B2 CASTLEGAR NEWS, July 5, 1981 No challengers By Grant Kerr ‘The Canadian Press Edmonton Eskimos will go for the record books this year in the Canadian Football League and there appears to, be no challengers in the Western Division to stop them. Coach Hugh Campbell says the motivation is there — a fourth straight Grey Cup championship — to keep his team from becoming compla- cent. No team in the history of the CFL has won four con- secutive Grey Cups and the last team to win three suc- cessive titles just happens Lo be the 1954-56 Eskimos, led by the legendary Jackie Par- ker. The Eskimos won all four of their exhibition games this season, including a 26-2 tam- ing of B.C. Lions in their final tuneup. The Lions had been undefeated entering their last preseason test. Winnipeg Blue Bombers went to the Western final in 1980 and gave the Eskimos a seare for $0 minutes. But in the exhibition season this year, the Bombers managed only to edge Calgary Stam- peders in their fina! game. With the ofa Kepley. The secondary is quick and hits hard with tac- klers like Ed JOnes. Edmonton also has found special teams. Dave Cutler, the CFL's all-time scoring leader, still finds the range on field goals and punter Hank Ilesic is among the best anywhere. Campbell has holes to fill with the retirement of of- fensive linemen Bob Howes and Mike Wilson, along with the departure of defensive back Greg Butler from last year's 13-3 team. B.C. LIONS The Lions finished fourth and missed the playoffs lest year with an 8-7-1 record, but exhibition wins over Winni- peg and Calgary have raised their stock considerably. Coach Vic Rapp, the only winning coach in the club's history, ran a low-key train- ing camp this season, which veterans say will help come midseason. “The key to us move ue will be its scoring efforts if the of- fensive line falters as it did in exhibition games. Veteran Jimmy Edwards, returning tothe CFL after a three-year absence, did provide a little spark, however, when was absent. Should Brock need to be spelled off from time to time, Mark Jackson is ‘available. The Bombers acquired Jack- son from Toronto Argonauts in exchange for a No. 1 draft pick in next year's college draft t. The defensive team is an- chored by ageless tackle John Helton and hard-hitting middlo lincbacker James Reed. CALGARY STAMPEDERS The Stampeders appear as strong as ever on defence, but the offence has struggled despite the addition of offen- sive co-ordinator Gerry Wil- liams, head coach with the Stamps during the pass-hapy days of Peter Liske in the late 1960s. Ken Johnson dary ‘and the line,” says Rapp. The Lions have made one change on offence, with imp- ort Ricky Ellis moving in at tight end for Harry Holt, who d to the full interlocking scehdule this season, Edmonton's biggest challenge may come from Eastern Division teams. “The interlocking schedule should bring everyone's rec- ord down a little bit because of more difficult travel,” Campbell says. “You'll lose a few more games than you might have otherwise. Although some coaches sya exhibition games don't mean anything, predictions must be based largely on results and therefore the order of finish in the Western Divi- sion in 1981 should be: 1. Edmonton; 2. B.C.; 8. Win- nipeg; 4. Calgary; 5. Sas- katchewan. EDMONTON ESKIMOS The Eskimos strike quickly through the air with quar- tathack Warren Moon throw- g to receivers like Brian Kelly, Waddell Smith, Tom Scott and Brian Fryer. The ground game is seldome used, but Jim Germany still knows how to get across the goal line from in close. Moor starts the season as Edmonton's No. 1 quarter- back after demonstrating in the final half of the 1980 season that he was -the premier quarterback in the CFL. The Eskimos have a feared pass rush, led by Dave Fen- nell, and solid linebacking, anchored by all-star Dan team last weekend in a con- tract dispute. Quarterback Joe Pacpao will have Al Charuk, Tyron Gray and Ellis as his primary receivers, with: running backs Larry Key and John Henry White expected to be given a heavy workload. The pass rush has been spiced up with the acquisition of linemen Tyrone Keys and Mack Moore, both drafted by National Football League teams, and aggressive Larry Crawford has been added to the secondary. - WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS There's a suspicion the Bombers are a two-man team and, if anything happens to quarterback Dieter Brock or wide receiver Mike Holmes, Winnipeg would finish up the track. Brock shattered several “CFL” passing’ records ” fast year while throwing 28 touchdown passes and signed a five-year, $1 million con- tract during the off-season. The rest of his team-mates obviously wanted in on the financial action. Guard Larry Butler and running back William Miller didn't attend training camp and offensive tackle Butch Norman retired, leaving Brock with a depleted sup- port staff. Winnipeg, 10-6 last season, may have trouble duplicating and the i are taking their time in adjusting to the passing philosophies of Wil- lians. Head coach Arde! Wiegandt must be wondering if Calgary is capable of im- proving upon its 9-7 third- place finish of a year ago.

Faragalli has installed the passing offence which he taught in Edmonton and re- ceivers like Emanuel Tolbert, Joey ‘Walters, Dwight Ed- wards and Chris DeFrance should flourish this year. Saskatchewan was 2-2 in exhibition games and the de- fence, which surrendered 469 points in 1980, appears im- proved. Faragalli has veteran quar- terbacks in Joe Barnes and John Hufnagel, plus a prom- ising runner in Lester Town.

