Second Team "I think and I hope my attitude Improved (over the past three years). When I was a sophomore 1 think I thought I was better than I was. But I realized that I couldn't win all the time and that all you can do Is just play and do your best." While Logic was accepting her honor graciously and calmly (perhaps a bit In shock), Horlick Coach Sue Cham-basian was flitting over being chosen Coach of the Year. "It's the first time In five years (of coaching)," Cham-basian said, referring to her selection. "You just think I Just can't get used to it.

I'm so excited." Chumbasian had guided her team to a 6-3 season record and a second place finish in the SSC, behind Kenosha Tremper, "The honor Is generated by the team actually," Cham-basian said. "It's really special. All the heartache you go through struggling with the kids, trying to help them do well, and then seeing the kids do well, all that really adds to being named coach of the year." As far as Chambasian is concerned, coaching is a day long job. "You spend a lot of time on It away from the practices and matches," Chambasian said. "I feel that's part of what being a coach is all about to be that dedicated.

"You go out of your way, spending extra hours to help your kids Improve, looking for any information that can them." And for Sue Chambasian, the struggling has been worth it. from experience." Indeed, Logic had come a long way In a short time. She grew up In a tennis-playing family, but didn't start playing the game "seriously" until 10th grade. "My mom's the one who got me Into It," Logic said. "I think she wishes she would have gotten me Into It when I was younger." With the support of her parents and her own determination Logic soon overlook her teacher.

"She used to beat me when I first started out," Logic said, referring to her mother. "Now It's the other way around." But her mother didn't seem to When asked how that made her feel, she just laughed and said, "She caught on quickly, very quickly." As she talked, parental pride showered through her conversation. "Of course I'm prejudiced, but she deserves It," Jean Logic said of her daughter's honor. "She's really worked hard for it. She's definitely become a sharper player on the court.

"Kathy had a lot of natural ability, We're really very proud of her." Admittedly, the season has been a rewarding one for Logic. "I had a lot of good experiences this year," Logic said. "Winning that SSC title, Just competing and getting the self-satisfaction when I myself win and when my teammates win. When she received the news, she looked down at her lap somewhat embarrassed. But she couldn't restrain her true feelings for long.

A smile broke out on her face. She looked across the room at her mother, who also was smiling, and they both laughed. Kathy Logic had been chosen the Journal Times All-County girls' tennis player of the year in a vole of the coaches at the respective schools. The selection was hardly surprising. After the Park senior had compiled a 19-3 season record and had won the South Shore Conference No, 1 singles championship, the coaches never wavered in their selection.

Any other choice seemed unthinkable. "I'm happy about it," Logic said when told the news. "Thinking of how many girls in the city went out for tennis and then to be chosen player of the year, It's a big honor." It Is an honor well deserved. "I couldn't be more pleased for her," said Jane Holroyd, one of Park's tennis coaches. "I think It's a very fitting honor for her, "It's a very satisfying way to have completed three years of competing on the tennis team.

It Indicates to her others have appreciated her progress and dedication." "She's a natural athlete," said Betty Blesada, Park's head tennis coach.

It's easy to see why Dick Pufall chose to go on vacation this week and leave the National Football League picks to someone else. All one has to do Is take a look at the matchups. There are no easy choices this week, no giveaways, no clear-cut winners. After falling to a lowly 1-6 record last week, our fearless leader decided to escape from the scene of the crime. And that leaves me with the unenviable task of making a fool of myself.

There Is one lesson to be learned after following pro football for over 10 years the most predictable thing about football Is its unpredictability, which doesn't make the job any easier for prognostlcators. Take, for example, the Green Bay-Chicago game. What an example that is with 56 years of tradition behind It. Considering that the Packers and Bears have met in 115 games, predicting the winner should be an easy task by now. But that simply Isn't the case.

When Green Bay meets Chicago one can throw the record book out the window especially this season, since neither's are worth much anyway. Like games of the past, this one shapes up to be another defensive battle, simply because neither team has had much of an offense lately. Despite the superiority the Packers may have on defense (at least statistically), the Bears have one weapon the Packers don't have Walter Payton, who Just may be the deciding factor In the game. Green Bay has always had trouble stopping Chicago's running game. Final score: Bears 17, Packers It Dallas 30, Detroit 10 If any of today's games come close to easy pickings, this is the one.

