Moon takes challenge HOUSTON (AP) — Quar ball League championships and two consecutive 5,000- yard passing seasons with Edmonton Eskimos to accept a challenge in the National Grey Cup champion Eskimos to the winless Oilers, 0-5, has been frustrating for Moon but it’s not the toughest per. iod of his football career. His college career at Uni versity of Washington still holds that distinction. “I think in college it was tougher for me because there was a lot of criticism about me,” Moon said. “I came in and beat out a favorite up there and I got a lot of booing because things weren't going well. “So it was a lot tougher then because I was only 18 years old at the time. But now I'm more mature and if d to lose at the same “Things have a way of working out as long as you're patient and never lose sight of what you know you can do.” Moon now hopes that he and Houston coach Hugh Campbell, his coach in the CFL, will be able to con- tribute to turning the Oilers’ around. “I recognized tht it was going to be a very difficult job,” Campbell said. “When I took the job I didn't have our quarterback (Moon) so I was prepared for anything.” But even with Moon calling the signals, the Oilers have pace as in the past. Houston is 3-29 over the “L thought we'd have at least .a couple ef wins by now,” Moon said. “I knew it was going to be tough when I came here and that was the thing that kind of made me want. to come here. Moon accepts part of the blame for the Oilers’ slow start but he sees a need of improvement for the entire team. “Tve looked at myself and I've wondered if it's been me,” Moon said. “But I had a chance to look at the game from, the sideline this past game because I wasn't feel- ing that well. “I saw some things that were still happening out there even though J waan't in the game. Those are some of Steelers, Payton's? Try television. Payton plays im Chicago, the in the United States, but for a team that has been mediocre at best during ntost of his career.

Compare these figures. In Payton’s nine-years plus five games, the Bears have appeared on ABC's Monday Night Football a total of nine times. And they've been in two playoff games. Harris, meanwhile, has played in 19 Monday night games, 11 playoff games, and four Super Bowls — 34 games, all teleVipeg nationally. HELPED BLEIER In fact, the luek of the draft often can make one man a star, another a footnote. As a corollary to the Steelers’ exposure, for example, the national spotlight also shone on Rocky Bleier, Harris’s running mate in the backfield. Bleier was an excellent complement to Harris, but his skills probably were no greater than 40 other NFL running backs of the same era. “Imagine where Payton would be with a supporting After expanding to 18 teams from 12 in its second year, the USF seems ready to consolidate to 14 or 12 for its third season, * Leonard Coleman, a first- Colts, and Mossy Cade, San Diego's first-round choice, Cade is reported to be getting $2.2 million over four years, which would make him the second-highest paid defensive back (behind Ronnie Lott of San Francisco 49ers) in football. The Express, like Oklahoma, Oakland, Arizona and Los Angeles is looking for an owner, partner, and, or a home. Eddie Einborn's Chicago team is talking about playing in Honolulu; there's talk about Pittsburgh merging with Jacksonville; Philadelphia still is negotiat- ing with the city while announcing its intefition to go'to Baltimore in 1986, and the Washington-Miami franchise apparently has found a home in Orlando. As for reversing the decision to play during the fall, several USFL owners acknowledge that the reviews were almost all negative — from press, fans, public officials and, most important, ABC. As of now, there's no television contract and it’s a tough market — college and pro football already are clogging the fall. NEW TAX SYSTEM = Minor hockey attacked OTTAWA (CP) — What began as an apparent attack on the non-profit status of minor hockey associations across the country may boil down to a misinterpretation of the Income Tax Act. It all started with the Nepean Minor Hockey Asso- ciation filing its’ tax return last winter on income from association investments and tivities of about 1,800 reg- istered players. In no time at all, the Can- adian Amateur Hocket Asso- ciation and the Sports Fed- eration of Canada were drawn to the concerns of both Nepean and the Ottawa Dis- triet Hockey Association, worried about possible rami- fications shomld nat, only. hoc- ciation were to fall under that . . . because the income is used for community activities and things of that nature. “I would tend to think that the Nepean Hockey Associ- ation would be a non-profit organization and it wouldn't be subject to tax. Right off the top, I would think some- one has ag Either the wrong form was “All amateur sports across the country could be affected. T'm expecting that we'll get a sympathetic ear.” The sympathetic ear turn- ed out to be that of Joe Hartwick at the district tax- ation office.

