Fans oppose strike By The Associated Press Three independent media polls showed Tuesday that National Football League fans would rather watch a game between substitute players than no game at all during the strike. The polls were conducted by the Washington Post-ABC News, the Dallas Morning News and the Detroit Free Press. In the Post-ABC survey, 60 per cent of the people polled said they would watch a tele- vised game between two teams that used non-striking players and those who had not made the team earlier in the year. The survey found 32 per cent favored the owners in the dispute; 20 per cent favored the players. A similar Post-ABC survey on the eve of the 1982 NFL strike showed 88 per cent favored the players, 19 per cent the owners. The Morning News said 67 per cent of the people it polled would watch a free- agent game on television; 61 per cent blamed the players for the strike; 19 per cent blamed the owners; and 25 per cent said the players were overpaid. The Free Press said 58 per cent of its respondents thought it was better to use free agents than cancel a game; 42 per cent thought it was better to drop the game. Twins win with homers By The Canadian Press Whether going long or short, the Minnesota Twins made good use of their “Homerdome” to beat the Texas Rangers.

The Twins produced three home runs and also got an insurance run when the Ran- gers’ infielders lost a pop fly in the light of the dome's whitish-grey roof, something that happens often at the Metrodome. The Twins also got solid relief pitching to close out the Rangers. “We gave them three runs (on errors) and we still man- aged to come out on top be- cause of some good pitching,” said Twins manager Tom Kelly. “We were a little sloppy in the field, but our pitching picked us up to- night.” The second-place Oakland Athletics remained four games behind the Twins with a 10-2 rout of the Cleveland Indians. In other AL games Tues day, it-was: the California Angels 5, the Chicago White Sox 3; the Kansas City Royals 4, the Seattle Mar- iners 3 in 10 innings, and the Milwaukee Brewers 7, the New York Yankees 2 in the first game of a doubleheader and the Yankees 10, Brewers 8 in the nightcap.

Pittsburgh tried Bob Errey on left wing with Mario Lemieux and he scored two goals, both set up by Lemieux, who saw his first action since returning from the Canada Cup series. New Pittsburgh coach Pierre Creamer indicated he will try other wingers before settling on permanent linemates for Lemieux. ‘Third-period goals by Stewart Gavin and Tom Martin lifted the Whalers into the tie. Dwight Mathaisen also scored for Pittsburgh while Paul Lawless scored the other goal for Hartford.

Most of the Nordiques’ top players stayed in Quebec City. Jets 5 Flames 0 At Winnipeg, Thomas Steen assisted on two goals and action goaltenders Eldon (Pokey) Reddick and Daniel Berthiaume combined for 19 saves as Winnipeg blanked Calgary in a fight-filled game.

Sabres 4 U.S.3 At Rochester, N.Y., rookie right winger Ray Sheppard scored two goals and goalie Daren Puppa stopped the 11 shots he faced in the third period as Buffalo defeated the U.S. Olympic team.

Brent Fedyk, Gerard Gallant and. Adam Oates scored for Detroit. Jary Torkki and Bill Watson also scored for Chicago. D' ARMOUR HOPES FOR POSITION WINNIPEG (CP) — After playing for six different teams in three leagues and two continents last year, goal tender Mare D'Amour could be forgiven if he sometimes forgot what town he was in, let alone whose uniform he could wear that night. D'Armour, 26, struggling to earn the backup position behind starter Mike Vernon, didn’t help his cause by being stung for three first-period goals as the Calgary Flames were stymied 5-0 by the Winnipeg Jets in an NHL exhibition game Tuesday. “I can’t afford to have a bad period,” D'Amour said as he towelled himself off after the shelling. “I can't let this bother me. I've got to bounce back and whenever I play again, get the job done. I hope they're not going to decide who they're Boing: to to keep- over one period.” D'Amour played 15 NHL games in 1985-86, posting two wins, four losses, a pair of ties and a 3.43 goals. against average. Twice he suffered an unusual illness that left him severely ing in him i the rest of the year with Calgary's American Hockey League farm team in Moncton, N.B. “It hasn't recurred,” said D'Amour, who stopped 14 of 17 shots in just over 30 minutes Tuesday, as the Flames were outgunned 29-19. MOVES AROUND The five-foot-10, 165-pound Sundbury, Ont., native attended Calgary's training camp last year, but was demoted to the Salt Lake City Golden Eagles of the International Hockey League where he posted a 3-5-1 record in 10 games and a 4.26 average He was called up to the Canadian Olympic Team for a month after netminder Sean Burke was injured, then popped up with Binghamton of the AHL. There he played eight games, winning five and losing three while, posting a 3.90 goals-against average. D'Amour also did a tour of duty with the Canadian team which won the Spengler Cup hockey tournament in Davos, Switzerland, and saw some time again in Moncton. “It was different, frustrating,” D'Amour said about his globetrotting season. “There were just too many goaltenders. There just wasn't room.” People close to the Flames say D'Amour has been Calgary's best goaltender during training camp. He posted a 2.0 goals-against average during the Flames’ camp mini-tournament, then combined with Doug Dadswell, making 10 saves, in Calgary's 3-0 victory over the Jets last weekend. DADSWELL FAVORED Still, the Flames seem to be leaning toward Dadswell, 23, a five-foot-10, 175-pound native of Toronto as Vernon's backup. Dadswell made 10 saves after replacing D'Amour midway through the second period Tuesday. 4 Calgary eogch Terty:Crisp said D'Amour's bad night against the Jets doesn't necessarily mean the travelling goalie will be sent packing again. “He didn’t play well, but there is not a one-night game or a one-night season,” said Crisp. D'Amour has heard the rumors he’s on his way out with Calgary, but hopes his performance during training camp will force the Flames to change their minds. “I hope I’m not doing all this for nothing,” he said slowly. “I think it’s my turn. I deserve a shot. Mind you, I have to earn it. That's all I want to do, go out and earn it.” Thomas Steen set up two goals while goaltenders Eldon (Pokey) Reddick and Daniel Berthiaume combined for 19 saves in the Jets’ victory, played before 9,552 fans. Defenceman Brad Berry, on the power play, Craig Endean, Peter Douris, Dave Ellett and Paul MacLean scored the Jet goals. day after baseball owners were found guilty of shun- Baseball owners will ignore free agents NEW YORK (AP) — The In the case i the Mid-Week Wrap-up 1985 free agents, Roberts said additional hearings will Registration Forms Available at The Arena Complex Office.

