r-'-n THE SUN Oct. 25, 1983 C-3 Waitz says her next marathon will he in Olympics tennis notes katic castator 1 sports in brief Associated Press NEW YORK Norway's Grete Waitz, the women's world marathon champion, said Monday she didn't plan to run any more 26-mile, 385-yard races until the 1984 Olympic Games at Los Angeles. "I feel three marathons this year is enough (of a base for the Olympics)," Waitz said, a day after her second consecutive victory and fifth in six years in the New York City Marathon. "I feel physically and mentally prepared." The 30-year-old Waitz, a former schoolteacher from Oslo, said she didn't run any faster in Sunday's New York race because was a little tired from Helsinki. That was the site of the World Track and Field Championships in August.

In addition, Waitz said she had suffered an Achilles' injury five weeks ago, perhaps causing her to be a little tentative. Waitz, unbeaten in the seven marathons she has completed, will not have to go through Olympic Trials in Norway. "That's the advantage of being from a small country," she said. Coetzee reportedly to have surgery JOHANNESBURG, South Africa World Boxing Association heavyweight champ Gerrie Coetzee of South Africa was reported Monday to be preparing for surgery to his right shoulder, but he said doctors believed the operation won't slow his punching. "It is something which has been there for a long time and for some reason it has not healed," Coetzee was quoted as saying in The Star, Johannesburg's afternoon, English-language paper.

The report said Coetzee, who won the WBA crown Sept. 23 on a lOth-round knockout of American Michael Dokes in Richfield, Ohio, will enter an unidentified Johannesburg hospital next week. There was no indication of what precisely was wrong with the boxer's shoulder. He has had numerous operations on his right hand, but Coetzee was quoted as saying, "The doctors feel that the problem is in my shoulder." USFL may use instant replay MEMPHIS, Tenn. The United States Football League may start relying on instant replay and other TV gadgetry for officiating games, the league's top administrator said Monday.

"If it's there, why not use it," said Chester R. Simmons, commissioner of a league that has just one full season to its credit. "We can make use of the technology that exists in television to assist the officiating."

Neck injury ends season for of quarterback University of Redlands quarterback Jamie Gar-ton, who was injured Saturday night in a football game against Whittier, suffered a slight dislocation of the vertebrae in his neck, according to Redlands coach Frank Serrao. "Apparently, the vertebrae snapped back into place after his helmet was removed at the hospital," Serrao said. Carton, the freshman quarterback from La Sierra High School who started Saturday for injured senior David Ruiz, suffered the injury when he was sacked in the third quarter by Whittier linebacker Gary Day.

Carton was not moved from the field until pa-rademics arrived. He was then taken by ambulance to an area hospital for examination. Serrao said that Garton will not play the remainder of the season. Ex-SBCV star Hughes arrested at San Jose St. SAN JOSE Ted Hughes, a former All-State defensive lineman for San Bernardino Valley College, has returned to practice for the San Jose State football team following his arrest on Oct.

14 on charges of computer fraud and petty theft. Hughes allegedly stole a student's backpack from the San Jose State campus bookstore on Sept. 1. He is accused of using the student's Bank of America bank card (which was in the backpack) twice on Sept. 14 for illegal transactions.

Hughes is also accused of re-selling the student books to the bookstore for $70. Hughes, who started on SBVC's defensive line in 1982, will be arraigned Friday on both charges. The computer fraud charge is a felony; the petty theft is a misdemeanor. Should he subsequently be convicted, he faces a maximum $5,000 fine and or lfi months in the state prison. He was arrested at his dorm on Oct.

14 by campus police and later released on his own recognizance. Hughes has no prior arrest record. San Jose State coach Jack Elway said Hughes was reinstated because "in this country you're innocent until proven guilty." WWliMS felplllii of R's Verdieck is honored again Jim Verdieck is a slight, energetic, outspoken man who earns his living making Ferraris out of hot rods. It's been his yearly task since 1946 when he became the men's tennis coach at the University of Redlands. In addition to his duties at the university, Verdieck has directed advanced player drills and clinics at Dennis Van der Meer's TennisUniversity summer camps at Sweet Briar College in Virginia.

It was here that Van der Meer came to know what folks around here have known for years: Verdieck is a master teacher. This fall, the Professional Tennis Registry of the United States, an organization founded by Van der Meer, heaped yet another well-deserved award on the Redlands coach, a man who has received many during his career. Verdieck was recognized as a "Master Prof essonal" by the Registry, an honor bestowed on only four other teaching professionals Edvard Raastad, national coach of Norway; Ileikki Hedman, national coach of Finland; Evert Ojlsson, junior development coach of Sweden, and Van der Meer. Van der Meer made the announcement at the conclusion of a TennisUniversity graduation ceremony in September. Verdieck, who said he was "sur-pised" by the award, was characteristically modest about receiving it, but finally admitted that he "was honored." For the most part, Verdieck builds squads from the ground up.

