REPUBLIC MAIL Jean regains Wimbledon title Satunlay, July 8, 1972 Goolagong outclassed in straight-set defeat Associated Press WIMBLEDON. England Billie Jean King outstroked Evonne Goola-pong 6-3, 6-3 in a tame tennis final yesterday and regained the Wimbledon women's singles crown after four years. A victory in the men's final today by Stan Smith over Romania's Hie Nastase would give the Americans a sweep of the singles crowns. The women's final lacked atmosphere and excitement and offered little high class tennis. But Mrs.

King, 28. from Long Beach, said it meant more to her than any of her three previous Wimbledon triumphs. "Its difficult playing a Wimbledon final," she said. "You don't have to play great tennis. You just have to be better than your opponent." I fx yesterday's encounter was all anti-climax.

The pattern was set from the start. lrs. King held her service in the opening game despite two double faults. Miss Goolagong then lost her service after netting three ground strokes. Mrs.

King took her lead to 4-2 before the Australian showed any sign of her best form. Miss Goolagong then broke back, but Mrs. King had cruel luck. The American, leading 40-30, served what most of the crowd thought was an ace. The linesman called it out.

Even Miss Goolagong looked unhappy about it, but she hit a winning backhand return' on Mrs. King's second service and then produced two more good backhands to win the game. Just as Miss Goolagong seemed poised to get back into the match, her form struck rock bottom. She poked her racket at a high ball that looked to be going out and lost her chance of leveling at. three games all.

Mrs. King lured her opponent forward and Miss Goolagong made three errors to lose the game. Mrs. King held her service to love and won the first set 6-3. The second set went to 3-3.

with neither player getting more than a single point against service at any one game. In the seventh game Miss Goolagong led 40-15, when suddenly Mrs. King produced a stream of winning volleys and broke service. At this stage Miss Goolagong's fnl Associated Press title at Wimbledon. Mrs.

King defeated Evonne Goolagong, right, 6-3, 6-3, to regain the title.

King played efficiently, though not as well as in earlier rounds. Miss Goolagong was frequently off target with her first service and lost many points on her soft and vulnerable second service. A crowd of 15.000 on Wimbledon's center court watched the match quietly. Hundreds of them, in the standing areas, had camped all night on the sidewalks outside the All-England Club. The fans had hoped for a repeat of the dramatic semifinal of two days ago when Miss Goolagong came from behind to beat 17-year-old Chris Evert of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

But after that epic, trials Middle Tennessee State, hurled the shot for third place. His performance was the eighth longest of all time and the fifth best effort ever by an American. All competitors in the shot put finals will start even today, since no qualifying marks carry over into the finals. The year's best shot putter, Al Fctir-bach of the Pacific Coast Club, also made it into the finals, but said he was having pains in his right wrist. Oldfield.

considered the happy-go-lucky fellow among America's shot and discus throwers, laughed it up after becoming history's eighth longest shotput-tcr. "It felt good." he said of his toss. "I had to put. fear into the hearts of the other guys. I'm coming from nowhere and I want to let them know I'm around." Oldfield recently won the discus at the U.S.

Track and Field Federation Championships and two weeks ago recorded a lifetime best 198-5 in the discus. "I just wanted to qualify, really," said Oldfield. "I've never been to a meet this big. and I just wanted to get used to the ring, the crowd and everything else. Preston Carrington of Wichita, achieved a career Oest in qualifying for the long jump, leading 12 men into the finals with a leap of 26-1 2 In the hammer throw, NCAA champ Al Schoterman hit 229-8 to lead 12 men into tomorrow's finals.

Hal Connally, seeking a fifth Olympic trip, was fifth among qualifiers at 211-6. from third to second and fourth-place Cliff West of the Bay Area Stridors moved to third and into the finals. Tom Von Rudcn, one of America's top hopes in the race, faded badly in the stretch and finished fifth. Even after moving up to fourth, he was still one place from qualifying. The final of the 1.500 today, however, still has Howe, the fastest American and the AAU champion: fast-rising Wottle.

the NCAA champ, and Ryun, who looks back in stride. Ryun, last alter the half mile, assumed command with 500 meters to go in his race by circling the pack coming off the final turn. He led with one lap left and then simply cruised home looking very relaxed. Earlier, Tom Hill blazed to a 13.2 time for the 110-meter high hurdles and showed he has fully healed from injuries the past two years. He won tin1 1070 AAU title.

Other qualifiers included Jerry Wilson, the NCAA champ from Southern California. Charles Rich of UCLA, and Tommie Lee White of the Southern Cal Stridors. The favorites all made it into tomorrow's finals of the dash, but the leader by time was Fred Newhousc, who bettered his lifetime best by eight-tenths of a second. Newhousc, now competing for the Army, ran 41.2, fifth fastest time on record in the event and the fastest time ever recorded at sea level. Wayne Collctt of the Southern California Stridors was the winner of the second heat in 44.8 with world record-holder Lee Evans second at 45.0.

Vince Mathews of the Brooklyn Over the Hill AA was second to Newhousc in 44.8 with John Smith of UCLA third in 45.2. Newhousc, who suffered a serious foot injury early in the season, said he is just rounding into shape. "I ran 45.3 at the AAU meet and I've been working on my start and my kick. 1 think I've got my race back together." His previous lifetime best was 15.0 last ear when he ran third in the National AAU meet, lie was third again this year. World record holder Randy Matson led 12 qualifiers into the shot put finals earlier yesterday, but the surprise performance came trom unheralded Brian Old-field.

Miss Goolagong served to save the match arid led 30-0. But Mrs. King then hit four convincing winners two backhand passes, a forehand across the court and another backhand pass to close out the match.
