16 Brattleboro Reformer Friday, November 4, 1988 Dan Goldie stuns Wilander SCOREBOARD NFL STANDINGS NBA STANDINGS National Basketball Association Standings By The Associated Pres All Times EST EASTERN CONFERENCE Natisnal Football League Staadiagi By The Associated Press AH Time EST AMERICAN CONFERENCE East STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) -American Dan Goldie eliminate top-seeded Mats Wilander, the worlds No, 1 player, 6-1, 6-4 Thursday night to reach the quarterfinals of the $642,500 Stockholm Open-Scandinavian tennis championships. It was Wilanders first loss since the Sept. 11 U.S. Open triumph over Ivan Lendl, when hie passed Lendl to take over the No. 1 ranking.

But Wilander had only played one tournament, at Palermo, Italy, since the final Grand Slam event of the year nearly two months ago. He (Goldie) served so well and pressured me, Wilander said. I Tennis Roundup didnt get a very good start. I never found any rhythm. Wilander, who also won the Australian and French Open titles this year, became the second of the two top seeds to be eliminated early.

Unseeded Italian Paolo Cane eliminated Wimbledon champion and No. 2 seed Stefan Edberg of Sweden in the second round Tuesday. For Wilander, it was also his second loss to Goldie in 13 months. The American beat him, also in straight sets, at Scottsdale, in their first-ever meeting last year. Goldie, ranked 36th in the world before the Stockholm Open, said switching rackets earlier in the week made a big difference.

I switched to another model just three or four days ago and it made me excited, beamed Goldie, a 25-year-old from McLean, Va. It has improved my game so much. I think I really played well today. Goldie, a former All-American at Stanford, was never broken by the top-seeded Swede. In the quarterfinals, Goldie will play clay-court specialist Emilio Sanchez of Spain.

Lendl upset victim, too ANTWERP, Belgium (AP) Top-seeded Ivan Lendl, playing his first match following minor shoulder surgery, was routed 6-2, 6-2 Thursday by Israels Amos Mansdorf in their second-round match at the $1 million European Community Championship. In another upset. West German Ricki Osterthun, ranked 97th in the world, beat third-seeded Henri Leconte of France 7-6 (7-4), 4-6, 6-3. In other second-round matches, John McEnroe outplayed Michiel Schapers of the Netherlands 6-4, 6-2 and Andres Gomez of Ecuador struggled past Czech Tomas Smid 3-6, 6-1, 6-3 to reach Fridays In his first competitive match in almost two months following an operation to treat a nagging shoulder injury, Lendl, the defending champion, lost his first service game on three unforced errors qfifca double fault, to the dismay trne crowd at the Sports Palace. Mansdorf, who won last weeks Paris Grand Prix, the richest indoor tennis event, capitalized on every opportunity, served well and passed Lendl when he tried to come to the net.

It is my mind and my body. I am not quick enough yet, said Lendl. McEnroe will face fourth-seeded Guillermo Perez-Roldan of Argentina in Fridays quarterfinals. U.S. leads Wig'htman LONDON (AP) Zina Garrison and Patty Fendick overwhelmed their British opponents to give the United States a 2-0 lead in the 60th Wightman Cup tournament Thursday.

Garrison, watched by Queen Elizabeth II in majestic Royal Albert Hall, opened defense of the trophy with a 6-2, 64 victory over Jo Durie. After the queen had left, Fendick hammered fellow Californian Monique Javer, who plays for Britain by virtue of her British mother, 6-2, 6-1. The British team, far weaker on paper than the visiting U.S. squad, needed a good start and at least one upset to boost its confidence for the best-of-seven match series that runs through Saturday. But neither Durie nor Javer were able to trouble their opponents in the dignified atmosphere of the Victorian arena in central London.

Garrison, her teams No. 1 player, took 70 minutes to beat Durie, gaining revenge for a loss in last years Cup. Navratilova easy winner WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) Top-seeded Martina Navratilova routed 17-year-old Susan Sloane in straight sets Thursday while two other seeds fell in the $300,000 New England Virginia Slims tournament. Navratilova needed just 58 minutes to beat Sloane, of Lexington, 6-1, 6-2 to move into the quarterfinals of the week-long tournament at the Centrum.

Second-seeded Chris Evert struggled and came from behind to outlast Gretchen Magers 7-5, 16, 76 (64) in a 2 hour 32 minute match. Evert, 33, reeled off five straight games to close out the first set, and came back from a 1-3 deficit in the final set. Doubts raised over proposed new men 9s tour LONDON (AP) The war of words between tennis tournament organizers and the worlds leading players continued Thursday with Marshall Happer, administrator of the Mens Tennis Council, saying he did not think the players could put together a credible, alternative tour in 1990. Happers view was echoed by Philippe Chatrier, president of the sports ruling body, the International Tennis Federation. Chatrier said he doubted that the new tour proposed by the Association of Tennis Professionals would get the support of the major tournaments.

