Pharos-Tribune, Logangport, Ind. High School Girl Sets Hurdle Mark Sunday, February 25,1979 NEW YORK (UPI) A 16- year-old high school student pushing to become a force in women's track and a 29-year- old "veteran" giving it one more shot at glory were big winners Friday night at the 9lst annual Amateur Athletic Union-United States Track and Field meet at Madison Square Garden. Candy Young, who attends Beaver Falls High School the same school that turned out Joe Namath, set the women's 60-yard hurdles record in the afternoon preliminaries and then equaled that record in the evening final. Later on, Marty Liquori, talcing one more shot at the Olympics, won his first indoor three-mile race, beating Bill Donakuwski in the final lap amid the thunderous cheers of the Garden crowd. "I was trying to run 7.48 and 7.50 wasn't what I wanted," said Young, whose 7.50 bettered Deby LaPlante's 7.53.

"Ultimately, this race will be won in 7.20. The competition with Deby is what keys me up. The rivalry is where my speed comes Liquori was relieved at ending his drought. "It's been a little while," he said. "That last half-mile is getting tougher.

1 would have been disappointed to lose this race. I didn't think the field was that tough. This is the first race this year where I had to win, "This is a rough business. I really want to apply myself this year with Moscow (1980 Olympics) the final The women were the real story in this meet. Oh, Renaldo Nehemiah won again and "Franklin Jacobs was upset, but the women grabbed the headlines.

In addition to the Young feats, Evelyn Ashford and Chris Shea set. world records and Jan Merrill finished a disappointing second in both the mile and two-mile. Ashford's time on 6.71 broke DeAndra Carney's world record in the 60-yard dash. Ashford edged Brenda Morehead, whose 6.72 equaled Carney's old mark. Earlier in the day, Shea covered the women's mile walk distance in 6:58.9 to break Susan Brodock's world mark.

Merrill lost a photo finish to Julie Brown in the two-mile and then to favored Francie Larrieu In the mile. Brown and Merrill each set the meet record at 9:46.1 in the two-mile. Later, Larrieu covered the mile in 4:39.2 to beat Merril! by four tenths of a second. Nehemiah, the University of Maryland star who has already broken five world records this indoor season, covered the 60-yard hurdles in 6.94, a meet record. who will compete in the Atlantic Coast Conference Championships today, didn't appear in top stride against the rather easy competition, with Greg Foster not running.

"1 hit the third and last hurdles but I was very much on top of my pace." Nehemiah said. "I wasn't knocked off balance and I kept my composure. It wasn't such a great start but I was strong enough. "I have yet to peak. I'm motivated now." Jacobs suffered his firstloss of the season, losing to the Philadelphia Pioneers' Benn Fields on the basis of fewest misses.

Jacobs, Fields and James Frazier all set meet marks at 7-4 but each missed his three tries at 7-6 Vi. Fields, who was successful on the first try at each of the first three heights, was declared the winner over Jacobs, who was competing with an injured heel. Two men's records were set Todd Scully in the two-mile walk and the Philadelphia Pionners in the medley relay, Scully smashed his own record by 22.5 seconds in an easy win coming in at 13:40.0 while the Pioneer quartet of Tony Darden, Herman Frazier, Steve Riddick and Bill Collins turned in a prelim time of 2:02.7 to crack the old record by half a second. Riddick put on a good show later, shading defending champion Houston McTear in a dramatic 60-yard dash with a time of 6.14. Meet officials had to be disappointed in what was to have been a "dream Steve Scott scored a narrow victory over Steve Lacy in a sub-par time of 4:01.4.

Scott and Lacy had both cracked the old world record in losing to Eamonn Coghlan at San Diego last week. Dan Ripley won the pole vault competition with Mike Tully taking exams in California. Ripley cleared 18-1 but failed at three attempts at 18-5 which would have broken Tally's 18-5 V4 world record. The top two finishers in each event earned spots on the United States team in the March 3-4 U.S.-USSR dual meet in Fort Worth, Texas. Adams, Argos, S.

Spencer Win INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) No. l-ranked South Bend Adams and a pair of "people's choices," Argos and South Spencer, will carry perfect records into next week's Indiana high school boys' basketball tourney and DeKalb can become the winningest entry of them all tonight. Winner of 21 in a row, DeKalb's scheduled Friday night game at Huntington was postponed 24 hours because of dismal weather conditions. Adams and Argos became 21-game winners Friday night and eighth-rated South Spencer won i'ts 20th without amiss, Cass and Covington were the unbeatens in last year's month-long grind and should DeKalb succeed tonight, it would be the first time since 1974 that as many as four teams survived the regular season without a single defeat. Adams dumped Gary Wallace, 102-70, Leroy Sutton scoring 25 points and Lynn Mitchem adding 24.

