ROUGHRIDERS Jones won't start today By The Canadian Press Defensive back Andre Jones intercepted a pass and knocked down a sure touch down strike last week, but the veteran import won't be starting when British Colum bia Lions move into Regina's Taylor Field today to take on the Saskatchewan Roughrid. ers. The 28-year-old Nevada. Las Vegas grad, and a four year Canadian Football League veteran, was brilliant in replacing the injured Billy McBride in B.C.’s 22-7 win over Montreal Concordes, but will return to his backup role as a sixth defensive back against his old club. “Andre is our situational player and in our scheme of things, there's certain things we want him to do,” says B.C head coach Don Matthews. “It's not as if he beat out Billy McBride, Billy was slightly injured and Andre stepped in and did a good job. “But no, there was no thought of keeping Andre in the starting line-up.” Jones is philosophical about the situation. “Td prefer to be playing more,” he says with a big smile, knowing that if Sas katchewan quarterback Joe Paopao starts putting the ball in the air, he'll spend more time on the field than off. “Joe's got a strong arm and he's a smart quarterback, but I think we can keep in check,” says Jones. “He doesn't scramble all that well so maybe we can get some pressure on him.” In today’s other game, the injury-decimated Ottawa Rough Riders will meet the Argonauts in Toronto (CTV Natiofial 2 p.m. PDT). The B.C.-Saskatchewan game is not televised. The Lions, 3-1, will be looking to keep pace with the Western Division-leading Winnipeg Blue Bombers, 22 21 winners over Edmonton Eskimos Saturday night, while the Roughriders, 1-2-1 and still looking for. their first win at home this season, will be trying a new approach. Head coach Reuben Berry, who admits his demanding, physical practices have turn ed his Roughriders into whip ped dogs, has lightened . up his practices and will book his players into a local hotel the night before home games. “We want the guys to con centrate on the game,” says Berry. “Not to be worried if their wife or friends have their tickets or answering the phone at home all the time.” Paopao says part of the Roughriders’ problems at home are that “we've tried tc be too perfect.” “On the road we are more relaxed because it isn’t our fans in the stands,” he says. “So we are going to go toa hotel... and hopefully will be able to get the same kind ol feeling.” The Roughriders coaching staff is pleased that the de fence is beginning to live up to the Saskatchewan Tough image created for it by the club's marketing depart ment. DEFENCE SOLIDIFIED “We're finally getting some of our injured guys back, especially along the de fensive line,” said Berry. “We felt we had the makings of a good defence. But because of the injuries, the fans are just starting to get an idea of what we wer talking about.” The Lions will have stand: out wide receiver Mervyn Fernandez, quarterback Roy Dewalt’s favorite target, in the lineup. The speedy deep threat sprained a toe against Montreal and didn't practice until Friday, but Matthews said his big-play man should be ready to go. In Toronto, the Rough Riders, 3-2, will go with an all-new backfield — Chucky Davis at running back and newcomer Rick Paulitsch at fullback, both backed up by Steve Harrison, the club's regular backup linebacker. Quarterback J.C. Watts will wear a light cast on his left thumb and several! other starters will play with nag ging fnjuries. Toronto, also 3-2, will have a new linebacker in CFL vet eran Dale Potter, cut in June by Edmonton Eskimos after 10 seasons. China awakens from long sleep LOS ANGELES (AP{ As the Soviet Union did three decades ago, China has emerged from a cloak of my stery and burst upon the Olympic Games as a giant awakening from a long sleep. “Extremely impressive,” said William Simon, presi dent of the United States Olympic Committee, survey ing the Chinese team’s sue cessful start in these Games after an absence of 36 years. Citing the team's “ability, enthusiasm and agressive ness even when outclassed,” Simon added: “I predict great achieve ments ‘for the people of the People's Republic of China in future Olympic Games. They will be at or near the top in all sports.” Romania sweeps medals By ROSS HOPKINS CP Sports Editor LOS ANGELES (CP) The powerful women's row ing team from Romania swept gold medals in five of six Olympic races Saturday while the Canadian women added two silver and a bronze to put Canada on the verge of its best-ever total medal count at any Olympic Games. . The three medals ran Can ada’y count for the 1964 