Olympic awarding

Calgary feeling effects

CANMORE, ALTA. (CP)
— It's only been four days
since Calgary was awarded
the 1988 Winter Olympic
Games, but already this
one-time mining town is be-
ginning to feel the effects.

Less than 48 hours after
the International . Olympic
Committee announced that
Calgary would hold the
Games, European specula-
tors had purchased three
properties — mostly for cash
— and there are signs of
more real estate action on the
way.

Canmore residents and
real estate agents predict
land prices in the area will
double, at a minimum, in the
next five or six years. “And
that doesn’t include infla-
tion," said real estate agent
Lajos Fodo.

Canmore is only about 20
kilometres from Spray
Lakes, site of the alpine ski
events for the Games. The
Spray Lakes area of Kan-
anaskis Country will be de-
veloped, privately at a cost of

more than $50 million, into a
ski, recreational and tourist
facility to rival Banff and
Lake Louise.

That is d to bring

Among those holding land
in the area is Edmonton bus-
inessmen Peter Pocklington.
He says he has about 1,200

of land

thousands of tourists an-
nually into Canmore, a town
of about 4,000, that usually
only handles the spillover
from Banff.

The next few weeks could
be hectic for Canmore resi-
dents, says Fodo, who sold
the three properties to West
German and French buyers.

“Canmore is going to be
the place to be, there's no
doubt about it.”

He said the Europeans,
who have seen the results of
Olympics in Europe, are an-
ticipating similar results with
land prices in Alberta.

FLOODED WITH CALLS

Fodo said a 3.2-hectare
parcel of land just sold for
$1.5 million and other real
estate agents said they have
been flooded with calls from
people trying to cash in early
on the expected Olympic
boom.

in the area,

“Obviously, we're ecsta-
tic,” he said.

“The announcement made
our land very attractive bus-
inesswise.”

Pocklington said he. re-
cently sold 310 hectares for
about $37 million and his
company is developing 200
lots within Canmore for an
unidentified investor.

ANd he has plans for a
1,000-room hotel and a golf
course.

Canmore real estate agent
Pat Riva said land prices
have already jumped about
10 per cent and people are
taking. their land off the
market to wait for higher
prices.

However, some Canmore
residents are not pleased
with the prospect of what
could happen to their com-
munity.

“You can already sense it .
. . there’s something very
different about Canmore,”
said school teacher Carol
McTavish.

Pat Bryne, mayor of the
town that has acquired near-
ly 70 per cent of its residents
in the last five years, said

appeal.

He said he's confident
council's long-range plans —
such as those which restrict
the height of buildings so
they don't interfere with the
view of the Rocky Mountains
— will minimize speculation
and avoid the “Banff syn-
drome” where thousands of
tourists jam ‘the streets.

“I think the Olympics will

Ferragamo denies reports

By Mark Harding

MONTREAL (CP) — Mon-
treal Alouettes quarterback
Vince Ferragamo has denied
a rumor that he will ask out
of his contract with the team.

“[ have no idea where that
rumor got started,” said Fer-
ragamo, who will likely get
the starting nod from coach
Jim Eddy when the strug-
gling. Canadian Football
League club meets Calgary
Stampeders today at Olym-
pic Stadium.

Also today, Hamilton
Tiger-Cats take on Saskst-
chewan Roughriders before a
sellout crowd at Regina's
Taylor Field.

“T called the law firm that
represents me and they said
they had no idea how it (the
rumor) got started,” added
Ferragamo, the former Na-
tional Football League signal-
caller who signed a multi-
year deal with the Alouettes
last spring.

A Montreal radio station
reported this week that Fer-
ragamo, who leads the CFL
with 21 interceptions, would
ask out of his $400,000-a-year

pact or try to negotiate a
settlement for the 1982 por-
tion of the agreement.

‘GOT A COMMITMENT’

“i've got a commitment
here,” said the former mem-
ber of Los Angeles Rams.
“I'm under contract to the
Aluettes and I'm going to
fulfil it.

