On Friday night in Trail, Seattle won 5-3. — CasNews Photo by Phil Colderbonk By DAVE GOLDBERG ie Associated Press A police car pulled up to the edge of Minnesota Vikings’ practice field. A. moment later, head coach Bud Grant walked over to Ted Brown, a running back for the National Football League team. “The police want to see you; they want to see you right away,” Grant said. Brown, still in uniform, reported to the cops, was frisked and taken away. A few minutes later Brown was back, another victim ofa prank by Grant, the Vikings’ new-old coach who likes to"keep his men loose: : The joke, it turned out, was on San Francisco 49ers. Three days later, Brown ran 10 yards for the winning touchdown against the Super Bowl champions. —- Grant, the Canadian Football League Hall of Famer whose frigid stare — Ice Eyes they called him — was magnified by the television cameras as he coached the Vikings into four Super Bowls, is back at Minnesota. He replaced Les Steckel and his Marine-like discipline and suddenly the Vikings are having fun — and winning. The two seem to go hand in hand. “We're excited about playing football now,” line- backer Scott Studwell said after the Vikings, whose 3-13 record a year ago included a 51-7 loss to San Francisco, shocked the champs 28-21. RIGHT MAN “What's the difference?” asked defensive end Doug Martin. “You just said.it: Bud Grant.” San Francisco guard Randy Cross said, “There's no comparison with this year’s Vikings and the team we played last year. Bud Grant is back “They were completely discouraged (last year). They may have a lot of the same guys out there, but this is a different group.” A year ago, Grant was just beginning what he thought was a well earned retirement after a career in the CFL with Winnipeg Blue Bombers, and four Grey Cups, and his stint with the Vikings starting in 1967. Except that Steckel, Grant's hand-picked successor, wasn't up to the task of guiding Minnesota. Steckel also made some surprising personnel moves. In one, he shifted John Michels, Grant’s longtime friend and ive line coach, to backfield coach. Back came Grant — and Grant's methods — and back went Michels to the offensive line. It’s no coincidence the only sack against Minnesota last Sunday came when quarterback Tommy Kramer tripped over running back Darrin Nelson. There were also_personnel changes. Veterans like Fred McNeil, Charlie Johnson, Tom Hannon and John Swain were cut to make way for rookies — an uncharacteristic move by a coach who has always preferred to stay with veterans. MORE RELAXED But most important is the atmosphere at Eden Prairie, where the Vikings practise. Up-tight has become low-key — no one could imagine Steckel pulling a prank like the one Grant pulled on Brown — and there was little apprehension about starting the season against a team that had outscored the Vikings 99-24 in their last two meetings. “I can’t be concerned about what the 49ers are going to do,” Grant said two days before the game. “I can only be concerned about what we're going to do.” ~LOCAL-GLUB COMPETES AT WASA.. | The Western Canadian Or- ienteering Championships were held north of Wasa Lake on’ the Labor Day weekend. The two-day, total time event drew more than _ 130 people of all ages from Western Canada, the U.S. and Great Britain.

James is from Great Britain. He is in the top ten in age category (men 45 and over). se man He complimented the or- ganizers on the quality of the event-and-the site, comparing them-to those in Scandinavia, the birthplace of the sport. He noted that ‘similar events in his homeland would attract close to 5,000 people today, compared to a few hundred in the mid-1960s. He also noted that the course lenghts in Europe are about 50 per cent longer than those in Canada, due to the better quality” and larger. sized maps produced there. He felt that the sport was off toa good start in Canada, and the local club should grow rapidly. as people become award of the pleasures and challenges orienteering off- ers. Other participants came from California, Oregon, Washington, Manitoba, Al- berta (about 35) and British Columbia (about 70). There are no. orienteering clubs in Saskatchewan. A clinic was sbeld on each day just before the event for newcomers to the sport.” The Kootenay Orienteer- ing Club will be running the orienteering section of the 1986 B.C. Summer Games, which will be held in Cran- brook. Work is now’ under- way on the production of a map of the southern boun- dary of the city. .
