C-4 THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Friday, February 6, 1976 Looking To Coach 4 At 22, Joan Shadley Too Old fT" lis By JACK MURRAY Enquirer Sports Reporter What area two-sport collegiate star said this: "I hope somebody gets pregnant or something." If you guessed Joan Shadley of the College of Mount Saint Joseph, you are correct. Shadley. senior co-captain on the national finalist volleyball team and high scorer on the school's basketball team, is job hunting. Since post-collegiate athletic competition for women Is limited, the only other avenue left open is coaching, where the market is tight. "I COULD be unemployed," said Shadley, looking ahead.

Looking behind, Shadley has left her exploits on the playing fields of Ursuline and the Mount and in various swimming pools around the city. "It's really hard to face or cope with," said Shadley, "that after eight full years of competing in two team sports I'll be too old." She'll be 22. Coaching is the alternative to all-out competition. "I want to instill what I know into youngsters," said Shadley. "I've got my application in to various high schools.

It's tough to get in. I hope somebody, gets pregnant or something." Shadley's has a definite advantage over other physical eduction majors. She's versatile. And experienced as a player. She often defeated her friend Jenny Kemp at swimming meets.

Of course, that was when they were nine to 12 years old; Shadley branched out. Kemp went to the Olympics and found gold. Shadley has no regrets. "I SWAM three or four years for the Marlins but I didn't want to spend all my time in the water," said Shadley. Her four other brothers and sisters are also active in athletics with swimming the starting point.

Her father doesn't mind having a star athlete for a daughter. "Whatever we decide to get in to is fine with him," said Shadley. "Whatever we do he backs us in it." The challenge of competing against other women on the court is what drew Shadley. "You spend hours a day trying to meet a challenge. Once you meet the challenge you have a good feeling," added the 5-7, 140-pounder.

Shadley has seen "incredible Improvement" among area schools such as Northern Kentucky, Cincinnati, Miami, Dayton and Wright State in the area of women's athletics. "The thing to work for is to get the backing that men's teams like Notre Dame and UCLA receive from their schools. That's why I'm in it. I may not see that in my lifetime," said Shadley. For the record, the Mount is 6-3 with eight games left before Shadley's active career ends.

Then it's on to teach little Joan Shadleys, she hopes. 2A Musketeers Find Victory Enjoyable By PAUL RITTER Enquirer Sports Reporter The Xavier University basketball players put a little fun In their lives Wednesday night. They turned a tightly-contested game with Wheeling College Into a laugher, leaving XU coach Tay Baker all smiles after his ninth victory in 17 games this season. Baker, ordinarily quick to critique, couldn't find a single flaw, in the Musketeers' 95-73 performance and his smile broadened each time he glanced at the post-game statistics. L'NDER THE heading of "team totals" came a' season-high 63 rebounds, Impressive against a club which matched the Muskies in size.

There was also a 49 field goal accuracy and 23 assists. As Baker scanned the individual performances his eyes twinkled. Dale Haarman, the 6-foot-6 Junior forward, cracked a four-game scoring slump with 27 points, had 11 rebounds and shoveled five assists. Nick Daniels, the 6-5 freshman guard who single-handedly buried the Cardinals in the second half, showed 21 points, 15 rebounds, five assists, three steals and two blocked shots. Six-foot Garry Whitfield, Mister Consistency as the Muskies' play-making guard, came through with 14 points, five rebounds and six assists.

But Baker was most pleased with the work of 6-10 sophomore center Joe Sunderman. SUNDERMAN HAS experienced an on-and-off, up-and-down season which has proven disappointing to both player and coach. Wednesday night, however, the big LaSalle High product played one of his best games, scoring 11 points and taking down seven rebounds in 21 minutes of action. Then there was Stan McCoy, a 6-2 Junior reserve guard, who came off the bench to claim 10 rebounds and three assists in 13 minutes of playing time. Why was the Muskie machine running so smoothly? Because the Muskies were running.

It has become apparent that, when Xavier has its up-tempo game going, the Muskies can play with most teams on their schedule. Naturally, a fast-break offense is contingent upon strong rebounding. That's what the Muskies had Wednesday night and it enabled them to rout a team which had won 19 games this season. jVo Superstars In Anderson 's Swim Crown Joan Shadley- At this point, coach Butler is uncertain at which school she will be teaching and coaching next year but she won't be spending too much time thinking about that as she is preparing her team for the University of Cincinnati's high school invitational February 21 which should determine the city champion.

