He say t.hat vet!'ran NRA campalf?T\Cr Jack Mc\1ahon, now bos. of the San Diego Rockets, recently called Russell ''the greate I competitor of all-time, in all sports." Lew Alcindor, for all hi fabulous "tools and talent," still hasn't proved himsell in the NBA cauldron. Up until now, Alcindor has been outclassing mere eol!rge boys -with the notable exception of Elvin Hayes or Houston - and he's been surrounded at UCLA by an ''all-star ca t of 10,000," if you'll forgive the Hollywood touch. rarl Boldt Is <'Onsidl'rably more outspoken than his old coarh. ''I think Bill would have hurt Lew's feeling t'arly, and turJled him 3\\ ay for the night." he drclares. "llldn't you see thr.

Three Important things about USJPs epochal clubs <.-Om• pared io UCLA's, whkh aren't generally understood, might shed additional light: (l) The Dons' players largely were local Jlo)s, whereas Johnny Wooden has recruited hi starts coast- to-roast. f'our of the starters on USF's NCA/\ championship fhe of 1956 were San f'rancisco Bay Area products (Bill R ell was from Oakland, for example, and K.. C. Jones a native of "The City"). The filth Don starter. guard Hal Ferry, was from };ureka, located 200 miles north of San Franris('o. Johnny Wooden Imported Rruin stars Lew Akln- dor, Lurlus Allen and Mike warren from New York, Kansas Cit and South Bend, Ind., respectively! (2) USW didn't have a gym of its own on whirh to practice In the days of its empire-builders, and Coach Wooipert actu- ally had to work nights with his boys when neighboring St. Ignatius High Gym was vacant. (~) Those Don cluhs played many of their toughest games on the road and, according to Holdt, "11,e didn't ever bring along our own officials!" (Or didn't you notice the Pac-Eight representation in pmstripes at Houston?) "I know an ex-Rrum ba:ketball player who admitted 1o ID" recently 'hat UCLA has played only two tough games on the road-Purdue and Houston, Purdue came within a pomt of beating the Bruins, and Houston did!" Carl Boldt scoffs. * * * Let It be clearly understood, however, that Boldt, Wool• pert and l-ports Front aren't making sport of the fallen Bruins,
