With antipoverty, medicare and civil rights getting most of the public attention, the Johnson Administration's housing bill seemed almost lost in the basket of Great Society legislation. Yet it is one of the biggest programs of all, and last week the Senate, by a vote of 54 to 30, approved it and sent it to a Senate-House conference committee to iron out a few differences.

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...
