Montreal beats
Toronto at soccer

By Mark Harding

MONTREAL (CP) — For-
ward Andy Parkinson scored
two goals as Montreal edged
Toronto Blizzard 2-1 Satur-
day in the Manic’s North
American Soccer League de-
but at Olympic Stadium.

After a season-opening 1-0
loss to Washington Diplo-

mats, the Manic were given a.

rousing ovation by the 27,060
fans when introduced.

The victory gave Montrea
a 1-1 won-lost mark in the
Eastern Division and moved
it into third place in the
standings with eight points.

The'setback was the fourth
in ‘a row.‘for the winless
Blizzard, who fell to last place
behind the Manic with four
points,

Montreal captain Tony
Towers had the first good
scoring chance in the second
minutes of play, but his shot
from just inside the penalty
box was handled easily by
Blizzard goalkeeper Tony
Chursky.

In the fifth minute, Towers
sent forward Gordon Hill into
the clear, but the latter's
head attempt sailed wide of
the goal.

Minutes ater Montreal
goalkeeper Bob Rigby
robbed Toronto midfielder
Cliff Calvert from 12 yards
out, Montreal got the first
break of the game when Bliz-
zard midfielder Jose Velas-
quez fouled Towers.

Defender -Andy Lynch's
penalty kick from 12 yards
out was stopped by Chursky,
but Parkinson pounced on
the rebound, and drilled a
shot to the bottom left corner
at 41:34.

Parkinson, a native of
South Africa, increased the
lead to 2-0 at 49:25 when he
eluded two, defenders and
drilled a’shot past .Chursky
from 15 yards out.

Defender Gungor Tekin fi-
nally got Toronto .on the
scoreboard at 87:39 when he
beat Rigby from close range.

_ for Boston race

BOSTON (AP) — Bill Rod-
gers, at 33 the King of the
Road among top American
distance runners,bids for an
unprecedénted fourth con-
secutive. Boston Marathon
victory on Monday.

He will renew a rivalry
with Japanese sensation
Toshiheko Seko.

Rodgers is seeking a fifth
Boston triumph on his home-
town course, and Seko is the
winner of the Fukuoka Mar-
athon in Japan the last three
years. They are co-favorites
ina field of about 7,000 in the
85th annual Hopkinton-to-
Boston classic.

Two years ago, Rodgers
conquered rain and cold wea-
ther while wearing down
Seko on Heartbreak Hill less
than 10 kilometres from the
finish. He won the fastest
marathon in American his-
tory in two hours, while
minutes, 27 seconds.

Seko, who had beaten
Rodgers a few months earlier
in Fukuoka, had to settle for
second place in °2:10:2.. A
college student at the time,
he said his legs went numb on
the hill.

“L like warmer weather —
this was Bill Rodgers wea-
ther,” he said.

Seko, now 24, has run only
two marathons (42.19 kil-
ometres} since, winning at
Fukuoka in 2:10:35 in 1979,
and 2:09.45 there last De-
cember. But he is reported to
have been blazing at 30
kilometres in training in New
Zealand.

WENS HIS FIRST

In 1976, Rodgers won his

first Boston - hon in

ord of 2:09.55. He didn’t run
in 1976, then had t drop out
the next year. He has been
unbeatable since, joining
Gerard Cote of St. Hya-
einthe, Que., as a four-time
winner (1940-42-43-48).

The late Clarence DeMar
won seven Boston races more
than half a century ago, but
he did not put tegother four
straight victories, Rodgers’
principal target.

Former Boston champions
in the field include Jerome
Drayton of Toronto (1977),
Jack Fultz (1976), Neil Cu-
sack (1074), Amby Burfoot
(1988) and Johnny . (The
Younger) Kelley (1957).

However, the most popular
of all is certain to be Johnny
{The Elder) Kelley, who won
the event in 1935 and in 1945.
At.78, he will be running in
his 50th Boston Marathon —
wearing: No. 50. A

A field of 674 women is

pion Jacqueline Gareau of

Wednesday, has already
reached high gear.

Ruel told Irving Grund-
man, managing director of
the National Hockey League
club, that he felt it was in the
best interests of the club that
he step down.

Jacques Laperriere, Don
Cherry, Jacques Demers,
Serge Savard, Jacques Le-
maire and Jacques St. Jean,
former coach of Laval Voisins
of the Quebec Major Junfor
Hockey League, lead the
early list of candidates to
succeed Ruel.

“Jt would be normal for us
to look for somebody with
experience,” sald Grundman.
“] don’t want to comment on
any individual at this time
until we see who's available
and what their track record
and qualifications are.”

Grundman said Ruel, a
42-year-old native of Sher-
brooke, Que., would stay
withing the organization in

an as yet undetermined po- -

sition.

DEDICATED TO CLUB

“You know he's totally
dedicated to the club,” said
Grundman, who accompanied
Ruel on Wednesday to Monc-
ton, N.B, to watch Mon-
treal’s American Hockey
League affiliate, Nova Scotia
Voyageurs, play their fifth
game of a quarter-final series
against New Brunswick

“Hawks.

“His main priority has al-
ways been to see the hockey
club do well.”

Ruel, who also quit as
Montreal coach midway

ir

iated by Edmonton Ollers in
thelr best-of-five Stanley Cup
preliminary-round playoff,
Ruel said he had made up his
mind about next season but
waited until Wednesday to
make his decision known.

He made it clear after

Montreal lost three straight
games to Edmonton that he
was not enamored with the
performance of some of his
players.

“l know the wok people
like Robinson, Bob
Gainey, Brian Engblom, Rod
Langway, Doug Jarvis: and
Rejean Houle did for me,”
Ruel said. 7

Others, however, couldn't
or wouldn't respond to either
Ruel .or Laperriere, who
served as director of special
assignments and was behind
the-bench with Ruel for the
final game of the regular
season and the short-lived
playoffs,

_“I think I'm ready now,”
Laperriere said of taking Ru-
el’s job.

“If I go in there, I want to
be well prepared.”

.Cherry, former coach of
Boston Bruins and Colorado
Rockies and now guiding
Team Canada at the world
hockey championships at
Stockholm, said in a. tele-
phone interview that he

. would like to coach Montreal.
