Mike Balahura, coach of the Stanley Humphries Rock- ers rugby team, says a team of 23 students and three adults from an English pri- vate school will arrive in Castlegar April 7 as part of a tour of British Columbia. During their stay in Castle- gar, the group will play the Rockers in an exhibition match, as well as visit various tourist attractions in the West Kootenay. The boys, mostly ages 16 and 17, come from Dean Close School in Chetenham, England, 120 kilometres east of the Wales/England bor- der. Balahura says the trip to Castlegar was confirmed by the rugby team last Septem- ber. He said that last spring when the Rockers competed in the provineials at Vietoria the team let it be known that if any teams were touring B.C. and would like to tour the Kootenays, the Rockers would be happy to host them. One month later, Balahura received a letter from a man in the school in England, saying they. would be touring B. ind had heard the Rock- ers were interested in host- ing teams. The rugby team’s activities will begin on April 8 the day after it arrives in Cast — when it will be taken to the Nancy Greene Lake area to go cross-country skiing. Balahura said that on April 9 the group may be taken up Kootenay Lake towards the Ainsworth and Kaslo area. April 10 a tour of Westar is in the works for the morning. The game against the Rock- ers is scheduled for 3 p.m. on the school field. The trip to B.C. isn't the first out-of-country visit for the English team. Other tours have included visits to Holland and Portugal. Balahura remarks that having the team here will be very educational. “They will be very good,” he says. “We are going to NHL ROUND-UP Just like a Sutter. is winning the hockey game. win. team achievements. exploded for nine goals. Louis net and li Sask. rink FREDERICTON (CP) — The tiny town of Lemberg, Sask., population 414, will be the newly crowned capital of Canadian junior women's curling if Kimberley Arm bruster has her way on Sat urday. Armbruster defeated pre viously unbeaten Georgina Hawkes of British Columbia 76 Tuesday night to take sole possession of first place with a 6-0 record. It was the B.C. foursome's first loss in the 20 games they have played since they started curling together three months ago. Chipping away at a 41 sixth-end deficit, Armbruster tied the game with a three ender in the sixth. Hawkes came back with one in the seventh, but Saskatchewan took two in the eighth and stole one in the ninth to seal the win. “Against a team like that, there was some doubt we could come back,” conceded Armbruster, who skips Lor: raine Krupski, Wanda Fig gitt and Sheila Calcutt “But in the sixth end we decided we'd better go for it We started drawing up to everything. She (Hawkes) got a few bad breaks and that was it.” In other seventh-round games, Jill Noseworthy of St. John’s, Nfid., upped her ree ord to 5-2 with a 9-7 win over Stephanie Jones of Halifax; Ann Raby of Buckingham, Que., won her first of the tournament by trouncing Bonnie Hagborg of Winnipeg 10-4; Monique Masse of Grand Falls, N.B., donwed Lindsey Graves of Edmonton 94 and Susan Shepley of takes first Mississauga, Ont., beat Rox anne Bird of Pine Point, Nova Scotia is the only rink of the three with a winning N.W.T., 7-6. record, 4-2.

With four games remain ing, the worst appears to be over for Armbruster, who plays the Territories, Nova Scotia, Quebee and Alberta. “We kind of expected to lose a few games by now be- cause all the teams seem so equal,” Armbruster said.

Sutter nets By The Canadian Press After becoming the fourth player in New York Islanders’ history to score 100 points in a National Hockey League season, Brent Sutter downplayed the achievement and emphasized the importance of his team's 6-5 victory Tuesday night over the St. Louis Blues. “It's nice,” he said to one more reporter as other players scurried for the team bus. “To me, the most important thing “If you get points, it doesn’t mean anything if you don’t Brent, who scored two goals and two assists Tuesday night, is the fourth of six Sutter brothers playing in the NHL this season. Each one has earned a reputation for playing to win at all costs and never letting personal laurels outweigh In the only other game Tuesday, Winnipeg Jets defeated New Jersey Devils 6-3. In St. Louis, both teams scored a goal in the first period, but abandoned their usual defensive styles in the second and Sutter started the barrage while the Islanders enjoyed a 4-on-3 advantage, taking a pass directly in front of the St. g the puck over fallen goalie Greg Millen. Less than a minute later, Sutter scored his 42nd of the season after a scramble in front of the continuing New York power play. The Blues came back on goal three minutes apart by Mark Johnson and Joe Mullen, but Pat Flatley restored the Islanders’ lead just 10 seconds after Mullen’s goal. The teams then traded two goals each, as Denis Potvin scored from the point for New York at 15:10, and Bernie Federko notched his second of the night for St Louis 35 seconds later by poking in a rebound at the goal crease. Chiefs wrap up semi-final By The Canadian Press Spokane Chiefs took their Western International Hoc key League semifinal series in four straight games as they beat Kimberley Dyna miters 15-5 