The Eagles didn't pull away until the third period, however, pouring in 32 points. "We're going into the sectionals just right," said veteran Coach Dave Hadaway, feeling his Eagles were peaking at just the right time. Argos outclassed Mishawaka Marian, 68-39, while South Spencer rolled over Hancock County, 89-40. Junior center Ken Perry na 17 16 rebounds and Randy "Moose" Taylor added 16 points South Spencer's second win over a Kentucky rival within 24 hours. The other ranking teams also completed successful dress rehearsals heading into sectional competition.

Columbus East finished 19-1; Carmel, Terre Haute South and Michigan City Rogers 18-2. No. 2 Carmel ripped Indianapolis Cathedral, 91-69, behind Rick Sharp's 33 points, tying his season high. It also gave the Greyhounds a nine-game winning streak. Third-rated Terre Haute, runnerup in last year's state tourney, finished with an 11-game winning streak and a 95-45 bust of Owen Valley.

No. 5 Columbus East beat Bedford-North Lawrence, 62-40, for a 10-game string. Michigan City Rogers, rated sixth, drubbed Kankakee Valley, 68-47. Evansville Central, East Chicago Washington, South Bend Clay and Hammond finished their regular seasons earlier in the week. Muncie Central's defending state champions, among the "Big 10" most of the season before slipping to 15th spot, nailed Kokomo Haworth, 64-45, for a 15-5 record.

Among the losses was a forfeit to city rival North, which the Bearcats defeated by 31 points. Surprising- was Plymouth's 45-43 win over South Bend LaSalle, one of four teams considered capable of winning the tough South Bend sectional next week. Four free throws in the final 68 seconds won it for 10-10 Plymouth. A pair of tosses by Ray Pynaert with 29 seconds left the clinchers. Penn, a threat in the Elkhart regional district, beat LaPorte, 73-68, for its eighth consecutive win.

Elsewhere, South Bend Washington rolled over Culver Military, 88-59; Seymour edged Floyd Central, 72-68, and Jeffersonville beat Connersville, 94-65. Jeff Hall was one of the night's top scorers with 35 points in Yorktown's 63-51 win over Daleville. A number of other games were also postponed, most of them until tonight, due to hazardous weather conditions. But for most of the 395 entries in the 69th aiinual state tourney, the next test will come in sectional warfare.

The report released by HEW Secretary Joseph Califano showed women suffered more than 20 percent of these injuries and said that rate will inevitably rise with the growth of women's sports programs. It also showed that young Americans suffered three quarters as many injuries in gym class as on the football field 244,879 to 325,000 and said the physical education figure "was higher than anticipated and suggests that this area also needs more attention in health planning care." "This report suggests that the casualties (of student athletic programs) have reached unacceptably high levels," Califano said. "Many of the injuries the report documents might have been prevented if schools had used safer equipment, if coaches and trainers were better trained in preventing as well as promptly treating injuries, and if participants had been taught safety rules as well as the rules of the game." He said the report is being sent to the chief state school officers and to colleges and universities with the suggestion that they "review their athletic programs to assure that they are as safe as possible." The document showed there were 1,060,279 athletic injuries 14 fatal and lOO.OOO listed as "major" at the 3,800 schools surveyed in 1975-76, the most recent year for which complete figures are available. Males accounted for 824,684 of the injuries, while females suffered 235,595. "The total numnber of injuries to women suggest that their needs must play an important role in health care planning," the report said.

"Assuming that the level of competition in women's sports continues to show its current rapid improvement, heightened competition will inevitably lead to more injuries." Last-Second Shot Gives Badgers Win Bossy Ties NHL Scoring Mark World Cup Skiers At Lake Placid LAKE PLACID, N.Y. (UPI) Something more than a test run of the Olympic course will be at stake this week when the best international skiers resume their World Cup competition. Never has an American won the World Cup championship since It first was organized in 1967, but Phil Mahre of White Pass, currently is running second with a real opportunity to overtake Switzerland's Peter Luescher. "I think the deciding factor is going to be what happens in the two downhills," the 21- year-old Mahre said last week alter capturing the U.S. National giant slalom championship for the third consecutive year.

