Finland, seeded fifth, and the United States, seeded seventh, also should advance to the six-team medal round from the original 12-team field. "This is the most wide open Olympics that I've seen," said Mike Eruzione, captain of the U.S.

team that won the gold medal in 1980. Vladislav Tretiak was the goalie on the 1972, 1976 and 1984 Russian teams that won gold medals. At Sarajevo in the last Olympics, the Soviet Union allowed just five goals in winning all seven of its games. Then Tretiak retired. Evgeny Belosheikin took over.

He hasn't been nearly as successful, but the veteran first line of Vladimir Krutov, Igor Larionov and Sergei Makarov remains intact. "They're the most talented team CALGARY, Alberta (AP) The Soviet hockey team has one goal: to regain world superiority of the sport by dominating the Winter Olympics. The Soviets may not have th goalie to do it. Canada has the home ice and the hot goalies, Sean Burke and Andy Moog. Sweden's Peter Lindmark and Czechoslovakia's Dominik Hasek are strong in their nations' nets.

Americans Mike Richter and Chris are a notch below them, but they still are capable of starring in a short series such as the Winter Games. No longer does the Soviet Union have the best goalie. And no longer does it rate as the undisputed favorite to win an Olympic gold medal in the 16-day competition that begins Saturday. "It's tightened up a little bit," Art Berglund, general manager of the American team, said. here by a mile," Canadian Coach Dave King said.

In the last eight Olympics, the Russians won six gold medals, one silver and one bronze. They were 46-4-2. But now they can't play with the same aggressiveness that Tretiak allowed them to show. A feeling of confidence that the goalie could make up for their mistakes has been shaken. "Before this, they trusted their goalie so much," Finnish de-fenseman Reijo Ruotsalainen said.

"Now, maybe they have to think about it and change their offense and defense because Tretiak isn't back there." Soviet assistant coach Igor Dmitriyev agrees the path to gold won't be paved with patsies. "The Canada team will be much better than in Sarajevo. I think Czechoslovakia also is good. Finland now is good," he said. The seedings are based on last April's world championships in Vienna and may not accurately reflect the current strengths of the teams.

Sweden was only 5-3-2, but the format of the tournament gave them the championship over the Soviet Union, 8-0-2. In winning the Izvestia tournament in Moscow last December, Canada upset the Soviet Union 3-2. It beat the Soviet Olympic team by the same score Wednesday night in Saskatoon and has been bolstered by the addition of NHL players Steve Tambellini, Jim Peplinski and Tim Watters. "Everybody seems to feel the Russians aren't as strong. I don't buy that," U.S.

Coach Dave Peterson said. "We always assume the Russians are going to be hungrier" in the Olympics, King said. "They've got. things to prove." US chances are slim to bring home gold Associated Press Whatever happens in the ring, the Mike Tyson-Michael Spinks fight should produce a knockout in closed-circuit theaters and pay-per-view households across the country. The heavyweight title bout, tentatively scheduled for June, is expected to break the closed-circuit record set last April by the Sugar Ray Leonard-Marvelous Marvin Hagler fight and the pay-per-view mark established by "Wrestlemania III" last March.

Shelly Finkel, who owns the closed-circuit and pay-per-view rights to Tyson-Spinks, said the fight will be the biggest money-maker of all-time. "I know it will, just from the guarantees," he said. Leonard-Hagler netted about $30 million. Tyson-Spinks is expected to net nearly $40 million. Much of that will come from closed-circuit sales, but even more money could be generated by pay-per-view, which is now available in more than 10 million homes.

The promoters are hoping to sign up one million households, which would surpass the record of 600,000 for "Wrestlemania III." "I think pay-per-view will be the driving force," Finkel said. "It's -getting bigger all the time." Finkel said prices will be similar to Leonard-Hagler $25-30 at most closed-circuit sites and $35-50 for pay-per-view customers. Most of the money will go to Tyson and Spinks. The champion is expected to earn from $17 million to $20 million, while the challenger is guaranteed a minimum of $12.5 million. Like Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins, NBA ratings on TBS continue to soar.

"All-Star Saturday" was the most watched sports event in the cable network's history. Live coverage of the Legends Classic, Long-Distance Shootout and Slam-Dunk Championship was seen in 3,308,000 homes, surpassing the record of 3, 169,000 for Game 5 of last year's Boston-Detroit playoff series. NBA viewership on TBS is up 48 percent over last season. The network is averaging 1,347,000 households per telecast, compared with 913,000 last season. Can't tell a camshaft from a carburetor? Don't worry, you'll still be able to enjoy CBS' live telecast of the Daytona 500 Sunday.

Over the last 10 years, CBS has won a number of awards for its innovative coverage of the country's premier stock car race. The innovations include the Race-Cam, Face-Cam and Bumper-Cam small cameras that give viewers a close-up look at some of the drivers and the track. This year, Race-Cams will be used in cars ridden by Davey Allison, Rusty Wallace and Ricky Rudd. Broadcasting the race will be Ken Squier, Chris Economaki, Ned Jarrett, David Hobbs, Dave Despain and Mike Joy. Al Michaels will complete a broadcasting trifecta when he does hockey play-by-play for ABC at the Winter Olympics.

