...should be the Knicks-Celts again. The Celts will try and run. The Knicks will try to slow down the Celtic running game, but Willis Reed will not get so many rebounds this year. Cowens will be firing fast-break passes all night unless the Knicks find a way to stop him. And Heinsohn's new coaching tactics will pay off especially in the play of Paul Westphal...
After the general debacle on the golf course-won by Miami Dolphin Safety Dick Anderson, who finished near par -the athletes moved to the swimming pool. Boston Celtic Star John Havlicek immediately complained about his lane assignment next to Shotputter Brian Oldfield ('I'll drown in the tidal wave he creates").

In one of several exits and expulsions, he quit the Cabinet in protest against the government's decision to levy a small fee for patients' spectacles and dentures. Partly as a result, Labor was turned out of office in 1951; the electorate bit the hand that...
