WORLD JUNIOR CURLING

Swiss have 6-0 record

CORNWALL, ONT. (CP)
— In the 10 years the world
junior men’s curling cham-
pionships have been going,
Switzerland has never fin-
ished better than fifth — un-
til now.

district, were all alone in first

Ossi, still another loss, 10-0;
Mike Hay of Scotland de-

Roc of France 5-3; and Al

mark's Ulrik Schmidt.

In other fifth-round games,

Norway toppped Canada 4-3;

Switzerland defeated Mor-

Denmark's Ulrik Schmidt,
10-2 in the fifth Twestay.

Sweden, which had been
going along step by step with
Switzerland, hit a roadblock
when they were defeated by
the Canadian crew from
Kronau, Sask., skipped by
Jamie Schneider, 11-4; to fall
back into sécond with five
wins and a loss.

The United States stood at
42, with Scotland; Canada

Germany and France at 2-4,
Denmark 1-5 and Italy 0-6.

EXPLAINS SUCCESS

The bullion dealer from
Switzerland again has shown
how much he really likes that
gold and will modestly admit
things look pretty good.
Flotron explained his success
in the sixth round by saying
the ice was so straight he hac
no trouble taking opposition
rocks out from behind
guards.

“We aren't looking ahead
but if we play this well for
the whole event, you. don’t
know,” he said.

“We are felling pretty
good.”

It was the Canadian rink
that provided the night's
most excitement with some
so-so curling and then some

sensational curling.

When Schneider drew
through an impossible hole in
the fifth end while 12 rocks
were in play he looked great.
When he punched a Swedish
rock in for shot on his first
rock of the seventh he looked
back again. But with his last
rock he scored a double take-
out for two and from then on
never looked back.

Asked about one of his
good shots, he described it as
being “a close my eyes and
pray shot.”

He was upset that the
Swedes had used new straw
brooms.

“It was a mess out there
with straw all over,” he said.

“If we'd lost that one it
would have been history for
us.”

Scotland’s Hay who got off
to such a bad start after
coming into the affair as
red-hot favorite, now is back
in shooting range.

“It's starting to get a little

“I promise I won't keep
you waiting again,” said skip
Edwards with a smile after
drawing in at the top of the
eight ring for the one-stone
win.

“We've got a good shot at
it now.”

ST. JOHN'S, NFLD. (CP)
— Defending champion Lloyd
Gunnlaugson of Manitoba
and Earl Hushagen of On-
tario remained the only un-
defeated rinks in the Cana-
dian senior men's curling
championship Tuesday, but
neither skip expects to keep
his perfect record.

“I still believe that no one
will go undefeated,” said
Gunnlaugson, who is trying
for an unprecedented third
straight title.

“There's no one here that
can’t be beaten and there's no
one who isn't capable of
beating any other team.”

But Gunnlaugson and his

In the fourth round Tues-
day night, their three-ender
in the eighth end gave them a
7-4 win over Prince Edward
Island's Don Hutchinson of
Charlottetown. The game
had been close until then, but
the three-ender left Hutchin
son trailing by four points.
Able to score only one point
in the ninth, he ran out of
rocks in the 10th.

Gunnlaugson scored two

Al Hall of Yellowknift, NWT,

By The Canadian Press

If Quebee Nordiques
worked as hard in the extra
session as their president,
Marcel Aubut, did in getting
the overtime rule adopted by
the National Hockey League,
things might have turned out
better Tuesday night.

After trailing throughout
the game, Paul Coffey tied
the score at 16:16 of the third

period and then won it with

his 37th goal of the season for
Edmonton 4:85 into the over-
time period as the Oilers
edged the Nordiques 6-5.

In other NHL games Tues’
day it was: New York Is
landers 5, New Jersey Devils
1; St. Louis Blues 2, Hartford
Whalers 0 and Vancouver
Canucks 4, Pittsburgh Pen
guins 3.

The loss left Quebec win-
less in 12 games — eight ties
and four losses — that have
gone into extra time, while
Edmonton kept its unblem.
ished record in nine overtime
sessions with a 4-0-5 record.

It was Aubut who played a
major role in convineing the
league's board of governors
to adopt the five-minute
overtime period prior to the
start of the season.

Dave Semenko, Wayne
Gretzky, Jari Kurri and Willi
Lindstrom rounded out the
Oilers’ scoring. Alain Cote
scored twice and Mike Gillis,
Peter Stastny and Anton
Stastny added one each for
the Nordiques.

DEWIT WON'T
RISK FIGHTING

GRANDE PRAIRIE,
ALTA. (CP) — There's ano-
ther feud brewing between
world amateur heavyweight
boxing champion Willie de-
Wit of Grande Prairie, Alta.,
his coach Harry Snatic and
the Canadian Amateur Box-
ing Assocition.

