B2 CASTLEGAR NEWS, May 13, 1981 Boston Celtics take the lead BOSTON (AP) — The real Boston Celtics, those men in green-and-white uniforms who run hard and rebound ferociously, finally came to play. After posing for nearly three weeks as a mistake- prone group that stuggled to unleash its running game and dominate the boards, the Celtics resurfaced last night. In a game they controlled from the first quarter, the Celtics raced away from Houston Rockets 109-80 to take a 82 lead in their best-of-seven National Bas- ketball Association chamion- ship series. The Celtics can wrap up their 14th NBA title in Houston on Thursday night. If the Rockets bounce back from their second decisive defeat of the series, the sev- enth game would be here Sunday. Boston led 34-19 after the first quarter, when five of tholr 14 baskets came on fast breaks. The Celtics held a 18-7 edge off the boards in that period, with 10 rebounds off Houston misses. “I think it was just de fensive rebounds,” said Bos- ton forward Cedric Maxwell when asked what shifted the running game into high gear. “They didn't get back on defence that quickly and so they were at a disadvantage on our end of the court.” SNARE REBOUNDS The Celtics held a 64-41 rebounding advantage for the game and snared a serles-high 85 defensive re- bounds to prevent second shots by Houston. Boston hadn't played a solid game with running and rebounding spurts since April 22, when it defeated Philadelphia 116-99 in the second game of the Eastern Conference final. Even when the Celtics won the last three games of that series, they had to battle back from big deficits. As in their easy 94-71 win Saturday in the third game with Houston, there was no need for a Celtic comeback last night. Their smallest lead after the opening quar- ter was 12 points. The lanky Maxwell had his best offensive game of the playoffs. His 28 points set a career playoff high and his 16 rebounds tied one. Moses Malone led Houston with 20 points, but had only 11 rebounds, his lowest total of the series. - LET MALONEGO “He's going to get his 20 points and 16 rebounds,” Boston centre Rick: Robey said of Malone. “So what you try to do is contain the other players and we did that.” Guard Tom Henderson was the only. starter to score more than his series average. The Rockets’ last lead was 14-18. Then) Larry Bird’s jumper kicked: off a 19-1 burat in which Boston centre Robert Parish, who finished with 18 points, scored eight and blocked a shot to set up a three-point play by Maxwell. - WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) — Jackie Stewart of Scotland raced here. So did Emerson Fittipaldi of Bra- zil and the late Peter Rev- son of the United States. . Thousands came to this sleepy village in upstate New York each October to see scores of fine drivers from around the world pilot their Formula One race cars in the annual Watkins Glen Grand Prix. The great Graham Hill of Britain was injured here in acrackup in 1969. Francois Cevert of France won the race in 1971, then was killed when his car crashed into a steel barrier along an S-shaped curve known as “the esses” in a tuneup for the 1973 race. Helmuth Koinigg lost his life during the 1974 race when his machine plower into a barrier at another curve. | : Now, because of the track's financial difficulties and other problems, the q race has been doomed. | Track dropped Federation Internationale du Sport Automobile (FISA), the Pari-based or- ganization that snactions international auto racing, has dropped Watkins Glen from the 1981 Grand Prix schedule, depriving the course of its premier event and most profitable racing weekend, BEGAN IN 1948 The first race at Watkins Glen was in 1948, The dri- vers, all amatours, raced in the streets in those days. In 1952, a car flew off course and killed a spec- tator, ending street racing. The following year, the promoters took their race outside the village, and the cars raced over a seven- kilometre circuit of town and country roads. Races continued there until 1956 when a closed- circuit track was built near the site of the present ~ Grand Prix course. The races still were for amateur drivers until 1958, when the Glen landed its J 7_> from schedule first pro race — the Inter- national Formula Libre. One Formula One car, the type cars used in Grand Prix racing, was in the race. The number of Forula Ones entered went up in both 1959 and 1960, Fi- nally, in 1961 FISA awarded the Glen its first Grand Prix race. By then, the course was 3,7 kilo- metres of sweeping curves designed for laps of 160 kilometres an hour or more. In 1971, the course was expanded to its pres- the racing teams. The Formula One-Con- structors Association came to the rescue. FOCA, an . organization of racing teams and drivers, loaned the Glen the cash to pay the prize money. FISA then gave Watkins Glen until May 1 to pay off the debt. When the Glen failed to meet the deadline, the 1981 - Grand Prix was cancelled. ‘The Glen, which ownes |. more than $2 million to . creditors, has come up witha plan totry toregain | ent of 6.8 kil- ometres with.11 turns. DEVISED PLAN The Glen seemed in dan- ger of losing the Grand Prix in 1980 but came up with an improvement plan Vic Franzee, chairman of ° the Schuylér County In- dustrial Development Agency that formally owns the track, said the plan was for the Glen to pay FISA in full on an i basis. that won FISA app: 1 The race went on.

Most of that income was to be der- ived from gate receipts. ‘Local track team wins 13 events The Stanley Humphries Track Team competed in the Kelowna Invitational Track Meet on Saturday.