"I just have to finish ahead of Peter after that. The races are all giant slalom and slalom, and I think I have a big advantage Coincidentally, the first of those downhills will be staged at Lake Placid on Saturday morning, followed on Sunday morning by the giant slalom, which is Mahre's best event. The weekend competition gets under way at noon Friday with the women's downhill. This is the first time that Lake Placid is hosting the World Cup skiers, and all those who have any hope of doing well in the Olympics, such as 1976 downhill gold medalist Franz Klammer of Austria, will be present to test the Olympic run. Mahre, runner-up to Sweden's Stenmark in the Cup standings last year, says that winning the championship "would be the best day of my life." He moved closer to this quest when he placed second to Stenmark in both the slalom and giant slalom in the final European phase of the Cup competition at Are, Sweden, two weeks ago.

At the moment, Luescher leads the World Cup standings with 181 points, followed by Mahre with 155 and Stenmark with 149. Stenmark, who has won the World Cup three times, has removed himself from contention for this season since he does not compete In downhill races, so can't earn more than 150 points. Following the Lake Placid races, all that will remain of the World Cup season are two giant slaloms, one downhill and a slalom. The slalom, to beheld at Furano, Japan, next month has significance of its own since Mahre trails Stenmark by only two points, 109 to 107, and so has a strong shot at winning the slalom championship. "Phil needs to continue skiing the way he has recently to catch Luescher in the overall, but the slalom title is down to just that one race in Japan," said Hank Tauber, who is resigning at the end of the season as director of the U.S.

Alpine team. UNIONDALE, N.Y. (UPI) It didn't take long for Mike Bossy to ease the pressure. The New York Islanders' sensational sophomore right wing scored his 49th and 50th goals of the season the 102nd and I03rd of his NHL career and tied the league record by scoring a goal in his 10th consecutive game Saturday in leading the New York Islanders to a 3-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings. "1 felt a lot of pressure before the game I wanted to get out there and get one right away," said Bossy, who scored 53 goals last season en route to Rookie of the Year honors.

"It was a big load off me when that first shot went in. I realized right away what I had done." At 4:54 of the first period, Bossy directed Denis Potvin's pass from the left point over the shoulder of Detroit goalie Rogie Vachon. "I'll take them any way I can get them," said Bossy. "I think Rogie got a piece of it and it looked like he almost dropped It into the goal. One of the ones I got Thursday night (against St.

Louis) was a fluke, too." Bossy's 103 goals in 131 games is also a new NHL record. The previous mark was held by Buffalo's Richard Martin, who scored 100 goals in his first 178 NHL games. Last year Bossy broke Martin's rookie standard of 44 goals. In scoring in 10 straight games, he tied the 1962-63 record of New York Ranger Andy Bathgate and the 1968-69 mark set by Chicago Black Hawk Bobby Hull. Bathgate scored 11 goals in his 10 games and Hull scored 15 in his 10.

Bossy has scored 12 goals in the last 10 games. "I didn't realize for a second until I fell to the ice that my second goal was my 50th of the year," Bossy said. "Last year, I sweated it out for six games before I got my 50th. It's a load off my shoulders. "I would like to get 62 goals and then we'll see.

There is no way I wanna do anything about Phil Esposfto's 76. If I got that, they'd expect 90 next year." Esposito scored 76 goals in the 1970-71 season and also had other seasons of 68 and 66 goals. Reggie Leach of Philadelphia scored 61 goals In the 1975-76 season and Montreal's Steve Shutt and Guy Lafleur have scored 60. Bossy was recommended to the Islanders by Henry Saraceno, who placed a large picture of Bossy in front of the Islander table at the 1977 draft session. "Saraceno kept insisting that we take Bossy despite reports that he was too light," said Bill Torrey, Islander general manager.

"It's too bad Saraceno passed away a month ago. He would have been very happy with what Mike accomplished today." EVANSTON, 111. (UPI) To put it mildly, Northwestern Coach Rich Falk had doubts about a last-second shot by Wisconsin's Claude Gregory that lifted the Badgers to a 72-70 Big Ten victory over the Wildcats. "I don't see how a guy could get the pass, turn around and still have time to shoot all within one second," Falk said, referring to Gregory's 40-foot desperation jumper at the buzzer Saturday. "We certainly have an honest timekeeper." Northwestern had tied the game on a layup by Mike Campbell with one second remaining.

Following a timeout, Wisconsin put the ball in play under the Northwestern basket. The inbounds pass went to Gregory near mid- court. He turned, dribbled once, took a large step and put the ball up all in one second. "It was an unbelievable finish to an unbelievable game," Wisconsin Coach Bill Cofield said. "We haven't gotten a break all year, and it was about time." "It was a hard-fought 40 minutes and it came down to one play.

We had a play set, and that was it. It went exactly according to design."
