Defending the men’s title won last year by Edmonton’s Pat Ryan, Werenich and his Toronto foursome, stole four ends in a 7-1 yawner over young West German Andy Kapp in the second draw of the men’s cham- pionship. “It’s unbe' .’ Werenich said after Kapp’s Fussen rin after the seventh end an 1 Straight steal by the Canadians **That game there had absolutely no relation to how I felt the first game of the Brier (Canadian finals). “The first game of the Brier I was pumped up. It's just not the same. The very first game you'd think you'd be a little excited. The whole at- mosphere is different. It's fairly quiet ‘out here. **¥ou can sleep if you want to.’* While Werenich was coasting to victory, Canadian women's champion Alison Goring. saddied Germany’s Almut Hege-Scholl with a 6-2 loss. Goring, also of Toronto, is defending the title won last year by Heather Houston of Thunder Bay, Ont.

Consider the credentials he'll take with him to the University of British Columbia where the physical education major will complete his degree and, undoubtedly, play volleyball for the Thunderbirds. He was named all-Canadian for the second straight year in the Canadian College’s Athletic Association. He received more MVP awards during the season than anybody else on the team and he was also picked as the Saints MVP for the second year in a row. Brown was selected as a CO- recipient of the award because, as mw college athletic director Rob Johsnon said, “‘If you look at all the criteria for the award, we had two people who met and exceeded the criteria."’ Wishlow, says Johnson, who was one of the members on the three- person. awards selection committee, was the obvious choice and Brown, @ three-year veteran powerhitter on the Saints, was the sentimental favorite “*He did a lot for the team. For one thing he sacrificed individual recognition at the provincial level to become more of a team player this year. He*s a real teader,”* said Fohn- son Brown also won the Striving for Excellence award while Dave Kabatoff took home the Rookie of the Year award. Chernenkoff, who was selected as a provincial all-star and team MVP, led the women’s volleyball team through it’s rebuilding stage this year, said Johnson.
