The awar: of good spo: jp and Grey haired old Paopao leds new look Lions Big name stars absent, ordinary VANCOMVER (CP) — Joe Paopao celebrated his first game at B.C. Place Stadium in seven years as the home-team quarterback by leading the B.C. Lions to a 24-23 comeback victory over the Edmonton Eskimos in a CFL exhibition game Thursday night Paopao came off the bench in the fourth quarter to direct a five-play, 48-yard drive that ended with the veteran scoring on a one-yard plunge. Tony Martino converted for the win- ning point The greying Paopao, two days short of his 35th birthday, was an assistant coach for the Lions in 1989. His last game as a player here for the Lions was the 1983 Grey Cup when he watched from the bench. Paopao started against Edmonton and played the first quarter before giving way to Rickey Foggie and rookie Major Harris. Paopao finished with 17 completions in 25 pass attem- pts for 187 yards. Harris, a highly touted rookie from West Virginia, handled eight snaps in the third quarter withoyt much suc- cess. He completed one of four passes for seven yards and was sacked twice. B.C.’s other celebrated off-season acquisitions, Doug Flutie and Mark Gastineau, did not play in the team’s first exhibition. The Eskimos also welcomed back a familiar face. Henry (Gizmo) Williams returned after a year in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles and caught a 71-yard touchdown pass from Steve Taylor in the second quarter. Veteran quarterback Rick Worman directed Edmonton to 13 second-half Points as the Esks wiped out a 17-0 B.C. lead after 18 minutes.

What else can I say?"’ the sprinter said in the same downtown Sutton Place hotel where he held his last ‘news conference nearly two years ago —, when he denied he had taken the’ steroids found in his system at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. “I lied and I've admitted it — life goes on,’’ said Johnson, who Promised to compete again free of drugs. ‘‘I was born to run. That's all I've ever wanted to do.”* And his reclusive former coach, who held his own news Ponference later in the day to also comment on this week's report by a federal inquiry into the Johnson scandal, said “his once prize pupil could again compete with the best. “‘He’s still the greatest sprinter in history,”” said Charlie Francis, who also announced his carrer as @ coach is‘over. “He can come back,’’ said Francis, disclosing Johnson ran a world-class time of 10.05 seconds over 100 metres joyed a brief halftime appearance by B.C. owner Murray Pezim, who joined in with squaredancers while wearing a cowboy hat Paopao also threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to Larry Willis. The other B.C. major came when Foggie passed 39 yards to Ray Alexander. Worman was intercepted twice, but did throw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Darrell Colbert in the third quar- ter. - Rookie kicker Ray Macoritti of the University of Western Ontario then kicked field goals of 19 and 24 yards to give Edmonton a 23-17 lead with eight minutes left. Edmonton’s solid running game - 85 yards by Brian Walling — was complemented by the pass catching of rookie Jordan Gaertner of the University of Saskatchewan, who grabbed four for 118 yards It was the first game for the Lions under new head coach Lary Kuharich, signed last November after leaving the Calgary Stampeders.

Czech coach: in awe of Opposition ROME (AP) — Just whose side is this guy on, anyway? Czechoslovakia coach Josef Venglos says West Germany, whom his team-plays Sunday in the World Cup quarter-finals, is the best team in the tournament. He praises virtually every player and German coach Franz Beckenbauer. He gives his players the chance to sightsee in Italy. He admits their position in the final eight is a surprise. tacular performances. But they will be without suspended striker Rudi Voeller. The two highest-scoring teams in the championships will play Sunday in Milan, West Germany has scored 12 goals in four matches, Czechoslovakia 10. Despite the challenge ahead, Venglos has done his best to make sure his players enjoy Italy. “We've been able to do some ing,’’ he said. ‘We've been in WORLD CUP '90 Psychological warfare, perhaps? “Oh no, I truly believe West Ger- many is a great team and the favorite in this World Cup,”’ Venglos said Thursday. ‘‘But I hope that the strong quality of the opposition will improve the quality of our players, too. “‘It will be a competitive game. Our players will play with full confiden- ce They should. After a four-game losing streak in exhibitions just before the World Cup, the Czechoslovaks looked like a different team in this tournament. They routed the United States 5-1 and beat Austria 1-0. After an’ im- Pressive effort in a 2-0 defeat by Italy, Czechoslovakia routed Costa Rica 4-1 in the second round as Tomas Skuhravy scored three times, giving him the World Cup lead with five goals. “Skuhravy and (Ivo) Knoflicek form a pair of very good strikers,” Beckenbaur said. ‘‘However, we are very confident. “Czechoslovakia has been very of- fensive-minded in recent matches. I think they will resort to different tac- tics against us because we have more than one Skuhravy in our lineup.” Indeed, the Germans have Lothar Matrthaeus, Juergen Klinsmann and Andreas Brehme, who have had spec- Florence, Rome, Bari and Como.”’ If they win in Milan, they get to see Turin, wheré the winner plays in the semifinal next week. England will play Cameron at Naples in the other quarter-final game Sunday. On Saturday, defending champion Argentina opposes Yugoslavia at Florence, while Ireland faces Italy at Olympic Stadium in Rome. On Thursday, Irish officials and tournament organizers worked out an agreement for 10,000 tickets to be available to Ireland's fans. Originally, the Irish received only 2,000 tickets for the game. Late Thursday, Irish fans began camping outside the stadium where tickets where to go on sale today. The International Football Association Board, meanwhile, has loosened the offside rule, allowing players to be even with the next-to- the-last defender when receiving a pass from a teammate. Under the current offside rule, an attacker must have one defender between him and the goal when receiving a pass The new interpretation, to take ef- fect July 25, is designed to provide more offence. In another development, Lee Howe-taek resigned Thursday as coach of South Korea’s national soc- cer team, taking responsibility for the squad's failure to win a game at the World Cup Canseco breaks the bank OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Jose Canseco and the Oakland Athiletics have raised the roof of baseball salaries. Canseco has signed a five-year, $23.5-million contract, which in- cluded a $5.1-million salary for the 1995 season. “Obviously this is a contract of major proportions and one that will get a great deal of notoriety and comment,’ Oakland general manager Sandy Alderson said Wednesday at the news conferen- ce announcing the signing. The A’s have now signed four Players to contracts worth more than $3 million a season. Pitchers Dave Stewart and Dennis Ecker- sley and outfielder Rickey Hen- derson preceded Canseco to the $3-million plateau. Canseco is the only player to combine 40 home runs and 40 Stolen bases in a single season. Already in his 4%-year career, Canseco has been voted the American League’s rookie of the year and most valuable player, and he has hit 148 home runs and driven 474 runs. “The new contract relfects his ability as a player and, in many respects, also reflects the dramatic change in the marketplace that has occurred since December of last year,’’ Alderson said. “The contract is unprecedented in its proportions, as were the con- tracts of other players who were signed during this last few-months Period."" The deal erased Don Mattingly as baseball's highest-paid player. In April, Mattingly signed a five- year, $19.6-million with the New York Yankees. Canseco, 25, will earn more than $800,000 a year more than Mattingly. His contract will pay him $2.8 million in 1991, $3.6 million in 1992, $4.1 million in 1993, and $4.4 million in 1994 before breaking through the $5- million barrier. The A’s slugger also will receive a $3.S-million signing bonus, which, coupled with the $2- million salary he will earn this season, will mean he will earn $5.5 million this season “I think the main thing that dic- tated the figure was the market,” Canseco said. ‘The market was going up. “There are two other players who are close to the $4-million mark. The bare facts are what I’ve done during the years, what I represent to the A’s and for the A’s and also the community. That's where we came up with the sum."* Canseco said other players will reap rewards from his contract. Coaching career over for The Chemist, Canary TORONTO (CP) — The careers of Charlie the Chemist and Charlie the Canary are over. Charlie Francis, the former national sprint céach suspended after the Ben Johnson scandal, says he won't resume his coaching career nor will he blow the whistle on any more athletes who use steroids — though he says he knows of&many. Known to insiders as The Chemist during his days with Johnson and Canada’s other top runners, Francis turned the sporting world on its ear at the Dubin inquiry in March 1989 when he disclosed the athletes’ drug use. A virtual recluse since then, Francis emerged Thursday to say his coaching days are over, partly because of the battering his reputation took at the inquiry: “It would be very risky for any athlete to be associated with me,” Francis told a news conference at his lawyer’s highrise office. “It's only reasonable for all concerned that I not" be a coach.”’ And he said there “would be no point” in exposing more cheating. “Now it’s up to governments and the governing bodies of sport to eliminate steroids. Exposi dividuals athletes won't do that."’ he'll apologize on track three weeks ago. Johnson said he hopes the Canadian government will accept one of the major recommendations by Ontario Chief Justice Charles Dubin — that Johnson’s eligibility to run for Canada be left to sports bureaucrats, who have already given him their blessing to race again in September The government imposed a lifetime ban‘on Johnson competing again for Canada, but says it will respond to Dubin's recommendations by the fall, when the sprinter’s two-year ban from international competition ends The Canadian Olympic Association said Thursday that Johnson will be allowed to run for Canada at the 1992 Games in Barcelona if Ottawa lifts its ban The federal inquiry headed by Dubin was sparked by Johnson’s disqualification at Seoul after traces of banned steroids were found in his urine. The scandal cost Johnson an Olympic gold medal and world record in the 100-metre dash, Johnson, 28, appeared relaxed and joked through much of the half-hour news conference, bristling only once when he was peppered with questions about his initial denials of steroid use. “At the time, there was a lot of Pressure on me,”” said Johnson, who admitted at the federal inquiry that he had taken the muscle-building drugs for nearly a decade “Do you want me to drop down, kiss their feet, and say I'm sorry?” Johnson asked. ‘‘I just want to come back clean, set a few records and beat Carl Lewis,”” The American holds the world record of 9.92 seconds over 100 metres since Johnson’s marks of 9.79 in Seoul and 9.83 set in Rome in 1987 have been wiped from the books. =,
