Racing
to lower

LANGLEY — After an
11-year absence, the Grand
National West (GNW) NAS-
CAR stock car series returns
to the lower mainland for a
160-lap high-banked oval race
July 17 and 18.

The GNW, west coast ver-
sion of the famous eastern
series, last appeared on a
lower mainland autosport fa-
cility in 1974, when a race
was held at 1.8 mile West-
wood road course. But the
series has not been seen on a
local oval track since 1872 —
the first and only time Lang-
ley Speedway hosted the
American racing sedans.

Langley Speedway is now
called Action Speedway
which is where approximate-
ly 20 Grand Nationals will
once again roar in what,could
be the only large race in.the.
Vancouver area this season
— the “B.C, 150.”

The current points leader
on the 1G-race west coast

-eireuit is Jim Insolo of Mis- |
sion Hills, California who won

the 1975 Western Canada
NASCAR road race at West-
wood. Insolo, winner at
Stockton, California earlier
this year, has 200 points and

LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Earvin (Magic) Johnson of
Los Angeles. Lakers has
signed a 25-year ‘agree-
ment for $25 million — the.
richest, longest-running

Buss said Johnson's new

contract does not specify

how ong he must play, and
the assumption is that

Buss made it sound as if he
were getting a bargain.

Golf and tennis are far apart

By Wil Grimsley

LONDON {AP)'— Moving
from the serenity and lei-

vealing experience.

cestors, golf and tennis are as
far apart in‘style and. sub-

Jack Nicklaus and John Mc-
Enroe. . :

Golf is a aport steeped in

with unquestionably the
most gentlemanly and co-
operative competitors in all
sports,

‘Tennis, once regarded as a
panty-waist .pastime played
only by sissies, has been hard
to live with since it busted its
buttons coming into adult--
hood with the explosion of.
the 1960s. |

It has become a ‘cans tife
with arrogance. and conten-
tion, running wild. It got rich
too quickly. With no stern
mamma. and papa, it has
failed to mature in‘ accor-
dance with its.wealth.

It is a game without dis-
cipline and. guidance. Its
players. largely have been
pampered from the moment

they put on their first pair of .

white shorts. A few of the

brightest stars have become

surly and uncontrollabe.

RANT AT UMPS

In tennis the individual has
become more important than
the game. He dictates where
and when he plays, how he
acts on the court and his ac-
cessibility to the press after-
ward.
