has
received
permission
from
the

executive
to
diflband
and
retire
from

Retirement
of

brings
to

marked
by

10

offset
by
only
one
loss
during
the
first
half
of
the
league
schedule
but
which
in
latter
days
was
buffeted
by
intra-league
ciltlcism
and
fan
unpopularity
that
sorely
tried

of

made

members
of

however,
on
grounds
that,
since

it
would

The

brought

How
to
conduct
the
play-offs
in
the
senior

basketball
league
now
that
99
Taxi,
winners
of
the
first
half
of
the
schedule,
have
disbanded,
puzzled
Basketball
Association
officials
this-week,
but
they
finally
found
an
answer
which
they
accepted
tentatively.
The
play-off
will
be
conducted
on
the
basis
of
the
results
of
th?
second
half
of
the
schedule
and
probably
will
result
in
the
two
lower
teams
of
the
three-team
league
meeting
in
a
semi-final
series
which
wjil
qualify
the
top
team
to
meet
the
league
winner
in
a

series.
