The Embassy
World Professional Snooker Championship from the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield. Seventh day
The last 16 players from a field of 103 are now engaged in a long, tense battle to win the world crown and a first prize of £60,000.
Starting this morning's session will almost certainly be the present champion,
STEVE DAVIS , against DAVID TAYLOR. Also seeded to play are much-fancied JIMMY WHITE and TONY MEO.
And at 2.30* Snooker Break, introduced by DAVID VINE. Write to Snooker Break, BBC Television, Crucible
Theatre, 55 Norfolk Street Sheffield Sl IDA.
Then this afternoon's session begins with the prospect of an exciting match between two former world champions,
ALEX HIGGINS and TERRY GRIFFITHS , and, if the experts are correct, TONY KNOWLES and DOUG MOUNTJOY should be carrying on their second-round tussle. Remember it's the best of 25 frames.
