There was no verbal sparring Thursday, no bold predictions, not even a hint of rancor when Edmonton’s Joe Faragalli shared a microphone with Winnipeg's Mike Riley. Faragalli did: en threaten to show a six-pack offence in the CFL championship game Sunday — the Eskimos used a five receiver set in the western semifinal against Calgary. Riley blandly delivered his pre- game observations. There was no suggestion the Blue Bomber defence would dine on Edmon- We Have .. .

The worst Riley could do was note that Ham ‘“‘makes people around him better’’ and “turns bad plays into good ones." Faragalli was not wildly more colorful. Winnipeg had the best defensive statistics in the league, he conceded, The coaches conference used to be a lively affair, especially when Hamilton’s Al Bruno was in at- tendance. He was homorous and knew that football fans want to know more than who'll start at right guard. Riley left the Thursday gathering quickly to join his team at practice, leaving Faragalli to scrum with the scribes. Grey Cup lacks emotion It is true he called the media cockroaches after h is team was rocked by reports of racial ill- feeling? “No, | would like to clarify that,”” he said. “‘l wasn't doing anything but using an analogy. when we were 9-3, no one questioned character, heart or anything like that. But when you lose, all these things start coming out, like cultural difference."” Faragalili insisted he didn’t in- “I said winning is like sun- shine. You don’t get all the negative things. But when you lose . . . that’s darkness. It was like putting the light on in my kitchen when I lived in Houston. All the roaches scurry."” Earlier Thursday, at the Bom- ber media breakfast, Riley was more informative about his team, which beat Edmonton twice in league play this year. “We use team speed on defen- ce to run people down,” Riley said. *‘Sometimes I worry about our size, but speed compen- sates.”" The easy-going Riley, 37, is the son of Bud Riley, who led the Bombers from 1974 through 1977, winning 34 games, and coached in several other CFL cities. Mike already has 40 Boinber wins in league play and Grey Cup rings from 1984 as an assistant coach and 1988 as the head man. Pinball named CFL's best- VANCOUVER (CP) — Mike Clemons was celebrating Thursday night, but it was one party he would have gladly put off. The Toronto Argos’ Mr. Everything was named the outstan- ding player in the Canadian Football League. The pint-sized running back, professional football’s first 3,000- yard man, was an easy winner over Edmonton slotback Craig Ellis in voting by the Football Reporters of Canada. While pleased with the honor, Clemons said he felt something like a high-school prom queen without a date. The Argos’ Grey Cup hopes were dashed by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the Eastern division final, forcing Pinball, as he is known, to fly solo to the West Coast. “It’s unfortunate that I couldn’t bring my escorts out here with me,”” said the five-foot-six back, who gave new meaning to the Argo bounce with his ability to escape tacklers. “*I would have liked to have had a big party Sunday night (after the CFL final) instead of (Thursday). This is the greatest personal award I’ve got but it doesn’t mean as much as a Grey Cup victory would have.”” Clemens was of three eastern players to collect awards. Winnipeg linebacker Greg Battle was named the league’s outstanding defensive player and Ottawa running back Reggie Barnes was chosen as the rookie of the year. Sask back Ray Elgaard was the. outstanding Canadian, and B.C. Lions tackle Jim Mills was named the outstanding of- fensive lineman. In his second year in the CFL, Clemons gained 3,300 yards, topping the record of 2,896 set in 1984 by Rufus Crawford of Hamilton. Clemons, 25, led the CFL in punt returns with 1,045 yards, was third in kickoff returns (831), 14th in pass receiving (905) and 13th in rushing yardage (519). He also had 14 touch- downs as the Argos scored a record 689 points. Ellis had a career season, catching 106 passes for 1,654 yards and 17 touchdowns. “*Pinball was incredible,’ said Ellis. ‘‘But I got one thing he don’t got — a chance to win the Grey Cup.” Barnes rushed for 1,260 yards and scored six touchdowns in 14 games with the Rough Riders. He was the second Ottawa running back in three years to receive rookie-of-the-year honors. Orville Lee, now with Saskatchewan, won in 1988. Barnes defeated Saskatchewan running back Lucius Floyd, who ony gan, for421 yards but had 73 recep- tions for 811 yards and five touch- downs. Elgaard, 31, was the outstanding Canadian for the second time in his eight-year CFL career. He had a career-high 94 receptions for 1,494 yards and 11 touchdowns in 16 Locals take fourth By STEVE PEDEN Staff Writer Twelve Stanley Humphries secon- dary school swimmers left for the coast last weekend to compete in the B division secondary school provin- cial swim meet, and the result for the team was three silver medals and a fourth-place finish. Richmond placed first, Sentinel of Vancouver was second and Nanaimo finished third. Justin Phillips won a silver in the while the other two medals came from the boys relay team in the medley and freestyle segments. More than 400 swimmers from 82 schools attended the meet and coach Mike Balahura was delighted with the performance of the club. “I'm really happy with the team and its performance last weekend,’’ Balahura said Friday. ‘“We are truly team oriented. We don’t have one or two strong swimmers on the team so the victory was definitely a team ef- fort.”” Besides the three silver medals acquired by the club, there were also some other strong performances, especially in the relay portion of the meet. In the mixed relay events (two boys and two girls per team) both the medley and the freestyle foursomes finished fourth, while the girls relay teams also made it to the finals. Mixed with the good news is the sad news of three team who B! games. ‘The 1988 winner, Elgaard defeated i kicker Paul O: is who shares the CFL record for poin- ts in a single season, 233, with David Ridgway of Saskatchewan. Osbaldiston kicked 212 points in 1990. Battle, a runner-up last year, beat Edmonton defensive end Stewart Hill in voting for the defensive star. The Blue Bomber insider linebacker had 100 tackles with four quarterback sacks and three interceptions. Hill, a seven-year veteran of the Eskimos who'll be a free agent after the 1990 season, led the league in sacks with 17. Mills, a Vancouver native, narrowly defeated Walby, 34 votes to 29, and denied him his second award as the league’s outstanding offensive lineman. The Winnipeger, a 10-year veteran, won in 1987 and is a five- time CFL all-star. Primary 3 students from Valley Vista el: y scho toured the Castlegar News on Thursday.

Huskies vs. Huskies SASKATOON — Either the Saskatchewan Huskies or the Saint Mary’s Huskies of Halifax will be the best university football club in Canada, after Saturday’s Vanier Cup game in Toronto. With the win will go the spoils of being number one. To the loser, It will also be embarrassing for the losing students’ union executive because both of the university’s student executives have agreed to wear the sweatshirt of whichever team wins. And the losers must color an ‘S’ or an ‘M’ on their forehead for the day. And just for kickers, the losers must compose an ‘‘ode to the Expos will be busy MONTREAL — The Montreal Expos will play 29 pre-season games in 30 days next spring, including seven games each against the New York Yankees and Atlanta Braves, the National League baeball Pitchers and catchers are to report to camp at West Palm Beach, Fla., on Feb. 24, with the rest reporting Feb. 26.

The garage sale was also popular, as was the United Church Women’s bake and craft table. The Canadian Girls in Training group staffed a jewelry table, while the Sunday School held a book sale. The Discoverers’ (young boys) group made Jacob’s ladders and ginger- bread candy houses, in addition to holding a bean bag toss. A large assortment of Christmas cards and wrapping was available. And no one went away hungry, thanks to the chili lunch put on by the men’s breakfast group, topped off by a slice of homemade pie from the United Church women.
