With previous major them to negotiate fine contracts for this season," he said.

'The coach asked bis players a training camp last month before a ball was bounced: "Are you all happy? Did you "negotiate the best deal you could possibly get? Are you ready to concentrate on basketball? They all nodded assent." As for Chamberlain's long holdout, which ended a week By RALPH BERNSTEIN PHILADELPHIA (AP)-How do the rest of the Philadelphia 76ers react to wilt Chamberlain and his reported $250,000 salary? Like a rich relative who just died and left him then- fortune. More power to him is the way the other players view Chamberlain's astronomical pay. We're glad he's playing for us is the general feeling. Coach Alex Hannum wasted little time acquainting his Na tional Basketball Association champions with the facts of life after Chamberlain signed for the big money. Hannum noted that since Chamberlain has been in the league, he has raised the sal ary tor ail players, every player on this team should be thankful for the salary wilt is getting," Hannum said lues-day.

Houston began the 1967 season with a coaching staff of Jim Busby, Nelson Fox, Al Hesit and Jones who all were given their releases.

SALTY PARKER every scoring thrust. Coach Bink Spigner's victorious eleven now have a season record of seven wins against no losses and have scored 201 points to their opponents 8.

Probably the best AA record in the state. New Boston takes on Atlanta this week and needs to win if they seriously challenge the Leopards. This is the ftJture contest of the week. DeKalb and Hooks meet each other in a contest that has no meaning in the district race, an unusual situatio since the winner of this game in the past few years has' usually won the district championship.

Liherty-Eylau Is Favored for Crown before the season ended and en abled him to play in part of only one exhibition game, Hannum said: "I would rather have Wilt report a month late and satisfied he had made the best deal he could on his contract, then have him dissatisfied.

This way he has nothing on his but basketball." Hannum, who could qualify as the frankest speaking coach in any sport, makes no bones but that he recognizes Chamberlain as a special person with special talents. "Special people have to be treated the coach asserts. Hannum tells his players not to worry whether Chamberlain misses a practice or gets some special consideration. "The only concern should be that Wilt does his job on the floor," he says. The 76ers to a man; have accepted this philosophy.

Chamberlain plays an unselfish brand of basketball. He controls the ball and lets his team do the scoring. The 7 foot, 1 center attacks the baskets when game strategy, dictates that he. score. TEAM TO BEAT Philadelphia already, is 2-0 in the East, and appears -to be the team to beat.

In fact, with, the added experience of last year's rookies, Matt Guokas and Billy Uelchionni they're stronger, deeper on the bench; The start ing team of Hal Greer, Wally Jones, Chamberlain, Chet Wal ker and Luke Jackson, with Billy Cunningham and Larry Costello as first line subs, could be the greatest team in pro basketball history. If the opposition is looking for dissension brought about by Chamberlain huge salary. they re in for a disappointment, Once that ball is tapped, the 76ers are a TEAM. Gale Savers Absence Is Investigated NEW YORK (AP) Pro foot-ball Commissioner Pete Rozelle is checking all aspects of the situation involving the failure of injured Gale Sayers to play for the Chicago Bears Sunday at Cleveland. Sayers suffered a pulled' leg muscle in the Baltimore game Oct.

8 but played Oct. 15 against Detroit and gained 142 yards. The weekly National Football League injury report mailed last Wednesday morning, did not repeat the Sayers' injury report because he had played the preceding Sunday. However, Sayers apparently re-injured the leg in a workout Wednesday or Thursday. Cleveland newspapers Saturday carried stories that Sayers was injured but expected to play.

Coach George Halas said the team doctor concurred. According to Halas, the halfback pulled the muscle again in pre-game drills Sunday and did not play. "I am familiarizing myself with all aspects of the situation," said Rozelle Tuesday. "If I think- any comment is necessary, after I have obtained all the facts, I will comment." IMCA Races In auto racing circles, they; say, "It's the last lap that counts, and that is the story for the 1967 new car racing season as the drivers of the IMCA look to the final two days of stock car racing this Saturday and Sunday afternoons at the Louisiana State Fair. The Keokuk Komets, Ernie Derr and Ramo Stott, are still 1-2 in national, point standings with Derr almost assured of an 8th national championship, Stott won last Saturday afternoon's feature race while Derr copped the Sunday feature.

Derr got an assist from Lady Seattle Is Still SEATTLE, Wash. (AP) Pacific Northwest Sports, Tuesday bought the Seattle gels of the Pacific Coast League to aid the firm quest tor a big-. league baseball expansion team here. I Pacific a Seattle group headed by attorney Max Soriano, purchased the team ifrom the California Angels for ran undisclosed price. Soriano's brother, Dewey, is president of the Pacific Coast League.

