Education.

The report, titled The More Things Change the More
They Stay the Same, compares how girls and boys and
men and women are portrayed in stories in terms of their
numbers, occupations, activities, part played in the plot
and over-all image.

The report, by the three authors who have taught at
the elementary level, was released at the 32,000-member
federation’s annual meeting.

In examing the reading materials, some of which are
available across Canada, the authors found that men and
boys are “vastly over-represented” as role models in the
books. Women did not appear often enough even to make
an impression.

Military mag
wondering

LONDON (CP) — The Mulroney government's
controversial decision to acquire a fleet of 10 to 12
nuclear-powered submarines is a “somewhat startling” move
that leaves observers wondering about its purpose, the 1987
edition of Jane's Fighting Ships says.

The annual naval review, released today, praises the
decision as “a radical and welcome break with past
Canadian naval policies . . . (especially because) the sum
involved is considerable for a country with a population of
(only) 25-26 million.”

But it suggests that the cost of the attack submarines
could be much greater than the $7.5 billion Cnd estimated by
Ottawa and expresses doubts about the government's
emphasis on Arctic defence as the reason for its decision.

“Clearly, the Canadian government has decided that
this new submarine force should take precedence over the
purchase of other equipment. It will be interesting to read of
the considerations behind this choice.”

Jane's also worries in its brief section on Canada that
the heavy spending on the nuclear subs could have an
adverse effect on any follow-up to Canada's $3-billion
program to build six new Halifax-class frigates.

“The effect on the destroyer-frigate building program
could have an impact on NATO force levels if the Halifax
class is not followed by sufficient new construction,” it says.

Jane’s calls the nuclear subs decision “somewhat
startling” and adds:

“Those not directly involved in the decision-making
have concerned themselves with one question: ‘What is to be
its task?’ ”

NOTES ADVANTAGES

The review says the main advantages of nuclear subs
from the Canadian point of view must be their speed, their
indefinite range and their suitability for work under the
ice-covered Arctic Ocean.

It notes a nuclear submarine could get from Halifax to
the Baffin Bay-Davis Strait area in three days, compared
with six for a diesel sub, in the event of a Soviet incursion in
that area.

But it questions the importance attached by the
Mulroney government to Arctic defence.

Jane’s says missile-launching Soviets subs don’t need to
be in Canadian waters to threaten North America and notes
that other countries challenge Canadian claims to
sovereignty in wide parts of the Arctic.

“The Soviet SS-N-18, (SS-N)-20 and (SS-N)-23 can
already reach the whole of Northern Hemisphere land mass
without their launching submarines moving more than a few
(nautical) miles from their bases,” Jane's says.

It also notes:

“Not everybody is in agreement about the geographical
limits of this area,” claimed by Canada.

The United States and some other countries view the
Northwest Passage as an international waterway.

Jane's accepts the Canadian cost estimate of $7.5 billion
Cdn if Ottawa buys and builds under licence the British
Trafalgar class submarine. But if it acquires for the
American Los Angeles class, “the overall figure could leap to
somewhere around $11-$12 billion (Cdn),” Jane's says.

LETHBRIDGE, ALTA. (CP) — Don't expect Finland to
get off to the same start in this'year's Canada Cup as it did in
1964,

After two games in 1984, they had been-outscored 16-1
and any chances of making the semifinals vanished. But the
1987 version of Team Finland has improved in all areas.

It is a team of veterans with interfational, NHL and
Stanley Cup experience.

Edmonton Oilers star Jari Kurri, captain of the Finnish
team, said two strong showings recently against Czechoslo-
vakia — a 1-1 tie and a 7-3 victory — have given the tem
something to build on heading into the Canada Cup.

“I think with those two games we know we can play
good hockey,” said Kurri, one of the NHL's most potent goal
scorers.

“It gave us a lot of confidence coming into the
tournament.

Against Sweden we lost badly the first game and in the
second game we lost, but had a lot of chances. It was a good
way to learn what to expect here.”

It's Kurri's second Canada Cup effort and he has no
doubt Finland boasts a stronger tean than in 1984.

(formerly Devils); Raino Summanem (Canucks); and Petri
Skriko (Canucks).

In addition, 11 other players have been either drafted or
signed by NHL teams.

Finland's big line heading into an exhibition game today
with the Canadian Olympic team is undoubtedly Kurri,
Hagman atid Tikkanen.

Kurri was a linemate with Tikkanen last season with
the Stanley Cup champion Oilers, but he'll have to play
without the third player on that line — Wayne Gretzky.

“Sure, it will be different because there's a big
difference between Wayne and Matti,” said Kurri. “But I've
played with Matti before and we know what each other can
do. And we're learning more game by game.”

Winning the Stanley Cup last season resulted in a long
season for Kurri and Tikkanen, but Kurri said he had no
reservations about playing in the Canada Cup.

