Calvary Baptist Church young people Venessa Dooley and tan Mason portray Sampson and Delilah during the reenactment of a Bible scene. Money raised for youth group The well-performed pre-service skits following the pancake breakfast, served by Calvary Baptist Church young people, drew many laughs last Sunday morning when the talented church group treated the audience to a few minutes of high drama. The action, though humorous at times, presented welt the portrayal of Christian principles, as talent over- flowed before a group of interested friends who contributed toward sup- port of about a dozen of the church young people's trip Feb. 22 to Caron- port, Sask., and their involvement in Youth Quake 90, a Christian in- spiration to all and a once-in-a-while social gathering with youth of other parts of Canada, a news release says.

Lindros, 16, of the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey League is rated among the top junior Prospects in Canada by many scouts for the professional league. Some NHL teams have privately expressed concern that Lindros, eligible for the 1991 NHL draft, may be lost to the rival Global Hockey League which plans to begin in the fall. “Our bylaws don’t allow for the drafting of players’ not yet 18,” Gregory said. ‘‘No team would be able to select him this year."” NHL rules stipulate a player must reach his 18th birthday by Sept. 15 to be eligible. Eighteen-year-olds may be taken only in the first three rounds of the entry draft Gregory attended a news conferen- ce to promote the 1990 entry draft June 16 to be held at the Pacific Coliseum, home-arena-of the Van- couver Canucks Lindros is a six-foot-four, 220- pound forward many scouts consider a franchise-type player in the mold of Mario Lexieux of the Pittsburgh Penguins or Wayne Gretzky of the Los Angeles Kings. NATIONAL TEAM He played for the Canadian team that won the world junior champion- ship in early January and turns 17 on Feb. 28. ¢ “I understand these exceptional athletes — people like Bobby Orr and Bobby Hull — do come along,”’ said Gregory, NHL vice-president of hockey operations. ‘‘The last great athlete everyone wanted to take early was Denis Potvin. “*He waited until he was a 20-year old and it certainly didn’t hurt his career. He played five years in junior and was outstanding.”’ CFL to stick with the equalization draft By STEVE McALLISTER HAMILTON (CP) — The CFL's board of governors decided Friday that its much-debated equalization draft management council will work out details for the three year-old draft, which helps the two last-place clubs.

CasNews photo by Ed Mills will continue — for now. The B.C. Lions and Ottawa Rough Riders will choose three players each from a list of players left un- protected by the remaining six clubs. The draft will probably be held when league officials meet April 5-6 in Toronto. Roy McMurtry, the league's chairman, said the council, made of the eight general managers, couldn’t decide on the draft’s future in a meeting Thursday, but it received the go-ahead by a unanimous decision from the governors “Everyone accepts the fundamental view of working towards parity and that spirit prevailed (Friday),” said McMurtry, adding that the future of the draft will be discussed again next year Baseball talks go on as opening day nears NEW YORK (AP) — Players and owners will talk through the weekend for the first time as the lockout hit Day 10 and spring training games are being cancelled. There was slight progress Friday on a side issue, and negotiators were to return commissioner Fay Vincent's office today in‘an effort to break the stalement on salary arbitration eligibility. “*Make no mistake, we still have a very large chasm on the central issues," union chief Donald Fehr said. : The union proposed a minimum salary of $112,500 for 1990, $27,500 more than management's offer, with made on the union's demand to roll back the eligibility limit for satary~ar bitration to two years. “‘Now that we aré debating matters sanely, instead. of the iculous of two days ago, it doesn't f-living increases in years. No headway, however, was mean everything is hunky dory,”’ Exhibition openers already passed by Eugene Orza, the union's No. 2 of ficial, said “I'm not sure it can get done this weekend,” said New York Mets pit cher David Cone, who attended the meeting Meanwhile, exhibition openers will not be played Thursday as scheduled, the first such delay since the 1976 lockout The sides agree players need about three weeks of practice before opening day and are focusing on saving the April 2 start of the regular season “People think it’s gding too long already,’ New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner said. ‘‘I’m hopeful **I thought this weekend would be the turning point. We couldn't go much longer than this week without a settlement. But if we don’t get a set- tlement, I guess we'll have to réassess and maybe take a recess."* Fehr said only 15 per cent of Friday’s 34-hour meeting was spent on salary arbitration. Management negotiator Chuch O'Connor Said owners ‘“‘don’t have any room for movement in that area."” Fehr insisted players must get two- year eligibility — which they gave back in the 1985 negotiations — although there is speculation owners can make enough concessions to keep it at three. The sides agree to move up the deadline for clubs to decide whether they will offer salary arbitration to veterans not eligible to become free agents twice within five years. The deadline, now in late January, will move to October. The union with- drew its request for complete removal of the five-year restriction. The union also said it will agree to management’$ request for a two-year reopener only if owners agree to lessen the amount of 992 salaries that players could lose in a 1992 lockout Many players have lowered their 1990 Salaries to protect against a lockout by taking a larger signing bonus or adding income to later years.
