MONZA, Italy (AP) — Jean Marie ‘Balestre,

scheduled to be run Oct. 19, despite political turmoil
in that country.

Johansson to withdraw from the event. “

MONEY NEEDED

VANCOUVER (CP) — New Westminster Bruins

Ron Dixon of the Western Hockey League team.

quoted in the range of $65-S80 a night for a new
downtown hotel and now we're being told it will be
$180 a night.

Teams will actually lose money if they come.
This is a major financial problem. We are scratching to
see if we can find the money.”” -

PENGUINS SIGN

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Penguins have
signed their first-round draft pick, Craig Simpson, to a
multi-year contract, the National Hockey League team
announced.

The 18-year-old centre was selected second
overall by the Penguins in the 1985 NHL entry draft.

_A native of London, Ont., Simpson led the Central
Collegiate Hockey Association in scoring last year with
31 goals and 53 assists for 84 points in 42 games with
Michigan State University.

ACTIVATED

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los: Angeles Dodgers
pitcher Alejandro Pena, sidelined all this year after
undergoing shoulder surgery, has been activated, the
National League club announced.

The addition of a healthy Pena would give a boost
to the already powerful Los Angeles’s moun staff,
which has helped the Dodgers build a substantial lead
in the NHL West. si eae

The National Football League's same-old-stuff image
will change at least one way for the 1985 season: America's

Team will wear the scarlet and gold of San Francisco instead

of the silver and blue of Dallas.-———
> “The San Francisco 49ers are the best team in football
and also the most watchable team in football,” says Terry
O'Neil, executive’ producer of pro football for CBS Sports.
If 1984 was the year of the record — Dan Marino for
passing and Walter Payton and Eric Dickerson for running
— 1985 may be the year of a new dynasty.

championship, third in five years, and become this decade's

It’s‘a development the NFL can use.
Despite Dickerson’s single-season record of 2,105 yards
rushing; despite Marino's 5,084 yards and 48 touchdowns;

despite Payton’s surge past Jim Brown's all-time

rushing mark, the NFL's TV ratings declined last season tor

49ers the best team

be a dynasty and a season ago, it was the Raiders.

‘The season after the 49ers won the 1982 Super Bowl,
they couldn't make the playoffs, not even with the 16-team
format caused by the players’ strike.

Unlike many of their rivals, the 49ers had everyone in

“training camp. Through some Astute draft-day trading, they”

also came up with an early candidate for offensive rookie of
the year in wide receiver Jerry Rice, a James Lofton-type
who gives Montana the deep target he's never had.

The AFC West was by far the, strongest division in
football last season and remains so this year — the only team
below .500 was San Diego Chargers, who were 0-8 within the
division and 7-1 outside: it.

~The West may produce some of the NFL's top games
this season. The three-year schedule rotation pits the NFC

and AFC Wests, meaning the 49ers will .play_Denver——

Broncos, Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Raiders and
Kansas City Chiefs, all of whom nurture at least moderately
well-founded Super Bowl hopes.

FOLLOWS DECLINE =

There are several other new elements.to the 1985 NFL,
most of them stemming from the decline of the United
States Football League, in hibernation for its planned switch
to the fall next year.

One. is new blood from USFL teams retrenching by
releasing high-priced players.

They include Trumaine Johnson and Tim Spencer to
San Diego Chargers; Bobby Hebert to New Orleans Saints,
Maurice Carthon to New York Giants and Dan Ross, who has
returned to Cincinnati Bengals. More may soon follow,
including Steve Young, Gary Zimmerman and other
returning NFL defectors like Joe Cribbs, Jim Smith and
Luis Sharpe. s,

San Francisco emerged last year from the blur of 9-7,
8-8 and 7-9 teams to go 15-1 in the regular season and breeze
past Chicago and.the Giants in the first two rounds of the
playoffs.

Then, in a dream matchup between two teams who
were demonstrably the best in the NFL, the 49ers crushed
Marino and Miami Dolphins 38-16, turning the most
devastating passing attack in NFL history into a montage of
sacks, incompletions and interceptions.

Cubs hold reunion.

__ We must. always have old memories and young
hopes: — Arsene: Houssaye ©

The former Castlegar Kats and Castlegar Cubs
softball teams held their first reunion a week ago last
Friday after more than 30 years, an event which Bunny
and I attended as “token imposters.” Since many of the
participants were former students, and since there was
such an atmosphere of fun and good fellowship, I enjoyed
myself thoroughly and said so in last Wednesday's story
on the dinner. Series

It had been my intention to report on a more
personal level in this column. However, Joy Saunders and
Verna Keraiff offered to have a try at doing a guest
column on the reunion. I was happy to agree and here is
their story (slightly edited) of the events of: that
particular weekend. §

i FRIDAY, AUG. 23
Here we are at the registration and wine and cheese

| party at the Fireside Place. The hall is decorated in a

white and green theme. The long refreshment table
covered with a .white h and d with

Malahoff and many others. Almost all follow the same
pattern — uncertainty, panic, recognition, joy and
reminiscences. Soon everyone, with a glass of wine in one
hand and cheese and biscuit in the other, is trying. to
catch all of the years and memories in a single evening. It
was a great evening. ie
SATURDAY, AUG. 24 :

