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.

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.
