"But I took him to a game and after a quarter the kid looked at me and said, Russell is worth what yo'u pay So there's peace." Waldron claims he barely stays awake late enough for the news, but heard all the show on the road in the West. He rolled, pitched, stayed awake for an hour-and-a-half after the game. "Darn," he said. "I'm all fouled up.

But this is some team we have." Of the Red Sox who trained in Florida in 1958, not a single one remains. Frank Malzone RED SOX Page 38 By FRANCIS ROSA Northeastern's basketball team played a tired game Wednesday but good enough to jump into the Beanpot Hoop final for the fourth straight year. The Huskies defeated Boston University, 75 to 57, and next week? That's something else again. This is how the first week of March will go for the Northeastern Huskies: They will finish February by playing Boston College in the Beanpot final. That's next Monday night.

Then, on Tuesday, they play Springfield in the N.C.A.A. College Division Regional Playoffs. If they win that game they play the winner of the Assumption game on Tuesday, Mar. 2. If they win that one they'll play the winner of the New York Regional on Mar.

5 game, against the winner of the New York Regional. The Huskies, of course, were pretty happy to get into the Beanpot finals and get to play Boston College next Monday. The Eagles defeated Tufts, 99 to 66, Wednesday night at B.U.'s gym. But the Huskies were not thinking too much about B.C. They were thinking of Springfield.

"This is the team we all wanted," said sophomore star Harry Barnes, "We wanted Springfield or Assumption in the tournament because both beat us this season. This way we may get both of them." "All together," said coach Dick Dukeshire, "We can play as many as seven games in 10 days. That's asking a great deal of any team." While Huskies were defeating B.U. under the watchful eyes of coach Eddie Steitz of Springfield, the announcement was being made of the pairings for the New England Regional playoffs, which will be held at Springfield, Mar. 1-2.

And after Northeastern had won, Athletic Director Herb Gallagher had started the wheels in motion to move the New England Playoffs back one day to Mar. 2-3. He'll wire the N.C.A.A. asking for the change on the grounds that the Beanpot is an established tournament and it would impose undue hardship on Northeastern to play three games in three nights. The pairings announced this afternoon are: Mar.

1, 7:00 p.m. A.I.C. we think we can beat them. I don't know how playing on three consecutive nights will affect us, but it won't be a picnic." Someone suggested to Dukeshire that Northeastern use a zone against B.C. next Monday, "So your players can coast a little on defense." Said Dukeshire, "We've never gone into a game not wanting to win and if you play in the Nationals you have to play three consecutive nights anyway." Then coach John Burke, of B.U., came into the dressing room and said to the Northeastern players, "Don't think about the tournament." N.U.

Page 37 'W Tn lf B's Murphy Would Like to Return If By will Mcdonough Ron Murphy retired from the Bruins Wednesday "for strictly personal reasons." Murphy then told The Globe that if things could be worked out "I'd like to come back and play for Boston next year. "This had nothing to do with Milt or Mr. Emms. And they have a fine bunch of fellas on the Boston team." Murphy was asked what triggered the decision. "It was a lot of little things all at once.

I have some investments that need immediate attention and my wife isn't feeling well either. "Then we would have had to move the family to Boston and take the children out of school again." "Tuesday I went to Montreal and joined the club again with these things all on my mind. I talked to my wife again that night by phone and we agreed it might be best if I retire at this time. "I told her I'd tell the Bruins of my decision the next day and she said okay." Murphy said he would leave shortly for Windsor, where he has some business ventures that need immediate attention. "After that I'm going to try to get everything cleared away in my mind and think this whole thing out properly.

"Right now I'm under suspension but I feel like I want to play some more hockey later on. If I still feel that way in a few months I hope to contact Boston and see about next year." He says he's learned something of the picks, and the matching of players, and all this defense in pro ball. "I could stand a few more lessons in how it's played," he said. "But I'm watching more than the ball." The playoffs are. only a few short weeks away and the new boss of the team will be unlike the late Walter Brown, who always got himself into such a stew during them.

