PAGE WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 1975 THE MORNING HERALD THE EVENING STANDARD Pittsburgh Triangles Pay A Visit by 11, J. Cloud It was fantastic! Sitting next to me was a tail, slender girl by the name of Rayni Fox. Rayni, who was just 19 years of age May 24, was watching two other female tennis players volleying on the tennis courts at Nemacolin Inn. Everyone there was quite aware of who these three lovelies were. They were members of the Pittsburgh Triangles World Tennis Team.

They had come, along with two other members of the team," Kim Warwick and Vitas Gerulaitis, for exhibition matches at Ihe inn ami to become acquainted with persons in this area. The three girls laughed and joked and made spectacular shots and clowned a little. They seemed to just be enjoying an afternoon of tennis. It was hard to believe (hat just the night before they had performed before their largest home crowd of the season in the Pittsburgh Civic Arena. It is estimated that 8,000 persons filed in to see this remarkable team of tennis players.

Those of you who are avid tennis buffs easily recognize names of all top tennis players, but even for those of us who are not a well versed we remember the name of Margaret Court. She, unfortunately was beaten by hustler tennis player Bobby Kiggs in that much publicized match seen on television. Here I was at the Nemacolin Inn watching the Triangles' women's doubles team of Evonne Goolagong and Peggy Michel, who the night before had quickly defeated the Hawaii's Ms. Court and Helen Gourley in the opening match. In the women's singles Saturday night Goolagong had won her first match in three World Team Tennis meetings this year against Ms.

Court by prevailing 6-4. The Pittsburgh Triangles had just returned from a grueling trip on the road, returning to Pittsburgh after winning eight straight games. They are in second place at this writing. They were tired but happy at the Nemacolin Inn. The members of the team were invited by Rockwell International Corp.

officials to put on a tennis exhibition, do some of their warmup training and relax between World Tennis League matches. This is exactly what they were doing. The girls were genuinely enjoying themselves as well as pleasing the watching audience. "There is no pressure on us here and we can still get in good practice," Rayni Fox, youngest member of the team, said, sipping a little juice after her match. Following their warmup match, Evonne Goolagong and Peggy Michel, sitting behind, were in good form.

"This is the best I have ever felt," Evonne admitted. "1 just feel at my peak and most of this I credit to our trainer, Paul Denny." Peggy agreed. When I talked with Paul Denny, who has been with the team for about a year and hails from Sydney, Australia, he did admit he was proud of his team. "They must keep loose, so the first thing i do are loosening up exercises. Of course they haven't ha any exercises today because they played last night and are playing today.

But we do have a routine because when they get' on those courts I don't want them cold. I give them quick stretching exercises. In case there is some tightening there is the massage. With correct exercise you will find there are much fewer injuries to the players."

MAIN UNIONTOWN Admission S1.00 TICKETS SOLD AT DOOR He cited an example in the unfortunate accident that befell John Newcombe, one of the world's top men's singles tennis players. "John had been sitting on a plane for I don't know how many hours," Paul said, "and that is no good for the legs, which could account for his tearing the cartilage in his right knee Saturday night. He probably didn't have a real chance to loosen up." Paul chuckled when he told of Mark Cox, the sixth member of the Pittsburgh Triangles team, who, because of another commitment, was unable to get to Nemacolin Sunday. "Mark complained to me one day about the exercises." Paul said. "You know what your exercises have done? I can't walk down a street anymore.

I always feel like Vic Edwards, the world's most respected tennis coach, is coach for the Pittsburgh Triangles. He runs the world's largest tennis school located in Sydney, Australia, servicing 4,000 pupils a week. His prize pupil is Evonne Goolagong, who, now 23 has a remaining goal she hopes to fulfill this year. It is not the Grand Slam, because with team tennis, to which she is loyal, time does not permit her to participate in all four tournaments. She feels team tennis has improved her play.

"I'd like to win the U.S. Open at Forest Hills," she said quietly, demurely with her Australian accent. "We like working as a team," said Peggy Michel, to which young Hayni added, "And we have all learned a lot and it's just great." Peggy Michel, Evonne Goolagong and Rayni Fox relax at Inn after tennis match.
