214 Soccer Saints showing signs of improvement W@ Selkirk College squad working on familiarization N Although they didn’t exact- ly come marching in, the Selkirk College Saints soccer team did take a couple steps forward this weekend. Coming off a season-open- ing 6-0 loss to Washington’s Gonzaga Uni- versity last weekend, the Saints trav- elled to Spokane Sat- urday for their first road game against Spokane Bob Gurney Céemmunity—— College. And though they managed to get on the board, the Saints came out on the losing end of a 6-1 decision. Coach Bob Gurney said the unfamiliarity problem that plagued his squad against was still a problem. “It was basically the same situation we got caught in last Week,” he said. “We still have to get know each other.” And getting to know each other was something the Saints’ Craig McGarry and Er- ic Gramigni did in the first Trailing 3-0, Gurney said Gramigni brought the visitors to within two after heading home a nifty cross from Mc- garry. “It was a spectacular goal,” he said. “Nobody even blinked.” But the thrill of closing the gap was short lived, as the home team scored once more to take a 4-1 lead into the half, and came out to score two more in the second half for the 6-1 victory. Gurney said he saw im- provement in the Spokane game, and thinks he will see even more when some impor- tant players join the team for a game against loops’ Uni- versity College Cariboo Satur- y- “We're still missing a few key players,” he said, “so hope- fully we'll have them up in Kamloops.” Pensioners finish their season at Christina Lake Bud Lowther NEWS CONTRIBUTOR On Sept. 3, 53 pensioners played the back nine at the lo- cal course for low net scores, with Nelson’s Bud Cooper as our guest. winners were Nick Bondaroff, Kare Gjennestead, Ken Price, George Crosley, Bill Shay, John Moran, Char- lie Christiansen, Art Lewis, Lawrence Paul, Al Laranko, John Ekroos and Bill Oleski. On Sept. 10, 140 pensioners from Christina Lake, Colville, Trail, Nelson and Castlegar gathered at the Christina Lake golf course for an 18-hole tourney. The weather was good with a feeling of autumn in the air. The course was in great shape and so was the hospitality. I especially remember the food which was the best that I have had for a long time. The winning low gross team was that of Christina’s Oscar Johnson, B. York, H. Sanders and Castlegar’s Tom Wilson. The winning low net team ‘Rossland’s Trail’s R. Lawer on No. 10 and Castlegar’s Otto Walker on No. 17. Johnson had the best low gross with a 78, three better than George Crosley’s 81. The best low net score'was a 69 by Rossland’s Joe Brelli. Pat Semenoff of the host club won $69 in a 50-50 draw. If you shot a golf ball into the water they gave you one back. This was a novel idea, which paid off for me. It was our last tournament of the year and truly a day to remember. Correction: Zeke Clements was low gross runner-up to Jake Koenig on Aug. 27 witha 43.

JOKE OF THE WEEK A young couple getting to know each other said the fol- lowing: He: I have to tell you that I am a golfer. She: [have to tell you that I am a hooker. He: That is no problem, just close your stance and change your grip.

On one side was Spike, the big grey bulldog who was al- ways having problems with the guy on the other side, Sylvester the Cat. The second week of the Trail Flag Football League pitted the visiting Trail Bull- dogs against the Castlegar Kats, both teams looking for their second win in as many games. But only one team would stand undefeated after the game and, like the cartoons, the bulldog emerged victori- ous. “We came out early and that’s how we won the game,” Bulldogs’ Gord Harding said of the 20-12 win. “We caught them off guard.” The Bulldogs chased the Kats for most of the first half, getting two touchdowns from running back Dwayne Mc- Donnell and one from Ed Canzian to take a 19-0 lead in- to halftime.

But the two teams still had half a game ahead of them, and Harding said the "Dogs were a little too content to sit on their lead. “We just played a little too defensively and it almost cost us the game,” he said.

Mates’ Dave Loukianow said the return of quarterback esse McDougal boosted his squad. “We had our No. 1 quarter- back back. That was the main difference,” he said. “Without him in the lineup, we usually don’t fare so well.” Don Droucker paced the winners with two touchdowns, while Dave Petes had a couple in a losing cause for the Hawks. The league will showcase it- self this weekend with Super Sunday, a day where all four teams will be in action with a pass and kick competition in between games at Trail’s Ha- ley Park.
