Celtics Defeat 'Cousi ins I'-'il'l ill For Conduct Unbecoming Itoston Bait? fetibt By LEONARD M. FOWLE Bostpn College last night suspended its goalie, James Logue of Melrose' and its first line pivot, Jack Cusack. of Arlington, as the result of Monday's display of tempers and poor sportsmanship at the conclusion of the Bean-pot Tournament's consolation game in the Garden. A. NEW YORK, Feb.

16-The Celtics started a string of five road games in a six-night period by turning back their Minneapolis "cousins," 130 to 122 on Madison-Sq. Garden's floor tonight in the first game of an NBA double-header. The victory was Boston's fifth in a row and the sixth over the. Lakers after their sole setback at the hands of Minneapolis back on Nov. 8.

Overall, it marked Boston's 28th victory over the former perennial NBA champions in the last 29 ball games covering a three-year period, including playoffs. The Celtics had little trouble in this one, enjoying as much as a 19-point lead, 78-59 halfway through the third session and practically coasting to the end for their 17th win in their last 20 games. Whenever the Lakers did cut the deficit to just under 10 pointe, Bill Sharman and Bob Cousy, hitting unerringly on push shots, rode Boston back to safe margins. Sharman had 22 in the second half, emerging as Celtics' high for the night with 26. Cousy picked up 24, Frank Ramsey 22 and Bill Russell, still boss of the boards, managed 20.

"But I can't say any more on the subject until I've filed my report with (EC AC Commissioner) Asa Bushnell in New York," Kelley added.

Another case of the innocent bystander, etc. Hot-blooded outbursts are so common to hockey they are usually excused, but this one was so fever-ish'that B.C.' authorities felt obliged to suspend one player for the rest of the season and another for two games. The most interesting why of the incident is: Why was a Northeastern student serving as a goal judge? Because, it was explained, of an emergency.

One of the assigned goal judges failed to arrive for the game: A substitute had to be found, just as a number of years ago, a couple of ball players had to umpire a Braves game because the umpires, coming frqm New York by boat, were fog-bound in Boston Harbor. "We looked around for someone who knew what it was all about, and came up with Bishop," explained Cliff Thompson, one of the referees. "He works in the skate shop at the Arena, and played goal for the Northeastern freshmen last year." "I suggested he call them until the regular judge showed up, but he never did," said Bell. "Bishop did a good job. He had plenty of poise.

Otherwise he'd have put the light on for a near-goal by Northeastern. Some people thought Northeastern had a goal, but Bishop didn't call it and he was right." coints.
