8 POST-CAZETTEi March 21, 1983 -ObituariesWeather- W.K. Smith, pioneer in sports medicine Frank 70, dies, retired coach of Pirates Frank Oceak, a 40-year veteran of organized baseball and third base coach for two Pittsburgh Pirate world champion teams, died Saturday in Conemaugh Valley Memorial Hospital in Johnstown, Cambria County. An associate of the late Pirate Manager Danny Murtaugh, Mr. Oceak, 70, coached for the Pirates from 1958 through 1964 and re-turned in 1970. He retired in 1972.

The Pirates won the World Series in 1960 and 1971 with Mr. Oceak in the third base coaching box. Murtaugh's fond nickname for his longtime associate and friend was "Suicide," based on Mr. Oceak's penchant for sending runners home from third in precarious situations. Mr.

Oceak, a native of Virginia, began his career in professional baseball with the New York Yan kees'' Cumberland, farm club. For part of his career, he managed in the minor leagues while playing the infield and pitching. Surviving are his wife, Julia M. Oceak; two daughters, Mary Ann Poole of Marietta, and Kather-ine Stofa of Cincinnati, Ohio; two stepsons, Joseph Patti of Mechan-icsburg, Cumberland County, and David Patti of Hazelcrest, 111; three sisters, Mary Kassler of Fairview, N.J.; Rose Jankowski of Cliffside, N.J.; and Ann Gowey of Lakehurst, N.J.; a brother, Steve of Bergen-field, N.J.; and 11 grandchildren. Friends may call from 2 to 4 p.m.

and 7 to 9 p.m. today in the Picking-Treece-Bennett Mortuary, 514 Somerset Johnstown. A Mass will be said at 10 a.m. tomorrow in St. Benedict Church, Guystown.

Burial will be in St. Joseph's Cemetery. Dr. William K. Smith, 67, an orthopedic surgeon who for nearly three decades was the physician of the University of Pittsburgh athletic department, died Saturday in his home in Dorseyville after a short illness.

Dr. Smith, a native of Springville, N.Y., had been on the staff of West Penn Hospital for more than 30 years. A graduate of Butler High School, he received his bachelor of science degree at Grove City College and received his medical degree at Pitt in 1944. He interned at St. Francis General Hospital.

While attending medical school, he was an assistant trainer at Pitt and was named team physician in 1944. "He was a pioneer in sports medicine," Dr. Alexander Lowy, an associate, explained. "He not only developed surgical procedures which insured rapid recovery from injuries, but he also designed safety equipment which prevented injuries." The latter included special kneer and ankle braces that he designed in cooperation with Howard Waite, former Pitt trainer, and a football cleat that would "give" under stress, thus preventing knee or ankle injuries. He was especially successful in treating knees surgically.

performed more than 5,000 operations on knees alone," said waite, who now lives in Tucson, Ariz. "He developed a procedure by which he could repair knee cartilage damage by making an incision of less than an inch. He also designed the surgical tools for this operation. His proficiency in repairing athletic injuries often backfired on the Panthers. A number of team physicians at other schools, including Pitt opponents, often sent their injured athletes to Dr.

Smith. They often returned in the same season to help defeat Pitt. Dr. Smith was a member of a number of medical associations. He was made an honorary member of the National Athletic Trainers Association in 1971.

"He was on the advisory committee of the Trainers Association from 1956 to 1970, helping to formulate the direction of trainers," recalled Pinky Newell, former trainer at Purdue University and executive secretary of the organization from 1955 through 1968. "He was named to the committee on grants and scholarships in 1972 and stayed on the committee." Dr. Smith was believed to have been the first team doctor to have an entire staff of physicians and surgeons on the bench at home football games. "He had doctors available to take care of any emergency," Dr. Lowy1 recalled.

Dr. Smith worked under a number of Pitt coaches, and he ministered to many All-America football players. He was recipient of the Grove City College Achievement Award and was president of his graduating class in medical school. He was a member of Grove City Lodge 603 the New Castle Scottish Rite; and Syria Temple. He is survived by his wife, Margaret, a classmate at Grove City college; a son, William K.

Jr. of Indiana Township; and a sister, Jane Berlo of Lodi, Ohio. A memorial service will be held at 7 p.m. tomorrow in the Young Funeral Home, 137 W. Jefferson Butler.

Here it is the first day of spring, and snow is in the forecast several inches, according to the National Weather Service. Yep, the white stuff that must have gone south for the winter is coming back to Pittsburgh today.

The weather service isn't making any predictions for accumulation because the precipitation will begin this morning as rain with temperatures at 34 degrees. But the thermometer will drop slowly all day with the rain changing to snow by the afternoon. And if just the thought of snow isn't chilling enough, there could be more heading our way by next weekend. Temperatures will remain in the 30s most of the week. A major storm scheduled to hit California in midweek, however, could trigger a snow storm next weekend.

Spring officially rolled into the city at 11:39 last night, signaling the vernal equinox the time when the sun crosses the equator and makes night and day equal length in all parts of the earth. Never mind the calendar. Everyone has been enjoying springlike weather since December. Temperatures hit the 70s for four days in December, remained unseasonably in the 60s during January, rose to the high 60s in late February and topped at 76 degrees March 7. There were only two "major" snowstorms to hit Pittsburgh this winter, and the biggest was a measly 6-incher on Feb.

11, when the rest of the Northeast was buried by as much as 36 inches. The Pittsburgh snow total this winter is 28.3 inches, nearly a foot below normal. But this year's spring forecast isn't unique. Remember that last spring the Pirates' season opener on April 6 was postponed because of snow. Paul J.

"Bulldog" Relder, captain and halfback on the University of Pittsburgh's 1932 Rose Bowl football team, died Saturday in Shady-side Hospital. Mr. Reider, 74, of 1820 Shaler Drive, Glenshaw, played varsity football at Pitt in 1930, 1931 and 1932. He was an honorable mention Ail-American Board selection in 1931 and was on the New York Times All-American team in 1931. In 1931, he gained 182 yards receiving in the game against Army, a record later broken by Dwight Collins in 1980 against Florida State.

Mr. Reider also held a WPIAL record for 22 touchdowns in one season, playing for New Castle High School in 1927. He also played basketball for Pitt and baseball for the Pirates' minor league system until he was injured in 1932. He coached Westminster College football in 1936. Mr.

Reider entered the Lawrence County Hall of Fame in 1974. He worked as a yardmaster for the Pennsylvania Railroad for many years and later was a director for the Interstate Commerce Commission for 22 years before retiring in 1973. He was a member of St. Bonaventure Church, Glenshaw. Surviving are his wife, Clara; a brother, George of New Castle; and two sisters, Marie Jones of New Castle and Agnes Quarello of Kent, Ohio.

About 80 percent of the students were sent home to their families or relatives in the area, Frank Grimes of the Red Cross said yesterday. About 30 other students were housed in the basement or first floor of the building.
