SS Castlégar News November 13, 1985 SPORTS FANS DISAPPEAR MONTREAL (CP) — While the players took a day off from practice Tuesday, administrators of Mon- treal’s Canadian Football League franchise were still scratching their heads over the disappearance of the fans. «There were 47,300. empty. seats in Olympic Stadium last Sunday when Mojtreal_ Concordes advanced to this weekend's East Division final against Hamilton’ Tiger ,Cats with a 30-20 triumph over Ottawa. Only 11,372 customers — a season low — came out for the eastern semi-final and only 4,700 were season-ticket holders, although Montreal sold 12,700 season tickets this year. The Concordes gave season-ticket holders the option of waiting until game time Sunday.'to pick up their tickets and the strategy backfired, as. wet snow on game ‘day dampened enthusiasm for football. Sports briefs EXPOS RELEASE PLAYERS «+ MONTREAL (CP) — Montreal Expos released two players and demoted three others as they unveiled a 39-man winter roster Tuesday. The National League baseball club sent pitchers Dick Grapenthin and Greg Bargar as well as outfielder | Mike Fuentes to their Triple A Indianapolis farm team in the American Association. Infielder Razor Shines and catcher Mike O'Berry were put on waivers for the purpose of being given their outright release. CAUDILL DETERMINED TORONTO (CP) — Reliever Bill Caudill is so determined to prove his worth to Toronto Blue Jays runner next season that he has hired a strength coach to work with during the off-season, says Caudill's agent, Scott Boras. Caudill “will be the hungriest and most motivated player if baseball,” next season, Boras said Tuesday , from Chicago. Boras said hecould not reveal the name of the strength coach — being paid a five-figure sum by Caudill — because the latter wants to prevent. his. other employers from knowing he’ is working with Caudill in Seattle. GOALIE CALLED UP PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia Flyers, - whose star goaltender Pelle Lindbergh was killed in an auto accident, said Tuesday they have called up goalie Mike Bloski from Kalamazoo Wings of the International Hockey League. Bloski, who was signed as a free agent by the. Flyers before last season, joins Bob Froese, the Flyers’ backup goalie, on the National Hockey League team. Lindbergh, the top goaltender in the NHL last year, suffered massive brain injuries after his Porsche slammed into a wall in Somerdale, N,J.,. early Sunday. TESTS ‘UNNECESSARY’ MILWAUKEE (AP) — U.S. tennis star: John McEnroe says recently announced drug testing of male tennis players isn't necessary, but it may be good for the sport in the long run by discouraging drug abuse by youngsters. “I have mixed emotions,” McEnroe said Tuesday night after he defeated retired Swedish tennis great Bjorn Borg in an exhibition match. “I don't think there’s-a problem in. our sport,” McEnroe said of the decision last week by the Men's International Professional Tennis Council to randomly test players at two selected world-class tournaments .— beginning in 1986. Ezerins overlooked HAMILTON (CP) — It’s hard to overlook someone who stands six-foot-four and weighs 242 pounds but that’s exactly what has happened to Hamilton linebacker Leo Ezerins this year, says Tiger-Cats secondary coach Rich Stubler. “He's the most overlooked player on the team,” Stubler said as the Tiger-Cats prepared for the Canadian Football League's Eastern Division final 10:30 a.m. PST Sunday against the visiting Montreal Concordes. “He should have been an all-star. He's played exceptionally well.” As big as Ezerins is, he’s still played in the shadow of his defensive teammates. “I've had some interceptions and a few key plays and I think it’s been my most consistant year,” Ezerins said. “But I guess it's been overshadowed by our defence. “If it wasn’t Grover (Covington) coming up with a couple or three big games it was Mike Walker or Michell Price. Or, obviously, it could have been Paul Bennett or Less Browne.” Or it could have been any of 12 players on this year's defence which set a league record with 46 interceptions. -_Ezerins has a chance to steal some of that spotlight Sunday when he tries to shut down one of the Concordes’ top offensive threats. Stubler isn't sharing his defensive plans but it’s a. good bet Ezerins will spend much of the afternoon with Nick Arakgi. CATCHES PASSES ‘The six-foot-six Montreal slotback caught 58 passes this season for 741 yards and added another seven catches and 110 yards in Sunday's Eastern semifinal victory over Ottawa. “I know one thing,” Hamilton coach Al Bruno said- “We're not going to let Nick Arakgi rule the field like he did in Montreal (against Ottawa).” Ezerins agrees Arakgi has become a major contributor Econo Spots.

