ne he ‘pall : ia yg toe The only sellout last year came in the second-last
regular season game against Edmonton.

‘The Bombers are using several promotions to attract
new fans. Jan and Dean, a 1960s rock and roll group, staged
aconcert before Winnipeg's pre-season gam2 against B.C. A
crowd of 19,730 attended, compared with 21,526 for last
year’s exhibition against Edmonton.

SINGERS PERFORM

Fomer Guess Who members Burton Cummings and
Randy Bachman will perform a concert before Winnipeg’s
‘Aug. 22 game against Saskatchewan.

Murphy admitted visions of a Bomber blowout over the
struggling Riders was one reason for the concert ploy.

“We looked at what we projected as a draw and we felt
we could boost it a little bit,” he said.

A family-directed promotion where a local food store
buys game tickets, then sells them at a reduced price has
also been successful. The end zone seats have been sold out
for all four games.

The Bombers’ shift to the Eastern Conference after the
demise of the Montreal Alouettes might also help attendance
later in the year. Winnipeg leads the East with 10 points,
one better than the Toronto Argonauts and four ahead of
Hamilton. .

The Argonauts and Tiger-Cats are the last two teams to

The dream is alive again for the blond,
lifter. from Burnaby.

He returned to the Pan-Am Games and picked up
two bronze medals Tuesday night in the 82.5-kilogram
category.
“I never thought about '83 at all,” Greavette, 27, said
after his performance. “But I did think about coming here
and winning at least some medals to show I was still
around.”

Cuban Pedro Rodriguez took all three golds Tuesday
by sweeping the snatch, clean and jerk and the overall
title with a total of 830 kilograms — short of the mark of
340 kilograms lifted by Greavette in 1983 in Caracas.

16 DISQUALIFIED

He wasn’t the only athlete pinched in Caracas.
Sixteen were disqualified — a scandal that rocked those
Games. The consequences are evident in Ind:
where officials are doing the most extensive testing in the
history of a multi-sport event.

Greavette is four years older now, and a lot wiser.
He was ready to quit the sport after the suspension. But
“it was too easy to quit. It's better to keep with it.”

If Greavette has any regrets about the last Pan-Ams,

would automatically be tested.

“I could have taken my gold medal in the snatch and
kept my Pan-Am record and gone home. I would have
just forfeited the clean and jerk. Nobody would have said

. I could have gone out there and dropped the
barbell three times. I don’t know why I didn't.”

Four years later, Greavette didn't sound repentant
— just sorry he'd been caught.

Canadian lifters face tough internal testing — as
often as,once a month and a possible lifetime ban if they

Bars using satellite dishes to pirate television signals

have long been a sore point with Murphy.

“There's no question it's a problem,” he said Tuesday.

“Studies we've done show a 66-per-cent (attendance)
increase in 40 bars for our home games.”

The issue of scrambling television signals was raised
during a recent CFL board of governors meeting.
Commissioner Doug Mitchell said scrambling could begin
toward the end of the season.

Only games shown on the Canadian Football Network, a

ion of ar

are caught — while the Eastern p lifting
countries are suspected of allowing their athletes to use
steroids during training.

“Canada's the strictest in the world,” said Greavette.
“There are a few countries (as strict), but they're like us
— they don’t make a big impact on the sport.”

That will never change, members of the Canadian
team say, until the international federation gets tough
on all countries.

Greavette said he lifted lower weights Tuesday than
he did four years ago because of a sore back — not
because of the steroids he was using in 1983.

Ironically, under the Pan-Ams’ new random testing
procedures, Greavette wasn't asked to produce a urine

stations with a contract to
show some CFL games, would be scrambled.

The Bombers drew 104,480 fans in four regular season
games this year for an average attendance of 26,120. This
compared to 101,843 fans for an average attendance of
25,460 after four games last year.

Murphy said the team needs 28,000 fans a game to
break even.

