The Missoulian from Missoula, Montana • 17

The Missnulian, Thursday, July 6, 1972-17 King, Goolagong Reach Wimbledon Finals 1 in little drop shot over the net, Evonne raced up and it was love-15. Then her genius directed a forehand that curved off the sideline. Love-30. Then there was match point. Miss Evert rifled a double-hander down the line, and out of nowhere flashed Miss Goolagong to cut off the volley.

The crowd came to their feet clapping, and they were clapping still when the girls walked off court. The record-keepers say that Mrs. King has been beaten Miss Casals in 18 of their last 19 meetings. Add another. For a while there, the "Old Lady," as Rosie calls her, was at her formidable best.

Billie Jean is shrewd, intense and she mutters continually to herself as she works out her destiny. She knew what to do from memory and she remembered how to do it. Every effort was devoted to the purpose of moving herself into volleying position and once there she was magnificant. Mrs. King won the first set 6-2 and she was leading 4-1 in the second.

Then for a time there was a touch of the tremors. Little Rosie, the eternal gamin, flailed away. Up went the lobs and across court slid the little dinks. Rosie was back to 4-2, won Mrs. King's service to love for the next, reached 4-all with smash and volley and had a break point to 5-4 as Billie Jean double-faulted.

The Old Lady steadied then and hit out. She had the match, 6-2, 6-4 and now aims for her fourth Wimbledon title on Saturday. Since World War II, only Louise Brough has won four, the last in 1955 when the United States also took the men's with Tony Trabert. Stan Smith has that in mind when he meets Jan Kodes in one semifinal today; Manuel Orantes meets Ille Nastase in the other. and 15-love on service.

Then she double-faulted and hit a couple of backhands out. Two set points to Miss Evert. She steered the double-hander across court and it caught the top of the net, hung there briefly and fell back, But she had the set at 6-4 and very quickly she was at 3 -love in the second. Young Chris played to her own plan. She had been patient and she had used every inch of the court to maneuver the ball into winning positions and then bang, bang would go those ground shots into the groove.

All along, Miss Goolagong has said that her in-piration comes from trouble. She began to skim and careless. Now she shook it off. With the knife at her throat, she wriggled away. She began to skim over court on butterfly wings, fluid and fluent, darting down to flick away the easy ball and positioning herself naturally to hit outrageous winners.

Quality was on parade. In this streak Miss Goolagong took seven games running. She had the second set at 6-3 and she won a love game to be l-love in the third. And with her sunny smile she had the huge crowd captivated, willing her home. Young Chris stuck at it.

The ground shots she could hit but what she could not do was get up there to net and put the ball away. On the threshold of greatness she may be, but to cross it she must learn to volley and smash. Half a dozen times Miss Evert was forced forward and mostly she bungled. She was still in the fight, though, to lead 3-2 and she was there at 4-4, with the tension unbearable. Miss Goolagong won her service game and then there were three shots to remember.

Chris drifted a By FRED TUPPER (C) Niw York limit Newt Sirvici WIMBLEDON, ENGLAND Billie Jean King defeated Rosemary Casals Wednesday to reach her seventh final here, and then Evonnne Goolagong and Chris Evert came on court for the long-awaited meeting between the 20-year-old Australian who rose to fame by winning Wimbledon last year and the 17-year-old marvel from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. It was all it was billed to be: A wildly fluctuating match that raged over center court for 100 minutes before Evonne won, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. It was a contest between the instinctive genius and natural flair of Evonne and the imperturbable mien and copybook style of young Chris. From the beginning, you could hear the girls thinking. It was Miss Goolagong's plan to hit the short ball to Miss Evert's double-handed backhand -to slice it wide and low and give her no space to hit at, and if she did, to come careening up to net and volley it away.

