Belland is game-smart, however, and one of three rookie defencemen for Vancouver Canucks who has helped take the Pp off the often of the blue line corps. He was recalled last month from the ininors and , Tuesday night scored two goals as the: Canucks upset. Quebec 6-2, ending the Nordiques, seven-game winning streak. “I don't know what sort of ‘dimension we add. to the team,” said Belland, 22. “I just think the older. guys are working harder for us younger’ guys.” “The Canucks were in the throes of a four-game winless - streak last week when: sthey Baer ece four "young: players: di c Andy 8 + Fran Caprice, both 21, from Fr the Amer ‘Hockey Olympic team in Calgary; and right winger Cam Neely, 18, from Portland Winter.

I'm exhausted tonight.’ The Canucks, 18-15-8, also got goals from defenceman Harold Snepsts, Thomas Gradin, Tony Tanti and Neely as Vancouver moved into second place in the Smythe Division, two points ahead of idle Calgary: Flames, who visit the Pacific Coliseum Friday. We wanted to do'as much forechecking as possible without getting eaught in any odd-man breaks,” said Canuck coach Roger Neilson, “It’s to.our credit that we didn’t fold in the third when the game got close.” ‘Coach Michel B. of the Nordi arene: goaltender Daniel Bouchard at the start of the final PAULIN'S RED RIBBON CANDY ile ALMONDILLOS $499 CARIETES « 400 Gr. ........

(AP) — Joe Morgan signed a one- year contract Tuesday with Oakland A’s, two months after playing in what he . thought was his last major league baseball ga: “When I left Philadelphia, I thought that I'd had a great - career and that. the World Series was the end of it,” the 40-year-old second baseman said. “Then I talked te Roy Eisenhardt | and ° found: out there were some other things I could do in baseball.” Eisenhardt, the.A's presi- dent, told Morgan he was wanted as a player on the American League team ‘in Morgan's home town: .Con- tract terms were agreed upon Monday, and Morgan officially joined the club Tuesday. Morgan batted only .230 for the Phillies last season, but his not hitting in Sep * tember helped the team win the league pennant. Morgan asked for his release after the World Series and received it. When asked if 1984 will be his last season as player, Morgan said, “I hope so.” He said he hopes to stay with the A's organization when his playing days end but he still has no desire to become. a manager. period with Quebec trailing 3-0. Brian Ford made his first NHL appearance and the Nordiques closed the score to 3-2 on goals by Peter Stastny and Wilf Paiement before the Canucks replied with three more goals. NORDIQUES FLAT “My team was flat for two periods,” said Bergeron. “Mentally we weren't there, not in the game except for 10 minutes in the third. “Vancouver won all the battles tonight, along the boards, in the corners and.the faceoffs. We weren't skating like we should. Maybe we were over-confident going in against a rookie goalie, I don't know.” The Canucks now have not lost to Quebec in six games going back to Oct. 19, 1981. The Nordiques, 17-12-3, remained in third place in the Adams Division and continue their road trip tonight in Cal “Bouchard was playing well and needed a rest after 13 straight games,” added Bergeron. “He'll play against - Calgary.” 8 GENTLEMEN'S TQURNAMENT . . . shot by Kalesnikoff: Lumber durin; Beaver Valley ‘goaltender stops ig Castlegar Gentlemen's Hockey League's annual tournament held on the weekend.

Knights edge Lakers By The Canadian Press Penticton Knights pulled within two points of Interior Division-leading Vernon with a 43 win over the Lakers Tuesday night in B.C. Junior Hockey League action. In a Coastal Division mat- ch, Abbotsford Flyers came from behind to defeat Rich- mond Sockeyes 8-7. Brett Hull paced Penticton with two goals, while Rob time and Winnipeg this season. It is his third trip to the minors in three months. di and Aaron Scott added singles. Penticton led throughout the game, although Vernon scored three goals in less than six minutes during the. final period. Goal scorers for Vernon were Nick Kapicki, Gavin Shuya and Glen Kirk. Both goaltenders, Pentic- ton's Mike Jeffery and Ver- non's Jim Young, stopped 37 shots. Penticton coach Rick Koz uback was pleased his team pulled together after last week when an upset cost it sole possession of first place. “We gave up some bad goals in the end,” he said. “But, they played a lot bet- ter. They didn’t get intimi- dated. They played strong. Hopefully they are on the way up again.” Doug McFaul scored twice to lead Abbotsford, while singles came from Dave Gil- Blue and Gold Creston wins boys’ trophy The Stanley Humphries blue and Gold Tournament lived up to expectations this year and provided and As predicted, the champion on the boys side was Prince Charles Secondary of Creston.

Point guard Brad | Logan from Invermere was the Most Valuable Player. The Rockers opened the tournament against. the Lakers of David Thompson. An inability to hit the open shop left Stanley Humphries trailing 24-12 at the quarter. Making use of pressure by Andy Lefurgey and Jeff Allen on the Laker guards, the Rockers fought back to within six points on several occasions. When scoring leaders Leigh Lalonde and Cam Lefurgey fouled out the Lakers rebuilt their 12 point lead for 4a 68-56 victory. Lalonde had 18 points and Lefurgey 12. Wayne Postnikoff played an inspired setond half and finished with 11 points. Lincoln Paul was the only Rocker re- bounder who enjoyed a good game as he collected 11. In their second game, the Rockers had a very successful first half, trailing Creston 44-88 at the break. The well balanced Comets opened up an 18-point lead by the end of the third quarter and eventually won 78-56. The Rockers worked hard for the full 40 minutes but simply do.not have the depth of talent that the Creston team enjoys. Dave Dawson led the Rockers in scoring with 11 points and topped the rebound department with nine. Lefurgey and Bruce Wolff chipped in with nine points and seven points respectively. The Revelstoke Mountaineers took on Stanley Humphries in the Saturday night feature game. The crowd enjoyed some spirited basketball that saw the Rockers enter the fourth quarter leading 47-42. The locals took advantage of Revelstoke foul trouble ‘to outscore them 28-12 in the last 10 minutes and record a 15-64 win. All 11 Rocker players scored points, led by the con- sistently hard-working Cam Lefurgey with 20. First year players Jeff Allen, Jack Dillen, and Steve Merry made solid contributions to the team effort. Allen's aggressive rebounding earned him several free throws. Dillen and Merry continue to gain confidence in their ability to run the offense. The girls’ tournament started with a close game be- tween Kelowna and J.L. Czswe of Trail. Kleowna pre- vailed 45-43. The second game saw a spirited effort by the . host Rockettes as they upset the eventual tournament champion Lakettes 57-46, behind Linda King’s 29 points. On Saturday morning, Invermere avenged that loss by knocking off J.L. Crowd 63-54 Game four of the girls tournament between Stanley Humphries and Kelowna could have made the Rockettes tournament champions but the girls had difficulty with Kelowna’s Zone Defence and dropped a 44-82 decision. That set up the Invermere-Kelowna showdown. Every- one predicted a close game but the Kelowna girls couldn't get untracked and were hammered 64-29. The margin of this victory gave the Lakettes the championship on Point Spread. The last game between J.L. Crowe and Stanley Humphries was therefore of no consequence and the Laeaaans lack of enthusiasm showed in a 50-21 loss. Neely and Darren Matias.
