U S Russia Track Meet Cancelled Over TV Rights
The 17th annual U S Russia Track Meet faces collapse after ABC and the USSR State Committee for Television and Radio cancel a 50000 contract, with AAU director Cassell accusing the Soviets of breaching US rights terms as Roone Arledge says ABC paid for the rights.
