British Predict Victory in War Agoinst Drugs Used by Athletes 'LONDON (AP) Victory in the war against anabolic steroids illegql drugs by which athletes build up their bodies is within sight, according to the British. British scientists say they now can detect when an athlete has been using the outlawed "bulk bombs." Dr. Roger Bannister, chairman of the British Sports Council, said the problem should be under control before the 1976 Olympics. A group of British scientists, after three years of research, has devised what it claims is a new and sure way of testing athletes for "bombs." Some sports writers told about the new anti-doping discoveries at a news conference Wednesday, were skeptical. They wanted to know aboui the time lag.

If an athlete take; steroids in training, then stops before a big meet, how long will he remain open to dliscoy- ery? Bannister wouldn't say. Noi Professor Raymond Brooks', leader of the research group. Bannister said: "One way to frighten the athlete would be to have snap checks without warning of periodic intervals, not only when an athlete is competing but also during his training. "This is not beyond the competence of international federa- tons in East Germany, Russia and the United States, where there is the greatest area of abuse." Passing Might Be Byword When Lions Take On 49ers DETROIT (AP) Passing might be the byword Sunday when San Francisco's 49ers face the Detroit Lions. The 49ers are not generally considered a running team and although the Lions are skillful on the ground, quarterback Bill Munson is expected to be calling the signals.

He lacks Greg Landry's scrambling ability and holds or shares two club passing records. The 49ers should field a trio of capable receivers, including Gene Washington, Danny Abramowicz and Ted Kwalick. And while linebacker Mike Lucci is expected to be back Eagles' Linebacker Is on Inactive List RHILADELPHIA A -Rookie linebacker Fred Abbott has been placed on the inactive list of the National Football League Philadelphia Eagles. The club said Wednesday that Abbott, a graduate of the University of Florida, was recently waived by the Miami Dolphins, where he was on their inactive list. He was a sixth-round draft choice of the Minnesota Vikings this year.

Expected to be in better shape after recent painful efforts are flanker Abramowicz and cornerback Jimmy Johnson. Coach Dick Nolan has not said whether John Brodie or Steve Spurrier will start at quarterback. Spurrier has started the 49ers last three games as Brodie retiring at the end of the season. Spurrier, however, has not been able to push the team as well as San Francisco fans would like while Brodie put 31 points on the board in 14 minutes in a relief effort two weeks ago and bailed Spurrier out again last week against Atlanta. The 49ers are 3-4; the Lions 2-4-1.

UWM Might Drop Football MILWAUKEE (AP) --The future of the football program at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is in doubt because of budget cuts, Athletic Director Tom Rosandich said Wednesday. "The governor's slashing of athletic budgets puts football and perhaps other athletics in jeopardy at all schools in the state university system," Rosandich said. "In our case it amounts to a loss of $70,000." Rosandich said the intramural program will not be affected, and that a reduction or discontinuation of minor or non-profit sports would mean a saving of no more than $40,000. "And since basketball possibilities are limited because we have no place to play with adequate seating facilities, football faces a doubtful future," Rosandich said.

But suppose international sports fderations demand periodic checks on athletes training behind the Iron Curtain? How can they be sure tests are carried out fairly? Jim Manning, one of Britain's leading sports writers, said: "I fear that in the end everything will depend on the honesty of nations and of national sports associations. "We know from bitter experience that one-half of the world cheats more than the other half. "It seems to me inevitable that keeping athletic medcal records mandatorily will put honest nations at an even greater disadvantage compared with- dishonest nations than they are at present." If the claims of the British research group are true, it is a massive breakthrough for the cause of honesty in sports. Until now, anabolec steroids have been outside of scientific detection. An athlete could take them until the day before competing, and nobody knew.

