spite of the fact that attendan~s| at the stadium has been off, Saperstein expects to pull 33,000 to those two games, That eans 23,000 for Chicago (where few of the NBA crowds have hit $000), and capacity at the Lakers’ home court, which is 10,000. The Globe Trotters, an all! Negro outfit, feature smooth ball handling. trick plays, floor work and general basketball showmanship. Talk about your stalling what with the two-minute or fiveminute rule; those boys could! keep the ball away from you for half an hour. A name familiar to Indianapolis cage fans appears in the frotters’ lineup: It's Jumpin’ ohnny Wilson, former Anderson igh School and Anderson Colge star. _ At any rate, perhaps it would be a good idea for the NBA to hire Abe as a consultant.
