Sport fashions all in the game

In the summer, a young girl's, fancy turns to — sports. With today's emphasis on good health as the basis of good looks, active participation by women in such fun sports as tennis, hiking, and bicycling is on the rise. Always quick to spot a trend, fashion designers have come up with the right play gear for the sports-minded Miss, Ms. or Mrs. this spring. Biker pants are now designed for practicality as well as style, featuring long, lean trousers, tied at the ankle. Tennis buffs will find lots of inspiration for their game in the many new fashions hitting the courts. Dresses and skirts or shorts with tops will be serving the ball smartly this season. Sleeveless styles that offer lots of freedom, jumpsuit-shorts, button-front skirts, and tank tops with matching jackets, are some of the looks that will be making news on the courts, as will colorful stripings, prints and motifs amid the traditional tennis whites. Even the tennis shoe will be sporting constrasting trims this season. Zip-front jacketing and T-shirts complete the tennis fashion picture. Backpackers will find pants galore to choose from this season, from safari shorts to clamdiggers. And golfers will be swinging away in beautifully shaped culottes with classic tops, as well as newer shirtings. Ponchos and hooded jackets will be going to sea or lake this summer, as will colorfully striped T-shirts and cotton canvas pants. Joggers will get fresh impetus from the new suede and nylon footwear looks for spring, in jazzy colors with stripes and emblems. Whether she's hitting the trail or hitting a backhand, one thing is sure: the active woman will be right in style this Summer.

Set for tennis? Learn language

If you're not already a tennis enthusiast but would like to take up the sport in your leisure time or understand those televised matches a little better, here's a primer of tennis terms to bone up on: • The service — this is the stroke that starts off the game. Since a good serve can win points outright, it is an important, offensive stroke. • The lob — a defensive stroke that is often used to force one's opponent back from the net. It is characterized by a short backswing and upward follow-through of a racket. • The volley — an offensive stroke, played fairly close to the net, with the ball struck before land. • Sets — tennis matches are played in units, with no fewer than six games in a set. The player who first wins six games wins the set, unless his opponent ties the score with five games each, in which case two successive games must be won in order to win the set. • Love set — a set in which one's opponent fails to win a game. Scoring can be confusing for the unversed in tennis. The first successful serve, not returned by the opponent, gives the player a score of 15; the second, a score. of 30; the third, 40; the fourth won point wins the game, unless the player's opponent has also made 40, in which case the score is deuce, and two successive points must be won in order to win the match.