“I decided to play much earlier, before the season
ended,” said Kurri. “It's been tough. It cut the summer short
and it's going to make for a long year coming up, but it feels
great to be able to play for your national team.”

Finland will play Czechoslovakia Tuesday before

The list of players with NHL experience is overhwelm
ing. It includes: Esa Tikkanen (Oilers); Matti Hagman (For-
merly Oilers); Jari Gronstrand (North Stars); Ville Siren
Reijo Ruotsalainen

opening the Canada Cup tournament Friday in Hartford
against Team USA. A win over the Americans is important
if the Finns want to make the playoff round.

“We've made making the playoffs our goal,” said Kurri.
“We're looking to have a good tournament and maybe
surprise some teams along the way.”

SHIP
OF
FOOLS

Canadian Press reporter Paul
Woods calls them “the biggest ship
of fools in the Canadian Football
League.” One doesn't need to be hit
over the head with a two-by-four to
figure out Woods is talking about
the Calgary Stampeders.

It came as a bit of a shock when I
first heard the Montreal Alouette's
had folded earlier this year. Just the
same I was sure that no other CFL
club would be forced to follow Mon-
treal’s lead. But the ship of fools in
Calgary is giving me_ second
thoughts.

It would appear as if the Stam-
peders’ board of directors know how
to run their football club on the field
better than the coaching staff. Why
else would they have fired head
coach Bob Vespaziani, general man-
ager Earl Lunsford and player per
sonnel director Bud Riley?

Lunsford was axed after he re-
fused to give Vespaziani his walking
papers. Lunsford argued that mid
season firings are usually futile.

But it is the board of directors of
this sinking ship who truly amaze
and baffle me. Their job is to look
after the finances and the paper
work. It's the coaching staff's job to
look after the team’s performance.
And the general manager's job is to
act as a go between.

If the general manager does not
think the coaching staff is doing a
proper job, then he should be the

Surj
Rattan

one to decide if a firing is in order.

But those clowns who are mas-
querading as the board of directors
just can't seem to get that through
their thick heads.

The Stampeders are losing
money, and a lot of it. The board of
directors are cutting spending in
areas not related to the on-field
product.

So now that they've managed to
bone up on the financial end of
things, the board of directors are
setting out to totally screw up their
on-field product. It seems quite
clear to me that the board of dir-
ectors are hell bent on driving the
Stampeders as far into the ground
as they can.

Not only is this motely crew of
misfits bad financial managers,
they're also a bunch of hypocrites.
Earlier this month the board of
directors met privately to deal with
the problems of a huge deficit and
dwindling fan support.

After that meeting both Vespazi
ani and Lunsford were given quali-
fied votes of by the

boot to Vespaziani and Lunsford.
Votes of confidence don't last too
long in old cow town.

And why fire your head coach and
general manager right after your
team wins a game? The Stampeders
beat the Ottawa Rough Riders
89-38. Then what do all of those
Albert Einsteins on the board do?
They turn around and fire the coach
and g.m. Now there's some good old
fashioned logic for you.

The Stampeders managed to beat
the B.C. Lions Thursday night
31-26. Now I suppose current head
coach Lary Kuharich’s job is on the
line. °

I can just hear the threat the
board of directors must have issued
to Kuharich right after his squad
downed the Lions.

“Listen here Kuharich! Vespazi-
ani and Lunsford aren't the only
ones around here who can be fired!
If you even think about winning one
more game, you're history, boy!”

As Paul Woods says: “Welcome to
the wacky world of the Calgary
8

board. Then, just a couple of week
later, they turn around and give the

ders, the biggest ship of
fools in the Canadian Football
League.”

EDMONTON (CP) — The injury
situation of the Ottawa Rough Riders
and the Edmonton Eskimos were a
study in contrasts as they prepared for
today’s Canadian Football League
game.

Matt Dunigan’s hamstring pull has
forced the Edmonton Eskimos to start
Damon Allen at quarterback, but that's
about the only position where Ottawa
head coach Fred Flick hasn't had to
alter his lineup.

Todd Dillon will start for the Riders,
with Reggie Collier as backup and
10-year veteran Joe Paopao on the
reserve list.

The Riders have been hit so hard by
injuries that Glickwill be one player
short of the 15-man import limit for the
game at Commonwealth Stadium.

All the changes may hurt Glick's plan
to put pressure on opposing quarter.
backs.

Before the impact of all the injuries
became apparent, he said: “We've gone
back to the drawing board. We're going
to spend less time on pass coverages
and more on blitzes.

“The timing isn’t there. We have to
develop better pressure on the
quarterback.”

The devastation wrought on Ottawa
by injuries was so great that coaches
Pal Sartori and Larrye Weaver had to
take part in some drills so there were
enough bodies on the field.

