Castlégar News March 7, 1990 SPORTS ° It's a newgame in the CRHL By CasNews Staff If the first game of the playoffs is any indication, the days of run and gun offensive shows in the Castlegar Recreational Hockey League are over. Ina league where @ combined total of 20 goals a game are commonplace, the playoffs opened last night at the Community Complex with Woodland Park Shell eking out a 5-4 win over Sandman Inn. Dan Stelck scored an empty-net goal with 1:05 remaining to clinch the victory for Shell, which had 13 players for the game — almost twice as-many as the team had for both of its last two regular-season games. Wre SAULT STE. MARIE, Ont. (CP) — Ed Werenich says he didn’t come to the Labatt Brier under the illusion he was a heavy favorite to win his second championship. . He hasn’t changed his mind, despite a perfect 6-0 record after eight rounds of the Canadian men’s curling championship. “The favorites thing doesn’t really The rest of Shell’s goals came in the first period as Dan Walker, Mal Steck, Bruno Tassone and Chris Brodman scored to give Shell a 4-2 lead after one. Sandman’s Dave Terhune opened the scoring:in the gamé with a goal from Clay Martini and Vince An- tignani 46 seconds in. After Shell tied it at one, Lorne Anderson put Sandman up again, converting a pass from Adrian Markin at the 16-minute mark. The second period was scoreless as neither team was able to capitalize on the one powerplay opportunity each had. In the third, Antignani brought nch per bear out the facts,’’ the 42-year-old fireman said after his Toronto Avonlea rink won twice Tuesday in the 12-team round-robin portion of the week-long tournament. Werenich noted he was touted favorite at the 1984 Brier in Victoria and 1981 in Halifax: He won the Canadian and world championships in 1983. £ Sandman within one, scoring from Terhune and Mitch Quaedvlieg. That's the way it stayed until the final two minutes when Sandman pulled goalie Tim Swanson for an ex- tra attacker and Steick scored. But just when you thought it was over, Anderson scored his second of the game with 50 seconds left from Markin and Terhune, but Sandman couldn't get the equalizer. The regular-season league cham- pions Hi Arrow Arms will be looking to knock Shell off the winning track when the two meet in the second game of the round-robin format playoffs, Thursday at.7:30 p.m. at the Com- plex. Sports briefs Hi Arrow offered Shell to think about going into that playoff game when the two met in the final regular season matchup at the Com- plex Monday. Doug Knowler scored twice dnd set up five others as Hi Arrow bombed Shell 9-4, preventing them from over- taking Sandman for second spot in the three-team league. Dean MacKinnon had a goal and four assists, Bob Larsh had two goals and an assist and Tony DaRosa, Bob Essaunce and Darrell Bojechko scored singles for Hi Arrow. Rod Fayant had two goals and an assist to pace Shell while Dan Stelck had three assists. ect at Brier The favorite’s role will be put to the test this afternoon against local favorite Al Harnden. Harnden, a 36-year-old local steel company office worker, saw his Nor- thern Ontario rink drop to 5-1 after a 5-3 loss Tuesday night to Jim Sullivan of Fredericton.

