English soccer cup final most exciting ever

LONDON (CP) — Soccer
fans and sports writers were
virtually unanimous Sunday
in calling Manchester
United's 2-1 win Saturday
over Liverpool one of the
most exciting and
memorable of English
Football Association Cup
finals.

Sunday newspaper
headlines used such words
as Magic” for Manchester,
“Tragic” for Liverpool, and
“Classic’’ for the superb

football played by both
squads on Wembley’s mani-
eured = turi.

For many fans, the real
winner of the Cup was
Manchester United
manager Tommy Dochert
who was making his eight!
try, either as a player or a
manager, to win at Wem-
bley— site of the Cup final
and the mecca of English
football. .

In last year’s Cup final at
Wembley, United was

defeated by Second Division
Southampton—a defeat that
reduced some United
players to tears.

But Saturday, Docherty’s
team.had the luck that made:
all the difference in a
thrilling second-half burst of
three goals in four minutes,

In the 50th minute,,
Sammy Mellroy hoisted a
long ball forward and
Jimmy Greenhoff nodded
the pass on to Stuart
Pearson. Pearson ran in

from the right and drove the
ball under
goalie Ray Clemence.

But Liverpool tied it
within two minutes. Jimmy
Case pivoted gracefully to
reach a Steve Heighway
pass and hooked the ball
with a powerful right-foot
shot past goalie Alex
Stepney’s left hand.

Then came the most vital
bit of luck for Manchester
United.

Racing was held at

strike of mutuel clerks.

Can racing exist without
para mutuel betting

BELMONT, N.Y. (AP) —
The next time somebody
says that horse racing could
survive without gambling,
tell them to read this:

David Elflein, a 61-year-
old retired carpenter, at-
tended opening day at
Belmont Park -on Monday
even though the betting
windows were closed be-
cause of a strike by mutuel
clerks. He wasn't alone, but
it was close,

Last year, 19,499 race fans
paid either $2 to get into the
grandstand or $3.50 to get
into the clubhouse on
opening day, when the
betting windows were open.
Monday, 3,379 fans turned
out even though admission
and parking were free.

Bill Johnson, the track's
radio and __ television
director; sald it was “like
going to look at a silent
movie by yourself in a
theatre of 5,000 seats."

“Most people are in-
terested in the gambling
aspect of horse racing. We
are in the gambling
business, make no mistake
about it.””

Bets on the card were
taken at Off-Track Betting

wie parlors across the city.

Herb Poll, who works at
the admissions gate,
estimated that 90 per cent of
the people who go to the
racetrack are there to bet.

“You don't go to a
‘vestaurant to watch, you go
to eat. It’s the same thing
here," eee ee

Elflein said he understood

why others, unable to bet at bogged

the track, stayed away.

“There’s no fun being
here without betting,” he
said. “If 1go to a football or

baseball game, I’ve got to

have a bet. There’s no sense. ama

in watching without a bet,

you know what I mean? tt:

Meanwhile, contract talks
between the striking clerks
and the New York Racin
Association were report
down, The strike
involves job security and
wage differences at the
track where the Belmont
Stakes will be run June 11.

Prince George horse
show this weekend

Approximately a dozen
horses from ‘the Terrace
area will be trallered to
Prince George this weekend
for a three-day, all-breeds
horse show.

Among the Terrace horses
competing will be Paddy, an
eight-year-old Arabian
gelding owned by Wayne
Webber. Paddy wan the
open combination and open
trail classes at the four-day
Oliver International Horse
Show, the first weekend in

ay.
In the same show, another

of Webber's horses,
Deodar’s Espada, trained
and ridden by Linda Timko
tied at the Oliver show for
high-point horse honors,

The horse which shared
top spot is owned by Cathy
Wedge, a member of
Canada’s olympic three-day
event team.

Terrace will hold its first

horse show of the season.

June 19. This will be a
junior show. ‘

Later, at theend of July, a
two-day open horse show
will be held.

