at Hillwood Country Club to help golfers, tennis players and others learn how to more effectively use their muscles. Underwood will discuss principles she has found to help people learn to use their bodies with improved balance of the musculoskeletal system. The results: improved function and less pain. According to Underwood, when one plays golf or tennis the tendency is to develop one group of muscles so that a faulty pattern is amplified. This leads to a fundamental weakness in the muscles that attach to the skeleton.

As a result the back changes its curve and the entire body begins to compensate for the misalignment. Donations at the seminar can be made to the Ronald McDonald House.

If you're in good physical shape but often find yourself gasping for air after just five minutes of exercise, chances are you may be suffering from exercise-induced asthma (EIA) or exercise-induced bronchios- pasms (EIB). In fact, nearly 15 of all otherwise healthy athletes suffer from symptoms of these mysterious attacks.

Early symptoms of EIA and EIB include stomach cramping, coughing and wheezing, and rapid energy loss. More advanced symptoms include experiencing tight burning sensations throughout the chest and severe coughingwheezing fits that make it impossible to continue physical activity. Symptoms usually occur within five minutes and stop soon after exercise is halted. Although a medical cause for EIA EIB still is being researched, there are several environmental conditions that may trigger it. These include air pollution, pollen and cold, dry air.

Because physical exertion causes you to breathe deeper and more often, pollution and pollen can trigger an attack in an otherwise level.

He also broadcast hockey for the New Haven Knight Hawks in the 1985-86 season. "We are very fortunate to already have an outstanding and professional baseball announcer in our organization and I think that our fans will enjoy Steve as the Iowa Cubs and Hunstvile Stars fans have over the past few years, Schmittou said. "Steve is a young person who has all of the capabilites to be a major league announcer as he has very good baseball knowledge and a very pleasant voice." The Nashville Sounds have wasted little time in replacing departed play-by-play broadcaster Bob Jami- Club president Larry Schmittou announced yesterday that he has selected 35-year-old Steve Carroll for the post, vacated earlier this week when Jamison resigned after 12 years to join the California Angels.

'n0-u Donnelly will accept his Tennessee Coach of the Year award as a guest at the TSWA convention in July at the Bent Creek Golf Report nearGatlinburg. By MIKE ORGAN Sports Writer Middle Tennessee State football coach Boots Donnelly has been named the College Foofball Coach of the Year for the state of Tennessee by the Tennessee Sports Writers Association. Donnelly was selected over last year's inaugural winner, Johnny Majors of Tennessee.

There are 13 colleges in the state which have football teams on various levels of the NCAA and NAIA. This past season, Donnelly led MTSU to its second consecutive Ohio Valley Conference championship and a berth in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division I-AA national playoffs for a second straight year. MTSU finished the regular sea- season. Donnelly has coached four OVC championship teams, including one season at Austin Peay in 1977. He has taken the Blue Raiders to the national playoffs four times in the last seven years and compiled a 4-4 record in postseason play.

During his 14 years as a head coach in the OVC, Donnelly has been named the conference Coach of the Year on five occasions, including this past season. MTSU tied Eastern Kentucky for the OVC crown this past season. The Raiders won their first-round national playoff game over Jackson State but lost in the second round at Boise State, 20-13. Because of injuries, MTSU had to use its third-string quarterback in the Boise son ranked No. 1 in the nation.

"Considering all the great coaches across the state, this is certainly an honor," Donnelly said. "It makes you feel good for your staff and your players. "Most media have been in the business long enough to realize the head coach doesn't have a lot to do with a team's success," Donnelly added. "It's the type of staff and players you have and mine are exceptional." Donnelly, 47, a graduate of Father Ryan High School and MTSU (1965), has a 12-year record at his alma mater of 86-51. Over the past eight seasons the Raiders are 69-24, an average of almost nine wins per The telephone number for the Land Between the Lakes fishing report in yesterday's Tennessean was incorrectly listed.

Kramer said he could further on Pitino's statements "because I haven't seen them yet." Kramer said he intends to "look into" the sudden flap whenhe returns home.

Pitino set the chain of events in motion on Monday when hVaid, during a conference "we're playing for championship" heading into the Vandy game i Davis, contacted by The Tennessean at the SEC office in Birmingham and asked about that-statement explained as did Kramer that there is no way UK cn win poor." And playing sports was different, too. Nashville had only one black school. "We were Globetrotters. There was one high school in every city. We went all over Middle Tennessee, to Kentucky, St.

Louis and other places," he said. "We played in the Tennessee Colored High School Athletic Association, and we were pretty good." After high school, Ridley went to Lane College in Jackson and played football and basketball. From there it was on to Southern Illinois for a graduate degree, followed by a stint in the armed forces. His first coaching job was at Alamo Central High School where he stayed for four years before returning to his alma mater, Pearl High School. He won black state high school championships in 1963, 1964 ad 1965 then guided Pearl to its first TSSAA title in 1966 and repeated the championship in 1981.

"Whatever I've won as a coach has been because of one thing I've had good players every year except for 1982, and that year it looked like they were going to close Pearl and our enrollment was really low," Ridley said. "But if you work kids at doing things the way they ought to be done and treat them fairly, you're going to do all right. I've always tried to judge kids on their ability, not how well I liked them personally." Then he added: "We've always played one way the coach's way. You can't be buddies or lovie-dovie with them. When they're through and they come back and can look at you and respect you, then you've had the proper relationship with them.

