McMILLAN IN LONG JUMP U.S. wins track medal By The Associated Press MONTEREAL - Bespectacled teen-ager Kathy McMillan got the United States track and field forces off to an unexpected start in the 1976 Olympics, winning the silver medal in the wom- en's long jump yesterday. The 18-year-old Raeford, N.C., resident be- came the first American woman in 20 -years to finish in the top six in the long jump, leaping 21 feet, 10 1-4 inches. It was the first time the American women had gotten a medal in that event since 1956, when Willye White also earned a silver. East Germanv's Angela Voight won the Gold medal with a jump of 22-2, but it was young Kathy whO captured the hearts and received the cheers of the huge crowd at the 70,000-seat Olympic Stadium. MEANWHILE, shotputter George Woods of Edwardsville, ill., a silver medalist at the last two Olympics, barely made it into the final. The 300-pound Woods threw only 63-3 3/4, two inches under the qualifying standard. But, as in the women's long jump, there were not enough qualifiers to make a field of 12 and Woods made it on the technicality. Afterwards, Woods was angry and upset about his performance. "I don't know what went wrong. I wasn't con- necting and I was rushing it. I was anxious to throw but I was getting off on the wrong step," he said. THE MEN'S 800 qualifiers were Rick Wohl- huter of Chicago and James Robinson of Oak- land, Calif. The big disappointment was Mark Enyeart of Vernal, Utah, who failed to qualify in the 800, clocking 1:47.96. In the women's 800, the American qualifiers were Madeline Manning Jackson of Cleveland, the 1968 Olympic champion, and Wendy Knud- son of Loveland, Colo. The men's hurdle qualifiers were Edwin Moses of Dayton, Ohio, Quentin Wheeler of San Diego, Calif., and Mike Shine of Youngsville, Pa. Pete Lee and Brad Rheingans, the last hopes for the first United States medal ever in Olym- pic Greco-Roman wrestling, were both eliminat- ed in yesterday's fourth round. IN WOMEN'S basketball, the Soviet Union clinched the gold medal last night with awesome lulivaka Semenova leading a 112-77 rout of the United States. Semenova, the Soviets' 7-foot-3 center, scored 32 points and grabbed 19 rebounds in 24 minutes of action. She connected on 16 of 19 field-goal attempts and also blocked three American shots from her station under the basket. In men's gymnastics, the big news was Niko- lai Andrianov of the Soviet Union, who won four gold medals, three of them last night. Andrian- ov took top honors on the rings, the long-horse vault and the floor exercise. He received his other gold medal Wednesday night when the Soviets took first in team competition. AND THE Soviets, already in hot water over several incidents, seem to be in more trouble. United States gymnastics officials charged Fri- day that a Russian judge and a Bulgarian coach used illegal influence to try and help their ath- letes in the men's competition. Both Wettstone and Frank Bare, the executive director of the U. S. Gymnastics Federation, charged Soviet head judge Boris Chakhlin with trying to get scores changed during the finals of the team competition Tuesday night, when the Soviet Union and Japan were fighting a neck- and-neck battle for the team championship. Ph yoto 18-year-old Kathy McMillan of Raeford, N.C., soars through the qualifying rounds of the women's long jump yesterday at the Olympics. Ms. McMillan gave the U.S. its first medal of the track and field competition, a silver. Indians scalp Tigers, 9-4 By AP and UPI CLEVELAND - Back-to-back leadoff homers by Honeybear Blanks and Rico Carty ignited a four-run third inning and Frank Duffy doubled home a pair of runs in the fifth last night to power the Cleveland Indians to a 9-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers. A pair of Tiger errors opened the door to two Cleveland runs in the first inning and Rick Manning singled home a run in the second before the Indians chased Detroit starter and loser Dave Roberts in the third. Blanks hit his fourth homer of the year and Carty blasted his 11th homer to cap the inning. The Tigers pushed across sin- gle runs in the second and fourth innings and Willie Horton smacked a two-run homer off reliever Tom Busby in the seventh. Jim Bibby, 6-2, scattered eight hits over six innings to pick up the win. Sox skunked NEW YORK - New York's Doyle Alexander flirted with a no-hitter for the second time in a month last night but was nicked for three singles in the ninth inning as the Yankees routed the Boston Red Sox 9-1. The Yankee Stadium crowd of 43,252 roared as Alexander took the mound to start the ninth but the cheers turned to groans when Rick Burleson, the No. 9 hitter in the Boston lineup, laced the first pitch of the in- ning safely to right-center. Bur- leson moved around to third on a wild pitch and a fly ball and scored on Lynn's two-out single. Carl Yastrzemski also singled before Alexander retired Bobby Darwin on a grounder to nail. down his first triumph since his debut with the Yankees on June 19 and even his New York record at 2-2. He is 5-6 overall. Expos edge MONTREAL - Del Unser's solo home run off reliever Skip Lockwood with one out in the 11th inning gave the Montreal Expos a 3-2 victory over the New York Mets last night, Unser, traded from the Mets to the Expos earlier this week, slammed a 1-1 pitch just inside the right field foul pole for his seventh homer of the season and second in as many nights as a member of the Expos. The two other Montreal runs came on homers by Barry Foote ant Larry Parrish in the fifth. Major League Standings AMIERICAN LEAGUE East w L Pet.
