Before he retired two years ago, Russell, the familiar No. 6 at right in a 1966 game, led the Celtics to 10 NBA titles in 12 seasons as a player and player-coach and was recently honored by his alma mater, San Francisco when it dedicated the Bill Russell Room he Is touring below.

Gurdon took the second half tipoff and the race was on in what was expected as a good second half, but Hope began to quickly prove otherwise as Rodden and Dorothy Stevenson quickly hit set shots to widen the an 66 South Illinois 79, Tulane 68 N.C.

For the next few minutes Singleton ripped the net for six points and a Hope lead, 29- Sydney 65 Mars Hill 96, Wofford 89 Baltimore U. 85, Hampden- Garden's Go-Devils trying desperately to make a comeback. With 1:25 left in the third period, Singleton again layed one through the hoop, after a good pass under the goal, and second later Rodden began hitting the net, ripping off the next five Lady cat points, the last on a basket with three seconds left to give Hope a 37-24 spread with one final period left to play. Driving layups and quick jumpshots, free throws and no foul trouble played the role in the last quarter for the Ladycats as they flashed in 20 points while holding Gurdon to seven. Singleton, McCain, Rodden, and Corny Coleman all got into the scoring act.

Singleton led Hope with 22 points, followed by Rodden with 16, McCain hitting 10, Coleman getting seven, and Stevenson sinking two. Also much credit must go to the defensive unit including Carol Frazier, Mona Rowe, Sandra Hamilton, Betty Ruth Honeycutt, and Judy Reyenga, all logging playing time. Things didn't exactly work right in the second contest though as the Cats just couldn't cope with the whole game rebounding of Gurdon and had a hard time with inside shots. Hope was also without the services of senior Steve Harris, who didn't make the roadtrip due to illness. Both teams hit early hot streaks and quickly hit nine points each as the score was tied at nine all with 3:52 left in the first period.

However, Hope soon cooled off somewhat and found themselves behind 16-15, moving into the second period. Although grabbing a quick 1916 margin on shots by Buddy Ingram and Jimmy Smith, the Cats hit a skid mark and fell behind with 4:02 left in the first half. Never to regain the lead again, Hope went to the dressing room, trailing 30-21, after the Go- Devils hit three straight shots at the end of the half. Outscured 15-8, in the third period, Hope fell even farther behind as the Cats had trouble getting the ball through the hoop. Early in the last quarter, Hope puCed back to within ten points, 50-40, on the shooting of David Briggs, but the Gurdon five started hitting again and the lead over the Bobcats steadily increased with the reserves pouring in for both sides.

Briggs led the Cats with 20 points, followed by Smith with 12, Rowland hitting five, James Bradley getting four, Buddy- Ingrain hitting three, Mike Harris popping in two, and Danny Joyce and Bud Martin each getting one.

Thinking Man's Lineman By MURRAY OLDERMAN SAN FRANCISCO, true, as even his defensive line coach says.

Charlie Krueger won't ever make an all-pro team again. He is 34, in the twilight zone o( professional football. And a little overweight. But Charlie Krueger will play for the San Francisco 49ers as long as the coaches think he can hold up physically without embarrassing himself. "When the legs go and the body goes," says Paul Wig gin, the 49ers' line coach, "Charlie Krueger doesn't go.

He's a mental computer. He can tell you when a guy gets in a stance, what count the play is going on." Charlie has been a 49er defensive lineman for 13 years without the publicity of an Alex Karras, who was a contemporary, but with appreciation by his peers. "At Cleveland," says Wiggin, who was himself a defensive end for the Browns, "when they wanted to show us how to play off a block, we saw films of Krueger. Somewhere along the line, Charlie Krueger said to himself that he was going to be the most disciplined football player. That's why he's still around, and Karras, who had more feel for line play than any guy in football, is gone because his legs were gone." Charlie's savvy translated itself into this situation late in the 49ers game against the Minnesota Vikings.

The Vikes, trailing by four, had New York Nets Division 1970-71 finish: W40, place PROSPECTUS: Nets' success will depend on continued improvement from second-year center BUI Paultz, ability of all-American rookie John Roche to make transition to pros and whether or not Rick Barry can avoid injury.

Jim Hayes (31. Oihe driven across midfield to the San Francisco 43. On first down, Clinton Jones ran a slant to the weak side, away from Charlie's left tackle position, with Milt Sunde, the guard immediately in front of Charlie, pulling to lead the play.

