The racquet is made of aluminum and has nylon strings that Carrie says "are a little thinner and more alive" than normal strings.

Gerulaitis, rallied to beat seventh-seeded Yvonne Vermaak of South Africa, 5-7, 6-4, 6-0. Neither Carrie nor Ruta is seeded.

"I started using the bigger racquet in May and I think it's improved my game," said Carrie, who meets Valerie Ziegenfuss tonight at 8 (Manuel Orantes and Jose Higueras of Spain will play Pascal Portes and Giles Moretton of France in a concluding doubles match). "One reason I went to the bigger racquet was because a fella I had been practicing with pretty even in sets went to it because of tennis elbow. He won eight straight sets against me with the new racquet and I didn't like it. It's been a reunion of former Indiana Love women players this week at the U.S. Open Clay Court tennis tournament at the Racquet Club.

Two of them Carrie Meyer of Indianapolis and Ruta Gerulaitis of Kings Point, N.Y. advanced to the third round yesterday, a day after a third former Love, Wendy Overton of Seven Lakes, N.C., lost to Chris O'Neil of Australia. 1 Miss Meyer, playing with one of the game's new oversized racquets, brought more cheers from the big stadium court crowd as she downed Nancy Omstein of Washington, 6-1, 6-1. Ruta, sister to former Love Vitas TlMEfOT! IIK isew 1UIA ui nil, nag sharpened her game, says Ruta. "I practice as hard as he does at our home," she said.

Padgett, who was tied for 10th spot and four strokes behind co-leaders Dick Bradow of Franklin By WAYNE FL'SON, Sports Editor THERE is more involved in winning the United States Clay Courts championship this week at the Racquet Club than might meet the eye.

The Clay Courts tournament is a major stop on the Colgate Grand Prix for men and the Colgate Series for women and points earned here will add up when some $2.65 million in year-end bonuses are awarded. The 78 series for women includes 28 events throughout the world, with the top 35 singles and the 20 leading doubles players dividing $675,000 in pool money when the year is done. The series for men includes 90 events worldwide and at the end of the season the top 50 singles and top 25 doubles players will divide a purse of more than $2 million. The top woman singles player can win as much as $300,000 and the top man an extra $400,000. That isn peanuts in any language.

It's much like the United States Auto Club's national championship circuit. There is a similar pot of gold put up by USAC's financial angel, the Citicorp for the overall leaders in points awarded at each race. The total prize money for the Clay Courts' is $210,000 with $26,250 of that going into the prize fund for the men's grand prix bonus, leaving $183,750 to be divided among the leaders this week. The Clay Courts men's single winner will get $24,000 and the women's winner $5,000. But the big money isn't the only draw for players like Jimmy Connors, Guillermo Vilas and Manuel Orantes.

Connors explained the other night that when youngsters first turn pro they think mostly about the money they can win. "It's so important to play here," said Connors, "because this is another major international title." It's pride then that is a dominant force for some. Once one wins a major championship, nobody can take it away. Winners of major golf tournaments like the Open, the Masters and the PGA and, of course, 500-Mile Race champions feel the same way. The money is nice, but winning a major championship is something else! Faces In The Crowd VOU can be sure that LEE CORSO's idea for a "super Saturday" playoff game to decide the national collegiate championship will fall on a lot of deaf ears.

The bowl people, especially, would be against the Indiana coach's idea, which sounds great to a lot of fans. Corso's idea was for a and Ken Szuch of Indianapolis, said it was difficult to putt because of the spike marks. His round was a 72 one over par at the Forest Hills Country Club. Bradow, the 24-ycar old to the national rootoau Leagues Super Bowl If J.O. TOBIN remains the only horse to have ever defeated 1977 Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew, and Alydar beats J.O.

Tobin by more than 20 lengths where does that leave Affirmed? "I don't know, and that's what galls me," said Alydar's trainer, JOHN VEITCH with a smile after his Triple Crown runner-up romped to a 10-length in the Whitney Stakes at Saratoga. "I don't know whether that makes Alydar a champion or just makes Affirmed look even better." TOM LASORDA says Los Angeles Dodger pitching is better now than at any time this season. How about Cincinnati's pitching? "It's coming around now," says Tommy. He also says the Giants will stay in the race all the way because they have good pitching. How about the hitters, friend? JERRY PATE seemed almost relieved he had lost the 60th PGA Championship to JOHN MAHAF-FEY.

For two years, Pate had felt responsible for Mahaffey's long dry spell on the golf circuit. It was unwarranted, of course. In the 1976 U.S. Open, Mahaffey blew a final-round lead on the last two holes of play to the then 22-year-old Pate. Mahaffey hasn't played well since.

"I kinda feel responsible for the problems he's had since," said Pate Even though he blew that big lead in the PGA, TOM WATSON can't be called a "choker." He has won two British Opens, the Masters and nine tour events, was elected the "Player of the Year" in 1977, he is a shotmaker of tremendous talent, poise and promise. He will be gathering in trophies and major championship for years to come Physical fitness buffs who work out less than three times a week are not achieving the best results, say officials of the American College of Sports Medicine. DR. MICHAEL POLLOCK of Milwaukee said this is true even among runners who did 4-4 12 miles per workout The scoreboard at Milwaukee County Stadium lights up frequently with the phrase "Brewer Fever Catch It." And it appears quite a few people in Wisconsin have caught it. Sunday's crowd of 48,444 pushed the team's attendance to 1,189,917 for the season.

That is already higher than the total attendance for all of last year of 1,114,938, with 21 more home dates left. pro at HHlview country Club, and Szuch. 24, the assistant at Meridian Hills, had 68s and were two strokes ahead of a trio that ncluded amateur Kent Frandsen of Lebanon, Jim Ferriell of Carmel and Dennis Murray of Indianapolis. Bradow birdied three of the last four holes, including a 30-foot putt on the 17th green. He said the course was the type he iked requiring some straight hitting.

If you get greedy off the tee, this course will get you," said Bradow, who used long irons like most of the players who had control.

Seattle rode solid wins in all but the women's singles set to register its fourth victory in a row and break a club record for consecutive wins. Dianne Fromholtz gave the Loves their only lead of the night in the second set when she defeated Brigitte Cuypers 6-2. But the Loves lead was quickly by Seattle's Sherwood Stewart and Betty Stove as they took the mixed dou-ble's set from Miss Fromholtz and Geoff Masters 6-1.

Cascades player-coach Tom Gorman downed John Whitlinger 6-4, and returned in men's doubles with Sherwood Stewart to blank Masters and Whitlinger 6-0.
