However, after the first run, she admitted was having problems. "I made a mistake in the first part of the course and I tried to push hard to make up for it," she said. I was coming down too fast I nearly fell out on the icy slope which leads to the finish. I was lucky to stay on my feet and finish the race." Miss Cochran, younger sister of now-retired Barbara Cochran, who won the slalom gold in the 1972 Games at Sapporo, Japan, had runs of 47.96 and 45.23 for a total time of 1:33.24.

They were very steep, just the -way I like it." If she wins the giant slalom, she will join the two men who have won all three Alpine gold medals in one Olympics.

My second run-1 was better than the first: The course was icy, tricky and I remember having trouble midway down the course in the second run. "I am pleased, however, with my sixth place.

Mary Seaton of Hancock, was the only other American skier, finishing 10th in 1:30.87.

Miss Mittermaier, who is a hotel and restaurant waitress when she isn't skiing, got a big assist yesterday from Switzerland's Lise-Marie Morerod, a co-favorite who skied past a gate in the first slalom run and gave up. Miss Morerod had won six World Cup races this season, including versity Jan. 12 because he had admitted selling complimentary season tickets for more than their face value.

Sm lay Wtfittt Witt Inr mi oH By John Gilbert Staff Writer Used to be the Boston Bruins could play just about any style they wanted and still dominate the National Hockey League. Those days passed, but now the Bruins are playing a well-calculated system and are moving to a position, of dominance in the NHL again. Their 5-2 triumph over the willing but over matched North Stars Wednesday night, before 9,675 fans at Metropolitan Sports Center, was just more evidence.

With Pete LoPresti making 38 saves many of them sensational the North Stars gave the Bruins a run for two periods. They didn't fall behind for good, in fact, until the last minute of the second period. But when they attempted to rally in the third period, Boston outshot them 17-8 and got two vital goals past LoPresti. "We're not spectacular anymore," said Boston Coach Don Cherry. "We don't blow the other teams out like we used to, but all of our guys believe in the system.

It's nothing fancy, just hard work, but everybody's contributing. "The North Stars had a lot of life tonight, they were really moving," Cherry added. "But, I mean, I got the' horses. When the other team wakes up a little, we turn it on a little more. And we're winning on the road; that's the sure sign of a good team." The victory gives the Bruins a 13-2-4 record in their last 19 games on ihe road, and a 3-11-9 mark That dates back to about time the Bruins started believing in the system.

"We beat Buffalo home and home," Cherry, said, "then we went into Philly and beat the Flyers. That got us going." Last night, Terry O'Reilly got in clean on a 2-on-l and put Boston ahead at 3:48 of the first period. But the Stars tied it on Tim Young's rebound shot at 4:22. The upstart Minnesotans went so far as to take a 2-1 lead at 3:35 of the second period when Pierre Jarry took Dennis Hextall's feed and filtered a shot through goalie Gilles Gilbert. But, as if to explain Cherry's teamwork theory, Bobby Schmautz was the Bruin who emerged with a couple of big plays.

He took Jean Ratelle's drop pass, angled into the slot, and drilled a shot into the upper left corner at 14:37 cf the middle period for a 2-2 tie.

Former major league owner Robert Short, a Minneapolis businessman, and San Francisco businessman Robert Lurie brought an $8-million offer for the San Francisco Giants to court Wednesday and Judge John E. Benson issued an injunction blocking the proposed transfer of the baseball team to Toronto. Short and Lurie were brought together at the last moment by San Francisco Mayor George Moscone, who took the stand first in yesterday's superior court hearing and revealed their bid, which would match the basic offer of the Canadian group that includes Labatt's Breweries.

The offer by Short, former owner of the American League's Texas Rangers, and Lurie, a member of the Giant's board of directors, was not available in writing at the hearing.