As for a program like SFU’s, Johnson says Selkirk was going to implement a similar one for the entire athletic department at the college, but the manpower to staff tutorials and organize the program just isn’t available. He added that the athletic program at the college has enough experienced people to help athletes avoid the trouble spots. That is if the students will make it known that they’re having diffieukties—__— "Phat’s_the_biggest_problem-sccording_to_Johneon, who says a lot of athletes will just go along and not tell anybody they are having difficulties until it’s too late. Johnson has learned to recognize warning signs. The main one is a student trying to juggle too many things at one time. “*The thing that doe: job and play sports too,’ t, is when a player has to have a he said. “You can go to school Soviet skaters and play sports or you can go to school and work, but when you try to do all three, then you’re in trouble.”” LIFELQNG REGRET Perra says it wasn’t allthat terrible to miss the first half of the season because it gave him a chance to rest some nagging injuries. But it’s a different story for Friml, whose error in the classroom could turn out to be a lifelong regret if the Saints go on to glory without him. “Theo (Friml) is crushed,’’ says Perra. ‘‘He wants to be here so bad. And you know he feels bad because it didn’t have to happen. It’s preventable. “If it was me and I was an intregral part of the team like Theo is, I would be crushed and feel I let down the team, because that’s how-you feel.’’ And it’s not just the player who has been nailed who feels bad — it’s the whole team, says Perra. “*All the players feel a little responsible,"’ he said. “Even the athletic director feels that way. It just goes from the coach all the way down to the players because we're ateam.”” tario rink to 5-1 and improved the New Brunswick team to 4-2. Tied for fourth were Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan, each 3-3. Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island and Quebec were each 2-3. British Columbia, Manitoba and the Territories were each 2-4 and Alberta, 14. The top three teams at the end of the preliminary round Friday advance to the medal round with first place getting a bye into the final on Sunday. PLAYS IT DOWN Werenich played down the role today’s game with Northern Ontario will play in deciding first place. ““We're not in the finals and neither is Northern Ontario,’’ he said. “‘From previous Brier histories, a lot happens at the end of the wee! How long they hold first position, Werenich admitted, will depend on how well they can read the ice. “John (third John Kawaja) said in practice he thought the ice was straightening,’ said Werenich. ‘I rolled out twice today in key situations. ‘We're taking two feet (of ice) for hits and making sure and it looks like a tight edge, but you've got to believe the brooms.’’ In other games Tuesday night, Alan Darragh of Dartmouth, N.S., saddled Harold Breckenridge of Calgary with a 10-3 loss; Ted MacFadyen of Crapaud, P.E.I., downed Craig Lepine of Vancouver, 8-2; Kevin Adams of Montreal edged Glenn Goss of St. John’s, Nfld., 6-5; and Edwards took an extra end for a 9-8 win over Schneider. Also on Tuesday, the Ontario rink posted a 5-2 win over Duane Edwards of Deloraine, Man., and a 7-4 victory over highly-regarded Jamie Schneider of Kronau, Sask. Werenich and Trevor Alexander of Yellowknife had the evening byes. Along with the Ontario-Saskat- chewan game in the afternoon draw, it was: Northern Ontario 10, Alberta 3; Territories 6, Quebec 5; B.C. 7, Newfoundland 3; Nova Scotia 6, P.E.I. 3. In the morning, it was: Ontario 5, Manitoba 2; and New Brunswick 7, Territories 6. B-ballers get awards Victoria Place and Kingfisher Bobcat Services didn’t win the big title but the two teams took home all the other hardware as the Trail Men’s Basketball League capped the season with an awards banquet at the Colander in Trail Saturday night. Castlegar Realty, which finished first over-all in the regular season, and Smelter Pub which won the league championship, were shut out of the individual honors but were remembered with selections to the first and second all Chad Coupland of Victoria Place was no surprise as the league’s. wiost valuable player — it’s the third time he’s won the award — and league president Ernie Rella of Victoria Place was selected as most sportsmanlike player, It was a good omen for the future for Kingfisher with Duane Donald taking rookie of the year honors and teammate Dave Cox being selected as the most improved player in the league. Kingfisher also had two members picked to the first all-star team — Steve Plaa and John Denison, while Castlegar players Brian Turlock and Wayne Tamelin also made it, Rella and Coupland were shoe-ins for the team having finished 1-2 in league scoring at 350 and 272 points respéctively. Castlegar placed two more players on the second all-star team as Wayne McCarthy and Lou Cicchetti got the honors. Smelter Pub made only appearance on the honor role the entire night with Ed Canzian and Dave Vaness,being selected to the second team while Kingfisher’s rookie winner Donald rounded out the team.