Obscure Iowa Drivers
Lead Sunday’s Daytona
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla
(UPI) — A controversy over
illegal equipment left two
littleknown Iowa drivers
leading a 42-car field in
Sunday's 18th annual Daytona
500 at Daytona International
Speedway.
A.J. Foyt originally had the
pole locked up with a
blistering qualifying lap of
187.477 miles per hour on Feb.
8. NASCAR officials, however,
said they found some illegal
equipment on his car and
disqualified his run. Dave
Marcis, Wausau, Wis. and
Darrell Waltrip, Franklin,
Tenn., were also discovered to
be allegedly racing with
illegal equipment and, like
Foyt, their 186 mph plus
speeds were not allowed.
All three, however, were
permitted to try again during
Thursday’s two 125-mile
qualifying heats which set
positions 3-42
The order of finish in the
first race line up behind Ramo
Stott, sitting on the inside pole,
and the order of finish in the
second race lines up behind
outside pole sitter, Terry
Ryan.
That puts four Chevys, two
Dodges, a Ford and a Mercury
in the top 10 starting positions.
"Stock Car King" Richard
Petty, who won his Sixth
Grand National Winston Cup
Championship last year, will
be in starting slot six just
behind the Ford of Buddv
Baker
Petty was edged from the
No. 4 spot in the second heat
Thursday by Waltrip. whose
winning margin was 23
seconds.
In the first race, it was
Marcis beating out Buddy
Baker's last-minute challenge
to grab the No. 3 spot by less
than one car length.
Benny Parsons was the
surprise winner of last year's
Daytona 500 and while he will
be starting directly behind
Foyt, who is 31st, he is looking
to become only the second
driver ever to win the Daytona
500 more than once. Petty has
won it five times
Cale Yarborough holds the
Daytona 500 qualifying
record, set in 1970, of 194.015
mph. The veteran Tim-
monsville, S.C. driver starts
14th this year, managing only
183.726 mph in his efforts to
grab the pole
First place prize money,
already more than $342,000,
should be close to $350,000
when they start, making it the
richest Daytona 500 race.

INNSBRUCK (UPI) - A
day which started out full of
hope ended sadly for the
United States in the Winter
Olympics Saturday when its
hockey team was upset by
West Germany, 4-1, for the
bronze medal and Bill Koch
blew a halfw ay lead in the 50-
kilometer Nordic cross-
country and finished a
disappointing 13th.
About the only consolation
for the U.S. on the next-to-last
day of the Winter Games was
a third place finish in the
Olympic Alpine Combined by
Greg Jones of Tahoe City,
Calif But they don't award
Olympic medals for the Com-
bined, although the 21-year-
old Jones did receive a FIS
(World Ski Federation)
bronze medal.
All Olympic medalists
receive FIS awards as well
because the Games double as
a world ski championship. FIS
stages its own meeting in the
middle of the four-year
Olympic cycle
Elsewhere it was a tale of
woe for the U.S. In addition to
the failures of the hockey
team and Koch, the men s
slalom racers could not finish
among the top 10. the four-
man bobsled team finished
well out of the medals and Dan
Carroll failed to make the top
six in the 10,000-meter speed
skating.
The day had started so well,
with the memory of Dorothy
Hamill's figure skating vic-
tory still fresh in the mind.
There was optimism the
hockey team would win a
bronze and that Koch, racing
in only his second
"marathon," would add a
second medal to the silver he
won in the 30-kilometer.
But with a driving snow
making conditions difficult at
all the competition venues, the
U.S. came up empty handed
The most disheartening set-
back of the day was that
suffered by the hockey team
For the first time in the round-
robin tournament the U.S.
squad was favored, but a
hulking forward named Erich
Kuehnhackl proved too much
for the Americans to handle
The (Yech-born Kuehnhackl, a
6-foot-4, 210-pounder, scored
one goal and assisted on three
others in pacing West Ger-
many to a surprising victory
The U.S. got within a goal
when Buzz Schneider scored
on a breakaway at 4:15 of the
third period, but then the team
suddenly collapsed and six
months of preparation, includ-
ing mure than 60 games
against the top amateur cluhs
in the world, went to waste
Gros Takes
Alpine Win
AXAMER I.IZUM, Austria
(UPIi — Former World Cup
champion Piero Gros defeated
his Italian teammate and arch
rival Gustavo Thoem in the
slalom Saturday to win the
last gold medal of the Alpine
Olympics skiing on an icy
track in a snowstorm.
America's best showing was
13th place by Cary Adgate, 22.
of Boyne City, Mich., but Greg
Jones's 19th place was good
enough to give the 21-year-old
skier from Tahoe, City., Calif.,
third place in the Alpine
combined standings — which
counts as a world cham-
pionship bronze medal but not
an Olympic one.
Bob Johnson, coach of the
U S. squad, was pleased with
his team's play in the final
game despite the outcome.
“I'm extremely proud of our
team We had a great week
and we were skating as hard
in the last minute as we did in
the first We lost, but it may
have been our finest game
The harder we worked the
unluckier we got," said
Johnson
Had they won, the U.S.
would have taken the bronze
medal But the loss left West
(iermany, Finland and the
U.S. with identical 2-3 records
The West Germans were
awarded the bronze medal on
goal difference in matches
played between the three
teams, 7-6 to America's 6-8
It was inexperience that
cost the 20-year-old Koch a
medal in the 50-kilometer
race. Not used to the long (31-
mile i distance. Koch set a
torrid pace at the beginning,
instead of pacing himself, and
had nothing left at the end.
"I think he pushed too hard
at the beginning,'' said Assist-
ant Coach Bob Kiesel

Dorothy’s Blades Uncover Icy Gold
INNSBRUCK, Austria (UPI) — Dorothy Hamill shed a few
tears Friday night, went out and won the Olympic figure
skating championship, then shed a few more tears.
When she came exit for a warmup prior to her free skating
program, Hamill’s supporters cheered wildly and waved
banners.
After her brilliant exhibition, Dorothy said, "I was so
nervous, I didn’t want to let them down." She said she cried
before and after her performance
Her performance was brilliant and when the five minutes
of skating was concluded, the house rose to acclaim her the
new figure skating queen.
They showered her with bouquets—two dozen bouquets in
all. They came fluttering down from the stands where some
fans had paid scalpers $100 for a seat.
Then, for professional promoters, Hamill had a message.
"I want to give something back. I would like to teach blind
chiltfren how to skate. I would like to help people who aren't
as fortunate as I am."
However, Dianne de Leeuw, the world champion who won
the silver medal behind Hamill, wants to turn professional.
“I’d like to turn professional and skate in a show for a few
years,” said the resident of Paramount, Calif., who skated
for the Netherlands.
Dorothy scored e perfect 9.0 ordinals (judges first place
marks) from the nine officials and gained a total 193.80 points
in the three-phaee competition.
De Leeuw, 10, who trailed Dorothy Uroughout the compe-
tition, finished with 30.0-190.34, while East Germany’s
Christine Errath, the 1974 world champion, was third with 28-
18.16.
Wendy Burge of Lds Angeles finished sixth in the field of 20
and Linda Fratlanne of Nortlridge, Calif., was eighth
While Hamill’s victory was expected Friday, that of 18-
year-oid Canadian Kathy Kreiner in the women’s giant
slalom had to be one of the big upafts of the games
In winning the gold medal, Kreiner defeated Rosi Mitter-
maier of West Germany by IMOOths of a second to ruin
Rosi’s bid to become the first woman to win the Triple Crown
of Alpine skiing at an Olympics.
Jan Egll S tor holt of Norway celebrated his 27th birthday by