Both teams finished with 8-8 records but the Ticats beat the Concordes 39-11 and 19-16. The Tiger-Cats, who beat Toronto in last year’s Eastern final, have won their last five regular-season home games against Montreal. With three interceptions, a fumble recovery and 50 tackles this year, it’s not likely Ezerins been overlooked by the Hamilton braintrust. He was in Stubler's office Monday to discuss defensive schemes for Sunday's game. “I always talk with Paul Ben iasi) and NBA ROUNDUP Knicks win first game By The Associated Press The game was called the War of the Worst, but Knicks coach Hubie Brawn: begged” to differ. “We're doing about as well as can be expected consid- ering what we have out on the floor,” Brown said after the Knicks defeated winless Phoenix Suns 103-93 Tuesday night for their first victory of the National Basketball Asso- ciation season. “We have five guys injured. “There's nothing we can do about that.” As evidence that the Knicks are better than their 1-8 record, Brown points to a defence that has allowed fewer than 100 points per game and the loss of only two games by more than 10 points. The problem during the 20-game losing streak that ended against the Suns, Brown said, was a lack of offensive firepower, especi- ally since the loss of Bernard King, whose serious knee in- jury occurred the day after New York's last previous victory, March 22. “We were disappointed (at Btarting 0-8), but we knew it would come if we did the best we can,” said rookie Patrick Ewing, who led all scorers with 25 points and also led the Knicks’ defence with nine rebounds and four © blocked shots. : WIN IN OT” In other NBA games, it was: Detroit Pistons 124, Washington Bullets 122 in overtime; Milwaukee Bucks 132, Chicago Bulls 103; Hou- ston Rockets 127, Denver Nuggests 119; Los Angeles Lakers 119, Utah Jazz 110; Seattle SuperSonics 109, Dal- las Mavericks 90; and Port- land Trail Blazers 126, Sac- ramento Kings 115. . “We played good enough to be 6-3,” Brown said. “But we haven't gotten any outside Leo before we step on the field,” Stubler aid. “A lot of what we do-depends on their ability and they have to feel comfortable with what we're plannin; This is Ezerins's third season as a Tiger Cat after being traded by Winnipeg Blue Bombers for cornerback David Shaw. The adjustment wasn't easy for the Winnipeg native, who was in the early stages of developing off-field business interests as a licensed stock broker. There were also adjustments to his game after playing on the inside of Winnipeg’s four-linebacker defence. In Hamilton, he's been shifted to the outside of a three-man * linebacking squad. Injuries also slowed the transition. He had knee surgery before the start of last season but missed three games when he banged the other knee. He has been hampered this year with a tender shoulder.

KRAZY GEORGE NOT COMING VANCOUVER (CP) — Winnipeg Blue Bombers won't have to worry about crowd noise stirred up by cheerleader Krazy George when they meet British Columbia Lions in the Canadian Football League Western Division final Sunday. The balding, drum-beat- ing professional cheerlead- er won't be raising the decibel level in B.C. Place Stadium because “we were sponsorship for him to be here,” Roger Upton, B.C. Lions’ marketing director said Tuesday. : Reached at his home in Capitola, Calif. George Henderson, who has been a fixture at Lions games for 10 years, said he won't appear because the Lions voided his contract. “I can't believe it. I've been with the Lions for 10 years and to call up and say ‘I don't want you.’ It's the idea of the thing.” Upton said he called his agent last week and told him the club could not sec- ure a sponsor. “I asked him if he wouldn't mind if George didn't show up for this game,” said Upton. “He said it was no problem. “And now he (Krazy George) is phoning every radio and television sta- tion, and every newspaper in town and bringing it into the public forum.” Henderson, who is under unsuccessful. in securing>“contract.to 15 professional teams and 10 universities in the United States, has worked three regular-sea- son games for the Lions this season. The Bombers complain- ed at the Western final two years ago when he-stirred a crowd of almost 60,000 Lions fans into a frenzy and B.C. went to the Grey Cup. But in last year’s West- ern final here, the Bombers kept the crowd quiet them- selves with an easy 31-14 vietory over the Lions.

Ihave been on council for two terms (four years) and have learned.a lot. Although all I hoped for has not come about, I have accomplished several things, including zoning changes to permit expansion in the downtown area without having to provide parking; the master plan of. the Community Complex; and the establishment of a new policy directive manual. During my terms I have been quite happy with my performance. Honesty and integrity are my masthead and I strongly believe that city hall should be-a place where all people should feel welcome and that they can bring any concerns or problems and discuss them fully. I think we must explore every avenue of economic development with a view to attracting new business 2nd industry and, most important, create employment. We must encourage local enterprise so that our present businesses can expand and flourish.

Along with many things I hope that we can a from the tax roll. This provincial law comes into full force in 1987.
