For Endurance? When a new endurance record is set in the National Basketball Association it may be that a teammate of the current record holder will perform the trick. The current standard is 706 suc­ cessive regular games, held by Dolph Schayes. Dolph, shattered Harry Gallatin* record, before having his own string broken December 26, 1961 when he was Injured in a game in Boston. The longest current streak is possessed by Johnny Kerr, the Nats’ fine pivot performer. On Christmas Night in New York, Kerr played in his 625th sue cessive game. Thus, if Johnny can stay in action, it would be about a year from now when he would reach a new record. Now in his ninth season with the Nats, Kerr has never missed an exhibition, regular season or play-off game. Wife Sees Machen - Out Soon NAPA.