In the span of four months, Michaels will have worked the World Series, Super Bowl and Olympics. "I'm a very lucky guy," he said. "I grew up dreaming about doing the World Series and dreaming about doing the Olympics. The Super Bowl was not part of that equation, obviously, because it wasn't around then. But it certainly would have been part of that dream." Michaels is probably best known for his "Do you believe in miracles?" call when the U.S.

hockey team shocked the Soviet Union at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid. Shelly STAllsiviiTh Hello, Calgary. Today marks the start of the XV Winter Olympic Games. ABC plans over 100 hours of coverage, and not just the competitions themselves. The station plans to air many of the 80-plus up-close and personal interviews it has taped over the past several months.

Good interviews of US athletes may be the only positive thing Americans have to look forward to during the Games' 16-day run. Few Americans are expected to finish in the top three spots and garner a medal this year. So don't expect to hear our National Anthem played after medals are distributed. Viewers wanting to see American athletic supremacy will have to wait until September's Summer Games. America's best hopes for gold medals are on the ice.

Not the hockey team their dream began and ended in 1980 which is ranked sixth in the world. The U.S. speedskating team has several legitimate contenders for medals at the Games. Bonnie Blair be the strongest group ever assembled for the Games. The women's battle figures to be between American Debi Thomas and East German Katarina Witt.

The U.S.'s Brian Boitano will face his stiffest competition from Canada's Brian Orser. Orser will have the home fans, but Boitano has "the quad" in his jump arsenal. Thomas will see a lot of competition from her own teammates. A former national champion, Jill Trenary and Caryn Kadavy both have their sights set on an Olympic medal. There is a good chance two American women will be on the platform when medals are dished out.

The top U.S. hope in pairs competition is the pair of Peter Oppegard and Jill Watson. America's dancing hopes hang on the pair of Suzanne Semanick and Scott Gregory. Their chances hinge on Gregory's back. He has back problems and if it is acting up, he won't be able to perform the necessary lifts.

Injuries also plague the U.S. ski teams. Debbie Armstrong, who won the 1984 giant slalom gold medal, suffered a dislocated the fibula in her leg during a training session in Argentina over the summer. She didn't pick up her skis and join the World Cup tour until after Christmas. Her chances have to be listed as slight at best.

Tamara McKinney, the overall World Cup champion in 1983, broke a bone above her left ankle and missed the entire World Cup season. If McKinney can regain her skiing composure for the Games, she is considered the U.S. 's best hopes. America's best chance for medal in the men's slalom is Felix McGrath. He is the only American to ski well on the World Cup circuit and the best he did was two seventh-place finishes.

America's winter athletes may only have a few chances to bring home the gold, but that's no reason to refrain from watching the Olympics. It's great when the U.S. wins, but pageantry like this only comes around every four years. It would be a shame to only watch it when the U.S. fields a decent team.

has a strong shot at winning the 500 meter race and a good chance at the 1,000 meter gold. She is also considered a dark horse in the 1,500 meter race. Nick Thometz and Dan Jansen are America's best bet in men's races. Both are strong in the shorter races 500, 1,000 and 1,500 meters and Thometz holds the world record in the 500. Forget about medal chances in the longer distances.

The Americans just aren't strong enougn to beat the European competition.

In a spirited letter to all potential registrants for the ocnference, Dr. Mauarice K. Goddard, Board Chairman of PWF, said: "You're probably as fed up as I am with hearing about acid rain legislation and wonder when our lawmakers are going to start living up to their promises. "Opponents of acid rain legislation cry out for more studies and more evidence. In the meantime Pennsylvania's forsts, public water supplies, streams and outdoor artwork are being pickled, pelted and polluted by acidic precipitation.

"As early as 1984 at acid rain monitoring stations all across the Commonwealth, rain samples tested from 22 to 38 times more acidic than normal rainfall and in some cases, as high as 25 times more acidic. The 1985 and 1986 reports show a trend toward progressively lower pH readings." "During the last three years, Pennsylvania has received the most acidic deposition of any region in the United States. Pennsylvania is the second greatest producer of sulfur and nitrogen emissions which lead to acid rain and the single largest recipient of its effects," said Dr. Goddard. The spring baquet season lies just a few days beyond the current winter snow storm.

Acid rain in Pennsylvania is leading to: l.Water supply contamination by acid-leached metals such as lead, aluminum, cadmium and copper. 2.Sulfur oxides in the air are hazardous to asthmatics, children and the elderly. 3. Destruction of our forests due to ozone and acid rain.

4. Between $3.5 and $8 million of damage done to U.S. historic structures.monuments and buildings. Pennsylvania Wildlife, together with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources, Pennsylvania Fish Commission and Trout Unlimited, has arranged a special one-day conference dealing with the problem of acid rain. You'll come together with leading U.S.

and Canadian experts on acid rain who will show us how we can help put an end to this growing threat. Persons attending the conference are asked to check two of four workshops that they plan to attend. These workshops include 1. Health, Materials and Visibility Effects. 2.

Effects on Fish and Wildlife. 3. Effects on Forests and Agriculture. 4. Acid Rain technology.

PWF staff suggesting registering as soon as possible. Last year's conference had an attendance of over 700.
