B2 CASTLEGAR NEWS, September 27,198) Springboks team Quiet departure ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — After a U.S tour marred by protests and two destructive explosions, South Africa’s controversial Springboks rugby team prepared Satur- day to make a quiet depar- ture for home. The tour organizers re- fused to reveal when the rugby team would leave Al- bany. The Knickerbocker News aid in an unattributed report that the team is booked on a night flight Monday to South Africa from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City. Port authority police in New York first said the team would leave Saturday night but later said that informa- tion was incorrect. The team was still in its Albany hotel Saturday afternoon. Although the Springboks are an integrated team, the tour sparked brought from opponents of apartheid, South Africa’s policy of racial separation. Cause By The Canadian Press Injuries are complicating Winnipeg coach Ray Jauch’s battle to better the Blue Bombers 5-5 standings in the Canadian Football League. “It’s tough to prepare when you're not sure who you're going to’ have in there,” Jauch said as he readied his players to meet British Columbia Lions today at Winnipeg Stadium. He had planned on rein- stating tackle John Helton and rookie end Pete Catan on the defensive front and re- uniting William Miller and Obie Graves in the backfield. But Helton’s torn back muscle and Catan’s sprained ankle were still causing trou- ble last week. After Miller twisted his already damaged ankle in practice,. Jauch's problems multiplied. Nevertheless, Winnipeg's record is a bright one com- pared with Toronto Argo- nauts’ 0-11. The Argonauts, who haven't won a game since Oct. 26, 1980, meet Calgary Stampeders today in Toronto. Stampeders are tied with Winnipeg at 5-5. A bomb blast Tuesday damaged the Eastern Rugby Union office in nearby Schen- ectady; an explosion and fire Friday in Evansville, Ind., destroyed a rugby club office and the building next door. No one was injured in either explosion. The ERU went on to lose a game to the Springboks. The Evansville club, also an in- tegrated team, had voted un- animously to seek a match with the South Africans. The match never was arranged. CLEAN SWEEP Despite the controversy, the South Africans trounced America’s amateur rugby players in each of their mat- ches: The Springboks won 46 * to 12 on Sept. 19 in Racine, Wis.; 41 to 0 on Tuesday in Albany and 38 to 7 Friday in a Schenectady suburb. The game Friday was played a day ahead of sched- ule to avert protests. New York Gov. Hugh Carey, who had tried to prevent the Al- bany game on grounds of an “imminent threat” of rioting, was told in advance of the Friday match and sent state troopers to provide security. The South African’s tour also left the U.S. rugby community divided. The United States Rugby Foot- ball Union criticized Thomas Selfridge of Schenectady, president of the ERU, for the secret Friday game, which many fans coyld not attend. And USRFU President David Chambers said his ex- ecutive committee would “make a full inquiry into the actions of Mr. Selfridge.” including payments he ac- cepted of $50,000 from the South African Rugby Board and $25,000 from South Afri- can businessman Louis Leyt. Selfridge has said the $50,000 helped pay Spring- boks’ expenses and the $25,000 was to improve American rugby programs. He said his goal had been to protect the players and allow the games to go on. complications The Bombers are two. games away from a playoff berth in the Western Divi- sion and can waste no time in th efinal third of the 1981-82 season. “We're trying to get back to where we were earlier in the season,” Jauch said. The Bombers have slipped from 4-1. The only roster change made by B.C. head coach Vic Rapp for the Winnipeg game has been the substitution of Richard Murray for Tyrone Keys at left defensive end. Cornerback Kerry Parker, who has had more than his share of trouble this year, has been given a reprieve. “Kerry's looked better this week,” said Rapp. “It’s cer- tainly not a matter of speed. (He turned in the fastest time in the 40-yard sprint in train- ing camp). But he's been having trouble making the play on the ball. The Lions have an 83 record. SEEMS LONGER The Argos’ 336-day winless spell seems even longer to Paul Pearson, Toronto's best receiver who has scored two touchdowns and caught 45 passes for 671 yards this sea- son — a 14.9 average. “God, it seems like 10 years,” Pearson said. “We won six games last year and I was thinking we'd goat least 8-8 this season. I'm just numb, stunned. Now I'm thinking ‘Hey, to win six games ... that would be great.’ ” Cc will KJSS intramural kick-off day —CasNewsFoto by Cheryl Wishlow KJSS hoping for ‘strong program Kinnaird Junior Secondary School (KJSS) is aiming at a strong intramural program for its grade seven and eight students.