Tuesday night In Fernie, Elk Valley Bla zers beat Nelson Maple Leafs 52 to even their semifinal series at 2-2. In Kimberley, Gordie Mc Kay led the Spokane attack with four goals, while Bob Seurfield, Gary Harpell and Bruce Cullen had two each Singles came from Bill Hob bins, Dan Gerardin, Bob Stolz, Ken Karpuk and Kevin Humphries. Jim Jarrett, Ray Creasy, Ray Gregorash, Gerry Stoughton and Rick Willey scored for Kimberley. The teams were tied 4-4 after the first period before Spokane scored seven un answered goals in the second frame. Seniors with 1-4 record Stanley Humphries Senior Rockettes basketball had mixed results at the prov incial high school basketball championships held on the weekend. The team travelled to Kel owna with hopes of a high finish in the tournament but things did not work out as expected. The Rockettes won only one out of its four games. The Rockettes’ first game against the highly-regarded A.L. Fortune Fortunettes was very tough as the girls from Enderby took an early 10-4 lead on the way to a 58-39 victory. The Rockettes were led by Karen Wilson with 18 points who played very well in this opening game loss, according to coach Jack Closkey The Rockettes’ second game against D.P. Todd from Prince George was the one that turned the fate of the team The girls started the game very well and were’ leading 31-13 when leading scorer English rugby team to visit Castlegar learn a lot. a “The only problem is it's early. We will not have had any league games before that,” he said. In fact, it will be one of the first games of the year for the Rockers. He said the visiting team will have al- ready played a couple of games on Vancouver Island before coming here. “We will not have had that,” Balahura remarked. “It will be difficult to play (them),” he said, adding that the English team is from the “hotbed of rugby in Eng- land.” “Our only saving grace is that for the most part we have a full complement re- turning from last year's team,” Balahura said. “We will have to fill in a couple of spots with rookies, but most of the team will be relatively experienced,” he noted. However, the local team will not be as experienced as the team from England. “They start playing in elementary school, right up BALAHURA - learn a lot through senior high,” Bal- ahura said. Rugby (in Eng- land) is the equivalent to our hockey.” Only in the last four or five years has rugby come into its own in schools here, he said. Still, Balahura sees the visit as a “tremendous op- portunity for our guys to see a team who really knows how to play rugby.” 100 points Tomas Jonsson moved in from the point to restore the two-goal Islander lead 1:09 after Federko's goal, but Brian Sutter, St. Louis’ captain and the oldest of the Sutter clan, slammed in a shot from in front of the net with 40 seconds left to pull the Blues within 6-5. St. Louis came on in the third period, but Billy Smith repulsed the barrage with some especially in the final minute when the Blues pulled Millen for an extra attacker. At East Rutherford, N.J., Doug Smail scored two goals and Laurie Boschman added a goal and three assists to give Winnipeg its third consecutive win. Smail scored his first goal at 2:01 of the first period as he converted on a 3-on-2 break with a 10-foot shot, beating goaltender Glenn Resch to the stick side. Winnipeg increased its lead to 2-0 as Dale Hawerchuk scored just two minutes later, firing a 15-foot shot over Resch’s shoulder. Kirk Muller cut Winnipeg's lead to 2-1 at 7:20 as he converted on a power play by whipping a 10-foot shot through the legs of goaltender Brian Hayward. Aaron Broten tied the game for the Devils at 13:18 of the second period, but Winnipeg regained the lead just 41 seconds later as Scott Arniel took a cross-ice pass from Thomas Steen, broke in alone and beat Resch. Boschman opened the third period with a goal at 4:48 on a power play as he faked past Resch and dropped the puck into an empty net. Bengt Lundhoim scored 35 seconds later for Winnipeg as he tipped in Dave Ellett's shot from the point. The Devils scored their third goal on a power play at 9:09 as Mel Bridgman connected on a 10-foot rebound. But Smail got his second goal of the night at 13:05 on a 20-foot shot return Students finish in Karen Wilson tore knee liga ments which sidelined her for the rest of the tournament Without Wilson's scoring punch, the Rockettes were unable to maintain the mom. entum and a great comeback by D.P. Todd kept the girls with their second loss. The Prince George team won 45-39. This second loss religated the team to the loser’s round where they defeated Duns muir of Victoria 49-40. In their last game against the host team KLO Cougars the Rockettes played very well but again without a con sistant scorer they fell 45-42. “The team was disappoint ed with the way the tourna ment worked out for them because with any luck at all they should have been in the thiek of the fight,” Closkey said. Patty Plotnikoff and Mich ele Maloff played well in the tournament, and Maloff was selected as an honorable méntion all star, he said. top three Five students from the Stanley Humphries Second- ary School track team fin. ished in the top three in the East-West Kootenay indoor track meet Saturday at the Trail Fieldhouse.
