Rebels thwarted

By GARY FLEMING

TRAILSCASTLEGAR4 |

I had a feeling Friday
nights game was going to go.
against the Rebels from the
moment I tried to get in the
door at Cominco arena.

First of all, the Rebels wer
already losing 2-1 and I was
only six minutes late. Sec-
ondly, I didn’t have my credit
car with my name on it, so
the doorman questioned the
authenticity of my press
pass; after all, his son had an
official one which didn’t look
like mine.

The Rebel attackers were
once again thwarted by Dan
McFarland and his friend,
Goal Post, although they
outshot Trail 15-12 in the
first period and 16-11 in the

. second period. The Rebel de-

one plays and preskaways
throughout the game.

By the time Castlegar
found McFarland’s weakness
on the stick side in the third
period, it was too late.

Gary Baines and Tim Len-
ardon were all.the firepower

Trail needed to dispose of the

Rebels. Tenardon scored
three times, and Baines
scored two shorthanded
goals and picked up two as-
sists, As both Trail players
played excellent hockey.
Baines should also get top
marks on the score cards for
his Olympic-calibre dives.

Ray Ferraro scored at his
regular season pace, picking
up four points on one goal
and three assists, and Doug
Miller contributed a goal and
two assists.

For Castlegar, the ‘Pres-
sure Cooker’ once again
picked up a goal and two
assists, Barry crudland
scored one and Barry Steliev
assisted twice. Terry Naz-
aroff and Mike Nevalkshonoff
were the Rebel marksmen in
the third period.

Bill Sofiak must have re-

membered my previous com:

ment, about stickwaving as
MeIntyre threatened to
carve up his face in the third
period. He calmly dropped
his gloves and stick, waited
for McIntyre to do the same
and then promptly showed
the crowd how gutless Mc-

Intyre really was. Somehow,
Bill collected an extra two
minutes for unsportsmanlike
conduct.

One-thousand and five-
hundred and seventy people
paid to witness the incidence.

emphasis on free skating

Canadian skier Steve Pod-

in the women’s World Cup
race and finished with a time
of one minute, 30.07 seconds,
coming in 28th place. .

Tn the final race of the sea-

Franz Heinzer of Switzer-

scored a rare giant slalom
victory Saturday over Inge-
mar Stenmark of Sweden in
World Cup skiing - compe-
tition,

Mahre was clocked in one
minute, 87.93 seconds on his
second run down the long,
65-gate course. He was 33-
hunsredthr of a second faster
than Stenmark, erasing tho
Swed’s 19-hundredths of a
second lead after the first

run.
Mahre finished with ‘a
combined time of 9:12.76,

‘The victory enabled Mahre
to gain ground on Stenmark
in the World Cup over-all

points, giving him 234 for the
season, compared with Sten-
mark's 260.
