Frank Lidstone It depends on what they got, but I don’t think the government should dictate to the people as they've been trying to do. further. i Pi FES Stella I don't know, I haven't been involved personally, but I don’t think anything is worth a strike. But then it's differenct when you're involved. Carl Linkletter I think what they did was right and I think they should have gone workers and teachers is over, Sure, things could only get worse if they didn’t go for what they wanted. If they just sit back, the govern- ment will just run.over them. Oldtime Fiddlers busy A meeting of the B.C.

Callers the Gotta home were told by one of his children their father wasn't answering calls; but would be in his office this morning. * Gotta is noted for being excitable and, sometimes bringing too much pressure on his team but it .was his inability to win playoff games that ended his seven-year reign in Calgary. - “In his seven years of total control of the club we've won two playoff games,” team president Bill Britton told a news. conference after the 12-member board of directors voted unanimously to replace Gotta. “All of us on the board liked Jack Gotta; we think he has been a positive influence in Calgary. However, we thought it was in the best interests of the club and the best interests of the cont .: ued future of the club that we should leave: now.” Since taking over the team in 1977 Gotta guided the Stampeders to the Western Division playoffs in 1978, 1979, 1980 and 1982.

When tens of:'thousands ‘of B.C. football fans are screaming their héads off at the Western Division final at the B.C. Place dome, there will be thousands more left out in the cold, 0 > The Canadian Football League's television blackout rules prohibit the televising of playoff games in local markets. It .will be B.C.’s first home appearance in-the western final since the Lions won the Grey Cup in 1964. The television blackout extends in a 120-kilometre radius from centre field. In some cases it extends farther, as football fans in Hope, 160 kilometres away, will discover. They get their TV signal from blacked-out Chilliwack in the Fraser Valley east of Vancouver. ‘ The reason for the ban is to ensure that fans will buy tickets rather than stay home glued to their television sets. ‘ ‘There were still about 10,000 seats Tuesday to be sold in the 60,000-seat stadium. ‘ *..

General manager Bob Ackles of the Lions‘said that if the game is sold out 48 hours in advance, he will call the ‘ commissioner to see if it is possible to get the required unanimous permission of the CFL's nine governors to lift the blackout. The main areas under the blackout are the Greater Vancouver area, the Fraser Valley, plus Victoria and Nanaimo on Vancouver Island.

Jackson said the best the CBC can do for the remainder of the fans is telecast a taped delay of the western final Monday at 11:30 p.m. PST.

And, in only his second season, he has earned the reputation as an ironman by being the only player in the league to play every inning of all 162 games this year, extending his streak of consecutive games to 280. “Sometimes it’s like living in a small fantasy world, things have happened so fast,” Ripken said after receiving the phone call informing him of the award. “I’ve been excited all day, even if I was just going to the supermarket to buy a bottle of milk. “Everyone here has been behind both me and Eddie (Murray), andIthinkI would have been just as excited fi Eddie if he'd won.
