SPORTS COMMUNITY NEWS os ip nave dal ‘The Canadian Press When was the last time Chicago Cubs and New York Mets entered a National League baseball season as big favorites to battle it out for a division title? You could look it up, as the legendary Casey Stengel used to say, but it isn't likely you'll find it anywhere. The times are a changin’, howeve id the Cubs, who came within a few bad hops of winning their first pennant since 1945 last season, join thé Mets, whose bountiful farm system and blockbuster trading have brought contending status, as the class of the East Division in 1985. And for the first time since 1980, when they came off a 95-victory season and were proclaimed the team of the 1980s, Montreal Expos haven't drawn so much as a raised eyebrow of support. The East Division hasn't had a team repeat since Philadelphia Phillies in 1978, but the Cubs should gain that distinction by edging the Mets again. And, in the other race — call it the National League Least because all four teams figure to be mediocre 5 VIEW Montreal, if shortstop Hubie Brooks. comes closer to hitting .300 than fielding that much, should nose out Philadelphia, St. Louis and Pittsburgh, in that order. CHICAGO CUBS Other than shortstop Shawon Dunston, their top selection in the 1982 amateur draft, the Cubs enter the season with the same lineup that won 96 games last year. Dunston, whose batting average declined to .233 from .329 when he jumped to Class AAA ball from AA, has pushed veteran Larry Bowa out of a job with a fine spring training. If Dunston struggles offensively, the rest of the infield can pick up the slack — Leon Durham (23 homers, 96 runs batted in last season) at first; Ryne Sandberg, the league's most valuable player (19 homers, 84 RBIs) at second and Ron Cey (25-97) at third. NEW YORK METS Yes, a batting order than has Keith Hernandez (.311, 15 HRs, 94 RBIs in 1984); Gary Carter (.294, 27, 106); Darryl Strawberry (.251, 26, 97); and George Foster (.269, 24, 86) in the third through sixth spots does resemble a Murderers’ Row. But the Mets’ starting pitching staff, after Dwight Gooden — a definite 20-game winner — figures to get murdered as well. The Mets are going to score a lot of runs, but they may yield a few too many to overcome the Cubs. MONTREAL EXPOS The Expos may lead the league in the sale of prog g all the off. changes by general manager Murray ‘Cook. The key newcomers are three players Montreal acquired from the Mets in the Carter trade — catcher Mike Fitzgerald, centre fielder Herm Winningham and Brooks. Vance Law, the former Chicago White Sox infielder, will be beside Brooks at second base. PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES After finishing fourth in 1984, with an 81-81 won-lost record, the Phillies did nothing during the winter, other than send Al Oliver to the Dodgers for pitcher Pat Cubs and Mets class of division Zachry, a spot starter and long reliever. The Phillies’ inactivity should bring another .500 season, and perhaps worse if everybody starts showing their age at the same time. ST. LOUIS CARDINALS Cardinals manager Whitey Herzog said the loss of Sutter to free agency makes him 25 games dumber. That may not mean 25 losses in the standings, but the absence of Bruce Sutter figures to cost them plenty. PITTSBURGH PIRATES Banished to the bullpeh after a mediocre spring, John Candelaria, whose 2.72 ERA tied Rick Rhoden for the best on the starting staff last year, wants to be traded, Rod Scurry, the team's No. 1 left handed reliever, has been replaced in the bullpen by Candelaria, and he, too, wants out. Bill Madlock, the third baseman who is coming off an injury-plagued 1984 season (.253, 4 HRs, 44 RBIs), wonders whether there will be a franchise in Pittsburgh much longer if attendance continues to dip. ANDERSON SAYS Tigers are better By HARRY ATKINS LAKELAND FLA. (AP) — Sparky Anderson gets tired of hearing the Detroit Tigers’ championship season of 1984 was a fluke. If you watch his eyes, you can see the Detroit manager also gets tired of hearing the Tigers can't possibly win the title again because the rest of the American League East is so vastly improved. Well, says Anderson, the Tigers, slightly revamped but virtually intact from a year ago, are better, too. Nobody on the 1984 team had what would be termed a season, with the CASTLEGAR COUGARS Soccer Membership istration at the wagon, Marlane Hotel between 12 p.m. and 6 p.m cred Anyone between six and 22 can join FOR MORE INFO, CALL 365-8381.

