Celtics Favored As NBA Opens Sunday NEW YORK (UPI) — Coaches of the eight National Basketball Association teams predicted today in a United Press international poll that the Boston Celtics will regain their pro championship and that Elgin Baylor of the Minneapolis Lakers will be rookie-of-the-year. The coaches, polled by UPI just before Sunday’s start of the new NBA season, unanimously picked the Celtics and the defending champion St. Louis Hawks to win their division titles. They could not agree unani mously on which team would win the championship playoffs next spring, but five of them cast their vote for the Celtics to take back the title they lost to he Hawks last April. Two picked St. Louis to win the playoffs and one voted for Minneapolis. In forecasting individual honors, the coaches’ consensus favored Bob Pettit of the Hawks as the league’s outstanding player and Baylor, the &-foot-5 former Seattle University AU - America, as the best first-year player. Six of the eight coacnes cast their vote for Pettit, the talented 6 - foot - 9 forward who was the NBA s third highest scorer even though he played several weeks of last season with a cast encasing his broken wrist. Pettit averaged 24.6 points in 70 games and was the league’s second highest rebounder with an average of 17.4 per game. He' averaged essentially the same figures in 11 playoff games last season and scored 50 points in the Hawks’ 110-109 titleclinching victory over Boston. Baylor, the most highly - sought player in last season s college crop, won the vote of seven oi the eight coaches for rookie honors. The other coach picket. Connie Dierking, the 6-foot--9 former Cincinnati University center now with Syracuse. Black Hawks Score Third Win In Row United Press International The Chicago Black Hawks sporting "new ice makeup,” appear determined to stay atop the National Hockey League ladder. Perennial cellar - dwellers, the Hawks showed the effects of nine new faces in their lineup Thursday night as they blasted the Detroit Red Wings, 7-2, for their third straight victory. Lome Ferguson and Eric Nesterenko, Chicago holdovers, paced the Hawk attack with a pair of goals, while one goal apiece was scored by three newcomers—Danny Lewicki (former Ranger), Dollard St. Laurent (former Canadien) and Ken Wharram (former Buffalo Bison). Revealing the hottest attack in the NHL with 16 goals and the best defense with six against, Chicago is the only club without a loss in the infant hockey season. Ferguson and Nesterenko got the Hawks flying with a pair of markers iri the opening stanza. Wharram and Leonard Lunde traded goals in the second pertod before Chicago broke the game open with four tallies in the final period. Dickie Moore, the NHL’s leading scorer last season, tallied the first and last goals as Montreal's defending Stanley Cuppers edged Toronto, 4-3. Toronto erased the Canadiens’ 3-0 early lead with a pair in the first period and another in the second. However, two last period goals by Montreal spelled the difference. Artist and Model

Auburn Puts 17-GameWin Skein On Line By FRED DOWN United Press International Auburn puts its 17-game winning streak in jeopardy and Wisconsin places its Big Ten title hopes on the line Saturday in the top games of a college football scheduled “loaded” with conference battles and potential upsets. Army’s top - rated Cadets, 14-2 conquerors of Notre Dame, are a 27-point choice Over Virginia in what appears to be a ‘‘breather” but most of the other top 10 teams face formidable opposition. Virginia has surprised Army two straight years with tough games but is reported in very poor physical condition for Saturday’s game. Auburn, considered the country’s No. 1 defensive team, goes for its 18th consecutive victory against a Georgia Tech team which has beaten Florida State, Tulane and Tennessee after an opening 13-0 loss to Kentucky. Auburn is rated a seven - point pick but the game is expected to be a hard - bitten defensive battle which could be decided by a break. *■ Badgers Slight Favorite Wisconsin, the nation’s thirdranked team, has piled up 101 points against a combined total of six for three opponents but is picked by only seven points over lowa. lowa was tied, 13-13, by the Air Force Academy btit beat Texas Christian, 17-0, and Indiana, 34-13. It is almost essential for Wisconsin to get past lowa because the Badgers meet defending Big 10 champion Ohio State in their next game. Army, with its best team since Blanchard and Davis crushed all war-fime opposition, was a heavy favorite over Virginia last season but won by only 20-12. But the double - edged ground threat of Pete Dawkins and Bob Anderson is almost certain to prove too much for the Cavaliers. The Wisconsin - lowa game will be televised on a regional basis by NBC, as will the Penn StateBoston University and UCLA Washington games. Irish Over Duke Notre Dame is expected to rebound from the loss to Army by beating Duke handily in the day’s top intensectional contest. In other Tntersectionals, sixth-ranked Navy plays Tulane. North Texas State is ?t Brigham Young, the Air Force Academy plays Stanford, Nebraska is at Syracuse, and Pitt is favored over West Virginia. Ninth - ranked Louisiana State, with a suprising 4-0 record, has an important Saturday night date with Kentucky, the team that beat Georgia Tech and is considered top - grade stuff despite a 2-2 record. Vanderbilt is at Florida and Alabama at Tennessee in other Southeastern Conference games. Buckeyes Over Indiana Ohio State, ranked fourth, is a heavy choice over Indiana, fifthranked Michigan plays tough Perdue, Minnesota meets Illinois and Michigan opposes Northwestern in the other Big 10 games. Oklahoma, which fell from the top 10 for the first time since 1953 after last Saturday’s defeat, figures to get back on the winning trail against Big Eight opponent Kansas. Colorado Is at lowa State and Missouri at Kansas State in other Big Eight games. Oregon plays Washington State and Southern California meets California in the top Pacific’Conference games while Texas, which topped Oklahoma, 15 - 14, last Saturday, opens its quest of the Southwest Conference title as a two-touchdown choice over Arkansas. Rice plays Southern Methodist and Texas Christian meets Texas A&M in other Southwest Conference games.

