s .._ ,, urs civ- JuivZV- IV 16 -- P-age Twelve IflutauuytJuly L3r 1 7rv ..: -'... More U.S. boxers advance By The Associated Press MONTREA--Big John Tate rallied in the third round with a big right-hand attack yester- day to score a narrow decision over West German Peter Hus- sing and set up a semifinal showdown with defending Olyn- pic heavyweight boxing cham- pion Teofilo Stevenson. The match between the 21- year-old Tate, a truck driver from Knoxville, Tenn., and the awesome Cuban, the glamor boy of international boxing, is set for this afternoon. Stevenson reached the semi- fintI by knocking out Pekka Riokola of Finland in the first round. OF BOUNDS by Rich Lerner The Montreal scene ... a little of everything MONTREAL "ISSA HUSSA, HA SA SA. Nu ska Canada. Ha da da." Learned that from a Dane at the Denmark-Canada seven- man handball match. Figuratively, it translates as "hip hip hoo- ray. You're gonna get it Canada. Na, na na na na." Montreal during the Olmpics is Louisville during Derby Week, Mardi Gras, the Michigan-Ohio State game, an Arab market, and the United Nations all rolled into one. Everybody is trying to sell something. An official Olym- pic frisbee goes for $2.25. Outside the Forum, one enter- prising literati hawks his wares-Olympic poetry. "How much is it?" I asked "Two dollars." After taking two steps from the corner the price was down to $1.50 and before I could laugh the price had been cut to $1. One can't take more than 5 steps in the Olympic park without someone stopping you to sell either a flower, tickets to some of the events, Jesus or a button signifying your national loyalty. A hamburger with greasy french fries sells for close to $2 in an old Montreal dive. Because of the hordes of cus' tomers now, the establishment has no time to cook the burger, barely getting it thawed before tossing it onto a plate. The best buv in town is tickets. Handball ducats were avail- able for $2 at the door. Sixteen-dollar tickets to the USA-Canada semi-final basketball game could be purchased for $5 from scalp- ers at tinoff time. Come nightfall a party atmosphere prevails. I'he night life centers around two areas, Crescent St. in downtown and Place de Jacques Cartier in old Montreal. Wilt Chamberlain celebrated the U.S. basketball win over Canada on Crescent St., prchasing a case of champagne and distributing free bottles to lucky passers-by. In old Montreal, an international . snake dance weaves down the steet to steains of "Alouette" and "When the Saints Go Marchin" In" noved by a band of street musicians. At the other end of the hicek, i clster of drunken Yankees stammers thr-n-h "ad Bless america." The latest f-s1inn ,sfor enning dress in old Montreal is a green plastic phosphourescent necklace. Every third person has one of the ridiculous incumberances snapped around their neck. Jim Lampley must have started the craze. During the day things are a bit quieter as local winos plead for spare change in six different languages. You must be careful not to be too raucous in daylight hours lest you wake the people snoozing in their cars The security is not as oporessive as advertised. A fence sur- rounds the Olympic village where the athletes are housed and only those property accredited are allowed admittance. How- ever, the athletes are free to roam where they please. Th brasseries and taverns (the only difference between the two is that women are allowed in brasseries but exclud- ed from taverns) are crowded with athletes, much to the dismay of their coaches. The real highlights are the athletic events themselves. Seeing an emotional Yugoslavian basketball team upset the favored Rus- sians was exhilaratie. Nonee of the Yugoslavian players on the bench sat down duing the entire game. They were on their feet from the opening tinoff as their teammates swept to an early 21-6 lead, Michigan has fared well in the games. Phil Hubbard won a gold medal in basketball, scoring ten points in the finals. Phil Boggs. the gold medalist in the 3-meter springboard diving, will attend the Unive-sit, Law School in Sentember. Wolverine swim- mers Gordon Downie and Alan Mctlatchey won bronze medals on Great Britain's 810-meter freestle relay. John Daly, swimming for Puerto Rico, failed to make the finals in his butterfly specialty. Pierre Leclerc, competing for Canada, placed forty-second in the all-around competition for gymnastics. By the way, did you hear the case about the gold medal win- ner who wanted to have his award preserved? He decided to have it bronzed. Tate, who has been fighting only 19 months, went into the Hussing fight with a swollen left eye-a souvenir of his suc- cessful Olympic debut Monday. The eye began to bleed in the second round and American fans sat hushed when the ref- eree stopped the bout and sig- naled a doctor to come into the ring. The doctor gave hisokay for Tate to continue and the American made the most of it. "I thought the ref was going to stop the fight," said Tate. "I had a little cut on my left eye. But I ain't going to let no little cot get me down. I gave every- thing I had in the last round, and I won it." In that final round, Tate shook Hussing a couple of times with solid right hands to the head, backed him tip once with two good rights and a left and knocked him down with a right in the stomach. It looked like the German might have had his feet tangled, but Tate said of the knockdown: I hit him a good right hand. I could feel it to my legs ." The decision was 3-2 for Tate over Hussing, the 1972 bronze medalist. The Egyp- tian and Romanian judges voted for Hussing while the Indonesian and Venezuelan judges gave it to Tate. The Japanese judge saw it 59-59 but gave the fight to Tate for being more aggressive. Stevenson didn't even break a sweat in knocking out Roukola. He knocked down the Finn with the first right hand he threw, hurt him with the second right and knocked him down again with tle third. Ruokola got up after the second knockdown but the referee had seen enough and stopped it at 1:55 of the round. Tate was the seventh Ameri- can to gain the semifinals in 11 weight classes. He was joined in the afternoon action by mid- dleweight Mike Spinks of St. Louis, who bombarded Ryszard Pasiewicz of Poland with right hands for the most one-sided decision in the 11 days of com- petition. Spinks' older brother Leon, a Marine corporal from Camp Lejeune, N.C, powered his wcay into the semifinals of the 178-pound class last night with a one-sided decision over Otto- mar Sachse of East Germany. Spinks floored Sachse with a right to the head just 24 sec- onds into the fight and had him in trouble several times before the end. In fact, Spinks had more trou- ble with referee Addalla of Tu- nisia. Addalla penalized Spinks one point in the first round for talking to him. Then, when Sninks showed up for the deci- sion annossncement in center ring wearing a red-and-white knit cap with a red tassle, the referee yanked it off his head and threw it into a corner. The crowd booed. Spinks' v i c t o r y gave the United States seven semifinal- ists in the 11 weight classes, one less than the powerful Cu- ban team and two more than the Soviet Union. Since semifinalists are as- sured of at least a bronze medal, the United States al- ready has improved its boxing medal production over the 1972 Games in Munich when the Americans won one gold and one bronze. Other leading contenders for medals are the Cuban, Roma- nian and Soviet Union eams. The United States failed to get a semifinalist at 147 pounds when Clint Jackson of Nashville, Tenn., lost a 3-2 decision to Pedro Gamarro of Venezuela. -MAJOR LEAGUE STANDINGS - AMERICAN 'LEAGUE East W L Pet.