But the “ghosts” turned out to be from vibrations caused by wheels on the scanner which now have been removed. Fresh scans this week confirmed the existence of the cavities. Hahn paid $1 million for Playboy interview CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Stating that “I am not a bimbo,” Jessica Hahn says in an interview that “two men had me in one day. I hated every second of it.” Hahn, 28, gives her side of the 1980 sexual encounter that led to the downfall of television evangelist Jim Bakker in a 31-page inter- view and photo spread — profusely illustrated — in the November issue of Playboy magazine. Hahn's lawyer indicated Tuesday that she may have received $1 million US from Playboy. “This is supposed to be the year of the bimbos, right? So (AP) let's start with the fact that I am not a bimbo,” Hahn, a former church secretary from West Babylon, N.Y., said in the interview. “I know that’s how people see me, but I am not what T've been made out to be — someone without thoughts or feelings or explanations. I am a human being. I was done in. Asked in the interview about her encounter with Bakker in a Florida motel room, Hahn said: “People use words like adultery and tryst and hush money. You know, two men had me in one day. I hated every second of it, and it has ruined my life. And I took hush money, all right — Tuesday outside the federal courthouse in Charlotte, where Barbara said Hahn was testifying about possible tax violations by former PTL officials in the payment of blackmail to her before Bak- ker resigned from PTL last March. Barbara said Hahn has “al- ways believed the money came from Mr. Bakker, not from the PTL ministry.” Asked how much his client had been paid for the Play- Jackson tour boosts Pepsi sales in Japan TOYKO (AP) — Michael Jackson's slick, much-herald- ed tour of Japan has given Pepsi Cola, the perennial No. 2 soft drink, a much-needed boost in sales. Despite Coca-Cola's over- whelming dominance of the Japanese cola market, Pepsi sales jumped 100 per cent this summer with an ad campaign offering free tick- ets to Jackson's 13 concerts and 35,000 Michael Jackson souvenirs. “It'd done more than just buoying us here,” says Aaron Walton, associate marketing director for Pepsico Ine. which is sponsoring Jack- son's worldwide tour launch- ed in Tokyo last week. “It has Refugee backlog growing VANCOUVER (CP) — refugee situation in Canada is a mess and the federal gov- ernment appears unable or unwilling to take steps to clear it up, a former immi- gration official said. “Bogus refugees are com- ing in so fast that we've lost control of the system,” said Charles Campbell, a former vice-chairman. Campbell, who served for until his retirement in 1983, said the refugee backlog was 1,500 in 1981, 9,000 in 1983, 15,000 in 1984 and 25,000 in 1986. He said the mess could be solved by hiring more immi- cial gration staff and processing new claimants immediately, assisting genuine refugees and sending the others home quickly. Campbell said the govern- ment scuttled the refugee backlog in 1986 by reas- signing staff and establishing “soft, lax admissions criteria applicable only to refugee claimants and designed to accept 85 per cent of them.” helped put Pepsi well on the map.” The 29-year-old singer, who has a reported $5 million annual contract with Pepsico, has almost made a series of four commercials featuring shots of Jackson in concert and dodging fans. A TV special of his Pepsi-sponsored concerts will be broadcast next month. Coke has a 93-per-cent share in Japan's cola market, with Pepsi second, at six per cent, say Coca-Cola and Pepsi officials. The remaining one per cent is held by Japanese soft drink manufacturers. COKE Is IT With Coke outselling Pepsi 15 to 1 in Japan, Pepsi needs a considerable boost to pre- vent a serious challenge. The Michael mania that has grip- ped Japan since the singer arrived Sept. 9 doubled sales during July and August over the same two months last year, says Yasuo Sakamoto, marketing manager for Pep- sico Japan Co. The advertising blitz doesn’t worry Coke, which was granted equal licensing rights by the Japanese gov- ernment in 1961 to import cola concentrate. Coke aggressively built up an extensive bottling system, inviting top businesses to franchise, and this led to its huge market share. Pepsi's scheme “doesn’t affect things too much,” says Akira Ueno, vice president for external relations of Coca- Cola (Japan) Co., Ltd. “It’s a one-time promotion and it may increase people's awareness in Japan, but they don’t have enough distribu- capacity to expand ficult because of the limited area and time period they are covering.” Exotic creatures hitch freighters WINDSOR, Ont. (CP) — Some exotic-soundipg foreigners that stowed away on ocean freighters have taken up new homes in the Great Lakes, says a Uni- versity of Windsor biologist.

