McMurphy, who was the 28,000-member federation’s first vice-president for the last two years, said she hopes she is the “first in a long line” of women presi. dents. She succeeds Pat Clarke, a 37-year-old Kelow na teacher. MecMurphy defeated Rich mond teacher Margaret Woodlands on the first ballot, by 421-231.

MeMurphy said she did not think that being a woman president would have an im ediate impact on the fed. eration. “But I hope it will signal to many of our members, both men and women, the fact that there is a desire to see more women involved,” she said. Increasing the participa tion of women in the feder ation is not an easy task, said MeMurphy, who has three children. “There are still a wide range of social conditions that militate against the in volvement of women in lead ership positions,” she said “Our society still expects women to carry a number of burdens.” She said she hopes the fed eration might help change society by leading the way with ways of supporting women as leaders, such as day care, homemaker pen sions and seniority rights for women on leave. ue BUCKLE UP!

Tom Carew, a Grade 12 student, plays for Notre Dame Hounds’ AA Midget hockey team which did not league. Tom's team is heavily favored to win the hip, however, in the South final of the SAHA but won three AA Midget tournaments, namely Estevan, Weyburn and Nipawin, Sask. where they walked off with three gold medals. \ Dennis Messier, Tom's coach capsuled this 17-year- old defenseman's progress this year. “Tom is a big rangy defenceman with a good shot from the point who provides our team with a good physical presence,” he said. “Tom is enthusiastic and enjoys playing the game which rubs off on our other players. He has a good shot from the point.” Tom's brother, Colin, is a Grade 11 student and a member of another Notre Dame Hound AA Midget team which played in the Regina City Boys League, finishing fourth and compiling a record of 22 wins, nine losses and five ties. In SAHA playoffs, the Midget AA Hounds beat .. enthusiastic player Moose Jaw the first round but were eliminated by the Regina Royals in the second of a two-game total point series.

Among the victims were Pascual Perez and Len Barker of Atlanta, Ray Burris of Milwaukee, Bill Dawley of Houston and Ray Fontenot of Chicago Cubs. Also axed was infielder-outfielder Terry Francona, one of six players cut by Montreal Expos as the National League club reduced its roster to 27. Francona, pitcher John Stuper, catcher Ned Yost and infielder Ivan DeJesus were released outright, while pitcher Randy St. Claire and infielder Rene Gonzales were sent to Montreal's minor-league team in Indianapolis Teams had until noon Tuesday to release players without having to pay their full salaries. With opening day a week away, the Braves waived 11 players, including right-handed starters Perez and Barker, and relievers Terry Forster and Rick Camp. Another six players were sent to the minors. Perez, 28, was 1-13 with 6.14 earned-run average for the Braves last season, although he had pitched fairly well in spring training. Barker, 30, had a five-year, $2.85-million contract, the first three years of which were guaranteed and ran through 1986. He was 3-9 with a 6.35 ERA last year while trying to come back from shoulder surgery and a 5.40 ERA this spring. Forster, 34, had a 1.69 ERA in 10 2-3 innings this spring, while Camp, 33, had a 5.14 ERA in seven innings. NO JOB FOR NIEKRO The Braves also said they have no plans to sign Phil Niekro, the 47-year-old knuckleballer released earlier by New York Yankees who had been pitching batting practice at Atlanta's spring camp since. In Chandler, Ariz., the Brewers announced they had cut Burris, a 35-year-old right-hander who came from Oakland in 1984, and outfielder David Green. Burris was 9-13 with a 4.81 ERA last year, while Green, 25, hit .248 with San Francisco Giants. Canada 2-2 in TORONTO (CP) — Nobody can blame Ed Lukowich if he has trouble sleeping this week. His curling at the men's world championship should be giving him night mares. Lukowich and his Calgary foursome have been giving Canadian fans their best Rip Van Winkie impression through the