Besides inserting Allen at quarter.
back, Edmonton coach Joe Faragalli
will add offensive lineman Trevor
Bowles as insurance against Hector
Pothier’s sore ribs.

There is pressure on Allen to
produce because he has faltered this
year after giving strong performances
in the two previous seasons.

“I feel I'll come through,” Allen said.
“I'm ready and prepared to play.”

With Dunigan out of the lineup and
backup Tracy Ham not ready for
full-time exposure, Allen has to shoul
der the load.

“It's important to show the team can
win with him” said offensive coach
Steve Goldman. “We have to win. And
to wion, Damon has to get the job at
quarterback done.

“Damon has had a rough time so far
this season in terms of what he expects
of himself. He must rise to the occasion
of the opportunity.”

Faragali said he will put Ham into
the game so the rookie gets exposure
to the pace of CFL play.

“Somewhere down the line, if Damon
gets hurt or Matt gets hurt again, he
may have to play,” Faragalli said
“We're going to make sure he gets ‘in
there so he won't feel naked the next
time.”

Additions to the Ottawa lineup for
the game include running back Cedric
Minter, wide receiver Troy Smith,

tackle Brad Fawcett, inside receiver
Mike Hudson, cornerback Darryl Hall,
defensive lineman Robert Weir and

Injuries continue to
hurt B.C. Lions’ squad

Armour, 29, was in his sixth season
with the Lions and had been expected
to replace Mervyn Fernandez, the
former all-star receiver who played out
his option to join the Los Angeles
Raiders of the National Football
League.

In six games this season — Armour
missed two starts with a knee injury —
he had 25 receptions for 305 yards and
two touchdowns, with both majors
coming in a 44-1 romp over the
Saskatchewan Roughriders in the
opening game of the regular season
two months ago.

Armour apparently dropped three
passes against Calgary that the B.C.
coaching staff thought were catchable.

B.C., now 5-3, next plays Aug. 30 at
B.C. Place Stadium against the Winni-
peg Blue Bombers.

VANCOUVER (CP) — Fullback
Jamie Taras was placed on the 60-day
injured list Friday and import wide
receiver Ned Armour was released in
the wake of the third loss of the season
by the British Columbia Lions in the
Canadian Football League.

Taras, 21, broke his right leg in two
places below the knee Thursday in
Calgary during a 31-26 loss to the
underdog Stampeders.

The third-round draft choice from
the University of Western Ontario
underwent surgery Friday in Van-
couver. Converted to the offensive
backfield from the guard position, the
230-pound Taras had been promoted to
a starting position after injuries side-
lined import John Henry White and
Anthony Parker.

Soviets down Canada

HAMILTON (CP) — Right winger
Sergei Svetlov scored two goals and
assisted on two more as the Soviet
Union defeated Canada 9-4 in a pre-
tournament Canada Cup hockey game
Saturday.

Mario Lemieux scored all four Can
adian goals

Yuri Khmylev, Igor Larionov, Viac
heslav Fetisov, Aleksandr Semak, Val-
eri Kamensky, Andrei Lomakin and
Andrei Khomutov also scored for the
Soviet Union, which broke to 2-0 lead
by the end of the first period and
increased its lead to 4-1 by the end of
the second period

Mario Lemieux scored both of Can
ada’s goals.

The loss was Canada's collection of
NHL stars of the immensity of the task
it faces once the tournament opens
Aug. 28.

Canada plays Czechoslovakia here
this afternoon and completes its
exhibition schedule against the Soviets
on Tuesday night in Calgary.

A crowd of 11,100 had little to cheer
about until Lemieux scored three
consecutive goals in less than five
minutes late in the game to move

ja within 7-4.

Boggs bags homer to
give Red Sox 6-5 win

BOSTON (AP) — Wade Boggs hit his
21st home run with two out in the
seventh inning, lifting the Boston Red
Sox to a 6-5 American League victory
Saturday over the Minnesota Twins.

Rookie Mike Greenwell and Dave
Henderson also hit solo homers as the
Red Sox handed Minnesota's AL West
leaders their fifth loss in a row.

Boggs hit an 0-1 pitch off Les
Straker, 6-8, into the Boston bullpen in
right-centre for his homer after the
Twins had pulled into a 5-5 tie on a
three-run homer by Gary Gaetti in the
seventh.

Boston starter Bob Stanley allow-

ed only two runs, one unearned, in six
innings before needing relief help from
Calvin Schiraddi with runners on first
and second and none out in the
seventh.

Schiraldi retired the first two
batters he faced before Gaetii tied the
score with a shot into the left-field
screen for his 26th homer.

Schiraldi hung on the rest of the way
to improve his record to 8-5.

The Red Sox took a 1-0 lead on
singles by Dwight Evans and Sam
Horn and Steve Lombardozzi's fielding
error on Henderson's ground ball in the
second inning.
