B-2 TIMES-REPORTER July 8,1972 OOVER-NEW PHILADELPHIA, OHIO Down the Line Testimonial for Trevor J. Rees Trevor J. Rees, a 1932 Dover High graduate and longtime coach at Kent State University, has already made his indelible mark in the football coaching ranks. Tonight at 6:30 in the Rusty Nail Restaurant at Kent State University, it will be his turn to receive the plaudits when a gala testimonial dinner will be held The 58-year-old Rees, son of Mr. and Mrs.

Austin Rees of 539 Iron Dover, and nephew of the famed and longtime Ohio State coach Ernie Godfrey, will be the center stage attraction as a host of awards and presentations will be made. Rees, in his coaching career at KSU from 1946 to 1963, attained a record of 92-63, tutoring two Ail-Americans in Luke Owens and Dick Merschman, 10 All-Ohio gridders and 65 Mid- American Conference standouts. He also coached Lou Mariano, one of Kent's Little All- Americans. Rees, who played center for Dover and end at Ohio State, also was one of OSU's first Little-All-Americans. After leaving the coaching ranks in 1963 at Kent, Rees took on the job of director of intramurals, a position he now holds.

He is planning to retire and live in Naples, Fla. with his wife, Louise and daughter, Betsy, 15. TONIGHT AT KENT, there won't be any featured speaker simply because the list of presentations and awards is too long. Co-emcees are Rick Forzano, grid coach at Navy and Lou Holtz, coach at North Carolina State. Both played under Rees.

An Ohio senate proclamation from Kent's Sen. Robert Stockdale will be presented along with awards from Kent's Chamber of Commerce, Alumni athletic department and OSU's Alumni to be given by Godfrey. KSU's vice president Mrs. Fay Biles also will make presentations, including three dozen roses to Mrs. Rees and a gold charm bracelet, complete with a charm for every significant happening in the life of Rees.

DON McCAFFERTY, coach of the Baltimore Colts who was an assistant to Rees in the 1950s, will present a large portrait of Rees to be hanged in KSU followed by a champagne toast by Forzano. Others scheduled to attend are Ortho Davis, trainer of the Colts; Frank X. Lauterbur, coach at Iowa; Homer Edington, director of player personnel for the New York Jets, and Trevor's first coaching staff of Carl Chestnutt, Harry Adams and Wes Stevens, along with a host of other friends and former players and coaches. Like Moose Paskert, who played tackle for Rees from 1946-48 then coached under him for 18 years, said: "We've been planning this for Trev since January and it's going to be quite a shindig." Prior to Rees going to Kent, he coached about four years at Shaw High in East Cleveland then entered the Navy, getting his discharge as a lieutenant commander. Somethings 'fishy 9 This is one fish story you can believe almost.

It comes from Bob Bailie, game protector in Harrison County and this is how it goes. Bob was checking fishermen at Tappan Reservoir one day not too long ago when he saw a cow standing in about four feet of water cooling herself. Several schools of small fish were seen swirling in the same area. As Bob watched one school swirling close to the cow a sudden 'boil' developed and a large fish leaped from the water and just barely cleared the cow's back on the way over. Well, we've all heard about the cow jumping over the moon now we know about the fish that jumped over the cow Sure' Bob!

Stan Smith goes after Wimbledon men's crown RAY FOSSE LEAPS IN VAIN FOR RELAY As another Royal run scores Lose 6-3 to Royals WIMBLEDON, England (AP) Stan Smith, the giant U.S. Army corporal from Sea Pines, S.C., tangled today with Hie Nastase of Romania In the finals of the Wimbledon men's singles.

If Nastdse wins, he'll be the first Eastern European player to carry off the title. If Smith wins, it would be the first time since 1955 that Americans captured both singles titles. That year, Tony Trabert took the men's crown and Louise Brought the women's. Billie Jean King already has won the women's title for the fourth time since 1966. She beat the defending champion Evonne Goolagong of Australia, 6-3, 6-3 in a low-key final Friday.