first two days of the 10-country, round-robin competition, waking briefly Tuesday afternoon to shell Steve Brown's U.S. titlehol ders 8-1 in a matchup that lasted only four ends. Swedish veteran Stefan Hasselborg jolted the LUko Swedish veteran Stefan Hasselborg jolted the Luko- wich team in the fourth round later in the day, 7-4 — a score that flattered the Canadians. They never really got into the contest after Sweden stole one in the fourth and added two more in the fifth for a 5-0 lead. selborg, the Swedish third and younger brother of the skip. “Canada is the main country in curling and we have learned a lot from them.” The Swedish quartet has learned well. The same rink went to the semifinals in 1983 and last year lost in the championship game to Can- ada's Al Hackner. The Swedes are unde- feated after four games and sl the lead with David Smith's young Scottish rink. Jurg Tanner of Switzerland holds third place with a 3-1 mark, while Canada slipped to 2-2 with Norway and the United States. Following at 1-8 are Italy, At the Astros spring camp, Dawley, a right-hander, was offered a position with the club's minor-league affiliate in Tucson after being released. Dawley, 30, came to Houston in 1983 from Cincinnati and was 5-3 with a 3.56 ERA last year. In Mesa, Ariz, the Cubs said they had optioned Fontenot, a left-hander, to their AAA farm club at Iowa and had given utilityman Richie Hebner his outright release. Fontenot, 28, was 6-10 last year and bothered by a sore shoulder this spring. Hebner, 38, betted .217 last year, his 18th in the majors. In St. Petersburg, Fla St. Louis Cardinals said injured pitcher Danny Cox, an 18-game winner last year, would return to St. Louis on Friday to be re-examined by the team doctor. Cox chipped a bone in his right ankie Sunday and doctors originally said he could be out for two months. At the same time, the Cardinals said they had asked waivers on outfielder Brian Harper, who hit .250 last year. Among other pitchers affected by the flurry of activity Tuesday were Doug Bair, released by Cincinnati Reds; Jerry Reed, released by Cleveland Indians; Tom Gorman, cut by New York Mets; and Steve Fireovid and Pete Ladd, sent to the minors by Seattle. The Indians also said they had cut catcher Jerry Willard, apparently leaving the job to either Chris Bando or rookie Andy Allanson. Seattle also said it had cut second baseman Jack Perconte, who will be replaced by rookie Danny Tartabull, who hit 43 homers at Triple A Calgary last season. In Scottsdale, Ariz., San Francisco Giants trimmed two players from their rosters, releasing outfielder Ron Roenicke and sending relief pitcher Frank Williams to the minors. At Fort Myers, Fla., Kansas City announced it had cut shortstop Onix Conepcion, who shared starting duties last year with Buddy Biancalana. Biancalana won the starting job this year and the Royals acquired Argenis Salazar from the Mets as a backup. Kansas City gave up minor-league piteher Tony Ferreira for Salazar. world curling France and Denmark. West Germany is last at 0-4 In other fourth-round play, Scotland edged Dominique Dupont-Roe's rookie French team 4-3, Switzerland romp ed 6-1 over Roland Jentsch of West Germany, Tommy Stj erne of Denmark downed Italian veteran Andrea Pav ani 7-6 and the U.S. defeated Tormond Andreasson of Norway, 6-4. Besides the Canada-U.S. blowout in the afternoon draw, Sweden topped Den mark 7-4, Seotland bombed West Germany 7-1, Switzer. land edged Italy 4-3 and Nor way was a 10-2 winner over France. Neither Lukowich nor his rink has been curling any where near the level they achieved at the Canadian championship three weeks ago in Kitchener, Ont. With the exception of lead Brent Syme, the Canadians are blowing shots that were routine in Kitchener. Both Lukowich and third John Ferguson were hitting on only 55 per cent of their shots through five ends as the Swedes built a 5-0 lead. Ferguson finished with a 78 per cent shooting average and Lukowich was 72, but the damage done early by the two Canadians was irrepar able. “It's the same old story on this ice,” said Lukowich. “You get down two points and it’s real tough to catch up.” However, he