The ATP, which includes most of the worlds leading players, is planning to break away from the existing Grand Prix format and run its own tournament circuit in 1990. The directors of the worlds leading tournaments, including the Wimbledon, United States, French and Australian Open events that make up the Grand Slam, are scheduled to meet at the Masters Tournament in New York next month to discuss the situation. The tournaments will have two options, Happer said. One is to run in the Grand Prix in a circuit administered by the Mens Council. The other is to be on the ATP Circuit where ATP will make all the relevant decisions.

I do not think that ATP can put together a credible circuit if the Grand Slams and most of the major tournaments decide to stay in ttie Grand Prix. Chatrier said it is by no means certain that the ATP would gain the support of the worlds major tournaments. We are still waiting to see what the tournament directors will do, he said. Whether they will go under the ATP or whether they will ask to be protected (by thelTF). He said the North American and European tournament directors would be meeting to discuss the crisis Nov.

11-12 and then would report back to the full Council next month. I can tell you that four official tournaments right now are very uncertain. God help them, Chatrier said. Sunday, Nov. 6 Dallas at New York Giants, 1 p.m.

I played a couple of regular season games, but they wanted me to go play for their farm team, Lane said. But I hadnt graduated from UNH yet, so I decided to go back and get my degree. After all, he was only making about $300 per game. According to Arthur OBrien, the other co-captain with Lane on the 40 BHS championship team, Lane told him years later that Jie was not flashy enough to make it in the pros. He would make a tackle and just get up, OBrien, who still lives in Brattleboro, said.

Added Rainey, You needed a little Mark Gastineau in you back then and he was a quiet kind of guy. He was a performer, not a talker. He used to let me do all the talking when we went out for the coin toss. But you knew when you called on him hed get the job done. Lane was a fine physical specimen and is still in great shape, according to Rainey, who saw Lane last year at a reunion of the 47 Glass Bowl team.

In high school Lane said he used to do 100 situps and 100 pushups every day and also ran two or three miles several times a week. Nowadays when steroids and pain killers have become as much a part of the game as picking up the blitz, OBrien recalls how Lane never even drank coffee growing up, let alone beer or alcohol. He was very proud of his strength, OBrien said. And Lane never let pain keep him off the field, OBrien added. I remember we were playing at Rutland in 40 and Clayton broke his rib.

He didnt want to get off the field and Coach (Ray) Draghetti wouldnt take him out, so I finally had to go to the referee and ask him what we could do about it, OBrien said. As the other co-captain, I finally had to pull rank on him. Lane said it seemed to be a normal thing for a football player to continue in pain. I remember I sprained my ankle very early in that Glass Bowl game and it was difficult to continue, Lane added. I couldnt even stand up between plays, but when the ball was snapped, I didnt give it any thought.

Growing up as one of nine children and having to go to work at an early age after his father died at a young age in an accident, it was football that provided Lane the opportunity to go to college. It was pretty much football that inspired me to go to college, Lane admitted. As a resident of New Hampshire, it was more financially reasonable to attend UNH than the University of Vermont, where several of his high school teammates went, including the legendary Frankie Taylor, one of the first played ever inducted into the UVM Hall of Fame. Lane returned to UNH to finish his education even after he ran out of football eligibility, and graduated along with his older brother Norris who followed him to Durham in 1950. Anything he got into, he did well, OBrien said.

He earned everything he got through hard work. Added Rainey, When I was out raising hell, he was in the library studying. In 1954 Lane returned to the Army Corps of Engineers and finally retired in 1982. One of his first assignments was to construct Pease Air Force Base in Portsmouth, N.H. UNH became a family tradition for Lane, whose wife Barbara was also a 50 grad.

Their daughter went through UNH and both his brothers sons also graduated from there. I feel very fortunate to have been able to go to UNH, Lane said. It was a tremendous thrill for me. Im really looking forward to Friday night. I cant wait to see so many of the people I knew back then.

NHL lifts suspension NEW YORK (AP) The National Hockey League on Thursday rescinded the final eight games of a 16 game suspension against Chicago defenseman David Manson, saying it could not determine whether he started a fight following a game against Vancouver. Referee Bill McCreary originally ruled that Manson instigated the fight with Canucks forward David Bruce after last Fridays game, which Vancouver won 5-2. That led to the automatic suspension of Manson, who sat out the Black-hawks next two games. Manson received a two-minute penalty for instigating, a five-minute penalty for fighting, a match penalty and a game misconduct. At the Blackhawks request, McCreary and the NHL reviewed tapes of the incident and concluded there was no clear instigator.