SHSS field possible exception of Kirk Gibson. There were no 20- game winners, and only one regular, shortstop Alan Trammel, hit .300 as the Tigers led the division from opening day and virtually eliminated all challengers with a record-breaking 35-5 start. Further, the team played without centre fielder Chet Lemon for two weeks after he was hit above the eye with a ball. “This team will be better,” Anderson said. “But, that doesn’t guarantee anything. We won't win 104 games, I'll tell you that. We won't even win 100.” The question, then, was: Will the Tigers be competi. tive? “Competitive?” Anderson snorted, growing slightly in dignant again. “I expect to win it.” Anderson, with rookie Chris Pittaro starting at third base ' in place of the traded Howard Johnson, has several reasons for believing the Tigers can repeat. “We're the best defensive team in baseball,” he said.

We've got very good power. We've got no real weaknesses. We're pretty solid.” Indeed. The Tigers are one of the best clubs in baseball up the middle, with Lance Parrish catching and Lemon in cen- tre. Trammell again will team with second baseman Lou Whitaker, whom Ander- son briefly considered swit: ching to third base to make room at second for Pittaro. Pittaro is good but it would have taken a while before he and Trammell turned double plays the way Whitaker and Trammell do. Jack Morris, 19-11, and Dan Petry, 18-8, during the regular season last year, are the mainstays of a pitching staff that also includeg vet eran Milt Wilcox, 17-8, and Walt Terrell, acquired for Johnson from the New York Mets with whom he was 11-12. The bullpen is among the best in baseball with left hander Willie Hernandez, last year's Cy Young and Most Valuable Player award winner, and right-hander Aurelio Lopez. The power comes mainly from Parrish, Gibson, Lemon and Darrell Evans who hit 98 of the Tigers’ 187 homers — tops in the major leagues — last season.

When the dust cleared, San Diego Padres held a 12-game bulge over Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros, who tied for second with am embarrassing 80-82 won-lost mark. What's even more surprising is that despite the mediocrity of this division, the Padres and Braves were the only teams — other than the last-place San Francisco Giants — to be significantly involved in off-season player additions. Perhaps because Jack McKeon, the Padres general manager is a trader at heart, but more likely because his ears were still ringing from the pounding San Diego starting pitchers absorbed against Detroit Tigers in the World Series, he added quality to the staff by sending three players to C! igo White Sox for LaMarr Hoyt, the 1983 Cy Young Award winner. Meanwhile, Braves owner Ted Turner reached into | NL WEST PREVIEW | the Vault for almost $12 million to sign Bruce Sutter, the National League saves leader in five of the last six years with St. Louis Cardinals, to douse the bullpen fires that so frequently burned the Braves. The arrival of Sutter will help Atlanta close the 12-game gap that existed in 1984, but it won't be enough to topple a solid Padres squad from their perch, making them the first West Division team to repeat since the Dodgers in 1978. In the rest of the division, Los Angeles should edge out Houston Astros for third spot and Cincinnati Reds figure to grab fifth, keeping the Giants in the basement for another year. SAN DIEGO PADRES The 13.94 earned-run average of the starting pitchers in the World Series aside, the Padres still had 15 and 14 regular-season victories from Eric Show and Mark Thurmond. With Hoyt, trimmed down to 235 pounds from a high of 268 with Chicago last year, likely to come closer to the 24 victories he had in 1983 than the 13 he compiled last year, San Diego has a solid starting staff. ATLANTA BRAVES The Braves have obviously taken a giant step towarc plugging the hole in their bullpen with the signing o Sutter, but questions remain elsewhere. Atlanta desperately needs the potent bat of thirc baseman Bob Horner. He has had surgery twice on the wrist he broke last May, and although he's had only a handful of at-bats this spring, he insists he'll be ready to play by Opening Day LOS ANGELES DODGERS In spring training, manager Tommy Lasorda said Au Oliver was the Dodgers left fielder until he proves otherwise. For the team to even consider using the sore-armed Oliver indicates some glaring deficiencies. Although acquiring Oliver for pitcher Pat Zachry was the only move made by the Dodgers in the off-season, they should move up a notch in the standings, simply because the injury bug, which sent players to the disabled list in 1984, surely can’t strike with as much vengeance again, although right-hander Alejandro Pena (12-6, 2.48) is already out until at least mid-season following shoulder surgery HOUSTON ASTROS The Astros, and all of baseball, are heartened by the comeback of shortstop Dickie Thon. Struck in the face by a pitch early last season, Thon's vision problems continued in winter ball, forcing him to abandon the project. But he has apparently won back his job in spring training. Fences in the Astrodome have been moved 10 feet closer this season, but othe: than left fielder Jose Cruz (.812, 12-95), the Astros don't have a fence-busting attack to take advantage of the situation. All of Cruz’ homers last season were on the roa CINCINNATI REDS There will be excitement in Cincinnati, but it has to do with the 95 hits that player-manager Pete Rose needs to break Ty Cobb's all-time record more than a rise in the standings by the Reds. The Reds stood pat after a 70-92 season, hoping Rose's charisma and leadership might be worth more than major roster moves. This is still a team with players whose best years are behind them, notably Dave Concepcion (.245, 4, 58), who will probably return to