final seconds from Phil Ford to

tournament. It was a close call
for a team that has lost only
one game in Olympic history
and is favored to meet Russia
for the title in these Games.
The U.S. men's team got a
real scare from a hustling
Puerto Rican team that in-
cluded Butch Lee of Mar-
quette. Lee scored 35 points
and the Puerto Ricans hit 64
per cent of their field goal
attempts to 58 for the United
States.

bined to put the United States
in front at 91-90, but Neftali
Rivera's basket gave the lead
back to Puerto Rico. Adrian
Dantley scored for the United
States, and then Lee was called
for charging Scott May under
the basket. Ford's two free
throws iced it.
"I never had a doubt about
it. I was confident all the way,'
said Buckner, who hit two criti-
cal shots in the comeback. I
had the shots and I had to take
them. But he admitted that the
U.S. effort was not up to par.
"We like to think our best
games are yet to come. We
learned one thing-we can play
better defense."
The American women's bas-
ketball team kept its medal
hopes alive with a 95-79 victory
over Bulgaria. The Americana
had lost to the speedy Japanese
team in its opening game, and
the Japanese beat Canada 121-
89 with 5-foot-4 Miyako Otsuka
scoring 38 points. Russia beat
Czechoslovakia 88-75 with Io-
liyaka Semenova, the Soviets'
7-2 center, scoring 26 points.

weight from Muncie, Ind., on
the U.S. Greco-Roman wrestling
team, pulled a major surprise
when he pinned defending silver
medalist Alexandr Tomov of
Bulgaria in the opening round
of Olympic competition.
"This is the upset of the
Olympics, believe me," U.S.
coach Vaughn Hitchcock said.
