on the mark by Mark Mattern Added Event Sparks O.C. Patrol's Victory

Addin^-a new event to the Margate ?Memorials was the best thing that could have happened to the Ocean City Beach Patrol. This year, the two-mile run was added and Ocean City . used the points from the, race to edge the home squad by a single point. Sea Isle's Tom Fitipatrick won the two-mile ^run, but Rob Guzinkowski

finished five seconds off the pace to give Ocean City the points it needed. Other O.C. top finishers included Rin Kirk and Tom Stephanik in the one-mile row and Tom Morrison in the 1000-foot singles. Doug Meyers of Avalon finished second in the halfmile swim, six seconds behind the winner. Wildwood tied for fourth

and Sea Isle and Avalon tied for the sixty spot in the competition. AVALON REBOUNDED from the poor finish at Margate to host and win the David Kerr Memorial held at the 3§th Street Beach lastAweek: Meyers Avalon teammate Doug Meckelenburg finished one-two in the three-quarter mile swim to lead the home team victory. Avalon's Mark Flory, Mike Robinson and Meyers then teamed up to win the iron man relay, adding to the 14-point victory. In the one-half mie row, Herb Treffeisen and Rick Greco from the Wildwood Patrol were the winners with a 14:46 clocking. Wildwood finished third in the competition, followed by North Wildwood in fourth. The Memorial Event was held in the memory of David Kerr, a former South Jersey rowing champion who lost a bout with cancer in September, 1961. Kenwas 28 at the time of his death. MIKE SCATHES and Linda Cassell took the top honors at the Active Outfitters Mid-Summer Beach I Run held in Ocean City recently. . Scathes covered the fivemile course in 28 minutes and 16 seconds to finish as the tope male runner.

Cassell, cross country coach at Egg Harbor, took 36 minutes and 20 seconds to finish the racfc in first. LAST WEEK I mentioned the fate of Laura Mossbrook at the North American Tennis Open. Mossbrook, a Cape May Court House resident, lost in the final qualification round but made the tournament as a "luck draw". In that competition, Mossbrook lost to secondseeded Virginia Ruzici of Romania by a score of 6-2, 6-1. Ruzici is ranked 21st in the world and proved to be too much for Mossbrook. I feel the event will J help Mossbrook. As she heads for the University of Miami this fall, the experience garnered at the Open will help against less talented players. Mossbrook finished a great high school career at Holy Spirit this past spring. REMARKS: The Summer Olympics are finally over and after all the hype before the games got started I thought I would be bored with all the televised action. Well, I was wrong. I thought ABC did an outstanding job covering the Olympics. Even Howard Cosell was better than he has been in years. Howard does know his boxing. Carl Lewis' quest for four gold medals, the men's and women's gymnastic teams and many other exciting features highlighted the two weeks.

The event I enjoyed watching the most was volleyball. I have figured out why Americans like to see world quality volleyball players in action. Frustration. We all were brought up playing volleyball in school, back yards and at picnics. When we have a chance to see how the game is really played it has to be enjoyable. The games were full of power shots, speed and tremendous athletic skills. IF YOU WERE caught up in the Olympics and forgot, they are still playing baseball. Amd some teams are playing much better than others. I'm talking about the Chicago Cubs and the rest of the National League East. Over the past few .weeks the Cute simply took control and put some breathing room between themselves and the New York Mets and Phillies. The Phils continued to be troubled by untimely hitting and poor fielding. The Mets simply fell apart against the Cubs, having to resort to beanballs. Just as the August weather goes, so go the division races. Things are heating up. The Philadelphia Eagles began the preseason with a loss to the Detroit Lions, but I thought they looked pretty good. With the-first teams in tie game, the Eagles more than handled the Lions. Maybe the Lions have better second and third squads.

' Bird Brain ' Takes / Flier at Olympics

OCEAN CITY - A local man whose alter ego is "Bird Brain," unofficial mascot of the Philadelphia Eagles football team, took his avian act to a new stage the last two weeks, the Olympics. Dean Schoenewald, 23, is the son of Lois A Schoenewald, 3704 Wesminster He has summered for many years at

Shellbay Campground, Court House. His aim in Los Angeles, with his specially created costume of red, white, and blue, was to publicicize himself as an 'American Eagle" mascott and cheer on this country's Olympians. REGARDLESS of the impression he makes in California, where the unusual is an every day phenomenon, Schoenewald plans to walk from Los Angeles to Atlantic City in January, 1985, to benefit the Special Olympics. In the fall, he will begin his sixth season as the unof ficial "Bird Brain" symbol of the Eagles. On his visit to Los Angeles, Schoenewald carried a piece of the Ocean City boardwalk with him to present to L.A. Mayor Tom Bradley Ultimately, Schoenewald hopes to take his American Eagel personna, with its six-foot, tri-colored costume, to the Soviet Union as an emissary of good will.