shortstop from third base, right fielder Dave Parker (.285, 16, 94 in a surprising rebound last season), and left fielder Cesar Ce 0 (.276, 10, 47), not to mention Rose (.286, 0, 34), who will be 44 on April 14 SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS The Giants may soon be on the move, but it may be to San Jose, a city in which owner Bob Lurie has expressed interest as attendance at chilly, gloomy Candlestick Park dwindles. The team on the field probably has as much to do with it as the uncomfortable breezes, but the Giants shouldn't be as bad as they were in 1984, when their 66-96 record was the worst in the majors. Fishing Report Weekend Wrap-up A LOOK BACK THROUGH OLD NEWSPAPERS “The moment thye [potentialities] are actualized, they are rendered realities; they are saved and delivered imte the past, wherein they are rescued and preserved from transitoriness. For in the past nothing is irrevocably lost.” — from Man's Search for Meaning. * 8 * While in Italy in the last war Fhad the opportunity to visit the lost city of Pompeii, buried by a voleano from Mount Vesuvius in 76 A.D., rediscovered in 1755, and gradually excavated and restored. It was an Alice in Wonderland step into a world almost 2,000 years old and yet retaining echoes of the day before yesterday. The deep grooves worn in the stone-flagged, narrow streets by myriads of chariot wheels was to visualizé the rumbling of the chariots themselves; to see the election signs at the street corners — “vote for Julius Flavius” was to hear the politicians haranguing the crowds and promising more and better goodies, bigger and better lions, fatter and juicier Christians, bread on every table; to read the graffitti on the walls: Scipio Flaternus is a cockroach (free translation), was to be reminded of the general poverty of imagination of graffittiyéfiters across the ages; to visit the House of the Veti popular house of prostitution was to require no imagination; the still frescoes on the walls, painted for the benefit of the customers were as explicit as some of our modern newsstand art. But one does not need to go back 2,000 years to experience this kind of renewed reality — actualization of th epast. A few days ago, for example, when the Katimavik boys were stripping the interior walls of the Chapel House at Zuckerberg Island Park they found an almost entire copy of The Free Press Prairie Farmer printed in Winnipeg and dated June 15, 1938. A few days later Alex Lutz uncovered an Aug. 6, 1938 copy of The Vancouver Daily Province. To read them is an almost physical wrench in time. ‘Charlie Chan is dead,’ shouts one front page province headline as Charlie looked out at one with his bland, inscrutable, oriental smile. The only problem here is the fact that I know full well that Charlie is off‘on an extended holiday and is due to appear at almost any moment to smoothly and cunningly solve yet another unsolvable murder. Then, to add injury to insult, the same article goes on to inform its readers that Chan's real name is Waerner Oland and that he is not Chinese but Swedish. The mind reels at such heresy. Several international stories indicate that the world situation is heating up. One suggests that Britain and others, with the dubious assistance of the “mediator” Runcinan are preparing to feed Czechoslovakia to Hitler, while Mussolini is preparing to limit the Italian Jewish population in “the full life of the state” to 43,000. New homes must be found for five million, says the sub-headline. And we all know how Hitler took that problem off his hands. In the meanwhile, it is reported that Britain is rearming at an unprecedented rate and is already capable of putting half a million men in the field; the Loyalists and the Insurgents (Fascists) are still at one another's throats in Spain as a British consular agent is injured in the bombing of Madrid, and the Russians are bombing the Japanese forces in Korea. Just like always. At home in Canada, Prime Minister Mackenzie King, now 63, will complete his record 19th year as leader of the Liberal party tomorrow and Dr. Lyle Telford, leader of the CCF party states that Canadians must use Canadian grain elevators for their 80 cents-per-bushel wheat “regardless of the protests of private operators.” Carefully turning the rapidly deteriorating yellow sheets to the entertainment section one finds that our own lovely songbird, Diana Durban is appearing at several Vancouver theatres in Mad About Music. Wallace Beerey, Dorothy Lamour, Doug Fairbanks, Paul Muni, Mae West and many other old friends appear in scores of other theatres, and not a single “restricted” sign, not a single “frequent swearing, violence and suggestive scenes,” nor one “totally concerned with sex” in a pageful. How on earth did we manage? The familiar Union Steamship Moonlight Excursion to Bowen Island with Harry Pryce and his merry mariners is there too — $1 for the round trip, and the nostalgia for nothing in the old newspaper. Of course there are the more-difficult-to-take items as well. In a very Prominent series of frames is the who after over his rejection by customers and colleagues, is led by a friend with a bar of Lifebouy soap to see the light and ends loved, successful and free of the dread scourge of body odor. The mournful, menacing radio tones of the fog-horn mating call Lifebouy still ring in my ears “Beeeeee-Oooooo.” In wonder whatever happened to that good, old red soap. More difficult to take than anything else however is the Woodwards “Outstanding Values for Monday” ad: ‘Men's two pants worsted (better quality) suits $16.98. Royal City Sweet Corn — can eight cents; Sugar Crisp corn flakes — seven cents; Woodwards Coffee Special Blend — 29 cents a pound, Choice blend 18 cents, Fairy brand toilet soap — 3’ cents, tuna flakes, fancy — 12 cents.

