: Page 12 â€" Waterloo Chronicle, Wednesday, June 27, 1979 SportWaterloo A‘s precision increased greatly which resulted in many more chances against Olympia goalie Norbert Stevens And It took only a few seconds of the second half to see that A‘s were taking the play to the German club in an attempt to even the score Play for the first 20 minutes was fairly even and concenâ€" trated around midâ€"field. Then Peter Kleinkes put the Garâ€" mans on the scoresheet when a slipâ€"up from a scramble in front of A‘s goalie Gary Zettler allowed him to drive the ball home. A‘s nearly equalized four minutes later but Mahy was just unable to make contact as he dove to direct the ball into the Olympia net. From that point on until the half Olympia had scads of chances to take the lead. Zettler robbed Kleinkes blind twice on breakaways with diving saves and then as time wound down Frank Feldbusch hooked a shot just wide of the left comer "I told them (A‘s) at halfâ€"time I wanted the ball kept on the ground." said Waterloo coach Harko Wassing. "They were passing in the air to® much in the first half and the bail was harder to control. If it‘s at your feet you can move it right away, but if you take it on your upper body it‘s three or four seconds before you can control it.~ Before an appreciative crowd of 400 in cold blustery weather, Olympia grabbed a 1â€"0 first half lead, saw that evaporate at the 72 minute mark, and then held on desperaâ€" tely as the A‘s allâ€"out assault for the winning goal fell just short as time ran out. Most pundits had predicted the A‘s to falter in the late going but they swarmed in the Olympia end after Bill Mahy deadlocked the game and it was clear the West Germans were satisfied to escape with a draw. That did not appear to be the case in the first half though when the young spirited visitors missed several glorious opâ€" portunities to ice the game right there.

Action picked up immensely during the second half much to the delight of the spectators who not surprisingly were divided in their loyalty. On Wednesday,.

A‘s beat the West German club to the bail on this play and generally conâ€" trolled the midfield in the second half to gain many scoring chances. Late in the game the Germans established a tight shell around their goal area to indicate defense was their primary concern â€" and so it should have been against the blitzkreig the A‘s challenged with. ‘"*Even when we tied it the boys kept pushing for the winâ€" ner,‘"‘ said Wassing. "For them (Olympia) it was safety first in front of their net, get the ball away any way they could and decide later what to do with it." The home club continued to dominate and got excellent defensive work from individuals such as Chris Ford to keep the visitors pressed in their own end. But no clear chance arose and the final whistle sounded to signify the tie. "It was quite a good experience for us since this was the first time we have played a team in a game of an internaâ€" tional nature like this," said Wassing. "But I think they (Olympia) learned just as much from us as we did fro them. We have a very talented team with much experiem‘.z my job is to show them how to put the talent to use."‘ 29 Nightengale Cr., Elmira; fourth prize â€" Rose Arnold, No. 3348, 26 Chicopee Terr., Kitchener; consolation prizes â€" Jane Hale, No. 3359, 441 B Midwood Cr., Waterloo; Joanne Sarâ€" gent, No. 1931, 203611 Heritage Dr., Kitchener; Landscap, ing United.
