I went Into the game with that kind of Chinaglia scored the game's first goal on a penalty kick 28:10 into the match. The penalty was called when striker Ar-gene Auguste tackled Seninho from as he moved the ball down the right side. Strikers coach Eckhard Krautzun was bitter over the call. "My players were very upset," Krautzun said.

"The Cosmos can be beaten if you score the first goal against them, and that was our strategy. "It leaves a bad taste behind because of that kind of officiating." The Strikers missed an opportunity to even the score late in the first half when a shot by Segota was deflected at Ihe goalline by Cosmos defender Jeff Dur-gan. "The turning point was when Bran-ko's shot was cleared by Durgan. It would have been a 1-1 ball game. Then, once Chinaglia scored his second goal, the match was over.

It's almost impossible to beat the Cosmos when they are two goals ahead." Chinaglia netted his second goal, a 10-yarder that flew past Striker goalkeeper Jan Van Beveran, at 57:00 on a pass from Romero. Less than three minutes later, Romero found his scoring opportunity on a cross kick from Steve Wegerle, the Cosmos fleet South African winger. Segota's goal, a sailing kick from 25 yards, ended the scoring at 70:40. A crowd of 31,172 watched the semifinal playoff match. In Chicago, Karl-Heinz Granitza scored both goals for the Sting.

All three goals were scored in a wide-open first half. The Sockers struck first, with Jean Willrich scoring in the ninth minute. Granitza tied it at 10:02 and scored the winner at 25:01 in front of a crowd of 21,760. By The Canadian Press Giorgio Chinaglia scored three goals Wednesday night to dispel his fear of an old jinx while sending the Cosmos to their fourth Soccer Bowl in five years. "Usually, after a big award, you don't play too well," said Chinaglia after helping the Cosmos to a 4-1 victory over Fort Lauderdale Strikers and a sweep of their best-of-three North American Soccer League semi-final.

"I was concerned when I didn't touch the ball for the first 10 minutes." Chinaglia's goals, which brought his all-time playoff scoring mark to a league-leading 44, came one day after he was voted most valuable player in balloting by all NASL players. The award had been the one honor that eluded Chinaglia through his sensational six-year Cosmos' career. New York's other goal was scored by Julio Romero, like Chinaglia a member of the Paraguayan national team. Fort Lauderdale's only goal in the game at East Rutherford, N.J., came on a free kick by forward Branko Segota, his 11th of the playoffs. The Cosmos will meet the winner of the Chicago Sting-San Diego Sockers series, now tied at one game each, at Soccer Bowl '81, Sept.

26 in Toronto. Chicago beat San Diego 2-1 Wednesday night. Romero, hampered by assorted injuries all season after a sterling rookie year, said he came out in the second half determined to end the season at Giants Stadium on a high note. "The coach talked to me about 20 minutes into the first half and told me to watch the game carefully because 1 was going to play," said Romero. "I was sitting out because 1 pulled a muscle slightly.

"When I went onto the field, I felt I would score a goal. I was full of confidence. Sometimes a player has a feeling mi Lou Nanne (left) and Bill Torrey watch as John Ziegler tosses the puck Goalies getting trophy TORONTO (CP) The Prince of Wales Conference champions will have home-ice advantage in 1982 in the best-of-seven Stanley Cup final against the Clarence Campbell Conference winners, a puck toss by president John Ziegler of the National Hockey League determined Wednesday. Ziegler also oversaw the tossing of coins to decide home-ice advantages in the conference finals under the new playoff format in effect next spring. The Patrick Division winners will have the extra game in any seven-game series against the Adams Division titlists, and the Norris Division gets the extra game against the Smythe Division.

Home-ice advantage will alternate in succeeding years, Ziegler said at the proceedings, which followed an NHL board of governors meeting. Under the NHL's realignment, the Adams Division, comprising Montreal Canadiens. Quebec Nordiques, Boston Bruins, Hartford Whalers and Buffalo Sabres, and the Patrick Division, consisting of New York Islanders, New York Rangers, Philadelphia Flyers, Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins, will make up the Wales conference. The Norris Division, of Toronto Maple Leafs, Winnipeg Jets, Minnesota North Stars, St. Louis Blues, Chicago Black Hawks and Detroit Red Wings, and the Smythe Division, with Vancouver Canucks, Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames, Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Kings, form the Campbell Conference.