In any case, I had forgotten how excellent, interesting and comprehensive the Free Press Prairie Farmer was. There was news for both the farmer and the city dweller, as well as international items and community trivia. There were “how-to-do-it” columns and letters, advice columns and medical columns, a great variety of reader input, market quotations, sports, gardening, a fashion page and a fiction story, a strange happenings in the news and a crossword, a society page, a number of cartoons and particularly a colored comic section. I rediscovered, once again such classics as Smitty the office boy and Herby the perpetual “enfant terrible.” There was Moon Mullins, the perpetual loafer in the derby hat and cigar and his legion of goofy relatives and friends. There was Gasoline Alley in which the now sixty-ish Skeezix is a teen-ager trying in vain to get acquainted with his wife-to-be, Nina. And there is the never-aging Little Orphan Annie whose endless cycle of adventures goes back to my early childhood. There were two things I noticed about those 47-year-old comics: They were funny, even Little Orphan Annie was funny in a left-handed sort of a way, and they were better drawn than those generally appearing in the papers now. As a parallel observation, it has been said that half the modern art exhibited in galleries and museums today is fake. There has to be a message here too. Perhaps the most fascinating thing about old h papers is the that they have on our sense of “now” and the fact that they are realities rescued and preserved by which we get a much-needed sense of historic perspective. Take for example the screen star of the earlier cinema, the heroine of the ‘Perils of Pauline’ dramas.

The 1985-86 British Columbia budget contains tax breaks and incentives for business but a five-per-cent cut in real terms for the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University in Burnaby and the University of Vic- toria. The total budget for universities of $344.5 million is the same as 1984-85, but five per cent of that or $14.9 million has been put into a new “special adjustment fund,” which will give ex tra money to universities eliminating or changing their programs. Universities Minister Pat McGeer says the fund is not a carrot to entice universities to tailor their programs to the wishes of the government because the fund is administered by the 11-member Universities Council. The council, however, is appointed by the government. But McGeer says universities must become more productive, trim the fat and make students pay a higher per centage of the costs. This is the second year the gov ernment has cut the universities’ bud get by five per cent and it is the third year that increases in federal grants haven't been passed on. In 1983-84, B.C. froze university spending. INCREASE SPENDING That year, Quebec and Newfound land had the next lowest funding in. creases with less than three per cent. Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Prince Edward Island increased grants by seven to eight per cent, while Mani toba had a 10.3-per-cent increase. G.C. Archibald, a UBC economist, said moves to lessen universities’ auto- nomy fit the government's pattern of centralizing power. In a recently released paper, Ar chibald says the government has already taken away the power of regional districts to veto some muni. cipal developments, taken the power to set variable property tax rates for mu- nicipalities and reduced the autonomy of colleges and institutes. “One might conclude that the government wants the power to tell the universities what to spend the money on, as well as how much they are to have,” Archibald wrote. “If it came to this, one could easily imagine that, one day, the minister could act on his whims: ‘Shut down philosophy, it's unproductive.” He says it appears the government also wants to eliminate tenure. He says the first attack was legislation in- troduced, but never passed, that would allow the government to dismiss public-sector employees without cause. Since then, McGeer, a tenured profes. sor at UBC, has continued to say tenure should be abolished. TOP PEOPLE QUIT A week after the 1985-86 provincial budget was introduced, engineering dean Len Bruton resigned from the University of Victoria saying he couldn't build a world-class faculty “under prevailing fiscal circumstanc- es.” Bruton, who is returning to the Uni- versity of Calgary as dean of engin- eering, said the government is “com- pletely mishandling its relationships with its universities.” His resignation comes hard on the heéls of George Pedersen's resignation as president of UBC, who said govern ment policies had made his job “im possible.” Pedersen, who takes over as presi- dent of the University of Western On- tario in August, said the government is making three main mistakes: its one-year-at-a-time approach to budgets means universities can't do long-term planning; it isn't passing on annual inereases in federal transfer payments for post y and, the cuts might mean educational standards will drop, tuition fees might rbecome prohibitive and young British Cc will be ill compete in the world market.
