Off the ice, he'll settle for a fast pacer. Although his offensive output has sagged slightly this season without linemate.Al Secord, the flashy 23-year-old Verdun, Que., resident still is one of the most electrifying performers in the National Hockey League. He also gets a charge out of horse racing when he isn't bolting around NHL rinks. “Te been going to the races since I was 15 or 16 years old,” said Savard. “I enjoyed it so much that I got involved. “I met a guy by the name of Pierre Touchette, who I heard was one of the best trainers in the world. We bought a horse along with another friend last summer.” The horse, L'Ami-Star, is a five-year-old pacer stabled at the Blue Bonnets track in Montreal. Savard contributed $10,000 of the $24,000 purchase price and immediately saw dividends with L’Ami-Star winning nine races last summer. in December 1981, was never in trouble against the Amer- ican.

Women should play the men NEW YORK (AP) — Com- peting against men could help women athletes perform to their full capacity, says tennis veteran Billie Jean King.

The 28 invited candidates for the Olympic team are preparing for matches next month against Costa Rica and Cuba. Two of the three teams will earn ggberth in the Summer pics at Los Angeles. The ard, seven of whose players are potential Olympic team members, are getting ready for the North American Soccer League sea- son. One of the Olympic pros- pects is striker Branko Seg- ota, one of two players drop- pre-Olympic elemination ser- ies with Mexico. The other was goaltender Tino Lettieri, replaced in the successful Mexico series by Chris Turner. “He's still very much on trial,” says Waiters of Seg- ota. Of Lettieri, he said: “I question whether he's prepared to sit on the bench. The position he’s taken so far would indicate he is not and, at the end of the series against Mexico in December, Turner claimed the title of Canada’s number one goalie, including Lettieri.” The Olympic team must be reduced to 20 players by March 20. Canada plays its first game in Costa Rica on April 1. Cuba plays in Victoria on Right now, Savard is involved with hockey, trying to make sure the Black Hawks avoid the disgrace of missing the Stanley Cup playoffs. By most standards, his statistics would be impressive. But lately,he’s beenstruggling, along with his teammates. PLAY DIFFERENT “I know that I have to play differently without Al,” Savard says of Secord. “Al can bounce a lot of people around. “He can make a lot of openings for me and himself. I was always looking for him. I knew he was open ail the time be cause nobody wants to get near him. “Now, whoever I'm playing with is being checked more closely. I'm not making the same plays I did last year.” Whenever the 1983-84 season ends, Savard can look forward to seeing L’Ami-Star in better shape than Secord, who may soon try to come back from a mysterious abdominal muscle pull which has restricted the six-foot-one, 207-pound forward to just nine games this year. “T've given him a rest this winter,” Touchette said of L'Ami-Star. “It’s Denis’s hobby and he'll be able to watch him race this summer.” In the meanwhile, Savard gets a quick racing fix at one of the four Chicago-area tracks. “I try not to go too often,” he says. “Maybe just six or seven times a year. Although he says he’s cautious about his involvement in racing, Savard is considering buying a new colt this fall. Touchette jokes that Savard’s interest in racing may stem from his name, not his style of play. “I work with two Savards,” says Touchette. “Both are in hockey and both are number 18. “I have Serge Savard's (Montreal Canadiens’ general manager and former defenceman) stock, too.” Tennis clinic to be held in Trail a former graduate of Eastern Washington University where he played four years of competitive tennis. He also holds a Level II national coaching certification. The clinic is designed for junior players of any age or ability. Hours for the clinic are: Saturday, 3:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.; Sunday, 10 a.m. - 1 An indoor tennis clinic will be held this weekend in the fieldhouse in Trail. The clinic will involve sessions on stroke technique, tactics and strategies and conditioning drills, along with a video tape analysis of each players strokes. Instructors for the clinic will be Tom and Barry De- complex. Castlegar diver Gerald York says there is a large number of divers intere- sted in forming a club. “There's probably about 600 divers in the West Kootenays,” he notes. York says the steering. committee will look to in- terested divers for sugges- tions for events. One plan is to have fam- look for antiques, such as remnants of old steam- boats and locomotives, while others like to explore underwater life. Divers must be certified in order to participate in inderwater events, but says a noh-certified diver can join the club as an honorary member to become part of the social events. ¥ THE High Three: Hal Hesketh, 673.
