Over 115 racers from southeastern B.C. and Washington tackled the fast 15 km track. The turnout surpassed even the most optimistic expectations of Race Chair. man Craig Andrews. He attributed the large num ber of entries to an in. creased interest in ski ra- cing and the fact that the race also doubled as the zone qualifying meet for the Winter Games trials. The local Nordic Ski Touring Club found the race results especially sat Shannon Crosfield ot Castlegar's Nordic Ski Touring Club races to first place finish in 16 and 17-year-old girls’ 7.5 km ski Local club isfying as they accumu lated 110 points compared with 39 for Rossland’s Blackjack Club and seven for the Kokanee Club from Nelson. The Castlegar Club's youth movement led the way, sweeping most of the top placings in the younger age groupings. Aimie Chernoff, Rob Ehman and the Finney sisters, Kerry and Erin performed espec ially well in their racing debuts. Another notewor. thy trend was the degree of family participation in the meet.

By GRANT KERR VANCOUVER oo ‘Three months ago Jere Gillis of Vancouver Canucks was so weak he could hardly lace up his skates. A viral infection sapped Gillis of his strength at the start of the National Hockey League season and he was quickly a forgotten man during the horrendous Vancouver start to league play. Gillis eventually was dispatched to the minors for conditioning before being recalled Christmas Eve when Ron Delorme suffered a season-ending knee injury. The left winger played his 10th NHL game of the season Tuesday night and produced his third goal at a most opportune moment — at 1:54 of overtime for a 6-5 decision over New York Islanders. “It's a great feeling because I can't remember the last time I scored in overtime,” said Gillis. “I'm really happy this game didn't end up with a sour taste.” The Canucks ended a three-game losing streak despite blowing a three-goal lead in the third period to the Islanders, who scored four times in the third on just six shots, including a goal by Denis Potvin at 19:32 to tie the score at 5-5 and force sudden death. BEATH SMITH Gillis scored the winner after taking a drop pass from Patrik Sundstrom before snapping a 40-foot shot past Islander goaltender Billy Smith from the right circle. “I didn’t get much ice time tonight because of all the penalties,” said Gillis, who turns 28 Friday.“I don't play on the power play or kill penalties. “I'm content because I'm here and we won the game. I'm doing my job and that’s what counts.” Vancouver coach Harry Neale made a key move before the game when he placed Gillis, normally a fourth-line checker, on a line with slumping scorers Sundstrom and Tony Tanti. Each scored a goal and the line had numerous scoring chances as Vancouver outshot the Islanders 39-19 to end a four-game New York win streak. Cam Neely led the Canucks with two goals and threw several hard checks along the boards, including a heavy hit Stanley Humphries Jr. Rockers basketball team at- tended the first annual Mountain basketball tourna- ment, hosted by the Jr. Royals of Rossland over the weekend. The Rockers placed fourth overall in the eight-team competition at- tended by teams from Oliver, Kelowna, Fernie, Nelson, Beaver Valley and Rossland. In their opening game, SHSS was matched against the Hornets of Oliver who eventually won the tourna. ment. The score was close for the first quarter as both teams started slow and ap peared to be testing one ano- ther. The Hornets went ahead 23-18 at halftime. Oli ver's Blaine Hovanes was the tournament's most valuable player and was difficult to stop as he scored 16 points Dillon with four while Fer- nando Fereirra and Scott Bole added two apiece. Hig- gins came in to replace Grit- chin who fouled out early and did an excellent job, ac cording to coach Barry De- Paoli. In their second game the locals defeated Rossland by a score of 48-25. From a team standpoint the Jr. Rockers played their best game of the islanders on Potvin. Rookie winger Petri Skriko scored thes other Vancouver goal. Potvin scored twice for the Islanders, with singles from Brent Sutter, Bryan Trottier and Mike Bossy. Potvin's goals at 17:44 of the third on the power play and at 19:32 sent the game into overtime. “I was almost ready to puke at the end of the third period,” said Neale. “We played an all-star game against a great team and should have thrashed them soundly. “They got three lucky goals and one good one in the third. They were lucky to even be close. It was a crying shame to have to resort to overtime, but the way we've been going, we'll take the win.” Neely, 19, broke out of a slump with his ninth and 10th goals of the season after getting into a first-period fight with the Islanders’ Mats Hallin. “Harry talked to all of us before the game about how we should be playing and what we haven't been doing,” Neely said. “I'm trying to hit more because the coaches say I'll get more room that way. “The dancers have to dance, the singers have to sing. I have to play aggressively to be effective. I'll try to play that way the rest of the season.” New York coach Al-Arbour said his players were skating on sand, suntye around while the Canucks made most of the takeou Potvin denied the Islanders had looked too farahead to tonight's game in Edmonton against the Stanley Cup champion Oilers. “Vancouver forced us into making poor plays,” he said. “You never take anything away from a defensive team which works that hard to make good plays. “We had things going our way late in the game and I was sure we'd pull it out. But as luck would have it, we got knocked back down on our butts.” The Islanders, 25-17-1, remain six points back of Jeaders Philadelphia Flyers and Washi Capitals in the Patrick Division, while the last-place Canucks, 11-29-5, moved to within 16 points of fourth-place Los Angeles Kings in the Smythe standings.

Le@by starters Godlien, Uchida, Steve Merry and Andy Lefurgey, the Rockers outworked the Magrath Zeniths to slight margins at the half (31-28) and at three-quarter time (43-38). For the first five minutes of the last quarter the Rockers didn't do anything wrong, they ‘just couldn't score, said coach Kevin Morris. With the time slipping away and down by seven points the Rockers panicked, abandoning their team offense and defence. Magrath capitalized on all errors and recorded a 58-48 win.