Front Kim Tarsoff, Paige Sloan, Accident victims dynamic athletes VANCOUVER (CP) — mT diving accidents were three years and 5,000 kilometres apart. One young man was left a paraplegic at 18, the other a quadraplegic at 19. Julien Wedge and Glen Walters were strangers to each other and the world of athletics. Today they are two of B.C.’s up-and-coming wheelchair athletes. Shaking hands with Wedge is like grasping a block of sandpaper, unmistakable evidence of a man who gets around by working the grey rubber puck rims of his wheelchair. Wedge is a paraplegic, but that only describes his physical limitations. The man himself is another story. At his east end home, a slew of medals won during three years of competition at the Ontario Summer Games for handicapped athletes are tacked up on a piece of plywood, framed by beer bottle labels. A specially modified racing wheelchait rests in the back seat of his car, which is operated by hand controls. In daytime he drives to the track at a secondary school to train, rain or shine. Nights he He recently returned from a 12-day, nine-city tour of B.C.’ one of six athletes demonstrating and discus- sing wheelchair sports with “We wanted to show able- bodied people that we can still compee — show them that there are some top calibre athletes,” he said. “And we wanted to show people they can play sports with frionds.” “I want to try and break some of the Canadian records.” Walters knows Wedge is the man to beat in the B.C. Games. The 27-year-old quadraplegic already has clocked two minutes, 10 seconds in a 400-metre lap and “that’s about the same as Julien Wdge, who is fastest in my. class.” Walters’ class is 1B, a category for quadraplegics who have functioning biceps and triceps in their arms, but virtually no use of ther hands. Walters’ been part of his life for pees years, ever since a summer day in 1978 when he dove into a lake near Kelowna and broke his neck. He admits his athletic activity before the diving accident was confined to “A little bike riding” but when he returns to the Okanagan nbext month. It will be as a full-fledged medalist competitor, slated for entry in the 100, 200 and 400-metre races, volleyball, murderball, discus, javelin and swimming. BOUGHT NEW WHEELS Walters raised money through sponsorships to get a racing wheelchair for $750 from a friend. It is a mofied version of the basic model, although lighter at 20 pounds compared to the usual 45. It is equipped with power rims, When he’s not on the job at a daycare centre, Walters can be found working out at the same track at Wedge. His interest in wheelchair sports is because he's so in the chair.” Wedge never played sports before his accident in 1976 when he collided with a rock while diving into Lake Ontario. He broke the seventh vertebrae in his back and ended up paralyzed from the chest down. That year he attended the Wheelchair Olympiad in Toronto. He saw two kinds of . athletes there: those partic- ipating for exercise and fun; those who were there to win. The, latter were an inspira- tion. Hobs “Now he's preparing for the B.C.

I've done it so many times in the past and survived that another failure is not going to put me under.” He has gone from tele- vision — a talk-show host in the early.'70s and star of the short-lived Waverly'’s Won- ders a few years ago — to Grade B movies — C.C.

P GASP IN DELIGHT The reviewers haven't ex- actly gasped in delight at his performances on the stage, but neither have they hooted scornfully. Still, he has a long way to go to shed the image of an ex-jock cashing in on Jjock-type roles. In Damn Yankees, which opened last week, he plays Joe Hardy, an aging baseball fan who sells his soul to the devil and becomes a young player so Washington Sen- ators can win a pennant. Of his new career Namath says: “I was fortunate to be pointed in the right direction. Now I know I can keep growing and this is one of the areas I want to grow in. I had confidence playing football, but now I listen, I learn. Maybe I train harder than I did once. I'm a real infant at this. I don't have the type of confidence in this that I had in football.” “The physical and mental demands theatre puts on you are not unlike football. You need coordination; you need concentration.” “And I don’t consider what T'm doing as work. Oh, it can bea strain on your mind and nervous system, but work to me is something I don't like doing. I'm having fun.” ANTS ARE SMART Ants have large brains in relation to the size of their body.

It covered the Arrow and Slocan Lakes, parts of New, Denver, Kaslo, Balfour and Nelson, and wound up with scenes of a fishing trip on Kootenay Lake. Denny Edgar, Regional Manager of the Kootenay Boundary Vistors Associa- tion, served as Mr. Ohashi's hostduring his stay and acted as guide during the three-day filming. According to Edgar, the “11 PM Show", a prestigious award-winner and, for 16 years, one of the most highly- rated in Japan, is one of the best possible vehicles to reach a travel-hungry Japan- ese public. Ohashi has taken a person- alinterest in western Canada and British Columbia since he first visited here with his TV crews in 1971.

The extent of the operation appeared to surprise party leader Ed Broadbent who had been suggesting prior to the vote that most of the opposition was based in Sas- katchewan where Premier Blakeney is firmly opposed. But the tally after an emotional debate lasting more than two hours showed 458 party members or 37 per cent of the 1,22 delegates voted against Broadbent's position. While all but a handful of 278 Saskatehcewan delagates opposed support of the constitutional package, it was clear that there was also opposition in the large deleg- ations from Ontario and Brit- ish Columbia.