Division semi-finals will pit the first-place club against the fourth-place team in each group, while the second- and third-place teams meet. The survivors of those best-of-five series then will meet in best-of-seven division finals, with the home-ice advantage in both stages of the division playoffs to be based on regular-season points. The division winners will meet in best-of-seven series for the conference championships and the winners there for the Stanley Cup. Representing the various divisions in the coin-tossing were Pittsburgh governor John Pickett, Quebec president Marcel Aubut, Toronto owner Harold Ballard and Calgary general manager Cliff Fletcher. General managers Bill Torrey of the Islanders and Lou Nanne of Minnesota, the 1981 Cup finalists, verified Ziegler's tossing of a specially-marked puck to determine home-ice advantage in the final series.

TORONTO (CP) The National Hockey League will institute a new goal-tenders' trophy in the coming season, trying to clear up some of the confusion that has resulted from the multiple-goalie system, president 'John Ziegler announced Wednesday. Ziegler said the new trophy, still to be named, will be awarded as the Vezina Trophy has been going "to the goalkeepers) having played a minimum 25 games for the team with the fewest goals scored against it." The Vezina now will be awarded to the goalie judged either most valuable to his team or outstanding in the league, Ziegler said. The precise definition and method of selection have yet to be decided, probably at another meeting at Palm Beach, in December. "The Vezina originally was awarded to one goalkeeper because only one was used," Ziegler said after an NHL board of governors meeting. "Now, with two or more goalies being carried by each club, we need another system.

"The Vezina had been considered an individual award until recent years and Five NASL teams out will remain so, but the goaltenders who have won it have considered it to be team recognition, and we want to continue that with a new one." Terry Sawchuk and Johnny Bower of Toronto Maple Leafs were the first net-minders to share the award, for the 1964-65 season. Last year, three shared it for the first time, as Montreal Canadiens' Richard Sevigny, Denis Herron and Michel Larocque who was with Toronto by season's end all met the qualification of 25 games. Herron saw action in the last minute or so of several late-season games to meet the minimum requirement, but that loophole remains. Ziegler said the governors also agreed to amend a resolution passed in June that there be no brand-name identification on equipment used in NHL games unless the manufacturer reaches agreement with the league and pays for what it considers advertising. Part of that resolution called for the manufacturers to supply such equipment free, but that has been dropped after an outcry from the manufacturers.

"We found that supplying free equipment to us was a much greater burden on the industry than we expected," admitted Ziegler, who said the league will put the newly-amended resolution into effect Jan. 15, after which any brand in-dentification on sticks, pants or other gear will have to be removed or covered up unless a payment is negotiated. He said that would not affect players' endorsement contracts but that "if players have sold their branded use of equipment in games to the manufacturers, they have sold something that isn't theirs, and I know of no jurisprudence that says you can have something sim- The Washington franchise moved from Detroit, where the team had been known as the Express, only a few weeks before the 1981 season. It finished at 15-17 and out of the playoffs. The Chiefs, originally Colorado Caribou before being moved to Atlanta, won the Southern Division with a 17-15 record but were knocked out of the playoffs in the first round by Jacksonville.

And Dallas, an original NASL franchise in 1968, had the league's worst record in 1981, 5-27. Before 1968, the Tornado franchise was a part of the United Soccer Association. Each of that league's teams was in reality an entire foreign club transplanted to the United States. In Dallas' case it was Dundee United of Scotland. In 1968 the USA and National Professional Soccer League merged to form the NASL.

ply by taking it." "We have informed the NHL Players' Association that this is a management right," he said. The status of negotiations with the NHLPA toward a new collective bargaining agreement was reviewed by the governors and it was expected the owners and players will meet again before the start of the regular season on Oct. 6. Free-agent compensation is the major stumbling block in the negotiations, with the players having sought outright free agency and the owners having proposed compensation in the form of players or draft choices as is the case now. Ziegler said he didn't believe any professional league could survive total free agency "unless perhaps if every team shared equally in the profits and losses, but at that point you get into a question of the integrity of the sport." He said the NHLPA "has probably achieved more for its players than any other association In terms of insurance, pension, per diem, playoff award money and salary, which averaged $108,000 last year." "The expiration date of the agreement is Sept.

