...Stoppard is a rabbit breeder of words-button-tailed, twitchy-nosed, big-eared, bright-eyed and always on the hop. Onstage, words do lead to talk, too much talk, perhaps, in this play, but much of it is exhilaratingly Shavian. In the new guise of a didact, Stoppard comes out for a free press ("Information is light...
Those must be the scarlet and white silks of the CBS-TV stable that Kristy McNichol, 17, is wearing as she sits astride a big mount named Gilford. The tomboy of the Family sitcom series stars this week in My Old Man, a TV movie in which she is Jo Butler, the track-wise daughter of a down-on-his-luck horse trainer, played by Warren Gates.

No doubt children in the audience will have a fine time anyway; they may even enjoy the film's prosaic conclusion more than its arty opening. Still, adults cannot be blamed if The Black Stallion...
...big men did the job with Mark Cooley and Jim Phills crushing the competition at 190-lbs. and heavyweight once again. Cooley slapped Yates Exeley with a cross-face cradle to earn his second win of the year. The Cardinals' Steve Yermish underestimated Phills, who managed to slip out of several headlocks and toss Yermish all over the mat in winning decisively...
