July 9, 1976 3B ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH l.fv Jlli 'V WW Of Tevye, Giesler, Kiev, Colleges I 1. bob broeg sports editor e-6w loss in the meet by which area college teams St. Louis University, Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, University of Mis-souri-St. Louis and Quincy will compete against four invited opponents.

To celebrate St. Louis's part of the Bicentennial appropriately in sports, chairman Milt Bischoff and other interested persons had sought originally to bring here collegiate or national youth teams of the countries whose flags first flew over St. Louis France, Spain and England. Additionally, the ethnic heart of this old French fur-trading post would have been saluted with the national juniors of West Germany, Ireland and Italy. For that matter, there was talk that the Israeli national team would be invited to play the Stars as part of the Strassen-fest.

But Dynamo Kiev, a great professional team en route to an amateur event, the Olympics, was available more reasonably. And before Anheuser-Busch stepped in, the soccer tournament didn't have the money to invite the countries mentioned. By then invitations had been extended to Mackenzie University of Brazil, to the French-Canadians of Quebec Select, to Canada's National Youth Soccer Club and to Venezuela's Youth Club of Caracas. They bring interesting credentials to test the four St. Louis-area college teams, as Walter Giesler would attest.

The Final Whistle A conciliator in an argumentative sport, Giesler insisted despite a rwnt heart attack to attend the annual USSFA meetings last week at Valley Forge, Pa. There, as manager of the United States team that upset England in the 1950 World Cup in Brazil, 1-0, Walter was asked to induct the American stars in the national soccer Hall of Fame. Seated awaiting induction were St. Louisans Frank Borghi, Charley Colum-bo and Harry Keough. Proudly, head bobbing characteristic-ly, Giesler related his "greatest thrill," remembering how goalie Borghi had astounded the Brazilians by throwing the ball beyond midfield and how Colum-bo of the underdog Americans had delighted the host nation by tackling an Englishman in the clear.

Then, at the height of recalling his and America's top soccer moment, Walter Giesler collapsed and died. He'll be missed wherever soccer is cussed and discussed, but all of us should be so fortunate as to be thinking and talking about our first love at the Final Whistle. Artists should appreciate each other even if they don't appreciate or comprehend what the other does or says. Dynamo Super, But Walter Giesler, as one of America's best-informed soccer men, a former player, referee, sponsor, Olympic manager and ex-president of the United States Soccer Football Association, would have understood a soccer note received yesterday from sports buff Jack Moran. Without demeaning Dynamo Kiev's earlier Super Cup conquests of Bayern Munich, West Germany's top professional team composed of most of the defending World Cup players, Moran pointed out that captain Franz Becken-bauer had been minus injured Gerd Muller and a couple of key players in the home-and-home series.

Even if the sun long since has set on the British Empire, begging the pardon of Her Majesty on her royal visit to the colonies, the sun never sets on the No. 1 international sport soccer. Sure, Walter Giesler would like to be there to break bread at the St. Louis Bicentennial soccer dinner Friday night, Aug. 6 at Stouffer's Riverfront Towers and, of course, Giesler would have been at virtually all games of the area's international invitational soccer tournament scheduled Aug.

8-15. Most assuredly, the 65-year-old Giesler, sporting-goods executive and sportsman, would have been out there with the record crowd at Francis Field for Wednesday's mismatch in which Russia's Olympic-bound Dynamo Kiev toyed with those enthusiastic, ever-trying St. Louis Stars, 4-1. Giesler, a pixy whose eyes squinted in a smile from behind horn-rimmed glasses, would have grinned even wider at the story toldkout the sons of the Soviet Union. In Asked what they would like to see in St.

Louis, they opted for the famous Municipal Opera in Forest Park, but hypersensitive hosts politely suggested a trip downtown to Busch Memorial Staai-, urn instead. Not that the political Reds wouldn't see more zeroes at the ball park than the Zero starring as, if he'll forgive the expression, the most delightful ham ever to portray Tevye. But because inoffensive St. Louisans felt that the young Russians might be offended by watching "Fiddler on the Roof." Although the mistreatment of the Jews came under the Czarist regime, the young Russkies, sons and grandsons of the Bolsheviks who threw off the suppressive royal yoke, might have found no joke or even understanding in Tevye's whimsical soliloquy with God as a silent listener. Somehow, even if the Kiev kids' interpreter had tailored Tevye's translation to suit the party line, I rather wish the Russians had seen Mr.

