McCrae said the players realized they were taking out their frus- trations on their teammates and were determined to change their attitude. Forward Bev Smith of Sal- mon Arm, singled out for at- tention by the Chinese on de- fence, scored 11 points, while forward Candi Clarkson-Lohr of Brantford, Ont., and guard Misty Thomas of Windsor, Ont., each added 10. Thomas was a surprise started after veteran guard Debbie Huband of Ottawa become ill during the pre- game warmup. Thomas res. ponded to the challenge by playing brilliantly at times.

O'Sullivan uses right By TERRY SCOTT LOS ANGELES (CP) — For almost two rounds Tues- day night, Shawn O'Sullivan was trying to discover a way to make effective use of his right hand. Whén the stylish Toronto boxer finally suceeeded, it ended his 71-kilogram, pre- liminary-round Olympic box ing bout against Lebanon's Mohamadrajab, and com pleted O’Sullivan’s first step toward a gold medal. The 22-year-old Canadian light middleweight said he noticed a few things in a slow-paced first round that were helpful. “I realized I didn't have to worry about his coming at me too much,” he said. “And I felt my reach would be bene- ficial. “One thing I did find hard was to land a right hand on him. The jabs were fine, but I couldn't seem to get through with the right.” Gu-Dor Sports Castlegar 4; 4pm, p.m., channel 13. p.m., channet 13.

(CP) — The gold and silver Olympic medals captured Monday in Los Angeles by three young Canadians are no surprise to those who know the athletes best. The. golds for swimmers Anne Ottenbrite and Alex Baumann and a silver for cyclist Curt Harnett had family and friends hugging television sets at home in exhilaration. “1 was screaming loud enough she probably heard me down there,” said a laughing Frances Ottenbrite, who watched her 18-year-old daughter win the 200-metre breast- stroke final to become the first Canadian woman to take an Olympic gold in swimming. “I just felt so wonderful for her for I knew how much she wanted to win. It was such a thrill, watching her stand there for the national anthem.” In Sudbury, the Northern Ontario mining city where Baumann is well-remembered as the fish-like 10-year-old > who swam up a storm at the Laurentian University swim club, friends haVe “been very much aware for seven or eight years that this was going to happen,” an elated Albert Bertrand said. “I recall when he was 10, setting Ontario on fire as a young swimmer with times people couldn't believe,” Ber- trand, a swimming official and father of one of Baumann’s fellow swimmers, said Tuesday. Dozens of people who know Baumann well enough to use his nickname Sasa have “lived in front of the T'V™ this week, Bertrand said. “We were near a heart attack last night. We knew deep down inside no one could beat him but there was that little fear that something would go wrong. “If anything, we were surprised it was so close.” In Thunder Bay, Ont., Emma Harnett, 78, said her only surprise Monday night was that grandson Curt, 19, settled for the silver medal in cycling instead of winning the gold. Slightly under the weather, she stayed home while Curt's parents, Melvin and Jean, sisters Nicole and Michele and three family friends pulled a house trailer to the Los Angeles Games. She was deluged by telephone calls from well-wishers after the win, and speaking to her family by telephone, she said: “They're so bubbly down there, it’s unbelievable.” Thunder Bay residents familiar with the sight of the curly-haired blond cyclist wending his way through city streets on practice runs called his proud grandmother to congratulate her. ‘As for the medal-winner, who didn't start cycling until he was 15, “he was just out of his tree he was so happy.” The other two young athletes — Baumann at 20 is the oldest — had earlier starts in their field. Ottenbrite, said her father Joseph, started swimming at the age of three.

Hall was brought to the Stampeders’ attention by Joe Mendes, a friend of Ed Als- man, Calgary's director of player personnel.

Czech hockey boycott no serious threat MONTREAL (CP) — Tour- nament director Alan Eag. leson said he doesn't believe the report of a possible Czechoslovakian boycott if expatriate Peter Stastny pl. ays for Team Canada in the Canada Cup hogkey tour- nament this fall. “I am satisfied fhat it is a political comment that some- body advised them to say something for political pur poses,” Eagleson said in a telephone interview from his Toronto office Tuesday, A report in La Presse on Tuesday indicated that Vlad. imir Koska, president of the Czechoslovakian Ice Hockey Federation, has said the Czechs will boycott games against Canada if Stastny, who became a Canadian citizen last spring, suits up for them. Stastny, a high-scoring ce ntre with Quebec Nordiques, played several seasons for Czechoslovakian national te- am before defecting in 1980 to play in the National NEW IN TOWN? | LET US PUT OUT THE MAT FOR YOU! SECOME Wag Hockey League. The report quotes Chris tian Pelehat, a University of Montreal Hockey Technician, as saying the Czechoslovak ians have become more sev ere in their negotiations for international sporting events in North America as a result of the Soviet-led boycott of the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Pelchat spoke with Koska on a recent trip to Czecho slovakia. Eagleson said he met with Koska and Miroslav Subrt, secretary of the Czechoslov akian federation, three we- eks ago in Austria and went over all the tournament rules. Eagleson has stipu lated that to qualify, a player must hold a passport of the country for which he intends to play escape the fenced-in feeling of the Olympic village. “Somehow the fences, the security guards, the SWAT team, the guns and all that don't do anything for me mentally,” Ottey said this week. “I don't find the village all that exciting.” August !, 1984 er needs privacy ‘Ottey, 24, of Toronto was to- leave the village at the University of Southern Cal- ¢ampus Tuesday and move in with friends in the Santa Monica area. He'll stay in the private residence until the high jump competition begins Saturday. The native of Jamaica is not listed among the medal favorites although he could move up if one of three athletes falter. The pre-event favorites at the Games are world-record holder Zhu Jia. nhua of China, Dwight St ones of the United States and Carlo Thrawhardt of West Germany. TWO GOLD, ONE SILVER “The decision was made two months ago by my personal! coach, John Wedel, that the atmosphere in the village won't be proper for my performance,” Ottey said, “I want a home-like at- mosphere.” Ottey said he’s trained for eight years with just one objective — a gold medal at the Olympics. And, if it means getting away from his Canadian teammates, then it has to be done. Zhu has shown that he is an artist by jumping 2.30 metres or better every time out, Ottey said, but the Bobsledders did well OTTAWA (CP) —. Six Canadian bobsledders are just back from Zandvoort, the Netherlands, elated at having won two gold medals and a silver in the first world push trials organized by their international fedefation. The six-member ~ group won the overall team cham. pionship while David Leuthy of Toronto and Neville Creo- lin of Montreal took the two-man plus competition. Clarke Flynn of Ottawa was second in the brakeman push event. Others on the team were Norman Carr and Dana Rice of Ottawa and Chris Lori of London, Ont. Denise Pittuck, managing director of the Canadian Amateur Bobsleigh and Luge Association, found great sig nificance in the perform ances, citing “a 180-degree turn in our training program” for the results. “We have traditionally be en just as fast as anyone else on the runs,” she said in a telephone interview today “But we've always been about a second slower than most others on the starts. “So this year we imported a Swiss coach to improve our start times and this indicates it was the right way to go.” Among major bobsledding countries, only the East Germans and the Swiss did not take part in the 12-coun try event, which was prev iously held in England, she said “But where the East Ger. mans and Swiss normally scored between 1,200 and 1,400 points in these events, our team was just over 1,300 this year, so they would have really been competitive with them.” count on us...
