Lorenzen Retires
I’ll Never Be Back
In A Race Car’
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (UPI) —
Fred Lorenzen, who won more
money from stock car racing
than any other driver, Monday
night ended five days of
speculation about his future and
confirmed “I’ll never be back in
a race car.”
Primarily because of nervous
tension and ulcers, the 32-year
old Elmhurst, 111. bachelor
businessman said he would
remain with the Ford racing
division although “I have no
idea what I’m going to do,
except stay with Ford.”
At a banquet in the plush City
Club to honor the veteran of
seven seasons on the NASCAR
circuit, Lorenzen said he
wanted to ‘‘quit while I’m
ahead, rather than getting
smoked down.”
No immediate answer was
provided for the obvious ques
tion of who will replace him on
the Charlotte Ford team of
builders John Holman and
Ralph Moody, but speculation
centered on David Pearson of
Spartanburg, S.C., who recently
broke up with builder Cotton
Owens because of financial
budget-tightening.
Lorenzen said he noticed he
had been “slowing down the
past year and a half,” but made
it clear he would still be seen

Coach Johnny Goodrum said
the purpose of the Monday game
was to see what the boys who
will be returning next year look
like. “I was impressed with their
performance at the plate more
than I was with their fielding,”
he said.
The team collected 15 hits and
committed five errors in the
field.
Tommy Phillips started on the
mound, but gave way in the
third to Emmett Dennis becau
se of arm trouble. Dennis struck
out six and walked five.
Fairmont hitters were: Willie
Sherman, two singles and a tri
ple; Perry Smith, three sing
les; Michael Lemon, a double
and single; Charlie Nelson, a
single; Herman Brownlee, two
singles; Jesse Milner, a single;

and Robert Green, a double.
Lemon led the band of thieves
with five stolen bases. Dennis
had four, Herman Brownlee
three; Milner, Horton, Sherman

each.

76ers Surge To Defeat
Warriors For NBA Title
By SCOTT BAILLIE
United Press Internationa!
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) —
The whole ball of wax belonged
to the Philadelphia 76ers today
and it was a great moment for
coach Alex Hannum to do a
little gloating, but he is not the
type.
Trailing by five points when
the final quarter started Mon
day night, the 76ers rallied to
go ahead of the San Francjsco
Warriors and then hold off a
last surge to triumph 125-122
and win the National Basketball
Association crown by a margin
of four games to two.
Wagner Named
Captain Os
Tech Cagers
ATLANTA (UPl)—Guard Phil
Wagner, who as a junior set a
new field goal accuracy record
last season, Monday night was
named captain of next year’s
Georgia Tech basketball team.
The team, at its annual ban
quet, also named departing sen
ior Pres Judy as its captain for
the past season.
Wagner, of Cynthiana, Ky.
led Georgia Tech in scoring dur
ing a 17-9 campaign with 41
points while hitting on 49.4 per
cent of his shots.
Judy set the school’s individ
ual game record when he
scored 40 points against Florida
State.

“This is the greatest team in
history because it won on the
road and that is the mark of a
champion,” Hannum said after
wards while champagne was
sloshed around the victors’
dressing room. But he also
warmly praised the Warriors as
an “Inspired team.”
Comeback By Coach
It also climaxed a smashing
comeback fqr the former
Southern California star who
had been cut loose as coach by
the Warriors after the 1965-66
campaign because he refused to
settle down in this area.
So he took over the 76ers, who
breezed to the Eastern Division
title, then knocked off defending
champion Boston in the division
al playoffs, and then defeated
the embattled Warriors, who
had won the Western Division
playoffs by downing St. Louis.
The victory was worth $3500
apiece in first money for the
76ers and $2500 each for the
Warriors.
The contest was a down-to
the-wire affair which had a Cow
Palace crowd of 15,612 plus a
closed circuit TV audience of
4,483 in Oakland screaming
during the final seconds.
Late Spurt
San Francisco went into the
last quarter holding a five-point
lead and with a good chance of
sending the best-of-seven series
back to Philadelphia for a
Wednesday showdown. But the
76ers’ Bill Cunningham, who
had 17 points for the night,
packed 10 of them into a five
minute burst which helped his
club move ahead 114-109.

Warriors’ Rick Barry, whose 44
points led all scorers, nudged
them back ahead 115-114. But
then San Francisco’s Nate
Thurmond fouled Wilt Chamber
lain, who made good on both
free throws to put Philly ahead
to stay.
The game wasn’t decided,
however, until the final two
seconds.
Barry was fouled by Luke
Jackson with 41 seconds to go
and hit on two free throws to
cut the 76ers’ lead back to a
point. Rick missed a shot from
the side with four seconds to go
after a Warriors time out. Chet
Walker of the 76ers then was
fouled by Thurmond and put in
two free throws which wrapped
it up.
