As of May 27, 14.9 million returns had been filed by taxpayers, virtually the same as a year earlier, but the number of returns processed was only 4.84 million com- pared with 9.4 million in 1982, So the government still had 10 million a Brian L.

It has 14 wins and a tie — good enough for 29 points. Carling-O'Keefe has 20 points on 10 wins and six losses. That's four better than third-place Northwest Homes, which has a record of eight wins and eight losses for 16 points.: Labatts moved past ‘Thrums-Indians_ into ‘third-place this week with two wins in three games.

In the 7-6 win over Labatts, John Evdokimoff was credited with the- win, with relief help-from Lawrence Halisheff. Al Potapoff started for Labatts but was replaced by Pete Evdokimoff in the second inning. 2 Hi-Arrow scored five of its seven runs in the first inning and then held on for the win. Labatts rallied with three runs in the fourth and another three in the sixth before being retired in order in the seventh inning. Fenrick was the only Hi-Arrow player to get two hits, though six other. players got one hit each, including a home run by Hal Hesketh ‘in the first inning. . For Labatts, Rich Percival and Don Savinkoff went two for two. Al Waterstreet went two for four. Labatts smashed out nine hits while Hi-Arrow had eight. . In other play, Carling O'Keefe lost its first game this week 14-9 to Labatts, but’ then rebounded with two consecutive victories — a 3-2 decision iri nine innings over Thrums and 5-1 over Northwest. In the 6-1 win, Grant Sookro went the distance for O'Keefe, throwing a four-hitter, while Warren Hutchinson was tagged with the loss.

In the 3-2 win-earlier in the week, O'Keefe's Gary Fleming threw all nine innings for the win. Joe Tarasoff went the distance in a losing cause for Thrums. ' Thrums managed 10 hits off Fleming, but were unable to score any more than two runs. Those came in the top of the third and gave Thrums a 2-1 lead. That held up until the top of the seventh, when O'Keefe tied it. Thrums had a chance to win the game in the bottom of the seventh when Bill Tarasoff smashed a shot in the gap in left centre field, but Tarasoff was thrown out at the plate.

Ron Hutchinson and Tim Keraiff each had a pair of hits for Northwest. Labatts edged Thrums 7-6 Thursday, but the scoresheet for that game was unavailable at press time. Caveat easily wins Belmont NEW YORK (AP) — For a fleeting moment at the top of the stretch in. the Belmont Stakes on Saturday it was survival, not victory, that was on Laffit Pincay Jr's mind. But the scent of fictory overcame the fear of falling -and Pincay’s mount, Caveat, went on to win the Belmont, just as trainer Woddy Stephens had predicted he would after the colt had finished third in the Ken- tucky Derby five weeks ago. Caveat won by 3% lengths over Slew o’ Gold in a time of 2:27 4-5 for the 1% miles. Barberstown was third, another 1% lengths back and 8 nose in front of Megaturn. It was Pincay’s second ‘atraight Belmont victory. Caveat, owned by August Belmont IV, great-grandson of the man for whom the race was named, was eight with one-half miles remaining. Snaking along the rail, he reached third at the quarter ple. It was there that Pincay and Caveat had a narrow escape, with the colt brush- ing the rail. ., VANCOUVER (CP) — Don Matthews quickly denies he ran a laid-back, country-club training camp in the gentle iere of the V: Island ity of Courtenay. ; ‘The now head coach of B.C. Lions ‘insists the Canadian Football League team reached its-carnp goals without benefit of scrimmages. : ; “We accomplished the things we wanted to-do,” Matthews said this week before breaking camp. “We wanted to stay away from major injuries. * “The misconception a lot of people have is that the |, camp was without hitting. That's not the case. The players will .tell you that they worked hard. We eliminated the possiblity of needless injuries as much as possible, that’ all.” 7 Matthews said he learned, in six years of being an assistant coach for Hugh Campbell in Edmonton, that a coach éan gain. the respect of his players through other avenues than the discipline of fear. LIKE APPROACH Many of the veteran B.C, players support Matthews .and his coaching staff in-their low-key approach to the 1988 season following six hectic years under the intense coaching of Vic