Second-place finishes were also turned in by the 400 freestyle relay team of Farrell, Nelson, Raker and Leslie Besanko, Robin Browne in the 100 butterfly and Libby Knappe in the diving completion. Freshman Leslie Besanko also finished third In the 50 freestyle. Robin Browne and Rose Ann Farrell are two of coach Butler's standouts. "Both always give 100, they're very hard workers and they've both brought down their times considerably," said the coach.

Robin and Rose Ann have limited their outside activities in order to concentrate on swimming. Robin lists her only hobby as "just having fun," which seems consistent with her happy-go-lucky personality. ROBIN'S FAVORITE events are the shorter butterfly distances. She holds the school record for the 100 butterfly, 18.6. and the 200 Individual medley, 2:33.6.

Rose Ann Is the current school record holder in her favorite event, the 200 freestyle, 2:12, and the 100 freestyle, :59.9. Both records came during the Hoppin' Gators' last meet of the regular season against Princeton. By JOYCE DAl'GHERTY Enquirer Contributor Cindy Butler has had a few ups and downs during her five years as head coach of Anderson's girls swim team but for now, things are looking pretty bright. Butler's team won the first Hamilton County League girls swimming and diving championship two years ago but sank to a mediocre 5-4 season record last year while Wyoming took the league tiUe. "A lot of kids gave It up because last year was the first time we were practicing five days a week," explains Butler.

For those who stayed with the team, the dally practices paid off as Anderson finished the season with a 6-2 record and won the "76 HCL title In convincing style last weekend. The Hoppin' Gators' medley relay quartet of junior Karen Black-well, sophomore Robin Browne and freshmen Julie Johnson and Cindy Nelson finished first, as did junior Rose Ann Farrell in the 200 freestyle and sophomore Ruth Moon In the 100 breaststroke. "WE REALLY don't have one superstar," says Butler. "A lot of our meets have been won on our depth." That statement held true last week as Robin Browne and Cindy Nelson finished second and third, respectively, in the 100 freestyle and Robin competes for the Anderson Hills Swim Club during the summer while Rose Ann represented the newly formed Coney Island Swim Club last summer. Both girls have been swimming competitively since they were 10.

"I think one of the reasons we're so strong Is that all the kids swim year 'round," theorizes coach Butler. Butler is no newcomer to the sport. Originally from Springfield, she started swimming competitively at the age of eight and at 13 held the New England record in the 100 freestyle in her age group. FOLLOWING a state ruling, the girls' swim season will be held in the spring starting next year. Since Butler's '76 team is comprised largely of freshmen and sophomores, one would expect an optimist outlook for the future but such is not the case.

Ralston also named Mike id-dings, former coach of the Hawai-ians in the now defunct World Football League, as a Broncos scout. Anderson's school district will be splitting up as Turpin High School opens in the fall. "I don't think either one of the teams will be very strong," says a disappointed Robin Browne, who will be going to Turpin. Teammate Rose Ann Farrell concurs. "We're going to be losing a lot of people to Turpin."

Eastwick tied for the National League lead in saves with 22, won one and saved another in the playoffs and chalked up two victories and a save in the World Series. Eastwick joined the Reds on May 20 after being recalled from Indianapolis. Walnut Hills Snaps West's Swim Reign Walnut Hills High's swimming team, runnerup the last two years, finally broke Western Hills' six-year hold on the Public High School League Swimming and Diving -Championships Thursday night at Aiken's Natatorlum. Winning eight of the 11 events and wiping out three Western Hills league records, Walnut Hills came up with 380 points. Western Hills was second at 355, followed by Aiken 154'i, Woodward 143'-i and Wlthrow 51 Mi.

Top point producer for the winners was Todd Cresset, who won a record-setting 100-yard butterfly, the 100 backstroke and was on the winning medley relay team. Cros-set's butterfly time of 56.5 broke the 57.1 mark set in 1970 by West Hills' Tom Gardner. Other double winners were Reed (200 free and 500 free) and-Dale Fritsch (100 free and 200 individual medley relay), victor, whose 2:08 in the latter broke the 2:08.5 record set in 1969 by West High's Vic Vince Berndsen. Rounding out the Walnut Hills winners was Barbie Weinstein in The dive, whose 457.10 point total for the one-meter event wiped out Greg Beall's 1970 mark of 346.40. West High won the other three events, with Joel Prickett doubling in the 50 free and freestyle relay, while Ed Stoehr won the 100 breast-, stroke.

