2-E lOj JlASHyjlLETENN ESSEAN, Sunday, Feb. 20, 1966 ALL-M ETRO 66 TOPS VAUG instance, Litton's Martha Bur-gett, Hillsboro's sensational sophomore Ann Hutcheson and Goodlettsville's Linda Warren are among the top scorers that have come alone in many years and are on the second team. MANY OF these players return next year as do Hibler, Lemley and Bowers off the first-team selections. All first team picks will be presented plaques symbolic of being chosen the outstanding players in the Metro area. been an All-Metro guard," the Maplewood coach emphasized.

Risser, a Epeedy competitor who has made Overton a title contender all year, Is just one of three TENNESSEAN selections to place in the state's top 10 scorers. STRATFORD'S Joyce Lemley, one of three juniors on the team, is the fourth-ranked scorer in the state with a 34.4 average while Wood of Anti-och is ranked 9th with a 30.8 average. Just behind is Glencliffs Pewitt, a 5-9 spot forward, who ha shot and rebounded her way onto the team as By JIMMY DAVY TJONNA Vaughn, Ma- plewood's 1 i-talented forward who last night led her unbeaten team to the Nashville Interscholas-tic League championship, is THE NASHVILLE TENNESSEAN'S seventh NIL Player of "the Year and heads the 1966 girls All Metro team. "Her 29.2 average Is amazing when you consider that she Is often content to shoot only the wide-open shots and pass off to Linda McBroom, who is also a fine player." Pam said. "IF DONNA has a flaw as a basketball player It's that she doesn't shoot enough," Hickman emphasized.

"If she dominated our offense as some forwards do, she'd average near the 40-point mark." Pam says that she believes there is no facet of the name of girls basketball that Donna would not excell. "If she had been a guard, she would have plaque is a first for Maple-wood. SHE WON THE honor In competition with Overton's Risser, who has rolled up a blistering 36.8 scoring average that makes her the No. 1 pointmak-er in Tennessee. Vaughn has the fifth place average among the six forwards on the All-Metro team, but Maplewood coach Pam Hickman has the answer for critics of that.

"Donna Is a tremendously-talented basketball player and most deserving of this honor," Hickman said. "I certainly wouldn't swap her for any forward In the state." Vaughn, a member of THE TENNESSEAN All-Metro team for the second straight year, is the brightest light in a corps of six forwards who own a combined scoring average of 31.3. VAUGHN, A 5-9 Junior who In the 1965 TSSAA girls State tournament was named on the all-star team, is joined at forward on THE TENNESSEAN squad by Sarah Risser of Overton, Joyce Lemley of Stratford, Mary Dell Hibler of Two Rivers, Linda Wood of Antiorh and Glencliffs Peggy Pewitt. Hillsboro't Jinx Demetros, a 5-8 senior, is the only repeater in the defensive selections. The other guards are Hillsboro teammate Debbie Bowers, Hillwood'i Lynn Latimer, Don-elson's Marilyn Gammel, Two Rivers' Suzanne Russo, and perhaps the outstanding guard in the Nashville area, Maple-wood's Sheila Kirkpatrick, Even with a 12-glrl squad, now necessary with the inclusion of the 17th District, many of the NIL's top performers worn relegated to a star-studded second team.

Vaughn's selction as winner of the Player of the Year Glencliff't first All-Metro oirl player. Pewitt it the 11th-ranked scorer with a 30.5 average while Hibler, a great floor player with a 26.5 averaqe. joins Vaughn as the only two girls under the 30-polnt mark. The guard corps is tall and has speed to burn a crew that would be the envy of any team. THE GROUP averages 5-6 in height with Hillwood's Latimer, a second team selection last year; the tallest defender at 5-9.

The smallest is Bowers, a 5-1 hummingbird of a guard who makes ud in floor play what she cannot do in the rebounding department. Russo, Gammel, Latimer, Kirkpatrick and Demetros have in common the ability both to work the boards and to stick to some of the finest forwards ever to play in the Nashville prep league. There was an unlimited number of offensive stars who were given consideration for the expanded first team.