“I have no intention of
leaving.”

Ferragamo said the rumor
has not affected his prepar-
ation for the Stampeders
who, with a 5-6 won-lost rec-
ord, are struggling for a
playoff berth in the Western
Division.

Als coach Jim Eddy says
Ferragamo and Canadian
Gerry Dattilio will both see
“a lot of action” against Cal-
gary, which dropped an em-
barrassing 29-26 decision last
weekend against previously-
winless Toronto Argonauts.

Montreal's last outing was
an even greater humiliation,
a 62-11 loss to Edmonton
Eskimos. Despite that set-
back, which dropped them to
1-10, offensive co-ordinator
Fred O'Connor says the

Alouettes feel positive about
their future.

“I think we're all on the
right apge and as positive as
we can be at this point,”
O'Connor said. “We all be-
lieve we can turn things
around, get in the playoffs
and go to the Grey Cup.”

REPLACES ROOKIE

With the release of Ron
Foxx, Wally Buono and Lou
Clare will share the right

be right behind them.”

Hamilton, which has al-
ready clinched top spot in the
East, will face a hungry and
healthy Saskatchewan club
hoping for a playoff berth.
The club will be bolstered by
the return of linebacker Carl
Crennel.

The Ticats will activate
running back Mark Bragag-
nolo for the contest, and run-
ning back David Green will
be replaced in the backfield

outside li spot. Vet-
eran defensive back Jim
Marshall, released by the
NFL's New Orleans Saints,
will replace rookie Ken Miller
at the right corner.

With the trade of defensive
end Reggie Lewis to Toronto
for middle linebacker Danny
Bass, the Stamps will go with
a 3-4 defence for the re-
maining five. games of the
season.

“I hope the trade will have
a positive effect on the rest of
the team,” said Calgary coach
Ardell Wiegandt. “If not,

GLAD IT’S OVER

“I am glad it is over,” said
Konishowski after competing
in the long jump, javelin and
800 metres Saturday. “It was
a really gusty day.

“It was behind us in th
long jump but that didn’t
help much, becaue a lot of us
were really stiff from yes-
terday (Friday). The javelin
throw was horrendous be-
cause we are not yet ex-
perienced javelin throwers
and the 800 was really long,
that wind down the back
stretch really kills you.”

Konihofwski was comfor-
tably ahead after the four
events Friday. But when
Saunders, 21, won the long

jump with a leap of 6.10
metres with Konihowskl sec-
ond at 6.05, the two were tied
for the over-all lead.

In the javelin, despite the
wind, Konihowski was eight
metres better than the other
eight women and set a per-
sonal best of 39.90 metres.

That meant Konihowski
had only to stay within 10 se-
conds of the faster Saunders
in th e800 metres. The field
went past Konihowski in the
final 100 metres of the race,
but she ended up only five
seconds behind Saunders to
take the gold in the hep-
tathlon.

DEMERS SPECTACULAR

Demers, who is also a

budding movie star, having ,

appeared in the film Cave-
man released early this'sum-
mer, rupped his way through
the competition with two
spectacular lifts, snatching

0 kilograms and jerking
187.6 for a total of 297.5.

Leduc finished with a total
lift of 295 kg. well behind
American Chrtis White, who
won with a total of 806.

In the men's 800 metres,
Newhouse looked impressive
while finishing 2% seconds
behind Ovett, who won in one
minute, 49.18 seconds. It was
only Newhouse's second 800-
metre race internationally.

qualified for the badminton

feated Australian Julie Mc-

proved to be the difference in
th eend.

Chess match adjourned

MERANO, ITALY (CP) —
Title-holder Anatoly Karpov
and challenger Victor Kor-
chnoi adjourned their match
Saturday night and experts
said Karpov appeared poised
to win his second game in the
world chess championship.

The adjorunment came af-
ter 41 moves and five hours
and 10 minutes of play.
Karpov, playing white,
sealed his 42nd move to be
opened when play resumes
this afternoon.

