Devine After Improved Quar Pass BAY, Wis. (AP) Dan Devine, entering his second season as coach of the Green Bay Packers, said Monday he was not satisfied with the job he did in 1971 when the Packers finished with a 4-8-2 record. He said he set as primary goals for 1972 improved quarterbacking and a better pass rush, but indicated some disappointment with his progress. On the brink of his second season as coach of the team which just five years ago came off three straight National Football championships, Devine indicated both problems still remain to be solved in training camp, which begins in earnest in one week. Yet he spoke uptimisftically of improvement.

personally feel I do a very good job of coaching last said Devine, who in 13 previous season at the University of Missouri had forged one of the greatest records in the college coaching ranks. I feel much better prepared to evaluate this he said. year ago, at our spring camp in Arlington, Texas, I really had a chance to evaluate our personnel and I believe what we saw fastest man had only 4.7 speed in the 40, and one of our bevSt backs is only 5.2.” But I've got faith in our players this year, and faith in our coaching Devine told a news conference at the Packers' annual golf outing for the media. been around long enough to know got to have other things, but if got faith in your players and faith in the coaching staff, win a lot of those 13-10 and 17-14 he said. think everybody coming in right now wants to win so bad he can taste it, and I think got good football Devine declined to say whom he would start at quarterback if he had to play a scheduled season opener against Cleveland today.

The passing efficiency declined sharply last year, with 121 completions in 254 attempts while having 24 intercepted. got to improve our protection, simplify our passing game, and cut down on he said. know that will happen, and the guy who will do that will Devine said quarterback Bart Starr, who said recently he would try a 17th season with the Packers, looks better shape that been in a long time, and one of the few people on this team who really knows what it is to would be very simple to remove name frcm the roster, but that could affect the team in a hundred different Devine said. the th'rd youngest team in the league, and most of our players have never really competed for a championship. I believe contribution to this team can be very significant, both on and off the Devine said quarterback Scott Hunter should profit from a year's experience, I think he has a fine He noted a third quarterback, No.

The Lasers are now 8-5 with only a game at Slinger today remaining on their schedule. Kewaskum, which had been tied with Kettle Moraine, lost to Grafton Monday. 5-2, and fell to 7-6. Kewaskum and Hartland are now both 7-6 and tied for third place, and will play their league finale today at Kewaskum.

Arrowhead rallied for seven runs the bottom of the fifth inning to beat Slinger Monday, 10-5. Kettle Moraine pitcher Pat Houk won his fourth game of the season against two losses with a four-hitter against Germantown. He had seven strikeouts in the game. Mike Maryarski backed up Houk by figuring in five of his six runs. In the second inning the Lasers scored once as Maryarski reached base on an error, John Smart sacrificed him up to second and Bob Anderson singled.

In the third inning Kettle Moraine added three more runs. Darryl Baker was safe on an error, Houk beat out an infield roller, Dave Stewart reached on a fielder's choice, Maryarski doubled and Smart singled home two runs. Tony Hettich walked in the fifth and Maryarski tripled and scored on an error for the last two Laser runs. Pete three-run homer in the fifth helped Arrowhead overcome a 5-3 deficit. John Dibb.

who had four hits in the game including a solo homer in the first inning, started fifth with a single. Dan Soch walked and Gutchenrit- ter homered. Kevin Stapleton then reached on one of six Slinger errors, and that was followed by a single by Dan Solwold, who had three hits in the game, and a walk to Todd Morris. Rich Landwehr singled home two runs, Dibb singled in another and Landwehr scored on an error. After homer in the first, Soch reached on an error, took second on an error and scored on single.

Dibb singled and eventually scored on a passed ball in the third inning. John Daley was the winning pitcher, giving up eight hits while striking out nine batters and walking two. Doris Day Would be Perfect in Role of Mrs Gera, Woman Ump Christian Science Monitor News Service I think it was Fred Allen, the old radio comedian, who first suggested that baseball hire women umpires. It was contention that no woman ever thinks a man is safe when out! I wish I could believe that. But after what happened to Mrs.

Bernice Gera recently in the New York-Perm League, I have my doubts. After fighting a six- year legal battle to get into organized baseball as an umpire, Mrs. Gera finally made it. She was assigned to work the bases in the first game of a doubleheader between Geneva and Auburn. What happened was strictly a case of arsenic and old lace.

