Ellen Miller Honored With Robinson Award Sorib Solid W7 W5im AdU ecu vouBiaes'n; iiBD Winners By MIKE DUFFY (Times Herald Sports Writer) 'Beautiful. Just beautiful. Captain Sunshine blew on through for four days and a record 348 entrants played tennis to help make the 14th renewal of the Francis J. Robinson Tennis Tournament one of the most successful ever. And it wasn't just the weather.

People got together, the competition was keen and the tennis was excellent Sunday, finalists in 17 events squared off and provided Port Huron net fans with 11 hours of exciting, and sometimes dramatic, tennis. At the end, around 9 p.m., the trophies were handed out. And the big winner was Ellen Miller, this year's recipient of the Robinson Award. The award is given annually gained a measure of revenge as he and John Dupes whipped Dalrymple and Don Cole 6-3, 6-4. It didn't start out that way, however, as the Lozen-Dupes combination dropped the match's first three games before running off a string of eight straight game-victories.

The tournament's big individual winner was Barb Set-den. She carted off trophies in three events. Miss Selden started off her blue ribbon day with a 6-0, 6-1 win over Samia's Karen Dan-ylchuck in the girls' 14 singles. In her three girls' 14 matches. Miss Selden lost but three games.

Next came the mixed doubles where Miss Selden teamed with Art Smith to capture a 6-0, 4-6, 7-5 win from Dalrymple and Maggie Torn ion. The match was extremely close and proved to be one of the day's most entertaining. Dalrymple offered his usual assault with a deadly weapon (alias: homicidal two-handed backhand) but teammate To-mion was plagued with a ragged net game and the Smith-Selden combination took victorious advantage of it. Miss Selden's final triumph occurred in women's singles where she obliterated June Hicks of Sarnia 6-0, 6-0 and became the youngest player to ever win an adult division in the Robinson Tournament. In the boys' 18 singles, John Dupes laid his style of tennis on the line and won.

A strategy-oriented finesse to the player who best displays sportsmanship combined with talent on the court. Miss Miller, a June graduate of Port Huron Northern, is a selfless, hard-working player who spends enough time at the Sanborn Courts to call them home. Alex Dalrymple, a hard-charging bundle of kinetic energy, wrapped up the men's single title when he downed tournament director Tim Lozen 6-2, 6-2. Lozen was hardly an easy victim, however, as he forced many long games before losing. The win for Dalrymple went according to the draw since he and Lozen were seeded one and two respectively.

In the doubles half of the men's competition, Lozen doubles, teammates Dan Dupuis and Scott DesJardin split up and went at it in the 14 singles. Although Dupuis put forth an excellent effort, DesJardin came out on top with a 6-3, 6 2 win. In the girls' 16 competition. Candy Johnson proved that her brother Glenn isn't the only super-star in the family as she downed Samia's Helen Kukura 8-6, 6-2 to carry off the winner's trophy. Miss Kukura didn't make it back through Blue Water Bridge customs empty handed, however, as she and teammate Terry Salidias upset June Hicks and Joan Chapman, another Sarnia duo, by a 6-0, 6-1 count to take the women's doubles title.

The Magneson brothers. Jerry and Scott, took 8-6, 6-4 sets from Terry Tack and Roger Spalding to win the boys' 18 singles. Karen Danylchuck and Cathy Parrish of Sarnia captured 6-2 sets twice to take the girls' 14 doubles from Kris Cook and Theresa Armstrong. After beating him 6-3, 6-4 in boys' 12 singles, Tim Assaf teamed with Kevin Rafftery to walk off with the age group's doubles trophy by a 6-3, 6-3 score over Jeff and Mark McClelland. Girls' 12 action had Alix Lo-vatt winning the singles and combining with Lori Ferguson to take the doubles.

player. Dupes parlayed his placement brand of racquet work into a 6-4, 6-0 title win over Don Cole, a lanky lefty who was Dupes' teammate at Port Huron Northern last spring. The match was close, especially in the first set when many of the games went to deuce. Throughout, it was a case of Dupes' kid glove treatment winning out over Cole's 1 e-b t-no-cigar power-smash approach. Falling short.

That's the bitter pill Brent Dupes had to swallow Sunday. In the boys' 16 singles, Dupes put up a beautiful battle against top-seed Rick French before losing out 6-4, 6-2. And then in the doubles final of the same age-group. Dupes, along with teammate Steve McCalmon, lost again. And there to claim the trophy was French and his partner Mark Bottrell.

The doubles event was highly emotional with Dupes and McCalmon losing in three sets and the fans in the stands repeatedly losing sight of tennis etiquette as they applauded on missed rather than good shots. In the end it was French and Bottrelt who managed to keep their cool and win 2-6, 6-4, 7-5 after Dupes and McCalmon had led 5-3 in that final set.

Schumacher and the Pride outgunned a Miss Budweiser plagued by a balky engine to win the $30,000 Seafair Trophy Hydroplane Race on Lake Washington Sunday.

Drag-miller also cracked a two-run single in the first to give the Brewers an early lead. Earlier, in the quarterfinals, Don Brewer had edged the Chuck Wagon of Dryden by a 7-5 count. In that game, Drag-miller collected two singles while Jim Porte poled a solo roundtripper in the seventh.

"That's my goal right now, and I have a pretty good shot at it," the ace left-hander of the Detroit Tigers said Sunday after beating the Boston Red Sox 8-2 for his 18th victory.

"The Series was the highlight of my career all right," he said of the three wins over the St. Louis Cardinals which lifted Detroit to the world championship three years ago. "But winning 20 games i pretty important, too. That's what every starting pitcher wants to do. When I'm 60 and sitting back in my rocking chair, I'd like to be able to show people I won 20 games in a season." Lolich has been a top pitcher for the Tigers ever since his first full season of 1964, never winning less than 14 games in a year, but the magic 20 figure has always eluded him.

He won 18 in his 'Clsi'.

Another surprise was comparatively unheralded Charles Campbell of Princeton with a PanAm record 200-meter backstroke triumph in 2:07.1, only one second off the world record of 2:06.1 held by East Gerfmany's Roland Matthe3. The other USA's masculine pool victory was a record 4:09.0 by Southern California's Jim McConica in the 400-meter freestyle.

Canadian CALI, Colombia (AP) The United States, already mightily humiliated in men's basketball, was being scuttled today in another of Uncle Sam's erstwhile Invincible sports, women's swimming, in the waning six Pan American Games. Although the USA had a whopping total of 78 gold medals entering the final week, Its feminine aquatic contingent has yielded gold medals in six of eight events, all to Canada and mainly to blonde Leslie Cliff, remark-a 1 16-year-old mermaid from Vancouver.

By way of comparison, the U.S. lost only two of 15 women's events in the last PanAm at Winnipeg in 1967 and was an all time loser of only nine events since the quadrennial hemispheric show began In 1951. While it was a technical coup by Brazil which knocked out the United States' cage team after the USA swept all five previous PanAm crowns, there was nothing oblique about Miss Cliff's personal sabotage of the U.S. gal swimmers. The versatitle Miss Cliff, already has grabbed three gold medals Sunday night adding the 400-meter individual medley title to the top medallions she previously won In the 200 individual medley and by anchoring Canada's winning 400 medley relay team.

For the seventh straight year Mericka won the title as he shot superb rounds of 69 and 72 In the grueling 36-hole championship final to total 214 for the 54-hole tournament and beat Bob Andrews, who totaled 219, by five strokes.
