Minnesota is coached by Dave

break and short pass type of play
that he learned with the original
New York Celtic5 many years ago.
His charges do not shoot frequent
ly from a distance, however, but
the New York quints found them
Just as dangerous on the outside
as under the basket.
Gordon Spear, reserve center,
who was inserted into the Long
Island game late in the fracas,
sent in three straight long shots
from near the center of the floor
without touching the cords. At
one stage of the game, the
Gophers scored four times from
the floor in less than a minute,
an accurate indication Of their
scoring ability.
NEW YORK, Dec. 80 GN.SJ.

With Art Stoefen scoring 20