World Series Funds Split By Players NEW YORK (UPD—The Yankees sliced their World Series melon like world champions, but they’re pikers alongside the Pirates Maintaining their traditional World Series generosity, the Yankees cut in such part-timers as Sal Maglie, Virgil 'Trucks and Murry Dickson for huge chunks in the division of the series spoils made public by Commissioner Ford Frick Thursday. All told, 32 members of the Yankees will each collect a full share of $8,759.10 in the mail today while 31 members of the losing Braves each will receive $5,896.08. The Pirates, who finished second to the Braves in the National League race, came through with the most generous gesture of the year—and maybe even in World Series history—when they voted a full share of $1,507.04 to their batting instructor, George Sisler. Not Regular Coach Sisler, a Hall of Famer, is not a regular member of the Pittsburgh coaching staff but- he puts in long hours teaching Pirate batters how to hit, is immensely popular with all of them and the size of his share was a token of their appreciation. ‘‘l think this is the first time a batting coach ever was so appreciated,” Frick said. “I think it’s a fine thing.” Frick also said he thought both the Yankees and Braves were “very generous” with their splits. The Yanks voted a half share to Maglie though he left the club June 14; three - quarters of a share ($6,569.33) to Dickson, who joined them Aug. 22, and full shares to Trucks and Duke Maas, who were obtained from Kansas City on June 15. , _ The financial awards to several non-players, including door men and parking lot attendants at Milwaukee’s County Stadium. Duren Gets Deduction Yankee pitcher Ryne Duren will find $250 deducted from his winning share as a result of a fine levied by Frick for a “check-up” gesture he made at umpire Charley Beery during the sixth game of the series. And 22 members of the Braves will find SSO pissing from their shares for prematurely disclosing how they voted to split their money. Both the winners' and losers share were the fourth highest in history. The record high for a winner was $11,147.90 each member of the Giants received in 1954 and the record loser’s share was $6,934.34 set by the 1956 Dodgers. A full share for the second-place White Sox this year was worth $1,518.94 and for the Pirates it was $1,507.04. The third-place Red Sox drew $995.90 for a full share while the third - place Giants, who voted fewer full shares, netted $1,031.14. A full share for the fourth-place Indians came to $518.61 and $567.23 for the fourth-place Redlegs. _____ 311 Cases Os Polio Reported In Nation WASHINGTON (UPD — The U S.

Seek Prevention Os Auto Plant Strike American Motors, Union Negotiating DETROIT (UPD — American Motors and the United Auto Workers Union went down to the wire in an effort to avert a strike by AMC’s 13,000 workers scheduled to begin today. Both sides refused to comment on progress of the talks under a mutual agreement to withhold all statements until an agreement was reached. But spokesmen for both indicated they still hoped to reach an agreement before the deadline “or at least shortly afterward.” , The company and the union had already agreed upon several aspects of AMC’s employes in its Kelvinator plant at Grand Rapids, Mich. But spokesmens’ said further contract provisions would have to be included in the national agreement. The partial agreement called for AMC to pay the Kelvinator workers bonuses in lieu of vacations and the workers in return would forego cost of living escalator pay increases and other benefits which normally would have occcured to them during the two year duration of the contract. The plan was that the workers would be able to draw unemployment compensation during layoffs caused by model changeovers and the amount of unemployment compensation they received would be deducted from their bonuses. Michigan Atty. Gen. Paul Adams threw a monkey wrench into the plan, however, when he ruled the workers could not draw unemployment compensation un-
