18 (AP) and he promised me everything ffi the Patriots a week ago and Lemm succeeded Lou Rym-kus of the Houston Oilers Sunday. Which brings to mind that both ousted coaches were Lou-sers. In the case of Holovak and Lemm, there was a close friendship and the oft-voiced desire to work together. Now they are rivals. The friendship began in 1943, when they were attending midshipmen's school at Notre Dame, the first step Rookie of Year was all right.

But everything was not all right according to Sam Jones and Bill Russell. The Negro players on the Celts and Hawks were permitted to register at the hotel with the rest of the players. Tom McNeeley says he doesn't care who referees his title fight with heavyweight champion ship Celtics could also play basketball. The play-making genius of teams that have won four world's basketball titles in the past five seasons has a pesty calcium spur on the elbow of his throwing arm (right).

Lemm came to Natick to be an usher at Mike's wedding to Edith Casavant.

They talked football often, about pro football and then coaching. Each said, "If I ever become a head coach, I want you as my first assistant." They met again upon their return from the Pacific, this time at the PT-boat base in Melville, R.I. Mike was player-coach of the football team and Lemm played tackle. Then World War II ended. The next development came when Holovak was named head coach at Boston College.

He tried to get Wally as his right-bower, but various things prevented the move. The next event was Oct. 11, when Mike was moved up to head coach of the Patriots. Shortly after midnight there was a phone call. Wally phoned his congratulations, delighted for Holovak's sake.

Mike asked if Lemm would be available next season if everything went all right. "Don't talk to me now," was the reply. "Let's wait until the end of the season." They don't have to wait. The Houston situation broke wide open two days later and then Lemm was a head man, too. Unusual off-season job ends this week for Dick Kelley of Brighton, a young pitcher who has been promoted by the Milwaukee Braves.

Kelley had a 15 and 5 season with Cedar Rapids and reports at the Bravts' rookie clinic at Bradenton a week from today. Oh yes, the unusual job. Dick models clothes in one of the downtown department stores. Bill Mokray apparently is the big man of basketball publications, with three of his products available by the end of the week. One is the Converse book.

The second is a paperback, "Basketball Stars of 1962" and the third, due the end of the week, is the official pro basketball guide, including this year's rules.
