The Michigan Daily-Thursday, February 21, 1980-Page 9: SOVIETS NEX T IN MEDALS PLAYOFF U.S. icers zip past Germans, 4-2= By The Associated Press LAKE PLACID, N.Y. - The United States hockey teanji, which made the Olympic medals playoff even before it took the ice last night, got two goals from Rob McClanahan to beat West Germany 4-2 and advanced to a mat- chup with the Soviet Union. Sweden will play Finland in the other game when the medals round begins Friday. Sweden, which beat Czechoslovakia 4-2 earlier Wednesday and clinched a playoff spot for the Americans, finished first in the Blue Division with the Americans second. The Soviets beat Canada 6-4 to take first place in the Red Division ahead of Finland, which routed the Netherlands 10-3. FINLAND WILL play the United States in the secon medals round game Sunday and the Soviets continue their quest for a fifth consecutive gold with a Sunday game against Sweden. The Americans fell behind 2-0 in the first period as goalie Jim Craig wat- ched a 70-foot shot by defenseman Hor- st-Peter Kretschmer glance off his left leg and into the net at 1:50. Craig, who was injured when struck in the throat by a shot during the pre-game warmup, also missed .a 58-foot shot by defen- Olympic Hockey Standings seman Udo Kiessling four seconds into a West Germany power play at 19:45 of the session. But the Americans, who have played their best hockey in the second and third periods of every Olympic game, rallied in the second period on goals by McClanahan and Neal Broten. THEY PULLED within one on Mc- Clanahan's goal at 7:40 of the session, when he and Dave Christian, who had three assists in the game, executed a perfect 2-on-i. Broten tied it with 1:29 left in the session. That was the 15th of the 22 American goals to be scored in the first or last five minutes of a session, and McClanahan made it 16 of 23 at 1:17 of the third period. Phil Verchota kept the pattern going by tipping in Christians' shot at 4:17 of the third period, and the Americans - seeded seventh of the 12 teams when the Games began - had all the offense they needed to hand WestGermany its four- th loss in the five games. Beth bags bronze Beth Heiden ended a week of frustration and a season of overly high expectations yesterday, finally winning a medal in the XIII Winter Olympics, a bronze in the 3,000-meter speek s ating contest. Hours later, she began to cry and rushed away from reporters after being asked about the pressure that has come with the wide acclaim she and her brother, Eric, have received. NORWAY'S BJOERG Eva Jensen won the gold medal in Olympic record XIII OLYMPIC (~CG~ INT ER GAMES .PLACID .1980 Germany's Sabine Becker took the silver with 4:32.79. Heiden finished in 4:33.77. In three previous races here, the 20- year-old Heiden had been kept out of ,500 eters, sesnth in the and fith in the 1,000. Many had expected her to. win most of the women's medals here, just as they have expected a medals sweep from Eric, who has won three golds already. ' Jensen observed after yesterday's race that Beth did not seem to compete with the same fervor that brought he, the world championship last year. "I WOULD agree with her that I don't have the same fighting spirit," Heiden said. "I like to skate for myself. This year, I sort of had the feeling I had to skate for the press, you know. To hell ": with you guys!" She laughed, but her eyes glistened.

" . ,to C'anham's cash Ramblings from the sports world: "Okay, Professor Canham, what is the subject for today?" "Money -the basic principles." "But we've done that for the last nine weeks." "Well, class, if you know about money, you'll understand life." Tell that to Linda Fratianne, America's glamorous figure skater who ,had been eoflceded' the gold medal before the competition even started. Jifortunately ror Fratianne, she is going to lose money at these Olympics, .because she had to skate. She had a face restructuring for umpteen dollars. Then, she purchased a skating dress for several thousand dollars. Finally, she had to skate - and is losing badly. Think of all the thousands of dollars in endorsements she is dosing, and now she may not be able'to sign a lucrative contract with the Ice Capades. Explain the meaning of money to Detroit Tigers tight-wad general manager Jim Campbell, who wouldn't come up with an extra $20,000 to pay his two young stars, Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker. It's wonderful that all his players are going to arbitration. That way, when the season comes, none of them will be looking forward -to playing. It's great to have disgruntled players. You're certain to have an 83-79 season for decades. Speaking of money, if ABC is paying Dick Button, they should take his 'contract away. If he mentions Tai and Randy once more, I'm going to watch the Detroit Red Wings. SButton it, Dick Can you believe Button had the gall to persistently announce during the Russian anthem for the gold medalist ice dancers, 'It's too bad Tai and Randy aren't here.' It's too bad you are there, Dick. For that matter, it's a shame ABC is there. "Mr. Canham, how much money do you make on the basketball team?" ° "Not very much, if fans continue to stay away from Crisler Arena. Where are the fans? Why don't the fans want to sit behind the basket on the rafters and not be able to see the game? Speaking of those fans, as one of my colleagues remarked, "Criser Arena is like a neutral court." Did you see Jenison Fieldhouse on Saturday night? The fans won that game. How many games have you seen the crowd 'win' at Crisler Arena. Speaking of winning, Bo Schembechler won Steve Smith over yesterday. And who lost? Rick Hewlett and B. J. Dickey. But then again, Johnny Orr needs a point guard and I am willing to bet Rich Hewlett may not have travelled against Ohio State or thrown the ball away against Toledo. Sitting on Bo's bench Another recruit, Kerry Smith, a running back from Grand Rapids, signed with Bo yesterday. Great luck to you, Kerry. It's a lot of fun to sit on the bench for three years. Ask Lawrence Reid or Gerald Diggs about their superlative high school careers and then their time watching backs like Rob Lytle and Harlan Huckleby. Kerry, it's a blast to watch Butch Woolfolk run. Back to basketball. Orr inked Ann Arbor's Dean Hopson and is hoping to lure Tim McCormick. McCormick would help but Johnny O., please get a point guard. Wouldn't Kevin Smith have helped? And in the Big Ten, count everyone out except Indiana. With Mike Woodson back, Bobby Knight's quintet should sail to the Big Ten title. Eldon Miller's coaching, or lack thereof, will prevent Ohio State from winning it. And Joe Barry Carroll, the omnipresent but slumping Purdue star, will swoon just in time to lose a lot of money come NBA draft time. Which brings us back to the subject of money. With money oftentimes comes greed. For ten points, when you think of greed, who do you think of? George Steinbrenner Steinbrenner did not want the inimitable Billy Martin as his manager because he shoved a marshmallow man around. But Oakland nw wants Martin, so Steinbrenner wants some players in return. Greed. "Oh, Mr. Canham, what does greed mean?" "We learned that several weeks ago. Where were you?"
