1 P'm'P Section The Racine Journal-Times Tuesday, June 6, 1972 i It- was Inevitable. Women's 1 lib has come to the Lighthouse Trophy. -I. With girls varsity sports growing in popularity both here and elsewhere in the I Dairy State, athletic directors lot Park, Horlick and Case schools jointly announced today that three of them will I count in the 1972-73 scoring. '-The three are swimming, gymnastics and track the girls' sports presently sanc- tioned by the South Shore Conference.

Racine's Chamber of Commerce sponsors the Lighthouse Trophy, symbolic of athletic supremacy among Racine's three public high, schools. 10 Boys' Sports Boys' sports which will continue to figure in scoring are football, cross country, basketball, wrestling, swimming, gymnastics, baseball, tennis, golf and track. With six points available in each of 13 sports, a perfect score now would be 78. "The girls think the Lighthouse Trophy competition ia great and I Jbelleve they will recognize Its added said Sylvia Krause, Case High girls track coach. "After all, they feel pressure and get nervous before meets just like the boys do." Mrs.

Krause commented that girls' athletics have made great strides In the Racine high schools in recent years. "The hardest part," she said, "has been getting some girls to realize that they must make sacrifices in order to participate In sports. But gradually they are learning that they can't miss practice If they have to baby sit or have too homework." Clarify Rules The athletic directors also clarified scoring rules. City meets will be used for scoring purposes in all sports which have them. Winner will get 6 points, second place 3, third 0.

Otherwise, the Lighthouse points will corns from dual competition or conference meets. Track points will be divided between indoor and outdoor. The city indoor meet will be worth 3-l-0 and the outdoor conference meet the same.

His partner at the net is Gail Goodrich of the Los Angeles Lakers. The tournament was won by 60-year-old former major league baseball slugger Hank Greenberg and Southern California basketball coach Bob Boyd. AP Wtrephoto (By ttit -Associated Press) "That's about the worst I've ever played in my life," declared a very very tired and very disappointed Sam Snead after failing Monday in his bid to qualify for this year's U.S. Open. After, a fine morning round of 69 in sectional qualifying at the Charlotte, N.C., Country Club, Snead ballooned to a 78 in the afternoon round.

His 147 total was 12 strokes back of Doug Sanders, the top qualifier. More importantly, it was two strokes over the qualifying So Snead, winner of 84 6 A co-sponsored r-naments but not a single U.S. Open, will be absent when the field of 150 tees off at Pebble Beach, Calif. June 15-18. Snead, who turned 60 nine days ago, had five bogeys on the front nine of his second round.

But even with that, he would have managed, to qualify if he was able to par the back nine. Instead, he bogeyed the 17th, then three-putted for a double bogey on the par four, 423-yard 18th. No Excuses The temperature was in the high 80s on this hot, muggy day, but Snead refused to use that as an excuse. "I had no excuses," he declared, after flopping down on a bench in Ihe scorer's tent. "I just played badly.

I've played 36 holes in one day before." So for Snead, the U.S. Open jinx continues. An Open also-" ran 33 times, he competed in" 25 consecutive Opens starting In 1937. "Closest shot at title came in 1333 at the Philadelphia Country Club, when with victory in his grasp he bogeyed the 17th and then shot a triple-bogey eight on the final hole, Last year, due to a mix-up dbivBTi Os likely At San Francisco, 50-year-old Jack Fleck, winner of the Open in 1955, walked off the Olympic Lake Course after only 12 of the scheduled 36 holes. "I don't play well," he declared.

"I haven't played well in 10 years." Fleck said he was "about six over par" when he quit. Bobby Brue of Milwaukee was the only Wisconsin candidate to survive sectional eliminations. Brue, a pro at the Ozaukee Country Club in Mequon, was among five hopefuls tying at 141. The Chicago sectional was allowed seven places. Wisconsin sent 12 players to the Chicago trials.

Brue carded 72-69, followed by Tommy Veech with 69-73-142. Veech plays out of a Menomonee Falls club. Some other Wisconsin scores were Robert Mann 74-70 Mark Bemowski 76-71 147 and J.R.