Motor Trend Magazine CAR OF THE YEAR One Vote For Marquette Rv RILL AN7ER Playing in 9200-seat Millet By BILL ANZER Playing in 9200-seat Millett 17 Redskins have drawn no more than 5647 for any one game since the first of the Enquirer Sports Reporter Miami University has played its share of basketball giants this winter and about the only good to have come from it is that it has made coach Darrell Hedric something of a rating expert.

The Redskins have been matched with the likes of Cincinnati, Marquette, Kentucky, Michigan and Princeton, to say nothing of unbeaten Western Michigan. Asked Thursday at the Miami basketball luncheon for a comparison of the teams, Hedric came up with this answer: "Marquette is best, but Western Michigan most certainly deserves to be ranked. We got a good licking at Western Michigan. They made us play badly." THE MAJOR thrust at the luncheon was not all basketball, though. There was a good bit of concern offered by athletic director Dick Shrider over the lack of attendance at home games.

year. The average for the past five nome games has been 3298. It was also announced that a major gift campaign is to be launched to obtain financial backing to begin construction on a new football stadium. THE REDSKINS return to action Saturday against Bowling Green and Hedric said he expects to play a lot of players. "It will be our speed against their size," said Hedric.

Last week, against Central Michigan, Hedric inserted a new lineup that included Archie Aldridge at center, a new position for him. "We haven't been as strong as we would like to be at center," Hedric explained. "Injuries have hurt us. But, this week, we'll have Mike Kearney back at that spot." Kearney has been out with a painful back injury. Shumate Debut On TV Is it really roomy, and rides like a big car? YES! The Volare 4-Door Sedan is the roomiest car in its class.

Cross County CP, Inc. 8536 Colerain Ave. Oinninnwri. CH. By JIMMY (The Greek) SNYDER LAS VEGAS John Shumate makes his network television debut as a pro when the Buffalo Braves go to Philadelphia in Sunday afternoon's basketball matchup.

The 6-10 Shumate was stricken with a blood disease that forced him to sit out his first year with Phoenix. He was a long-shot comeback candidate who beat the odds. This is his true rookie year, and he should add plenty of firepower to the Buffalo offense. It's been a roller-coaster year for pro basketball In Buffalo, with talk of moving the franchise, the sus- pension of Bob McAdoo, the benching of backcourt ace Ernie Di- Gregorio and finally, the trade that sent Garfield Heard packing to Phoenix with a draft choice and money for the high-scoring Shumate. Philadelphia, meanwhile, has dropped down in class since Billy broke down.

Six weeks ago they were challenging Boston first place. Now they're looking' over their shoulders at the Knicks. BUFFALO'S ON the rise, but against the 76ers on their own court I make it Philadelphia by 3. In Saturday's early college basketball games: Notre Dame 26 over Davidson, Indiana 16 over Michigan, Purdue 5 Wisconsin, Northwestern 5 over Illinois, Rhode Island 1 over DePaul, Tennessee 5 over Kentucky, El Paso 7 over New Mexico, St Louis 7 over Xavier of Ohio, Miami (Ohio) 5 over Bowling Green, Maryland 15 over Duke. Kansas 8 over Oklahoma, South Carolina 16 over Temple, Texas Tech 5 over Texas Christian, Oregon 9 over California.

THE NBA owners are saying "no merger" to the ABA, but I don't bf-I'lvea word of it, Jimmy The Greek No common draft? It's not practical. Why should an untried rookie be bid up over a million? Hard to figure a basketball player being worth more than $105,000 a year when ticket prices are pushed out of sight and huge arenas play to thousands of empty seats. What the NBA says publicly doesn't always jibe with their private communiques. It says here that a merger is in the works and even money to be effected by the summer of 77. IN HOCKEY, Boston's reacquisi-tion of star goalie Jerry Cheevers, plus the expected return of Bobby Orr for the stretch drive, puts the Bruins in a powerful position for the Stanley Cup playoffs.

As things now stand, you can put a blanket over the top three teams: defending Philadelphia, although they havent been right since that emotional victory over the Soviets high-flying Montreal, and the surging Boston Bruins. They're all 5-2 long-range favorites for the Stanley Cup, with Buffalo a step behind at 5-1. Looking further ahead, it's even money that the World Hockey Association becomes a six-team Canadian league next year, leaving the NHL with the only major-league hockey in the United States. If that happens, one of the NHL franchises will come into the Deep South. raceway Route Nor irth4 Lebanon NEED HELP ON TAX CASIO MINI PRINTER 8 digit capacity display square root memory floating decimal rechargeable SCOTS $70s5 LOW PRICE It!
