Johnson back on track

TORONTO (CP) — Canadian tr-
ack fans shouldn't expect immediate
success from sprinter Ben Johnson
when he returns to competition next
week, his coach said Thursday.

Loren Seagrave has supervised the
Toronto sprinter’s training since
July; but had been prevented” from
talking to the media by a special
clause written into his contract.

Johnson's adviser, Kemeel Azan,
said Thursday that he was handing
‘‘some of the reins of com-
munication’’ to Seagrave to take
some of the media pressure off the
runner.

Johnson will compete in the 50-
metre sprint next Friday night at the
Hamilton Spectator Indoor Games,
his first race since being suspended
for a positive drug test at the 1988
Seoul Olympics.

More than two years later, John-
son is back in the spotlight. But
Seagrave says he won't be disappoin-
ted if his runner doesn’t win in
Hamilton.

“The one thing I want to stress,
with all the media and-alt the hype;
this ain’t the’world championships,
folks,"’ said Seagrave, referring to

the world outdoor championships in

Japan this summer. ‘That's what
we're pointing at — Tokyo in
August, that’s the real focus for this
season.

“Hamilton, although it's the first
race back in a long time, it’s just
maybe the first step back in a path
up the mountain.””’.

Johnson, who also spoke with a
media gathering at the York Univer-
sity track and field centre, is also

BEN JOHNSON
. . gearing for Tokyo

eager to get back in the starting
blocks.

“I think when I break the first ice,
everything’s going: to be back to
normal,’’ said Johnson, who is being
paid an advertised fee of $10,000
Cdn by the Hamilton organizers.
“But the first one is going to be a
very big one because I’ve been off
for two years.”’

FOR THE RECORD

In Thursday’s story regarding
David Green, it stated he was going
to Penticton to join up with the
Knights, however, the Knights have
since become the Panthers as of the
beginning of the 1990-91 season.

It’s a safe bet that Johnson won't
be able’ to sleepwalk to victory,
despite the absence of archrival Carl
Lewis and American speedster Leroy
Burrell. Three of the four other lanes
have been filled and include

Americans Dennis Mitchell, Andre

‘Cason and Mike Marsh. =

Mitchell was a finalist in the 100
metres at Seoul, Cason won the
world junior 100 metres in Sudbury,
Ont., in 1988, and Marsh is a highly
touted runner from UCLA.

Charlie Francis, Johnson’s former
coach who will do color commentary
on the race for CTV, thinks the
Toronto runner is in for a rough
ride.

“They've kicked him when he's
down,"’ Francis told Southam Syn-
diate columnist Michael Farber.
“'They went and got the top three
American indoor runners over the
last two years.

“They are paying -these guys
peanuts, barely expenses. The run-
ners are coming because they know
they've got Ben at his weakest,

coming back after two years. If they ,
beat hiterhey know they can double

or triple their fees for the major
meets,

Still, Seagrave thinks Johnson can
regain the world indoor record for 60
metres this year. Johnson’s mark of
6.41 seconds was stripped by the In-
ternational Amateur Athletic

i i his issi
of steroid use at the Dubin inquiry.

The current record of 6.50 is held
by American Lee McRae.

“I think (a world record) is
achievable in the first winter, the fir-
st season,” said Seagrave. ‘‘Ben’s
one of the finest sprint performers
and finest sprint athletes, bar none.”"*

SPORTS BRIEFS

Pats get No. 1

NEW YORK — The worst record in the NFL this season paid off-
for the New England Patriots when it was confirmed Thursday that
they will have the No. 1 choice in April’s college draft.

‘The Pats finished 1-15. Cleveland, 3-13, gets the second selection.

‘Atianta; Denver, the Los-Angeles- Rams -and-Phoenix-each finished |

at 5-11, and Atlanta gets the No. 3 pick because its 1990 opponents had
the poorest record among those teams. The Falcons’ opponents finished
129-127 to 137-119 for opponents of both Denver and the Rams, and
143-113 for teams that played Phoenix.

Denver and Los Angeles will flip a coin to determine the fourth
and fifth picks because they finished with the same record dnd their op-
ponents Le tine same records. The same procedure will determine the
eighth and‘hinth spots between Green Bay and San Diego, both 6-10
‘against opponents with records of 129-127.

Dyal going to practice

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — The Los Angeles Raiders have moved
former starting tight end Mike Dyal onto their practice squad as they
prepare for their Jan. 13 NFL playoff game.

Dyal and the rest of the Raiders practised in persistent rain for
about 90 minutes Thursday.

“It’s good to be working, even if that means standing out.in the
rain,” Raiders coach Art Shell said. “If you’re working now, that
means you're still in the hunt (for the Super Bowl).””

Dyal’s return to practice after missing most of the season with a
hamstring pull might indicate a possible roster move in the next 10 days,
although the Raiders would only say that is a possibility.

The Raiders, 12-4 and champions of the AFC West, will play either
Cincinnati, Kansas City of Miami, with the winner of the Jan. 13 game

ing to the AFC game a week later.

Schroeder best in NFL

NEW YORK — Buffalo defensive end Bruce Smith and Los
Angeles Raiders quarterback Jay Schroeder were chosen Thursday as
the AFC's players of the month for December, while Washington run-
ning back Earnest Byner and New Orleans linebacker Rickey Jackson
were picked as the NFC’s top players.

Schroeder led his team to a 5-0 record, completing 59 of 99 passes
for 918 yards and 11 with two i

Buffalo was 4-1 as Smith made 30 tackles, including six sacks.

Byner became the first Redskin to rush for 100 or more yards in
four consecutive games, finishing December with 622 yards on 130
carries with four touchdowns. Washington was 4-1 in the month.

New Orleans went 3-1 as Jackson made 18 tackles, forced three
fumbles and recovered two. He recovered seven fumbles this season.

Paquet near perfect

CANMORE, Alta. — Jean Paquet of Val-Belair, Que., had a near-
perfect day on the shooting range while easily winning his first race at
the Canadian biathlon world championship trials Thursday.

Paquet scored 19 of 20 on the shooting ranges, missing only his last
shot, and had a total time of one hour 11 minutes 57 seconds. for the
20-kilometre competition.

Steve Cyr, also of Val-Belair, scored 18 for 20 to finish second in
1:13:42. Tony Fiala of Quesnel was third in 1:13:43 and Glen Rupertus
of Camrose, Alta., was fourth in 1:13:45.

The surprise winner of the women’s 15-kilometre race was Kristin)