Snatic and deWit are upset
because the association
wants deWit to fight an ex-
hibition bout at the Canadian
senior championships in
Trois Rivieres, Que., April
6-7 — just a week before
deWit has to defend his
world title in Los Angeles
against Italian Angelo Mu-
sone.

The national champion-
ships are also the Canadian
Olympic trials but no one
challenged deWit for his spot
on the team.

“We're not going to take
the risk,” said Snatic.

“Willie might get burt or
cut. And for what? So a U.S.
boxer can improve his chanc-
es of making American
Olympic team. It’s a stupid
risk and we're not trying it.”

ranged was to try to draw a
crowd to the event to raise
funds for the local organizers.

Snatic said Shawn O'Sul-
livan of Toronto, Canada’s
other world amateur cham-

pion, has also asked to be
exempt from the nationals
for the same reason as deWit.

Dick McLean, president of
the boxing association, said
he understands the impor-
tance of the world champion-
ship fight but feels deWit is
still obligated to compete at
the nationals.

McLean said if the two
boxers don't show up the
association board of directors
will decide what, if any, ac-
tion to take.

Two weeks ago deWit and
O'Sullivan threatened to
withdraw from the Olympics
if their coaches weren't al-
lowed to work with them at
the Games in Los Angeles.

Both coaches last week
were officially informed by
the Canadian Olympic Asso-
ciation that they would be
given special accreditation to
coach at the Games.

Meanwhile, Peace River
MP Albert Cooper has called
for an investigation into the
boxing association's accredi-
tation and funding proce-
dures.

In an open letter to Jac-
ques Olivier, Minister of Fit-
ness and Amateur Sport,
Cooper criticized the associ-
ation’s selection of Joe Webb
and Stuart Chrabula as coach
and manager of the Olympic

to investigate to see if the
association was acting in the
best interests of the boxers.

Canucks edge
Penguins 4-3

VANCOUVER (CP) — Goaltender Denis Herron and
his best friends almost came between Vancouver Canucks
and a crucial two points Tuesday night.

The Canucks, in a battle with Winnipeg Jets for third
place in the Smythe Division — fourth place gets the
dubious chore of meeting Edmonton Oilers in the first
round of the National Hockey League playoffs — had to
hang on in the third period to defeat the woeful Pitts-
burgh Penguins 4-3.

Herron, after letting in a soft goal by Lars Molin
early in the first period, was brilliant the rest of the way,
blocking 32 shots and watching the Canucks ring at least
four shots of goalposts.

“We couldn't get the goal that finally made them say
‘Ah the hell with it,’ " said Vancouver coach Harry Neale,
who watched his club squander a 4-1 second-period lead.

“It wasn’t a highly emotional game. They never
touched us, they never got us upset. They just wanted a
nice easy game and at times they talked us into playing
that way.”

THREE IN FIRST

Three of the goalpost rattlers came in the first period
— two on the same shift — as the Canucks jumped all
over the Penquins, the NHL's worst club, but came out of
first 20 minutes with only a 2-1 lead.

“If we could have popped a couple more goals in the
first period it would have made a difference,” said captain
Stan Smyl, who hit a goalpost himself on a second-period
breakaway. “We kind of slacked off and they came back.”

Pittsburgh's Greg Fox scored midway through the
third period to make it 4-3, but Vancouver goaltender
John Garrett came up with some big stops to save the
two points. Darren Lowe, with his first NHL goal, and
Ron Flockhart also scored for the Penguins.

Moe Lemay, Tony Tanti, with his club-leading 42nd
goal, and Jiri Bubla also scored for the Canucks, who had
been humiliated 12-2 in Edmonton on Sunday night.

“That was an embarragsment,” said centre Thomas
Gradin, whose crafty playinaking set up the goals by
linemates Molin and Lemay.

“It was very important to come back on the right
track and get a win. No, Harry d'*..'t have to say any-
thing to us. We knew we had to prove something to
ourselves.”

HAVE LEAD

Tuesday's victory, which extended Vancouver's
unbeaten string at home to five games, gives the Canucks
a three-point bulge on the fourth-place Jets, although
Winnipeg has five games in hand, including two against
the Canucks.

“We knew it was a big game because Winnipeg won
last night,” said Neale. “We want to keep the pressure on
Winnipeg so they just have to win those games in hand.”

Speedy centre Ron Flockhart, easily the best Pitts-
burgh player on the ice, said the Penguins, who lost their
21st game of the seasan by one goal, are looking forward
to next year — the Penguins have three first-round draft
picks — but still feel they can play the part of spoilers
before this season is out.

“We have a lot of character,” he said. “We've got
nine games to go and we're not going to give up. We're
not going to give anyone two points and it's going to be a
fight all 60 minutes of the game.”
