Indiana Quad
lures linksmen
Penn State has won the Indiana Quadrangular golf match 12
times in its 14 year history, but the Lions play there today not
as defending champions, but as defending runners-up.
The linksmen finished a distant second to host Indiana last
year, 509-536. The scores of all seven golfers for each team are
used in determining the team champion in the 18-hold event.
The Lions hopes for an individual champion could rest with
the hot Tom Amendola, last weekend’s Nittany Lion
Invitational winner. Amendola finished seventh at Indiana
last year, carding a two-over 73 at the Indiana Country Club.
The remaining six Lions will include Bob Dine and Gary
Durbin, both high finishers last weekend.

The Penn State gals walked
away with the title last year

matched by this season’s
squad. Coach Pat McTarsney
hopes that her star hurler,

opposition in reach until the

Bosox suffer through 'streak'
BOSTON (AP) The defending American League
champion Boston Red Sox are stuck in their longest losing
streak in two seasons, and captain Carl Yastrzemski wonders
when it will end.
“The game ... has breaks whether you win or lose,” Yastr
zemski said Wednesday night after Boston was downed by
Kansas City 8-4. That victory gave the Royals a sweep of the
two-game series and pushed Boston’s consecutive defeats to
six.
“When they hit balls, they go to either side of our guys,”
Yastrzemski continued. “When we hit balls, they go right at
them.”

Yaz was speaking from very recent experience. With the
bases loaded in the bottom of the eighth Wednesday, he lined
to first baseman John Mayberry who caught the ball and
stepped on first, doubling up Carlton Fisk. It was quickly two
out with no runs across.
“Be patient, be kind,” Red Sox relief pitcher Tom House
said. “It’s going to.take a super effort by someone to get us
going a grand slam or a relief pitcher punching out the
side.”
The current string of setbacks for the Red Sox began during
a dismal road trip in which the club got only one victory in five
games and fretted through four rainouts.
Last season, Boston lost five straight—between May 12 and
May 17 but managed to pull out of it and eventually wind up
in the World Series.

Manager Darrell Johnson doesn’t pinpoint the blame for the
fact that his team is mired in last place in the AL East.
“If it were just one thing,” Johnson said. “But it’s

“I have no idea how to shake the club out of it,” Johnson
said. “I guess I’m just going to have to let it run its course. We

Fred Lynn, most valuable player last year, is leading the
league in batting and has extended a personal hitting streak to
14 games. The defense has been good, and veteran pitcher
Luis Tiant has a 3-1 record.

Former Ramsay assistant
Locke gets Braves
BUFFALO (AP) Tates Locke, a
former college coach who joined the pro
ranks just last year, was named head
coach of the Buffalo Braves of the
National Basketball Association
yesterday.
Locke, 39, succeeds Jack Ramsay,
who Braves owner Paul Snyder
dismissed as coach last Monday, one day.
after the Boston Celtics eliminated
Buffalo from the playoffs.
Snyder said Locke signed a two-year
contract, but details were not revealed.
Locke, a Braves assistant last season,
told a news conference that he had not
asked for the head coaching job and was
Young claims foul in A/i
NEW YORK (AP) Jimmy Young charged yesterday he
didn’t get a fair deal from officials in his title bid against
heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali and that he definitely
deserves a rematch.
“I really think there was some side talk somewhere,”
Young said by telephone from Philadelphia when asked if he
thought the officials had been unduly influenced.
It was the second time in the week following Ali’s con
troversial but unanimous 15-round decision that Young
blasted the officials.
Earlier, he said in a copyrighted interview with the
Mississippi Sun of Biloxi-Gulfport, Miss.:
‘‘ln my honest opinion I think the officials were tampered
with, in one way or another. Yes I really feel they were
tampered with. I think they were talked with before or even
during the fight. I think the decision may have been a little
political. You know, there was a lot of money involved in the
fight for Ali purses for future defenses.”
Referee Tom Kelly scored the fight 72-65, judge Terry
Moore 61-64 and Larry Barrett 70-68, all for Ali. A strong
majority of writers covering the fight scored it for the
champion ( but many disputed the wide margins Kelly and
Moore gave Ali.
“The only thing I think will clear things up is a rematch,”
Young said yesterday.
Chester O’Sullivan, chairman of the Maryland State
Athletic Commission, scoffed at Young’s charges and said he
obviously was looking for a rematch.
“I’m a pretty decent guy and I’m not making statements
like he does,” said O’Sullivan by phone from his office.
The three fight officials could not be contacted and
O’Sullivan declined to make them available, saying he did not
want them harassed.

flattered that it was offered to him. He
also spoke of his admiration for Ram

"Jack’s and my relationship grew
deeper than anyone I have known in
recent years,” Locke said.
Locke had 11 years experience as a
college coach before joining the Braves
at the start of this past season. -

“These judges are as qualified as any judges in the coun
try,” O’Sullivan said. “They’re honest, sincere and dedicated
people. They’ve been with the commission quite awhile and
they gave a very honest decision on the fight and I see no
reason they’ve been harassed the way they have been.
• Newspapers and ABC, which televised the fight, got
numerous calls complaining of the decision. O’Sullivan said
the commission has received letters but they all started the
same way and were mostly from “Ali haters.”
“If I were to do it again I would use the same three people,”
O’Sullivan said.
“Look that fellow has gotten a fair deal here,” O’Sullivan
added. /
Young fought once before at the Capital Centre, in Landover
Md., site of the Ali fight. In 1974 he fought a 10-round draw with
Earnie Shavers after being knocked down in the third round.
Young also complained that without warning, referee Kelly
once started counting when Young leaned through the ropes
and that Kelly never said anything to Ali for roughing.
“It’s not so much that I want a rematch,” Young said of his
complaints, “I just want a fair deal. The only thing I got out of
it was a payday.”
Prelims underway
for Indy 500 cars
INDIANAPOLIS (AP)
Although formal opening of
the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway is not until
tomorrow, preliminary work
began yesterday on some of
the cars that will seek a
starting spot in the May 30

automobile race.
Twenty-two of the 71 entries
were wheeled into the
Speedway’s garage area
yesterday and eight un

Another dozen or so cars

Snyder talked briefly about his

“I consider Jack Ramsay a good
