Heiden wins third gold in l,000-metei5ie
United Press International
LAKE PLACID, N.Y. — Eric
Heiden added the third notch to his
gold medal belt Tuesday, winning
the men s 1,000-meter speed skating
event in an Olympic record time of
1:15.18 and giving the United States
its fifth medal of the Winter Olym
pics.
All five American medals — three
golds by Heiden and two by Leah
Poulos Mueller — have come in
speed skating.
With a brisk wind blowing and the
temperature a mild 30 degrees,
Heiden, a pre-med student from
Madison, Wis., went off first, paired
with Canada’s Gaetan Boucher.
Under the urging of the Olympic
Oval crowd chanting, “Eric, Eric ”,
Heiden took a step closer to an un
precedented five gold medals in
Winter Olympic competition. He
goes after No. 4 Thursday in the
1,500-meter. )
Boucher finished in 1:16.68 to win
the silver medal. Erode Roenning of
Norway and Vladimir Lobanov of the
Soviet Union tied for the bronze
medal at 1:16.91.
Leah Mueller’s husband, Peter,
who won the event in the 1976
Olympics at Innsbruck, finished fifth
in 1:17.11. Mueller was paired with
Soviet Sergei Khlebnikov, who was
considered a factor coming in, but
was a disappointment at 1:17.96.
Craig Kressler of Midland, Mich.,
the other American in the field,
finished well behind at 1:18.37.
Boucher, 22, of Charlesbourg,
Quebec, has had the misfortune of
living during Heiden’s reign of pow
er skating. He has won virtually ev
ery 1,000-meter silver medal speed
skating has to offer this season —
regularly finishing about one second
behind Heiden.
Heiden, 21, has said all along he
isn’t all that concerned about win
ning the five golds.
“To tell you the truth, when peo
ple say that (he’ll win five golds), it
goes in one ear and out the other
ear,” he said. “The big thing for me is
that I want to skate well. And if I feel
I’ve given 100 percent and some
body beats me, I’m still happy with
that because there’s nothing I can
do. He’s the better skater.
“If I win and I felt I haven’t done
my best, I’d be pretty bummed out. ”
Heiden has thus far been the
brightest spot in an otherwise dismal
American effort at the Winter
Games. Prior to Tuesday, he had
already won the 500-meter sprint
and shattered the record in the
5,000-meter by more than 20
seconds. He is favored to win the
1,500 Thursday and the 10,000 tations,
Saturday.
Heiden’s three medals give him
more Olympic golds than any Amer
ican speed skater since the 1932
Games and he is the individual lead
er in the Games this year.
His fans, which include many
young females, cheer loudly for him
on every lap and the American flags
seem to wave more enthusiastically
when he competes. If he is ex
periencing any added pressure be

Okies lose bid
on gridders
United Press International
Oklahoma and Oklahoma State
have apparently lost their respective
bids to sign Tulsa All-American line
backer Jeff Leiding, who has
announced he will attend the Uni
versity of Texas.
Leiding announced on a Tulsa
television station late Tuesday he
would sign with the Longhorns.
Wednesday is the day bigh school
seniors are to sign binding national
letters of intent to play football.
Youngstown, Ohio, quarterback
Dan Cavanaugh has indicated he has
vetoed the possibility of playing foot
ball in Oklahoma and will sign with
Pittsburgh, the Oklahoma Journal
reported.
Another top player, Jerome Led
better of Muskogee, is reported to
still be considering the University of
Texas, the Journal said.
Coweta tight end Ricky Bryan and
Ardmore linebacker Thomas Benson
reportedly have narrowed their
choices to OU and OSU. Stillwater
linebacker Jackie Shipp said he will
announce today whether he will
attend OU or UCLA.
Pirate debates
Astro trade
United Press International
HOUSTON — Bill Robinson will
remain a Pittsburgh Pirate unless he
wants to play for the Houston Astros
under the terms of his present Pi
rates contract, according to Astros’
President Tal Smith.
Both Smith and Robinson, the
righthanded slugger who believes he
can start at first base for the Astros,
appear willing to make the trade that
would send pitcher Joaquin Andujar
to the Pirates.
“I’m still willing to go to Houston,
but not under these circumstances,”
Robinson said by phone from his
New Jersey home.
“We told them we would accept
his 1980 contract and then assess his
performance during the season,”
Smith said. “But we are not going to
renegotiate now. ”
Pirates General Manager Harding
Peterson has approved the deal.
“I have no further plans to try to
trade him,” Peterson said of
Robinson.
The Pirates part-time player
would become a free agent after this
season, and he sought to have the
Astros guarantee any future con
tract.
Smith refused, saying, “This
wasn’t a trade we simply had to
make. We have about nine candi
dates for first base and I’m sure we’ve
already got people who can handle
the position quite well.”
Saints say no
to ‘Hollywood’
United Press International
NEW ORLEANS — Thomas
“Hollywood” Henderson, the ousted
Dallas linebacker who is like a man
without a country, has tried to con
vince New Orleans coach Dick
Nolan he is worth the No. 1 draft
choice the Cowboys want for trading
him.
Nolan says he isn’t buying.
“I don’t know what I have to do to
get here,” Henderson said after a
two-hour visit with Nolan. “Right
now, the No. 1 draft choice seems to
be the big thing holding up a deal. ”
But Nolan said Monday that even
though the Saints need plenty of de
fensive help, they will not surrender
anything close to a No. 1 for Hen
derson.
“A No. 1?” Nolan asked. “No, not
from me. I know that he wants to
play and he’s a fine athlete, but right
now a No. 1 is out of the question.”
Henderson was fired by Cowboy
coach Tom Landry for mugging on
the sidelines during a nationally tele
vised loss to the Washington Red
skins last season. Landry recently re
fused to allow Henderson to rejoin
the Cowboys.
Henderson told Nolan during the
meeting that he would be a great
addition to the club. “I can play the
flex defense. I know the flex defense
well. This is the only team besides
the Cowboys that plays the flex.”
Nolan has hinted the Saints would
begin negotiations at no higher than
a No. 3 choice for Henderson.
“He’s always had the ability,”
Nolan said. “That’s never been the
question. But whether or not he
wants to devote himself to the job
was the only question in my mind
since the situation with Dallas came
