By MIKE P.ECHT Associated Press Writer It was indeed a whole new ball game for the Washington Senators, just like they said it would be. 1969. But could even Williams, a former .400 hitter, but never a manager, make it come trie with a team that finished with a 6 record in 1963 and had not reached .500 since 1953? The Senators completed the 65-9- answer Wednesday night when they nudged the Boston Red Sox 2 in their season finale, and finished with 86 vic3-- games over .500. turnabout stunnirg didnt win them any titles, but the Senators must be satisfied with their fourth-plac- e finish, one game behind Boston and four behind Detroit in the East Division. One of the few disappointments came when Frank Howard went homerless in the finale and failed in a last ditch bid to catch Harmon Killebrew for the home run title. Killebrew bashed his 49th homer in the afternoon, enough to all but assure him of at least a share of his sixth title but not enough to keep the Minnesota Twins from dropping a 3 derision to the 10 The i By GEORGE FLKGUGCN Sports Managing Editor If you are a fast break basketball fan, it is rather frustrating to imagine that a hockey penalty known as icing the puck was inserted to speed up the game.

The two defensemen are seldom out of covering position and the goalie always is stationed in front of the scoring zone. Thus, if the offense were permitted to whack the puck full length of the ice, much of the time could be spent with the opposing defensemen or goalies playing a rink-lon- g game of keep away from scurrying forwards. The human action in hockey is enhanced, therefore, by icing and offsides rules which restrict forward passes up the ice. Icing occurs when a team shoots the puck from its own side of the red line over the opponents goal line (not into the goal, of course).
