The Australian team won the title six times previously but has been defeated by the Americans five straight years. Austin needed only one hour and 10 minutes to clinch the victory for the United States. She wrapped up her match against Turnbull on the Australian's serve, passing her with a forehand drive down the line on the first match point.

Lloyd steadied early In the second set of her opening match against Fromholtz after dropping the first set 4-6 as the Australian broke the American's service three times. Serving for the second game in the second set, Lloyd rallied to win 11 games in a row, relinquishing only one game in the third set while leading 5-0.

ITALIAN OPEN ROME (AP) Guillermo Vilas of Argentina overpowered 20-year-old -Yannick Noah of France 6-0, 64, 6-4 and won the Italian Open Tennis Championship.

The top-seeded Vilas, twice a losing finalist here, took home the $28,000 first prize with a dazzling display of con? sistent tennis. He never lost his serve in the two-hour match, keeping the Cameroon-born Noah off balance with deft drop shots and hard passing shots from near the baseline. Noah, playing for his first major title against the world's fourth-ranked player, appeared rattled by the noise of the crowd at the Foro Italico. Police went into the stands and ejected three Souths after a toy airplane floated down and landed near Noah's feet.

By ED RICHARDS Daily Press Sports Writer I Menchville's James Wallace will 'take his amazing high jump act to Santa Fe (Fla.) Junior College this Fall. i Wallace has awed fans this year with his ability to leap almost a foot over his head.

The Monarch star, who may fudge a little in listing his height as 5-11, has come close to scaling seven feet in a couple of meets. "I think James is somewhere between 5-9 and 5-11." says Menchville Coach Steve Lewis, Wallace just missed the magic 7-0 mark in winning the recent State AAA Championship in the high jump. He cleared 6-10. then fell short of establishing a meet record by trying to eclipse 7 feet, inch. i Wallace was so excited after winning the title that he forgot his height.

I "Im 6-11." he told reporters while being interviewed He felt more like 90 feet tall. The Monarch flopper shuns a 7-0 psychological block. "I'm going to get it." he emphasizes without the slightest bit of hesitation. "It's a matter of time." Wallace first flirted with the 7-0 barrier at the Norfolk Relays this Spring. He eclipsed 6-10 there before being frustrated.

"I don't know whether James will get seven feet tomorrow, but he'll definitely get it," points out Lewis. "He's a PREP VIEWPOINTS Sub Umpires Do Fine Job student of the event." Wallace plans to stay at Santa Fe two years then join Menchville sidekick Eric Perry at Texas Southern. "Florida's a good area for competition, but I'm mainly going to Santa Fe to get my grades up. I'm going to be a student first, then a high jumper," says the talented teenager. Two ex-Monarchs ran for Santa Fe this year, quarter-milers Troy Sessoms and Charles Ralph.

Another member of Menchville's State AAA championship squad, versatile Mike Nickerson, will be going to the Midwest this Fall. He has decided to Mike Nickerson added a double later in the game. The feat was accomplished at the Kecoughtan Veterans Field where, according to Lawrence, "you had to run out those homers, because there weren't any fences unless you parked one in Hampton Roads." Hampton's biggest booster back then, according to Lawrence, was "Brownie" Berry. He was to Hampton what the late Julian Rice was to Newport News. Peninsula District Umpire Jimmy McCarron doesn't hesitate to name the Ferguson-Bethel game as his easiest job this season.

"Both pitchers (Donnie Collins of Ferguson and Jeff Reid of Bethel) threw strikes. "All I had to do," says McCarron, "was dig In behind the plate. That game reminded me of the one between Greg Guin (Menchville) and Philip Wilson (Bethel) hooked up in about three years ago." Although Collins is a member of McCarr's Warwick Post 255 American Legion baseball team, McCarron claims it didnt bother him to work the game behind the plate. McCarron quickly admits that because Collins is expected to be drafted in an early round next month in the major league draft, It will hurt "I'm happy for him, though," relates McCarron. "Donnie really Impressed me in that Bethel game.

He was so much Improved over last year. His fast ball had velocity." Because Post 255 players come from Ferguson. McCarron was reluctant to work any of their games his first couple of years as an umpire. "I wanted to stay away from any possible criticism. Now, it doesn't bother me on what team I have when I'm umpiring.

"I have a job to do. and I go out there to do the best I can." By RAY HEBERT attend Hutchinson (Kan.) JC on a grant-in-aid. Hutchinson has been a stopoff for numerous Menchville athletes, including track star Mike Ricks and gridders Buddy Cheeks and Jerome Dove. "Mike can compete in anybody's program in the intermediate hurdles," insists Lewis. "He's been instrumental in all the success we've had in the last couple of years.

He can run anything from the 100 to the half-mile." Nickerson boasts times of 14.9 in the 110-meter high hurdles and 38.0 in the intermediates. He was fifth in the region in the intermediates. The 5-foot-5 dynamo has been a member of several scintillating Menchville relay teams, including the school record-holding contingent in the 440 relay that logged 42.0 last year. Nickerson ran on the Monarchs' State championship mile relay team indoors this Winter. "His forte in college will be the 400-meter intermediate hurdles." says Lewis.

"His next-best forte will be intestinal fortitude. He's a tough cookie." Islanders Complete Full Cycle UNIONDALE. NY. (UPI) Eight years ago, when the New York Islanders were created in helter-skelter fashion, they were the butt end of all sorts of puckish humor. After all.

what else is there to do but laugh at a team which set all kinds of records for futility by losing 60 of 78 games? Well, the big joke now has come full cycle and today the Islanders reign as Stanley, Cup champions. And they achieved it in a most dramatic fashion, scoring in overtime of the sixth game Saturday to beat the Philadelphia Flyers 5-4. Fittingly, the only two survivors of that first 1972 Islander team played major roles in the cup clincher. Billy Smith appeared in 20 games, equalling the play-off record for goaltenders and Lome Henning assisted on the sudden-death goal scored by Bob Nystrom. "It's been a long road for us as a team," Smith said.

"Am I ever glad it's over now. What a sweet victory." In contrast to Smith and Henning, Ken Morrow joined the club barely In time to reap the glory, and the glory he knows Is unique in hockey history. Exactly three months earlier on Feb. 24, Morrow won a gold medal as a member of the United States Olympic team at Lake Placid. Never before has an Individual shared In both an Olympic and Stanley Cup championship, and Morrow experienced this ultimate double high In the same season.

It seems these two gentlemen offered their services as umpires during a Bethel-Denbigh junior varsity game recently when regularly-assigned umpires failed to show. Despite the fact that each had a son playing for each of the teams, their officiating was excellent.

Reports have It there wasn't one hitch in the game. Phoebus football player Ivan Davis will attend the University of Virginia with an academic scholarship. The 5-foot-8 cornerback. who will try to make the Cavalier squad, plans to major in law. "He's the kind of a kid that you draw up on paper" says Phoebus Coach Phil Smith.

"He's one of the finest young men I've had the privilage of coaching." Cited as the outstanding defensive back two years in a row for the Phantoms, Davis was used spar-ringly on offense. "He was Derek Jenkins' backup man at tailback." reveals Smith. Jenkins was an District selection. "If he had been at some other school," claims Smith. "I'm certain that he would have played on offense." Mike Stevens and Scott Nault of Kecoughtan were in a class by themselves this past Peninsula District baseball season.