With everybody watching her, she blew an obvious call in the fourth inning then reversed her decision. For a woman umpire, thi sis like machine- gunning your own life boat. Anyway, her call brought Auburn Manager Nolan Campbell racing from the dugout with a verbal protest. In fact, it was so verbal it got him thrown out of the game. The thing which surprises me is that anybody should think that Mrs.

Gera is unique. Women have been umpiring men and nations for years. And while they may not be able to influence the weather, they often raise havoc with office vacation schedules. Like the majority of new Broadway shows, though, Mrs. Gera opened and closed her act with one performance.

She resigned right after the game. But if the movies ever get wind of what happened, sure to mean another million dollars for Doris Day. I mean, who else would you get to play part? I can see it all now. Doris arrives on the field in an uniform which has been tailored by Christian Dior. Her blond hair is tied with a bow in the back.

Instead of cleats on her shoes, got rhinestone buckles on the top. a sellout crowd. Marlon Brando, who plays the commissioner of baseball, is attending his first game in four years. At a time like this, hang the office. It can run itself.

Jack Lemmon is the opposing manager who gets so upset with Miss Day that he marry her until the final reel. And Tab Hunter is the local homerun king Nicklaus Is Perfect on British Open Course MUIRFIELD, Scotland (AP) knew Bobby Jones said Jack Nicklaus, I like to think he would be very happy if I won the Grand That remark from the American favored to win the British Open championship this week bridged a whole era of golf. The late and much-loved Jones achieved what then was called the Grand Slam in 1930, when he won the amateur and open championships of both the United States and Britain. His feat stands as one of the supreme acts of competitive golf. Nicklaus now faces an even more formidable challenge in an age when rivalry is more intense, when the rewards are great and when the golf explosion has brought the game into every home via television.

He has won the U.S. Masters and Open. The British title has to be next, and the American PGA in August to sweep the big jewels for the modem slam crown. not thinking about bringing off all said Nicklaus, sporting tartan slacks. playing the tournaments one at a time, and enough to think Nicklaus, who won the first of his two British crowns here in 1966, never has been beaten over par 36-35-71 layout.

He took a one-iron off the tee on must crucial holes with thin fairways banked by heavy rough. This time the rough has been out back a little, but Nicklaus may use the strategy that brought hton victory six years ago. Defending champion Lee Trevino was second favorite behind Nicklaus. Gary PLayer of South Africa was third choice with the bookies for the title worth $10,400 to the winner. Arnold Palmer, a 20-1 shot but always a popular contender, said after his first practice round: is playing fast and short.

My feeling is that women should stick to golf and tennis and forget baseball. Billy Jean King made over $100,000 on the courts last year and Whitworth of the LPGA did well with a hot putter.

On the amateur side there is always gymnastics. Until Cathy Rigby of the U.S. won a silver medal at the Yugoslavian Games in 1970, most American teen-age girls preferred listening to records or ironing their hair. But when they saw what six or seven hours of daily exercise can do for a figure, legs and complexion, it suddenly became fashionable to go to a gymnasium for instruction. Sharon also struck a blow for lib a couple of years ago when she twice soloed the Pacific in boats which would almost fit in a bathtub.

Nothing to it. These were just little 74- day journeys out of sight of land, people and television. Of course there was the small problem of six storms with wind velocities of from 54 to 73 miles per hour. But mostly the weather was good. Then there was Morganna Roberts, the Baltimore night club dancer, who devised her own quick route to Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, N.Y.

Morganna got her exercise by vaulting onto the field during a game, kissing a ballplayer on the cheek and then running off again. She was five-for-five, including road games, until the Los Angeles police declared her a Top Seeds Gain ST. LOUIS (AP) The topseeded youngsters in the 11th annual St. Louis Junior Invitational Tennis Tournament breezed to easy victories Monday in the opening matches of the competition.

The tourney will begin Thursday at 6 p.m. with Pewaukee against Brookfield Central of the Braveland Conference. Brookfield East will then meet Hartland Airowheadt at 6 p.m. Friday while the winner of game will play Kettle Moraine at the same time Friday.

The regional championship game is slated 1:30 p.m. Saturday. Pewaukee made it to the state tournament in West Bend last season but then lost to the eventual state champion, Alma. Alma beat Pewaukee, 3-0 in that game. Should any of the games be rained out, the following day the makeup games will be held.

