It's not true that the Boston
Red SoX outfield consists of
just the two glamour boys
rookie phenom Carl YastrZem-
ski in leftfield and the return
ing All-American boy, Jackie
Jensen, in rightfield. They've
got a pretty fair centerfielder,
too, in Gary Geiger even if
he is a virtual unknown by
comparison with his two
flankerS.
Throughout spring training
the trumpetS from the Red SoX
camp in Scottsdale, Ariz.,
blared away with the exploits
Of Yastrzemski, the 100000
bonus boy, and Jensen, who
grabbed off 100000 of New
York Yankee bonus money a
dozen years ago. Very little was
heard about Geiger, whom the
Red SoX got as a gift" in q
1858 winter trade with Cleve-
land that brought Vic Wertz
for Jimmy Piersall.
The Red Sox brass wasn't
even sure Geiger could play
at all. The 24-year-old native
Of Sand Ridge, III. had been
sidelined since last July % with
a collapsed lung. The lanky
lefthanded hitter gave ample
proof yesterday he's healthy
again by smashing a 400-foot
home run to spark the Red
SoX to a 80 victory over the
Los Angeles Angels.

Red Auerboch :. . RoundboIrs Winningest Genius
By FRANCIS STANN

ARNOLD (RED) AUERBACH didn't say
it first. Neutral appraisers beat him to
hailing the Boston CelticS Q960-61 model
as the greatest basketball team of all time.
Red simply puts in with them now.
"Tve got to agree" Red was saying
today during a visit to the home town.
They've done too much in the last five
years, and especially this last season"
Among other things the CelticS did
was to put an extra $3,34615 in Reds
pocket, this representing his share of the
clubs 13-way split Of the National Basket
ball Association title playoff melon. 1t was
the fourth time since 1857 the Celts went
all the way
This makes Auerbach a sort of Casey
Stengel in pro roundball. There is no other
coach in the all-winning class with the ex-
George Washington U. redhead The only
time his Celtics missed over the five-year
stretch was when Bill Russell, his fabulous
center, busted an ankle in the '58 playoffs.
Hes just the best basketball player
in the world right now," Red says flatly.
I'm not the only one claiming that for
Russell Everybody's on his bandwagon."
AUERBACH WAITED BEFORE pro-
claiming his preSent-day Celtics the great
est in history because, no matter how the
NBA officials feel, Red isn't always the
impetuous type. At least, that's what he
says.
when we won by an 11-game margin
and then knocked off ST. Louis in that
short playoff Give gameS), I knew these
fellows had to be the greatest" Auerbach
said. You know, it isn't easy to repeat
these days Not when the lowest teams
get the first draft choices"
The NBA, like the pro football leagues,
chooses from among graduating collegians
according to team standing. That's how
the Cincinnati Royals landed Oscar Rob-
ertson, the Los Angeles LakerS latChed on to
Elgin Baylor and Jerry West and the Phil
adelphia Warriors came up with Wilt
Chamberlain "The result is that no team
is weak, Red explains 1T used to be you
had one tough club to beat and the rest
were patsies.
There are no soft touches and yet
my guys won by the biggest margin ever
That's why go along with the idea they're
the greatest"
And how do the CelticS drawing last
these several years, keep replenishing their
roster? Luck mostly" Red says modestly
Like when we drafted Sam Jones. Who
ever heard of Sam Jones of North Carolina
College?"
UNTIL NOW RED THOUGHT the
greatest roundball team was the Minneap-
oils LakerS when George Mikan was in hi'
heyday Next came the old Washington
Caps" says Auerbach, who coached them
But the Celtics today are better thar
either of those at their best"

CHICAGO, April 18.-T The
biggest April snowfall in Chi
cago's recorded history has
dumped more idle time on the
Senators, who in the first nine
days of the season have been
able to work in only four
games.
Today's game, marking the
opening of the White SoX
home schedule, has been post
Iponed until tomorrow, as this
lakefront city thaws out from
a Six-inch snowfall that blew
in over the week end.
| Tomorrow was scheduled as
an off-day anyway, just in
case of a postponement, but
the Senators will be playing
after 48 hours of inactivity.
Two poStponements were nee
essary in Washington last week
and Minneapolis, where the
Senators open a three-game
series Friday, also has been
victimized by a winter reluc-
tant to give way to spring.
Could Have Practiced
. The Solacing factor for the
Senators is that other clubs
similarly are collecting rust.
That's right" Manager Mickey
Vernon says. we're no worse
off than the other teams. It's
too bad we didn't know today's
game was going to be called
off, though. We could've
stayed in Washington and
worked out yesterday"
IdleneSS supposedly affects
pitchers first and foremost.
But it hasn't affected ours
yet" Vernon says. Our pitch
ing has been very good. Oul
starters, Dick Donovan, Bennit
Daniels and Joe McClain, have
looked very good and the two
relief pitchers we've used sc
far. Dave Sisler and Rudy
Hernandez, looked great.

press choke on such expressions
as worst club ever" etc.
And Hobaugh is one Of the
young men the Senators are
banking on. A 26-year-old
righthander with a record of
uncanny control, Hobaugh was
a late starter in spring because
of a shoulder ailment.
But when he did move into
action, he wasted no time sew
ing up a berth as a starter. In
1898 innings of exhibition
pitching he gave up only eight
hits, three earned runs and
three walks. He struck out
nine.

Our Mail Box
Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
The American Indian Chicago
conference is one of the big news
items here at present. Much work
has already been done and the
major newspapers of Chicago
have been carrying many articles
on it. Among other things, it is
certain that the American Indian
Chicago Conference will be well
publicized and attended by ap.
proximately 1900 delegates.
The Blackfeet tribal members
residing here all seem to have
one question in common, who
will be here from our reserva-
ton representing us? ] have talk
ed to many of them and there are
hopes that we can arrange some
sort of conference of our own
with the tribal delegates. Prac-
tically all of the Blackfeet tribal
members take part in our Ameri-
can Indian Center activities,
therefore they can be located
through this agency.
The Chicago Conference, in
general, has brought about
great amount of interest and
caused various reactions of mis-
understanding, confusion, suspi-i
cion, optimism and others, but
no matter how big and important
this conference may sound its
sole purpose is to bring national
attention TO we the Indians and
let us be heard at that level
which will bring about the pub
lie understanding and hopefully,
public support for the Indian
cause. The overall effort of the
conference is simply a broader
attempt than has been made be-
fore to simulate Indian people
and a wider basis to express
themselves concerning their prob
lens and their hopes for the flu
ture.
The Blackfeet Tribe could do
well by sending a strong delega-
ton in their behalf and gaining
the sympathy and confidence of
the general public at a national
level. A strong public opinion
could help us in the process of
settling our claims, providing en-
ployment. better housing and all
in all, increase the general well
fare of the Blackfeet Tribe.
The entertainment agenda pro-
vides $500 in cash prizes for dane
ing, customs. etc. and there are
many beaches. parks. amusement
parks and museums. Also we
have the American Indian Cen
ter.