The Soviet champion was a
pawn up with a stronger
position over the Soviet
exile, experts said.

“Karpov should win this
one,” said U.S. Grandmaster
Robert Byrne.

The 30-year-old champion
won the opening match
‘Thursday nilgnt and a second
win would put Korchnoi in
serious trouble, even through
the 50-year-old challenger
has a reputation as a come-
back player. The first player
to take six game wins the
championship.

Bobby Fischer came from
two games down to defeat
Boris Spassky in the 1972
championship in Iceland, but
that was considered remark-
able.

Although Karpov and Kor-
chnoi, who make no secret of
their dislike for each other,
got down to the business of
playing chess, the bitter dis-
putes htat rpeceded the

match have not been buried.

Before the start of the sec-
ond game, Korchnoi’s dele-
gation announced they would
have a news conference to-
day to reply toa Soviet news
media attack describing Kor-
chnoi as a “huckster at the
chess board.”

Once again Saturday, nei-
ther words nor handshakes
were exchanged as the two
grandmasters sat down at
the stage in a congress hall in
this Tyrolean resort.

And again, a yoga expert
hired by Korchnoi was in a
front row seat along with his
delegation. The woman, Vie-
toria Shepherd, had been
barred from sessions after a
Soviet protest during a 1978

sank Nottingham Forest,
with the other one coming

World Boing Council light-
weight title Saturday by
knocking out Ray (Boom
Boom) Mancini in the 14th
round.

Arguello, who now is 72-4,
scored his 58th knockout by
tagging Mancini with a
straight left in the middle of
the 14th round.

Referee Tony Perez
stepped in as Mancini wob-
bled on his feet, but could not
stop Arguello from scoring
with one more left and a right
to put Mancini down and out
at 1:46.

Mancini, at 1341/2 pounds,
was the agressor throughout
most of the scheduled 15-
round fight, staggering Ar-
guello with combinations and
winning some early rounds.

But Arguello, at 135
pounds, kept Mancini at a
distance with straight left
jabs that neutralized Man-
cini’s inside attack.

So long as Arguello could
keep his distance, the cham-
pion scored with his left.
Mancini was only effective
when he stepped inside Ar-
guello's left hand.

Arguello, 29, a

sportsmanship.

In the 12th round, Arguello
sealed the challenger's fate
by scoring a rare right to
Mancinia’s chin with four
seconds left in the round.

Mancini, 20, of Younstown,
Ohio, went down on one
knee, turned to his corner
and staggered to the ropes as
Perez began the count. But
the bell saved him.

Mancini continued to take
the punishment in the 13th
round and at one point his
manager, Dave Wolf, moved
to throw in the towel from
the challenger's corner. But
he was stopped by seconds.

ello, remaining cool
throughout, finished Mancini
in the 14th as Mancini’s
father, former lightweight
contender Lenny (Boom
Boom) Mancini, sat in a
‘wheelchair behind his son's
corner and cried.

After the Ar-

match between the Korchnoi
and Karpov in the Phili-
ppines.

Early in th egame Kor-
chnoi again donned his glas-
ses with one-way mirrors,
but they didn't appear to
bother Karpov. The cham-
pion opened white and Kor-
chnoi sprung a surprise,
playing the Berlin defence to
Karpova’s Ruy Lopez open-
ing. experts said they could
not recall Korchnoi ever us-
ing this combination of moves
befre.

As the game moved on, the
champion obtained a slight
advantage in position, ex-
perts said, noting his pieces

site of a medieval church
have uncovered a number
of ancient treasures, in-

Skalbania was scheduled to

registrar in a preocedure
called examination in aid of
execution to satisfy judg-

pay the money to business-

Skalbania was to pay

made payments, according to
court records, and must ap-

make disclosure of his assets.

Naismith said the debt
arises from Skalbania’s pur-

$150,000 on Aug. 30, 1880. He
said” Skalbania paid $25,000
