RECORD BUDGET TOO More horse races in Spokane Thirty-two stakes races with a record $251,000 bud- get will be presented during the 10l-day 1985 Playfair thoroughbred horse racing season May 1 through Oct. 21. It’s the most handicap events ever offered in the 49 seasons of the five-furlong Spokane track. The stakes schedule, announced by Ra- cing Secretary Norm Amund- son Jr., includes two new events — the Sophomore Classic for three-year-old colts and geldings racing a mile and 70 yards Aug. 25 and the Brief Grief for two- year-old fillies racing six and one half furlongs Sept. 8. Highest gross purses will be in the two-year-old divi- sion, led by the Spokane Fu- turity, a mile-and-70-yard test for Washington-bred youngsters Oct. 6. This year’s $15,000-added Futur- ity will have an estimated gross purse of $61,000, just short of last year's record $61,640 Futurity. Nomination and starting fees account for the bulk of the purse. Amundson said he expects gross purses of around $40,000 each for the $15,000- added Juvenile Mile-Hers for two-year-old fillies Sept. 21 and the $15,000-added Juven- ile Mile-His for two-year-old colts and geldings Sept. 22. That's nearly double the gross purse for each event in 1984. In addition, both the Juv- enile Mile-Hers and Juvenile Mile-His will carry $7,500 in Breeders’ Cup money — part of $29,000 in Breeders’ Cup funds allotted to Playfair. Offering $7,000 each in Bree- ders’ Cup funds will be the 78th running of the Spokane Derby at a mile and 1/8 Sept. 29 and the 40th running of Todd afternoon Ladies’ winners of Tuesday curling were Sophie Janicki, Glenna Ak- hi selson, Liz Darnbrough, and Second Olga place went to Belle Gray, Helen Clay, Leslie Johanson and Shelley Van Yzerloo.

Added money for both the Derby (three-year-olds) and the Playfair Mile (three-year- olds and older) has been in- creased to a record $17,500 this year. The Juvenile Mile races, the Spokane Derby and the Playfair Mile are all unrestricted and represent the top stakes races in each age group. This year’s meet will begin 6:15 p.m. Wednesday, May 1, with an opening-night 10-race card headed by the $6,000- added Inaugural Handicap for three-year-old and older horses. Amundson noted that the Inaugural will be run at six furlongs this year after being contested at four fur- longs in 1984 because of the early April 6 opening. Amundson added that the later starting date will elim inate the necessity of most of the’ ‘half-mile sprifits pre Second wereMichelle Roberts, Karen Pope, Janie Phipps and Ver- the Oglow tournament were Michelle Roberts, Jeanne Lamb and Perehudoff.

Second place went to John Dunn, Phyllis Bleier, Len Bleier and Joan Dunn. valent in the early weeks of the 1984 meet. Though three days shorter than last year’s longest-ever 104-day season, this will be the second-longest meet in the Spokane’s track's history. First post times throughout the season will be 6:15 p.m. on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, with a 1:30 p.m. starting time Sundays and holidays. There'll also be 1:30 p.m. first post times on Saturday when wagering is offered on the Triple Crown events — the Kentucky Der- by May 4, the Preakness May 18 and the Belmont June 8. On those days the Triple Crown classics will be simul- cast as the third event of an 1l-race program. “The record stakes budget of $251,000 is 9.4 per cent higher than last year’s pre- vious high budget of $229,500," Amundson said. New Ti-Cat coach HAMILTON (CP) — Ham- ilton Tiger-Cats announced the appointment Tuesday of John Salavantis as offensive line coach, completing the Canadian Football League team’s coaching staff for the 1985 season. Salavantis, a native of North Adams, Mass., had been an assistant coach at Garden City Community Col- lege in New Jersey since 1983. From 1980 to 1982, he was on the staff at Missouri Southern University. In addition to Salavantis, head coach Al Bruno's staff for "85 will consist of: Mike Faragalli, offensive back field; Rich Stubler, defensive backfield; and Ted Schmitz, defensive line. Stubler and Schmitz are holdovers from last season. The Ticats also announced the signing of free-agent slotback Wayne Lee. He will be entering his third season with the club after an inter- collegiate career as a defen- sive back with University of New Brunswick Panthers and University of Ottawa Gee Gees.