Rapp. . Fi “Personally I wasn't used to handling the yelling and screaming, the negativism that was around previous camps,” said slotback John Pankratz. “Coach Matthews would rather emphasize the good things you do in practice. “It's a lot easier atmosphere in which to learn. A lot of the guys aren't as up-tight as in years gone by. I think that's produced a better camp.” Veteran linebacker Glen Jackson said the transition , to the teachings of Matthews has been smooth. “For a rookie, especially, this is a good camp,” Jackson said. “There's no screaming, no whistles, so you just go about your job of learning the new systems put in by, the coaches.” i _ Matthews will make more changes in philosophy .. EDMONTON (CP) — Pete Kettela: is trying to convince the veteran players of Edmonton Eskimos that he’s not a direct disciple of the noted football dis- ciplinarian Vince Lombardi: = : Kettela is the new head coach of the five-time defending Grey Cup champions who, for the first time in years, are going into the season without Hugh Campbell as head coach. Kettela has the unenviable job of following in the footsteps of a Canadian Football League legend. “The initial response is that I'm a guy, with a little different background, from a place’ where everybody thinks of a guy named Vince Lombardi,” Kettela said this week at training camp. “Some people think that everybody who comes out of Green Bay is a disciple of Vince Lombardi. ° F _ “I didn’t know Vince. I just worked with the Packers for five years, which doesn’t automatically make me a disciplinarian and all these other terms. All I know here is that we haven't had any problems at all.” Edmonton veterans like slotback Tom Scott, quarterback Warren Moon, linebacker James Parker and defensive end David Boone are supportive of the position taken by Kettela and his entirely new coaching staff. - . GAINING RESPECT “Since camp opened the coaches have been very good, and I'm growing to respect them more each day,” said Scott. “I know most of the other veterans feel the same way, “They've come in with a lot of fundamental things we haven't seen since college, which is’ good because it's refreshing to go back over some of the areas you've forgotten over the years. “This coaching staff is very excited about winning a sixth championship for us and we want to win the first for them. It looks like we'll be there for number six.” Moon, who may be playing his last year in Edmonton, said the transition to Kettela from Campbell has been smooth and the veteran quarterback is actually | CFLPREVIEW° | _ Lions ready to roar than personnel because he likes the talent base he inherited from Rapp, who was fired last November after a 9-7 season and a fourth-place finish in the Wester: Division, ‘ He installed Roy Dewalt as his No. 1 quarterback to take advantage of Dewalt's mobility in rolling out to pass, but in camp discovered that the older and slower Joe Paopzo was surprisingly comfertable in the new offence. “At this time I have no intention of trading Joe , because of his value to this team,” Matthews said. “Even if he's not starting, his contribution to the club is immense. “The great surprise about him is that he's going to challenge Dewalt for the starting position. Joe is very comfortable throwing the ball while he’s moving. That was the great surprise.” Dewalt said he's had to work hard at fending off the challenges by Paopao, rookie Tim Cowan of the Univer- sity of Washington and John Fourcade. . FEELING GOOD . “I feel I have a lot more responsibility this year,” said Dewalt, “both to myself and the team because of the way coach Matthews has handled the situation. “Things aren't as strict, or disciplined, as in the past. Everything’s a lot more loose. The working conditions are better.” : The Lions plan to use Don Taylor as a blocking back for tailback John Henry White, while Pankratz is being groomed for the slotback position after two years of playing mostly on passing downs. . Rookie receivers Tim Kearse of San Jose State and Jacques Chapdelaine of Simon Fraser University hope to break into the starting lineup as the accent will be on a fulltime basis this year and Matthews plans to work Joe Jo Heath into the secondary. Heath has obtained in a trade with Toronto Argonauts. . “We came into camp thinking one thing — Grey Cup,” said