Mostel. Thinking of buying a new carr 01 Which of these luxury cars has front-wheel drive, the most trunk space. Subsequently, at full strength, Moran pointed out, Bayern Munich won its third straight European Cup championship by beating St. Etienne, the French "Foreign Legion" team that eliminated Dynamo Kiev. Naturally, Giesler would have known that, just as he glowed to learn unofficially earlier that Anheuser-Busch, like Pepsi-Cola long interested in the local soccer program, had come to the rescue of the Bicentennial tournament.

Losses Underwritten As a result in part of the brewery's participation announced yesterday by vice-president Denny Long, one of the area's most enthusiastic soccer supporters, Anheuser-Busch will underwrite any gas mileage, and costs half as much? WHO'S GOLDIE? Bill Hudson, the efdest of the Hudson Brothers, was married to Gjbldie Hawnpn Saturday.

Rik Constance, 76. lost, 15-9. Sherry Overton, 1976 Missouri Watermelon Queen, and Linda Saputo, 1975 Missouri Watermelon Queen, gave out watermelons for every home run. Mark Hudson was impressed. "They have the best watermelons I've seen in a long time," Hudson said.

"And you can quote me." Only five home runs were hit despite an inviting left-fieldfence that was only 235 feet away. "Still a long ways to me," said Metcalf. Metcalf got his watermelon the hard way. He hit an inside-the-park-homer. The Hudson Brothers, in St.

Louis to rehearse "On The Town" for the Municipal Opera (July 19-25), got no watermelons. But the California-based lads got to meet two of their heroes, Hart and Metcalf. That was thrill enough for them. "I'm still in awe that Terry Metcalf and Jim Hart are here," Mark said. "We're fans of theirs." "Both you guys made the Hudson Brothers All-Star team," Brett told Metcalf.

"We were the only guys in LA rooting for you." "I was kinda rooting for us, too," Metcalf said of last season's playoff game against the Rams. Last night, most of the crowd was rooting for the Hudson Brothers even if they had a hard time telling Bill from Brett. All the brothers were wearing old baseball Cardinal uniforms. But while Mark was wearing a Ken Tatum jersey (No. 19), Bill and Brett were each wearing a Tim McCarver jersey (No.

15). Most of the fans were too far away to notice Bill's wedding band (he married Goldie Hawn Saturday) or Brett's earring trying to be like Errol Flynn," Mark said. "But he looks more Huckleberry A fenterfielder with a pierced ear, though, is no more uncommon than a lefhanded catcher. Gary Bender, KMX-TV sportscaster, entered the game as a catcher, lefthanded though he is. "I'm afraid I'm going to set this game back a little bit," Bender said.

He shouldn't have been afraid. By Jerry Stack Of the Post-Dispatch Staff There was Minnesota Fats warming the bench. There was a belly dancer who didn't dance. There was a hot-air balloon. And there was Steve Mizerany.

There was Jack Buck with a cigarette and Ron Jacober with a pipe. "And the fellow with the nickel cigar is Mayor John Poelker," said the announcer, Mickey Garagiola. There were big names from sports (Jim Hart, Terry Metcalf, Stan Musial, Lou Brock, Al Hrabosky), from show business (the Hudsrfn Brothers) and from politics (Representative James W. Symington). There was a show by the Brass Unlimited Senior Drum Bugle Corps and there was a show by the Green Beret 102nd Airborne Assault Force In Action.

Trouble was, both were trying to put on their show at the same time. All this and a fireworks display, too. Yes, the seventh annual St. Louis Police Relief Association benefit Softball game was held last night and more than 8000 persons wandered around Washington University's Francis Field trying to figure out what was going on. As Bill Hudson said, "Well, this so far has been pretty crazy." The craziest scene occurred when the helicopter carrying the Green Berets hovered over the field with the Brass Unlimited Senior Drum Bugle Corps still on the field playing.

The wind created by the helicopter propeller blew the hats right off the Drum Bugle Corps members and sent them scurrying. "That was really something," Mark Hudson said. "I bet a lot of people lost wigs, glasses and bras." Jim Otis, the football Cardinals fullback, was one who didn't lose his wig. "Thjs is the true test," Otis said in triumph. When the game got underway, it became apparent that the police were at a disadvantage against the The police made it clear to Otis that stealing was not allowed, but still they am mm Amateur Baseball MISSOURI NATIONAL BASEBALL CONGRESS TOURNAMENT At Heine Meine Field, Lemay TOOAY Kutis vs.
