Mark Could Be Beaten By Boston Portland .- (UPD - World broad jump record holder Ralph Boston will lead a host of the nation's top track and field competitors in the Far West Indoor Classic here Fri day night. Boston, who holds the world outdoor mark with a leap of 26-feet-ll'i, will be attempt ing to shatter the indoor mark for the fourth week in a row. The Tennessee A&I star went 26-feet-e1 last week end at the national AAU indoor games at New York to set a new standard. The 15-event program also includes such names as shot putter Parry O'Brien, Olym pic 400-meter dash champion Otis Davis, sprinters Roscoe Cook and Harry Jerome, miler Dyrol Burleson, hur dler Jerry Tarr, quarter-miler Eddie Southern, pole vaulters Aubrey Dooley and Ron Mor ris, broad jumper Darrell Horn and high jumper Hank Wyborney. Boston, the man who broke Jesse Owens' long - standing record, could go 27 feet in the meet, according to meet director Sam Bell, who is head track coach at Oregon State college. ' "He'll have more runway here," Bell explains, "and he's now used to Indoor jumping off board tracks." However, Bell figures the meet's outstanding name could have trouble beating his own boy, Horn, a senior at Oregon State. Horn's best in the event is 25-fect-6'4. Boston also will compete in the high jump and 60-yard high hurdles events.

Its speed, good scoring and bench helped it to the Klamath County B league crown as well as to the tourney cham pionship. Gordon Kuist is Chiloquin coach. Prospect, Jackson County champ, which has a balanced scoring threat, although Craig Gardner has been chief point maker, will rely much on de fense against the Panthers, and Coach Payne has said that defense could make the dif ference. Celts Back Into Title United Press International In professional basketball It's the bench that makes the big difference and the de fending National Basketball association champion Boston Celtics have the best one in the business. Wednesday night they were forced to play without Tom my Heinsohn and Sam Jones, and as a result dropped a 110 97 decision to the St. Louis Hawks. However, because . their bench has been bailing them out all season long, the Celtics backed into the Eastern di vision title their fifth straight when the second place Philadelphia Warriors were beaten by tfie Syracuse Nationals, 149-128, despite a 56 point performance by, Wilt Chamberlain. In other games, the Cincin nati Royals stayed "alive" in their bid to gain the third and last playoff spot in the Wes tern division by beating the third-place Detroit Pistons, 137-122, and the Los Angeles Lakers whipped the hapless New York Knickerbockers, 144-107.
