...Arnold ("Red") Auerbach, 48. Executive vice president, head scout, general manager and coach of the Celtics for the last 16 years, Auerbach is a self-proclaimed "dictator" to the players he commands. "We have a great deal of respect for Red," shudders Boston Forward Willie Naulls, "and a considerable amount of fear too." Says Center Russell, the highest paid (at $100,001 per year) player in the N.B.A.: "You run for Red-or get a job. Who wants a job? You can't beat these hours...
...moved into the populous Northeast for the first time by buying, for $41 million, Hartford's 118-year-old G. Fox & Co. Silver to Underwear. The May Co. was as much chosen as choosing.

Coach Dolph Schayes outlined his strategy: Guard Hal Greer was to pass deep to Forward Chet Walker, set up a long set shot; Chamberlain was to station himself under the basket and try to stuff in the rebound. In the Boston huddle, Coach Red Auerbach simply told the Celtics to gang up on Chamberlain. Then he turned to Forward Havlicek: "Keep an eye on Walker...
...they have outscored their opposition by an average of 9.9 points a game, and three of their seven defeats were by two points or less. Coach Auerbach calls "teamwork" the key to the Celtics' success, says that they have been playing together so long that they instinctively know one another's every move; fast breaks and tricky pass patterns click automatically. Forward Heinsohn says that it is "defense-Russell is playing absolutely fantastic basketball.'' But nobody really knows. "If we knew why we are so good," sighs Heinsohn, "we'd bottle it and sell...
