PRATT WILL DECIDE Defence award tossup By GRANT KERR The Canadian Press In the west corner, wearing the blue and orange of Edmonton Oilers, we have Paul Coffey, rushing defence- man, with 37 goals and 84 4s8ists for 121 points during league play. In the east corner, in the red and blue of Washington Capitals, we have Rod Langway, defensive specialist, with four goals and 22 assists for 26 points. And the referee for the selection of the National Hockey League’s top defence player for 1984-85 is none other than Walter (Babe) Pratt, elected to the Canadian Hockey Hall of Fame in 1966. Pratt is well qualified to judge defencemen. In the “There's not many like him today. You can count them on-one hand-aimost. Guys like Ken Morrow, Brad Marsh and Kevin Lowe. They take care of business in their own end and leave the scoring to the forwards. Pratt, now 69 and semi-retired, works as a good-will ambassador in the public relations department of Vancouver Canucks. , ‘GAME CHANGED’ “The game has changed so much — and for the better,” says Pratt. “In my day when there was a 10 game, the fans felt cheated because the goal probably came on the only good scoring chance that night. “Now take that 1-0 game the other night between and the Islanders. That was some game, 1943-44 season, he set a record for defi by scoring 57 points in 50 games and it stood for 16 years until broken by Pierre Pilote. “They are two different kind of players with contrasting styles,” says Pratt. “Langway stays at home and plays defensively while Coffey is like a fourth forward as he advances the puck at every opportunity. “It's difficult to pick between these two. Maybe it's time for two awards for defencemen, with offensive and defensive categories.” DEBATE CONTINUES The Great Debate is in its third year over whether Langway or Coffey deserves the James Norris Memorial Trophy, which is awarded annually to “the defence player who demonstrates throughout the season the greatest all-round ability in the position” as voted by members of the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association. Langway, the minister of defence in Washington, has won the award during the last two years despite Coffey's totals of 96 and 126 points, compared with Langway's meager totals of 32 and 33 points. Pratt appreciates the talents of both Coffey and Langway. “Langway plays the man and makes the simple, short, safe passes coming out of his own end,” Pratt says. “He's a throwback to the old days when a defenceman was just that, a defenceman. really entertaining with lots of scoring eae: The me is wide open and better for the fans. = “Guys like Coffey have opened it up. It all started with Bobby Orr in the 1960s. Defencemen are great skaters today. Players like Mark Howe and Ray Bourque take the puck in their end and automatically head up ice. “Coffey is the best of the current bunch. He would have been great in the old days where there were seven players a side. What a rover he would have been.” Hockey has changed drastically since Orr hit the NHL for several reasons, including television exposure. Players are bigger and stronger. Pratt pauses when asked to pick between Coffey and Langway for this year’s Norris Trophy. He takes his time, just as he would in lining up a putt on the 18th green. “This year I would vote for Coffey because he deserves everything that can come to a defenceman,” Pratt says. ‘There was some injustice last year when Coffey was second in the Norris voting, then wasn't even named to the first all-star team. “The way he plays, he’s the most dominate defenceman in the game. Sure he plays on the same team as Wayne Gretzky, but he’s still a great player in his own right. He makes things happen with his mobility. He'd get my vote, if I had one.” Hall of Fame grows MONTREAL (CP) — Two of hockey’s significant con- tributors for more than 50 years, John Mariucci and Rudy Pilous, have been elec- ted to the Hockey Hall of Fame in the buliders cate- gory. Brian O'Neill, chairman of the board of directors and executive vice-president of the National Hockey League, Ont., increase the Hall's membership to 249-67 build- ers, 173 players and nine ref- erees. The player selection com- mittee will consider candi- dates for 1985 during its an- nual meeting in June in Tor- onto. Mariucci, born in Eveleth, Minn., on May 8, 1916, is primarily responsible for the Stars, a position he still holds. Pilous was born in Winni- peg on Aug. 11, 1914. For the past 42 years he has held positions as a player, scout, coach, manager and owner in both amateur and profes- sional hockey. He played junior hockey with two Manitoba teams, Portage La Prairie and Win- In his first year, the Invaders became league champions. Pilous moved with the team to Victoria for the 1965-66 season.

