. Last week this column detailed
some of the ups and downs that ;
baseball, football and basketball
have been coping with in the last
year or two, and offered v some
advice on how those problems
can be remedied. This week we
take a look at the two sports that
have, been suffering as of late,
-due to a lack of national fan and
media acceptance hockey and
soccer.
Passing the puck
When the NHL and WHA
merged a few months ago, it
eliminated one of . the major
Broblems with the sport of
OCKEY dilution of talent. Even
with the conglomeration, it will
still be at least a year or two
before some of the weaker NHL
franchises are weeded out.
On a more positive note, this
hew 'super-league' will afford the
fans of North America a chance
to see many of the old WHA stars
ip the NHL Of course, it still
remains to be seen whether the
NHL can pick up an . American
network TV commitment in order
to make the game more market
able. The NHL must also mount
a public relations campaign in
certain cities across America in
order, to really find out if there is
a demand for the game.
The league needs the L.A. Kings
franchise to be a strong con
tender. Otherwise the game will
never be fully accepted as a
major sport on the West Coast,
the country's fastest growing
population center, which includes
many transplanted northeas
terners and Canadians.
The 80-plus game schedule
could be chopped by about 10
games so that the playoffs can
end a bit earlier, instead of
competing with baseball and
basketball in late May. With the
merger, the players' salaries will
come back into the line and the
raiding of prime junior talent now
comes to a grinding halt a

SOCCER has always been
played in the United States, but
only by the immigrant families
who rTHiintained close ties to the

leagues where English is not the
chosen language.
Pele's arrival to our shores in
the early 70s and his placement
into a New York Cosmos uniform
was part of a shrewd and
calculated game plan to bring
soccer to the American people as
a whole. Pele's friendly disposi

ABC-TV committed to telecasting
some six games per season,
soccer is experiencing a rapid
growth in North America.
On the negative side, iffy

to 30,000 people per match. With

overseas, otherwise the balance
of the league will be unfairly tilted

dress and that she was
unable to phone him at the
address.
Whether the informa
tion received from the
probation officer should
have been believed may
play an important part in
Miss Peace's trial.
Officer Told They
Could Search
With Warrant
Miss Peace says that
numerous times she told
police she would allow her
apartment to be searched
if they obtained a search
warrant.
Whether the young
woman had the right to
resist the police invasion
at her home and to hit the
policeman who allegedly
gripped her arm, to some
extent depends upon the
determination of legality
of the invasion. A well
known provision of the
law, criminal lawyers say,
is the right of an apart
ment dweller to use
reasonable force to resist
an illegal search of his
premises.
Police are tight lipped
and Chief T.B. Seagroves
would not grant permis
sion for the officers in
volved to talk to The
Carolina Times. So it has
not been determined
whether police tried to get
a warrant and could not.
Telegraphic Warrant
Available to officers is
what is known as a
telegraphic warrant. This
warrant allows an officer
to radio his dispatcher
who, in turn, calls the
warrant issuing
magistrate, who, if the re
quest is justified, issues
the warrant.
Miss Peace said that of
ficers, told her they had
gone to get a warrant and
while they were gone, Sgt. -Blalock
kept his foot in ,
her door so that the door
couldn't be closed. "When
Lt. Day returned, Miss
- Peace said he had a paper
which was not a warrant.
Another issue likely to
come up at the trial, if the
judge rules that the search
was legal, is whether the
officers exceeded the
scope of their power to ex
ecute the search.
Officer Paschall's
report gives twenty
minutes as the length of
time of the search of the
two bedroom apartment.
Miss Peace says Sgt.
Paschall looked under
rugs, and a blanket on the
floor, and other places a
human couldn't hide.
Miss Peace claims that
Sgt. Blalock tried to force
her to stop attempts to call
for help. She claimed that
she was calling the police
for help,, and that he
(Blalock) "hollered
through the phone" to the
police dispatcher that the
police were already there.
Other calls were made
to Howard Peace, the
complainant's brother,
during which Miss Peace
says Sgt. Blalock con
tinued to hold her arm
tightly, trying to get her to
hand over the receiver.
Sgt. Paschall then pinned
her against her
refrigerator by the throat,
she said.
Howard Peace says he
received the called. "She
was telling me that the
police barged their way on
in. Then I heard the police
say, 'give me that damn
phone'. She was telling me
that the police were chok
ing her and then the phone
hung up." Howard Peace
said.
Miss Peace was arrested
and charged with obstruc
ting police, resisting ar
i est, and assaulting police.
She was bailed out of jail
more than twelve hours
later.
The only prior involve
ment Miss Peace has hac!
with police was a stoplight
conviction two years ago.
Ronald Bruce Peace has
several convictions on his
record.