He said in Chicago he'll meet with Weaver once the World Series has concluded but isn’t about to pay him a king’s ransom to join the Na tional League baseball club. “Anytime you have a person of his stature avail able, you certainly can't dis miss it,” Cook said. “(But) you have to ascertain how much anybody is worth to a club.” Weaver is working as a color commentator on ABC's telecasts of the NL playoffs between Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres. The Expos have been look ing for a permanent manager since Aug. 27 when Bill Vir- don resigned. Fanning, vice. president of player person- nel, ran the team for the rest of the season. On Friday, two more names were added to the rumor mill. The Pittsbargh the first $2,000 of investment ineome, but liable to taxation on any amount over that.

The newspaper says the Expos are “making a spirited bid” for Tanner by offering outfielder Mike Fuentes and first baseman-outfielder Mike Stenhduse. Expos right-hander Steve Rogers may also be involved, it adds. ASKED ON However, Pirates spokes. man Ed Wade said he asked Pittsburgh general manager Harding Peterson about the report and “he said there was nothing at all to it.” “To the best of my know. ledge, I plan on managing the Pittsburgh Pirates next year,” Tanner told the news. paper. “The reason I don't want to leave here is because the ownership and the gen eral manager are great.” Tanner, 55, is the 27th winningest manager in base- ball. But his Pirates finished last in the National League East this season with a rec- ord of 75-87 — 21's games behind the Cubs. The Pirates obtained Tan. ner in a rare trade for a man. ager.

He stayed a year but left feeling uncomfortable. “I thought we needed something that was remedial, something that gets people before they end up on skid row,” he said. “In ‘69 we started a drop-in on Yonge Street with the idea that we're not just called to feed, clothe and bed down people but also to show them that they are important, to cha llenge them, to not rob them of their dignity by giving things to them.

In 1976, hf started a drop-in centre for post-psy ciatric patients. “A large number of mental patients were ousted from hospitals in the middle "70s," he said. “So many people with mental problems were coming to the other drop-in that we couldn't cope. They really had no place that would take them in.” Today, MacDonald is at the heart of a little community that includes a dropin for ex-mental patients, downtown Toronto residen: ces, a retreat house on Geor gian Bay and two outlets that sell used goods to the poor.

Truth hard HAMILTON (CP) — Doe tors are reluctant to tell their patients cold, hard facts about treatments because “they know if they tell the truth, patients won't take their pills,” says Dr. Robert Mendelsohn, self-styled “medical heretic.” Sales of birth-control pills dropped 30 per cent after warning labels were added to pill packages, Mendelsohn said in a speech to Pioneer Women, a volunteer group which provides social ser. vices and education in Israel and Canada. And prescriptions for val ium plummeted after a book was written exposing the tranquillizer's dangers, he said, crediting the book with curing doctors of their notion that “women have a con genital valium deficiency.” Doctors also generally don't tell women the inci. dence of depression is eight times‘as high after lysterec tomy as it is after gall bladder surgery, or that 40 per cent of hysterectomy pa. tients never resume sexual intercourse, Mendelsohn charged “And I'd like to tell you something about the history of hysterectomies, too,” he said. “Historically, it was done to make women more docile and compliant — like spaying your cat or dog.” WRITES BOOKS Mendelsohn, an Illinois pe- diatrician, is the author of three books attacking medi cal orthodoxy: Confessions of a Medical Heretic, Maleprac tice and most recently, How To Raise a Healthy Child . In Spite of Your Doetor. He said he began writing in 1969 by extracting articles from medical journals and writing them for the general public, so they could learn about dangers doctors weren't telling them. His medical heresy began, he admitted, when he rea- lized the high incidence of cancer among the offspring of women to whom he had pres- cribed DES (diethyl stilbes- trol). He challenged doctors who seem to think of breastfeed. ing as “a minor sexual devi ation. Few doctors tell women who inquire about whether they should breastfeed facts that are well-known in the medical profession, he said. The incidence of sudden in. fant death syndrome is 20 times highet among bottle. fed babies, the amount of lead in infant formula is 20 times higher than in breast milk and formulas are defici ent in an enzyme crucial to brain development, Mendel sohn said. “But what does the doctor tell you? He says, ‘Breast feeding is better, but formula is just 48 k0d,” which is my favorite example of pediatric = Mendelsohn also accused Children by home LONDON, ONT.

And don’t bother asking your doctor then if you can manage your condi tion with nutrition because he doesn't know the answer. He doesn't know anything about nutrition.” Similarly, doctors continue to support vaccinations by telling people they'll get dreaded diseases without them, Mendelsohn said “Polio vaccine is always given credit for the disap pearance of the polio epidem ies of the '40s and ‘50s. But doctors don't tell you it also disappeared in Europe where there weren't mass vaccin ations.
