Today Births By Stave Sakson The Associated Press BALTIMORE Howard Head, who built ski and tennis equipment empires out of friends' money and poker winnings and developed the first oversized tennis racquet, died Sunday night. He was 76. Head, who had homes in Baltimore and Vail, died of complications from heart surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

His innovations in the manufacturing of skis and tennis racquets helped introduce thesports to many. "In both cases he took a sport that was a certain degree of difficulty and. made it less difficult for the players. In skiing, he opened it up, literally, to millions of people," said Hal Donofrio, a longtime friend. "He did both these things because he wasn't particularly good at either sport," Donofrio said.

"He was intrigued literally with everything from why grass grows to why can't I ski better. He pursued those things because, first he had the interest, then the God-given talent for inventing things or making things different from the way they were being made." Head founded the Head Ski Co. in 1948 with $6,000 in poker winnings and money borrowed from friends after his first trip to the slopes left him frustrated with what he called "those clumsy, heavy wooden skis." The former aircraft engineer from Philadelphia wanted to build a ski out of lightweight aircraft materials. After numerous experiments, Head successfully marketed an aluminum ski.

Head skis went on to win medals at the 1964 Innsbruck, Austria, Olympics and the 1968 Olympics in Grenoble, Switzerland. Although aluminum is no longer used primarily in ski manufacturing, Head's invention got people in the industry thinking about different ways of making skis and cleared the path for other innovators, Donofrio said. Head sold his company to AMF in 1971, retired and took up tennis, but was frustrated by his performance in that game as well because the racquet kept twisting in his hand. He bought Prince Manufacturing in Princeton, N.J.,- which at the time made only tennis ball practice machines. After two years of experiments, Head's wide.r and longer tennis racquet was introduced.

The oversized racquet caught on quickly and is now widely used by tennis pros across the globe. Pam Shriver used the original Prince Classic racquet to, at age 16, become the youngest player ever to reach the finals of the U.S. Open in 1978. Head retired again in 1982 when he sold Prince to Cheeseborough Ponds. In recent years, was known for his philanthropy in the arts and sports medicine.
