After placing 12th and 13th in the summer downhill championships taking place on Granite Mountain at Red Mountain Ski Area. Stevens, 22, a member of the national B team, finished the course in one minute, 58.23 seconds. Gary Athans of Kelowna was second in 1:58.70 and Chris Kent of Calgary third in 1:58.85. Rob Boyd of Whistler was fourth in 2:00.02. Curtis Christian was fifth in 2:00.12, while Brian Stemmle of Aurora, Ont., finished sixth in 2:00.15 and Felix Belezyk of Castlegar was seventh in 2:00.22. Ralph Socher of Fernie was eighth in 2:00.81. Robbie Bosinger of Banff, Alta., placed ninth in 2:01.69. Todd Brooker finished 10th in 2:01.83.

Derek Trussler of Rossland was 13th in 2:02.06 while Castlegar’s Hans Edblad was 16th in 2:02.78. Brooker is attempting a comeback on the dowhilll circuit after being sidelined after a knee injury last month. ‘The 26-year-old skier from Paris, Ont. was the seventh ranked downhiller in the world entering the 1986-86 World Cup season. But during a training run for a World Cup race at Kitzbuehl, Austria, Brooker fell and damaged his left knee. During his skiing career, Brooker has undergone seven knee operations. Upon returning home, doctors told Brooker he would not require another operation, but he did need rest and intensive therapy on the knee. He has been undergoing therapy at the sports medical clinic in London, Ont. According to downhill national team coach Glen Wurtele, if things go well in Rossland this week, Brooker will return tothe World Cup downhill circuit later this month for the final two scheduled races in Europe at Are, Sweden and the final two races of the season at Aspen, Colo. and the openers in Argentina, Brooker had the tip of his right ski break in the first two races of the winter season. And then came the spill. In other news, Wurtele said in a prepared release that he expects Jim Read to dominate the giant slalom and Mike Tommy and Alain Villiard to fight it out for the national title in the slalom. Read, younger brother of former national World Cup downhiller Ken Read, has been virtually unbeatable in the giant slalom in the Nor-Am series this season. Read, 24, has won all seven Nor-Am giant slaloms so far this season and finished second in one slalom to lead the overall North American ski trophy with 120 points. He leads the GS standings with 100 points. Read is currently the top-ranked Canadian in world FIS GS points, ranked 59th. He is ranked 106th in the slalom. The Calgary native is going after his third straight Export A series giant slalom title and his fourth in five years. He first won it in 1982. He finished second in 1983. Wurtele says Tommy and Villiard are the skiers to beat in the slalom event. Tommy won three Nor-Am slalom races before Christmas and is currently the leader in that event in Nor-Am standings with 84 points. He is second to Read in overall standit Villiard has won one Nor-Am slalom this season and is seventh in slalom standings. Wurtele says the Export A Series super giant slalom is “wide open” but might lean towards the downhillers. ‘The third training run for the downhill championship starts at 10:30 a.m. Thursday with the race set for Friday. The Red Mountain Cup is slated for Saturday. The Export A super giant slalom will be held at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, the giant slalom goes at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday Atoms victorious on weekend Castlegar Atom Reps trav elled to Beaver Valley on Saturday and returned with a 40 victory.

No. 99 was held scoreless Islanders for the eighth straight game, the longest scoring drought of his National Hockey League career, as the visiting Edmonton Oilers edged the Red Wings 3-2. shut out Canucks 1-0 UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) — It was a big night for New York Islanders goaltender Billy Smith, and a big night for, the post behind him. “They say that’s part of a goalie’s equipment,” said Is- landers right winger Duane Sutter, pulling out the old cliche as he reflected on the role the goalpost played in the Islanders’ 10 victory over Vancouver Canucks in a National Hockey League game Tuesday night. Smith made 25 saves but the post got a key assist on one of them when a shot by Rick Lanz hit the orange. colored metal in the final sec- onds. The Canucks were on the power play and had Theismann to be traded? WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs downplayed spec- ulation Tuesday that veteran quarterback Joe Theismann is on the trading block or is looking to spend the 1986 season with another National Football League team. “Right now, I'm sure Joe wants to play with the Red skins and we want him here,” Gibbs said. “If anything de velops down the road in which Joe or us decides he might be better,off with ano- ther club, we'll talk about it then. “For now, though, that's net where we are. At this point, the main thi our minds is for healthy.” Theismann, 36, is the Red skins’ all-time leader in pass pulled goaltender Richard Brodeur. Earlier, Sutter had diree ted some bullet-like shots at Brodeur, including one that hit the post behind the Van- couver goalie. “It was a game typical of playoff hockey,” Sutter said. “The goalies came up with big saves and got some help from the post.” Aside from the involve ment of the posts, the goalies themselves did a pretty good job all night. Smith made what turned out to be the save of the game for him when he blocked a break away by Petri Skriko with 22 seconds left in the first per iod. LONE GOAL Brodeur, playing in his llth straight game, almost matched Smith save-for-save, turning aside 25 shots. The only shot that got by Brodeur came when he was caught out of position trying to block an apparent shot by Mike Bossy. The puck hit the post and dribbled out to Bryan Trot tier. The Islander centre picked up the puck in the right face off circle, skated in and found just enough room for a five-foot shot at 7:20 of the second period “I got a piece of it, but it went in,” Brodeur said “I was trying to pass,” Bossy said. “I saw John (Tonelli) going to the net “I tried to give it to John ny. I don't know what hap pened. The next thing I knew, I saw the puck hit Trots’ stick. He made a real nice shot.” The Canucks had a chance to tie it on a power play in the final 51 seconds. But Smith, who picked up his 20th career shutout, and his Islander stonewalled the es and yards. He was ig the midst of what he called his “worst” season in 1985 when he broke his right leg Canucks and halted their seven-game unbeaten string. The victory was the Is landers’ fifth in six games. However, Gretzky set up the winning goal by Jari Kurri with 8:10 remaining. It was Kurri’s 42nd_goal of the season. The assist was Gretzky's 111th this season. The Ed- monton captain, who has more assists than anyone else has points, also has 38 goals. “As long as I'm getting chances they'll eventually go in,” said Gretzky. The Oilers took a 1-0 lead at 12:51 on a goal by Mike Krushelnyski. The Red Wings tied the score early in the second period on Bob Probert’s eighth of the season but the Oilers re. gained the lead 20 seconds later when Glenn Anderson backhanded Pau! Coffey’s re- bound for his 40th goal of the year. Reed Larson made it 2-2 on the power play in the third period before Kurri sealed the win. The Oilers, 38-13-6, snap ped a twogame losing streak. Detroit fell to 12-38-5, the league's worst record. In other games, it was Minnesota North Stars 4 Toronto Maple Leafs 2, New York Islanders 1 Vancouver Canucks 0, Hartford Whalers 4 St. Louis Blues 4, and Chi cago Black Hawks 5 Boston Bruins 4. Maxwell scored for the Maple Leafs. WHALERS 4 BLUES 4 In St. Louis, rookie de- fenceman Dana Murzyn scored with 16:13 remaining to help Hartford snap a seven-game losing streak by tying the Blues. Dean Eva son, Paul McDermid and Wayne Babych also scored for the Whalers. Ron Flock. hart, Kent Carlson, Greg Paslawski and Bernie Feder ko replied for the Blues.