Walter shut himself from everything when the team was away in the playoffs all those years. Occasionally he made a trip, and will always be remembered for the way he faced the cameras out in Los Angeles and tore the gizzards out of the whistle blowers. But usually Walter bade his team goodbye, said he was a jinx, prayed for them and stayed home. This will not be Waldron's approach. He may be found selling tickets at the gate if Auerbach wants it that way in the playoffs.

He's starting to throb a little, and that little incident he had about Norm Drucker may be insignificant if things don't go well in the playoffs. He still thinks that the $3 million he took through the grillwork at the bank and wet his fingers while he counted it was a good investment for his outfit, National Equities. It isn't bringing the greatest return imaginable, but all the side effects fit in nicely. He went into the usual doffings towards the team, the bits about spirit, pride, guts and how he wished he could sit and put on paper how much he thinks of this team. A lot of people still ask how a man can be at all interested in this game after a number of years.

It's the team. If we had a Green Bay football team, a Dodger ball club, the Montreal franchise, then the Celtics would hardly be on anyone's lips. But this team is something else. It brought worry onto itself after its first game out West, a bad licking by San Francisco. There were still games in Los Angeles, two, and back to San Francisco and, as luck would have it, men were toppling all over the place.

Would it be second place? Third place? All of a sudden maybe it was Mel Counts who just was able to piece things again. Mel Counts. It looks like a brand new game to him every time he touches a basketball. "That guy must have been something," said Waldron. "And to think he wasn't making those awkward fouls." Just Monday, Murphy drove his family home from Detroit to Hamilton, Ontario.

He has two children of school age. Old Smoky Warms Up Smoky Burgess, veteran White Sox pitcher who made professional start in 1944, takes first cut at ball in Spring training camp at Sarasota, Fla. (AP) Memorial, No. Quincy Draw Byes in Tech By NEIL SINGELAIS As early as midway through the high school basketball season, people were predicting that Catholic Memorial and North Quincy loomed as the teams to meet in the championship final. 23 jj Dispute Announcement Ivies Did NOT Sign N.C.A.A.1.6 Rule So it was only fitting that director Henry McCarthy should announce that Memorial and North Quincy are the only Class A schools to be awarded byes in next week's preliminary rounds at Boston Garden.

Last season Catholic Memorial, coached by Rapnie Perry, dominated the Tech, thanks to its 6-8 center Ronnie Teixeira who is now a freshman at Holy Cross. But Art Good, who goes 6-5, is back. North Quincy has been a Greater Boston League power the last two Winters and part of the credit belongs to its fine 6-6 center Dave Zink who was named to the Globe All-Scholastic team as a Henry McCarthy son of the tournament director. Holliston failed to make the tourney and won't be able to defend its title, so it looks as if Dom Savio of East Boston and Lincoln Sudbury, the only unbeaten schools in the division, have the inside track But other teams like West-wood, Bellingham and Manchester may have different ideas. A couple of familiar faces will be missing from the Tech this time Somerville, which failed to make the grade for only the second time in 24 years and Brockton, which has qualified for the most tournaments in all 26.

"This was merely to show them that we are 'complying' above and beyond their 1.6 standard. "But we have not signed their certificate of compliance and we have no intention cf doing so. This has been the Ivy stand all along." What gives the Ivy colleges concern, stemming from the misleading N.C.A.A. announcement, is that many other smaller colleges will waver in their similar stand. The X.CAVs correcllT-wortied, but misleading reference to Ivy 'compliance' makes it look as if the Ivies abandoned all the smaller colleges out in mid-stream with the 22d time.

The Maple Leafs, with regulars Terry Sawchuck and Johnny Bower sidelined by injuries, lost minor league replacement Gary Smith with a leg injury early in the first period.
