TORONTO (CP) — Com- missioner Jake Gaudaur of the Canadian Football League has denied reports there is a contigency plan to shift the Grey Cup game to Toronto if it is affected by labor problems in British Columbia. Broadcast’ reports have suggested the game be moved to Toronto, site of the championship last year, for fear labor problems could hinder the game at B.C. Place Stadium in Vancouver. Gaudaur said the reports are “understandable specula- tion” and he has started logking inte aiiernauives in the event "the unthinkable” happens. John Fryer, president of the National Union of Prov- incial Government Employ- ees, told reporters Saturday that if the Canadian Football League's Grey Cup, sched- uled for Vancouver Nov. 27, is forced to be played in Toronto because of the prov- incial strike, Operation Sol- een WIGHTMAN CUP -idarity would likely ‘h the Ontario Federation of Labor about the possibility of picketing the game there to support provincial employees in B.C. Fryer made the comments after noting that the national union has pledged more than $83 million in donations and interest-free loans to the B.C. Government Employees Union. The labor problems in B.C. _ Government Em- ployees Union went on strike in opposition to provincial government plans for cutting the civil service. B.C. Place Stadium is pro- vincially owned and there are fears that if the strike con- tinues, workers will walk out vi in the game.’ Gaudaur said: “It would be irresponsible to be aware of a possibility, however remote, that the unthinkable would happen and we would be un- able to play there, to not at least consider alternatives.” Gaudaur did not want to get involved in speculation about shifting the Grey Cup me. “We have not felt it nec- essary to atlvance any plan ON THE MARK . . .

It makes me want to work.” After winning the second game, Nierhoff jumped out of a 8-1 lead in the final game. Then, with the score at 7-5 for Nierhoff they turned the service over eight times and both started to show the ef- fect of the long game and hot television lights. At that point Sidek started to come on. “He (Nierhoff) was beginning to look very tired and I was starting to get my confidence.” He took control at 7-7 and from then on only the final score was in doubt. Sports Hut edges Green Machine By CasNews Staff Steve Simonen's hattrick led Mountain Sports Hut toa 6-5 win over the Green Ma- chine Thursday in Castlegar Commercial Hockey League action. The Green Machine led 2-0 after one period, and was down one goal, 4-3 after two periods. Other goalscorers for the Sports Hut included Brian Verigin, Ken Gorkoff and Dan Walker, with the winner. Terry Strelioff scored two of the five Green Machine markers, with singles going to David Susanna, Terry Halisheff and Gerry Tomlin.

Navratilova broke Durie's serve in the third game of the first set to take a 2-1 lead and broke again in the final game. Durie failed to score a point in the eighth and ninth games. In the second set, Durie broke Navratilova in the first ;game and went ahead 2-0 by holding her serve. But Navratilova, after double-faulting twice, held her serve in the third game. F Navratilova pulled even by breaking Durie in the fourth game and took a 4-2 lead with another break in the sixth game. They served out from there. Shriver, No, 2 on the U.S. team and ranked sixth in the world, took 40 minutes to defeat Barker, Britain’s No. 2 player who is ranked 60th. Barker had injured her Achilles’ tendon Friday night when the British won their only match, a doubles victory by Barker and Virginia Wade over Americans Candy Reynolds and Paula Smith, 7-5, 3-6, 6-1.. RELIED ON SERVE Shriver, who relied on a powerful serve in defeating Durie on.Friday night, 6-8, 6-2, used her serve again to overwhelm Barker, making five service winners and two aces. Barker was plagued by a shaky serve and double-faulted three times. In the first set, Barker double-faulted after reaching a 30-16 lead in the.third game, and in the fifth game was unable to score a point while serving. Barker rallied in the fifth game of the second set, taking a 40-15 lead, then double-faulting to make it 40-80, before scoring the winning point. Shriver again held Barker score- less in the sixth game of the second set. The victory gave the United States a 45-10 edge in the series, which began in 1928 but was not played during the Second World War. The event is played in Britain in even years and in the United States in odd ones. + Navratilova, the top-ranked player in the world who made her first Wightman Cup appearance since becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen two years ago, defeated Barker on Thursday night, 6-2, 6-0, and No. 3 U.S. player Kathy Rinaldi won a surprisingly easy 6-2, 6-2 victory over Wade, making her 19th Wightman Cup appearance.

(AP) — Emile-Francis, the canny general manager who took heat from ‘Hartford ‘h fans and media’ wheh‘he re- leased high-scoring centre Pierre Larouche from the Whalers and got nothing in return, finally may have rea- lized what was at stake. Francis this week discov- ered a hidden clause in the trade agreement that brought Larouche to Hart- ford in a December, 1981, deal with Montreal Cana- diens. Under terms of the trade, the teams are to switch first-round picks in the 1984 National Hockey League en- try draft, and third-round choices in 1985. In addition, the Canadiens get Hartford's second-round 1984 pick. But what Francis did not realize until Tuesday was that former Hartford general manager Lary Pleau, who engineered the deal, gave the Canadiens the option of flip- flopping the 1984 choices.