Smith, last year's runner-up and the No. 1 seed this year, started off the gruelling tournament as hot favorite. But Nastase, primarily a clay court expert, has been playing better and better in each round, whereas Smith has been stumbling. Smith himself admitted after his four-set semifinal against Jan Kodes of Czechoslovakia that his confidence hadn't been as good as he'd wanted so far this year. Nastase, the Romanian Army Lieutenant who delights the crowd with his artistry and speed, has been improving with every match.

His semifinal against Spaniard Manuel Orantes was one of the classics of the 1972 tournament spoiled from the academic tennis point of view because the top pros are under contract to World Championship Tennis and were unable to play here this year. Smith's confidence took something of a beating Friday when, together with his Davis Cup partner Erik Van Dillen, of San Mateo, he was easily beaten in three sets by the South African duo Fred McMillan and Bob Hewitt in the finals of the men's doubles. Today will be a test for Billie Jean King as well. She is trying to be the first woman for five years to capture three the women's singles and doubles and the mixed doubles. Billie Jean herself did it in 1967.

With the women's crown already firmly in her possession, she is in the finals of the women's doubles, paired with Betty Stove of The Netherlands, against Judy Dalton of Australia and Francoise Durr of France. And in the mixed doubles semifinals Friday night, she was trying to reach the final, partnered by Clark Graebner of New York, against Nastase and Rosemary Casals of San Francisco. The match was halted by rain with the score at 9-8 and 5-5 in favor of Nastase and Miss Casals. The other mixed doubles Kim Warwick and Evonne Goolagong of Australia and Peter Cramer and Pam Pretorius of South postponed because of the rain. to normalcy "SPORTS CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) Richie Scheinblum, who once played with the Cleveland Indians, gave the Tribe a good demonstration Friday night of the talents that have made him the top hitter in the American League.

Scheinblum, now with the Kansas City Royals, insisted, however, that it was not because he bears any grudge against Cleveland. "I don't think I ever got a good chance when I was here, but I have no grudge against the Indians," he said after slapping three hits, driving in one run and scoring twice against his former team. The slugging outfielder raised his batting average to .340 as he led the Royals to a 6-3 victory. "My problems in Cleveland were simply that I didn't do a good job," he said. "I have no explanation.

I tried as hard as I could, and I always hustled. "But that's all behind me now. All I want to think about is this year and our chances thing." Lou of winning some- Piniella matched Scheinblum's output of three hits in five at-bats as the Royal hitters raked five Cleveland hurlers for 10 hits. Dick Drago scattered seven hits for his seventh victory against seven defeats. Two of the Indian runs came on solo homers by Graig Nettles and Ray Fosse.

Ed Kirkpatrick and Amost Otis homered for the Royals. Marlite nowl 0-4 Marlite upped its mark to 10-4 in Tuscarawas County Class A baseball league play by whipping Carrollton 5-2 Friday night. Ralph Javens turned in a brilliant pitching performance for the victors as he fanned nine batters, walked only one and allowed only four safeties. Randy Shaw was the losing hurler. Ed Beadle paced Marlite's seven-hit attack with a triple and a single.

Dick Steiner collected two singles. Carrollton's Bill Hemming smacked a double. Ryun impressive in victory run EUGENE, Ore. (AP) Jim Ryun pressed his bid for another Olympic berth in the 1500-rneter run Friday night as the world record-holder once again shot from behind in the final lap to collect an impressive victory. The former Kansas star whipped around a tightly- bunched pack for a 54.2-second last lap as he won a heat in 3:42.2 at the U.S.

Men's Olympic Track and Fjeld Trials. Ryun, who set the world mark of 3:33.1 five years ago, left Hayward Field without talking to newsmen. Bowling Green's Dave Wottle, who earned America's No. 1 berth in the 800 meters earlier, also advanced in the race. Wottle was second in the heat won by Jerome Howe of Kansas State, the AAU champion.

