Oates beats out
Golden Brett for
weekly title

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Adam Oates
doesn’t score’ very often, but
nobody's complaining.

That's because the St. Louis Blues
centre is fast becoming one of the
NHL's best assist men. Get in the
clear and he’ll find a way to get you
the puck. He has one goal and 16
assists in his last five games.

It’s been an unbelievable week or
so for Oates. First, he was a last-
minute stand-in for injured Brett

Hull in the all-star game on Jan. 19
and nearly stole the show with a goal
and four assists.”Then on Monday,
he was named the league’s player of
the week.

When Hull reached the 50-goals-
in-50-games milestone Friday with
two goals against Detroit in game 49,
he had Oates to thank for both.

Oates also tied-a team record with
five assists against Detroit on Satur-
day, with his pass setting up the win-
ner in overtime. He had three more
assists in Tuesday’s victory over Buf-

Oates missed 18 games earlier this
season with a stomach muscle injury,
but he’s among the league leaders
with 48-assists and 60 points in only
33 games. Despite his injury, he has
a chance for his second straight 100-
point season.

Shell's Dan Walker single han-
dedly outscored Banjo’s with six
goals but it was teammate Bob
Larsh who got things going of-
fensivelytess than a minute into
the game.

Shell built up a six-goal lead,

Obetkoff’s first of four, before
Banjo’s Lorne Anderson coun-
tered on a pass from Bruce Ber-
mel. A minute later, Chief Mer-

Obetkoff with three and
Walker scored for Shell and An-

Dean MacKinnon, Walker with

he said.

“*He’s definitely achieved an elite

Start comparing him to the best in
the league. Having both him and
Brett on the team is a tremendous
advantage.”’

‘Oates was overshadowed by Steve
Yzerman in Detroit for three seasons
but has blossomed in St. Louis.
Oates came to the Blues before last
season in one of general manager
Ron Carron's best deals — the Blues
gave up Bernie Federko and Tony
McKegney for Oates and Paul
MacLean.

Last season, Oates had his first
100-point season and he set a team
record with 79 assists.

He's far from content, tough, and
knows coach Brian Sutter wants it
that way.

Saints mens team
drops in standings

By CasNews Staff

The Selkirk College Saints men’s _

volleyball team faltered slightly last
weekend at a B.C. Colleges Athletic
Association tournament at Trinity
Western University.

Saints coach Gerry Fraser was
hoping the club could go 3-0, but in-
stead lost to the host team and
posted a 2-1 record, subsequently
falling to fifth from fourth in the
Teague.

However, the Saints, 7-5, had
good performances against Victoria
Community College and “Cariboo,
winning by scores of 3-1 and 3-0
respectively in match play-

Combined with the loss, the Sain-
ts lost backup setter Scott

Podevelnikoff with an_ injury.
Podevelnikoff was playing for the
injured David Norman.

“Considering what happened,
things went well,”’ Fraser said.

With Podevelnikoff out, Fraser
hopes Norman will recover in time
for the next BCCAA tournament in
Princeton Feb. 9.

“This upcoming weekend is a key
weekend for us,’’ Fraser said. ‘One
match loss, depending on the team
we lose to, and we're in serious
trouble."’

Fraser wants td catch fourth-place
Malaspina, 8-5. The Saints have one
game in hand and will meet
Malaspina in the first match in Prin-
ceton.

Pee Wees win

In a penalty-filled game, Castlegar Pee Wee House Team No. |
beat Trail’s No. 2 pee wee team 5-1 last week.

Each team had more than 20 minutes in penalties, which was a
turn around from the previous weekend.

Mike Myhra scored for Castlegar to get things going after taking
@ pass from Robert Bleier and Jamie Ross. Other goals scorers were
Dan Popoff, Josh Sookero, and“Wade Stoochnoff. Myhra got a
second goal to round out Castlegar’s scoring.

THE PROPHETIC PROFESSOR
By Peter Minchuk

I kept my eye glued to the viewfinder. All at on-
ce there was a bright ball of light followed by an ex-
plosion. A ball of fire exploded upwards and out-
wards!