He had just lost his right leg above the knee to bone cancer and after 12 months of debilitating chemotherapy, his doctors gave him only two years to live. For Chew, who describes the loss of his leg as an event that changed his outlook on life, the question was: How do I squeeze some danger and excitement into the time I have left? The answer was downhill skiing. “That's one reason I got involved in it because I was not very optimistic about my future,” said Chew, 33. Chew, who trains onWhistler Mountain, marked yet another accomplishment last weekend by winning the downhill event in the U.S. National Disabled Ski Cham. pionships in Breckenridge, Col., edging out Swedish ski star Ule Rolander. Chew now is ranked as one of the top five downhill skiers in the world in his disability category. And he is alréady aiming to take the all-around title at the 4th amputee skiers use regular ski poles, Chew is still wrestling with the idea of changing. “T've skied more than 100 times a year in the past six years with outriggers. I have used them for so long that I've built up a mental dependence,” says Chew, who was born in Blackburn, England, and came to Canada with his family when he was five. During the past ski season on Whistler, he has been trying to wean himself away from outriggers. But with his recent victory over Rolandek — who doesn't use outriggers — he's not so sure any more. Skiing without outriggers would make him more aerodynamic, but Chew finds that when the hill rolls away from him and he’s using poles, he comes out of his tuck — an error that can cost a downhiller crucial tenths of seconds in a race. So while he’s mulling a change-over to poles, Chew is concentrating on two goals: breaking the world speed record and improving his times in the slalom and giant slalom. were represented at tournament, coming from Anchorage, Alaska, Spokane, Sweden.

World Winter Games for the Disabled next year in As well, Chew and the best physically disabled and blind skiers in the country are at the Sunshine ski resort near Banff for the start of the Canadian National Disabled He is cautious about predicting another downhill win at Sunshine. Mit of the top disabled skiers will be there including Rolander, who holds the world speed-skiing record at 170 kilometres an hour, and the 28-member Chew, like most disabled skiers with the loss of a leg above the knee, skis on outriggers, mini-skis attached to poles that are used for balance. Although most top Last month on Whistler, Chew entered his first speed-skiing event and flew down The Headwall at a speed of 132.355 kilometres an hour — only 11 kilometres an hour less than the winner. Chew also finished fourth in giant slalom and sixth in slalom at Breckenridge and he realizes that to take the best all-around skier category, he will have to improve his showings in those events. To reach his goals, Chew will have to maintain his tough training program. He skis up to 100 days a season. During the summer, he cycles 40 to 60 kilometre: As well, he works out with weights two hours three days a week. day. day, Hussey likes confusion By JOHN MacKINNON The Canadian Press A lot of coaches stress keeping things simple, but Wayne Hussey, head coach of Canada’s national women's basketball team, believes in creative confusion and it seems to work. Hussey teams have won championships at the colle- giate, university and inter. provincial levels. Now Hus- sey has a four-year contract as the first full-time coach of the national women's team. He plans to use creative confusion to keep Canada among the top four basket- ball powers in the world. Hussey is in the midst of a cross-Canada talent hunt, a series of evaluation camps from which 32 players will be culled for a May 15 national team tryout session in Ot- tawa. Half that number will comprise the national team al play in its summer schedule, which includes the Jones Cup tournament in Taiwan, a tournament in Bulgaria and the World Uni takes in judo nine and 10-year-old super heavyweight division. Dem- oskoff didn't place in the tournament, but won one of out of three matches in the 11 and 12-year-old division. A total of 28 judo clubs the Seattle, and Montana, Cran- Maloff placed second in the brook and Grand Forks. versity Games in Japan. Once the team is picked, Hussey can put his methods to work. “My teams have been fair. ly smart as far as knowing what we wanted to do and how to go about it,” said Hussey in a telephone inter. view from St. John’s, Nfid., where he was evaluating players. “I always try to get them to understand the game.” In seven seasons as coach of Bishop's Lady Gaiters, Hussey’s players understood things well enough to win the Quebec University Athletic Association title all those Kobe, years. The final two seasons he coached at Bishop's, Hus- sey’s Lady Gaiters were also Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union champions. His teams likely weren't the best-conditioned, nor nec: essarily the most talented. They may have been the smartest. “He developed my game 110 per cent, he made me play smart,” said Andrea Blackwell, a national team member who played under Hussey at Bishop's and has succeeded him as coach at the Lennoxville, Que. school. Hussey believes his play- ers should have to think as well as run, pass and shoot. “As coaches, we tend to work people's bodies a lot — make ‘em run, work ‘em hard,” Hussey said. “It’s al. ways the body we're pushing to the limit. “I probably don’t work the body as much as I work the players’ minds. Which is where creative confusion comes in. Hussey has been practising his coaching theories since his college playing days in the early 1970s. He coached the junior varsity team at Loyola College (now part of Concordia University) while he was a slick-passing, good shooting guard for the var- sity Warriors.

