Tuesday, November 12,1985TThe Battalion/Page 13 Flyers’ goalie remains on life-support systems Associated Press STRATFORD, NT. — All-Star goalie Pelle Lindberen, who was le gally drunk when his sports car slammed into a concrete wall, will re main on life-support systems until his family is “satisfied with the fi nality of the situation,” the Philadel phia Flyers’ team physician said Monday. Lindbergh, 26, was declared brain dead Sunday after several examina tions by neurologists and neurosur geons confirmed irreversible dam age to his spinal cord and brain stem, said Dr. Edward Viner. He said Lindbergh’s blood alcohol content was .24 percent at the time of the accident, far above the .10 percent limit at which a New Jersey driver is considered intoxicated. Viner, who kept a constant vigil at Lindbergh’s bedside at John F. Ken nedy Memorial Hospital, said the a nosis continues to be incom- & with life.” A decision to turn off the respira tor would not be made until Lind bergh’s father, Sigge, arrived from Sweden, he said. The elder Lind bergh arrived before 5 p.m. EST Monday. If the family wishes to donate Lindbergh’s vital organs for trans plant, the decision should be made by Wednesday, said Dr. Louis Gallo, a staff surgeon at Kennedy Memo rial. “We’re going to work with the family to decide how far they want us to go in sustaining biological life,” Gallo said. The elder Lindbergh, a retired shipyard worker, has a “significant heart condition” and family mem- bets were worried about the strain as he traveled to the United States, Viner said. The hockey star’s mother, Anna-Lisa, was visiting her son before the accident. Mrs: Lindbergh and Pelle’s fian cee, Kerstin Pietzsch, have been at his hospital bedside, Viner said. “I want him to live, but I want him to be a person,” the tearful Pietzsch said Sunday. “I always worried about a car accident, but he laughed at me. He told me not to worry, but I wor ried.” The tw r o passengers in Lind bergh’s car, both friends who squeezed into the front of his Porsche, were seriously injured and remained hospitalized. Kathyleen McNeal, 22, of Ridley Park, Pa., was in stable condition at Kennedy Memorial with injuries to the liver and spleen. Edward Parvin, 28, was in critical condition at Coo per Hospital-University Medical Center, Camden, with a fractured skull. In addition to critical brain inju ries, Lindbergh suffered fractures of the hip, leg and jaw. He was “twisted up like a pretzel” and pinned in the wreckage, said Somerdale police Det. Charles Pope. Lindbergh’s sports car failed to make a curve on a road in nearby Somerdale and smashed into a wall in front of an elementary school at about 5:40 a.m. Sunday. ‘TIS THE SEASON TO GET SHOT (For the yearbook anyway) The schedule has been changed for yearbook photos: Juniors, Seniors, Vets, Meds and Grads can have their photos taken thru Dec. 13. All photos will be taken above Campus Photo Center at North gate. No pictures will be taken at the Pavilion (t>ON 'T BE A TURJ&y ANb WA/T 'T/L 7H£ LAST My/) Pacific-10 Five teams have chance for title Associated Press The race for the Pacific-10 Conference basketball title, which went down to the last weekend and still could not decide a cham pion outright a year ago, figures to be as wide open this season. With last year’s conference powers each losing key players and some of the also-rans looking stronger, there is no one team for coaches in the conference to key on. Washington figures as the most likely team to be in the midst of a Pac-10 race that perhaps could be headed by any one of five schools this year. The Huskies finished tied atop the conference a year ago with Southern Cal. Both had 13-5 records. But even' the Huskies, 22-10 overall last season, have question marks. They lost their top scorer and rebounder from last year, Detlef Schrempf, to graduation, but will be counting on 7-foot center Christian Welp and for ward Paul Fortier to fill the void. Last year, Fortier averaged 13.2 points a game while Welp scored 13 per outing. The Huskies will look for even more production from those two this year. It also remains to be seen how first-year coach Andy Russo, who replaces a Husky tradition in Marv Harshman, mends in at his new school. “There are a lot of question marks which have to be answered as far as we’re concerned,” Russo said. “Whether or not the system that I’m used to running fits the personnel that I have here and so on.” Washington has some formida ble obstacles in California, South ern Cal, Oregon State and Ari zona State. Even UCLA and Washington State could be con sidered Tongshot possibilities. Although California finished tied for eighth in the conference race last year and was 13-15 over all, the Golden Bears might have the fewest holes to fill this season. Cal’s new coach, Lou Cam- panelli, has four starters back, guards Kevin Johnson and Chris Washington and forwards Leon ard Taylor and Jim Beatie. Also back in the Cal lineup will be junior forward Dave Butler, who redshirted last season with College Basketball Preview knee problems. If the Golden Bears can find somebody to play the center posi tion, they might be the team able to overhaul the Huskies for the conference title. Southern Cal lost four starters from its 19-10 team last year, in cluding forward Wayne Car- lander, the Pac-10 Player of the Year. Heading the returnees are ju nior forward Derrick Dowell, the Trojans’ leading rebounder last year, and guard Larry Friend. Coach Stan Morrison will be hop ing that the highly recruited Tom Lewis, a 6-7 freshman from Santa Ana, Calif., who has been impres sive in preseason workouts, can make an immediate impact. Oregon State, whicn tied for third last year and was 22-9 over all, has center Steve Woodside back, but the Beavers will sorely miss forward A.C. Green, the conference’s leading scorer last vear. Guards Darryl Flowers and Eric Knox figure big in Coach Ralph Miller’s plans this year. Arizona State has seven of its top eight scorers returning.from a team that finished a disappoint ing 12-16 overall last year. UCLA Coach Walt Hazzard, whose Bruins rallied to win 18 of their last 24 games last season en route to a National Invitation Tournament championship, will look to forward Reggie Miller and guard Montel Hatcher to lead the way. Washington State, 5-13 in con ference and 13-15 overall last year, have four returning start ers, led by forwards Joe Wallace, second in the Pac-lO in scoring, and Otis Jennings. Arizona Coacn Lute Olsen has only one starter — guard 'Steve Kerr — back from a 21-10 team that finished tied for third in the conference last year, while Ore gon Coach Don Monson has only one senior — forward Jerry Ad ams — on his roster, so the Ducks, 8-10 in conference and 15-16 overall, don’t figure to be contenders. Stanford, in the Pac-10 base ment in 1984-85 and 11-17 over all, have a lot of holes to fill around forward Eat I Oberlein. The Pacific Coast Athletic .As sociation, as it has the past three- years, should be ruled by the Uni versity of Nevada-Las Vegas’ Runmn’ Rebels. The Rebels, 28-4 a year ago, have lost two-time PCAA Player of the Year Richie Adams, but Coach Jerry Tarkanian has three returning starters. The only team given an outside chance of ending UNLV’s three- year reign in the PCAA is San Jose State, which will pin its hopes on Ricky Berry, the 6-8 son ol Spartan Coach Bill Berry. UC Irvine, coming off a disap pointing 13-17 season, will de pend on forward T od Murphv, who averaged 17 points a game last year. ago, 1. the Fresno State, 23-9 a year has to replace Mitch Arnold, Bulldogs leading scorer, and Scott Barnes, last years’ leading rebounder. Forward Jos Kuipers is the Bulldogs’ top returning starter. HOW DOES $100,000 PER YEAR FIT YOUR PLANS? That’s right, our unit managers averaged over $100,000 last year.
