Eagles, Girls Beat Therrell;
Play Pike County High Tonight
The Griffin Eagles take a br
eak from tough region competi
tion tonight to travel to Zebulon
for a non-conference game with
arch-rival and neighbor Pike
County.
Although the game has no be
aring on league standings, both
clubs consider victory very im
portant.
Pike and Griffin have met tw
ice.
Griffin edged the Pirates 62-61
on Dec. 1.
The Pirates revenged the loss
by eliminating the Eagles from
the Flint River Tournament.
Pike County school officials
are expecting an overflow cr
owd.
The Eagles warmed up for the
big game Friday by whipping
Therrell, 58-47.
The Griffin girls walked on
Therrell 53-28 after leading 29-9
at halftime.
The boys game had a couple
of strange twists to it.
Griffin started as if to blow
Therrell off the court.
However, the Eagles hung up
on 28 points and Therrell chop
ped away at the lead.
The Atlantans scored the last
six points in the second quarter
to trim Griffin’s 28-16 lead to 28-
22.
Griffin was ice cold at the st
art of the third, going four min
utes without scoring. Meanwhile,
Therrell was cutting down the
edge. The Panthers caught up,
tying the score at 34-34.

played Talbot County.
Ford’s Take Pole
For Daytona Run
By CHARLES S. ALDINGER
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(UPl)—Fords own the pole
positions, but the favorite’s role
rests with four new Porsches
today in the grueling 24 hours of
Daytona auto race.
One of the 2.2 liter Porsche
907’s—first over two-liter cars
ever built by the famous
Stuttgart factory—is expected
to be front Sunday at 3 p.m.
when the race ends.
A Ford GT4O, driven by
Jackie Ickx of Belgium and
Brian Redman of England, set a
qualifying record of 179.37 miles
per hour Friday to take the
inside front position for the
starting flag. Right behind at
117.2 MPH was another GT4O
piloted by Paul Hawkins and
David Hobbs.
With Ickx at the wheel, the
blue Ford entered by the
Mirage team of England broke
the old track qualifying record
of 119.165 set by a Ford Mark II
here last year over the twisting,
3.81-mile International Speed
way track-and-road course.
But almost leisurely, the
ghost-white Porsches took the
3rd, 4th and sth starting
positions with speeds ranging
from 116.92 to 114.14 MPH.
Thus the four big Porsches,
shooting for the German firm’s
first overall world racing
championship, are in perfect
position to try to run the faster
4.7 liter Ford into mechanical
difficulties.
“I think,” said Porsche racing
team leader Huschke Baron von
Hanstein, “we have a pretty
record-holder from the Universi
ty of Kansas, has been named
the top athlete of 1967 by the
International Sports Press Asso
ciation. Three other U.S.
athletes were named among the
top five, including swimmers
Mark Spitz (second) and Debbie
Meyer (fourth), and 220-yard
world record-holder Tommie
Smith (fifth). Skier Jean Claude
Killy of France broke the
American monopoly as he was
chosen third.
GULF 100
NEW YORK (UPD—Dean A.
Chenoweth of Xenia, Ohio, led
21 qualifiers from 12 states and
Canada for the Gulf 100 mile
per-hour outboard motors club
during 1967 with a clocking of
119.536 miles per hour. The one
female qualifier among the
group was 18-year-old Marilou
Beaver of Long Beach, Miss.,
with 110.073 mph.
victory.
Randy Smith scored 24 points
to lead Pike to its win. Donnie
Connell made 15, Wayne Green
13, Allen Connell seven, Ken
Walker six, Harry Connell two,
Charles Pendley two and Wal
ter Logan three.
Reba Middlebrooks and Patri
cia Dukes scored 21 points each
Talbot was ahead 24-20 at half
time.
However, Milner had the state’
top prepster on their side and
Talbot couldn’t stand the pres
sure.
Bobby York, .who is rated the
best basketball player in Geor
gia, led a Milner second half
charge that brought the Falcons
good chance at it. I am worried
only about the Ford; the
Howmet and the Alfas cannot
run with us.”
The much-publicized Howmet
turbine car, which whooshes
around the track almost silently
compared to the screaming
European cars, qualified in 6th
place with a speed of 112.33
MPH.
“We’d rather take it easy and
pace the car right than go all
out and be forced out with
trouble in the first few hours,”
said Ed Lowther, McMurray,
Pa., will drive the car with
veteran pilot Dr. Richard
Thompson of Washington, D.C.
In 7th and Bth places in the
starting lineup were two of four
Alfa Romeo T33s, the first cars
entered by the Milan firm since
it won the costly world racing
crown in 1950 and again in 1951.
It appeared to be the start of
the “Year of the Porsche” af
ter the International Automo
tive Federation in France ruled
in November that prototypes
must have engines of three lit
ers or less — eliminating the
Ferrari P 4 and Mark IV Ford.
The best that defending
champion Ferrari could do Fri
day was 110.97 m.p.h. with a
smaller Dino prototype for the
10th place starting position.

Arnie’s Army
Has Something
To Cheer About
By JOHN LOWRY
PALM SPRINGS, Calif (UPI)
—Arnold Palmer’s “army” had
something to cheer about today
and young pro Tom Welskopf
gave hope to the youngsters as
the $122,000 Bob Hope Desert
Golf Classic went Into Its
semifinal round.
Welskopf, a long hitting
Ohioan who turned pro in 1964
and earned $40,000 last year,
joined the elite circle playing
the soft touch Indian Wells
course Friday and came away
with a 72-69-68—209 total, seven
under par.
Hard - Charging Palmer
brought cheers from the faithful
at Indian Wells by carding a 33-
34 for a 72-70-67—209 to boost
his stock in the 90-hole
marathon with the tie for first.
Weiskopf led at this same
point last year with a 210 but
faltered on the final two rounds
and tied for 48th place.
Palmer hit 17 greens. The
only one he missed he “Almost
killed a Marine. It went 40 or 50
yards and glanced off his chest.
It really didn’t hurt him too
much, but if it had hit directly
it would have.” The Marine, a
Vietnam veteran, was working
as a marshal on the course.
Palmer bogeyed the hole.
At six-under-par, just a stroke
back, were Chuck Coody with
69-72-69—210, Australian Bruce
Devlin at 71-67-72 —210, young
Bob McCallister carding 71-71-63
—2lO and Gay Brewer with 72-
69-69—210.
Billy Casper also was at
Indian Wells and came in with a
69 including an eagle. He might
have fared better but for a fan
who started a rock slide as
Casper was on his backswlng.
“It sounded like a whole
mountain was falling,” said
Casper. “I finished and shanked
the ball to the right and had to
tee off again.”
The field will be cut to the
low 70 and ties after today’s
round and the finalists will play
at Bermuda Dunes before a
national television audience
Sunday.
Gen. Eisenhower will present
the classic winner with the
Eisenhower Trophy and Bob
Hope will deliver the $20,000
victory check and keys to a new
car to the winner.
