Russell calls on his men to play both ends of the court, and those who play defence best, play most. Spenser Hayward, the six-foot-eight-inch forward, is a man with a remarkable ability and agility. In this game against Kansas City, Omaha, Hayward, who scored 26 points to lead the Sonics to victory, also grabbed 14 rebounds, and even at times guarded little Nate Archibald in the front court. Hayward is averaging more than 23 points per game, but coach Bill Russell feels that seven-foot-two-inch Tom Burleson -- another Olympian like Hayward -- is the key to the Sonics' fortunes. Holding second place in the Pacific Division, the Seattle Supersonics are beginning to make noises in the NBA. This is Loigh Stevens reporting."
