THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR MONDAY, JUNE 25, 1979 FOYT RUNS AWAY WITH MUSIC 500 PAGE 22- A.J. Displays Winning Way Again By ROBIN MILLER Star Sportswriter Long Pond, Fa. In the end it was the same old song. i- i A.J. Foyt, the man who's been at the top of the speed charts for two decades, cut a record third triumph at Pocono International Raceway by cruising through the Music 500 with all the strain of Frank Sinatra whipping through a few bars of "My Way." And that's an appropriate theme for Foyt's 65th United States Auto Club championship victory because he couldn't have requested an easier tempo.

Challenged early by Danny Ongais, Larry Dickson and Roger McCluskey, Super Tex hummed along while that trio fell by the wayside as he finished two laps ahead of Jim McElreath to take his fourth decision in five USAC races of 1979. DICKSON, WHO spent the final three circuits in the pits because his car wouldn't accept any more fuel, wound up third, Jerry Sneva came from 24th to take fourth and Dick Simon was fifth nine laps behind. But the biggest surprise of the day certainly wasn't Foyt's domination, it was the healthy throng of 50.000 that showed up despite 50-degree tempera- TIRE FLIES AS ELDON RASMUSSEN HITS 1ST TURN WALL IN POCONO 500 Indianapolis Native Seriously Injured In Crash That Destroyed His Car tures, 30 mile-an-hour winds, the fuel shortage and the missing names of CART. And for a while, it lookd as though those brave were going to have their perseverance rewarded with one, fine dash to the checkered flag. For the first 100 laps, the lead was exchanged by Johnny Parsons, Tom Bigelow, Dickson, McCluskey, Ongais and polesitter Foyt.

Parsons, keeping up the Cosworth pace with his 4-cyIinder Lightning, once again departed before breaking into a sweat when his engine failed on Lap 36. That left five fellas in the hunt and they continued to have a right, nice dice throughout the first half of second leg of L'SAC's Triple Crown. THEN THE unexplained forces of motor sports began taking over and the complexion of competition started changing. McCluskey, looking like his old charging self, came bolting up from the third row to lead half a dozen laps before getting KO'd by a freak failure. The rear bulkhead in his Lola separated, moving the radiator pod out where it began rubbing his left rear tire and the shredded rubber sent him into a spin and out of action at 102 laps.

Next to fall off the leader's pace was Bigelow who, after extracting himself from a fierce duel with Gary Bet-tenhausen, had moved into fifth with the front four right in his eyesight. But Biggie ran out of fuel on the 122d go-around and the subsequent long pit stop dropped him way back where his radiator pitched with 15 laps remaining. That left Oneais, Foyt and Dickson to 1' 'i aara jsT- jf RASMUSSEN RESCUED Injured la 500 Crash scious, Eldon was cut out of his mangled racer and rushed to a nearby hospital. After regaining consciousness, it was discovered he'd suffered a broken right ankle, possible broken ribs and a concussion. Phil Threshie, Bettenhausen's teammate on Grant King's stock block team, also got into the wall after cutting an engine and spinning in his own oil.

Foyt, who won this race in 1973 and collected $78,562 for his eighth 500-miler triumph. "I had a funny feeling that something was gonna break late there but it didn't," exclaimed A.J. afterwards. "Everything just went perfect and my car felt super all day. I just wonder how long I can keep this up." As long as you want partner.

Danny the only CART driver to compete in a full USAC show in this scrambled season, had built up an 18-second advantage over Foyt by turning laps of 177-plus. Then, as has been his fate of late, Ongais exited on the 148th lap when his Cosworth chugged to a halt. Foyt inherited the top spot and a 6-second lead over Dickson before the final fling of luck struck. Dickson rolled into the pits with a dead motor on the 161st go-around and it took 42 seconds to get the three-time USAC sprint champ back on the track. A fuel pickup problem was the reason for Dickson's ills and it put him over a lap behind Super Tex.

