Bird named 1978 King of Sports

Indiana State basketball great, Larry Bird, has been named recipient of the 1978 "King of Sports" award by Chris Schenkel, President of the sponsoring International Palace of Sports Youth Foundation The award is given annually to the most outstanding and inspiring athlete of the year' Schenkel stated that Bird was selected because of his determination. ability and inspiring character and attitude toward the team concept of basketball. Bird is the seventh to receive the award in furtherance of the Youth Foundation's "King Os Sports" Youth Program. Past recipients of the award have been Mark Spitz. 1972; 0. J. Simpson. 1973; Hank Aaron. 1974; Archie Griffin, 1975; Bruce Jenner, 1976 and A. J. Foyt, 1977.

Wawasee High School senior, will be heading south to Salisbury, N. C. to play for the Catawba College Indians. Simpson is the recipient of a basketball scholarship to Catawba, where former Warrior, Tad Chamberlain, also resides. Simpson wins scholarship Wawasee High School senior Mark Simpson received a fouryear, full-fide basketball scholarship to Catawba College, Salisbury, N.C. Approached by ' other schools such as Valparaiso, North Dakota State and Northwest Missouri State, Simpson responded to his choice of Catawba. “Number one reason,’’ according to Simpson, “the school has a good business program." Simpson specifically plans to major in business administration. “Secondly, their basketball is superintense,’’ the Wawasee star continued.-“ North Carolina is basketball oriented. Some of the tpp teams in the country are there, Duke, N.C. State and North Carolina. Their high schools don’t have the support in basketball that we have here. The people attend the college games over the high school ones.” A third reason for Simpson’s decision is the closeness between Mike Jones, WHS basketball coach and the coaches at Catawba. Also at Catawba is former Warrior Tad Chamberlain. Catawba, a member of the Carolina conference of the NAIA, is in an interesting situation. States Simpson, “If I work hard this summer, there’s a possibility that five Indiana boys will make up the starting line-up next fall, including Chamberlain,” for head coach Sam Moir’s Catawba Indians.

The record is pending, awaiting approval from the American Water Skiing Association headquarters. On April 28, Kris skied in West Palm Beach and won girls' tricks with a run of 4,610 points. On May 12-13, she will be competing in the All-American Tournament in Cypress Gardens. Kris and her family will be returning to Milford in June.

WASHINGTON. D. C. - Lee Trevino, a Supermex who for a time traded on his Chicano image, often w ith slaps at the American establishment (which has been generous to him. by the way) has a solid point in calling for genuine roughs at the nation’s golf courses. Lee says too many U.S. courses are kept so well the rough is easily playable, that when a competitor hits an errant drive into the rough, there’s, in effect, little penalty. Often he can play the ball from the low-cut rough area about as well as from the fairway. Lee argues. He sees this as contrary to what the game is supposed to be. When a ball is hit and goes into the rough, the player should pay

the price. Accurate, consistent players find their greater skill is discounted, as players with w ild shots manage to get to the green without difficulty, hitting out of the rough from well-kept, almost-fairway conditions. The reason for this, of course, is that local golfers are not too keen on losing balls in the rough. They find it more pleasant and less expensive to play courses on which the rough is kept down. And. being realistic about it, one can’t expect them to play all year in conditions they dislike for the sake of one pro tournament. The common-sense answer is a compromise, in which the rough at tourney courses is allowed to grow higher once a year -for the big event!
