CFL revolving-door
approach a problem

By NEIL DAVIDSON
Canadian Press

TORONTO — Who played quarterback for the
Montreal Alouettes last season?

Too hard? Try this one.

Which of the following Canadian Football League
teams has slotback Dwight Edwards played for? Toronto,
Saskatchewan, Ottawa, Calgary or Montreal.

Answer to the first question: Brian Ransom, Walter
Lewis, Steve Caabria, Joe Barnes and Mark Stevens.

As for Edwards, the answer is: all of the above. The
83-year-old non-import has played for all five clubs,
including two stints with both Ottawa and Toronto.

Such a revolving-door approach to personnel may be
amusing to some critics of the CFL, but league officials
aren't laughing. Neither are the league's season-ticket
holders.

“I was talking to my father,” Hamilton defensive
back Paul Bennett said, “who with three or four other
people have been 30-year season-ticket holders for the
Argonauts. They're not renewing (the tickets) this year
strictly because they don't know who's playing anymore.”

That kind of reaction hasn't escaped those at league

ters, where issii Doug Mitchell says
achieving roster stability is a must for the health of the
league.

“It really confirms our market research that we did
two years ago,” Mitchell said in an interview. “It came
back and said our fans told us that their No. 1 concern
about the league was player identity and we accept that
as a legitimate, constructive criticism.”

The CFL tried to address that concern last year by
introducing the non-active or practice roster, a kind of
taxi squad for reserves.

The practice roster allowed teams to keep players
they thought they might need in a pinch, but it only
added to the juggling as coaches shuffed players from the
inactive to active list.

y th you-don't: app “
personnel is not helped by the fact that the CFL has no
restrictions on the timing of roster moves other than
several dates which affect how much salary a veteran will
be paid if cyt.

But that may soon change, Mitchell said.

MAY ADD DEADLINE

The proposal most likely to be considered will
involve a deadline on adding new players, but at the same
time teams will still be allowed to activate reserves from
a limited number of players on the practice roster.

Anything would probably be seen by the average fan
as an improvement to the current state of affairs.

Comparing Montreal's list of returning players in the
1987 league fact book to that in the ‘86 edition, only 10 of
35 names reappear.

“In the Canadian Football League, I don’t think they
give the people time to develop,” Bennett said. “There's
always the quick fix.” ~

Another factor in wholesale player shuffles is the
number of replacements readily available.

“One of the things that hurts us is that we're
probably the only professional league, maybe in the world
let alone North America, that has access to hundreds and
hundreds of free-agent players,” Mitchell said.

SHUFFLE PLAYERS

That scenario has always existed, however, and it
did not prompt teams of yesterday to shuffle players as
today’s CFL clubs do.

“You had the feeling when you came out of (training)
camp, that the team would stay the same other than
injuries,” recalled Hall of Famer and former Ottawa
quarterback Russ Jackson. “From year to year, you had
players who were there for lengths of time who identified
with the city and the city identified with them.”

Times have changed. Of the 88 players listed on
Ottawa’s 1987 training camp prospectus, only five have
played at least five years with the Rough Riders.

Gretzky
gets new
contract

EDMONTON (CP) —
Wayne Gretzky's contract
has been renegotiated and
will now expire in five years
— a good indication of when
he’s likely: to retire as a
hockey player.

The Edmonton Oiler cen-
tre was tied up under a per-
sonal services contract with
team owner Peter Pockling-
ton until the year 2002, but
he signed a new contract
Sunday to play with the
Stanley Cup champions until
1992. He could sign again, but
it appears more likely he will
retire then.

“I don’t want to play until
I'm 40,” the 26-year-old Gret.
zky told reporters Tuesday.

“I don't want to play hoc
key where I'm jeopardizing
the team and I don't want to
be around when I can't play
at Wayne Gretzky's calibre.”

The Brantford, Ont., na
tive has played eight seasons
in the NHL and has won the
Hart Trophy in all eight

He would not say if the
new contract improved on his
current $1-million annual sal
ary, allowing only that “the
new deal is more beneficial.”

ST. CATHARINES ONT.
(CP) — Federal Sports Min
ister Otto Jelinek says he's
trying to create a $5-million
Olympie Legacy Fund to
provide athletic scholarships
for Canadian universities.

“If we don't take advan
tage of this opportunity, I
think we would be irres

the Canadian Interuniversity

eral meeting.

says he has no interest in
getting a new hockey add
ress.

~ Whe grass isn't always
greener elsewhere, I like the
city and the people here. I
enjoy playing in Edmonton.
Under no circumstances do I
want to leave.”

Throughout Gretzky's car
eer, rumors have circulated
that he could earn millions
more with an American
team, especially in the New
York area. But Gretzky said
he's never been attracted to
the big money in the Big
Apple.

