YUGOSLAV WIN REGIONAL SOCCER TITLE
SEATTLE - The Seattle Mitre-Eagle- s,
driven by a bit too much ambition, at-tempted
to win not one Western Regional
soccer championship Sunday in Memorial
Stadium, but two.
At 9 a.m. Sunday, the Mitre-Eagle- s de-molished
Gulf United of Arizona, 7-- 0, to
win the Western Regional of the U.S.
Amateur Cup.
At 4 p.m., the same club went after
a second championship against the San
Pedro Yugoslavs in the Western Regional
final of the U.S. Open Cup.
Playing in the shadow of Seattle's Space
Needle in unseasonably warm weather,
the two teams raced up and down the
110 yards of artificial turf at a hectic pace.
When the score remained tied, 2-- 2, after
regulation, it was asking the impossible
of the host team.
Still, with the help of three penalty
kicks, the Mitre-Eagl- es gave the more
experienced Yugoslavs all they could han-dle,
before falling, 4-- 3.
Two San Pedro goals were scored by
Fikret Malkoc on direct free kicks. The
other scores came from Ari DeCarvalho
and Orlando Pippolo.
Seattle got two goals from John Klein
on penalty kicks and one from Ted Metalis
on, what else, a third penalty kick.
A small, but vocal, band of followers
made the trip from San Pedro to Seattle.
To chants of "Yugo, Yugo, Yugo," the
Yugoslavs avoided a fourth penalty kick,
while qualifying for the U.S. Open Cup
national championships, to be played July
11-1- 2 in St. Louis.
"We did it," San Pedro manager Gavrilo
Cucuk, who took teams to the U.S. title
game twice in the 1970s, said. "This is
a great victory for San Pedro."
With the win, the Greater Los Angeles
Soccer League team improved its overajll
record to 17-4-- 2 on the season.
Seattle, a team of mostly Seattle area
college players, suffered its second loss
against 23 wins and one tie.
San Pedro Coach Novak Tomich, who
was brought in by Cucuk two weeks ago,
said the victory was sweet.
"I always respect the referee," Tomich
said. "He is on the field. He sees what
happens, but three penalty kicks is too
much.
"All I can say is, we played hard. We
deserved to win. We're in first place."
Seattle opened the scoring in the 13th
minute when Andrew Churlin hit a wicked
shot in the penalty area. San Pedro captain
Alberto Mendoza was in line with the
shot. When the ball hit his arms folded
across his chest, he was called for a
hand-ba- ll violation, resulting in Klein's
first penalty kick.
Goalkeeper Adrian Dicelle, who played
a marvelous game, guessed right, but the
ball slammed into the far left corner of
the goal.
San Pedro tied it on DeCarvalho's goal
in the 20th minute. Always the opportunist,

Gas barbecues are a convenient
and economical way to enjoy outdoor
cooking, but they must be used
carefully and kept in good condition.
Every summer, backyard chefs are
injured and property is damaged in gas
barbecue fires. Here are a few safety
tips to ensure your barbecue parties
don't go up in smoke.
1. There's only one way to connect a
propane cylinder to a barbecue -- the right
ane.
way. Follow the manufacturer's instruc-tions
closely and keep the fuel hose away
from any metal parts which may become hot.
Z. Check for leaks regularly.-- Brush a soap and
water solution over hoses and connectors and
open the cylinder valve. If there's a leak,
bubbles will form in the soap film.
5. Keep your barbecue at least 10 feet from
buildings, overhangs and combustible structures.
4. Don't try to light a barbecue with the lid
closed. If it fails to light or goes out, turn the
gas off and wait five minutes before relighting.
3. When finished, close all valves.
O. Never bring propane cylinders indoors.
pounced on a loose ball in the area and
slid it past goalkeeper Jeff Stors.
San Pedro took a 2-- 1 lead with 10
minutes left in the first half. Malkoc took
a free kick from 28 yards out on the left
side. His shot went between the wall and
the near post, giving Stors little chance.
San Pedro appeared to take a 3-- 1 lead
midway through the second half. John
Eninger, who scored two goals in San
Pedro's 5-- 1 semifinal win over the Colo-rado
Comets, collected a rebound off a
Roberto Schardonz shot that hit the post.
Eninger put it right back in the net, but,
somehow, the referee ruled offsides, negat-ing
the goal.
Then, with 14:50 left in regulation, Men-doza
was called for his second penalty
inside the 18-ya- rd area. Mendoza and Se-attle
captain Ed Krueger collided in mid-air,
but whether it deserved a penalty
kick, which Klein converted, was debat-able.
In overtime, San Pedro took a 3-- 2 lead
on Pippolo's goal with three minutes left
in the first 15-min- ute overtime. Pressure
by Tony Douglas and Daniel Bautasso on
Seattle defender Steve Englebrick forced
Engelbrick to turn and make a dangerous
pass to his goalkeeper.
Eninger hustled in and bothered Stors
enough to cause him to lose the ball.
Pippolo, a late-gam- e substitute for Zoltan
Kovacs, found himself alone with an open
net. He deposited the ball between the
posts: 3-- 2.

Faced .with exhaustion, Seattle yielded
a direct free kick five minutes later at
the edge of its penalty area.
Malkoc and Nick Cucuk, who replaced
DeCarvalho when he pulled his right ham-string
with 10 minutes left in regulation,
stood over the ball.
Who would take the shot?
Cucuk finally backed off, as Malkoc
chipped a shot over the Seattle wall into
the left corner of the goal, making it 4-- 2
in favor of the Yugoslavs.
"That was the plan," Cucuk said. "I
wanted to take it, but then I backed off.
Mostly, we wanted to confuse them,
which we did."
Seattle made it 4-- 3 with 4:31 left
in the second overtime. Again, it
took some acting from Krueger, a
veteran of the North American Soc-cer
League.
Krueger went up for a high cross
and actually laid across the back
of defender Miguel Lopez, formerly
of UCLA and the Aztecs.
The referee bought Krueger's
act, pointing to the 12-ya- rd spot.
Seattle had one last chance to
tie on a head shot by Michael Hiatt,
but Dicelle made an acrobatic, div-ing
save to his right.
Seattle Coach Ivan Raznjevich,
who took the Mitre-Eagle- s to the
U.A. Open final last year, stated
the obvious.