Soriano and his group recent- i ly applied for an American League franchise to operate in Seattle beginning in 1969. E. J. Bavasi, general man-. ager of the Los Ageles Dodgers, has said he also will bid for the major league franchise here.

Another highlight of Sunday afternoon's race was the fact that Derr spun out in the 4th turn to lose the lead he held at that time. Seven time national champion Ernie Derr does not often spin a car out, but he did last Sunday and almost lost the race. Shreveport area racing fans were treated to a comeback try by Shreveporter Ralph Dyer.

Wesley Suffers Sprained Ankle CINCINN ATI I AP The Cincinnati Royals announced Tuesday that pivotman Walt Wesley suffered a severely sprained right ankle in Sunday night's National Basketball As sociation game against the Seat tle Supersonics and will be out of action for about two weeks. Word received here was the doctors have put a soft cast on the ankle. Wesley injured his ankle when he twisted it as he came down after going for a rebound. Wesley and veteran Connie Dierking.

have been sharing the pivot position tor the Royals. Ralph did well in a car that he had never tried out before, 2nd car owned by Derr, and finished 4th in the Sunday 100 lap race. This machine carried about 200 horsepower more than the cars that Dyer drove so successfully in the early 50's. The Shreveporter commented that he learned how to handle the car and will be a front runner in the events of this coming Saturday and Sunday at the Louisiana State Fair speedway. Several of the IMCA front runners had duficuities last Sunday.

Ole Brua of Minnesota had his Ford in an almost certain 3rd place finish when he lost a wheel in the 4th turn. Lewis Taylor of Kansas was cruising to what looked like a possible 2nd spot when he spun out in the first turn, Lenny Funk of Kansas, taking his first ride in Ramo Sotts 2nd car, hit the fence when the throttle stuck wide open going into turn three. Funk was attempting to pass into 2nd place at the time of the accident. AU cars from last Saturday and Sunday races are repaired and ready for action at the Louisiana State Fair speedway this Saturday and Sunday after noon. The two days of racing afford the IMCA drivers their last chance at 1967 new car racing prize money, there is no tomor row.

After Sunday's race they will be retooling and building new cars for next year's racing season. Races at the Louisiana State Fair will start at 2 o'clock Saturday and Sunday. him they are a great team. "This team," said Hannum. "was the Syracuse Nats a few years ago.

It was a .500 ball club. Then the team was sold to Philadelphia interests. It still was a .500 club; When Cham berlain was traded to the 76ers in mid-season, it finished at .500, but came within a pounce of knocking the Celtics out of the Eastern playoffs. "The next season, with Wilt all the way, the 76ers won the Eastern Division title, but lost in the playoffs. Then last season, with the natural maturing of the relationship among the players they turned in a fantastic record (68-13) and won the NBA championship.

Hannum said his players know that without Chamberlain, this wouldn't have been possi ble. "Wilt put playoff money in their pockets, set the stage for the first team against Notre Dame. Two were on the second team. Daugherty confirmed the suspensions, but refused to say how long the players would be barred from playing, indicating it depended on. individual am tudes.

i Michigan State already had been hard hit by injuries in the Minnesota game. Quarterback Jimmy Rave, top end Al Bren ner and. first string guard Tony Conti were listed as doubtful starters. Daugherty refused to name the players dropped, saying he had promised team members he would not release the names. The suspension of six regulars was bound to make Notre Dame even more of a.

top-heavy favor ite in the televised game against the Irish at South Bend. The two teams played to a 10-all tie last fall in a game billed as for the national title but some lustre was taken from the rematch as both had been dumped for upset losses earlier this season. The Michigan State News, the college newspaper, listed four of the players in a copyrighted story. Names of the other two were not disclosed. The four are Joe Przybycki, senior offensive left tackle from Detroit; Don Law, sophomore defensive left tackle from Brownsville, Sterling Armstrong, senior defensive left half from Detroit; and Ken Little, sophomore defensive tackle from Youngstown, Ohio.

Daugherty closed His prac tices to all newsmen this week. The suspension was seen as the reason. He told newsmen of the closed practices Monday without giving a reason but saying "You will know why later." Daugherty said he had disci plined players before and pre viously had refused to release the names the best interests of the team and the future of the MSU football family." Huarte Placed On Waivers BOSTON (AP) The Boston Patriots placed quarterback John Huarte, a former Heisman Trophy winner, on waivers Tuesday. The Patroits obtained Huarte from the New York Jets at the close of the 1965 American Foot ball League season in a deal for John Colcough and a draft choice. The Patriots later got Colcough back.

Huarte reportedly signed with the Jets in 1965 for an estimated $200,000. The former Notre Dame star saw little action with the Patriots during the past two seasons. He completed eight passes in 20 tries and ran the ball nine times for a total of .45 The Patriots obtained Con Trull, another quarterback, last week from the Houston Oilers.