It was workable in theory but Evonne was missing a lot at first and young Chris would hurry up there and bundle the ball away. Games went with service at the start and a vital break came in the sixth. In one of those interminable rallies, Evonne had forced Chris out of court and was there at net to stash the point away. To sighs, she missed. Then Miss Evert swept a double-hander across court and hit another down the line for 4-2.

Soon she was 5-2 and 30-love. She lost that game and the next one, too. The Australian is always alert to danger, and in this streak she had nine consecutive points to be 4-5 L.

One athlete at the news conference asked how many American officials will accompany the U.S. team to Munich. Buck said about 112. "How many officials do we need?" shouted the athlete. He said 477 athletes in all sports would go to Munich and added, "That's one official for every four athletes, and you can never find them when you get there because they're always out sightseeing." Buck said that wasn't the case at all and that "The American public expects that we spend this money judiciously and wisely." The news conference lasted well over two hours, with U.S.

"We don't sell the symbol. We enter into contractual agreements with firms wishing to use the symbol. In exchange for merchandise and cash, they are permitted to use it," he said. Asked how much each contract was worth, Buck said: "In excess of $25,000 each." He said that 35 such arrangements had been signed.

He said no products were being endorsed, even though some companies claim their products were chosen on the basis of merit for the U.S. team. Asked how much money the USOC had invested, Buck said, "I don't know that figure." When pressed, he admitted it was "a few million." Buck declined to answer when questioned exactly where can you expect athletes to perform at their best when they're sleeping on floors and eating 25 cent hamburgers?" Buck explained that the last two years in the USOC training camp program were very costly and that he wasn't sure that paying for athletes expenses at the trials wouldn't be a violation of International Olympic Committee rules. "I believe the rules we have can be changed by our board or directors, but that's only an opinion I'm not a lawyer." Asked about a possible conflict of interest because a director of the USOC also was a member of the firm contracted to handle travel arrangements and tickets for the Olympic Games this year, Buck said: "We felt it was advantageous to deal with one company. We accepted bids and examined them objectively." Another questioner asked 4 112 EUGENE, Ore.

(AP) Clifford Buck, chairman of the U.S. Olympic Committee, attempted to explain Wednesday how the organization spends its money. Buck opened a heated press conference by giving background information about the USOC. He said the organization would have about $9 million in funds which have been solicited for this year's Olympic team. He then fielded questions-some of which challenged the USOC to explain where the group's money went.

One question dealt with athletes who did not have enough money to pay for their own lodging and slept in friend's rooms on the floor in sleeping bags. "It is an established policy that the USOC does not pay candidates' transportation, room and board," Buck said.

Fischer's apology said, "We are sorry the world championship was delayed. The problems causing the delays were not with world champion Spassky whom I respect as a man and admire as a player. "If Grandmaster Spassky or the Soviet people were inconvenienced or discomfited, 1 am indeed unhappy, for I had not the slightest intention of this occurring." Fischer's holdout for money postponed the scheduled start of the match Sunday.

Spassky's countermoves moved the starting date to Thursday. Officials said they weren' even certain about that. They had to deal with Soviet demands Fischer be penalized for arriving two days late and Spassky declared winner of the first game. This would give Spassky a 1-0 advantage in the score at the outset of play. Chess experts said that in such a long match it was a disadvantage that Fischer could probably overcome.

The match could last as long as two months. Pittsburgh New York Chicago St Louis Montreal Philadelphia even the losings to the highest amount in any world championship chess match. The winner will get $231,250 and the loser $168,750. A few thousand dollars and prestige went to previous world champions. Spassky, the defending champion from Russia, had complained that Fischer's conduct had "insulted me personally and the country I represent." The American, in a statement prepared by his lawyers and read by Max Euwe, the president of the International Chess Federation, said he respected Spassky as a man and admired him as a chess player.

I'. tH 7 1SW 194 REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer apologized. He told Boris Spassky and the Soviet people Wednesday he was sorry if he insulted them by disrupting the world chess championship. But the word from Moscow was tough, and Thursday's scheduled start of the matches remained uncertain.
