In other recent races, Ed- blad was fifth in the Kelowna Cup giant slalom, 11th in the Fleischmann's final giant sla- lom, and 13th in the Fleis- chmann’s slalom final. With these performances, Edblad now has an excellent chance to become the second Castlegar ski racer on the Canadian National Ski Team. Skier Felix Belezyk is al- ready on the national team. Edblad will be returning to Sweden next week where he is enrolled in a skiing school. He will continue his training and participate in Federation International du Ski slalom and giant slalom races in Norway and Sweden. Edblad will compete along with World Cup skiers from the Swedish national team. He was invited also to par- ticipate in World Cup down- hill races at Aspen, Colo. and Whistler, but declined.

In the morning, the Werenich rink, representing Toronto Avonlea, stopped Dobson's run, 8-4, while British Columbia romped 10-2 over Alberta.

The Associated Press The reaction to Steve Young’s $40-million United States Football League con. tract ranges from delight to outrage and befuddlement. Young, the record-break- ing quarterback from Brig. ham Young University, sign. ed Monday with the USFL's Los Angeles Express. The team is owned by J. William Oldenburg, head of Invest- ment Mortgage International Ine. based in San Francisco. Young’s playing contract runs four years — but the payments run for 43 years. Of the total_worth, $34.5 mil- lion is in deferred payments. USFL commissioner Chet Simmons. who has said sev- eral times one USFL goal is to hold the line on salaries, expressed dismay over the value of the contract. “The idea was to be By The Canadian Press It wasn't long ago that Montreal Canadiens were the class of the National Hockey League. It wasn't long ago when a trip to the Forum by an op- posing club was as popular as taking a stroll through a minefield. But now, Buffalo Sabres welcome a trip t© the Forum to suit up against Les Can- adiens. On Tuesday night it was almost embarrassing watch- ing the Sabres toy with Mon- treal as they handed the Canadiens their 10th straight loss in head-to-head compe- tition — an 88 pasting. Phil Housley, who scored his 27th goal of the season, said the Sabres might enjoy a psychological edge when the teams meet. reasonable,” he said. “Then came the competition. “Once it starts, it’s tough as heck to stop it. As com missioner, I don’t like it. It worries me. “I do not think it is in the best interest of professional football or the league, but what is to be done? These are wealthy businessmen seek- ing to build and sell a product and to compete.” John Bassett, a native of Toronto, is one of those bus- inessmen. He owns the USFL's Tampa Bay Bandits. A decade ago he owned Memphis Southmen of the World Football League, which went bankrupt after only 1'4 seasons. He suggested the salary war will end up in a USFL- NFL merger, just as the NFL merged with the American Football League in 1966, or in “They get frustrated whenever we meet now,” he said. “They take the play to us, but when we get an early lead, it makes them think.” In other NHL action it was: New Jersey Devils 6, Pittsburgh Penguins 5; De troit Red Wings 3, St. Louis Blues 1; New York Islanders 5, Philadelphia Flyers 2; Quebec Nordiques 4, Calgary Flames 3 and Winnipeg Jets 1, Los Angeles Kings 3. Buffalo right-winger Mike Foligno scored his 25th and 26th goals of the season and Sean McKenna also added .a pair to extend the Sabres’ first-place lead in the Adams Division to four points over idle Boston Bruins. Other Buffalo scorers were Dave Andreychuk, Gilles Hamel and Real Cloutier. Larry Robinson, Bill Root a collapse by the USFL. Bassett, who once said he was among the richest WFL owners but one of the poorest in the USFL, a way of show. ing how financially sound the new league is, said the original USFL memorandum on salary levels called for $1.6 million per club the first year (1983), $1.75 million in 1984 and $2.5 million next year. This year's player sal aries are about $3.25 million per team, almost double the projection: “Sports history is full of the likes of this,” Bassett said. “It has established that you end up with one league or you go out of business. “History also shows that salaries never go back to an old level.

Athans says his plan is to “move in” as a top Canadian racer with the pending re- tirement of Steve Podborski of Toronto following Sun- day's Molson World Downhill at Whistler Mountain. The 22-year-old from Kel- owna, has had two impres- sive finishes on the World Cup circuit this winter. He was fifth Jan. 15 at Wengen, Switzerland — the highest Canadian placing that day — and last Sunday was 1ith at Aspen, Colo., despite start- ing 25th. “The media pays a lot of attention to Steve and Todd (Brooker), which I can un- derstand but I met Todd in Aspen,” Athans said Tues- day. “I think a lot of people are looking forward to seeing me race.” The downhill at Whistler, 80 kilometres north of Van- couver, will be the last World Cup race of the season. An. other high placing by Athans should move him into the top group of racers for next win- MOVING UP “Definitely my plan is to move into the top group and get better starting numbers next winter,” Athans said. “I want to be with the top ra- cers in the world. “I'm going to miss Steve because he's been so helpful ta me. I've been able to talk to him and train with him in the fall, and it's been a good learning situation for me.” Athans said his fifth racing »season has made him more comfortable and the experi- ence he has gained will make him a better racer in future years. “A lot of people don't realize the things you have to overcome,” he said. “You have to really discipline yourself to train hard over the summer months because basically it’s a year round job. “To be over in Europe three or four months a year, living out of a suitcase, it's quite difficult at first. I'm starting to feel more comfor- table and that’s helped me as far as my maturity goes.” TECHNICAL APPROACH Athans concentrated dur- ing the summer in two camps in California at working on the technical aspects of his racing and 20 days in Swit- zerland last fall helped pre- pare him for the winter season. Joey Lavigne, Canadian downhill coach, considers Athans a bright prospect for the future, along with Paul experience usually ends up with the money and the man with the money ends up with the experience.’ ” “I have no intention. of going bankrupt signing wealthy players. I have had the experience some of our owners have now. I have lost my $10 million.” Ron Blanding, owner of Denver Gold, one of the USFL's more frugal opera- tions — and the only one to make money last season — was puzzled. “I don't know where we're going in this league,” Blan- ding said. “I don't understand why we need to pay a man $2 million to play 18 games and work six months out of the year.” But Berl Bernhard, owner of Washington Federals. called the signing of Young superb time for the league.” Canadiens embarrassed. six games. Alain Cote and Wilf Paiement also scored for Quebec, while Colin Patter- son, Steve Tambellini and Ed Beers replied for the Flames. JETS 7 KINGS 3 Paul MacLean had three goals and an assist, Dale chuk added a club-record five assists and Morris Luckowich had two goals to lead the Jets. Terry Ruskowski, Char- lie Simmer and Brian Mac Lellan scored for the Kings. RED WINGS 3 BLUES 1 Ron Duguay, Kelly Kision and Danny Gare scored for the Red Wings who moved into sole possession of second place, one point ahead of Chi- cago, in the Norris Division. Rik Wilson scored the lone goal for the Blues, who are in the fourth and fina! playoff spot in the division, seven points ahead of Toronto. over Boivin of St-Lampert, Que., Chris Kent of Calgary, Scott Shaver of Ottawa and Felix Belezyk of Castlegar. Athans and the rest of the Canadian racers arrived Tuesday on the West Coast and today got their first look at the new course on the west side of Whistler Mountain. It's a steeper, faster course that the north course at Whistler where glider Peter Mueller of Switzerland won a World Cup race two years ago. “Most of the year I've done well on the softer courses, but I've also shown on the harder snow and technical courses that I can also be in there,” added Athans. “It's just a matter of getting it to- /gether all the way down. “The way I feel now, I feel fairly confident. that I can get it all together on the Whis- tler course.”
