But I wouldn't mortgage the house on it.” Eagleson said he saw no changes in Soviet philosophy when he last met with the Soviet Ice Hockey Feder. ation in April and May during the world championships in Moscow. CANUCKS NEED HELP “I would be surprised if he gets the Soviets to release any players,” said Eagleson. “It will be difficult but I wish him luck because they need the players.” Larionov, a centre, and Krutov, a left winger, are 26- year-old linemates on Red Army and were drafted by the Canucks in the 1985 and 1986 entry drafts, respec- tively. Arthur Griffiths, Canucks’ assistant to the chairman, said the club made a sub- stantial financial pitch to the Soviets and that his younger brother was chosen for the trip because of his low profile. “He was considered the best candidate to go for reasons of anonymity,” said Arthur. “If I was to go I would be missed (by the media). “It's a longshot but nobody can ever say they don't have the ability to play in the NHL.

Dawson, 32, becomes a free agent this winter and has been unable to negotiate a new contract with the National League team. His current earnings are reported to be approximately $1.1 million US a year. The Expos are offering him a one-year pact with a team option-year attached, while the outfielder wants a three- year deal. He will reach his 10th anniversary with the base- ball club on Sept. 4, allowing Pm him to veto any trade general manager Murray Cook may arrange. Dawson has been the sub- ject of trade rumors through- out the past two seasons. Fishing VANCOUVER (CP) — Pro golfer Jim Nelford, whose doctors said he would never play golf again after a crip- pling boating accident last year, will resume playing professionally next week, his manager said Tuesday. “My doctors have informed me that playing in a limited number of events at this time won't hurt the arm,” Nelford said in a news release read by his agent Michael Barnett. “I'm excited to be getting back to play. I just want to start doing it. My swing feels good and I'm getting my strength back.” “Our coaches Jack Clos- key, Doug Hickey, Karen Popoff, Leigh Halisheff, Tina Baker and Pamela Braun give up a week of their summer to work with the kids for eight hours a day. That's pretty unselfish, and believe me, they don't get rich either,” says Pilatzke. The camp is operated on a non-profit basis with all sur- plus funds being spent on awards. The coaches’ love of the game is obviously rubbing off on the players. It is expected last year’s enrolment of 55 will be surpassed.

Nelford, a native of Bur- naby, B.C., earned $60,276 in 1985 before he was struck by a boat's propeller while waterskiing at Lake Seguro, Ariz., last Sept. 8.
