Van Gogh sold at $52m

MONTREAL (CP) — Fifteen sunflowers in a vase,
cheap at the time — a Van Gogh still life, and poor old
Vincent didn't get a sou or a guilder for it.

Yet, a few months ago, 99 years after he painted it, a
Japanese insurance company bought it for $52 million.

A blue-chip painting is the term some Canadian art
consultants and historians use to describe it, and all agree
that you can't go wrong when you buy blue-chip art, even
with world stock markets in a flap. But how many people
or institutions can afford that kind of money, and what do
lesser folk do if they want to dabble in art?

While it's still too soon to fee! the tremors of present
financial markets, Montreal art dealer Alan Klinkhoff
says “there may be a certain availability of fine paintings
at very, very interesting prices be it six months, a year or
two weeks, however long this depression or recession
lasts.”

But Frederik Dupare, chief curator at the Montreal
Museum of Fine Arts, says stock market crises do not
really affect prices of the top works of art.

SUPPLY SMALL

“The supply is very small anyhow and the demand is
ever growing. j

“If you want to invest in art,” he suggests, “buy.the
very best — one work rather than 12 little things. The
only safe investment is top quality.”

The big difference, Duparc says, is that, when you
invest in stocks, you keep the shares in a bank vault,
while a work of art is something you can enjoy.

A similar view comes from Nina Wright, president of
Arts and Communications Counselors in Toronto, who
speaks off “the fiscal and psychic” investment in art.

“You now only have the pleasure of living with it, but
it probably goes up in value.”

As for buying, there is one rule, she says. “Usually,
the younger the painter, the less expensive the painting
and the less rapidly it rises in value. You're buying it for
the long run and its inherent quality.”

REMAINS WARY

Edith Yeomans, executive administrator of the Pro-
fessional Art Dealers Association of Canada, prefers to
“steer clear” of the idea of investment.

“Basically, the point is that you buy what you love,
what you want, a work of art that you can't do without. If
it happens to increase in value, wonderful.”

But if you don't have an extensive amount of money, you

“When the bottom falls out of the stock market,

there's less money around.”

Lesser works are the first to be hit, Steinberg says,
“but prices certainly won't fall on the key pieces because
there are so few of them available.”

Oilers shutout |
Sabres 5-0

EDMONTON: (CP) Kevin McClelland and Wayne
Gretzky each scored two goals and Grant Fuhr picked up his
first shutout in three years Saturday as the Edmonton
Oilers beat the Buffalo Sabres 50 in National Hockey
League play.

Fuhr kicked out 26 shots for his third career shutout —
he also shared one with Andy Moog in Jan., 1965 — and first
since Nov. 17, 1984. Edmonton's last shutout was by Andy
Moog on Nov. 8, 1985.

Fuhr's most anxious moments came in the game's first
five minutes when the Sabres stormed to the attack.

Their best chance of the game, however, was by Mark
Napier late in the period. Fuhr was sitting in the crease and
Napier, a former Oiler, had the puck right in front.
Somehow, Fuhr stuck out out his glove and corralled the
puck.

CANUCKS 4 NORTH STARS 1

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (AP) — Rookie Kirk McLean
stopped 29 shots and Petri Skriko had three assists
Saturday night, leading Vancouver to a 4-1 NHL victory
over the Minnesota North Stars, the Canucks’ first triumph
at Minnesota since Feb. 2, 1980.

The Canucks have won two straight games for the first
time since the end of last season, both behind McLean, who
has started 11 of Vancouver's 13 games since being acquired
from New Jersey in a pre-season trade.

Thanks to Skriko, Vancouver scored twice in a
51-second span of the first period and never gave up the
lead.

Dewalt eyes all-stars

VANCOUVER (CP) — Roy De-
walt of the: British Columbia Lions
figures it’s about time he got his due as
a Canadian Football League quarter-
back

Dewalt has been a CFL pivot for
eight seasons, but has never been
selected to an all-star team.

The 1987 divisional all-star teams
will be released Nov. 17 and Dewalt
figures'to get some attention in the
Western Division balloting by selected
members of the Football Reporters of
Canada.

But, with the memory of 1985 still
vivid, Dewalt said he understands the
situation surrounding all-star selec
tions.

“If I'm picked it will be an honor,”
he said this week. “Every year I start
the season with the personal goals of
leading the league in passing and
making the all-star team.”

In 1985, the year Lions won the
Grey Cup, Dewalt led the CFL in
virtually every passing category —

from 4,237 in yardage to a fancy

completion percentage of 63.2. But, it

was Matt Dunigan of the Edmonton

Eskimos, nearly 1,000 yards behind in

passing yardage, who got the nod on

both the western and all-CFL teams.
JUST HOPING

“Matt did a lot of exciting scramb-
ling that year and all I did was drop
back and throw,” said Dewalt, who this
season has moved into the No. 8 spot on
the CFL's all-time passing list. “But
that’s life. As for this year, it's out of
my hands. All I can do is wait and
hope.”

