" Said another Indy official privately: "She hasn't got a chance in that car. In another...
...same sort of "right" is being exercised in basketball. Boston Celtic Coach Tom Heinsohn rushed onto the court recently in an effort to attack an opposing player. During the N.B.A. play-offs between the Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors, Ricky Sobers and Rick Barry momentarily gave up basketball for boxing. Last month hockey suffered a serious disgrace when four Philadelphia Flyer players were arraigned in Toronto on charges of assault and carrying "dangerous weapons" -hockey sticks-during games that resulted in blood on the ice, disorder in the stands and players in the infirmary. Similar Flyer scrimmages have elicited...
