will all be tough.
Coach Jones said the double
overtime game in Griffin was
one of his team’s worst. He said
his boys are up for the game to
night and will be going for t h e
victory.
“We have six games left to
play and five of those are region
games. We must win them all
to be seeded in the region tour
nament,” he said.
“Lanier High school of Ma
con is the only non-region game
we have left on the schedule.
The Lanier team is seeded ab
out seventh in the state,” Coach
Jones said.
He said Griffin High is playing
one of the toughest schedules in
the state.
Coach Jones said he is n o t ex
pecting a double-overtime game
like the one in Griffin, but is ex
peeled to have a tough time
handling the Grey Knights.
Coach Jones said his Eagles
have got to that point of the sea
son where each game is a must.
“They are all going to be real
tough, but our boys are going to
be up for them,” he said.

Tragedy Mars Race
For Woman Driver
By BONNIE TUCKER

MAR DEL PLATA, Argentina
(UPI)—Rosadele Facetti could
have been a weman of grace in
the traditional Italian sense,
devoting herself to a life as a
housewife or in business.
Instead, she felt the better
life consisted of eating dust,
breathing exhaust fumes and
driving a tiny racer at 65 miles
an hour around dangerous
asphalt curves,
Miss Facetti, 21, came all the
way to this coastal city of
142,000 people, located on the
Atlantic Ocean 200 miles south
0 f Buenos Aires, to participate
in the month-long Gran Premio
Internacional. This series of
races for Formula Three cars
marked her first time in a
small open car on a closed
track.
Onlookers Killed
It also marked tragedy for
many spectators when two
crashes on Sunday took three
lives and injured another 50
persons, 23 of them seriously.
Miss Facetti, who lives in
Milan, was involved in the first
crash and although she suffered
only minor injuries her car
knocked down a dozen or more

control, killing one person.
On the 18th lap of a 25-lap
race, the Italian girl moved into
a series of zig-zag curves
alongside Charles Crichton of
Britain, who was driving a
Brabham. Miss Facetti lost
control, spun off the track and
crashed through a stone wall
into a packed standing area for
spectators.
Police had to use tear gas and
dogs to clear the track of the
panic-stricken onlookers.
Another Accident
Dozens of spectators were hit
by the car and Martin had to be
pried unconscious and bloody
from the wreckage of his car.
He underwent emergency surge
ry Monday and his condition
was described as "extremely
critical.”
Prior to the tragic day, Miss
Facetti had said that racing to
her was a great tranquilizer.
“Some days I wake up in a
bad mood, but as soon as I get
behind the wheel the bad humor
passes,” she said. “When I’m
waiting for the start of the race
I am very moved, like a little
girl. But as soon as I am in the
race, I become very cool.”

Celtics Chop
76ers Lead
To 6 V 2 Gaines
By United Press In*emational
The Boston Celtics are just as
adept as being the hound as
they were at playing the hare.
Boston, accustomed over the
years to leading the pack in the
Eastern Division of the National
Basketball Association, this
season is in the unfamiliar role
of doing the chasing. The
Celtics just may win the hunt.
Paced by a brilliant fourth
quarter scoring spree by John
Havlicek, the Celtics ripped the
San Francisco Warriors 121-108
at Greensboro, N.C., Monday
night to register their 10th
consecutive triumph.
One week ago today Boston
trailed the 76ers by an imposing
10 games. Philadelphia since
has lost two of three starts,
including one to the Celtics, and
its first-place lead has been
reduced to a more manageable
6 1-2 games.
Havlicek scored 17 of his 26
points in the final period as
Boston pulled away for an easy
victory. Sam Jones of the
Celtics and Rick Barry of the
Warriors shared game scoring
honors with 32 points each.
In the only other game played
Monday night, the St. Louis
Hawks padded their second
place position in the Western
Dvision by beating the Los
Angeles Lakers 106-99. St. Louis
now leads the third-place
Lakers by three full games.
Len Wilkens led the Hawks
with 28 points and Zelmo Beaty
added 26. Game honors went to
Jerry West of Los Angeles with
33 points, 21 of them in the
second half.

said Burke. “It is consistent
with our objective of making
baseball as attractive as
possible, of giving the fans a
sense of occasion when they
visit the atsdium. The new look
will have a strong visual
impact, underscoring the classi
cal features of this tradition
steeped park.”
Burke, who replaced Dan
Topping in the key front office
position at the close of the 1966
seasn, said that the park -will
be completey repainted inside
and out, a new sound system
will be installed, bleacher seats
will be rebuilt, and the lobby
will be, improved.
Other changes will include a
completely new field and
modernization of the dugouts.
Scheduled to be removed is the
first row of seats around the
outfield, thereby eliminating fan
interference and cutting down
on the number of ground rule
doubles caused by the overen
thusiastic customers.
In line with the emphasis to
be placed on tradition, a
telephonic “Hall of Fame” will
be installed in the lobby
whereby fans will be able to
pick up telephones and hear
voices of former diamond
greats. On duty in the lobby will
be hostesses who will assist
fans.
