Continued: LAKERS the record-breaking 69 wins LA recorded during the regular season. Both Goodrich and West are excellent ball handlers and floor generals, besides being great defensive players. LA has a deep bench with help, if needed, at all positions. 6’-10’’ Leroy Ellis can fill in at center, but is mostly used at forward. Pat Riley can play either guard or forward with fine results. Flynn Robinson can also fill in at guard. The coach of this great team is Bill Sharman, who has brought discipline to the Lakers, and made them play up to their capabilities. The Lakers with their personnel should begin a dynasty which will last more than 865 days. Continued: UNCLE HENRY Aunt Ethel. He didn’t like Aunt Ethel because she always used him for a pin cushion. I almost cried when Uncle Henry died, instead of crying, I laughed with the rest of the family. It seems that one day when we were all on the beach, everybody decided to go into the water. Clem forgot that it was his turn to fly Uncle Henry over. While we were in the water Uncle Henry overbaked, and by the time we got out of the water, Uncle Henry looked like a giant piece of bacon. When we all saw this, we laughed like crazy. Uncle Henry sure was lots of fun. He was the funniest piece of bacon I ever saw. Before we left the beach Dad broke him up into little pieces and gave each of us a piece to feed to the sea gulls. Summer without Uncle Henry will never be the same.

Boston Red Sox have too many question marks in the infield to worry about a pennant. The New York Yankees may surprise this year. Bobby Murcer (.331) sparks a very potent offensive attack. George Scott, Billy Conigliaro, and Jim Lonborg lead the Milwaukee Brewers into battle against the Cleveland Indians for escape of the last spot in the East. The Indians have supposedly only one real major leaguer in Alex Johnson and he only plays well when he feels like it. A.L. WEST: Interest builds here when those won- der if Dick Allen can really lead the Chicago White Sox to a flag. It is possible for the sole reason that Allen is overdue to be on a championship team. With Vida Blue returning to action for Oakland there should be a real dog fight for the flag. The California Angels could also be rated a threat if pitchers Tom Murphy and Nolan Ryan (new- comer from Mets) have solid seasons and the infield learns to hit. The Kansas City Royals surprised many last year. Kansas City’s pitchers won’t stay as lucky-- 4th place. Rookie Bobby Darwin is one of the reasons that manager Bill Rigney picks the Twins to rebound this campaign. Unless Darwin is going to pitch too, the Twins might as well forget it, they're stuck in fifth place above the hapless Texas Rangers. They say things are big in Texas, but I would like to see how BIG the crowds are, to see the Rangers, after they show off their lack of baseball ability.