White. “That's the reason for the change in coaching and we think we can make it.” Kettela has tough job “I'm really learning .a lot. and_coach Kettela is. =. keeping me alert on my footwork and some of the fundementals and things I've lacked in the past,” Moon said. “There's also probably been more intensity in this camp than other camps. NO FAVORITES “Coach Kettela is new and doesn’t have any favorite guys, so everybody's kind of battling for their jobs. He's keeping the enthusiasm going and it's really serious business this year.” | . Kettela coached the offensive backs with Green Bay Packers last year in the National Football League and came to the CFL without any preconceived ideas. “You've got to be very careful that you're not like a kid in the candy store and go hog-wild with something that’s not sound,” said Kettela. “We're looking at it with the excitement of a new challenge on how to do things in pro football.” ‘ - Boone is one of the Edmonton veterans who openly admits he misses the philosophy of Campbell, who now coaches Los Angeles Express in the new United States Football League. “It's pretty to not make refe to Hugh Campbell because, to my way of thinking, I think he was the best coach that ever came along,” Boone said. “T'm not sure whether there'll ever be anyone to replace him. MANAGED PEOPLE “He had his own style. He was very sure of himself. He didn’t have an ego problem. He knew what he had to do and he knew how to motivate people. He was a very’ good people manager, which is what I. appreciated the most about the man. “I know we will be patient with the new coaching staff and I hope. they're patient with us in return.” The only key players missing this year in Edmonton are centre Eric Upton, out for the season with a knee injury, and punter Hank Ilesic, traded to Toronto enjoying the rigors of the twice-daily .? CALGARY (CP) — Jack Gotta won't openly admit it, but the head coach of Calgary Stampeders implies that he'd rather see Canadian quarterback Gerry Dattilio in a relief role this season in the Canadian Football League. The Stampeders were third in the Western Division in 1982 with a 9-6-1 record when Dattilio,was the starter. The off-season recruiting, however, was concentrated on the quarterback ‘position. - “Dattilio's an Italian, after all, so he's No. 1 at the moment,” Gotta said this week at training camp. “I like Gerry very much and he got us going last year. “He worked hard in the off-season and he knows the athletes better in his second year with us. But I think, judging from the new quarterbacks in camp, we'll be better throwing the football this year. “If we get 10 per cent at quarterback, we could grab a loftier spot this year. We want to find someone to work in tandem with Gerry, perhaps even to be the starter because Gerry had some success in Montreal coming off the bench.” VETERAN PUSHED Dattilio is being challenged by rookie pivots Bernard Quarles of the University of Hawaii, Danny Barrett of the University of Cincinnati and Ron Reeves of Texas Tech. Canadian Greg Vavra from the University of Calgary is the fifth quarterback in camp. za : 1 dispute. Stamps look to quarterback Dattilio said he could accept the No. 2 quarterback position as long as he was contributing to the Stampeders by coming off the bench. “I was the incumbent the first day of camp, but after that we're all at the same level, going for the No, 1 job,” said Dattilio. “You always need a relief pitcher, and if that’s what they want me to do, they're the bosses.” Gotta said every coach wants to find someone “to be dominating enough to take the No. 1 role” because it makes coaching decisions much easier. LIKE SOFTBALL “Canadian football is a lot like softball,” added Gotta. “If you have a good pitcher, you can beat everybody. “But without one, you're in trouble. We feel we can move up in the standings with a little more consistency from everyone, which obviously included the quarterback position.” The Si ders are in i a iti period on offence. The coaching staff would like to see rookie import Ray Crouse of Nevade-Las Vegas at running back to compliment all-star James Sykes. Rookie Anthony Jenkins of Jackson State is being groomed at wide receiver. The offensive line has been changed with the defection of free agent tackle Lloyd Fairbanks to Montreal Concordes.
