Chicago Tribune. Friday. 14. 1976 Section 4 3 lagoon, a writer, and DiM ag hit streak Touching all bases 28 Maroon oarswomen gets Rick's vote I I In the wake of the news By David Condon rat vM, Talley CtJfil SO YOU SAW me with those college girls in the Lincoln Park foliage about 6 a. m.

Well, I was the one who hadn't worked up a sweat. These gal athletes were practicing to give beatings to Harvard, Radchffe, or any challenger. They were gals like Laurie Moses, who has taught French and will pursue a career in sports medicine. So there we were, by the lagoon, with brown-eyed Laurie enthusiastically explaining: "I was in swimming, and sort of athletic, at MacAlester College. Then, at the University of Chicago, I started exercising inthegym.

f' VI saw Barbara Hornung exercise by running up and down stairs. I figured she must be into something neat and she was. Barbara was conditioning for rowing. So we got a few of girls together and here we are." YES, HERE WE ARE. The glorious University of Chicago Maroons have risen again.

These present Maroons are prettier than Amos A. Stagg's old crop perhaps because' these daring and darling daughters love the idea of getting near the water. As Linda Gould said before scurrying to calculus class: "I practically lived in the water in Maine. I missed the water at of until I saw posters about women's rowing. This makes the big city more beara V'4 1'fl ble." There are 28 oarswomen at University of Chicago.

Tribune Photo by James Mayo Many are up at 5 a.m. daily for rowing sessions on Lincoln Park Lagoon. Word on Wood "We finish about 8 a.m., sometimes after rowing five "He was a pioneer who became one of the top crew coaches in America," added Jeanne. So 70 years later a group of women are pioneering women's crew at Conibear's old school. 1 These girls have been training since October, land conditioning until they took to the water on March 5.

The crew club recently purchased a $6,000 Maroon racing shell. They raised the $2,000 down payment by selling (U of T-shirts and through contributions. They've sent shirts to places like Columbia, S.C., and Omaha. The club plans a marathon to raise money for many other expenses. THE MAROONS' IMAROONESSES? at Thursday's session included Susan Hill, a coxswain who came from Alabama to study chemistry.

And Debbie Soron-do, Oakland; Kathy Hughes Bostonite and post-grad from Brandies; Sally O'Neil of Marietta, O. And the "starboard Susan Urbas, a political science major originally from Northwestern; Kathe-rine Kaplan biology, West Lafayette, tad-J Palmira Johnson of Des Plaines, who studies Islamic history and became interested in crew through articles in The Daily Maroon. Plus Jennifer Cram of Syracuse, and, of course, Barbara Hornung. Barbara, out of New Trier West High School, says: "I stroke the shell. The coxswain is the only one in front of me.

I set the beat for the women behind me when I execute the coxswain's command. "The more skilled rowers are in the stern and bow. The stronger and bigger ones are in the middle. In a 'four' boat we may stroke between 32 and 36 for the body of the race, but increase the beat to 36-40 in a sprint. An 'eight' rows faster, and will sometimes take a 38 beat up to 42." SOME OF THE girls are optimistic about Olympic trials in June.

All are prepping for the Central States regatta on the Cahimet ftiver June 27; Saturday, part of the team goes to Minneapolis; the rest row against Wisconsin-Milwaukee in Lincol Park "at 10 o'clock, or or whenever Milwaukee shows up," said miles. Occasionally a few of the girls go to classes in White Sox pitcher Wilbur Wood, recovering their sweat outfits," explained Carol Dorge, a one-time trom surgery on his fractured left-kneecap at Illinois Masonic Hospital, telling reporters Lake Forester who became hooked on rowing on Lake Cayuga's famed waters at Cornell. CAROL, A PARA-LEGAL, also helps coach the men' Thursday that he II be in' hospital another week. He said he didn't know when he might throw again. team.

Which may be one reason the men now win races against the girls, after losing the first one. REMEMBER A YEAR ago when Chicago newspapers asked you to help choose the most memorable moments in Chicago baseball? Fans responded by citing Ernie Banks' 500th home run on May 12, 1970 and the" White Sox winning their first pennant in 40 years in 1959. That was only the beginning of a nation-wide poll, however, to help select baseball's most memorable moments -and personalities Now the Commission- er's office is asking writers and baseball officials to make a final determination, with winners to be announced July 1 and publicly honored during the 1976 All-Star Game festivities in Philadelphia. The list of nominees is long, and obviously there are many memorable These are my selections: Most memorable American League moment: Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak, May 15-July 16, 1941. Second choice: Cleveland beating Boston in 1948 AL playoff.

Most memorable National League moment: Bobby Thomson's playoff homer to win NL playoff for Giants, 1951 I Second choice: Johnny Vander Meer's consecutive no-hitters, June 11 and June 15, 1938. Most memorable All-Star Game moment: Carl Hubbell's five consecutive strikeouts in 1934 game. Second choice: Tony Perez' 15th-inning homer to win the 1967 game. Most memorable World Series moment: This is the toughie. I'll stick with Bill Mazeroski's climactic home run in Game 7 to beat the Yankees in the 1960 Series.