Many sports observers be lieve the sharp rise in athletic performance over the last 20 years has been helped by bombs" that could not be detected. Manning, commenting on what he called "The Steroid Era, 1952 to 1972," said there had been improvements of 19 to 27 per cent in men's throwing and 25 to 37 per cent in women's throwing at the Olympics. Admitting there had been big advances in physical preparation and technique, Manning added: "But there is still room for attribution of the substantial improvement to bulk bombs. Certainly athletes themselves believe it, and the huge, often grotesque, appearance of some athletes seem due to factors other than being born that way." Cowboys Take Offense Lead NEW YORK (AP)--The Los Angeles Rams, shackled last week by Minnesota in their 10-9 to the unbeaten Vikings, fell from first to third in Na- ional Conference total team offense, National Football League statistics showed today. The Dallas Cowboys, despite Deing upset by Philadelphia, moved up from second to first and the Eagles edged from third to second in the NFC The Rams, however, remained the conference's most potent rushing team and the St.

Louis Cardinals, behind. Jim Hart's four-touchdown performance last Sunday against the Mew York Giants, stayed on top in NFC passing. In NFC defense, the Rams remained No. 1 both in total defense and in stopping the rush. The 'Atlanta Falcons continued to be the best against the pass.

(AP) Detroit Tiger pitcher Mickey Lolich has appeared in only one World Series but now he has two series rings.

Lolich said Kansas City police told him Tuesday that they found his original ring, which was stolen during a game against the Royals in 1971, in the pocket of a man being searched as a rape suspect. Lolich said although there was a case for valuables at the park he kept rings in his pocket for convenience. "Actually, it's pretty safe in there in the locker room," Lolich said. After the theft, he had another ring made up to commemorate his three victories in World Series against at, i-ouis. "I wonder if this means I'll have to give one back to the insurance company," Lolich joked.

IRONWOOD 932-4400 Hockey Roundup Coach Getting Fed Up With Stars By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Minnesota North Stars are in a rut and Coach Jack Gordon is getting fed. up.

"When you're outshot 14-4 in the first period," grumbled after Wednesday night's 5-0 loss to the Boston Bruins. "It shows me some- tiling a lack of desire-" The stars also have a lack of victories. Minnesota, the Na- tonal Hockey League's only winless club, has gone to the post 11 times this year and come away with five losses and six ties. "It was a disgrace," continued Gordon. "If you're not in shape physically, you're not mentally prepared." Gordon promptly announced two-a-day workouts, starting Thursday.

In other NHL games, the Buffalo Sabres beat the California Golden Seals 3-2 and the Pittsburgh Penguins skated to a 1-1 tie with the Montreal Cana- diens. In the World Hockey-Association, the Cleveland Crusaders trimmed the Winnipeg Jets 6-4 and the Quebec Nordiques dumped! the Vancouver Blazers 5-1. Gordon cited the play of goalie Cesar Maniago as one of the few bright spots for his team. "If Cesar didn't make all those bloody saves, they would have hit double figures," said the coach. Sabres 3, Seals 2 Rick Martin scored all three Buffalo goals and California managed just 19 shots on goal, only four of them in the first period.

The Sabres were making their first appearance since losing star center Gil Perreault Sunday with a broken leg.

Her car, containing her new shoes, old shoes and purse, was found two days later in a remote area of Washtenaw County.

Her father, George Postif, is a member of the member Teamsters local. The donation brings the total reward being offered for information about the girl to $5,000. The Detroit News has posted $2,000 for information gained through its "secret witness" program and an unidentified private citizen contributed $1,000. nsdiens' Coach Scolly Bowman was unhappy with his team's performance but he was really angry with referee Wally Harris. "This guy is a lousy referee.

He's afraid to give a penalty in this building," declared Bowman, spreaking of the Montreal Forum. "I'll bet you that over the past four or five years, he hasn't called more than four or five penalties a game here." Crusaders 6, Jets 4 Cleveland's Jim Wiste broke a 4-4 tie with a power-play goal from 15 feet out in the final period, and Wayne Hillman added an 80-footer into an open net with just 22 seconds left. Nordiques 5, Blazers 1 a Gilbert, Rejean Houle and Alain Caron notched first-period! goals and Quebec coasted to its eighth win against four losses and no ties.