Gretzky reacted sharply to
Alan Eagleson’s comment
earlier this week that con
tractural matters rather than
fatigue were holding him
back playing in this
summer's Canada Cup.

ing Castlegar 7-1 in the
Under 10 final during the
Castlegar Minor Soccer
League Invitational Tourna-
ment over the weekend.

Nelson, Trail and Castle-
gar were all in the running
until the final game in the
Under 10 division.

Trail failed to advance to
the final after only defeating
Rossland 3-1. Since both Trail
and Castlegar had the same
win-loss record and same
goals for and against dif-
ference, Castlegar advanced
to the final because it had
downed Trail 3-1.

Nelson then went on to a
final division win over Castle-

ting out Kimberley 2-0.

Nelson and Sandpoint, Id-
aho advanced to the final
game in the Under 14 divi-
sion. The game was tight; but
Nelson managed to come out
on top 4-3.

Nelson led 3-1 at the end of
the first half and although
Sandpoint came back strong
in the second, they failed to
seore enough goals to get
past Nelson.

In the Under 16 division
Trail nipped Nelson 5-3 after
the lead in the game changed
hands several times.

Week Wrap-up

Twins
red hot

By The Associated Press

The Minnesota Twins are
red hot and shortstop Greg
Gagne is one of the major
players in their camp to hold
off the streaking Oakland
Athletics.

Gagne doesn't mind bat
ting last when he produces
runs like a cleanup hitter.

“I got the pitches I wanted
to hit,” Gagne said after
going 3-for-4 with four RBI in
Minnesota's 7-3 win over the
Milwaukee Brewers on Tues:
day night. “Maybe they don’t
want to walk a No. 9 hitter.”

Gagne had two doubles off
Brewer reliever Chris Bosio.
His double in the eighth
drove in his final two runs.

Minnes¢ta now has beaten
Milwaukee 10 straight times
dating back to last year.

In other games, it was New
York Yankees 6 Baltimore
Orioles 5, Cleveland Indians 8
Buston Red Sox 7, Oakland
Athletics 11 Kansas City

More kokanee
set for next year

By CasNews Staff

There should be more kok.
anee in the Upper Arrow
Lake next year, according to
the Fisheries Branch in
Nelson.

Regional Fisheries Biolog.
ist Harvey Andrusak reports
that the Hill Creek spawning
channel produced more than
three million fry this spring
with a survival rate of over
60 per cent.

“This channel is producing
at a rate higher than our
predictions,” Andrusak says
in a prepared release. “The
Upper Arrow kokanee fish-
ery will greatly improve, es.
pecially in 1988.”

However, results of other
kokanee spawning channels
were mixed.

“Kokanee and
Creek channels
very well again this year,”
-Andreusak said. “Egg to fry
survival rates were 30 to 25

per cent, respectively, and
between the two some three
quarters of a million fry
moved into the Upper West
Arm. It remains uncertain
how these fry will fare in the
lake itself.

“Research on the kokanee
fry living in the West Arm
continues in conjunction with
lake fertilization. I think we
are getting some very good
information which may result
in a solution to the West Arm
fishery.”

However, Andrusak said
production at the Meadow
Creek channel was “poor,”
with only three million fry
migrating to the lake, for a
“disappointing” 11 per cent
egg-to-fry survival rate.

“Last fall high silt loads
were experienced at the
channel as a result of heavy
rains and we think this
caused poor fry survival,”
Andrusak said.

Officers appointed at the
meeting include: ice coordin-
ator Bill Pottle, equipment
managers Art Dusseault and
Maynard Fauth, and coaches
coordinator Doug Coulson.
John Loo thanked past-
president Rick Welychko and
the outgoing executive for
their perseverance and ef.
forts over the past year.
“Their dedication to minor
hockey,” he said, “has given
the new executive a solid
basis for continued growth.”
Castlegar will continue to
participate in the Intercity
League, which includes Bea:
ver Valley, Nelson, Rossland
and Trail. This will provide
the Castlegar teants with a
more meaningful schedule of
games which, due to the

| Minor Hockey Fauth and Art Dusseault: Bottom row from left Fern

anticipated low registration,
would otherwise be difficult.

In addition to the duties of
coaches coordinator, Doug
Coulson, will also be the rep-
resenative on the Intercity
League.

The 1987/88 season will
likely see the Castlegar Pee
Wee, Bantam and Midget
Divisions reclassified to
Double A from the present
Triple A. This will put
Castlegar in with communi-
ties of similar size, including
Nelson, Rossland and Beaver
Valley.

Registration fees will not
be increased for the coming
season. Also, the special low
fee will again be offered to
first-time players and players
who were not registered in
the preceding season.
