Females Also Excel, Coach Says
By MICHELE MITTELMAN
Kansas Sports Writer
After spending a few minutes with Marlin Washington, it's conceivable that just about everyone would come away believing they were going to try to their hand at some sport, any sport.
Washington, a graduate of Westchester State College, Westchester, Pa., and a graduate student working on her masters degree in health and physical education at the University of Kansas, is the women's basketball and track and field coach
Her qualifications for both positions are well founded.
In 1969, Washington made the women's national basketball team while an untroubled leader.
The coach felt that I was a fine potential

player, "Washington said, and he asked me
to take me to New Milwaukee. After
graduating, I made the move."
"From 1969 to 1972 I represented the United States in three straight world tournaments and toured South America," said Washington. "The most memorable part of it for me anyway, was to make All-America and represent my country."
The women's All-America basketball team is selected by a special committee at UCLA.
"Teams from all over the country compete in the national championship at the end of the season. The top eight teams are selected by the All-American team," said Washington.
invited to a Summer Olympic camp where the national team is picked to compete in the world championship. There has never been any women's competition in the Olympic games, but in 1976 they will have it for the first time."
"The women from the top eight teams are
"He worked with me and trained me," said Washington. "I'm still working on some of the fine points and, hopefully, some day I'll go all the way to the Olympics."
WASHINGTON HAS TWICE made the finals at the Olympic trials in the discus event. She said that her success in track and field was due to former KU coach, Bill Easton.
Easton also helped Washington develop her new experimental weight lifting and exercise conditioning class. Washington said that it was important for athletes to develop total fitness. Her class has the same basic structure as the program set up by
Eston, although it has been modified for the women.
"I intend to compare two groups of women. One group will work out with weights, and the other group will work out by exercises or conditioning. Before the class started, I measured each individual's fitness and determined their body fat, so after the program, they could see the difference in the percentage of fat," she said.

Gibson Says Jaynes Best
MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP)—KU'S Dave Jaynes is "the best quarterback we've played against since I've been at Kansas State," Coach Vince Gibson, now in his seventh year with the Wildcats, said Tuesday.
The Wildcats are KU's homecoming fees this Saturday and have been conducting closed practices this week in preparation for their archival.
Gibson noted the Jayhawk defense has forced opponents to commit many turnovers this year and said. "We'll have to execute and not make any mistakes."
Gibson cut 15 minutes off K-State's practice Wednesday.
"I have never been more fit in my life, and I'm still getting better," said Washington. "Something of the most beautiful muscles with weight training programs."
"We had a real good workout," he said, but we need to make sure we have our legs unstrained. "We are going to work."
Home Runs Give A's, Reds Playoff Victories
Extra-inning home runs provided the winning margin for the Oakland A's and Cincinnati Reds in yesterday's major league playoff games.
Pete Rese ripped a 12th-inning home run yesterday, lifting Cincinnati to a vital 2-victory over the New York Mets in the second game, forcing the series into a fifth game today.
By the Associated Press
The triumph eveled the best-of-5 series at two games apiece.
Rose, bosed throughout the game as the villain in the wild brawl that marred the third game of the series Monday, drilled a 24-0 victory over Harry Parker over the right field wall.
Hose had bowled over Mets' shortstop Bud Harradell in a fifth-inning collision Monday and afterwards was pelted with a sprained right knee. But in the game of the game, when the Mets won 9-2.
Every time he stepped on the field yesterday, the fans booed. There were many banners around capacity-filled Shea Stadium to sequee the Reds' left fielder.
But in the end, it was Rose who drew the upper hand in this tense duel on a gloomy,
The game started as a matchup of left-
inders with George Stone for the Mets and
Josh Beckett for the Giants.
New York struck first, scratching out a run off Norman in the third inning.
Don Hahn opened with a walk and moved to second on Harrellson's infield out. After Stone walked, Wayne Garrett flied out and Hahn took third.
Then Felix Millan delivered the first hit of the gam "a sharp single to left that sent the Mets to victory."
Stone, who retired the first nine Reds in order, protected the slim lead until the seventh inning. Then, with one out, Tony Perez, who had been hitless in his first 14 playoff at-bats, walloped a long home run into the Red's bullying, tueing the score.
In the American League game, Bert Campanari lined a leadoff home run over the left field fence, barely the glove of Baltimore's leaping Don Baylor, powering the Oakland A's to an 11-inning 2-1 victory over the Orioles yesterday.
Campaneris hit an 0-1 pitch from Baltimore left-hander Mike Cullear, who had allowed only three previous hits in a win against the Oakland southpaw Kole Holtzman.
The win gives the A's a 2-1 lead in their best-of-5 American League playoffs.
Baylor raced to the fence, about 25 feet in the left field foul pole, and vaulted as

A home run by Earl Williams with one out in the second inning gave Baltimore a 1-0 lead. He was then put up eight, when Oakland's Joe Rudi singled home, pinch-running. Lewis from home struck the Wild Knot.
The Orioles got a runner to third base in the top of the top, but Holtman pitched over the fence.
The winning hurler struck out seven Baltimore batters and walked only one. Cuellar, feeling the A's power hitterches, struck out 11 and issued three walks.
Campaneris' homer was his second of the playoffs and Oakland's fifth.
Washington is coaching the women's basketball team for the first time this year. She said that coaching was a natural step for her to take because the life of an active basketball player was relatively short and she wanted to remain a part of the sport.
Washington said she thought that women were capable of performing at high levels but were held back by the lack of coaching encouragement.
THE OPPORTUNITY FOR me to coach just came up, and I get the chills thinking about it. I'm so excited," exclaimed Washington. "The reason I get so high on coaching is because the women are so determined and coachable. They are really good at teaching. A dominant coach, but I have no fears that students won't give me what I want.
"As long as we have the Olympics, women's skills have to be recognized. They need to be encouraged too. It's a shame when people in my field fail to recognize women's abilities. In the United States, we are far behind the other countries," he said.
AS LONG AS THE Olympics allow women to compete and as long as there is an interest in women's sports, then it will be appropriate to engage athletic programs. Washington said.
"I didn't get to see the team play last year but there's a lot to look forward to. There are several returning varsity players, besides a lot of new talent."
"Athletics used to be considered unfeminine except for sports like dance. Running track was unheard of. Now, the blessed thing about sports is that men appreciate women for their abilities. Men' attitudes have changed and that helps a lot.
Washington said that the most important ability, however, was for the players to
"I feel that everyone was put on the earth to develop their talents to the fullest and if women's abilities in sports were overlooked, 'it'd be a crime."