says he's not discouraged. “Two losses at this point in time is not that much to be concerned about,” he said. “But we certainly have to start winning games. Canucks lose Brodeur CALGARY (CP) — An in- nocent play Tuesday night has clouded the playoff pros- pects for Vancouver Canucks in the National Hockey League's Smythe Division. The Canucks lost goaltend- er Richard Brodeur with a neck injury during the third period of Vancouver's 6-6 loss to Calgary Flames. It wasn't known if or when he can return. “It was an innocent play,” said Flames’ left winger John Tonelli, who fell to the ice with Brodeur and Vancouver defenceman Doug Halward in front of the Canucks’ net at 10:12 of the third period. “We just got tangled up and tripped over each other,” said Tonelli who later scored the game-winning goal against rookie Wendell Young, who replaced Bro deur. “At first, I thought he hurt his knee. When he didn’t get up right away, I started to worry.” But Tonelli likely wasn't as worried as much-as the Canucks, who are embroiled in a battle with Los Angeles Kings for the final playoff berth in the Smythe. Vancouver coach Tom Watt said Brodeur had a “sore neck and some burning in the left shoulder and arm.” He added that Brodeur, who led the Canucks to the Stanley Cup final in 1962, didn’t seem to have any neurological damage but would be too sore to play tonight against Edmonton Oilers. Watt said later the Can- ucks probably would bring in John Garrett to back up Young in the game. MAY BE RUSTY Garrett, who serves as a seout for the Canucks and has practised with the team oc casionally this season, has Blazers lead series 3-0 By The Canadian Press Kamloops Blazers seem set for a blowout in their West ern Hockey League West Division semifinal after an 11-2 victory in Seattle over the Thunderbirds Tuesday night. While the Blazers took a 3-0 lead in their best-of-nine semifinal, the other series was deadlocked at three wins each by a 6-4 Spokane Chiefs victory over Portland Winter Hawks. In the East Division round. robin, Medicine Hat and Sas. katoon each have four vic tories against one loss after the Tigers beat Moose Jaw 6-3 while the Blades won 53 over Lethbridge. “We knew they played with a lot of emotion in their building and we wanted to take away their crowd, and we did that with the early goals,” said Kamloops coach Ken Hitchcock after the Blazers em the Thunderbirds before a sold- out Seattle crowd of 4,141. “We did a little soul searching after Saturday's game (a 3-2 double-overtime win in Kamloops) and we were very ready to play tonight,” Hitchcock added. “I thought Seattle was a little too emotional in the first five minutes (during which Kamloops went ahead 20).” WHL scoring champion Rob Brown contributed three goals and three assists, while Ken Morrison scored two and assisted on three. The Blazers outshot the Thunderbirds 53-21 and led 5-0 and 7-1 by periods. The series continues Thursday at Seattle. Spokane's Grant Delcourt had his second two-goal game in a row, and Dracy Wakaluk again was solid in goal as the Chiefs deadlocked their semi. final, which continues Thurs. day in Portland Wakaluk made 43 saves, as Spokane won while being outshot 47-42.

The Canucks have 57 Winnipeg Jets — who have secured a playoff spot — and four up on Los Angeles. Vancouver has three games left in its regular season schedule while the Kings and Jets have two. “We have to regroup and go again (tonight),” said Watt. “There are no soft touches (left on the schedule) and our troops are thinning.” Last week, Vancouver lost its captain and sparkplug, Stan Smyl. Hockley While the Canucks now are worried about their goal tending, Calgary coach Bob Johnson ‘tay have « similar concern. Rejean Lemelin, who has not played well lately, ended a five-game personal losing streak with the victory. But he wasn't particularly sharp. Asked whether he will go with the veteran Lemelin or rookie Mike Vernon in the playoffs, Johnson refused comment until he had viewed the tapes of the game. Hakan Loob scored two goals, including his 30th of the season, to lead Calgary's offence. Joey Mullen, Lanny McDonald, Jim Peplinski and Tonelli added singles.
