132-year tradition threatened in America's Cup finale today
By United Press International
NEWPORT, R.L. — If the powerful wing-keeled Australia II defeats the U.S. defender, Liberty, in the America's Cup finale today, 132 years of yacht-racing supremacy comes to an end.
Yachting's most prestigious contest has survived the introduction of the income tax and two world wars. But the confident Aussies have vowed to win again, as they sported trophy from the New York Yacht Club to a new home in Perth.
Australia II Syndicate Chairman Alan Bond has spent $16 million in four quests for the elusive prize. Although the Aussies present the most formidable opponents, the team and acute competition spawned by the "Auld Mud" is nothing new.
The 102-foot schooner America, owned by a syndicate headed by John Stevens, chief commoder of the New York Yacht Club, was awarded the Voyager of the Royal Yacht's Squadron's annual $3-mile race around the Isle of Wight, soundly
thrashing 14 of England's top racers.
After Stevens death in 1857, the America syndicate members drew up a "deed of gift" presenting the bottomless trophy nicknamed the Americas' NYYC and opened it to challenge from an organized foreign vault club.

WORLD WAR II brought the demise of the J-Boats, the graceful sailing giants that highlighted the racing of the 1930s. The outbreak of the war suspended the competition for 21 years.
After the initial race in English waters, the cup competition was held off New York until it was moved to Newport in 1830.
When the racing resumed in 1958, the J-Boats were gone and yachtmen battled aboard single-masted 12-meter yachts. The term 12-meter does not refer to any one dimension of the boat. The 12-meter rule is a complicated formula that involves the measurement of waterline length, girth around the beam, sail area, displacement and freeboard.
The New York Yacht Club has announced that if Conner wins, the next competition will be in 1987.

Dolphin defense downs KC, 14-6
The Chiefs failed to score a touchdown for the second straight game.
MIAMI — David Woodley threw a touchdown pass and Andra Franklin bulled over from 1 yard out for a second touchdown yesterday to give the Miami Dolphins a 14-6 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Dolphins improved their record to 3-1, rebounding from a 27-14 Monday night drubbing by the Los Angeles Raiders. The Chiefs, led by the No. 10 big boy, super Bowl bole after a 27-12 loss last week at Washington, fell to 13.
Nick Lowery, the chiefs' field goal kicker, provided the six points for the Chiefs yesterday and also provided the Chiefs' points in the pass to the Redskins.
A total of 12 turnovers were plagued yesterday's game, tying an NFL record. Nine of the fumbles were in the first half and seven of were in the second quarter.

Kansas State swept the Jayhawk Invitational cross country meet Saturday morning at track coach Bob Rimrock Farm north of Lawrence.
K-State sweeps Jayhawk Invitational
Sports Writer
The invitational, in its second year,
featured runners from high schools,
junior colleges and universities in 5,000
places for women and men respectively.
The K-State women did not have much trouble in their division, as four finishers in the top ten enabled them to defeat Illinois State. 30-41.
The Wildcat men's team narrowly did not win the University of Nebraska, 29-32.
An unattached runner from ISU,
Wendy Van Mierlo, won the women's
race with a time of 17:10.34. The winner
of the university men's race was
KU MEN'S and women's teams
were divided into fourth respectively,
with 73 and 50 players.
Nebraska's Wally Duffy with a time of 31:36.22
Women's coach Cliff Rovetto said his team ran well against tough competition like K-State and ISU. Each competed in nationals last year.
"We did things today that we needed to do," Roveltol said. "They all had to go out hard and see what it's like — go hard and finish."
He said the team had improved since in Wichita town and ran closer to its potency.
"We went out and got people," he said. "No one got beat at the line, so we pushed the whole way.
Sophomore Caryne Finlay, and freshmen Tracy Keith and Bette-Anne landele each ran good races for KU, he said, and added that junior Susan Glatter was sick and was unable to run well.
"THE WIND was a big factor, particularly early." Roveto said. "I was tough to run against when you were trying to go out hard.
Men's coach Bob Timmons agreed that the wind was a factor, especially on top of the hills.
Timmons though, was not as pleased with his team's performance.
Senior Tim Gundy was the only
place in the top 10 His time
is 32,44.45
Timmons said that a key to Nebraska's and K-State's high finish in the race was that the teams stayed together when running, something his squad needs to work on.
or I just put it in my phone.
"I was disappointed." Timmons said.
"We tried hard, but I'm not sure we really competed.
"It's obvious that K-State and Nebraska ran well and looked good. We didn't," he said. "We need to sit down and think these things out."