At about $300,000 per pick-both teams get 21 players for the $6,000,000 franchise fee Torrey and Fletcher aren't anxious to pick select players who have no intention of performing in the NHL.

"But I know of at least one player," said who has been announced as going to the WHA who is, right now, negotiating with an NHL club." Vancouver and Los Angeles chose two players each in Monday's draft, the Canucks picking Dan Tannahill, a 30-goal scorer with Boston's American Hockey League farm club, and Gerry Q'-Flaherty from Toronto, and the Kings getting Doug Vol-mar from Detroit and Barry Long from Chicago. Pleau and Horton were the other players drafted. In exchange for Long, Chicago accepted Bill Orban from Los Angeles. Montreal took Selwood as payment for Pleau. The other clubs which lost players, accepted $40,000 draft price as payment.

Several surprise names were available in today's draft. Slh7 Boston's Stanley Cup champions left three veterans, forwards Johnny McKenzie and Ed Westfall and defenseman Ted Green, up for grabs. Chicago did not protect forwards Bryan Campbell, Andre Lacroix, Lou Angotti and Eric Nesterenko, and Los Angeles' eligibles included veterans 1 In the goalie draft, the new teams can pick from such familiar names as Denis De-Jordy and Phil Myre of Montreal, Gerry Desjardins of Chicago and Pittsburgh's Les Binkley. Two promising young goalies, Minnesota's Gilles Gilbert and Dan Bouchard of Boston, were also up for grabs BALTIMORE (AP) Not even extra batting practice, spectacles for Boog Powell, or the arrival of usually friendly Minnesota pitching could snap the Baltimorbitting slump. Instead, the Orioles once again surrendered rather meekly at the plate Monday night as the Twins won 3-2 on a sixth inning double by Bobby Darwin.

The victory ended a fourgame Minnesota losing streak and enabled the Twins to slip into second place in the American League West, five percentage points ahead of the idle Chicago White Sox. Both Minnesota and Chicago are four games behind the surging Oakland Athletics, who topped the sagging Cleveland Indians 3-2 on the 10th inning home run by Campy Campaner-is in the only -other major league game played Monday. One other scheduled game, Pittsburgh at San Diego in the National League, was postponed by rain. Manager Earl Weaver of the Orioles, at a loss to explain Baltimore's ,220 team batting average as compared with last season's league-leading .261 mark, ordered an unusual 10 a.m. batting practice Monday 'motntngTT' Z7 Against Minnesota starter Dick Woodson and ace reliever Wayne Granger, however, the Orioles managed just five hits and two of those were bunts.

Last season, Baltimore hit an amazing .312 against Minnesota pitching. Veteran Brooks Robinson did slam his first home run of the season, in his 158th trip to the plate, but he didn't attribute the blow to the extra practice. The Orioles have now lost six of their last seven games to 'fall 34 games behind Detroit in the American League East, and Weaver indicated he's concerted about more than just lack of hitting. "They haven't been earning their pay on the so we are going to earn it some place," he said, and implied a lack I of maximum effort by adding: "I'm not disappointed with the effort of 95 per cent of the players." 1 Powell, Baltimore's erstwhile slugging first baseman with a 1152 average, was hitless in three trips to the plate Monday. He wore glasses for the first time on one at bat, and struck f- "The rim of the glasses was annoying," said.

Bodnar Lone Repeater on Catholic All-Stars MILWAUKEE John Bodnar of St. Catherine's was the only repeater on the All-Catholic Conference baseball team picked by coaches and players following this season.

Bodnar was joined on the team by Angel-mates Randy Frayer and Tom Pulda. Three Kenosha St. Joseph players were named including Jim McKenna, catcher, Joe Rosko and Gene Rosko, both outfielders. Rounding out the team were Dan McGurk, pitcher and Bill Smith, short stop of Dominican, Ed Simmons, second baseman from Pio Nono, Dan Knackert, third base and Felix Mantilla, outfield from Marquette. Bodnar and Frayer were picked as pitchers, with Bodnar holding the best earned run average, a 0.70 with a 4-2 won loss mark.

