Brazil takes
third in
soccer play
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina
(AP) — Undefeated Brazil
came from behind in the second
half Saturday to defeat Italy 2-1
and win third place in the World
Cup soccer tournament.
The three-time world cham-
pions, edged out for the finals of (
the championship on goal av-
erage by Argentina, came alive
in the second half with two per-
fect long shots by midfielders
they dart into defensive gaps to con-
vert.
Virtually no Dutchman plays in a
fixed position. Fullbacks like Ernie
Brandts guard their goal with tackles
so fierce that they sometimes score
against themselves. But they come
back with great long-range shots from
as far as 40 yards to win games
Attackers like Robbie Rensenbrink
usually line up as midfielders, but
combine remarkable dribbling and
formidable shooting Rensenbrink is
the scoring star of the team, having
tallied a total of five goals during the
month-long tournament, more than any
other player in the Cup.

The Latins have shed their image as
the bad boys of international soccer
under the direction of their chain-
smoking coach, Luis Cesar Menotti.
A decade ago, Argentine national
teams were feared as rough tacklers
and often expelled from games. In the
1966 World Cup, English Manager Alf
Ramsey called them "animals" after
they lost a game with poor sport-
smanship at Wembley Stadium.
Now, in a change of roles, Argen-
tina's Menotti is voicing fears that the
finals might turn “into a punchup" if
the Dutch players use as much body
contact as they did against Italy earlier
this week.
Holland is in the final for the second
straight time. The Dutch lost 2-1 to West
Germany in the 1974 final at Munich
Most of that great Dutch team still
are playing — except for the legendary
Johann Cruyff, who has retired.
Argentina, less polished but riding
the crest of nationalistic frenzy, also
fell short of a world title in 1930 It
crossed the La Plata River and was
beaten by neighbor Uruguay 4-2.
The orange-shirted Dutch, who have
scored more goals than any other team
in the World Cup, enjoy the nickname
“clockwork orange."
They make a specialty of a midfield
whirlpool spinning passes among each
other that have dizzied opponents, then

Jon Matlack tossed a two-hitter
for his first American league
shutout and Richie Zisk, Bobby
Bonds and Bobby Thompson
drove in the runs as the Texas
Rangers stopped the California
Angels 3-0 Saturday night for
their fifth consecutive triumph
Matlack, who has only a 6-8
record but a 2.57 earned run
average, allowed only infield
singles to Dave Machemer and
Dave Chalk and only one Cali-
fornia runner reached second
He walked one and struck out
five.
Texas scored its first two runs
off loser Dave Frost, 0-1, just
back from the minors. The first
one came in the third inning
when Bump Wills singled with
two out, stole second and came
home on a single by Zisk.
Texas scored in the fifth
without a hit Bert Campaneris
was hit by a pitched ball to lead
off the inning and moved to
second on Wills' groundout.
Campaneris stole third and
scored on Bonds' sacrifice fly,
his ninth RBI in the last three
games.
The Rangers' final run came
in the eighth when rookie center
fielder Thompson hit his first
major league homer off reliever
Dave LaRoche.
The victory was the Rangers’
third straight over the Angels
and second shutout in three
games. Fergie Jenkins blanked
California Friday night.
The Rangers threatened in
each of the first six innings but
had only two runs to show for
their efforts until Thompson’s
homer in the eighth.
Mike Hargrove led off the
bottom of the first with a single
and was sacrificed to second by
Campaneris Wills walked and
Zisk singled to load the bases
with one out but Bonds hit into a
double play.
Toby Harr eh doubled with
two out in the second but was
stranded when Thompson lined
out.
• The Rangers finally scored in
the third when Wills singled
with two outs, stole second and
came home on Zisk's single.
They put runners on first and
second in the fourth and failed
to score but picked up their
second run in the fifth.
The final scoring threat be-
fore Thompson's homer came in
the sixth.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) +
Holland's disciplined goal-making
machine pits itself against the Latin
rhythm of Argentina on Sunday in a
historic finale to the 1978 World Cup
soccer tournament.
Neither team has ever won the
championship, an event which draws
hundreds of millions to their television
sets around the world.
In U.S. sports terms, the World Cup
combines all the excitement of the
World Series and the Super Bowl rolled
into one.
Although soccer still is just catching
on in the United States, it is estimated
that up to one billion people around the -
globe may be watching Sunday's final

But the Brazilians had not lost E
in their six games at the World
Cup and wanted to prove they
were worthy of the finals.
Furthermore, they wanted to
erase the bitter memory of a
defeat for third place by Poland
in the 1974 World Cup in Ger-

The Brazilians put on the
pressure after Causio scored his
goal, and kept on the attack
until halftime.
Finally, at the 63rd minute,
Nelinho tied the score on a shot
from about 30 yards. Seven
minutes later, the scrappy 25-
J year-old Dirceu, the spark of
the team, sent Brazil ahead.

For years the University Interscholastic
League has been running perhaps the best high
school sports show in the country. It’s difficult to
picture the Texas high school program being
where it is today without the UIL.
But now people are going to court over UIL
rules, and the authority of the powerful body
may be seriously undermined. Most of the heat is
coming from the Houston area, which has
produced a large share of the state’s blue chip
athletes.
Early this year, the UIL barred Linda
Williams from Houston Wheatley’s all-male
baseball team before a federal judge granted her
the right to play. The judge found she had been
denied her rights under the “equal protection”
clause of the 14th amendment.
But that may be only window-dressing com-
pared to coming attractions. Another legal
hassle has developed, and is apparently the
byproduct of the UIL’s double standards.
A Houston Madison basketball player has
asked a federal court to grant an injunction
against the league which says the youth will lose
his eligibility if he attends a training camp this
summer.
The youth’s father wants the UIL disbanded
because it unconstitutionally deprives the player
of the legitimate opportunity to better himself
professionally. Greg Kite stands 6-11 and is
considered top basketball material.
There's more. National Basketball Assn, stars
Dave Cowens of the Boston Celtics and Rudy
Tomjanovich of the Houston Rockets are ex-
pected to file a companion suit on Monday
charging restraint of trade because UIL rules
prohibit football and basketball players from
attending training camps. The suit claims there
is no restriction against camps for junior varsity
or B team players or such spring sports as
tennis, golf and baseball.
Cowens and Tomjanovich aren’t getting in-
volved just for the kids. They plan to operate
summer clinics in Texas.
The UIL has defended its position on the
grounds that in the long run its rules are best.
Athletic Director Bill Famey said the philosophy
of the league “is the total educational program in
interscholastic competition on some kind of
equity basis.”
“From that standpoint the rules are
necessary,” he said. “From an individual liberty
standpoint, it doesn’t make sense.”
Meanwhile, it appears that any course Famey
and the UIL take in any controversy could lead to
outright warfare. Stay tuned.