Both were clocked in 3:44.7. Howe, who has run the second-fastest 1,500 in the county this year, said "it depends on Ryun and Wottle" if tonight's pace is fast or tactical. History's only 70-foot- plus shot putters have been ranked as the top contenders, but Brian Oldfield may have something to say about who goes to Munich for the Olympic Games. "I'm coming from nowhere and I want to let them know I'm around," the 27-year-old Oldfield said after qualifying for today's finals with a toss of 68 feet, inches. He moved into the 12-man finals with the recorder holder Randy Matson of the Texas Striders, George Woods of the Pacific Coast Club and Al Feuerbach also of the PCC.

Matson led the qualifiers with a 69-0'A, Woods threw and Feuerbach was fourth at Elsewhere in the eighth day of the trials, NCAA champion Larry Burton and Harrington Jackson of Texas-El Paso each won a pair of heats in the 200-meter dash as 16 sprinters moved into today's semifinals. Larry Black, the NAIA champion from North Carolina Central, and Chuck Smith of the Southern California Striders each were clocked in 20.4 seconds, fastest time during the two rounds. In the 110-meter high hurdles, Rod Milburn of Southern University advanced to Sunday's finals with a heat-winning 13.5. However Tom Hill, the Army private formerly from Arkansas State, took away the attention with a wind- aided 13.2, equaling the world record. Major standings National League Pittsburgh New York St.

New York at California, COACH JUNE KEARNEY DISCUSSES CAGE STRATEGY With Mary Kay Laner (L), Carol Comanita, Becky Ziemer, Cassie Elvin 4 Phila ferns attending Girls 9 cage camp may be Ohio's 1st ByKENLAHMERS Times-Reporter Sports Writer "Get back in that zone defense. Watch the screen. Block that jump shot. You're traveling. Foul!" To many of today's high school and junior high girls (and probably quite a few boys), those phrases are meaningless.

But to 22 young misses who have been attending and receiving instruction at the Eastern-Central Ohio Basketball Camp off Rt. 39, north of Sherrodsville, the terms are very common. The camp, operated by Charlie Huggins, coach of the Indian Valley South Rebels, 1972 Class A state basketball champions, has been the scene this week of young ladies learning the finer points of the roundball game. Matter of fact, the camp may have the distinction of being the first-ever organized session for girls in Ohio. Included in the group of girls attending are four New Philadelphia students Carol Comanita, Cassie Elvin, Mary Kay Laner and Becky Ziemer.

Most of the girls come from a 50 to 75-mile radius around the camp's location. Two girls from Cincinnati and several from the Cleveland area are also attending. IN ADDITION to Huggins, Warren Binder, the former mentor of Claymont High and now'head coach of the Coshocton Redskins, and four coaches of college women's basketball teams Maryalyce Jeremiah and June Kearney of Cedarville College, Elaine Dreidame of the University of Dayton and Linda Goldbach of St. Ursula Academy also are aiding with instruction. Coach Jeremiah, who's also serving as the camp's director, and Coach Kear- ney, guided Cedai-ville's women cagers to the runnerup spot in the state women's tournament and a berth in the Midwest Regional tourney last season.

The girls, ages 13-17, have been working out three times each day for the past six days. Drill sessions are conducted daily from 9:15 to 11:30 a.m. and 2 to 2:45 p.m. with games being played from 6:30 to 8:30 each evening. Included in the sessions are shooting, passing and dribbling drills as well as instruction on defensive and offensive patterns.

Videotape recordings of various practice sessions are made so the girls can see what mistakes they committed and they then are instructed how to correct the errors. The gals are housed in one of two dormitories on the campgrounds. When not playing basketball, they enjoy swimming, boating, pool, table tennis and miniature golf. ALL THE COACHES participating in the week's program speak favorably of the increasing development in girls athletic programs. "Basketball, track, volleyball and field hockey rapidly are becoming the most popular girls sports in Ohio's high schools, said Coach Jeremiah.

"Girls enjoy competing in those sports just as much as boys do, so why not give them a chance to do so? "One thing we stress at the camp, though, is that girls must learn to be women and athletes at the same time. As athletes, we don't want them trying to imitate the guys." See GIRLS'CAMP, B-3.