Dallas should have no trouble extending the Lions' on-the-road losing streak to seven. Atlanta 17, Minnesota 14 This could be the upset game of the week. The Vikings, still living off past reputation, are coming off a big Monday night loss to the Rams. The Falcons continue to surprise everyone with a defense among the tops in the league. San Francisco 21, Tampa Bay I Tampa Bay's quarterbacks should sue for non-support.

The Bucs will have to wait another week for their first NFL regular season victory, while the 49ers make it two-ln-a-row. Cleveland 26, Kansas City 17 The Chiefs got into the win column last week with an upset of San Diego in the closing minutes of the game. But the Browns owe them one from last year. Reg. UP TO Weyenberg Nunn Bush Roblee Toscana Los Angeles 34, New Orleans 24 The Saints can score, but the Rams can score more.

Baden's on a hot streak, trying to put Namath out of a job permanently. Miami 24, San Diego 16 Now that Bob Griese can see again, he's been right on target. The Dolphins aren't about to drop out of their first-place tie with Baltimore In the AFC East. Buffalo 17, Seattle 14 O.J. Simpson remains questionable for today's game, but even at less than full strength be should be able to run all over the Klngdome.

Seems The Juice prefers running indoors. Philadelphia 21, Washington 14 The Eagles have yet to mount a big offensive attack, but the over the-hill gang keeps stumbling along. Philadelphia got an ego boost last week with a near upset of Dallas. Houston 20, Cincinnati 17 Both teams are plagued with Injured quarterbacks. The Bengals have the home advantage but the Oilers are hoping to rebound.

New England 34, New York 24 The Jets nearly pulled off a major upset of Oakland last week, but the Patriots are starting to come Into their own. The Pats are unlikely to take the Jets lightly. Oakland 20, Denver 17 This should prove to be the game of the week. Denver is riding high on a six-game winning, but last year's Super Bowl champs should bring the Broncos back down to the ground. The Raiders aren't about to let Denver take both games this season.

Pittsburgh 21, Baltimore 20 Last time these two teams met in Baltimore someone flew a plane Into the stands. If the Steelers can stay off the runway and on the track they should be able to slip past the Colts. St. Louis 31, New York Giants 20 Turn off the volume on your TV and enjoy Monday night's game. Both teams will provide more excitement than a transcontinental flight with Howard Cosell ever could.

Improving quarterback Bob Avellinl had an off day against Atlanta, hut had three good games In a row prior to that and has completed 50 per cent of his passes. The Bears' defense has Improved since free safety Doug Plank's return from a knee Injury that forced him to miss the season's first three games. However, the Bears, have yet to show the kind of past rush they had a year ago Ihe Bears have tackled quarterbacks for losses only 10 timet, down from 28 after tlx garnet last year.

At the same time, Avellinl hat been sacked nine times, compared with four at the same stage a year ago. The Packers beat wmlest Tampa Bay 13-0 last Sunday but Coach Bart Starr, while delighted to have a four-game losing streak broken, noted the quality, or lack of It, of the Bucca-neert. "We didn't beat a contending team," Starr said. "We'v got to beat some contending tetms. tome teams In our own division, before we can took to the kind of Improvement art seeking." GREEN BAY (AP) Few would have believed it seven weeks ago, but the oldest rivals In the National Football League are dead even as the 1677 season nears the halfway point.

The Green Bay Packers' 2-4 record is about what most had expected, but the fact that the Chicago Bears also are 2-4 is a bit of an upset And no one Is more upset about it than the Bears themselves, who meet the Packers at Lambeau Field today (1 p.m. CST) in the 116th renewal of their rivalry. Many thought this might be the year the Bears, a surprising 7-7 last season, ended the Minnesota Vikings' long dominance of the National Conference Central Division. However, the Bean have stopped themselves with 16 turnovers, five more than they have forced of their opponents, and i whopping 49 penalties. 1 "We're not good enough to beat anyone in the league with the mistakes, turnovers and penalties we've been handicapping ourselves with," said Coach Jack Pardee, whose Bears have followed a nationally televised 24-23 victory over powerful Los Angeles by losing the past two weeki to Minnesota 23-16 and Atlanta 16-10.
