Auerboch: You've Got
To Be Lucky and Good
BY FRANCIS STANN

this. He'd been big star at San Francisco
University. Not a high-scoring star, but
just great at defense. decided to trade
two Of my good players, Ed Macauley and
Cliff Hagan, to the team with the No. /
pick that year. I figured Russell would
be the No. but he wasn't.
"sT. LOUIS WOUND UP with Russell
and so Macauley and Hagan went there
in the trade. use the word trade
because all we actually acquired was the
right to dicker with Russell For a while
1t was touch and CO.
Russell didn't want to turn pro- at
least right away, because he was on the
Olympic team. Speaking of Olympics,
think he could have made the United
States team as a trackman Can you
imagine a guy feet, 10 inches tall, and
weighing 220 pounds, running the 440,
high jumping good enough to tie Charlie
Dumas, and broad-jumping % feet 7
inchesP Russell did all that in college"
When the Celtics finally signed Russell
he came high-$240OO for a rookie. Now
he is paid close to $4,000.
HE was and is worth every penny"
Auerbach said. I'VE didn't win until we
got Russell. We haven't lost since we got
him"
''Twenty-four grand, plus Macauley
and Hagan, was a tremendous price for
kid just out of college," it was suggested.
II got tired of coaching team that
was playing without the ball." Red replied
abruptly.
THE MOST FAMOUS and best-known
coach in pro basketball history credits four
men with revolutionizing the game and
two are Celtics.
Hank LuiSetti introduced the one
hand shot, Red checked Off George
Mikan developed the pivot play. Cousy is
the complete player, SHOEMAKER, play
maker, magician. Most of all, perhaps, he
brought confidence to the little man.
(Cousy is a mere 6-1 weighs 1907 So
called small men say, That could be me-
Finally, there's Russell to prove that
defense is an integral part of basketball.
Nobody ever bothered to block shots until
Russell came along. Now you watch kids
on the Fairgrounds and they're blocking
shots and concentrating on rebounds"
Anyway, this is the week the once-a-
year, armchair buffS figure to move en-
masSe to see live roundball, NBA-style.
"If it's full house I won't be surprised"
Auerbach was saying, although knowing
only too we'll that Washington normally
is tepid, at best, as far as basketball is
concerned.
This is a one-shot deal and, besides,
Cousy is retiring to coach Boston College
next year" Red pointed out.
"Meaning?"
Meaning it's like knowing Babe Ruth
is taking his last time at bat," he said.
who around there is ever going to see
the likes Of Cousy again?"

NlM LOSE OR DRAW

ONLY ONE OTHER MAJOR sports
team in history ever won five world
championships in six years, and that
wasn't in basketball. The Yankees, natur
ally Once under Joe Mccarthy and once
under Casey stengel, who won five straight.
But in big-time roundball, Arnold (Red)
Auerbach and his Boston Celtics stand
alone.
They are going now for their sixth
title in seven years this season, one night
of which will be played at the University
OF Maryland's plush field house on
Thursday, The Cincinnati Royals will be
in the opposite corner and it counts in
the NBA race.
You've got to be lucky and you've got
to be good" Auerbach was telling us yes
terday on the telephone We've been both.
We're lucky to have Cousy, lucky to have
Russell"
"Tell us" he was invited, "how lucky"
'Well," Auerbach began, "lets take
Bob Cousy who has got to be the most
gifted basketball player of all time. The
things he can do with the ball. :"
SO
AUERBACH HAD BECOME coach of
the last-place Celtics in 1949. They had
first choice in the college draft but,
although Cousy had been fabulous per-
former at Holy Cross, he wasn't Reds
choice. When Boston sportswriters COM
planned to Owner Walter Brown the red
head snapped, I'm trying to build
winner. I can't take care of the local
yokels." That's our boy Auerbach.
Red selected Charley Share of Bowling
Green, who stood 6 feet, II inches. Cousy
was drafted by Tri-Cities but never wore
the uniform. He was traded TO the Chicago
Stays, who folded before he wore that
uniform, either.
"They held meeting to distribute the
Stays players" Auerbach was saying.
Finally, Cousy, Andy Phillip and Max
zaslofsky were left, one to go to the
Celtics, one to the Warriors, one to the
Knickerbockers. Frankly, I wanted
Zaslofsky. Next, Phillip l wound up with
Cousy. I ask you, how lucky can you get?"
To err is human; to be lucky is sub
lime. Auerbach would be the first to
agree.
"AND HOW ABOUT Bill Russeu?"
Red was asked. This is a question not SO
embarrassing to Auerbach because he had
wanted Russell all along.
WED had pretty good teams ever
since 1884," Red began. WED lead the
league in scoring, but also in being scored
on. So, we never won championship until
1856, which is when we got Russell.
We've won every Eastern title since,
and lost just one NBA championship,
which was to St. Louis in 1858. I might
remind you that in the playoffs that
year Russell sprained an ankle, wasn't
up to par in the series, and missed two
games altogether.
But about getting Bill, it was like