15, 1982, anyway, and there's still some time to go before that, and on this issue we'll go to the 11th hour if necessary." The board also passed unanimously a resolution paying tribute to Bill Jennings, former governor for New York Rangers, who died last month. It recognized his service to the Rangers, the NHL and hockey. The Rangers still are "examining all their options" with respect to a new agreement with Madison Square Garden Ziegler said, which has kept the possibility of expansion to the new Meadowlands facility at East Rutherford, N.J., on hold. The Rangers have included a move there among their choices. The waiver draft will be held Oct.

5, the day before the season opens, with protected lists of 18 skaters and two goaltenders to be submitted by each team by noon EDT on Oct. 2. First-year professional skaters and goalies with three or fewer years of professional experience will be exempt from the draft, to be conducted by telephone conference call from the NHL's Montreal office. Berry lays down law NEW YORK (AP) Five North American Soccer League franchises Atlanta Chiefs, California Surf, Calgary Boomers, Dallas Tornado and Washington Diplomats failed to post $150,000 bonds to the league by midnight Tuesday night. But commissioner Phil Woosnam said Wednesday 16 clubs had posted bonds to operate in 1982.

Atlanta, California and Calgary have officially folded. Dallas is attempting to merge with another exist- ing franchise and the Washington owners are trying to sell the franchise. A sixth franchise, Jacksonville Tea Men, was rescued Tuesday for the time being when owners agreed to post the required bond. The NASL operated during the 1981 outdoor season with 21 teams. The league previously said Fort Lauderdale Strikers, one of the 16 teams to post the bond, would not participate in the 1981- 82 indoor season because of the lack of a suitable facility.

An NASL statement said the five clubs that did not post bonds "have the right to negotiate the sale of their franchise and present such potential new ownership to the NASL owners at a league meeting in Toronto on Sept. 27," the day after the championship game. The California franchise moved to Orange County from St. Louis in 1977 and played its games in Anaheim, Calif. The Surf was 11-21 this season, failing to make the playoffs.

The Calgary franchise had operated as Memphis Rogues in 1980. In 1981 the Boomers were 17-15. then lost to Fort Lauderdale in the playoffs. Rangers lose lounge. The nicotine ban comes as somewhat of a shocker for veterans such as Guy Lafleur, Pierre Larouche and Yvon Lambert, all of whom like to take a few drags before heading home after games and pratices.

The sixth commandment says all players must weigh in before and after practice and the seventh says no equipment shall be taken from the dressing room without permission. The other laws are of little interest to the general public but include keeping the dressing room free of relatives, friends, celebrities, player agents, restaurant owners and the like. Under Ruel's regime, the team's dressing room often looked like Peel and Ste. Catherine streets at noon hour. Players will also face a $100 fine if they are late for games, workouts, team meetings, buses, airplanes, trains or when they are representing the team at social functions.

MONTREAL (CP) Disciplinarian Bob Berry makes his coaching debut with the Canadiens tonight when they meet Chicago 31ack Hawks and although Montreal's training camp opened only four days ago, the effects of his no-nonsense philosophy are already being felt among veterans and rookies alike. Berry, a native Montrealer who resigned last spring as head coach of Los Angeles Kings and was promptly appointed to lead the National Hockey League Canadiens out of the wilderness, has established strict commandments for his players. His predecessor, Claude Ruel, was never able to keep a tight rein on the club and the ultimate result was an embarrassing elimination by Edmonton Oilers in last season's preliminary-round playoff.

New York Rangers were defeated 4-1 by IFK of Helsinki on Wednesday night. It was the first time a Finnish club team has played an NHL club. The Rangers started slowly but took a 1-0 lead 17 minutes into the first period on a goal by Mike Allison, assisted by Eddie Johnstone. In the second period, IFK, 1980 Finnish champions and playoff semi-finalist last year, took advantage of penalties for a 4-1 lead.