After a happy hour for late registrations and more
socializing, grace was said by Victor Kravski. The 68
guests enjoyed a fine smogasbord dinner and the
evening's began-with. ing-address by
MC Joy Saunders. -

Six months ago, she said, a small group of former
Kats had been looking at’ some of the early team
photographs taken at the turn of the 60s, and reminiscing
of those earlier days. In that moment the idea of a reunion
was born, organizational meetings were held, expert
advice was sought, invitations sent out and “here we
are”. She then welcomed all who had come and those who

goodies. It looks splendid against the side background
mirrors.
“There is a great display of old team photographs,
pictures of individual players, and their families,
pape jippi and even some old
baseball uniforms — properly cleaned for the occasion.
Vi Stoushnow, Gerry McMullen, Adeline Sutherland,
Lorraine Hoskins, Verna Keraiff and Fred Stoushnow
have done a great job and the big welcoming sign over
the stage at the front is an indication of how hard they
have worked and how anxious they are to make everyone
feel at home. :
Of course there was the usual last minute panic as
registration time approached, but with Marg Hopkins
arriving a little early from Alberta and pitching right in

to help with the final details and Jack Randal and Earl”

Greep presiding at the wine table, we. were all set to go.

“He even tried to make ladies of us,” she smiled, and
introduced_the “swear can.” Ten cents for swearing on
weekdays, 20 cents on Sundays. It was a big can, she said
and the money came in useful in buying uniforms.

Victor Kravski are_waiting with regi ion sheets,
receipt books, name tags with gay green ribbons, and big
smiles of welcome. Some come boldly, briskly, smiling in
return and in the satisfaction of instant recognition.
Others approach more slowly, smiling a little uncertainly,
suddenly realizing what the passage of more than 30
years has done to those so well remembered faces and
bodies. é :

What a blessing those name tags are! One searches
a pair of faces — the smiles are familiar, so -are the
gestures, a detail of feature. But who are they? Panic,
embarassment, then a quick glance from face to name

shouts of recognition and there stand Paul and Carol
Gergley, 30 years younger. The reminiscing about old
times and the realization of the effects of the. changing
years come tumbling out in a joyous flood.

at both and games was a must. No
exceptions. “Oh, how those days stayed with us!”

In making his response, Rennie Mitchell expressed
his pleasure in being invited to the reunion and seeing
everyone again. In return, he recalled how some of the
strategies had backfired but came out better than they
should have anyway.

Such was the time when he had signalled a bunt and
the batter hit a homerun. In spite of these little
difficulties, he recalled the days of coaching the Kats and
playing with the Cubs as being some of the happiest of his
long career in the field of sports.

“The Kats and Cubs were very supportive of one
another over the years,” said Fred Zibin, as he gave a
brief history of the earlier team, the Millionaires, most of
whom later became Cubs. He also thanked the umpires
for their occasional “blind eye”. “It certainly helped to
make the game. more ‘interesting’,” he said.

Tom Lampard of Oyama, B.C. and a former coach,

-had been scheduled to speak but was stricken with a bad

reminded the —with a grin — that Tom wanted
to pointed out that he was now wearing glasses._

Pete Obedkoff, a Cub for many years, spoke with
pride of the excellent support that the community had
given the club. In those days, he said, the big events of
the week were Sunday games when both the Kats and
the Cubs would play, everybody came_out.

Another championship team was the Teen Town

teams. Funds for the cup will come from surplus
istration fees and a gi ion by Rennie

Mitchell.

A witty skit called “Remember When" then followed.

Adeline Sutherland playing the parts of four elderly,
former Kats gather for a game of bridge and start
gossiping about the “good old days”, and the failings and

spoke of some of the players and in particular of one,

Rennie Mitchell recalled... how
he signalled for a bunt and the
batter hit a home run

whom he said was a less than strong player, but
tremendously eager: We gave him a chance in the
championship game, he said, and to our delight, he really
came through.

Harry Cheveldave, who had come from Vancouver
with his wife for the reunion, recalled his pitching days
and his desire to be a Cub even when he wak just a
bat-boy.

The Cubs won the provincial championshiy,
Vancouver in 1955 and Fred Stoushnow, one of t
younger players, credited the teamwork of coach and
players. He also recalled how they had been booked into
the Hildon, a “fleabag” hotel on Davie Street in
Vancouver. We thought it was the Hilton, he said, and a
bunch of country boys didn’t recognize the difference.

The evening concluded with dancing to the
“Souvenirs” orchestra. ~~~

UNDAY; AUG. 25

On Sunday .a picnic, a ballgame and a bocce game
arranged by Belle Gray and Mary Randall were held at
Kinsman Park. ‘

The ball game provided many laughs and not a few

ches and pains. Rennie Mitchell set a new

rd. by getting a hit then walking each base in turn on

irthrows, to score a homerun. The players admitted
afterwards to being “a little rusty.”

The bocce game started out with the girls ahead 5-0
but ended with-a win for the men, 21-16. The pot-luck
picnic was enjoyed by all through the entire afternoon,
and the day concluded with regrets for its end and hopes
of-another.
