The veteran all-star slug-* ger of baseball's Cincinnati Reds says: “I'm not sorry I started out asa catcher. I loved it whenI was young, strong and full of pepper.-But, if I'd had to re- main behind the plate, I am convinced I couldn't have lasted another year.” The bull-shouldered Okla- homan, sporting a new three- year contract at $900,000 a year isin his 16th season asa Red with a refreshened en- thusiasm. “People keep asking me why I didn't hang on and try for Al Lopez's record (1,818 games behind the plate).

The remainder of the team would be. aged 16-18 years old. Since the team was organ- ized within a three-week span, the coaches faced the gallant task of creating a coherant, balanced, and con- sistant ‘unit with only four practice sessions. Head coach Jack Closkey, Senior Girls Coach at Stanley Humphries Secondary School, outlined the team goals they hoped to accom- lish: “This team is obviously made up of very fine athletes. We wanted to allow these for next season. In this res- pect the team was successful because four of the older girls were contacted by university coaches.” Assistant Coach Ray De- Anna, coach of the Laurie Tigerettes in Cranbrook was impressed with the concept of the regional team: “It is a good idea and will go far in creating interest in basketball at. the junior level. The younger girls on the team have the opportunity to goal. meet and play with older, . more experienced players and seb what top level com- petition is all about.” But to DeAnna, the re- gional team accomplished athletes to sh their, fine talents for the provincial and university coaches who would be recruiting players “After a game, my legs © were so stiff that it would - take me several minutes to get comfortable on a plane. The worst shot I ever took © was in a game against the © Giants in 1975. “Gary Matthews was ‘storming home on ahit to left field. (Pete) Rose threw short and the ball took two boun- ces. I was a sitting duck for Matthews, wlio smashed into ; me like an army tank, wren- ching my forearm and shoul- der.” ‘ KEPT ON CATCHING “The pain was almost un- bearable,” he adds. “But I kept on catching.

You move forward on the ball in- stead of laterally and you have to stay on your toes, T've never been known for my speed.” Bench, with 866 home runs and six 100-RBI seasons, is not sorry he spurned the free agent market to remain the last cylinder in the once awe- some Big Red Machine. “Money doesn’t mean that much to me,” he says. “I have different priorities, and I'm happy.” Vikings down Trail 2-0 Castlegar premier Vikings’ soccer team beat the Trail Spurs 2-0 at Selkirk.

The Vikings started big quickly, scoring two minutes into the match. Midfielder Dave Peak struck a 25-yard kick into an open net after a Spur's defensive mix-up.