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — Cork-filled bats are nothing for pit- chers to fear, there’s no such thing as a rising fastball, and ground balls don’t pick up speed bouncing over ar- tificial turf, a Yale physicist says in a book tl gives a scientist’s spin on America’s favorite pastime. “The flight of balls, the liveliness of balls, the structure of bats and the character of the collision of balls and bats are a natural province of physics and physicists,”” says Robert Adair in The Physics of Baseball, published by Harper and Row. But “‘in all sports analyses, it is im- portant for a scientist to avoid hubris and pay careful attention to the athletes,” writes Adair before step- ping up to the plate with his calculations, worked out mostly on a personal computer. “If players think they hit better af- ter illegally drilling a hole in their bat EP FIT KEEP FIT KEEP FIT KEEP FIT | VANCOUVER (CP) — Getting in shape doesn’t have to be an expensive hassle, says personal trainer Jamie Nicholson. “There’s nothing magical about exercise,” he If the weather is ugly, try climbing stairs. Cycling, — jogging or brisk walking-are also great for an aerobic workout. Fifteen minutes of strength training is next. says. ‘‘The most important thing is ging your at- titude toward fitness. “Fitness is never easy, but you don’t have to hurt yourself, either.”” It can cost less than $400 to set up a personal home gym, says Nicholson, also a program consultant for the downtown YMCA. Almost every home has a couple of dumbbells and a stationary bike gathering cobwebs in the basement, he says. ‘‘People buy them with the best intentions, but they’re not committed to them. “*A lot of people don’t understand training prin- ciples. You have to overload your system, make it work harder than it is now to get stronger.”” Heavy-duty rubber bands or surgical tubing are Nicholson’s best bets for inexpensive strength training i A Vanc -made brand, tubing, costs about $20, which includes exercise in- structions. “The tubing offers resistance, which increases strength and can be incorporated into every floor cxer- cise done in fitness classes,’’ he says. ‘‘But if you don’t know how to use it, you'll find yourself wrapping it around boxes for moving.”’ WARMUP FIRST Nicholsog suggests a five-minute warmup first — a brisk walk or easy aerobic moves and light stretching — followed by at least 15 minutes of cardiovascular training. That means sustained activity, which elevates the heart rate. ly out of shape should start without the tubing and introduce it when the muscles feel ready. The workout ends with 10 minutes of stretching, holding each exercise for 30 seconds. For those who say they have no time for exercise, Nicholson says the workout doesn’t have to be done all at once. “*You can do your stretching all day. When you get out of bed, but the cardio should be done all at on- ce. How about a brisk walk on your lunch hour?’” For his inexpensive, compact home gym, Doug Pirozek, a programmer at a fitness centre recommends a pair of five- or six-kilogram sand-filled dumbbells and a skipping rope. “Tubing is good because it’s cheap, but your range of motion is limited unless you have enough strength to do all the motions,”’ he says. “‘You can do. everything with dumbbells.”” His workout begins with a five-minute warmup, followed by 45 minutes of cardiovascular activity and strength training. “A 10-minute skip is equal to about a 25-minute run or jog, but it it a high-impact activity,’’ he says, so he mixes skipping with strength training. Choose one exercise for each large muscle group — the larger the range of motion the better — and do one to 15 repetitions of each exercise, alternating exer- cises with one to three-minute skips. The dumbbells should be light enough to allow 15 repetitions. and filling it with cork, they must be taken seriously. The reason they give for their ‘improvement,’ however, may not be valid.”” Adair wrote the book at the urging of the late A. Bartlett Giamatti, who, as president of the National League, had asked his old Yale friend in 1987 to advise him on a few elements of baseball physics. Among the findings he reported to Giamatti, who later became baseball commissioner, Adair compared the weight and other characteristics of a Louisville Slugger before and after it had been filled with cork. He con- cluded that the illegal modification provides the hitter no benefit that he cannot generally obtain through a legally constructed bat.

Therefore, the ex- tra material will only slow the bat down a little, slightly reducing the distance the bat hits the ball. The book was written with baseball fans, not physicists, in mind, Adair said Friday. He said he borrowed ex- tensively from the work of others, and relied on several scientist friends. more well-versed in the finer points of baseball. For fans who take their statistics seriously, the 106-page book places a new realm of intriguing facts and figures at their disposal. For instance: the hitter is concerned, however, ‘‘it’s real and not an illusion’’ because it is seen as a higher pitch, Adair said. — Ground balls cannot possibly speed up as they bounce across ar- tificial turf infields. Long home runs are typically hit so the initial backspin is near 2,000 rpm, and ground balls have similar rates of overspin. Ground balls would not speed up even with an overspin as great as 4,000 rpm. — From the perspective of the bat- ter or pitcher, a wide-breaking cur- veball thrown at 70 mph with a coun- terclockwise spin rate of 1,600 rpm and aimed toward the inside corner fastball.
