Box 19521, Durham, NC 27707 By Larry Barber The Boston Celtics, possessing a world, of tradition, and a domineer ing force of winnings, made good those creden tials by holding off the upstart Houston Rockets four games to two, captur ing the 1981 National Basketball Association World Championship last ' week. It was their 14th ti tle in the 35-year history of the NBA, a feat no other, pro basketball team can rival'. However, some look at this year's victory disdain fully. Why? Boston had gone through the regular season to tie Philadelphia for the best NBA record of 60-22; had crushed Chicago four games to zip in the playoffs second round; humbled Philly with a 4-3 comeback triumph for the Eastern Conference title. On the other side of the court, Houston, at 40-42, entered the playoffs with: the worst record, of all 12 finalists. The Rockets then upset defending champion Los Angeles 2-1, struggled past San Antonio 4-3, and got by injury-riddled Kan sas City 4-1. A cakewalk for Boston in the finals', right? Wrong. The Rockets split four games with the Celtics in the best of seven series, and in effect, had a psychological edge un til Moses Malone shot off an insult. GAME ONE, BOSTON GARDEN Houston, using its walk-the-ball-up tactics and take the full 24 allotted seconds', controlU ed the tempo, and forward that they belonged. It was reserve guard Allen Lea veil who hit the. winn ing basket. Another substitute, Bill . Willoughby, canned 14 points, and Bird 19 points and 21 more rebounds for the Celtics. GAME THREE, HOUSTON SUMMIT Now, the Rockets had broken a 14-game jinx against Boston, and taken ! the home court advantage. What happened in this game was a disaster. The Celtics upped the tempo, and raced away with a 94-7T win, as Houston shot a pitiful 30 from the field in front of the home folks. Talk about balanced attacks: Cedric Maxwell scored 19 points, Chris Ford (17), Gerald Henderson (12), Rick Robey and Robert Parish (11), and Tiny Archibald (10). Bird had only eight, but snatched' 13 rebounds and dished out ten assists. Malone had 23 points for Houston, and Willoughby contributed 12. GAME FOUR, HOUSTON SUMMIT How can a team pick itself up after such a mess? Well, the Rockets did, with Mike Dunleavy play ing the "game of his life", scoring 28 points, and Moses stuffing 24, and ripping down 22 re bounds. Houston frustrated Boston by grab bing 28 offensive boards and came away with a big 91-96 win. GAME FIVE, BOSTON GARDEN In this contest, Boston got its fast break going again, and ran to a 109-80 romp. The Celts scored 33 points off the break, and Cedric Maxwell canned 24 as the series headed for Houston. GAME SIX, HOUSTON SUMMIT Boston smelled blood ear ly, and toyed with another blow-out as they led 84-67 at the start of the final period of play. However, Houston held Boston scoreless for almost five minutes and closed the gap to 86-83 at the 4:26 mark. The margin see sawed there until Bird popped in a three-pointer to give Boston a 95-89 lead. Four free throws by Most Valuable Player Maxwell, and three by Ford, carried Boston to a , 102-91 victory, and the crown. Bird finished with : 27 points, Maxwell 19, and Parish 18. Reid led Houston with 27 points, and Malone had 23. What had Malone said after game four? "They. (Boston) aren't that good. I could go back home (Petersburg, Va.) and pick four guys off the streets, , and beat them."

Bird totaled 21 rebounds, while Reid finished with 27 points. GAME TWO, BOSTON GARDEN Wherever Houston's brilliant center Malone was in game one, he came back n this contest with 31 points and 15 rebounds to propel his team to a 92-90 win, further proving yW A l t-rvvj 1 Dr. Whiting I if ted in the ," .

Farm Journal. 44 The Chicken" Is A Hit On Sunday, May 17, Ted Giannoulas made a visit to the Durham Athletic Park. Who the heck is he, you ask? Well, Giannoulas hap pens to be the man inside the infamous "Chicken" . that you've undoubtably seen at various sports events on television. This past Sunday, Gian noulas, alias the Chicken, brought his traveling show to Durham and the 4700-plus fans at the Athletic Park loved every minute of it. "I'm really acting out a fantasy," Giannoulas said in an interview before the game. "I told my mother when I was a kid that I would someday wear a . uniform in Candlestick Park. Well, I made it to Candlestick even though it was a different uniform," he said, laughing. Giannoulas, who ob viously enjoys his trade, is a 26-year-old native of San Diego. "1 first started doing the Chicken in April, 1973 when 1 was hired by a San Diego radio station and the San Diego Padres for a promotional gimmick. It was supposed to last for only two weeks and I needed the money to support my school ex penses. I was a journalism major at San' Diego State at the timet Well, as luck would have it, the fans fell in love with my act and I did it full time after I graduated in 1976." Giannoulas, who con- Elson Armstrong, Jr. siders himself a comedian as opposed to a mascot, says that many people mistakingly believe that all it takes is to put on a uniform and jump up and down. "It takes much more than that. First, I'm a sports fan, so I have to know just when its time to perform. I never want to disrupt the game itself." Giannoulas severed his relationship with the San Diego radio station after a law suit a few years ago and he says that it turned out to be the best thing that every happened to him. "They were actually trying to take away my right to make a living as the Chicken and it really blew up in their faces." Both players and fans are quickly caught up in tlvrftm that the Chicken provides. On a day when the bulls ended up on the short end of a 5-2 score against Pen ninsula, the Chicken still managed to keep things hopping. His umpire baiting and hexes on the, Penninsula squad brought roars from the crowd. He also led cheers and strut ted lively to the tunes of "Rocky" and "Whip It!". "1 never take a vaca tion. 1 enjoy what I'm do ing too much. I lve it," Giannoulas said. Giannoulas never ap pears publicly-without his Chicken outfit which has made his private life even, more interesting. - "Several publications have tried very hard to catch me at home out of uniform," he says smil ing. Giannoulas is in high demand all over the coun try and he may appear in the Astrodome one night, Durham the next, and Richmond after that. Giannoulas says that he admires the works of great comedians, but unlike many ofthe stories that he has read about them, he is not an unhappy person in side.