Others close behind: Mickey Owens' muff of a third strike to open door for Yankees in 1941 Cookie Lavaget-to's double, ruining Bill Bevens' no-hit bid in 1947 Al Gionfriddo's catch robbing Joe DiMaggio in the same series Willie Mays' back-to-the-plate catch off Vic Wertz in 1954 Sandy Amo-ros' catch off Yogi Berra in 1955 Don Larsen's perfect game in 1956. Most memorable personality: Babe Ruth, who else? Others in my top 10: Connie Mack, Dizzy Dean, Ty Cobb, Casey Stengel, Satchel Paige, Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig, Judge Kenesaw Lan-dis, and Roy Smalley. The ballot, incidentally, was withheld until the Giants finally scored on Thursday. If the Cub pitching staff had thrown three consecutive shutouts, I'd have torn up Thomson's homer and submitted a new entry. THE CUSTOMERS always write, with remedies for me and the Cubs: "How could you bet the Cubs would hold Cincinnati to less than 25 run's last weekend? I hope this taught you a lesson." Jo Ellen Yoder, Kenosha, Wis.

You gotta be bidding. That urns one of my good bets. You wouldn't believe some of my bad ones. "You must stay sober when you make any more sports bets, especially when the games are played in Wrigley Field." Tony Scott, Chicago. With the Cubs, it isn't always easy.

"Would you believe that a few of these guys have been bicycling up from Hyde Park at 5 a.m.?" said Carol. "Some rowers work out in late afternoon but, really, it's more pleasant in the morning. There's less wind, too." "Here's my solution for the Cubs. Eliminate those right and left field bleachers. Leave the steel fence on the walls so that a home run must clear both the wall and fence.

I'm tired of seeing cheap home runs. Let's have some real baseball played again." Joe Allen, Cub fan since 1914, Forest Park. Do we also make the bleacher seats portable so they can be returned to home run status wheruthe wind is blowing in? "The next time a Cub hitter is decked on purpose, the Cubs should simply move their pitcher to shortstop and take Dave Rosello out of the game. Then bring in the previous day's pitcher to throw just one pitctf, directly at the first hitter. The pitcher would be thrown out of the game, of course, but who cares? He was supposed to be resting anyhow.

Then bring back the real pitcher from shortstop and put Mike Kelleher into the game. Manager Jim Marshall would also be thrown out, but that wouldn't be the end of 'the world, either. What do you think?" Tom Downs, Chicago. I think you've figured out a way to beat the current retaliation rule, but who's going to talk Marshall into' it? Certainly not Rosello. A FEW NOTES: Itchy Jones' Southern Illinois University baseball team closed its season at 39-12-1 and is awaiting an NCAA post-season tournament bid.

The Salukis were one of the two best hitting teams in the nation at .357. First prize for the Western Open golf championship, to be held June 24-27 at Butler National, will be $40,000, a slight increase over the winner's check of $129 won by Willie Smith at the first Western in golf in Illinois in 1899. My Preakness pick: Bold Forbes and Honest Pleasure to run a 1-2 repeat but why are both now on Butazolidine? Finally, relief is ahead for all of you tennis smashers. A "fast serve" tournament will be held in 10 cities and competition is to be staged in Chicago on July 24. The rules are simple: Each contestant will be timed by radar on three serves but only a legal serve will be accepted.

Speed will be recorded as the ball comes off the racket, so the court surface will have no bearing on the final figure. 'Australian professional Collin Dibley's serve was clocked at 148 miles per hour last year. Are you faster?

Reopener 1 A total of 28 basketball players have placed their names on the National Basketball Association's "hardship" list in order to become eligible for a special draft on June 8. The 28 can retain their college eligibility by withdrawing their names by midnight of June 7, however. Among the top players who have put their names into the hopper are Adrian Dantley of Notre Dame, Bo Ellis of Marquette, Rickey Green of Michigan, Ray Williams of Minnesota, and UCLA's two star forwards, Richard Washington and Marques Johnson.

Other well-known players include Norman Cook of Kansas, Johnny Davis of Dayton, Bernard King of Tennessee, Lonnie Shelton of Oregon State, Wayne "Tree" Rollins of Clemson, Jackie Dorsey of Georgia, Jeep Kelley of Nevada-Las Vegas, Hollis Vickery of Illinois Valley Community College, and two Oral Rob-e players Anthony Roberts and Arnold Dug-ger.

But we think it's a word that characterizes Lancia. Because if you compare the Lancia to an overpriced European luxury car or the usual mass-produced Detroit status symbol, it certainly is intelligent The intelligent alternative.

Because it's a luxury, performance car that's realistically priced. Why haven't you heard of Lancia before? Because very few Lancias have ever come to America. But In Europe, Lancia is one of the oldest and most respected car manufacturers. And it's now a division of Flat The new Lancia that's now available in America is the Lancia Beta. And it comes in two body styles: a Coupe and a 4-door Sedan.

It's powered by a highly responsive 4-cyiirtder, twin overhead cam engine that's extremely reliable and doesn't require constant maintenance. And It's coupled to a 5speed overdrive transmission. So the engine can run more efficiently with less wear and tear at stage a second opening day May 22 against Atlanta. The team wants to start anew because city workers' strike, which ended last week, de-' prived fans of many services and concessions on April 9 when the Giants beat the Dodgers before coming at the feet of another Florida club, the Tampa Bay Rowdies. Winless and scoreless after five contests, Miami seems the ideal scapegoat.

Yet it is that very fact that has Sting General Manager Jim Walker and Coach Bill 37,261. bucket seats recline, and in the Coupe, are upholstered In real leather. There's also an adjustable steering column, an electronic clock! and thick, plush carpeting. And since the engine is mounted sideways, there's plenty of room for passengers and their luggage. How much does the Lancia Beta cost? A lot less than many people think.

The base price of the Coupe Is 0. And the 4-door Sedan is substantially less. The Lancia Beta, like any fine car, must be driven to be fully appreciated. That's why we suggest visit your nearest Lancia dealer and arrange for a test drive. We think you! discover that the Lancia Beta is an intelligent, well thought-out car that Is appropriately labeled the Intelligent alternative.
