Dear Henry:

Best wishes for a speedy recovery! When you feel up to it, I would be very interested in knowing your assessment of the bypass surgical procedure, inasmuch as there is a likelihood that I will be needing it in the next few years. To date, I have been able to control the advancement of the disease through a combination of diet, medication and exercise. But just like "Old Man River", arterial sclerosis rolls on.

I am enclosing two articles that you may have missed, concerning the growth of indoor soccer, with the thought that reading them may be a diversion from the weighty issues that you are usually required to think about.

The main reason for writing, however, is just to let you know that I was thinking about you, and pulling for a completely successful recovery.

Best wishes.

Indoor Soccer: Good as Goals

It isn't easy being Mr. Indoor Soccer. Just ask Steve Zungul, the 27-year-old Yugooslav who has singlefootedly led the New York Arrows to three consecutive championships. Once the toast of Belgrade for his world-class outdoor play, Zungul now finds it "insulting" to practice in the dimly lit, unheated airplane hangar that serves as the Arrows' headquarters. So sometimes he doesn't.

Then there are those pesky soccer purists. "People always aggravating me, saying, 'Quit that crazy new game and play real sport'," Zungul complains. "I tell you, when I first came to this country I had many more hairs." But Zungul's biggest problem is keeping track of his own flourishing stats. "Goals, goals, goals," he says, summing up indoor soccer fairly succinctly. "I score so many playing inside, I lose count."

Alas, such confusion is inevitable in a game designed for double-digit scores. Indoor soccer is played in a space created for hockey, about half the size of an outdoor field, complete with dasher boards to ensure that the ball will remain always in bounds. Although the players must possess traditional ball-handling skills, they have little time or inclination to play organized offense, preferring to launch shots continually until each match resembles an endless string of 11 o'clock news highlights. When the Arrows whipped the Phoenix Inferno by a score of 15-10 recently, no one batted an eye.

**Horse Race:** Zungul leads the Major Indoor Soccer League with 48 goals in his first seventeen games, and thus is scoring at a rate that would do credit to an entire outdoor team. Yet he is hardly running away from his indoor rivals; Stan Terlecki, a Polish import who plays for the Pittsburgh Spirit, was last week a mere eleven goals off the lead. The Spirit, in fact, has made a real horse race of the MISL's Eastern Division since sports magnate Edward J. DeBartolo acquired the team last summer. In the West, the St. Louis Steamers are cruising toward their second straight appearance in the spring playoffs. Suddenly the Arrows' dynasty looks very vulnerable. But really, does anyone out there care?

The answer is yes, sometimes with a passion. The Steamers, who feature a gang of local-boys-making-good, are drawing an average crowd of 17,750 to the Checkerdome—a figure that no professional basketball or hockey franchise can match. Outside

of St. Louis, a traditional soccer hotbed, the numbers look less dramatic, but average attendance in the thirteen-team MISL has been increasing steadily, from 4,453 in the league's first season (1978-79), to 8,689 this year. The rival North American Soccer League has seen its average indoor crowd jump 20 percent, to 5,823 this season, despite the fact that its commissioner, Phil Woosnam, views the winter game as "no big deal, just a sensible thing to do between outdoor seasons."

DeBartolo, whose empire includes the

Super Bowl champion San Francisco 49ers, isn't the only moneyman who has spotted the trend. "People are waiting in line to buy stock in our club," says an official of the Steamers, who were taken over in 1980 by a group including baseball great Stan Musial and sportscaster Joe Garagiola for a reported $1.2 million. "And they used to say that you couldn't make money in soccer."

Actually, no big profits will be reaped until the game dramatically increases its television exposure—something that does not appear imminent in light of ABC's disastrous experience with outdoor soccer two years ago. Yet indoor promoters are confident that rising attendances combined with the "look" of their product will melt some programmers' hearts. "What you've got to realize," says an MISL official, "is that the game was literally built for TV. You've got a

bright red ball traveling on a nice green background and goals designed for better camera angles. Heck, we went so far as to structure the game to allow for the maximum number of commercials."

Even Alex Haley would have trouble untangling its roots. Obviously, indoor soccer owes a large debt to hockey, from which it has borrowed the dasher boards, the penalty box and the concept of free-flowing substitution. But there is some basketball theory in the six-man format—and a touch of Hollywood, too; gimmicky team entrances, now *de rigueur* in both leagues, range from the passing out of roses by the Tampa Bay Rowdies to the Baltimore Blast's smoky arrival via a mock-up spaceship.

Gone are the interminable mid-field maneuvers and defensive struggles that

characterize traditional soccer. But the new game lacks form and subtlety. As long as the ball keeps zooming at 90 miles per hour, and caroming off the boards at all angles, no playbook can evolve. For all the time Arrows' coach Don Popovic has spent studying basketball textbooks, the team has achieved its dominance with a single rudimentary strategy: get the ball to Zungul, the Lord of All Indoors.

**Finesse:** Zungul rarely ventures into the defensive zone. Instead, he prowls the make-believe grass in front of the enemy goal while wearing a sleepy-eyed look that belies his quickness. Aware that indoor soccer is not a game of finesse, he instantly transforms passes into shots-on-goal, using either foot with equal strength, then positions himself for any rebound. Frequently, there is none; Zungul is the MISL's all-time leading scorer, with 289 goals through last week. "The secret of this game," he says, "is that you got to figure where the ball is going to be." Although he rarely sits down, Zungul claims to be more fatigued

mentally than physically at the end of each match.

But now the superstar may be getting just plain tired of indoor soccer. Zungul accepted the Arrows' offer of $150,000 per year only as a last resort after being blackballed from the outdoor sport for jumping his Yugooslavian team. With his contract now being renegotiated, he is talking openly of spending more time in his Manhattan flower shop, The Jungle, or possibly renewing his efforts to be reinstated as an outdoor player here or abroad. "Steve's one problem," says Popovic, "is that he must always have a goal to shoot for, and in indoor soccer he has already done it all." Of course, all of Zungul's ominous rumblings could be nothing more than a bargaining ploy. Some things don't differ from sport to sport.
