Greater Latrobe Senior High School Head Basketball Coach 1 Hi. i I A -t k' -v r-T Bob Kendra Slams Homer, Single Robertson's Bat Gives Bucs Win Can the now youngest head basketball coach in the WPIAL handle the task of building a winner at -Greater Latrobe Senior, High School? Since this wjiter is the coach in question, my answer is an emphatic "yes." The basketball program at Greater Latrobe must be geared to success. As many young men as possible should participate in it.

No man, program nor department is an island. Each must see itself within -the larger perspective of the whole school system and its mission. To be successful, the basketball program must be built around the personal interest in young people. It is the coach's responsibility to help the student-athlete decide what he wants in life. The coach should then help him find out what it takes to achieve that goal and assist in setting a time table for- reaching it.

Through the coach's assistance, the student-athlete can build in himself. This is only the first step in Jbecoming a "winner." A successful program certainly is not an overnight occurrence. It is "something which is built step-, by-step with sound research, solidxprinciples, careful planning, academic as welTiis sociaHiappiness, and finally, squad control such as discipline, mannerism and attitude. athletic program can be successful without communty support. The basketball program and the athletic program at Greater Latrobe Senior High School is definitely not an exception.

It is easy to see that one can hardly count all the ingredients that are combined in the creation of a successful program. Perhaps the most important are the intangibles. No one can measure the size of a young man's heart. Pride and desire overcome many shortcomings and they are special ingredients that readily identify the winners. We want, expect and will work with all that's in us to make the Greater Latrobe basketball program educational, challenging, competitive, exciting, motivating, stimulating and, last but certainly not least, a sound winning program.

Fischer, the 29-year-old Brooklyn chess genius, must turn up in Reykjavik by then or lose the right to challenge Soviet titleholder Boris Spassky for the world championship, a match that has generated wider interest than any chess game in history Fischeri apparently bargaining for more money, was hiding out in New York while the great debate of "will he show up or won't he?" raged.

The 24-game series was to have started Sunday. But when Fischer didn't show the president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), Dr. Max announced that he was postponing the deadline Tintil noon Tuesday (8 a.m. EDT). If Fischer, does not aopear for the drawing of lots scheduled for that time, he will be disqualified and lose his right to challenge the 35-year-oid Russian tor the world, chess title.

An Icelandic friend of Fischer, Freystrinn Thor-berbergsson, flew to York Sunday to try to persuade the American grand master to return with him. He Fourth Contests Among the various activities scheduled for Latrobe's Fourth of July telebration at Legion-Keener Park tomorrow are the popular foot races at Memorial Stadium and basketball foul-shooting contest at the Fourth Ward Playground courts.

C. New York at Oak. Tourney Time Out said he was acting as "a friend of Bobby Fischer" and said only "I know where to find him." He refused to answer other questions. Fischer, who has kept the Icelandic organizers nervously rushing to Keflavik international airport to meet every flight from New York for a jveek, simply did not show up Sunday. Officially there was no explanation.

He has not been in touch with the Icelandic Chess Federation or FIDE since he sent a cable through the U.S. Chess Federation some time back saying he would show up for the match "under protest." Four times since then, Fischer has canceled bookings on flights to Iceland. The Icelandic federation, which stands to- lose much money if the match does not come off, pleaded for Fischer Sunday and convinced Euwe to postpone the start of the match 48 hours to give Fischer a last chance. "But I am not very hopeful," said Euwe, the last non-Russian to hold the world title from 1935 to 1937. He.

is Dutch. The decision came after several rounds of closed negotiations involving Spassky, Euwe, the Icelandic organizers and Americans representing Fischer but not authorized by him to negotiate. Spassky appeared undisturbed by the crisis surrounding his first defense of the title he won in 1969 from fellow countryman Tigran Petrosian. He was calm and relaxed in Sunday's negotiations and his seconds said he was in fine spirits. The total prize money of $125,000 more than ten times bigger than any before in the history of chess will be split with five-eights to the winner and the rest to the loser.

On top of this the two players are guaranteed 30 per cent of net incomes on televisions and film rights. But Fischer wants more. He has asked the' Icelandic organizers for a 30 per cent share of the gate receipts something which in the words of Icelandic Chess Federation president Gudmundur Thorarinsson would spell "economic disaster" for the tiny federation in a nation of only 200,000 inhabitants.

EUGENE, Ore. (UPI)-A few years back after he cleared 17 feet in the- pole vault for the first time, Bob "Seagren predicted 18 feet was a strong possibility. And now that he has cleared 18 feet, and in fact 18-5 4 for another world record at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials, Bob says a 1 9-foot vault is imminent. Seagren, the 1968 Olympic champion from Monterey Park, took the world record to within six inches of 19 feet under near-perfect weather conditions Sunday as America's track stars continued to shatter old standards and threaten others in a smashing prelude to the Munich Olympics later this summer.

who aspires to an acting career, talked about the possibility of a 19-foot vault. "I honestly don't think my record will last long," he said. 'A 19-foot vault is near. I think could have had a good at it this time, if the xmpetition hadn't lasted so ong and it had been earlier in Jieday." Seagren took only six leaps ill day. He passed at two heights and then went jver on the first try at 17-4 17-8 Vz and He missed twice at 18-5 then made it on the third try for the record.

