The Texas World Speedway has
Ibeen bought, and its racing time in
■Texas. Former Indy 500 winners
Ia.J. Foyt, Johnny Rutherford and
iGordon Johncock are expected to
Ibattle ’75 National Stock Car
Ichampion Ranno Stott and four time
National Champion Butch Hartmen
for the checkered flag.
The Texas 500 will begin at 1 p.m.
Sunday, June 6. The competition is
open to all drivers of unlimited late
model stock cars.
An Open House ceremony is
scheduled Friday June 4. Everyone
will be admitted free to the grand
stands for the Open House while
practice takes place.
Appearing at a press conference
last Tuesday, A.J. Foyt said that the
Texas 500 was the finest track in the
Tates Locke is new head
coach of Buffalo Braves
world. He added that it was the fas
test track but also the safest. Foyt,
said to be the “Living Legend”,has
won every major event at least once,
including the Indy 500 three times.
Another attraction of the race is
the entry made by Texan Martha
Wideman. Ms. Wideman, who has
won more than 45 feature events,
should prove to be stiff competition.
Wideman said, “Man, that’s going to
be some big race, but I reckon I can
handle it. I’ve been scared before
and I came through all right. I know
what I have to do and I’m going to do
it.”
Tickets for the event are now on
sale at Townshire Shell Service Sta
tion located on 2100 S. Texas Av
enue. The tickets are $10 unre
served, $15 reserved, and $20 de
luxe reserved. The $5 infield tickets
go on sale Saturday, June 5.

BUFFALO — Tates Locke, a
former college coach who joined the
pro ranks just last year, was named
head coach of the Buffalo Braves of
the National Basketball Association
Thursday.
Locke, 39, succeeds Jack Ramsay,
who Braves owner Paul Snyder dis
missed as coach last Monday, one
day after the Boston Celtics elimi
nated Buffalo from the playoffs.
Hamill joins
Ice Capades
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Dorothy
Hamill, America’s queen of the 1976
Winter Olympics, has signed a two-
year contract to skate with the Ice
Capades, a spokesman said Thurs
day.
Miss Hamill, 19, will perform ap
proximately six months with the ice
show, beginning Sept. 15 in
Pittsburgh.
I have known Dorothy a long
time, while she was an amateur, and
I felt I established a good rapport
with her after meeting her in
Goteborg, ’ said George Eby, presi
dent of Ice Capades.
Terms of the contract were not
announced and Miss Hamill’s man
ager, Jerry Weintraub, declined to
even categorize her salary as being in
the same ballpark with television
newscaster Barbara Walters, who
recently signed a $1 million contract
with ABC.
However, Miss Hamill is also as
sociated with ABC. She has signed
with that network to star in two spe
cials unconnected with the Ice
Capades.
Snyder said Locke signed a two-
year contract, but details were not
revealed.
Locke, a Braves assistant last sea
son, told a news conference that he
had not asked for the head coaching
job and was flattered that it was of
fered to him. He also spoke of his
admiration for Ramsay.
“Jack’s and my relationship grew
deeper than anyone I have known in
recent years,” Locke said.
Locke had 11 years experience as a
college coach before joining the
Braves at the start of this past season.
A graduate of Ohio Weslyan Uni
versity, he first coached two seasons
at West Point and four at Miami of
Ohio before taking at Clemson.
In five seasons at Clemson, his
teams won 62 games and lost 70,

posting a record of 31-23 during his
final two seasons there.
Snyder talked briefly about his
decision not to renew Ramsay’s con
tract, who had coached the Braves
four seasons and guided them into
the playoffs the past three seasons.
“I consider Jack Ramsay a good
coach,” Snyder said. “I think he’s
done a good job here. I just thought
it was time for a change.
Buffalo sports writer had said a
personality conflict between Ramsay
and Snyder apparently led to Ram
say’s dismissal.
Ramsay coached St. Joseph’s Col
lege of Philadelphia for 11 years and
the Philadelphia 76ers of the NBA
four seasons before joining the
Braves in 1972.
