World volleyball title to U.S.
NZPA-Reuter Tokyo The Olympic champions, the United States, captured the men’s volleyball World Cup yesterday when they beat Japan, 3-0 (15-10, 15-5, 15-2), to record their sixth successive win in the eightnation tournament. The Americans cannot be displaced at the top of the standings even if they lose, 0-3, to second-placed Czechoslovakia in their final match today. With one point awarded to the defeated side, the best the Czechs can do is draw level on points. But the Americans boast a superior set-rate. Results: Czechoslovakia beat Soviet Union, 3-1 (17-15, 15-9, 615, 15-6); South Korea beat Egypt, 3-0 (15-4, 15-11, 15-7); Brazil beat Argentina, 3-1 (1416, 15-8, 15-8, 15-12); United States beat Japan, 3-0 (15-10, 15-5, 15-2). Standings:
