Russell Leads West To 74-62 Shrine Win Kansas City, Mo. (U.P.) Bill Russell of San Francisco, a hero all over again from the East West Shrine All-Star game, said today "There isn't enough money to keep me from' trying for the Olympics." Russell, who sparked the West to a 74-62 win in Monday night's game, meant that money from the pro ranks wouldn't lure him away from being an amateur for the games at Melbourne this No vember. Outstanding Player The 6-10 All-America was nam ed unanimously as the outstand ing player of the classic. He was high point man with 18 points, and as usual his big arms cut down scoring from the oppo nents. Once again he played with K. C. Jones, his All-America teammate, for an almost unbeat able duo for Coach Floyd Stahl's West All-Stars. Russell scored the game's first basket and sat out the latter stages as his replacement, 7-foot Don Holdebuck of Houston hit ten straight points for the West to insure the win.

Poppenheim was demanding a chance at Chene's junior heavy title after he had won the ver dict last week but Chene flatly refused. Chene was nearly hung when he missed a tackle and twisted into the ropes. When released he dropped to the floor and was counted out. Romero jumped up and tried to keep Poppenheim at bay and they swapped a couple of punch es. Matchmaker Owen said that the team match would give all of their grudges a chance to have at it. Last week O'Reilly held Ro mero to a one hour draw in a rugged match. In the prelims this time Chene will meet O'Reilly and Romero will get a crack at Poppenheim.