From there it was simply a question of how far ahead Foyt wanted to be and how many of the 25 starters would be moving at the end. GARY BETTENHAUSEN brought out the final yellow flag of the afternoon and had a well-deserved third-place snatched out of his hands when his stock block Chevy blew and sent G.B. spinning to a stop in the oil on the 185th lap. Dickson limped in again just three trips from the finish and had to watch as McElreath drove around him for the runner-up honors as only seven machines were still running after the three hour and 40 min ute program. Eldon Rasmussen, who arrived here Saturday to help fill the field and took the green flag Sunday without a lap of practice, didn't get much return for his efforts.

The rear wing of his Bivouac Special came off of the 58th lap and sent Rasmussen smashing into the first turn wall nearly head-on. Knocked uncon A 'Little Mistake' Beats The Devils By SUSAN LaMAR WADE "One little mistake" sounds pretty insignificant. Trevino Wins Canadian fight it out and Lightin' Larry had Russ Polak's Penske-Cosworth operatin' as he was out in front from laps 96-113 before A.J. regained command. THE FOUR-TIME Indianapolis victor managed to stay in front of Ongais for the next 22 circuits before they both pitted on consecutive times around.

But Ongais, who changed tires while Foyt only took on methanol, steadily began opening up the distance after the stops. BEN CRENSHAW, never really in title contention, birdied two of the last three holes for a 71 and claimed second at 284. Bob Gilder was fourth at 70-286. Tied at 287 were defending champion Bruce Lietzke, Howard Twitty and Australian David Graham. Twitty's 69 matched the best score of the day.

Lietzke had a 70, Graham 71. Watson finished with a 7-over-par 78 including 40 on the back nine and fell back to third at 285. It was small consolation to the man seeking a fifth title of the season that he broke his own single-season money-winning record. He won $23,800, pushing his earnings for the year to $377,674. He'd set the previous record last year with $362,429.

The defeat was the third straight at home for the Devils. Perhaps the closest the Daredevils came to knotting the contest was in the final 10 minutes of the game. Midfielder Kevin Missey belted the ball goalward from about 20 yards upfield, and his effort trickled along the outside of the net. IN THE FIRST half, the Devils almost treated the announced crowd of 2,542 to a goal when defender Steve Buckley bounded a slanting shot from the right side. However, it bounced off the right post and back into play.

Geimer said one of the first things he'll seek is some reinforcement for his injured troops. "We only had two substitutes on the bench today, and you're allowed four," he pointed out. That posed a problem when Buckley and Tom Redmond had but a moment's rest before having to go back in when Kevin Missey and Roberto Arciniega suffered leg cramps in the waning minutes. "I'm thinking seriously of bringing back Tim Logush," Geimer said. Logush, a second-year Daredevil also from St.

Louis, was released June 1 along with Geimer for what former coach Sam Donnelly called a bad attitude. "Tim's about the only one who's fit that we could get. We need some help here," he said, nodding to the bench. The Columbus Magic will be the Devils' next opponent in a 2:05 p.m. match July 1 at Butler Bowl.

But it can be a killer as the Indy Daredevils discovered Sunday afternoon at Butler Bowl against the Cleveland Cobras, dropping their fourth straight American Soccer League decision, 1-0. The miscue charged to rookie goalkeeper John Baretta came in the 40th minute when Cleveland's John Brooks headed in a cross-field pass from teammate Joe Kowalczyk for the lone score of the game.

What makes that lone and decisive tally so frustrating for the Daredevils is that they dominated the entire game, lashing out 33 shots on goal to the Cobras' nine and outfiring their guests, 14-6, in the opening period. "We played tremendous until we got in front of the goal," observed a puzzled Gene Geimer, who was making his debut as Indy's coach. "We outplayed them both halves. "WE HAD A LOT of chances. But we didn't have that final poise needed to score.

