Russell Is Ready- Boston Celtics guard Bob Cousy (right), Little Mr. Basketball" to many, and considered by some as the greatest playmaker of professional basketball, examines the "wingspread" of the hands of teammate Bill Russell here today at a luncheon. Russell is a certain starter tonight in the East-West All Star ninth annual game of the National Basketball Association. Cousy is a doubtful starter because of knee injury suffered last week in St. Louis. Decision on his playing will be made before game time tonight.