For instance if games are rained out the games will be played Saturday at 1:30 p.m. and the championship game will move to Saturday night at a time still to be determined. All games must be completed by Saturday thus rain on Saturday could foul up the entire state tournament system. In last regional Pewaukee faced Brookfield East in the opening game and then won the regional over Brookfield Central. The respective scores were 4-0 and 5-0.

Pewaukee made it to the state tourney on the strength of Bill pitching. Beno had a one-hitter against Brookfield East, a four-hitter against Central and then defeated Darlington, 9-2 on a two- hitter. Beno missed much of that season due to a broken ankle and returned just in time for the tournament. This year Beno has been healthy all year. Brookfield Central first ousted Kettle Moraine, 4-3 in last regional and then tripped Hartland, 10-7 before running up agai st Pewaukee.

Chess Meet Begins REYHAWK. Iceland (AP) American challenger Bobby Fischer and Russian defender Boris Spassky finally begin play this afternoon in the richest and most publicized world chess championship of all time unless some new snag develops. Last-minute adjustments were being made on the stage of seat sports hall. The playing table was shortened, the green-and-white marble chessboard constructed for the fourth time, and the overhead lighting changed. But these were small details compared to the tangled negotiations and war of nerves that preceded the encounter, originally set to start July 2.

He conceded Tagge was relatively unimpressive in the recent Coaches All- Star game, but predicted he would perform much better in the College All-Star game next month, when he will play under his coach at Nebraska, Bob Devaney. Devine indicated an improved defensive line depends in large measure on the performance of such rookies as linebackers Dave Pureifory and Eric Patton, and second-year men Donnell Smith and Jim DeLisle. He said if Pureifory could come through at right linebacker, defensive end Alden Roche might be switched to the left side with Clarence Williams, the regular left defensive end most of last year, switched to tackle. Linebacker Fred Carr also may get a shot at defensive end if Pureifory or Patton come through, Devine said, but he anticipated few other position changes. Devine also said he foresaw the pros making limited use of the quarterback options and Wishbone formations that have altered the offense in collegiate football.

Rookies are due to arrive Tuesday, night, and begin two-a-day drills Thursday, with veterans expected in camp Friday for two-a-day drills for the entire squad beginning a week hence.

The day proved interesting, all right, but it spelled disaster fcr Himilton as the Breaveland clubs broke loose for 77 runs in five games. Hamilton lost to Port Washington, 8-2 to fall from first place as Homestead shocked Brookfield East, 23-2. In other league games Menomonee Falls North tied Nicolet Cedarburg blanked Brookfield Central, 4-0, and Menomonee Falls East lost to Brown Deer, 13-7.

Brookfield East put togethr a dozen errors, four wild pitches, four passed balls hit batsmen and eight walks to go along with 13 Homestead hits to allow the sheallacking. Just four of the Homestead runs in the game were earned. The spartans used four pitchers in the game. It was a far cry from the 11 contest earlier. Hamilton, which plays at Homestead Thursday, scored its two runs in the sixth inning without one of its five total hits.

Dave Miller was hit by a pitch, Dan Smith walked, a balk moved the runners up and Scott Tetzlaff hit a pop fly to left field which was dropped. With two outs, the base runners were on the move and both scored. By that time it was too late. Port Washington scored four runs in the second and fourth innings to give pitcher Bill Fowler the victory. Chuck Roberts was the losing pitcher.

Brookfield East scored lone nans in the first and fith innings In the first Bill Goral singled and John Rovens doubled. In the fifth Bob Goodman singled, Greg Scbroeder walked, a passed ball' moved the runners up and Goodman scored on Bob ground out.

John Meicarek, Rob Shaw, Goral and, John Rosenberg worked on the mound for East.

Falls had only three hits in the game, and Nicolet had only six off Falls ers Jeff Axt and Russ Mathews. Butw there were 13 errors in the game (seven by Nicolet,) and Nicolet pitchers yielded 13 walks. Falls was successful on eight of nine steal attempts.

Falls had a 7-1 lead at one time, score- ing four runs in the second inning and three in the third. In the second, Axt and Jim Kohl each walked and Mike Rupnow songled to load the bases. A walk to Al Meyer forced home a run, Roy Segebarth singled home two runs and Meyer scored. on Kim sacrifice fly. third inning runs came by way of five- errors and two walks.