Finishing (taking advantage of a scoring opportunity) is the name of the game." Geimer, who was summoned from his St. Louis home Thursday to coach the team, was quick to add that he was "very pleased" with the players. "They had great teamwork. They played the ball out of the back really well and created a lot of chances. "Everybody worked hard and worked for each other," he noted.

"They deserved better." The Devils, who could have slipped into third place in the Western Division over idle Las Vegas simply by winning, remain in fourth with a 3-9-2 showing. Oakville, Ont. (AP) Lee Trevino said he wasn't surprised to win the Canadian Open golf tournament, but he was surprised to win the way he did. "I didn't think I could win with a 71," Trevino said Sunday after Tom Watson's collapse opened the gates for his three-stroke triumph. "Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could win with a round of par 71.

1 wish I'd shot lower and Tom had shot lower. But a win's a win. I'll take it," Trevino said. "It means a lot to me, especially beating Tom Watson. Right now he's the best out here.

BUT THE RAGGED performance by Watson, a three-stroke leader when the final round started, opened the gates for Trevino's drive to his third Canadian national title. The victory made him only the second man in history to pass J2 million in career earnings on the PGA Tour. He scored his first victory of the season and 22d of his career with a 281 total, 3 strokes under par on the Glen Abbey Golf Club course. Watson, the outstanding player in the game over the last 2'j years, simply didn't have it. He squandered a 3-stroke lead with a triple-bogey 6 early in the round, twice regained the top spot, but gave it back each time, the last on a string of three consecutive bogeys.

Burial will be in Ohev-Zedek Cemetery.

Mr. Greenwald died Saturday at home. Born in South Bend, he grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Greenwald joined The Star as a part-time employe In 1929 after attending Butler University for two years.

He wore a variety of hats in the sports department, serving at various times as a copy editor and bowling columnist. But Mr. Greenwald was best known for his longtime coverage of the Indianapolis Indians and American Association baseball. He was honored twice by the Dall club for his contributions to baseball and was elected president of the American Association Baseball Writers Association in July 1955. He retired in February 1977 but remained with the paper on a part-time basis until his death.

"We just tried to take away the low post and their No. 1 guard with some double-teaming adjustments," the Indiana coach said. Bill called this Kentucky team one of the strongest potentially in recent All-Star history.

He singled out Hurt and Turpin in particular, saying that Hurt should have been Kentucky's Mr. Basketball in his opinion. Hurt was the leading rebounder in both All-Star games. The Indiana coach also said he's not advocating any change in our All-Star selection system because of Kentucky's four wins in the last six games. "Kentucky comes along with a crop of recruits like this one just once in every 10 years.

I think the ratio of our Indiana wins down through the years shows that," he added. HARRELL, A KENTUCKY state title winner at Shelby County in 1966, agrees that the Derby Classic series has taken away a lot of the emphasis on the Blind Fund rivalry in the Bluegrass state but he would hate to see the Indiana-Kentucky rivalry end because of declining Louisville attendance. For the second straight year the Freedom Hall attendance was estimated at 7,000 and a large section of it as usual came in from the Hoosier state in spite of the serious gasoline crunch. "I'd really hate to see it end this year because you know that Kentucky is going to cite their two sweeps in the last three years as the reason." Indiana's Girls All-Stars duplicated last week's excellent form only for the first half going down to the Hoosier state's sixth straight loss in the 4-year-old series, 72-54.

Brute strength and a whopping 48-34 superiority on the boards was all that saved favored Kentucky in Saturday's 72-69 comeback victory over a much smaller Indiana All-Star team in their Blind Fund basketball barnburner at Freedom Hall. Kentucky completed its second sweep in three years in the World Series of High School Basketball as expected, but not before Indiana grabbed a big 22-10 lead in the opening minutes and still led by a 61-57 score with less than six minutes to go. It was a big improvement over the 78-59 loss to Kentucky in The Indianapolis Star's Blind Fund classic at Indianapolis' Market Square Arena the first week when the Hoosiers opened up a 35-30 lead in the first period and then shot a feeble 22 per cent in the second half. INDIANA'S DEFENSE was the reason, according to Coach Bill Harrell of Muncie Central's state champs. The Hoosiers took away the low post so effectively that 6-11 Kentucky giant Melvin Turpin got into foul trouble and it also forced standout forward Charles Hurt to go to the middle where he could be double-teamed by the guards.

