CELTICS CHOICE
TO TAKE SERIES

BOSTON. Mar. 16 (AP).-
Boston, the defending cham
pion. and Philadelphia tonight
open a beSt-four-of-seven series
for a spot in the finals of the
National Basketball Associa-
ton playoffS.
The winner goes against the
victor in the Western Division
st. Louis Minneapolis series
for the NBA title.
Boston by virtue Of its SUI
perior season record, good
health and the advantage of
a home court tonight, rated
as favorite both for the open
ing game and the series.
After tonight's game, the
scene shifts to Philadelphia
Friday night, back to Boston
Saturday afternoon for a ma
tionally televised struggle, then
back to Philadelphia again.

ST. LOUIS, Mar. Is (AP).
Owner Ben Kerner makes it
clear he doesn't expect his st.
Louis Hawks to stumble again
in the pro basketball playoffs
and an injury to veteran
Slater (Dugie) Martin wouldn't
serve as an excuse.
This is our greatest club. +"
Kerner said today. "Our bench
is much stronger than last year
and so Is the backline. Even
the front line is better.
Their mental attitude fac
ing Minneapolis is far better
than last year. Dugie is a great
player. but we should beat the
LakerS without him"
Martin. a 34-year-old vet
eran Of many National Basket
ball Association playoffs. will
be ready for spot duty at best
in the opener Of the best-of-
seven Western final series with
Minneapolis tonight. Martin re-
injured his right leg-a pulled
muscle-on March 6 and the
leg is still stiff.
Dugie was injured in the first
game Of the Western playoffs
last season and the Lakers won
the series in six games. Led by
amazing Elgin Baylor, a 29.6
scorer who is $40 against the
Hawks, the Lakers are primed
for another upset. The Min
neapolis backline, ex-Hawk
Frank Selvy in particular, was
at its peak as the Lakers
whipped Detroit two straight.
But Kerner points out that
Sihugo Green has come like
gangbusters" in the last part
of the season, with aggressive
lay and sharp passing. The
other backline starter. John
Mccarthy, wasn't with the
club last season and Green still
was trying to find himself.
Clyde Lovellette is having a
great year with a 20.8 average"
Ben said. Last year he wasn't
a starter-he was coming in
for Charlie Share.
Cliff Hagan had his great
est year (24.8 average) and Bob
Petit is still Petit. although
his average slipped three points
to POL" Kerner went on. II
look for Bob to be great in the
playoffs.