4 Friday, Nov. 4 Post Time 8 p.m. LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) -Thomas Hearns, promising to bring back the Hit Man of his heyday, meets James Kinchen Friday night in a fight critical to Hearns dream of getting a rematch against Sugar Ray Leonard. Leonard will be watching from ringside as Hearns tries to rebound from a shocking third-round knockout loss in June to Iran Barkley.

A victory by Hearns in the 168-pound bout could set up a possible rematch of the epic September, 1981 fight won jby Leonard in a 14th-round knockout. Two other title fights are on the card Friday night, with International Boxing Federation middleweight champion Michael Nunn defending his title for the first time against Argentinas Juan Domingo Roldan, and IBF junior middleweight champion Matthew Hilton meeting No. 1-ranked Robert Hines. Im going back to what made me the Hit Man, said Hearns, who has 38 knockouts in 48 fights. Im going out there and taking them out as soon as possible.

Kinchen, a San Diego fighter with a record of 454-2 with 32 knockouts, is a replacement for Fulgencio Obeljemias, the World Boxing Council super middlweight champion, who pulled out of the fight three weeks ago with a fractured rib. The change in opponents cost him. Hagler just totally blew it, Lalonde said. It was there for the taking. Asked if he thought the decision should have gone to Hagler, Lalonde replied, At the time, yeah.

But after watching it again, no. Talking about Leonards knockout of Hearns, Lalonde said, I think Hearns had it, but he quit. Im not taking anything away from Ray; he pulled it out both times. Leonard says Hagler never rejected rematch BOSTON (AP) Sugar Ray Leonard has denied a report that former middleweight champion Marvelous Marvin Hagler turned down a rematch, the Boston Herald said Thursday. The Boston Globe on Wednesday quoted Leonard as saying in Las Vegas, I kept badgering at him about a rematch, but he pursued a movie career.

The Herald, in a story by Georwe Kimball in Las Vegas, said that Leonard denied the report that Hagler had recently rejected the proposal. I never said anything like that, the Herald quoted Leonard as saying. When I retired (after beating Hagler), I did say that I would come out of retirement for Hagler, but that was a long time ago. Boxing Roundup Hearns a chance to earn an unprecedented fifth title something Leonard can do by winning two titles Monday night against Donny La-londe although the newly-formed World Boxing Organization says it plans to make the winner of the fight its first champion. I think its going to be a legitimate title, said the 30-year-old Hearns, the only fighter to hold titles in four different weight classes.

Anytime a man (Leonard) can go and win two titles with one fight, why cant I win one title? Lalonde says he wont repeat Hagler mistakes LAS VEGAS (AP) Marvin Hagler had Sugar Ray Leonard beaten and just totally blew it, Donny Lalonde said. He also said Thomas Hearns also would have defeated Leonard in 1981 if Hearns hadnt lost his aggressiveness in the late rounds. Lalonde, wholl defend his World Boxing Council light heavyweight title against Leonard Monday night, feels he can accomplish what Hagler and Hearns couldnt. Lalonde said Leonards courage carried him to victory in both those fights, but added, I think this time, its too much punching power for FIRST RACE, Grade 318: 1. JGs Fire Star; 2.

(AP) Lefthander Russ Cochran took advantage of ideal conditions and shot a 65 that gave him a one-stroke lead Thursday after the first round of the $600,000 Tucson Open Golf Touina-; ment. Payne Stewart, South African David Frost, Corey Pavin and Mark Calcavecchia shot 66s to tie for second place. The exceptionally low scoring is nothing unexpected, said Paviri, who flirted with a PGA Tour scoring record in his recent victory at San sons on the PGA Tour, preserved sole control of the lead with a hard-won par on the final hole. After a poor drive put him in trouble, he got up and down from 70 yards short of the green, sinking an 8-foot par putt I just seeme; to have the touch today. Everything went in, said Cochran, who played the front nine in 31 and had three consecutive birdies on that side.

The last of the three was on a 45-foot putt that broke four ways, Cochran said. Golf Roupdup Antonio. The weather is perfect. The course is in great shape. So youre going to have low scores, he said.

Everybody expects the good conditions, so theyre more aggressive. When the weathers good, the scores are low. Its as simple as that, said Pavin, who lofted a 108-yard wedge shot into the cup for an eagle-2 on his 10th hole. -hran a non-winner in six sea.
