Maren Seidler won the AAU women's shot put for the ninth time and rewrote her own meet record with a 59-8 effort. a 11.23 to Moreheads 11.25.

In the women's 100-meter hurdles, LaPlante ran a meet record 13.19 to edge Van Wolvelaere, who had a 13.22. Veteran Arnie Robinson won the long jump for the sixth time with a wind-aided leap of 27-4, and James Lofton finished se ches with a wind-aided 10.14. Defending champion Quarrie was timed in 10.15. Hodges and Morehead had run a dead heat for a meet record 11.14 in Thursday's qualifying the 100, but Hodges, from Texas Woman's University, won the finals with second at 7-4l4. Gail Olson, the highly regarded high school student from Illinois, finished eighth with a jump of 7-OMi.

Edwards, the NCAA champion in both the 100 and 200, will try for an AAU double by running in today's 200. In Friday's 100, he beat Don Quarrie by in "The difference here was that I could concentrate on my race rather than other things," said Nehemiah, who has expressed displeasure with Maryland Coach Frank Costello for using him in other events. Nehemiah, a wiry 6-foot, 162-pounder, credited his victory to a fast start, better even than Owens, who is known as one of the quickest out of the blocks in track today. "I ran the first part of the race like I did indoors," he said. "That way, Foster would have to catch me." Nehemiah is now headed for meets in Europe, and was asked about the possibility of running against Alejandro Casanas of Cuba, the world LOS ANGELES UP) one had all the big guys," said Renaldo Nehemiah, a 19-year-old who is rapidly establishing himself as one of the "big guys" in track, Nehemiah, a freshman at Maryland, beat an outstanding field in the 110-meter hurdles Friday at the AAU Track and Field Championships, running a meet record 13.28.

The victory avenged a loss to UCLA's Greg Foster in the recent NCAA championships.

His best finish was third overall in a Ferrari In 1971, and he was not happy with the Mirages during qualifying here. "But there's a chance ii we run a cool race and the others run into trouble," said Posey of Sharon, who admits to loving the atmosphere and challenge of the classic. The best chance of an American win seems to be the team of veteran Florida driver Peter Gregg, 38, with Hurley Haywood in one of the works Porsche 936 Speedsters. The pair have won both the Daytona 24 and Sebring 12-hour races, and Haywood, 30, shared the winning Porsche of Jackie Ickx and Jurgen Barth last year. Marathon runner to run across U.S.

BOSTON (AP) A 23-year-old marathon runner is scheduled to leave Medford, Saturday on a 80-day run across the United States. David J. McGillivray of Medford, is making the run to raise funds for the Jimmy Fund, to benefit research of cancer in children. IDEAL POOLS FREE POOi WATER ANALYSIS -ft fflERICHOSCO. mama tamp PflfU EaimUiiM TL i sj intj nor IUD unioct a im nLfL 22S4440-223-S3SI-UUIU COLUMBIA A controversial wildlife department request to reclassify 38 trout streams in Greenville, Oconee and Pickens counties is being withdrawn, the department announced recently.

At public hearings conducted by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), department personnel met strong local opposition to the proposal, mostly from private landowners. Dr. James. Timmerman executive director of the South Carolina Wildlife and Marine Resources Department, said the opposition to the department's request came as a "complete surprise to me and the department's fisheries staff." The landowners felt that DHEC's trout stream standards as proposed in the reclassification were to vague and too stringent, a claim with which the wildlife department agrees. "It became apparent at the hearings," Timmerman added, "that there was considerable misunderstanding of the intent of the wildlife department's request." He said the request "was a move to keep the few remaining streams in their current unpolluted state.

There was never any intent to control land use practices of property owners with land adjacent to trout streams. "It has always been a policy of the wildlife department to work with landowners and their concerns. Since the department agrees that the DHEC restrictions were too vague and stringent, our request has been withdrawn." Take look. off McCORMICK Boaters and fishermen cruising into a certain cove at Clark Hill Reservoir may take a gander, as in looking, but please leave the geese alone, asks a South Carolina wildlife biologist. A project on the lake to create a resident population of the Canada goose is coming along fine, according to Robert Gooding, a district wildlife biologist with the South Carolina Wildlife and Marine Resources Department.