Players coming to the University of Redlands usually have a lot to learn about playing competitive tennis. Unlike tennis coaches at the Division I level, Verdieck can't just turn his players loose on a tennis court and expect wins. So he's become a teacher as well as a coach. In the fall, he analyzes each player to find his weaknesses. Once pinpointed, those weaknesses haven't a chance.

Verdieck spends hours in practice sessions, drilling players in the areas where they need work. New team members soon find out that their coach is not an easy person to please. "I'm not a nice guy sometimes," Verdieck says. "One of my players once asked me, 'Don't you ever say anything I told him, 'Yeah, once in awhile, if it's It's a system that works. During Verdieck's 37-year coaching tenure, the Bulldogs have captured 34 Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference titles, 11 NAIA national championships and three NCAA national championships.

Verdieck-coached teams have recorded 342 wins to only six losses in conference play and compiled 907 victories overall. All this without the cream of college talent. Every year is a rebuilding year for Verdieck. So this year, he was in for a pleasant surprise. "It's the first time I've picked up enough people to work with," he said.

"Last year, our highest returning man was 11th on the team the year before. This year, we had a lot of quality people come in." This group includes Kevin Gillette of Redlands, conference champion for San Bernardino Valley College last year; Roy Chow, conference champion for Santa Ana Community College; Andy Johnson, a ranked junior from England; Karl Behring, a senior who was unable to play last year because of serious injuries sustained in an auto accident; Jeff Bubnach, a returning senior; Scott Moore, the singles conference champion in the No.3 spot; Ken Turknette, No.5 conference champion; Rich Frederick, undefeated sixth-man in conference; John Bunch, No.3 doubles conference champion; Matt Armstrong, league champion for Fullerton High School; Hikri Takano of Japan, who attended school in England for six years, and the list goes on and on. Apparently, Verdieck's reputation had a lot to do with attracting the new recruits. For instance, Verdieck got a letter from Johnson inquiring about the program. "He wrote, 'I'd like to learn about your Verdieck said.

"I wrote back and said. 'We don't have Still Johnson decided to enroll at Redlands. Why? "The tennis," Johnson said. "A couple of guys in Britian had been to America and they told me about Coach Verdieck. He seems very intelligent.

He knows a lot about the game and is willing to help you." Verdieck is currently collaborating with Van der Meer on a coaching manual. "I'm putting my 40 years of coaching experience on paper," he said. That could take up volumes and volumes. School of Hope tourney Today is the deadline for entering the 9th annual School of Hope Amateur Tennis Tournament, scheduled for Nov. 6 and 12-13 at six area sites including Staff photo by Larry Rot Goal-oriented Redlands High School goalie Steve Mayse apparently can't bear to look as ball passes him by for a San Gorgonio goal during Monday's Citrus BeltLeague water polo game at San G.

No new talks scheduled for NBA, refs Lakers ivaive Carter, reduce roster to 15 Associated Press INGLEWOOD The Lakers reduced their roster to 15 players Monday by waiving guard Ron Carter, coach Pat Riley said. Carter was attempting a comeback with the National Basketball Association team that drafted him in 1978. He had been out of the NBA since the 1979-80 season. Carter appeared in 46 game for the Lakers during the 1978-79 season, and played in 13 games for Indiana the following year.

The Lakers must reduce their roster to 12 players by Friday, when they open their regular season in Kansas City. keeping them (the players) apart." The contract between the league and officials expired Sept. 1. Russell Granik, the NBA's general counsel, said the league's wage proposal, offered last Thursday, contained a wage increase of 27 percent over three years and that the union was demanding a 48 percent hike. League spokesman Alex Sachare said Sunday that the next move would be a counter-proposal by the union.

Richie Phillips, counsel for the officials, said Monday, "We're planning our next move. We're looking at all our options how to try to move things along." "But it's very difficult to negotiate when the people with whom you are trying to negotiate have no desire to do any bargaining." The league has been using a 28-man substitute officiating staff during the preseason games, including four referees with previous NBA experience. Associated Press NEW YORK The National Basketball Association and the counsel for the league's officials said Monday no further negotiating sessions were planned in the contract impasse between the NBA and its regular referees. The two sides met Sunday for 75 minutes and failed to reach an agreement. The season opens Friday night with nine games, and if no agreement is completed, substitute referees who have worked the exhibition games will officiate the regular-season games.

Larry Fleisher, counsel for the NBA Players Association, said the players "hoped the problems could have been resolved," but added the dispute would not affect his members from playing. Asked if the number of on-court altercations between players during the exhibition season could be traced to the inexperience of the referees, Fleisher said: "I think that could have been a possibility. It's possible the new referees haven't had experience in Kings' Nicholls honored Associated Press MONTREAL Center Bernie Nicholls of the Kings capped a two-game, nine-point splurge by winning National Hockey League player-of-the-week honors Monday for the period of Oct. 17-23. The 22-year-old Nicholls' output for the season is eight goals and seven assists in eight games.
