Defeat 'Cousins' NEW Feb, 16-The Celtics started a string of five road games in a six-night period by 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 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 "thre ball games covering a period, including playoffs.

The Celtics had little trouble in this one, enjoying as much as a 19-point lead, halfway through the third's 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 points, 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. Elgin Baylor, great Laker star, led all scorers with 40, while Frank Selvy and HotRod Hundley totaled 17, apiece.

Oddly enough, Boston's redhot Tommy Heinsohn, used sparingly due to early fouling, was held to his lowest output, 13 he points, since Dec. 19, when had but 11 against New York at Boston. The great Celtic "gunner" had scored no less than 19 points in his last 25 1 ball games until tonight. CELTS Page Twenty-two Colleges: H.C. Rallies To Top B.U.

The NIT-bound Holy Cross basketball team was forced to come from behind to salvage an 83 to 76 triumph over hustling Boston University at Sargent Gym last night. On the strength of sophomore forward Jack Foley's 18- point second-half scoring spree, the Crusaders rebounded from a 37-36 half-time deficit to win their 11th straight, Foley, who totalled 29 points, broke the game open with five minutes remaining as the visitors led by only four points (69-65). He hit on two outside shots, a foul shot, then sank a technical foul throw. The tech had been called on B.U. coach John Burke for arguing with the refs.

Holy Cross captain Ralph Brandt played a major part in his squad's win as he grabbed 15 rebounds and scored 11 points. John Alexander was high for B.U. with 22 points! The win improved the Crusaders' record to 16-2. The Terriers an 10-8 mark.

FOWLE Boston 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 Beanpot Tournament's consolation game in the Garden. Logue drew the stiffer penalty, following, an afternoonlong the Heights which found Athletic Director Bill Flynn, Coach John "Snooks" Kelley, and the faculty moderator for athletics, Rev. Joseph L. Shea, S.J., closeted. The former Malden Catholic star, who was recipient of all star honors a year ago, was dropped from the squad for the remainder of the season and remains under indefinite athletic suspension.

Cusack was suspended for the next two contests which the Eagles will play against Army on Saturday and at the Arena with arch-rival Boston University next Wednesday. The official statement, emanating from Athletic Director Flynn's office and released by B. C. publicist, Charles Harvey, at 7 last night does not mention either boy by name. It reads: "The Boston College hockey team wants to apologize to the Boston Garden authorities, the game officials, and the fans for conduct unbecoming some Boston College hockey players at the conclusion of the Northeastern hockey game.

"The action taken by the Boston College athletic authorities was: player dropped from the hockey squad for the remainder of the season and will remain under indefinite athletic suspension. One other player has been suspended for two games." The action was one of the severest meted to college hockey players in the East within memory Boston College's prompt action was greeted by approval and praise in hockey and college sports circles. Earlier this year a Harvard player drew a one game suspension Cooney Weiland, based in part, but not in full, on his actions in a fracas at the Harvard-Toronto game, Referee NOT Hit by Player Dick Kelley, referee in the Beanpot Tourney, was not actually struck during the aftermath fracas of the Boston College-Northeastern game Monday night, as has been reported. "He (B.C. goalie Jim Logue) did not hit me," Kelley told the Globe from his home in Waltham last night.

"But I can't say any more on the subject until I've filed my report with (ECAC Commissioner) Asa Bushnell in New York," Kelley added. Many old hockey players have been disturbed this year by the frequency of outbursts of temper or actual fighting during games and some advocate the college following the rule of the master's Assn. decrees schoolboy an automatic suspension from the next league game of any player engaged in fighting or any unsportsmanlike conduct. There is no question in the mind of their that Logue and Cusack the mastere worst offenders in the outbreak. The goal tender rushed from the bench across the ice to maul and throw a punch at referee Dick "Red" Kelley.

Cusack, whose shot went home after the green light flashed, tried to climb over the glass protection to threaten the timer. Logue also threatened goal judge John Bishop, banging with a stick on the glass in back of the net where Bishop was sitting. Logue was evicted from Clarkson game a year ago for roughing referee Bill Stewart Jr. Stuffy McInnis, 69, Dies; Played for A's, Red Sox MANCHESTER, Feb. 16- John P.

(Stuffy) McInnis, 69, one of the outstanding first; basemen in baseball history, died today at Cable Memorial Hospital in Ipswich. McInnis, who stood only 5-8, was considered one of the flossiest fielders the game ever has seen. He came out of Gloucester High School, played 50 games in the New England League and then joined the famous old Philadelphia Athletics of Connie Mack. Oneth Get Name, Twoeth Buy Land Pro Club Named Patriots; Practice on Bunker Hill? Boston's professional football team has a name. You now may refer to them as the "Boston Patriots." After weeks of consideration, contest running and general inquiries from the newspaper and radio men, William H.

Sullivan Jr. and his associates decided upon the Patriots tag. Thus the Ten J. HANCOCK Little Patriots McKEEVER are exploiting the region's vast Colonial history. They are looking forward to the promotion angle, mainly television, where they can easily conjure thoughts of a gaily-garbed Colonial band fifing and drumming its way up and down the field.

It serves as a good luck charm--and something more, she said. "It depends on him," was all the elaboration she'd make concerning her future plans. Targets of just about every photographer and reporter here recently have been Penny Pitou of Gilford, N.H., and Egon Zimmerman of Austria, Olympic skiers who reportedly plan to marry.

For the -moment Miss Snite is thinking only in terms of Olympics. Betsy left her home on Nov. 1, to begin training at Aspen, Colo. A few weeks ago she arrived at Squaw. This morning women's Alpine teams from all competing nations made a non-stop training run down KT-22, the mountain where the ladies downhill race will be held Saturday.

All are eligible for the grand prize, a television set. Those who desire to go for the big prize have to write a 100-word essay on why they chose the name Patriots. The essays will be turned over to Bill Ohrenberger, an assistant superintendent of Boston schools, who will turn them over to qualified members of that system for judging. The television set will pick up the Giants games on Sundays.

Undoubtedly, the Patriots will become known as Pats a in the headlines for brevity's sake. Some wise guy will refer to them as the Patsies. Anyway, they've got a name. And Billy Sullivan--the Sam Adams of this outfit has a coach, two assistants, a tentative site for a stadium. General Manager Ed McKeever, who well could be likened to John Hancock since he has to sign everything, has 41 players under contract.

The Patriots are in business. Mike "Paul Holovak is out on the countryside spreading the word. There is a big battle coming up for the Patriots. In fact, a series of battles. Boston Daily Globe Reg.

U.S. Pat. Off. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1960 Nineteen Errant Button Puts Volunteer Judge in Soup By HAROLD KAESE Even in these days of Art Ross nets, Art Ross pucks, synchronized clocks and goal lights and wallopproof backboards, goal-judging can sometimes be more trouble than it's worth. Latest to arrive at this conclusion was a Northeastern student, Jim Bishop, who volunteered to call 'em behind one Garden goal in the consolation game of the Beanpot tournament between Boston College and Northeastern.

The consolation in this case was all Northeastern's as Jimmy Bell's team upset the Eagles, 6 to 5, in a game that ended riotously with a tying goal by B.C. being voided because time had expired.

McINNIS Page Twenty-three 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 from 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." a "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 neargoal by Northeastern. Some people thought Northeastern had a goal, but Bishop didn't call it and he was right."