Don Matthews, the B.C. head
coach two years ago, insisted the 1985
choice of Dunigan over Dewalt was
motivated by racism. Lions’ Dewalt
won't say whether he agrees.

“I have my own views on the sub-
ject and maybe some day I'll share
them in a book or something,” Dewalt
sai do remember there was a lot of
(local) .bitterness that year over why
one quarterback (Dewalt) was playing

all the time and the other guy (Tim
Cowan) wasn’t getting to play.

“That may have influenced the
voters. But it had nothing to do with
me. I didn't make the decision.”

Dewalt may have to wait until at
least next year to make the all-CFL
team because Tom Clements of the
Winnipeg Blue Bombers is having a
banner year with 35 touchdown passes.

LIKES CLEMENTS
“I'd be very disappointed if
Tom isn't the all-CFL QB with the year
he’s having,” said Dewalt.

Dewalt is ranked second in the
CFL passing statistics behind Cle-
ments. Dewalt has thrown 19 scoring
passes, while the fifth-rated Dunigan
has connected for 21 touchdown throws
this year.

Meanwhile, the Lions have de-
cided to rest defensive end James
(Quick) Parker for the last regular-
season game today against the Sask-
atchewan Roughriders at B.C. Place
Stadium.

Problems continue to plague
the game of football, both in Canada
and the United States.

In our neck of the woods, the
Canadian Football League is faced
with some major financial head-
aches. The league is losing money
and everyone from team trainers to
CFL commissioner Doug Mitchell
himself has agreed to take pay cuts.

The situation is serious. That is
why after player and management
representatives met this week, the
players decided to take pay cuts.

For some players it means
taking additional cuts in salary as
they have already agreed to forfeit
some of the cash that they had
earlier negotiated.

When both the players and
Mitchell agree to take salary cuts
without arguing about it, you know
the league is hurting.

The Montreal Alouettes folded
last June, one day before their
season opener. Both the Ottawa
Rough Riders and the Saskatche-
wan Roughriders have had to ask
for $200,000 advances from the
league's stabilization fund, and
according to league reports, other
clubs are almost broke.

And if you read Sports Illus-
trated magazine, no one — Cana-
dians especially — likes the CFL
anymore.

In a four-page story on the CFL
in its Nov. 9 issue called Staying
Away in Droves, the New York-
based magazine contends that in the

with Sports Ilustrated’s view of the
league. Management's mismanage-
ment continues to drive the league
deeper and deeper into the ground.

“The league is dying,” Rick
Reilly, a staff writer for Sports
Tlustrated who spent a week in
Canada researching the story, said.
“Rigor mortis hasn't set in, but I
think it’s pretty close.

“Just by being there, I got the
feeling that the Canadian people
don’t want it. It seems they have
decided the CFL is a minor league.
Let's face it, it is a minor league.
The games I saw were entertaining,
but I don't think the talent is
anywhere near what there is in the
NFL,” said Reilly.

I think Reilly is right in a lot of
his remarks, but if he’s going to
defend the NFL, then I wouldn't be
throwing any stones from the glass
house that league lives in.

First of all, NFL players go on

were losing during the strike, they
called the strike off — after several
players had already crossed the
picket lines.

And while the strike is over,
things are less than kosher in the
NFL these days. The players who
crossed teammates’ picket lines are
now getting the cold shoulder from
their comrades.

In New Orleans, quarterback
Bobby Hebert threatened never to
throw another pass to strikebreaker
receiver Eric Martin.

Mark Gastineau, who had stri-
kers ‘spit at him and pound on his
car, gets icy stares from a few of the
New York Jets.

And the fans are certainly not
impressed with the play they have
been subjected to since the strike.

In Washington, the Redskins
were greeted with loud boos as they
stumbled to a sloppy win over the
Jets.

And when St. Louis dropped a
home game to Philadelphia, the
mere 24,586 fans who turned out for
the game let St. Louis owner Bill
Bidwell know that he can make good
on his threat to move the team.

So while the CFL is less than
perfect, the NFL is certainly ‘not
God's gift to football.

alone in front. Smy! faked goalie Don Beaupre to the ice and
scored on a backhander.

Then, Skriko outworked defenceman Frantisek Musil
behind the net and, while sprawling, fed Greg Adams.
Adams’ first shot was stopped, but he poked his rebound
over the fallen Beaupre for his 12th goal.

BLUES 4 MAPLE LEAFS 3

TORONTO (CP) — St. Louis Defenceman Brian
Benning broke a tie with a power-play goal at 6:46 of the
third period and the Blues withstood late Toronto pressure
to beat the Maple Leafs 4-3 Saturday night and end a
three-game losing streak.

Bernie Federko, Rob Whistle and Tony McKegney also
scored for the Blues, who won for only the second time in
eight road games this season.

