getting rid of a coach and hiring
a new one is no sure-file formula
lor success. ,
Thev were further than ever to
day from their objective of third
place in the Eastern Division of
the National Basketball Assn. and
a spot ' in the playoffs. For the
fifth straight time they were beat
en by the Syracuse Nationals, 108
107, In two loverttme periods at
Madison Square Garden. : .
Syracuse, riding high with a six-
game winning streak, now has a
third place lead of a game and
a half over the Knicks.
Ironically, 'when Joe Lapchick
gave up the I ghost as coach, the
Knicks were in third place, com
lortably ahead of Syracuse.' But
sincer Vince Boryla took over as
head man oh Feb. 12 the New
Yorkers have won only two games
while losing ifive. .
At St. Lous, Chuck Share and'
Bob Pettjt piled in 27 points apiece
to pace the Hawks to a 101-97 vic
tory over the Boston Celtics. St.
Louis retained third place in the
Western Division.
