Bombers
stampede
in Cowtown

CALGARY (CP) — Danny
Barrett wasn’t first choice as starting
quarterback when the Stampeders
opened their Canadian Football
League regular season four wins and
three losses ago

Heck, he wasn’t
choice.

Third or fourth would be more
truthful.

But after injuries to Erik Kramer
and Terrence Jones in the pre-season,
he became the starter by default — a
blessing in disguise as he proved once
again in Calgary's 31-10 win over the
Winnipeg Blue Bombers Tuesday
night

Barrett completed two touchdown
passes — a 30-yarder to Larry Willis
anda thread-the-needle, 10-yard bullet
to Brock Smith — completed 15 of 25
throws for 233 yards and rushed for
another 36 yards himself

“*It’s nice to go from adversity at the
quarterback position to our quarter
backs showing up well now,’ head
coach Lary Kuharich beamed in the
dressing room. ‘‘It was a real godsend
to get two veterans like Barrett and
(Tom) Porras to lead the way.””

No doubt Porras has been doing his
share on the sidelines to pump up the
players. But there’s no doubt the five
foot-eleven, 195-pound Barrett, who
sports a shaved head and pencil-thin
moustache, has done the most to build
team spirit

He has yet to criticize an individual
player (unless it is himself), talks a lot
about team effort and always looks on
the bright side — even when things fall
apart for the Stamps, as they did at
times in Tuesday’s game

FORGET MISTAKES

**You have to take it one seriés at a
time,” he said. ‘‘Forget about the last
series. We did a good, complete job
tonight.’’

Forgetting past mistakes, even when

= Golf Tips

$ ¥
WAYNE GAMBORSKI and DENNY McARTHUR

Most sports begin from the ground up, that is the lower body initiates
the movement.

Golf is not any different, the swing is initiated by the lower body,
even though it is not apparent at first glance. What we usually see in the
better players is the smoothness and grace of the arms and upper body, but
with the beginners seem to be jerky and manipulative.

The difference can be found in the lower body which controls the up-
per. If we take a look at sports we find that athletes always move towards
the target, rather than away from it. Yet in golf we find endless examples
of individuals falling away from the target, known as the military method
.». Tire and fall back.

It is the objective of this tip to help learn the proper lower body
movement resulting in much mor consistent results, We must go back to
the ball flight laws to determine what we are trying to accomplish at im-
pact

Number one, we are trying to hit the golf ball on the centre of the
clubface, and to accomplish this consistently we must make a descending
blow towards the ball. This is the root of the military approach to hitting
the golf ball, the average person realizes that the ball must get in the air so
instictively try to do so by **helping”’ it. We help the ball into the air by
making an ascending blow, making it impossible to strike the ball on the
centre of the face.

What occurs as we try to make an ascending blow is that the weight
transfers from the front foot to the back, falling away from the target. To
eliminate this motion we must first realize what we are trying to accom
plish and secondly, how we will try to do it.

We are now aware of what is to be accomplished according to the ball
flight laws and next week we will introduce drills to show us what the body
is to be doing.

Good luck and good golfing.

The Pro-Junior team of Todd Archambault, Marcel Dusseault and
Denise Pottle teamed up with Wayne Gamborski to finish a strong third in
the Lyle and Scott Pro Junior this past Monday in Summerland. The
Juniors represented the West Kootenays and the Castlegar Golf Club very
well and are to be congratulated.

Lemieux scores megabuck
contract with Penguins

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mario Lemieux closed the
salary gap between him and fellow hockey superstar Wayne
Gretzky on Tuesday when he signed a five-year contract
with the Pittsburgh Penguins that will pay him nearly $12

million

Gretzky became the first NHL player to make more
than $1 million a year when he received an eight-year, $20-
million contract from the Los Angeles Kings after being
traded by the Edmonton Oilers in the summer of 1988.

necessity to this organization, because he and Wayne Gret- -
zky are unique in hockey,” said Penguins general manager
Tony Esposito.

“They're the only players in hockey who are excep.
tions to the rules,” he said

Lemieux’s deal is worth about $2.4 million a year, not
including incentives that could boost the total value an ad-
ditional $1 million over the length of the contract, said
sources close to the negotiations.

The new contract makes Lemieux the highest-paid

athlete in Pittsburgh history

Lemieux, credited with single-handedly reviving a

‘GREATEST DAY’

“When I think back to coming here in 1984, not
knowing How to speak English or what to say to reporters, |
know this fs the greatest day of my life,’” said Lemieux, who
at 23 is already the Penguins’ leading career scorer

“I've worked all my life to get where I am right now. I
hope to play another five to 10 years and hopefully this
won’t be my last contract with the team.”

Jim Barnes.

Roussimoff, 43, who is seven feet
four inches tall and weights 540 poun
ds, was released from custody after his
manager posted $1,200 US bond late
Monday

Barnes said Roussimoff became up-
set. when Ben Hildebrandt, a
cameraman for Cedar Rapids
television station KCRG, was taking
videotape during a match between
Roussimoff and the Ultimate Warrior
on Monday night. The Ultimate
Warrior won in 30 seconds

“It seems to me that at 7-4 and 540,
Andre the Giant must be the ultimate
warrior,”’ Barnes said. ‘I wonder who
this other guy is.”

Following the match, Barnes said,
Roussimoff turned on Hildebrandt,
described by his station as less than six
feet tall and weighing about 175 poun
ds, and told the cameraman he wasn’t
supposed to film the match

Barnes said the two exchanged wor.
ds and then Roussimoff subjected the
cameraman to the wrestling hold
Hildebrandt was treated in hospital for
bruises.

“He said he’s got minor pain and his
badk hurts,"’ said KCRG assignment
editor Cindy Will. “We're going to let
him take it easy today.”

She said Roussimoff, of Stamford,
Conn., ripped control cables out of
Hildebrandt’s camera, causing $300
damage

Centre battles time and

TORONTO (CP) — The man who
tends Canada’s largest pool of infor
mation on industrial hazards and
diseases is scrambling to keep the ser-

runs out in 1992

*So many people depend on us, so
we've got to find a way of doing
it,” says Gordon Atherley, president

of the Canadian Centre for Occupa
tional Health and Safety

“*Canadians definitely find it useful
and they want us to continue.””

The Hamilton-based centre was told
this year that its $10-million-a-year
contribution from the federal gover
nment will be phased out by 1992

The announcement led to

Created by Parliament in 1978, the
centre provides free information on

needs it, including businesses, gover

Last year, the centre’s computerized
information network was used more
than 40,000 times by 1,200 organiza
tions. Another 26,000 inquiries were
made on its toll-free telephone line

Porter, a member of the centre's 39-

uses the organization's data on work
place safety to create a healthier and
safer work environment

“The need for this information is
critical,”” he said. ‘**It allows industry
to meet the law and get the backup to
know what they’re doing."’

If the centre has to slash services,
small companies will be hardest hit,
Porter said

“CAN'T AFFORD’ CUTS

“It would be slower and more inef