Seagren and Kjell Isaksson of Sweden shared the old mark at 18-4 set on May 23 in a special head-to-head tussle at El Paso, Tex. Seagren said he plans to take things easy for a while and then pick up the pace again leading to the Munich Games in late August. In the vault competition, Seagren, Steve Smith of Long Beach State, Jan Johnsonof Alabama and Dave Roberts of Rice, the AAU and NCAA champ, all cleared 17-8 Vz and the bar was raised to 18-. Johnson and Smith cleared it to become the fifth and sixth men in the world in the 18-foot club but Roberts failed and thus was left off the Olympic team. In other events Sunday, Ralph Mann, the former Brigham Young star, took second billing when he set an American record of 48.4 in winning the 400-meter hurdles.

Richard Bruggeman of the Ohio Track Club was second in 48.6 and Jim Seymour of the Southern California Striders was third in 49.3 to also win Olympic berths. Other winners Sunday included Mike Manley of the Oregon Track Club in the 3,000 meter steelpechase, Frank Shorter of the' Florida Track Club fn the 10,000 meter run (28:35.6) and Bill Schmidt of the Army in the javelin (27 6). Doug Brown of Tennessee and Steve Savage of the Oregon Track Club were second and third in the steeplechase, Jeff Galloway of the Florida Track Club and Jon Anderson of the Oregon Track Club chased Shorter across the line in the 10,000, and Milt Sonsky of the New York AC and Fred Luke of the Husky Track Club finished behind Schmidt in the javelin. Thus, 15 more athletes won spots on the Olympic team Sunday for a total of 30 thus far. On Saturday night, Jay Silvester took the discus 211-2).

Larry Young won the 20-kilometer walk Hart won the 100 meter- dash in the world record equalling time of 9.9, Dave Wottle equalled the world mark of 1:44.3 in winning the 800 meter dash and John Craft won the triple jump with a leap of 56-2. There is only one event on today's program but it'll consume most of the day. That, is the first five events of the decathlon.

About 50 boys participated in the event victory. She had all but given up hope of winning after the first day when she had a 79. "I really didn't think I had a chance to win it at all, and when I three-putted 15 today I figured any chance that I might still had I had lost," said Susie, whose round of 71 was one of only five sub-par rounds recorded in the four-day event.

Berning gained a tie by canning a 20- footj)utt for a birdie on the dangerous 200-yard, par three 17th hole. The 17th had been the most difficult hole for the girls throughout the tournament, and so it was no surprise when Miss Barnett bogeyed the hole to give Susie the lead.

PITTSBURGH (UPI) -Pittsburgh manager Bill Virdon may have solved the twin problems of Willie Stargell's fragile, knees and Bob Robertson's fragile bat by some expert juggling of the Pirates' devastating lineup. Outfielder Stargell was at first base and first baseman Robertson was at third base for the first time in more than two years Sunday as the Pirates defeated Chicago 7-4 to make it two in a row after three games of their four-game series. Stargell, nursing fragile knees scarred by surgery, drove in a pair of runs with a single and sacrifice fly, while Robertson, who entered the game with an anemic .147 batting average, also drove in a pair of runs on a single and his fourth home run of the season.

The Stargell-Robertson infield parlay struck a chord with Virdon, who said the red-haired first baseman would be at third again a position he hadn't played since June 12, 1970 "for the next several games.

Robertson had rode the bench much of the season as Virdon moved Stargell to first ind replaced him with sub; stitute outfielders Gene Clines (.344) and Rennie Stennett At third base, the Pirate manager had alternated regular Richie Hebner (.291) and sub Jose Pagan With Hebner sidelined with apulled leg muscle, third baseman Robertson gives Virdon moreexplosive home run power to gowith the Pirate platoon of spray iUt ters.

"Mrs. Berning, one of the few married girls on the LPGA tour, may have lost some of the strength she had a few years ago when she was one of the promising newcomers on the tour, but she proved Sunday that she has lost none of her poise. -Trailing by four strokes entering the final round of the USGA Women's Open golf championship, Mrs. Berning posted a one-under par 71 and overhauled third day leader Pam Barnett down the stretch the tournament for the second time in her nine-year pro career. Mrs.

Berning's 72-hole score was 11 over par 299 over the rugged Winged Foot Country Club course, which was one stroke better than Miss Barnett, Judy Rankin and Kathy Ahern. Miss Barnett, who had a three-stroke edge entering the final round, had a 76J5unday, Miss Rankin posted a 73 and Miss Ahern had a 70, the low score of the tournament.