The source for the num- a bers is The Spy. There are no negative con- notations to the term. As used by generations of golf's touring pros, the title implies acceptance and affection. It's been handed down — over the last half-century, over hundreds of golf cour- ses and thousands of profes- sional tournament players and millions of miles — from Eddie Darrel to his widow, Virginia, to her successor, Susan Naylor. Susan and her brother, John Minkley, are on (or near) the tee at about 50 golf tournaments a year. And, while they're not an official they're familiar figures to the game's tourists, recognized vorites — by almost all, close friends to many. “T've cut their hair, hem med their pants, minded their kids,” Susan said. Their job involves making detailed checks of the equip- ment used by pros and ama- teurs. The checks usually are on the clubs and balls. But, at times, they've been asked for — and produced — figures on the use of various brands of visors, grips, shafts, shoes, socks, bags, sweaters, gloves. From these raw figures come voluminous statistics that make up the Darrel Golf Survey. “It started back in the ‘30s, when Eddie, just like the pros, was out there scram- bling for a living,” Susan said. From the scribbled notes the dour little Eddie kept in the days of the Great De- pression, and attempted to peddle to manufacturers, the business has grown into the most respected source of de- tailed information about the use — not the sale, but the actual use — of varoius brnad brands of golf equipment. Matthews looks to the future By GRANT KERR The Canadian Press British Columbia Lions head coach Don Matthews is a person who dwells in the future without looking over his shoulder. Last fall's loss to Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the title game for the West ern Division championship hasn't altered his outlook on the approaching Canadian Football League season. “We all went into a mild depression after the Winni peg game,” Matthews says about the stunning 31-14 loss to the second-place Bombers, who went on to capture the Grey Cup. “It didn't last long and now we're more deter: mined than ever to achieve something we feel we should have had last year. “There's a feeling of re newed intensity among the coaching staff and players. Everyone's anxious to get going. We can't wait to re deem ourselves. We want to be in the Grey Cup game in 1985.” The loss to Winnipeg, two weeks after the Lions wrap- ped up first place with a 20-3 vietory over the Bombers, will be a motivating factor this year in the approach of Matthews and his coaching staff. Matthews has been the Lions’ head coach for two years following six seasons as a successful defensive coach in Edmonton. He's accus- tomed to winning. The Eski mos Were in six straight Grey Cup games while he was in the Alberta capital and they won five consecutive cham pionships before he left. The Lions have finished first in the CFL West in both years under Matthews's pati ent guidance.

Susan says a typical pro's bag would contain a Ping putter, Titleist balls, a Tay- lor-made metal wood, a Mac- Gregor driver and either Hogan, Wilson or Ping irons. That is an overall, numer- ical preference only, she said. Some leading players favor something entirely different.