Games to four gold, seven silver_and four bronze, mat- ching the total high of 15 Candians won in 1982 and 1928. Canadians had a chance to add medals in Saturday night's windup of the swim. ming program with Alex Baumann of Sudbury, Ont., already a gold medallist in the men’s 400-metre indi vidual medley, topping the qualifiers for the 200 medley with an Olympie record time. Baumann was timed in two minutes, 3.60 seconds to beat the mark of 2:07.17 by Swe- den’s Gunnar Larsson, set in 1972 at Munich. The U.S. women's rowing team — eight oars with coxs- wain — won Saturday's other gold, its first in history, but it was Romania that reigned supreme at Lake Casitas. The only Eastern bloc country that dared to attend the Games in the face of the Soviet-led boycott, Romania won as expected in rowing with a big-strong team. SCHREINER MISSES Valeria Racila, beaten in the 1982 world champion ships by an inch, won the single sculls by defeating American Charlotte Geer. Andrea Schreiner of Victoria just missed a medal, finishing fourth behind bronze med allist Anne Haesebrouck of Belgium. The Romanians picked up their other gold medals in quadruple sculls, double seulls without coxswain, the pair oarg without coxswain and the four-oars with coxs- wain. In the cox four category, Romania won in three min. utes 19.30 seconds. Canada's Marilyn Brain, St. Cathar Priority is improving By JOHN MacKINNON MONTREAL (CP) — Com missioner Doug Mitchell says when it comes to improving Canadian Football League officiating, there's a lot of talk but a definite failure to communicate. Mitheell, who Jake Gaudaur as commis sioner on June 1, has indi succeeded cated that improving the officiating is one of his major priorities. One of the steps toward better refereeing, Mitchell believes, is developing a more efficient system of evaluation, of providing feed back to the league's officials. The league has evaluation forms that coaches may sub mit after each game if they wish. The problem is few coaches do. “ Mitchell believes submit ting evaluations on a game by-game basis might be self defeating, anyhow. “The single-game evalu ation can lead to an emotional assessment, especially if the coach has just seen his team lose by a lopsided score,” he said. “I'd like to have eval uations on a quarterly or semi-annual basis.” Mitchell would also like to see the coaches and general managers sit in with officials at their annual pre-season seminar. Concordes coach Joe Galat said Bill Fry, the CFL's director of officiating, has vetoed that kind of dia logue in the past, saying it deteriorates into a shouting match between the two groups. VIEWS DIFFER “Bill and I have different views on that,” said Mitchell. “I believe in communication (good or bad). “Just because a guy graded out at, say, 96 (per cent) doesn’t mean you don't tell him he's doing a good job.” He added that the annual three-day seminar should be held at least twice a year and that supérvisors should sit down with officials for indi- vidual evaluations at least that often. A new controversy arose after Mitchell fined Ottawa Rough Riders defensive back Ken Miller $350 for spearing Montreal Concordes running back Terry Lymon two ines, Ont.; Angela Scheider, Toronto; Barbara Armbrust, St. Catharines, Ont.; Jane Tregunno, St. Catharines, and Lesley Thompson, Nap- anee, Ont., were second in 8:21.55 and Australia fin. ished third in 2:23.29. In pairs, Romanians Rodica Arba and Elena Horvat took the gold in 3:32.60. Betty Craig of Brockville, Ont., and Tricia Smith of Vancouver took the silver medal in 3:36.06. West Germany got the bronze in 3:40.50. In double sculls, the win ners were Romanians Mar. joara Popescu and Elisabeta Oleniuc, with a time of 3:26.75. The Netherlands took the silve medal in 3:29.13- CFL weeks ago at Olympic Sta dium. No penalty was called on the play, although game of. ficial Terry Lawrence ap- peared in a good position to see it. Mitchell said the fine was not an implicit reprimand of Lawrence, nor did he think players should fear being fined every time they hit a downed player, penalty or no penalty. “I feel the action I took will act as a deterrent and won't be necessary in future,” he said. One thing Mitchell feels will be necessary is a higher pay scale for the referees, who are all part-time work ers. The topscale referee gets $450 a game. BOSTON (AP) — Dwight Evans, Wade Boggs and Jackie Gutierrez hit home runs Saturday in powering Boston Red Sox to a 5&2 American League baseball vic tory over Texas Rangers Evans belted a two-run homer, his 21st of the season, in the first inning.
