McEnroe fined again by tennis officials By GEOFFREY MILLER AP Sports Writer WIMBLEDON, England John McEnroe was fined $5OO yesterday for “audible obscenity” and had one more week to make his peace with tennis officials and regain the Wimbledon title. The incident came at the end of a men’s doubles match Saturday night. McEnroe and his partner Peter Fleming, trying to win the doubles title for the third time in five years, had just beaten Bud Cox and Jakob Hlasek. During the match McEnroe suc ceeded in getting the net judge changed following disputed calls. As the players left the court, he said something to the crowd. The fine, announced yesterday by Wimbledon officials, raised McEnroe’s total to $6,250 in the last year. If he goes above $7,500 he is automatically suspended, subject to appeal. McEnroe had a stormy first week at Wimbledon, but this was the first time he had been fined. The tournament referee, Alan Mills, twice went onto the court during McEnroe's second-round match against Florin Segarceanu Dolphins' Gordon dies LAVEEN. Ariz. (AP) Miami Dolphins linebacker Larry Gordon died of a congenital heart disease while jogging in the desert near this Phoenix suburb, authorities said yesterday. Gordon, 29, suffered from ideo pathic cardial myopathy, accord ing to Maricopa County Medical Examiner Heinz Karnitschnig’s autopsy report on the NFL player. County morgue attendant Bob Edwards said the disease is among the most common causes and I just wanted to blow them all away.” Davis said he was looking forward to facing John Parker, the defending champion in the 200, but knew when he didn’t show up that Stanley Bla lock of Georgia would be his top competition. “Blalock was in the lane beside me and when he moved up on me on the curve I knew I had to work,” Davis said. “Then I got my knees up high and when I got near the finish I threw up my arms because I knew I had won." Davis said he was happy with both races. “It feels great to break the record, but I was also pleased with my performance in the although I finished second because I gave Rolle a good race,” Davis said.

The tempestuous New Yorker was given a warning for bashing the grass with his racket. He was handed a penalty point for slamming a ball into the net between points. Bill Scanlon, seeded No. 14, is McEnroe’s fourth-round opponent today. Top-seeded Martina Navratilo va, strong favorite for the wom en’s title, is paired against Claudia Kohde of West Germany.

The 18-year-old’s first jump of 16.24 meters would have been enough to win the competition, but his next jump of 16.30 broke the meet record of 16.26: And the new record fell again with his- final jump of 16.42. He said he never expected to do that well. “It’s a shock to break the record,” Williams said. “I didn’t feel com fortable at all and wasn’t on in my warm-ups. I felt sluggish and didn’t even feel that I could place in the top two. “ I guess my opening up so well put a sting on the rest of the competition. This is definitely my best meet by far.” Williams said the record will force him to re-evaluate his goals. “I came into this season expecting a 51-5,” Williams said, “but now that I’ve gotten a 53-10>/ 2 , I’m going to have to shoot for a 54-10 or 55 feet. And now that I’ve qualified for the Photo by Thomas Swarr Olympics, I’m really, looking for ward to them next year.” The men’s and women’s records for the high jump were also affected over the \yeekend. James Lott of Refugio, Texas and Clemson’s Shel don Boyer both tied the meet record of 7-3. Boyer won because he had fewer misses. On Saturday, Lisa Bernhagen of Hailey, Idaho broke the meet record and tied the junior national record with a jump of 6-2'/4. She said she felt sluggish and was surprised with both her win and her record. “I know Mary Moore and Camille Harding (second and third place finishers),” Bernhagen said; “be cause they’re from the next state and I was intimidated. I know they’ve jumped a lot higher and a lot more consistently then I have. “I didn’t feel that I was capable of jumping 6-2'/4. I can't explain my improvement, but to do it gives me hope to jump that high again.” Actually, Bernhagen easily cleared the bar at 6-2'/4 and just missed a shot at a record 6-3 . 'lf ■' . “I know when I jump whether I will make it and I thought I had made the last jump but I hit the bar with my calf,” Bernhagen said. In the decathlon, Kevin McGorty of Westfield High School in New Jersey, took first place with a track record 7,133 points and broke the meet record in the decathlon high jump of 6-9'/4 with a 6-9‘/2. , Camille Harding of the Olympic Flames Track Club in Washington won the heptathlon with 5,346 points, placing her second on the all-time junior national list. She said this was her first heptath lon of the year and that she expects to do a lot better at the international meet in Connecticut next month against Italy and Canada. State College’s Lynne Strauss made the national junior team with, a second-place finish of 9:33.85 in the 3,000-meter run. She said she felt sluggish and dizzy during the race. “For a college runner it’s been,a long season,” Strauss said. “I’m pleased to come in second because my last two races haven't been good. It is hotter here than at the senior nationals and although it wasn’t unbearable, I still felt the heat.” Strauss said that although front runner and eventual winner Cory Schubert ran a fast pace, she couldn’t afford to fall behind. t “ -'fi-isi* 1 “The pace was a little fast for me," Strauss said, “but I couldn’t let Colleen Rosensteel of Greensburg, Pa. uncorks a discus throw yesterday *, at TAC's Junior National Track and Fipld Championships at the Nittany > Lion Track.

Colleen Rosensteel of Greensburg, Pa placed second in the women’s discus with a throw of 47.15 meters, Connie Sweet of Sayre, Pa threw the shot 13.42 meters for a third place finish and the Pittsburgh New Image Track Club’s 400-meter relay team of Tonja Stevens, Connie Bur nett, Verna Harris, and Robin Ben jamin took first with a-new track record of 46.22 seconds. Women’s Track Coach Gary The Daily Collegian Monday, June 27, 1983 ■ s*'. * Schwartz said he thought the meet went very well. ' “I had an enjoyable.- time,” Schwartz said. “I think when you get as great weather and great officiat ing as we had and then throw in the kind of talent that came here, you can’t lose. “I’m really surprised that not as many, people turned out as we had hoped, because the talent here is as good as the talent you would see anywhere else.” Don Steffens, a spokesman for The Athletics Congress, said the group was happy with Penn State. “The track facility here is pretty outstanding,” Steffens said. “I thought things went off smoothly and that Gary Schwartz did a good job. I think it would be fine for us to have a meet here again.” Stars roll 'By PHYLLIS MENSING Associated Press Writer PHILADELPHIA Allen Harvin ran for two.touchdowns and passed to r set up another as the league-leading (Philadelphia Stars built a 24-0 cush ion and hung on to defeat the Bir | mingham Stallions 31-10 in United | States Football League action last i night. !