According to Gooding, who conceived the project several years ago, this is the first year the young goslings with their parents have moved out on the lake. It's not unusual to see several proud pair of parents surrounded by a hoard of young geese of various sizes swimming in the cove adjacent to the department's waterfowl area. Gooding is asking boaters and fishermen to avoid the birds. Leave them alone, he says, or it could be detrimental to the project. It's also against federal and state law to molest the birds in any way.

"I've run into many fishermen and boaters," the biologist said, "who didn't seem to know what they (the geese) are." during the period Oct. 4 to Dec. 27 by U.S. Forest Service personnel assigned to the Savannah River Forest Station. Stillstalk hunts will be conducted during four periods this fall: Oct.

25-28, Nov. 1-4, 23-25, and Dec. 6-9. The first day of each stillstalk hunting period is reserved for scouting, followed by three days of hunting. Eight dog-drive hunts will be conducted on Saturdays and 13 on Wednesdays.

Application forms for this year's deer hunts may be obtained by writing: SRP Deer Hunts, U.S. Forest Service, P.O. Box Aiken, S.C. 29801. Participants will have until July 18 to have applications post-marked.

Applications will be selected by randomized computer drawing again this year. Hunters may apply for only one hunt, either dog-drive or stillstalk. A fee of S15 per hunter must be included with the application.

They can be taken along the edges and off brush piles in M0 feet of water casting early in the morning and late in the afternoon using top water lures and plastic worms. Crappie are being taken off brush piles and around piers in 10-12 feet of water using minnows. Large stripers, weighing up to 25 pounds, are being taken while drifting in deep water to shallow shoals, using large minnows and bream. Trotlines are the best bet for taking catfish. Shel-Icrackers and bream are scattered but are good catches using crickets and night crawlers.

McGillivrary who is planning to average about 40 miles a day, will be accompanied by three friends driving a motor home.

State police along the route have been notified. McGil-livray's route will take him through Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and finally, Massachusetts. The runner is expected to finish his run in Medford, on Aug. 29. horse racing ALBANY, Calif.

Afifa, $7.40, scored a 2ft length victory over Queen of Reason in the 127,000 Linita Handicap at Golden Gate Fields. BALTIMORE Obiwankenobl, $8.60, won the seventh race at Pimllco Race Course. CHICAGO Man's Man, $10.00, scored a four-length victory over Romeo in the $12,000 Omaha Purse at Arlington Park. Overall, however, the local public has received this project better than any other he's been involved with, said Gooding. "If the public cooperates," he continued, "we should have a sizable population within the next three or four years." It may take a little longer, however, to get them up to a turntable population.

A huntable population is the reason behind the project. Fewer geese come to South Carolina each winter during their annual migration despite record numbers of the birds in the Atlantic Flyway. Geese that normally would come to South Carolina to spend the winter are "short stopped" in the Mid Atlantic States where agricultural and game management practices provide for the birds so well they just stay there for the 'winter. Gooding's project is designed to provide the state with its own resident flock which the biologist says will also improve the waterfowl situation in the state's Piedmont Region. Currently Gooding has about 95 adult geese with 55 young hatched this year, most of which "should make it," he observed.

"Once they get up to a certain size they'll be O.K." That is if nobody disturbs them. The state of Georgia has a similar project underway on the southern shore of the Lake. Both states are engaged in the projects with the cooperation of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the local public. Deer hunt dates set AIKEN Dates have been set for the annual series of deer hunts this fall on the Savannah River Plant of the U.S.

Department of Energy. These hunts are conducted to control the size of the deer population, to reduce deer-vehicle accidents, and to provide recreation. The deer population on the plant site is about 7,000 at present. Two types of hunts will be conducted again this year dog-drive and stillstalk. All hunts will be conducted for the Department of Energy ST.