“We have a chance to improve,” he said. “You always
like to do better but we're not crying in the blue.”

TORONTO (CP) — Darnell Clash
will be chomping at the bit to get a
piece of the football when the Toronto
Argonauts play the B.C. Lions in
Vancouver on Thursday night.

Clash wasa Lion until one month
ago, but he was traded to Toronto for
future considerations and a first-round
draft choice, and this is the Argos’ first
visit to Vancouver since the deal.

Nothing would suit Clash more than
the opportunity to show up B.C. coach
Don through an ii pti
or breaking a punt return.

“That's what I would love to do,”
Clash said Tuesday as the Argos com-
pleted final preparations for the game.
“T'm not going to stuff it in his face, but
I want to put it in his mind that it

wasn't a good idea to let me go.” decision for the coach to keep Clash on

Clash’s problems began last year
when he suffered a serious knee injury
Aug. 21 against the Calgary Stam-
peders. Until then, the 25-year-old was
on his way to establishing a CFL record
for punt-return yardage in one season.
Clash had already set a CFL record
with four consecutive 100-yard punt-
return games in 1986.

But the knee injury kept him out for
the rest of the season, and when Clash
arrived at training camp in 1987, he
detected a chill in the air.

MOVED TO RESERVE

Matthews never warmed to the free-
spirited Clash, and when Andre
Francis did a capable job replacing
Clash last season, it was an easy

the reserve list.

“It was just that Matthews and I
didn’t see eye-to-eye,” says Clash.
“Nobody beat me out of my position.

“But if they had a vote on the B.C.
team (about keeping him), I'm sure I
would win the vote. I have nothing
against Andre Francis. I think I'm
happier than he is now.”

Since coming to Toronto, Clash has
not looked much like the player who
was an all-Canadian in 1985. He has had
his troubles in the secondary and little
has been seen on this legendary punt-
return ability. So far, Clash has 174
yards on 30 punt returns for a 5.8-yard
average. His longest runback was for
31 yards.

upsets coach

MONTREAL (CP) — Mon-
Canadiens coach Jean
Perron says he’s furious Lar-
ry Robinson will miss at least
the first few months of the
NHL season because of a
broken leg the veteran de-
fenceman suffered while
playing polo.

“I am so furious that I
didn’t even telephone Serge
(Savard, the team’s general
manager),” Perron told Le
Journal de Montreal.

“It’s impossible to replace
Larry,” Perron said from St.
John’s, Nfld.

“You're not talking about a
marginal player but a star, a
player who is better than
others, Larry's value to the

“I'm not beaten, far from
it,” Robinson told Le Journal
from the Montreal General
Hospital.

“In three weeks, I'll begin
exercises and therapy to
strengthen the leg.”

But Dr. ERic Leczner, the
Canadiens’ orthopedic sur-
geon, said Robinson will
remain in hospital for one
week and it will be three
months before he can skate.

Robinson has never suf-
fered a serious hockey injury.

Had Robinson accepted an
informal invitation to attend
the Team Canada training
camp for this fall's Canada
Cup, the two-time winner of
the James Norris trophy as

VANCOUVER (CP) — John Henry White hoists
himself to a sitting position in his hospital bed as he talks
about how his professional football career came to an
abrupt end.

White, a 10-year veteran with the British Columbia
Lions of the Canadian Football League, had planned to
retire at the end of this season.

Instead, a serious injury to his left knee in a game
Saturday against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, advanced
those plans.

“My career ended a few months early,” said the
31-year-old fullback. “I cameback for this final season
because the Grey Cup is going to be played here in
Vancouver and I thought I could be part of it.”

His hospital stay will be indefinite and, for the time
being, he must manoeuvre himself on his hospital bed
with the help of an overhead suspension bar.

“[ remember my first game in the league,” the
Louisiana-born White said in an interview Tuesday. “It
was snowing in Calgary and I had just left 93-degree heat
(back home). I looked up at the snowflakes and wondered