“Hell, no!"’ I exclaimed.

That wasn't sunlight. A blinding light and fur-
ther explosions turned the dusk into bright day. Oh,
God! No! No! No!, the Hindenburg was exploding.

1 instinctively re-set the iris on my camera so as
not to overexposé the film as the dying Hindenburg
kept on erupting in a crescendo of explosions as each
gas cell ignited in turn.

It was like looking into a very bright blast fur-
mace — Dante’s Inferno — punctuated by the
screams of some of 34 victims who were incinerated
instantly or as they attempted to jump free. It was
horrible to watch them, and again and again in the
nightmares I had for years afterwards.

In less than a minute the Titanic of the sky was
no more. She was just a hissing, burning skeleton of
her former self, a barbecued giant whale. The hissing
and weird sounds emanating from her burning innar-
ds sounded like the devil laughing. I was in deep
shock, not realizing that my hands and forehead were
scorched from getting too close with my camera. The
camera itself was steaming from that sudden heat,
so I figured my film was cooked too.

A news photographer tapped me on the shoulder
and said, ‘‘I’ll give you $50 for your film.”’

“Give me $100,"’ I said, ‘‘and you can have the
camera too!"’ I was so shocked that I had no faith in
my photography and I thought the pictures wouldn't
turn out. The news photographer paid me the $100
and so got credit for the photos he never took.

Later, in a bar I treated the pilots and soldiers of
fortune heading for Spain with my $100. They, too,
were traumatized by the Hindenburg disaster.

The seemed and
ned.

“*What's wrong with you, sir?”’ I asked.

The professor replied, ‘‘Today we witnessed
God’s will. On April 26, 1937, just 11 days ago,
swastika-marked German bombers of the Nazi Con-
dor Legion, with the blessing of General Franco,
destroyed the Basque town of Guernica and killed
hundreds of innocent people just to test their bombs
and incendiaries. An experimental horror!

Reflections
and
recollections

By John Charters

y,
“Of course the first casualty of war is the truth,
since the Nazis will deny this bombing and will blame
the Republicans. The disaster of the Hindenburg we
witnessed today is an omen from God; the universal
law of retribution for the destruction of Guernica.
The flaming disaster and horror we wittiessed today is
only a flickering candle to the fiery horrors yet to
come.

Satanic Hitler will soon lead all the good Ger-
man people down a road of insanity, to death and
fiery destruction.

Nazi scum that are now burning-the books of
famous authors will soon be burning people! (Thus
the ied the )

The professor went on to say that God would
also curse Hitler’s Third Reich and it would go down
in flames as the Hindenburg did. And it did! He also
Prophesied that ahead of us there were a lot more
violent decades.

Ernest Hemingway was in the bar one day,
feading the newspapers. Hitler and propaganda
minister Goebbels were disclaiming responsibility for
the pulverizing of Guernica by incendiary and anti-
Personnel bombs and the machine-gunning of i
nocent non-combat civilians. Hemingway was incen-

“They are blaming the Basques and us Loyalists
for destroying Guernica. What a monstrous Nazi lie!
What a bag full of ‘El Toro Bull Puppo’ (bull shit).
If you gave Hitler and Goebbels a good enema you
could bury both those Nazi bastards in one cigar box.

“As always,”’-he-said,—‘‘the first casdalty in a
war is the truth!””

Later he was discussing his book titled For
Whom the Bell Tolls with Eric Blair (George Orwell,
author of 1984), and the professor. The professor
said, “There will be many more violent decades
ahead of us. There will be many more bells tolling.
Millions more will die. You can’t unring a bell. Only
God can unring those bells."”

I got one last prophecy from the professor shor-
tly before he was captured by the Moors and
executed.

“Evil may triumph, but never conquer,’’ he
said. ‘‘Evil never dies, son, it always waits to be
reborn. Stay alive, son! You have another war to
fight.”’ (Which I did in World War Two.)

But the one prophecy I am most disturbed about
in 1990, 53 years later, was what the professor said
again and again:

“The last and final war will be in the Biblical lands
of the Middle East. God will have the last and final
word, but millions will die first!"”
