By Herald News Service WILMOT, Wis. - Ah, sibling, ri- valry. There's nothing so purg, even on a race track.

"Ei- NEW YORK -- Beneath the steel ther one of us could have won. girders supporting the tennis stadi­ um, Pam Shriver stood in the damp darkness, sobbing silently into the shoulder of her coach. She held a towel to her face while U.S. Open officials held back all passersby from the newest loser and her consoled, Don Candy. Her defeat in three tie-breakers, a first for women at the U.S. Open, was five minutes over and had left the No. 4 seed emotionally smashed. A half hour later at the news con­ ference, her eyes were dry but her voice still contained a tremulous undercurrent. "I don't think I've ever put in such an effort, and lost, in my life -- that's the upsetting thing," she ex­ plained of her 6-7 (4-7), 7-6 (7-4), 7-6 (7-4) quarterfinal loss Wednesday to No. 11 Steffi Graf. "I think it was one of the most unbelievable matches that I've been a part of. My effort could not have been any more and it was just about' two points too less." Her 16-year-old opponent would bend but never break, even when trailing 4-1 in the final set. "She's got a great attitude out on the court," Shriver said. "I don't know whether she's well-coached or whether she just has very good in­ stincts, but she plays the points pret­ ty well." "It was the same kind of deal (as Wimbledon)," Shriver said. "She's going to try to hit the passing shots and I'm going to try serve well and hit good, sound volleys." Graf said she told herself to hang tough. "She did make some errors she normally does not make, but she did not have too many nerves today." But it did, Hat moments, appear that Graf was the calmer of the two. "I honestly didn't get that nei vous," Shriver said. "I know it sounds silly but the match was such an unbelievable struggle that there honestly wasn't much time to get nervous. "You know, I've fallen shprt in a lot of quarterfinals. At least this is one time when I know I didn't fall short because i did something wrong. The other person just played that little bit better. I'll be happy if I can try that hard IK every match until I retire." But this time? - Pam Shriver looked up and an­ swered: "Shriver did her best." Larry Cash of Waukegan took the lead at the drop of the green in the feature, holding top spot through two cautioh periods on lap six which eliminated the cars of three racers, including McHenry's Skip Martin. On lap nine, Cash had the engine expire on his Firebird, sending clouds of smoke and steam into the air along the front straightaway and retiring Cash to the pits where a brief engine fire was quickly extinguished. Sid Norton then took over the lead, battling his younger brother wheel to wheel. George Dukas of Zion and pointleader A1 Atkinson of Pleasant Prairie, Wis., were also in the hunt, the four dueling it out for the final 10 laps. Duke Norton took over the lead from his brother with five laps re­ maining, and held off the elder Nor­ ton, Duke scoring his second feature win of the season, with his brother Sid right behind in second place. Atkinson, Dukas and Wayne Dukas, also of Zion, completed the top five. Duke Norton also set a new track record in the third eight-lap heat, getting the checkered flag in 2:30.43, bettering the 10-year-old previous mark by almost 16 full seconds. Ed Ozog of McHenry was second in that third heat. Martin was third, while fellow McHenryite Jay Maywald took second, in four. McHenry's Dennis Carlton was the fastest qualifier in : 18.92.

FTC Report Feb'85 McHENRY PLAINDEALER Section A Thursday, September S, IW Pagt 7 Sports •Sport Shorts Canoe Race Rick Bell Thoughts to end the season r > v ' . Even though there are at least two more months left toclay golf, there are some end-of-the-season reminders taht I might make, this being the last in this year's series of columns. If you had set a goal at the beginning of the year, consider whether or not you have attained it by now. If not, why not? Poor goal setting? Lack of practice? Lack of time to practice? If you are going to set a goal for next year, keep some of these possible problems in mind. If your woods need refinishing, winter is the time to have them done. Regripping your clubs is not as critical, as this can be taken care of in a day or two under most circumstances, but it also is something to consider. Take advantage of the sales that most pro shops will be starting shortly. Discounts amounting to a substantial saving seem to be almost anywhere you look. Play a new course in October. It is one of the prettiest times of the year and the play is usually thinning out. Late fall is the perfect time for a putting lesson as, the whole winter is available for indoor practice. And last, buy a tennis ball and spend some time each day, until next spring, squeezing it. Your forearms will become stronger and you will surely notice the difference as you start the next season.