Gery Leeman, Russ Courtnall and Dave Setmenko
scored for Toronto, which blew a 2-0 lead and had «
five-game winning streak broken.

Leaf goaltender Allan Bester suffered his first loss after
winning all of his first three starts this season — all of them
during the streak.

CANADIENS 5 FLYERS 4

MONTREAL (CP) — Stephane Richer and Mike
McPhee each had a goal and an assist to lead the Montreal
Canadieris to a 5-4 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers in
NHL action Saturday night.

The game was tied 3-8 late in the third period when
Montreal's Mats Naslund picked up a loose puck in his own
end and cleared it up to Richer on the right-wing boards.
Richer streaked down the ice and drilled a 45-foot slapshot
past Flyers netminder Ron Hextall for the go-ahead goal at
16:58.

McPhee then added an insurance marker at 18:35 when
he skated around the Flyers net and stuffed the puck past
Hextall. That proved to be important because Brian Propp
tallied his second goal for Philadelphia with less than a
minute remaining.

ISLANDERS 4 RED WINGS 3

UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) — Rich Kromm scored his
second goal of the game at 1:46 of overtime Saturday night
to give the New York Islanders a 4-3 NHL victory over the
Detroit Red Wings.

Detroit had tied the score on goals by Brent Ashton and
Steve Yzerman in the final 90 seconds of regulation.

But Kromm took a pass from Mikko Makela and fired
hard shot from the lower right faceoff circle past goaltender
Glen Hanlon, giving the Islanders their fourth win in five

over the Washington Capitals Saturday night for the Devils’
eighth straight triumph at home.

New. Jersey’s Patrik Sundstrom opened the scoring
with his fifth goal of the season at 18:25 of the second period
on a power play. Sundstrom took Mark Johnson's rebound
and fired a 10-foot shot from the slot past Washington
goaltender Pete Peeters.

Kevin Hatcher tied the scored 1-1 for the Capitals with
an unassisted power-play goal. He intercepted Devils
defenceman Bruce Driver's attempted clearing pass and
fired a 40-footer from the top of the left circle past
goaltender Bob Sauve.

BRUINS 4 PENGUINS 1

BOSTON (AP) — Rick Middleton scored two goals, one
on a short-handed breakaway, as the Boston Bruins snapped
a six-game winless streak with a 4-1 NHL victory over the
Pittsburgh Penguins Saturday night.

The Bruins, given a tongue-lashing by coach Terry
O'Reilly for a 7-6 loss to Toronto two days before, limited the
Penguins to two shots in the first period, 17 for the game.

The Penguins were without centre Mario Lemieux,
their top goal scorer, who went back to Pittsburgh nursing a
bruised shoulder and back spasms suffered in a Thursday

game.

Cam Neely’s 10th goal of the season gave Boston a 1-0
lead in the first period as he drilled #265-footer between the
pads of Pittsburgh goalie Pat Riggin.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Peter Stastny scored his
14th and 15th goals of the season and added two assists to
spark the Quebec Nordiques past the Hartford Whalers 5-3
Saturday night.

Stastny’s first goal capped a two-goal comeback from a
8-1 deficit in the second period at 9:48 and his second at 9:59
of the third gave the Nordiques a 4-3 lead.

Quebec, 7-5-2, remained the only NHL team, with an
unbeaten record on the road this season — 5-0-1 in six games
including two wins in Hartford.

Alan Haworth, Anton Stastny and Paul Gillis also
scored for the Nordiques to support rookie goaltender Mario
Brunetta who survived a shaky start and finished with 22
saves for his first NHL victory.

Eskimos end season
in winning fashion

OTTAWA (CP) — The Ottawa
Rough Riders were consistent to the
end Saturday, losing 39-21 to the
Edmonton Eskimos for their 15th loss
of the 18game Canadian Football
League season.

The loss before an announced
crowd of 15,107 left the Riders with a
dismal 3-15 won-lost record that
included a 18-game losing streak inter-
rupted last week in Regina by a 12-9
vietory over the Saskatchewan Rough-
riders.

The Eskimos, who struggled
through the first half of the game to
lead only 21-17 on two field goals by
Gerry Kauric in the last minute and 35
seconds, closed out the regular season
with an 11-7 record.

They now play the Calgary Stam-
peders next week in Edmonton in the
sudden-death Western Division semi-

final.

In all Kauric booted three field
goals, a pair of singles and four con-
verts as the Eskimos salted the game
away with a 17-4 third quarter.

The converts came on two touch-
down passes by starting quarterback
Damon Allen to wide receiver Brian
Kelly 8 18 yards and 65 yards — in the
third quarter after a scoring runs of
three yards in the first quarter and one
yard in the second by Milson Jones.

Ottawa kicker Tom Dixon coun-
tered with two field goals and converts
of touchdowns on an 18-yard pass by
Joe Paopao to slotback Rick Wolken-
sperg and a one-yard run by Cedric
Minter, both in the second quarter.
