CHICAGO BEARS Confident about season CHICAGO (AP) — Yes, they know about the Super Bowl jinx. Yes, they are aware of their own vulnerabilities. The Chicago Bears, nevertheless, open the 1986 National Football League season as confident as the team that ripped through 1985 with one loss and piled up the biggest winning margin in Super Bowl history in their 46-10 vietory over New England. “The want is still here for all of us,” Duerson insists. “We are not concerned.” “As long as I can hit somebody I don't care who the defensive co-ordinator is,” said linebacker Otis Wilson, who will play without Buddy Ryan's guidance for the first time in his NFL career. The weak NFC Central Division and a generally weak schedule virtually guarantee the Bears a playoff spot. But once there, there are factors working against them. One is history. Super Bow! champions have repeated only four times since the first game in 1967. The Green Bay Packers did it, the Miami Dolphins did it and the Pittsburgh Steelers did it twice. No team has repeated since the Steelers won in 1980 and only one, the 1982-83 Washington Redskins, has even played in two straight championship games. WINNERS SLIDE “The sacrifices you have to make to win a Super Bowl take a lot out of you,” Bill Walsh said last season as his San Francisco 49ers slid from their 18-1 Super Bowl year to 106 and a loss to the New York Giants. “Then you get all the off-season hoopla season is on you before you can even think al up with less concentration and that leads that kill you.” The Bears have lost two starters to kn cornerback Leslie Frazier and wide receiver McKinnon. They start without Ryan, the architect of their heralded 46 defence that was tops in the NFL in almost every category last season. Ryan left after the Super Bow! to become head coach with the Philadelphia Eagles. The new defensive co-ordinator is Vince Tobin, who has installed his own system of formations and coverages — even using 320-pound defensive tackle William (The Refrig. erator) Perry as a linebacker. The Bears pave re-signed former all-pro safety Todd Bell and linebacker Al Harris Both sat out last season in contract disputes. One of Tobin's chief tasks is finding a replacement for Frazier; second-year man Reggie Phillips and rookie Vestee Jackson are the main contenders. NEEDS REPLACEMENT What worries head coach Mike Ditka is finding someone to replace McKinnon at wide receiver. Ken Margerum, who safety Dave was expected to start in McKinnon's spot opposite Willie Gault, has been slowed by a muscle pull, and Ditka has not been happy with the other backup receivers. Then there's the new Bear, Neal Anderson, the team's No. 1 draft choice from Florida. Though a running back, Anderson could see action as a kickoff returner and wide receiver while he waits for all-time NFL rushing leader Walter Payton to retire. Kurt Becker, a starting guard who went down with a knee injury in the third game last year, returns this year. The main cogs in the Bear offence are Payton and quarterback Jim McMahon The Bears have won 26 of McMahon's last 30 starts and the club is 50-23 when Payton gains 100 yards. But McMahon has been slowed by a sore hip muscle and, says Ditka, extra pounds. There's also concern Payton might be a step slower at age 32. One thing is certain — the Bears will still put on a show. When the football is near the goal line, the biggest Bear of all, Perry, will come barrelling out of the fullback position, from which he scored two rushing touchdowns and one receiving last year “We'll keep using him and teams will keep saying, ‘We can stop him,’ and they won't,” Ditka said. Perry fined CHICAGO (AP) — William (The Refrigerator) Perry of the Chicago Bears apparently has been fined $2,000 for a crunching tackle delivered against St. Louis Cardinals’ quarterback Neil Lomax in last week's exhibition game. Chicago television station WBBM broadcast the report Friday Perry, a defensive lineman weighing about 320 pounds, picked up Lomax and slammed him to the ground during the first half of the Cardinals’ 14-7 vietory at Soldier Field. Perry was not ejected from the National Football League exhibition game. WBBM-TV did not disclose the source of its report. Top seeds lead way in U.S. Open NEW YORK (AP) — Top seeds Mar- tina Navratilova of the United States and Ivan Lendl of Czechoslovakia cap- tured hard-fought vietories Saturday to lead the way into the fourth round of the U.S. Open tennis championships. Navratilova, seeking her third women’s singles crown in the last four years, downed American Kathleen Horvath 6-4, 6-2 after Lendl, the de- fending men’s champion, ousted Swe- den's Jonas B. Svensson 6-3, 6-3, 6-4. Besides Navratilova, other seeded women winning third-round matches Saturday included No. 3 Steffi Graf of West Germany, No. 8 Bonnie Gadusek of the U.S., No. 11 Gabriela Sabatini of Argentina, No. 13 Stephanie Rehe of the U.S., No. 15 American Kathy Jordan and Italy's Raffaella Reggi. Joining Lendl in the fourth round were No. 4 Stefan Edberg of Sweden, No. 8 Henri Leconte of France, Aaron Krickstein and Dan Goldie. Graf .was leading 61, 10 when Beverly Bowes retired because of a viral infection; Gadusek defeated Helen Kelesi of Edmonton 6-7, 6-2, 6-2; Sabatini stopped Bulgaria's Katerina Maleeva 7-5, 6-2; Reif routed Britain's Annabel Croft 6-2, 6-3; Jordan jolted Australia’s Elizabeth Minter 6-1, 6-3, and Reggi downed American Michelle Torres 6-3, 6-2. Edberg needed almost three hours to edge Ramesh Krishnan of India 7-6, 3-6, Dupu EDMONTON (CP) — Todd Fanning of Winnipeg sank a nine-inch putt for par on the final hole and won the Pepsi Canadian junior golf championship Fri- day for the second straight year. “This is the one I wanted all year,” said Fanning, 18, who is just about to start his second year on the Ohio State University golf team in the United States. “It's tough to repeat anything.” Fanning joined Robbie Jackson of Ile Bizard, Que. (1972-73) and Brent Franklin of Vancouver (1963-84) as a two-time winner His victory was particularly re- markable because he shot a 9 over par for an 80 on the opening day, 10 strokes more than the leader. “| was patient all week,” he said. Fanning started the final round Fri- Explosion shakes tower MONTREAL (CP) — Engineers say it’s too early to tell whether any major structural damage was caused by two explosions Friday that shook the un finished tower in the Olympic Stadium and caused the postponement of an Expos baseball game. The blasts occurred in mid-after noon, about half an hour after 10 tanks of acetylene gas near the top of the 10-storey tower in east-end Montreal caught fire. The flames heated two oxygen tanks which blew up. No one was injured. There were about 60 workers on the site at the time but iron worker Alvin Sylvain, who the crew, said they all left well before the blasts. Sylvain said he ordered the workers out because he feared the acetylene, which burns intensely but does not explode, would spread to the oxygen tanks. He said he did not know what caused the initial fire but suggested it could have been due to a spark or a leaking hose from an acetylene tank The scheduled baseball game be tween the National League Montreal Expos and the San Diego Padres played Saturday. Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and his family were sche duled to attend the game The stadium was finsihed for the 1976 summer Olympic Games but work on completing the tower was delayed for eight years because of large cost overruns. The work, resumed two years ago, is to be finished by the spring of 1987. 64, 46, 64; Leconte ousted Mansdorf of Israel 46, 63, 7-5, 6-2; Krickstein defeated fellow American Mel Purcell 6-3, 6-2, 6-1, and Goldie of the U.S. outlasted Barry Moir of South Africa 60, 46, 67, 6-1, 62. In doubles play, the team of Jill FP Ont., and “Patty Fendick of the U.S., ad- vanced to the third round with a 34, 6-4, 6-1 win over American Ann Hen- ricksson and Christine Jolissaint of Switzerland. “I had more than I wanted,” Lend! said after his victory. “I mean, the man plays tough.

Benefitting from the 14+-hit attack was Joe Johnson who checked the American League play. is places third day with a one-stroke lead. He lost three shots to par through the first 12 holes but was even the rest of the way for a 2-over 74 on the day and an S-over David Morland of Thornhill, Ont., who was four strokes behind and in seventh place when the day began, charged to tie for the lead from the 12th through 17th holes. He bogeyed the 450-yard par-4 18th. His round of 71 gave him a 293 total. Dan Dupuis of Genelle, was third at 294. Jean-Francois Leverdure of Rose- mere, Que., was fourth at 295. Morland was 2 under par on the front nine Friday. After 15 holes he was part of a three-way tie for first place with Fanning and Dupuis. At that point, Garney Vezina of Boischatel, Que., who opened the day in second place one stroke behind Fanning, was still one stroke back. Vezina triple-bogeyed the 17th to fall by the wayside. Dupuis double-bogeyed the 16th hole and bogeyed the 18th to fall back. Morland pushed his tee shot on the final hole into the trees and settled for a bogey five putt gave me a little bit of feel for the greens, and it gave me confidence.” However, his day was far from done. following Fanning and Dupuis. But Fanning failed to fall apart on the final hole, although he later admitted a sense of relief when he made the final putt. “I'd been runner-up in the Manitoba amateur this year, runner-up in the Manitoba junior, our amateur team came in second last week (at the Canadian amateur), and this week our (junior) team was third,” Fanning said. “I didn’t want to finish second agaii Tieing for fifth place at 297 were Marty Scoles of Vancouver and Mare Cousineau of Ste-Dorothee, Que. The top juvenile, Michael Weir of Bright's Grove, Ont., ended in a dead- lock for seventh at 296 with Vezina and Miron Osadchuk of Vancouver. Pillaleads Aquanauts at championships By ED CHERNOFF The 1986 Provincial swim champion ships held at the Canada Games pool in New Westminister Aug. 21-24, hosted the largest attendance to date of swimmers and spectators from eight B.C. regions. The high noise factor of an indoor y and large crowd combined with being swum in two back to back pools simultaniously sometimes caused a “zoo-like” atmosphere to occur. This was particularily the case durimg the first day of heats. Swimmers were forced to constantly keep their wits about them when swimming heats under two starters in the same building. The 20 Castlegar Aquanauts at tending the meet were led ty Wendy Pilla of Division 6, breaking a pro vincial record swimming the 50 metre freestyle in 27.82 seconds. Pilla placed third in the 100 metre butterfly, 2nd in 100 metre freestyle and third in 100 metre backstroke. Div. 1 Boys — Chris Chernoff placed sixth in 50 metre backstroke and 8th in the consolation final of 50 metre free- style. Div. 3 Girls — Aimie Chernoff placed seventh in 50 metre backstroke, 7th in 50 metre freestyle, 5th in the con solation final of 100 metre individual medley and 6th in the consolation final of 50 metre breaststroke. Lori Picco placed sixth in the con solation final of 50 metre butterfly. Div. 4 Boys — Alex Hartman placed eighth in the consolation final of the 200 metre individual medley, fifth in the consolation final of the 100 metre breaststroke. Div. 4 Girls — Wendy Gouk placed sixth in the consolation final of the 100 metre breaststroke. In Div. 5 Boys, The Castlegar medley relay team placed seventh Steve Junker placed seventh in the consolation final of the 50 metre free style. Steve Junker and Peter Oleski both placed in the consolation final of the 100 metre breaststroke The most inspirational race for Kootenay swimmers watching was the Div. 7 boys 100 metre breaststroke. John Fairburn of Colville took more than two seconds, off the previous provincial record of 1:08:58 to swim it in 1.06:35 — a new record that will be hard to break.
