Back to the real world
for former track star

LONDON, Ont. (CP) —

Patty Loverock has traded In ;

her track shoes for a
typewriter.

The veteran Olympic
Games sprinter, elght years
with Canada's national track
team, has enrolled in the
University of Western On-
tario’s Masters program in

m,

At 26, the Vancouver
athlete feels she's reached
her peak inrunning, It's time
for a new challenge,

“I was a very well-
disciplined athlete,” she
Bays. “I didn't miss one
practice before the Olympic
Games. I’m convinced I had
reached my maximum
potential — maybe that's
why I left."

Loverock holds the
Canadian women’s records
for both the 100 and 200

metres. She set her 29,03
seconds for the 200 metres at’
the 1976 Olympics in Mon-
treal, and ran the 100 In 11,94
at Taat summer’s| Com-
monwealth Games trials.

She retired after the Olym-
pies, then missed the
challenge and returoéd six
months later, But alter the
Commonwealth Games, she
left competitive track and
field for good.

“IT was pretty tired of it
when I left. Iwas tlred of the
singlemindedness , ... and
the sheltered lifestyle.

“You don't make any real
decisions.”

Loverock began running in
1861 when she entered the
Royal Canadian Legion's
Junior Olympic Training
Program and went to the
provincial finals.

“From that program

emerged most af the core of
Canada’s team — Diane
Jones-Konihowski (Canada’s
star pentathlete} and Debble
Brill (high jumper). Hf it
had't been for that, 1 might:
never have started,

She's concerned about the
future of Canada’s athletes
because of a recent an-
rouncement by the newly-

elected Progressive Con-’

servative government to cut
back on “elitist” individual
sporta in favor of group-par- .
Hcipation events,

"What they don't realize ja
that if you don’t have one,
you don’t have the other, ”
she says, and points to the
surge of intereat in figure
skating that followed Karen
Magnusson’s gold medal at
the 1975 world cham-
pionships,

Persimmon or laminated

woods? That’s a dilemma
many golfers face when se-
lecting new clubs.

Persimmon Is a close:
grained hardwood tree. Most
touring professionals play
with  peraimmon woods,
Maybe that’s one reason per-
simmon is considered the
Rolls-Royce of golf wooda.
The wood for a persimmon,
clubhead costs the manufac-
turer three to five times -as
much as the wood for a
laminated clubhead.

Cross-grained peralmmon,
taken from the heart of the
tree, is hard and durable. It’s
both kiln-dried. and dried by
the modem radio frequency
method te remove ail mois
ture. And then it’s oil-
hardened,

On the other hand, it’s dif-
ficult for most golfers to tell
the difference between per-
simmon and high-quality lam-
inated wood if the clubhead
is finished in black,

TOLEDO, Chio (AP) —
Five players took widely
divergent routes to scores of
79, one under par and good
enough to share the first
round lead Thursday in the
United States Open golf
but the
shortcut Lon Hinkle took
won't be available again.

Some obviously  em-
barassed officiala of the
sponsoring U.S.
Association decreed that a
tree be planted overnight to
the left of the elghth tee. A
23-foot spruce was stuck in
the gro ground to block Hinkle's.