CP) Erratic Charley Pasarell of Puerto Rico fought off one of his familiar lapses yesterday to beat Brazil's Tomas Koch 6-3, 8-6, 5-7, 10-8 and gained the finals of the National Indoor Tennis campionships.

The 22-year-old UCLA senior, son of a Santurce corporation president, will play the winner of the match between Ron Holmberg of Dallas and Cliff Drysdale of South Africa for the title today. The slender, 20-year-old Brazilian, who had beaten too-seeded Dennis Ralston and Rafael Osuna of Mexico on successive days, had no answer for Pa.well's battering onslaught for the last half hour," Doug aid genially over long distance telephone. "But everything's okay now. Jack Kile's on hit way with my tux." Then in typical fashion, Doug gave Kile and others on his Vols' coaching staff part of the credit for the award, first to be presented a football coach in Tennessee by the Jaycees, who began the annual custom two years ago. "ANYTIME a footbal coach receives an award there are so many people responsible for it." Dickey said.

"In my case, the football team, members of the coaching staff and the University administration all had a share in it. "Of course I am highly hon-ored that the Jaycees have seen fit to do this. It is an organization that contributes much to the communities in which its clubs are located." Dickey's dressing problems was not one of oversight, but nf unawareness that the awards dinner was a formal attire. "I JUST didn't know when I left Knoxville that I would need a tuxedo," he said. While Dickey was giving his football team much credit, the man who headed the selection committee, Jeffersoin Davis, of Nashville, was minimizing Tennessee's record of eight wins, one loss and two ties last season.

"Certainly we didn't overlook the fine coaching record." Davis said, "hut the thing that impressed the judges most, they said, was the many thou sands of miles that Coach Dickey has traveled in the last two years to speak to young people's organizations in colleges and high schools for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes." THE JUDGES, all residents of Georgia, were Eddie Parker, of Brunswick: John Lassi-ti-r. Savannah; and AMt Mas-sev. of Gainesville. Picked in addition to Dickey were Shey County Sheriff i William Morns; Oak Ridge Physicist David L. Coffey and Lebanon physician Dr.

Joe F. Bryant. Golfer Improving Afo Formal Attire, Dickey Finds The sports weekly said some of the executives feel that the idea of two pennant races within the league would arouse more interest among fans and increase attendance. The divisional winners would meet in a playoff to decide the World Series representative. A POLL of 10 executives, one from each club, indicated three favor divisional play, three were opposed to it, and four said they were open minded about the proposal.

The Sporting News said original interest in the plan was generated by Gabe Paul, president of the Cleveland Indians, and Lee MacPhail, former president of the Baltimore Orioles. MacPhail now is administra tor of the baseball commissioner's office. "It would be a terrific thing for our league," Paul was quoted as saying. "Two pennant races two champions fighting for a World Series berth. I think it would be very healthy." THE PROPOSAL would place Baltimore, Boston, Cleveland, New York and Washington in the Eastern Division.

In the Western Division would be California, Chicago, Detroit. Kansas City and Minnesota. If such a plan had been used last season, Baltimore and Minnesota would have met in a playoff to determine the World Series participant. Joining Paul in favor of the plan were Jerry Hoffberger, Baltimore's board chairman, and Ralph Houk, vice president and general manager of the ITew York Yankees, the) Sporting News said. "FIRST, IT would shorten the schedule which I'm very interested in doing," Hoffberger was auoted as saying.

"Second, it would keep a tremendous interest especially if we have a race like we had in 1965." But the proposal met vigorous opposition from Charles Finley, Kansas City owner: George Selkirk, Washington general manager, and Calvin Griffith, owner of the Minnesota Twins, the newspaper said. "I don't like the idea at all." Griffith was quoted as saying, "Say you win 110 games in your division and the other team finishes first with 90 wins. Things might not go right in the playoffs and you're not in the World Series. What will the fans think the fans who have supported you all this time?" PAUL WAS quoted as saying he envisioned a schedule of 144 or 153 games with the teams meeting 16 or 17 times during the season. MacPhail was said to have proposed 152 games with clubs playing SEASON STARTS of Dickerson Road, near Good-lettsville.
