Utah 14-- THE Thursdav November 16 1978 Rule Change Expected to Prevent Swede From Keeping Cup - A radical change VIENNA L'PI of World Cuf rules will put an end to the three-yta- r reign of Sweden 's Ingemar Stenmark this season and make all skiers who are willing to tackle the downhill favorites to win the world title That is the consensus of both experts and Stenmark himself after new rules were adopted last summer to give skiers wno lacklc ilaiirfTi giant Sialom and the downhill an advantage over specialists like Stenmark who avoid the downhill "I don't think I have a chance to win a fourth World Cup uiiJer the new rules. " Stenmark said So now I will am at winning a gold at the 1980 Winter " Olympics the Swedish World Cup holder suffered another blow recently when Swiss chocolate manufacturers used his photograph on the r products thus endangering his status as an amateur for the 1980 Games at Lake Placid But Swedish coach Torgny Svensson remairr. unworried "It is very hard to prevent the misuse of the names of famous athletes," he said "But if anyone should report we can prove that they used his name without his permission." The new World Cup rules stipulate that the racers with the best aggregate results in four combined races this season earn 25 points, the same number of points they would get for a win in a separate downhill, slalom or giant slalom Another new rule says that World Cup points will be given on a etc basis for the top 25 instead of just the top 10 in the last three races at the end of the season. Normally the points etc basis go on a This is aimed at encouraging such as Stenmark to take part in the last downhill races to make sure the final races of the season have i , some meaning Last season Stenmark had the Cup wrapped up by the middle of January Stenmark still insists he will strong enough to win ITALY Team manager Josef Messner who has taken over from Mario Cotelli took his squad to Argentina last month to get his two former World Cup champions Thoeni and Gros into top shape It worked perfectly for Thoeni Messner said Many experts believed that Gustavo at 27 was over the hill after two disappointing seasons But expect him back on top this season In the downhill team, Messner is again counting on Herbert Plank who beat Klammer and the other top Austrian three times last season To show he means business this season Messner has introduced a $125 fine for any skier who violates training rules This is a psychological point, but it has been a long time since this team not compel in downhills, no nutter ho his chances stand in the final stage of the season But his rivals don t believe him I cannot imagine Ingemar with all his first class technical abilities giving p his chances by staying assy froai said Austria s Klaus the downhill Heidegger now one of the favorites for the trophy Other top contenders this season are likely to be Italy's Piero Gros. 23, the 1974 World Cup champion his team mate Gustavo Thoeni. 27 who plans a comeback this season, and American Phil Mahre. 2i. who won three World Cup races last season A roundup AUSTRIA 1 team-bv-tea- Franz Klammer. downhill world champion who was surprisingly beaten in last winter's world championships by his teammate Sepp Walcher. hopes to stage an impressive comeback in his favorite event after switching Austrian ski manufacturers and declining to turn pro "I feel much better on my new skis.'' he said "It will boost my morale this PITTSBURGH Right fielder 24, a Parker, winner . of Parker would be signed "Right know I'm going to say we will sign Dave Parker."

The game plan pure and simple was to rush the at UCLA's roll-oquarterback, Rick Bashore, and dare him to pass. Bashore didn't put the ball in the air once in the first half, which wound Bashore had some success running the ball up in the first two periods. But in the third quarter, he was shut down, and so were Theotis Brown and James Owens, the Bruins dynamic duo at the halfback spots and the best the Bruins could do was a field goal for a 0 lead. The Beavers continued their tactics of daring Bashore to pass, and finally he had to, but failed to connect in 10 attempts. The Beavers, with the wind at their backs in the fourth period, got a safety, then Kieron Walford kicked a field goal with 3:08 left to produce the biggest victory at Oregon State since Dee Andros' giantkillers knocked off No. 1 USC 10-1- 13-1- 11 and O.J. Simpson, also on years previously Armistice Day. "I feel a lot better about this one, because I was on the other side as an assistant coach 11 years ago," said Fertig. The game plan employed against UCLA was the thing Fertig was talking to Robinson about because the Trojans and UCLA battle next Saturday for tne Pacific 10's berth in the Rose Bowl. "The win over UCLA really is the big victory we've been looking for in our rebuilding program at Oregon State," said Fertig, now in his third season after spending 12 years as an assistant to John McKay at USC, where he also quarterbacked, and a shcrt fling as an assistant coach with the Portland Storm in the old World Football League. "You can say our program has rounded second, and is heading for third," said Fertig, whose teams went 9 in each of his first two seasons, and now is with games left at home against Arizona State and Oregon. "But we've promised the kids the month k of November belongs to us as we're 0 with conference wins looking for two more." g Asked if he had received many calls, Fertig replied, "Yes, McKay was the first. He called at 6 a.m. Sunday and when I reminded him how early it was in Oregon, he said. 'Hell, when I won a college game, I was in the film room by that time.' "That's where I'm headed now, to look at some film of Arizona State." sporting goods TOTAL f to keep your entire body in ton chanof A. EXECUTIVE DUMBELLS too 3.3 Hi. dumbeis.