Frayer was 3-2 with a 2.58 average. Pulda, holding down the duties at firt, batted .357 for the season while Joe Rosko led the star selections with a .465 mark. in the mail involving Snead's application, he did not even compete in 'the qualifying rounds. Ironically, there is one Snead who can compete at Pebble Beach. That's J.C., Sam's nephew and a tour regular, who was exempt from qualifying rounds because he was amone the 15 leaders on the PGA tour in 1971 under the USGA point system.

Sectional qualifying for 115 spots unfilled in the Open continues today. 'A large field will compete at Philadelphia, where 105 golfers will vie for 21 places. Included among the entrants are tour regulars such as Gardner Dickinson, Deane Beman, Marty Fleck-man, Dale Douglass and George Knudson. Among the golfers exempt from qualifying are Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino, Gary Player and Billy Casper. 135 for Sanders Sanders, the, flashy dresser who won the Kemper Open on the pro tour this weekend, carded a 68-67135 to lead qualifiers at Charlotte.

"One of the top causes of tennis elbow," he adds, "is hitting backhand shots wrong." Change Grip The grip is changed, says Lindsay, by turning the racket one quarter of a turn in your hand so that the base of the index finger is now on the edge between the top of the handle and the beveled side. The thumb should either wrap around the handle or be slanted up the back of the handle.

Since the backhand is hit farther in front of the body you must get the racket ready much quicker on this stroke. Take the racket back with both hands, the left pulling the racket back until you feel the pull in the right shoulder and your racket is pointed toward the back fence. You release the left hand (for righthander) stepping forward with the right foot, swinging the racket forward from the right shoulder. You should meet the ball about one foot in front of your right foot and the follow-trhouglKshould finish up pointing to the top of the opposite fence.

IHtecEcey MONTREAL (AP) The stage was set today for a likely legal showdown between the established National Hockey League and upstart World Hockey Association as the NHL's two newest franchises, the New York Islanders and Atlanta Flames, stocked their clubs in the expansion draft.

General Managers Bill Orrey of the Islanders and Cliff Fletcher, of the Flames were interested bystanders Monday as the 14 established NHL-clubs tidied up their rosters in the intra-league draft. Eight players changed uniforms, the most notable being 42-year-old defenseman Tim Horton, claimed by Buffalo from But the most significant draft may have been Toronto's selection of Larry Pleau from Montreal and the subsequent claim of Brad Selwood as payment from the Maple Leafs. Both players have signed contracts with the New England Whalers of the WHA as have several of the other athletes whose names appeared on the lists of draft eligibles submitted to Torrey and Fletcher Monday night. Draft, Then Ask The announced signings of Pleau and Selwood with the WHA didn't seem to bother the Maple Leafs and Canadiens Monday and if their 14 big brothers leave any quality players who are WHA-bound open today, the Islanders and Flames are likely to draft first and ask questions later. "I'm going to draft the best players'I can," said Torrey.

"The fact that they are available to me means they signed a standard contract last year. And that contract contained an option clause on their services for next season. "It has their signature and if I have to, I'll go to court to lillllliililllliiiilllilllllllliiiiillllllil Will Rsh Love Nylons, Tires? SEATTLE (AP) Fish may not have legs or drive cars, but the state Parks and Recreation Dept. plans to see if they'll make use of women's hosiery and automobile tires. In an effort to increase the fish population in the area, the department has constructed a reef made of 400 tires in Can-Inlet, To provide "seaweed," missing because of fast water in the area, 1,000 pairs of discarded nylons were tied to the tires.

The nylons, stuffed with buoyant plastic, are expected to give the fish the privacy they like for habitation and propagation.

The final qualifying round for the Olympic Archery team will highlight one of the nation's top archery meets here June 26-July 3. In addition, the Professional Archers Association annual championship and the Tournament of Champions will be held.

