Oscar Robertson, Fred Schaus (D. 2010, coach of the West team).