When they know you've been fair, they can't ask for or expect any more. That's th best any man can offer." And it landed Ridley in the hall of fame. IB game official category will be Brice Hall of Gallatin and E.L. Hutton of Memphis. Honored in the administrators' category will be Tom Fann of Jackson and Milton Basden of Bolivar.

Ridley's induction, though, is the most historic. He follows the late Joe Branch, who guided Bolton High School to five state titles, as the only blacks in the coaches hall of fame. "Old man John Tisdale had a basketball team at Washington Junior High, and gave me a start. I played a little for him," Ridley said. "Then I worked out in Belle Meade for Willie Geny, who had this beautiful trophy he won playing at Van-derbilt.

"As a boy out of North Nashville, I'd stop, and look at that trophy and admire it That gave me a little incentive, too. There were a lot of different things and a lot of different people. "When I was growing up and going to school at Pearl, we had two people who inspired me William Gupton, the basketball coach, and Harry Haslem, the football coach. When I was growing up, high school coaches were idolized. That was always the talk around school what Gupton did or what Harry did' at football practice." Ridley, whose father worked for the railroad, said he did not realize then that he was underprivileged.

"Growing up, we knew we (blacks) were separated, but nobody thought about it They accepted it and went on," Ridley said. "I worked some in Belle Meade and knew we didn't have near what they had, but nobody told us we were poor, socially deprived and those sorts of things," he said. "I had a mother and father and clothes and a decent house to stay in. We didn't know about being tne cnampionsnip. if ii HARLINGEN, Texas (AP) The arrest of a coach for inciting a riot at a basketball game between neighboring South Texas high schools has residents concerned sports fans are taking the rivalry too seriously.

All Harlingen High School Coach Carl Owens did, apparently, was suggest his players follow the traditional practice of cutting down the nets after a championship. No one seems to know why the hostility has heated up between the high schools in Harlingen and San Benito during the past few years. But the incident after last Friday night's final district game of the season, won 77-63 by Harlingen, has some wondering whether the two adjoining cities should stop competing against each other. Harlingen, with about 54,000 residents, is just north of San Benito, with a population of about 22,000, in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Police in San Benito say Owens' action incited a riot after the game played in San Benito.

Four San Benito police officers drove to Harlingen on Wednesday with a warrant on the Class misdemeanor charge, handcuffed Owens and took him to municipal court District officials say net-cutting has been prohibited since last year and police, worried about inflaming the enmity between the competing sides in the stands, say they warned Owens not to allow any net-cutting. "If you see the fire has already started, don't adij gas to it," said Maj. Ovidio Gonzalez, assistant police chief in San Benito. Elder "As far as I'm concerned, the actions of that particular coach endangered the lives and property not only of the players, but also of the people in attendance," Gonzalez said. The shoving and shouting that ensued on the court after a Harlingen player tried to cut down the nets is the latest in a series of tire-slashings, window-breakings, fights, obscenities and vandalism exchanged lately between the two schools.

Confrontations occur "even at the shopping mall," said Mandy Noriega, 1 6, a cheerleader at San Benito. She said she found Friday's incident frightening, but also said the intense rivalry fuels school spirit. "People were throwing punches and stuff," 16-year-old San Benito football player Mario Silva said. "Some went home bleeding." San Benito School Superintendent Miguel de los Santos said people from his city felt Harlingen was taunting them and "trying to rub it in." "It could have been something where people could have been hurt," he said yesterday. He said he hopes to meet with Harlingen officials "to try to develop a long-range plan to become better neighbors." Owens was released Wednesday on a $1,000 personal recnizance bond after appearing before Municipal Judge Frances Flores.

The coach, back at school yesterday, said he doubts the charge will hold up because the nets were never cut and no riot broke out. "It's a personal grudge against our athletic department," Owens said. "People need to learn to keep the proper perspective." He questioned why four San Benito officers were needed to arrest him as he was awaiting word on whether the district University In-terscholastic League executive committee would reprimand him. The committee gave him a private reprimand. The UIL regulates public-school competition in Texas.

"I think maybe we shouldn't play each other anymore," said Rey Jac-quez, 17, a junior at Harlingen High. "All it does is make people mad and stuff." Fans spend the night waiting in line for their annual football confrontation, billed as the "Battle of the Arroyo." Its name comes from the Arroyo Colorado, a stream that runs through southern Harlingen. Harlingen football coach and athletic director Jesse Longhofer was publicly reprimanded and suspended for one game next season by the state UIL executive committee for making an obscene gesture against San Benito during a game last fall. 3 "Rebounding is hard to explain," says Elder. "I play back on the zone a lot and that helps me get a lot of rebounds.

I guess it's mostly) just being in the right place." -nat Elder is the team's second-leading scorer (12.0) behind'" Scott Draud. He is shooting 47.5 from the field including 35.6'irom three-point range and 74 from the free throw line. i "Bruce has had a verygood year," says Vanderbilt Coach Eddie Fogler. "He is a good defender and a goodr-ebounder for his sfze; He is probably the best plaver we have at driving to the basket.".