More than $20,000 in cash awards will be up for grabs in the professional division of the meet. A Junior Olympic Archery Development shoot will also be held. The Olympic qualifying round is the final round before the Olympic trials. Three men and three women will be selected to represent the United States in the Olympic Games at Munich. Archery is being returned as a gold medal event in the Olympics for the first time since 1908.

JourniJ Other Racine players agree that Krohn, who held a No. 3 state ranking in doubles and also a single ranking, has Tlmes Photo bj Charles 8. Vallone one of the better backhands around.

Whereas many players fear to receive serves to their backhand, Krohn uses the stroke as a weapon. "Above all," he advises, "don't get into the habit of running around your backhand shots to take them'bn the forehand because you'll never learn to hit backhands that way." "The backhand can be as good or better than your forehand if you work at it," notes Krohn in a statement most leading players would agree with. "Actually, it is a more natural stroke. Most people just seem to learn it a little Some Suggestions Krohn offers thjse suggestions that have helped him: (1) Get the racket back as soon as possible when you know where the shot is going. (2) Be sideways to the net.

(3) Keep your right shoulder down. (4) Bend your knees. (5) Hit the shot with a firm wrist. The two-handed backhand has become popular with some players in recent years, but Krohn discourages its use by beginners. "For one thing," he explains, "you are setting up limits for yourself.

There is no way you can reach as far with both hands on the racket." North Shore Club Pro Bob Lindsay emphasized the need for hitting backhands Many buckets, a hand full of blisters and two days later we eliminated our woods down to one by splitting our dried-out driver head in half, and not even on a good shot. Our first practice round of the year was played at Ives Grove on the back nine in a' heavy fog with County Park. Director Karl Holzwarth. After six holes, Karl excused himself In favor of a meeting and left us on our own. We won't go into scores other than to say we opened with a double diget number and finished, 18 holes later, with some improvement.

Since we don't intend to mention our own playing the rest of the summer, please excuse the mention here. We next played and kept score at South Hills in the company of Elroy Hirsh who has to be one of the kindest men in the world. The only comment he had to offer was that I had the "toucT'bT a "bull elephant on the greens." Thus, 4id we get back to the game of golf. We plan to try for some improvement this summer, of course, and maybe a par or two might be possible. The above was only to set our reader or two, straight concerning the fact that this will not be the place to look up what you're doing wrong.

We hope to cover the local golf scene, keep -you informed of the tournaments and other events and maybe give an occasional tip from someone who knows what they're talk-' ing about. So, this summer, if you happen to have someone zig-zagging across the course in front of you, be kind, it might just be a poor golf writer trying for a record number of yards walked in 18 holes. By John Anderson Journal-Times Staff WE'D LIKE to say the choice of golf writer for this summer was an easy one for Ralph Trower. We'd like to feel that our prowess on the greens and fairways places us in a posi-. tion to give bits of golfing wisdom to all levels of the local golfing public.

We'd like to say all this, but then we'd also like to win a sweepsteaks, catch a record smallmouth and get radishes to grow in our garden without becoming mushy. Our editor's decision was based on the fact that everyone else in the department was otherwise occupied for the summer and the fact that 'I used to play with a semi-regularity. IT'S NOT that we "don't like the game. We' really enjoy the outdoors and the fact that in golf even a high score is your own business and not something you have to live down from the multitudes. We just "strayed away" from the game the past three years.

Getting the sticks out of the garage attic this spring brought about a few surprises. First, our two-wood was missing and no deep thought brought the reason for the loss to memory. (That last round must have been a dilly) Second, when cleaning out the bag we found that it had become a hotel for mice and who knows how many lived there for the past several years. People aren't the only ones that leave litter. Not knowing if we would remember anything that we did correctly we were certain the mistakes would still be there we stopped out at the local "buy a bucket and swing away to see the results of our layoff.

I Tom Krohn shows why his backhand is rated near the top among Racine tournament tennis players. Krohn Is sideways to the net and his eye Is on the ball. The grip is correct, the wrist Is firm, and he Is bending his knees to a low shot..