A baby-boomer who grew up with civil rights marches, Vietnam, hippies and an emerging women's movement, Kostash was horrified to find she was responding to teen- agers the same way her parents had in the 1960s. “You call that a hairdo? What's that terrible music? Is that a boy or a girl?" she says, recalling some of the questions she was beginning to ask. So Kostash, now 43, spent more than a year talking to about 50 girls aged 15 to 19 in classrooms, shopping malls and other teen hangouts in Vancouver, Toronto and her home town of Edmonton. Her dbservations and conversations with the girls — humorous and at times heart-wrenching — are the subject of her new boak, No Kidding (McClelland and Stewart; $24.95). As a feminist, Kostash wanted to find out if the women’s movement had made any difference in the way girls grow up. NO HUSBAND “Each had an image of herself as active and independent and having a role in the world,” said Kostash, adding that the girls don't expect a husband to support them. “They don't have that expectation, as my generation did, that that’s the way things would work out,” Kostash said while in Toronto this week promoting the book. “They're not afraid to be single women.” Kostash said she chose to research only teenaged girls because they were more accessible to Jaca than their male counterparts.

Bakker and his top aides are under investigation for possible mail, wire and tax fraud. Hahn was testifying under a limited grant of immunity from prosecution. Investigators are trying to find oyt whether PTL offic- ials conspired to falsify rec- ords — including those re- lated to the Hahn settlement — to protect the ministry's tax-exempt status. They also’ want to know whether Bakker declared as ineome all money PTL paid on his behalf — including the payment to Hahn. during count gency drives last year, Amnesty International reported Tues- day. The international human rights group says soldiers fighting the Surinamese Lib- eration Army shot the civil- trigger. One woman was said to have been shot in the head as she tried to crawl to safety, and a man was hacked to death by soldiers using machetes after he refused to leave his house. Official reports say the villagers had been warned to leave_the area and were killed in crossfire between government forces and the rebels. But witnesses told Am- nesty International no guer- rillas were near the villages during the raids, and the soldiers were not attacked. ians during raids on villages in the eastern part of the country in 1986.

Since July 1986, it has been attacked by guerrillas led by former army sergeant Ronny Brunswijk. MYRNA KOSTASH . society idealizes adolescence “I was accepted, I could go into the girls’ washroom, talk with their friends at the mall or go into their bedrooms.” Although some of the conversations focused on subjects often considered cute but unimportant by adults — such as boys and clothes — Kostash reveals that many of today’s teenagers face serious hardships and family violence that have matured them beyond their years. Carla became anorexic at 13 and later tried to commit father who sexually abused her, she dreamed of going to university. For the. most part, teenage girls are conservative, Kostash said. “We don't need to be worried about this generation of teenagers, if you're worried about kids who have no respect for your values. Believe me, these kids are all too respectful. They're like clones of yuppies.” And although many adults assume adolescents are “having free, unfettered, polymorphous sex” at an early age, Kostash said that isn't true in most cases. “I'm here to tell you that your daughters are having very bad sex and they're not having it very often,” she said, noting that their use of birth control is sporadic at best. One of the most overwhelming on for — was how istic society's “We think it’s a time of great delight, soni freedom.” she said. “But the fact of the matter is, it's en age when you are powerless. “You ha ve i ots goutre iat emotionally — up the creek without a pps ne Mastesbtan lets you You receive OUR line of credit with OUR lower interest rates.