Player of the week The Kootenay Internation al Senior Baseball League's initial recipient of the season for “Player of the Week” honors is Lou Cicchetti of the Trail Orioles. To earn the _ honor, Cicchetti collected four hits in leading the Orioles to an impressive 22-13 thrashing of the Beaver Valley Blazers; cracked two home runs, one double, one single for 11 total bases; also scored four runs and delivered six runs batted in. Boardsailing at Syringa Boardsailors from the Kootenays will compete for berths on the Zone 1 B.C. Summer Games team in trials on June 1-2 at Syringa Creek Park near Castlegar. This year the B.C. Summer Games will be at Nanaimo with the board-sailing on tidewater at Piper's Lagoon. Those wishing to compete for a berth on the team must sail a class-legal Windsurfer board in the trials at Syringa Creek. However, all types of boards are welcome to race at the trials regatta. Last year's Kootenay team placed well at the games with Rich- ard Deane of plac- ing first in lightweight and Richard Hawe of Rossland placing third in heavyweight Chris Walker of Rossland and Jim Sawyer of Cranbrook also competed. This year, a separate class for ladies has been created, along with heavyweight, lightweight and junior. Zone 1 extends from Grand Forks to Fernie and to Golden. Strong entries are expected from Rossland and Castlegar and from Cranbrook and Fernie whose sailors are experienced in high winds on Moyie Lake. Registration will be on site at Syringa Creek Park at 9 a.m. on June 1 FIRST ROUND PICK No quarterbacks in NFL draft By DAVE GOLDBERG NEW YORK (AP) — National Football League teams again passed up the headline-makers for the grunts, putting the emphasis on linemen and defenders in their draft of U.S. collegiate players Tuesday. As they did last year, the 28 NFL teams selected no quarterbacks in a first round that sgw 12 linemen — six of- fensive and six defensive — taken. Nor did they take a tight end. They used the first nine picks on offensive linemen, defensive linemen and line- backers, waiting until the 10th pick — when New York Jets took wide receiver Al Toon of Wisconsin — to choose a player whose name is likely to appear other than by accident in an NFL scor-. ing summary. That was the longest the draft had gone since 1968 without a quarterback, run- ning back or wide receiver being taken. The first quarterback wasn't drafted until the ninth pick of the second round — the 37th of the draft — when Philadelphia Eagles chose Randall Cunningham of Nev ada-Las Vegas, brother of former New England fullback Sam Cunningham. There was also an unusual amount of trading during the first round as teams mano- euvred for the dozen or so blue-chip players available. This further supported the assessment that this draft, while reasonably deep in tal- ent, wasn't very talented at the top. Super Bowl champion San Francisco 49ers, in fact, may have registered a coup of Lever has super By The Associated Press It was the kind of night a lot of players only dream about but it was routine for Denver guard Lafayette Lever.

Los Angeles Lakers also were a winner in the west. The Celtics and 76ers both have 20 leads over Detroit and Milwaukee, respectively, and the Lakers have a similar margin over Portland. Alex English had 31 points for Denver, Dan Issel came off the bench to score 24 and Calvin Natt had 21. “They just whipped us,” said Utah coach Frank Lay den. “Denver ran the ball down our throats. “They scored 50 points on the fast break and 24 points on second shots. Byron Scott sparked a second-quarter scoring spree by the fast-breaking Lakers and finished with 31 points as Les Angeles overpowered the Trail Blazers. The Lakers, who go to Portland for Game 2 Friday night, have won each of their five playoff games by at least 16 points. Scott, streaking down the court for fast-break layins and also hitting with accur- acy from outside, made 13 of his 17 field goal attempts. James Worthy chipped in with 21 points for Los An- geles while Kiki Vandeweghe led Portland with 23 points. CELTICS 121 PISTONS 114 Larry Bird, disregarding a painful right elbow, shed his protective bandage at half- time and scored 30 of his 42 Kelow points after the intermission to pace the Celtics. Danny Ainge had 25 points, Kevin McHale 20 and Robert Parish 14 in helping the Celties hold off a re charged Detroit offense. The Pistons were led by Isiah Thomas with 28 points, Kelly Tripucka with 24 and Dan Roundfield with 22. 76ERS 112 BUCKS 108 Moses Malone scored 25 points and Julius Erving added 21 as the 76ers won on the road for the second time. Malone and Erving each hit clutch free throws to help thwart a Milwaukee rally late in the game. The Bucks, who trailed by 10 midway through the final quarter, eut the deficit to 110-108 in the final minute. Terry Cummings had a game-high 41 points for the Bucks. sorts by exchanging first round picks with New Eng- land Patriots to grab coveted wide receiver Jerry Rice of Mississippi Valley State be fore Dallas Cowboys could put the grab on him. “I was surprised at all the movement and probably the four offensive linemen taken so early,” said Bill Parcells, the New York Giants coach who may have benefited when the deals left running back George Adams of Ken- tucky available for the Giants to choose with the 19th sel- ection on the first round. There were no surprises at the top. Malinosky gets traded TORONTO (CP) — Tor. onto Argonauts announced Tuesday the trade of veteran offensive lineman John Mal inosky to Hamilton for the Tiger-Cats second-round pick in the 1986 Canadian Football League college draft. Malinosky, entering his eighth CFL season, had been the starting right offensive tackle with Toronto the last three years and in 1984 was named to the Eastern Divi- sion all-star team. The former Michigan State star was acquired from Win- nipeg Blue Bombers on Feb. 11, 1980.