'63 Contracts
Signed by Z;

BY the Associated Press

Major league clubs reported
receiving signed contracts from
at least IL more players yes
terday including IL pitchers.
Roy Face, Pittsburgh's tire
less little relief hurler, and Bob
Buhl of the Cubs were the
principal names disclosed. The
Orioles came to terms with
righthanders Dick Hall and
Wes Stock and southpaw Pete
Burnside.
The Minnesota Twins signed
five players, including a vet
eran pitcher and three young
hurlers. They also got q youth
ful first baseman into the fold.
That gave the Twins % of SO
players under contract.
Frank Sullivan was the vet
eran pitcher to sign with the
Twins. The more youthful
pitchers were Jim Manning,
Jim Roland and Dick Taafe.
The first baseman was Bob
Reese. Both Taafe and Reese
were selected by the Twins in
the draft.
The New York Nets reported
seven settlements, including

Ray Daviault and Catcher
Sammy Taylor. The Nets also
signed Tom Belcher, a right
handed bonus pitcher from the
University of Texas; Lefthand-
ers Steve Dillon and Grover
Powell and Shortstop Bruce
Fitzpatrick.
Face worked 81 innings in
81 games last season and COM
piled a 1888 earned run aver
age, second best in the Nation

Of the Cubs 80 players still to

Burnside, acquired in a win

!. Bid to Standardize
Golf Rules Stalled

NEW YORK, Jan. 26 (AP)
NO ground has been gained
in efforts to get the touring
professionals to follow the uni
form set Of golf rules, the
chairman of the United States
Golf Associations rules COM
mittee said today.
1.-The whole world plays by
one code and the pros play
by another" William Ward
Foshay of New York told the
annual meeting Of the USGA.
.Foshay said that in order to
avoid confusion his committee
had sought to get the Profess
sional Golfers Association to
discard its various deviations
from the code adopted by the
USGA and the Royal and An
cient Club of st. Andrews. rul-
ing body of golf in Britain.
1.-The situation now seems
more dismal than ever" Foshay
said after discussing details of
his talks with the professional
group.
Conflicting Codes
Foshay said the foolishness
ol the situation was accented
in the Bing Crosby tourna-
ment recently when Arnold
Palmer. the worlds top pro-
fessional golfer, was disquali-
fled because he played a pro-
visional ball which would have
been permissible under USGA
rules but which was forbidden
under the code Of the touring
pros.
The USGA holds that It is
permissible to play a provision
al ball when a shot is out OF
bounds, lost, IN water hazard
or unplayable. The PGA rules
don't permit play of a pro-
visional ball in the latter two
instances, Palmer's ball was un-
playable.
Another important differnce
In rules is that the pros call
a, 2-stroke penalty If the flag
stick is hit by a shot within
go feet of the pin, The USGA
makes II a matter Of the play
er's choice without penalty
whether the flagstick is left or
removed from the mole.
Representatives OF the USGA
will meet with Royal and An
cient officials at Turnberry,
Scotland, May 1919 for a re-
view Of the playing code.

TO explore the deviations. and
they are especially interested