Krueger was lined up on the nose of the ball in the 49ers' complex flexed tackle and one end 30 inches back from the ball, the other tackle and end crowding the line of scrimmage. With the snap, he charged on Sunde's heels and arrived three yards beyond the line of scrimmage at the same instant Jones was taking the handoff from quarterback Norm Snead. Result: three- yard loss. "They had a new young center in the game," recounted Charlie. "Mick Ting- elhoff had been hurt.

Tingel- hoff would have read my charge immediately and altered his blocking angle to force rne deeper away from the handoff. This guy didn't alter his angle of blocking." There's a conception that life in the pits, as the action in the middle of the line has been termed, is a physical tug of war with overtones of violence. Not so, when you delve into the nuances with such as Charlie. In fact, the sophistication of defensive play has probably led the National Football League into a cycle where defense is now dominating offense. Touchdowns, scored last year at a rate of 2.2 per game, are now down to 2.0 per game, and shutouts are no longer rarities Minnesota 3, Green Bay 0).

Appreciation of defensive play in modern pro football began with the New York Giants of 1956 and has flourished to the point where its heroes have equal stature with the prime movers of the game. Dr. Hal Herring, a former Cleveland linebacker and pro coach, devoted his doctoral dissertation at the University of Georgia last term to the development of defense in the NFL. Today's game is a trickery of odd-man spacings, linebacker stacks and rotating zones which camouflage the thrust of defense and contribute to the mystique. Even up front the stress is on mental gymnastics.

That's why you've got a Krueger. He looks little things. Saturday, December 11, 1971 Cazzie Just Wants to Be Appreciated By MURRAY OLDKRMAN OAKLAND. is in Cazzie Russell this need to belong, to feel appreciated. Cazzie is, in his own specialty, a virtuoso.

He is a shooter. Pure and simple. Well the other night at the Oakland Coliseum, Cazzie took 13 shots at the basket in the first half. Only one went in A dubious tap from a scramble under the really looked as" if Jeff Mullins deserved credit for the two-pointer. With that kind of shooting percentage, Cazzie should have been sneaking looks toward the scorer's bench, where substitutes report.

And if it had been a year ago. when Cazzie was playing fitfully for the New York Knicks, he'd never have made it to the 13th shot. But this is 1971, and Cazzie is playing forward for the Golden State Warriors, who have been desperate for his kind of players since Rick EJarry defected in 1967. Well, in the second half of this same game, Cazzie made seven field goals in 12 shots, added three free throws, and five seconds before the end of the game, with the score tied, popped in the winning basket. The official scorer's sheet showed he had played a total of 43 minutes.

Last year with the Knicks, Cazzie averaged under 19 minutes a game. "He's instant offense," said Coach Al Attles in explaining why he stuck with Cazzie. "I know shooters. If I go away from him, he's going to lose his confidence and it'll be tough to get it back." "He's like a man unleashed," added Mullins, the veteran guard who has been the Warriors' most consistent pointmaker for four years. "1 heard he didn't match up well, that he had been burned by people like (John) Havlicek.

It must have been frustrating for Cazzie not to play. When we'd come into New York he'd be out there on the court alone an hour before a game. Practicing." There is, of course, more to basketball than the act of shooting. Defense, rebounding, going without the ball contribute to the picture of the complete player. And with the Knicks they said that Cazzie had an occasional hot hand and not much else.

"I heard that he can't play defense," quoted Attles. "But with a guy like Nate Thurmond on a team, it changes things. Listen, Nate made ME look good playing defense." Thurmond is the Warriors' 6-11 center whose forte is throttling other teams. "I don't see where any team has taken Cazzie apart this year," continued Attles. "He's played guys like Bob Love and Chet Walker one-on-one.

Besides, I don't believe in tags. Why can't a guy be a good player with a weakness? All I know is that a guy 6-5 and 225 should help us on the boards and give us the shooting. We needed a forward who could take the ball on his own and score." So after last season, the Warriors traded Jerry Lucas, who was aging and slow, for Cazzie, who is only in his sixth year. In the first month of the season it has been beautiful. "It helps your concentration," said Cazzie, "knowing you're going to play.

I can go l-for-13, like I did here, and I was still in the game. Used to be I'd miss four shots and out I'd go. "On the Knicks, there just wasn't enough time for everybody. I was greedy for playing time. "There was pressure on me.

When I first came into the league, I played backcourt and was taking small guards. And I had signed a big contract. They said I couldn't rebound. "Everybody needs a scapegoat, and I just happened to be there. But I knew I could play.

Listen, I once held Elgin Baylor to five points in a play-off game. So I sensed a trade and I wanted to be ready. I really wanted to come here. They say Franklin Mieuli (the Warriors' owner) is flaky, but he really treats his players like a human." Especially when they average more than 20 points a game as Cazzie has been doing.