The ball broke free of a
cluster of players in the
Liverpool penalty area
between Jimmy Greenhoff
and Emlyn Hughes, and Loy
Macariraced in. His shot hit
Greenhoff’s shoulder and
was deflected past the
stranded Clemence.

One of United’s top per-
formers on the day was de-
fender Jimmy Nicholl, a
native of Hamilton, who was
up against the talented
Heighway. | .

It was a dream come true -

for Nicholl, who made his
debut for United 18 months
ago, ‘ ;
_ He appeared set to play
in last year’s loss to
Southampton but lost his
lace at a critical time to

ottish international Alex
Forsyth.

Liverpool fought to the
final whistle Saturday, but
all their skill, accuracy,
flair and determination
were to no avail.

‘Now Liverpool manager
Bob Paisley, as was noted in
the Sunday Express,“‘has a
chilling psychological job
ahead to rally his jaded,
stricken side’? for the
European Cup final against

Borussia Munchengladbach-

of Munich in Rome on
Wednesday.
“Everybody gave their
ali, and we have nothing to
be ashamed of,’ Paisley
told reporters. If there had
been no goals, we would

have won on points.”

Docherty said: “It was a
great match. Both teams did
really well in the terrible
heat. We won, and won well.
I felt we played the way

“Winning after my eight
Wembley visits as a player
and manager is a bit of an
anti-climax. I felt I would be

things, but perhaps it will hit

Body-building steriods can
cause cancer, report says

CHICAGO (Reuter) —
Bodybuilders who take
anabolic steroids to
stimulate muscle devel-
opment may run the risk of
atleast two types of cancer,
say a report published
Monday.

Cancer of the liver has
recently been associated
with use of steroids, but the
report cited yet another
hazard—cancer of the
kidney.

A team of researchers re-
ported on a 38-year-old man
who won recognition as a
competitive body-builder in
the 1960s. The man, who was
not identified, developed
Wilms Tumor, a rapidly-
developing malignant tumor
of the kidneys that usually
affects children and only
rarely adults.

The patient died within a
few months, despite surgery
and drug treatment, says
the report in the Journal of

Growing rapidly

‘

OTTAWA (CP) — A
major symposium is being
planned for this summer to
discuss how to organize
‘women's hockey which is

‘growing rapidiy, Don John-

son, president of the
Canadian Aniateur Hockey
Association (CAHA), said

_ Monday.

One major decision for the
symposium, which is bein;
organized by the feder
government, will be
whether the women want to
create a. separate
association or be part of the
CAHA, Johnson said in an
interview.

The CAHA “would he
pleased to have as many
women members as
possible,” he said. Even if
they decided on a separate
outfit, they would be
welcome at developmental
clinics and could use
association referees.

Many provincial branches
of the CAHA have already
into
their structures. The reason
it has not become noticeable
yet is that women haven’t
been involved long enough
to rise to the top, he said.

Johnson's comments

came as the CAHA began its .

annual meeting. There
doesn’t appear to be any
major issue to resolve, he
said.

No one knows how many
women are playing hockey.
But a women's minor
hockey tournament in
Newfoundland last winter
attracted 30 teams.

Earlier Johnson defended
Alan Eagleson who has been
heavily criticized for
comments and activities
during the World Cup in
Vienna last month.

Eagleson, who is also
executive-director of the
National Hockey League
Players Association, ‘‘has
always dealt straight with
ur hockey’? and his:

bring $1.3 million into the
amateur game.

Johnson also praised
Hockey Canada chairman
Doug Fisher for his fair
treatment of . amateur
hockey. He said the CAHA
has no complaints with
either man and felt that it
was time to give Eagleson
some support.

The CAHA realizes that
“Eagleson is an important
man in this country when it
comes to hockey,” Johnson
said. ‘We have to work with
him and cooperate with him

were difficult to ascertain

that the juniors could end up