A late 12-point flurry by the Kentuckians wiped out Indiana's 61-57 lead and put the Bluegrass youngsters on top at 69-61 with less than three minutes on the clock. Indiana simply wore down against superior odds and Kentucky took charge for the first time since 8-4 in the game's first five minutes. I just love the effort we got from everybody in this second game," said Coach Harrell, reflecting on one of the most exciting finishes for an All-Star game in recent years. "I thought everyone who played' gave every ounce and it was their physical strength that proved to be the difference in the end. "I can't say enough about our defense holding one of the strongest Kentucky All-Star teams in 20 years to just 78 points in one game and 72 in the other.

Kentucky had been making a lot of disparaging statements about Indiana basketball since last week's first game and it definitely helped get our kids up for this second game. "OF COURSE, ERIC Williams (South Bend Washington) was the best guard on the floor in this game. He told me before the game that he was ready to play and they don't come much better when he's at his best." upset-minded Hoosiers, drilling nine of his 10 shots from the field in a nose-to-nose struggle with Kentucky's All-American Dirk Min-niefield. It was Indiana's strongest reply to some of the comments that Kentucky's Mr. Basketball made in the Louisville papers during the week.

Indiana shot 51.6 in the first half while Kentucky could hit only three of its first 17 attempts from the field and Harrell pointed out that the Hoosier lead should have been even better than 37-34 at the intermission. "If we had just hit more of our 'crip' shots in the first half, we could have gone to our spread in the second half and forced Kentucky out of its zone." Both Mr. Basketball candidates could testify to the outstanding defense played by both teams in this year's series. Indiana's Steve Bouchie of Washington scored just 21 points in the two games and Minnifield was limited to just 19. Minniefield got just three shots in the second period Saturday night and missed all three.

TURPIN'S FOUL trouble turned out to be a crippling factor for the Kentuckians but he still got six big points when the home team made its tide-turning 12-point run in the second half. He collected his fourth foul on the first play of the second period but returned to the Kentucky lineup long enough to deliver the most damaging blow. Turpin was Kentucky's leading scorer with 13 points and he contributed 11 rebounds (second only to Hurt's 16) before fouling out at 4:54 with Kentucky holding a 65-61 lead. A short time later Indiana missed six straight free throws with a chance to put still more pressure on Kentucky. Bouchie missed four and that was simply a case of Indiana wearing down in the closing minutes following a wire-to-wire battle agsinst tremendous size.

Indiana still refused to give up when Kentucky started its delay in the last two minutes. Terre Haute South's Cam Cameron had a shot from 20 feet with the score at 69-67 and 43 seconds showing but it fell short of the mark and went out of bounds to Kentucky. BOUCHIE HAD ANOTHER good crack at a 3-point play underneath in the last two seconds but Indiana didn't get the call. "Cam's shot was about as good as we were going to get against Kentucky's zone in the closing seconds. We wanted to put it up quick so we might have a chance to get the ball back if we missed.

Kentucky had dropped back inside and we just couldn't expect to get anything much closer." Coach Harrell conceded. (ADVERTISEMENT) I WAS A 116 WITHIN 10 DAYS I SHOT 74!

Indiana led 34-32 at the half and the Hoosiers were confident that they could reverse Kentucky's 58-57 first game win on a shot in the last 3 seconds. But the Indiana girls were outscored, 22-4, in the third period and shot a miserable 20 percent from the field in the second half. KENTUCKY PLAYED much better than last week when it trailed Indiana almost all the way. Four Kentucky players scored in double figures topped by Sharon Garland's 16 and the Bluegrass girls warmed Freedom Hall with 55 percent shooting in the second half.
