Barber wins Senior Open title
By United Press International
PORTLAND, Ore.-Miller Barber fired a torrid round of eight-under 65 yesterday to come from behind and win the U.S. Senior Open Golf Tournament and $22.23 in first-prize money at the Portland Golf Club.
Barber's final-round score was a Senior Open tournament record, as was his final total of 2 under-par 282.
Barber birdied the second, fifth, seventh, 10th, 13th, 14th and 16th holes and one bogey, on No. 8.
Dan Sikes had a score of 262 after three rounds, while Barber. Arnold Palmer, Bob Goalby and Ken Towns had scores of 217.
The 51-year-old Barber equiled Sikes on the second hole and passed him on the third, where Sikes bogeyed the par-4 hole.
"The final round was probably one of the best rounds I've played in my life." Barber said. "Today I told myself to just let go and see what happens."
Barber became the third player to win the Senior Open title. Robert de Vienzo won the first championship in 1980, and Palmer captured it last year.
Italy on top of the World Cup
Last time was 44 years ago
By GINO STRIFPOLI
Guest Columnist
In the end, it was Italy standing on top of the world of soccer at it did 44 years ago.
It was Dino Zoff, the Italian goalender, who at 40 was the oldest player in the tournament, accepting the trophy from King Juan Carlos of Spain.
It was Paolo Rossi, the Italian striker, who was banned from soccer for his part in a bribery scandal and who sat out two years, playing his first game just two months ago, whose goal started Italy on its way.
TWO YEARS AGO more than 100 nations, including the United States, started play in the World Cup. Twenty-nine teams played Argentina and host team Spain, advanced to the World Cup finals. And yesterday, West Germany and Italy played a 90-minute match that determined who would be king of the soccer world.
It was, in its entirety, the World Cup, the only true world championship.
West Germany, which had won titles in 1954 and 1974, lost its opening game against Hungary. The team managed to squeeze into the quarterfinals by winning one game and tying another. In the quarterfinal round, West Germany edged by Spain and England to enter the semifinals.
The West Germans could manage only a 3-3 tie against France in the semifinals after 90 minutes of regulation play and 30 minutes of extra time. The game was then decided on penalty kicks, with West Germany connecting on five of six kicks, one more than France.
For both teams, it had been a rocky road to the final.
FOR ITALY, known to its fans as the Azzurri, it was even tougher.
Italy and Brazil both beat Argentina to set up their quarterfinal match. because of goal differential, Brazil needed a win to the semifinals. Italy needed a win.
It tied all three of its opening round matches, barely edging Cameroon to move into the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals, Italy was matched with defending champion Argentina and tournament favorite, Brazil.
In what was the best-played match of the tournament, Italy, boosted by Rossi's three goals, upset heavily favored Brazil to advance. It was a sensational game and the outcome was in doubt until Zoff stopped a Brazilian shot on the goal line to stop Brazil's last drive.
IN ITS SEMIFINAL match against Poland, Italy beat the Poles 2-0 on the foot and head of Rossi. Rossi, whose selection to the team by Manager Enzo Bearzot was arguably because of his suspension, scored both Italian goals.
The game was a hard-fought battle. The first half was a physical battle between two teams that looked as if they already had played their best soccer. But the second half was a fitting week international soccer tournament.
So yesterday, two national soccer teams played before 100,000 fans at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain. Tickets were being scaled at $400 for a seat in the stadium and standard tickets were being scaled at $100 apiece.
ROSSI, WHO once again ranked as a national hero, took a pass from Carlo Gentile and headed past West German goaltender Tony Schumacher to put Italy in the lead permanently. In the match, put Italy ahead 2-6 with a goal at the 65-minute mark. Alessandro Altobellie, who came on when Italian
winger Grazianzi was injured, put the ball up to the cake in a goal with nine minutes in the corner.
Paul Breinriner, the only player on the West German team who played on the championship team in 1974, scored the goal that saved the two minutes after Adolbelli's.
After Zoff received the World Cup trophy, the Italians paraded around the field carrying Zoff, Bearzot, Rossi and Tardelli on their shoulders. They were dressed in red shirts of soldier, a place they had not been since Benito Mussolini was in power.
But this was more than a soccer match. It was an international happening. In the YIP booth along with King Juan Carlos were Italian President Giuseppe Mussolini and the helmut Schmidt, and Henry Kissinger, former U.S. Secretary of State.
THE ONLY PROBLEM with the final match of the World Cup was the coverage by ABC. Televising the World Cup live for the first time to the United States work television, ABC continually interrupted play by going to commercials.
Granted, ABC had to sell advertising for the game, but they should not have interrupted the game. ESPN, which televised numerous games live during the tournament, including both semifinal games, did not show commercials during the play of the games. It was obvious that ESPN made a commitment to the World Cup that ABC was not willing to do.
TO THE ITALIAN people, who luckily did not have to watch the game on
Also, ABC's comment did not do as good a job as Bob Ley did on ESPN. Ley knew when to comment and when to let the play on the field speak for itself. He could have knowledge than his counterparts when it came to international soccer.
American television, the victory was shared by all.
The Trevi Fountain in Rome, as it had been after the victories over Poland and Brazil, was once again the center of activity. Fans draped the fountain with the red, green and white national flag and played in its cool waters. They also doused tourists, who happened near the fountain, with buckets of water. Similar scenes took place in Naples, Milan and Bologna, where many churches rang their bells in celebration.
THE VICYORI turned Italy from a slumbering country to a cheering one. An estimated 40 million of Italy's 57 million residents watched the game on television. Cities throughout the country were silent during the game, and the silence was only shattered by cheers after the Italian goals.
Tomorrow Italian team members will arrive back in Italy on the Italian president's private plane. They will be cheered, cheered by the same people as they did last season. Rossi and Zoff, the two players who led the Italian team to victory.
TRAINING WILL BEGIN almost immediately for the 1986 World Cup. Nations will pick the managers they hope will lead them to the title. But those nations must wait four years. They must accept all the criticism as the Italians have over the past eight years and should now finish by Brazil. They must play in qualifying tournaments to get to Colombia, the site of the 1984 World Cup.
But Italy does not have to qualify. As defending champion, it will automatically go to Colombia. It will reign on top in soccer world for the next four years.
The World Cup, a world happening,
and sometimes, a U.S. happening.
And then Strippi will be the Kansan Sports Entertainer during this coming fall semester.
