International ski season opens
with Olympic champion winning

CRANSTON-
MONTANA, Switzerland
(CP-Reuter) — Olympic
champion Franz
Klammer of Austria won
the World Series downhill
race Sunday, opening
men’s event of the 1977-78
international ski season.

XKlammer was timed in
two minutes, 8.07 seconds
under less than ideal
conditions as thick mists
and falling snow ham-
pered skiers over the 2.4-
mile National course in
the Valais Alps which has
a vertical drop of 980

metres.

Norweglan Erik Haker
(2:08,22) and Austrian
Peter Winsberger
(2:08.51) were the only
other skiers posting times
under 2:09 with Ken Read
of Calgary, who had the
fastest training times
Friday, placing fourth in
2:08.19

Austria now stands 17

ints in the lead in the

orld Series events as a
result of Klammer’s
victory and Annemarie
ProellMoser's win in
Saturday’s women’
downhill. Switzerland is
second with 19 points, fol-
lowed by Norway, seven;
Canada, five, and Italy
and the United States tied
with three apiece.

Horse

trainer
sues

v

NEW YORK (AP) —
Horse trainer Jack
Morgan served the New
York Racing Association
and its acting president,
James Heffernan, with
apers Saturday, in-

orming them he was
suing the NYRA for
$125,000.

Morgan, accompanied
by his lawyers, served

e papers at Aqueduc
Race ‘track. It was the
first time he was at a
track in a month—since
he was suspended by the
NYRa& in the aftermath of
a scheme that alleged:
involved a horse switc
that resulted in a $78,000
payoff.

The suit alleges that
“the NYRA wilfully
denied Morgan access to
the stable area altho
at the time it did this he
was duly licensed” by the
New York State Racing
and Wagering Board.

Heffernan said the
papers were “‘an order to
show cause” staying
Morgan’s suspension by
the NYRA. A hearing on
the matter was scheduled
Monday.

Morgan’s suit seeks
$25,000 in compensatory
damages and $100,000
punitive damages from
the NYRA, which acted to
bar him and Dr. Mark
Gerard after the Board
temporarily lifted their
suspensions.

Gerard is accused of
switching two Uruguayan
thoroughbred s
stakes-winning Cinzano
for his look-alike, Lebon,
a lesser horse. Cinzano
was a horse imported by
Gerard. Lebon was
owned by Morgan.

When the horse listed
as Lebon—but belleved to
be Cinzano—won a race
Sept. 23 at Belmont Park,
Gerard collected his
$78,000.

Head, who scored
Canada's first ever win
on men’s World Cup
circuit two years ago, fig:
ures he may have lest a

victory here on the long,
gradual-sloping start.

“I skied the bottom
well and got the bump,
but I lost it a bit on top,”
he said. ‘It was foggy up
there by the time [ lett

and I got off the track

that had been run in by
the 10 people ahead of
me. I could feel my skis
slow down.”’

Two key members of
the team—Dave Irwin of

nursing knee injuries but
are expected to rejoin the
team within the next
month or early in the new