The Canadian Press — Wendel Clark and Dan Hodgson, junior hockey rivals last two years, could find themselves combining their ‘The Leafs drafted Hodgson, a centre, in 1983 and, with he first pick overall this year, are reported ready to select Clark, a defenceman turned forward. Neither one’is the messiah the Leafs are seeking to lead y. But they are a copule of honest, Hodgson, captain of Prince Albert Raiders, is spectacular offensive threat with proven leadership abilities. But the 20-year-old lacks size — five-foot-10 and 175 pounds — and speed. Clark, 18, has major league speed, a National Hockey League shot and, at five-foot-11 and 190 pounds, loves the rough going. ‘Terry Simpson, who coaches Hodgson in Prince Albert and who handled both players on Canada’s world junior championship team this year, says Clark is not yet a complete hockey player. “Talent wise, there isn't any question he's there . . . but I think the idea is to draft him now and transform him into a hockey player.” STILL LEARNING Which is to say Clark is only 18 years old and still learning. Saskatoon coach Marcel Comeau says Clark, who had 32 goals and 87 points in 64 games this season, could play in the NHL today. “He's the leader of our team. He's a hard worker. He has good work habits and sets a god example.” Clark is a rushing defenceman but may have to make it asa left winger. He played that position for Team Canada — scoring the tying goal against Czechoslovakia that gave Canada the gold medal — and the last 10 games of the season for Saskatoon. “| prefer defence but I'll play forward if I have to,” he says. “What I want is to play hockey. I don’t care who dri fts me. I just want to get up there and see if I can play Hodgson will have to buck recent history to make it as a regular in the NHL. Of the players who finished 1-2 in WHL scoring the last five seasons, only Ray Ferraro and Doug Wickenheiser have become NHL regulars. But that doesn't bother Hodgson, who finished second in scoring and first in assists each of the last two seasons. He had 70 goals and 182 points this season. “['m optimistic,” he says. “I think I have a good chance.” Hodgson matured this season, maintaining his offensive output while ping into a more I player and r ing positively to i i . He’s also to juniors hoping a weight program this summer will build his weight 180. If the Legfs are patient with Hodgson, and provide him relate to the Leafs’ plight. When he and the Raiders joined the Western Hockey League three seasons back, they had a record even worse than this year’s Leafs — 16-55-1. But Hodgson provided the leadership, the offence and the example that helped turn the Raiders into the No. 1 team in the WHL in just three seasons. Both youngsters like the idea of going to Toronto — Redmond, who after graduating from the University of Denver wrote the Leafs prior to last summer's entry draft and said he would refuse to sign with unlike defenceman Craig the club if drafted. It's also worth mentioning that the people in Saskatoon noted with not much amusement that the Leaf braintrust was looking to one of its boys to help turn around the club's fortunes. Leaf owner Harold Ballard tried to make the province the laughing stock of Canada — just to prevent Bill Hunter from moving the St. Louis Blues franchise to Saskatoon two years ago. Ironic, isn't it?

Last season, B.C. finished ahead of Winnipeg with an 11-3-1 record before the Bombers lowered the boom in the playoffs. “We're not going to make wholesale changes this year just for the sake of change,” Matthews says. “There's al ways outside pressures to change, but we will change only out of necessity.” His strategy is to throw the football as a “prime wea pon to score quickly” and control the game on defence with an “aggressive, attack ing style” designed to force turnovers. Matthews has produced two successful and entertain- ing teams. He's most proud of his defensive team, which has led the CFL both years by allowing the least number of points against. Matthews says speculation last month that he would move on to a position with Detroit Lions of the National Football League was “blown out of proportion.” “Coaches get calls every year from other teams and I'm not any different,” he says. “Some people think I was trying to get a new con tract, but the truth of the matter is that I agreed to a new contract back in Jan uary, the longest term I've ever had.” Matthews’ toughest task this year will be convincing his players B.C. already has the components of a cham pionship team, based on 22 regular-season victories over the last two seasons.
