Track
trials
May 27

Zone representative Roger Toogood
has released the details for the
Kootenay Zone Trials for the Track
and Field competetion of the 1989
B.C. Summer Games :

On Saturday, May 27, at noon
athletes from Grand Forks in the west,
to Golden in the north, and to the
B.C./Alberta border to the east will be
trying to qualify for one of the 36
positions on the Zone | team, The
trials will be held at East Kootenay
Community College in Cranbrook.
This coltege was the site of the 1968
B.C. Summer Games and the $500,000
track and field facilities are perfect for
the trails, Toogood said.

This year, athletes born in 1974 and
1975 will compete in track events from
100 metres to 3,000 metres plus various
hurdles and relay events, The usual
jumping and. throwing events round
out the field part of the meet

Of particular interest are the two
Ynulti-events. The boys may choose to
enter the octathon, a series of four
track and four field events held over
two days. Competition for this event
starts on Friday, May 26 at 6 p.m. and
concludes on May 27 with four more
events

May 27 only. Both these events test the
athletes’ strengih at short- and middle
distance running along with jumping
and throwing field-events. Athletes
concerned with particular events, en
try procedures, and schedule should
contact their high school track coach

This year’s boys’ team will be en
tirely new. None of tast year’s 17 boys
will be returning. No doubt this should
encourage the boys to get out and train
regularly, Toogood said. Aboui half
of last year’s girls’ team is eligible to
return, but they should be hard pressed
to retain their place on the 1989 team,
he said

This year’s Games are set for Surrey
on July 19-23. Successful athletes will
be provided with travel to and from
Surrey, meals and accommodation, a
sport bag, and a B.C. Games jacket at
no cost. The rewards for the successful
athletes are well worth the effort
required, Toogood said.

Rockets eliminated
from NBA playoffs

By The Canadian Press
Seattle SuperSonics’ Derrick MeKey
compressed all+of his playoff
frustrations into one magic second
Friday night

McKey’s leaning layup at the buzzer
ended a dramatic Houston Rocket
comeback and gave the SuperSoncis a
98-96 victory that. eliminated the
Rockets from the NBA playoffs.

“We wanted a back screen for
Derrick, and Dale (Ellis) was supposed
to set it,”” Seattle coach Bernie Bicker
staff said

“Whether he did or not I still don't
know.”

With one second left, Seattle’s Nate

to McKey over Houston's 7-foot-5

McKey, who had. been a playoff
disappointment in the first three
games, sent the Soncis on to the second
round against the defending NBA
champion Los Angeles Lakers. That
series starts Sunday at Inglewood,
Calif

In other games, it was Cleveland
Cavaliers 108, Chicago Bulls 105 in
vertime and Atlanta Hawks 113,
Milwaukee Bucks 106: Each series is
now tied at 2-2

“Lknew I didn’t have time to bring it
down and go back up so I made.up my
mind to shoot it when I got it," McKey
said.

They executed the play the way you
draw it on the board,” Houston's
Sleepy Floyd said

Trailing. 92-83 with 6:25 left,
Houston outscored Seattle 13-4, tying

Pressure

drops as

Canadiens advance

PHILDELPHIA (CP) — For Mats Naslund, the
pressure drops as his Montreal Canadiens advance toward
the Stanley Cup final, .

“It's a different kind of pressure now," Nashund said
after a light practice on Saturday in preparation for
tonight's fourth game of the Wales Conference final again
st the Philadelphia Flyers.

“In the first two rounds, if we had lost, everyone
would have said we had a bad season. Heads would roll.
People would be traded.

**Now we've shown we’ re one of the four best teams so
it doesn’t matter so much if we lose. The pressure is dif
ferent in that we can relax a bit now."*

Strange words that need context. Naslund has been
asked how the Canadiens had come up with two superb per-
formances to take a 2-1 lead in the series after dropping the
‘opener 3-1 in Montreal.

The Canadiens have allowed only one goal in the last
two games, dominating the injury-riddied Flyers defen
sively and scoring just enough goals with an opportunistic
attack

**We've been pretty sharp,’’ said Naslund. ‘*We've
been capitalizing on our chances.and we've had a fluidity
that we didn’t have in the first two series."’

The Canadiens beat Hartford four straight and
Boston in five games with unsteady play. Then the Flyers
overwhelmed Montreal with forechecking in Game |

Montreal responded with a 3-0 win in Montreal and a
5-F victory Friday in Philadelphia.

The Flyers, hyrting dnd fatigued after touglf games
against Washington and Pittsburgh, will play their last card
tonight — goaltender Ron Hextall.

Hextall sprained his right knee in Game 6 against Pit-
tsburgh and, while Ken Wregget has filled in adequately,
Hextall is more than a good goalie. He’s the Flyers’
emotional leader whose puck handling ability will change
the game.

“We just have to keep doing what we "ve been doing,
no matter who’s in net,"’ said defenceman Chris Chelios,
voicing a common sentiment among Montreal players.

But the Canadiens know Hextall picks up the Flyers,
who will be fired up tonight

“1 only know what I read in the papers, but I under
stand he’s so good in the room,” said Naslund. **That will
make the bigger difference.

“We know they're going to come out the next game
looking for that first goa. It seems so important in this
series."’

“It’s certain that with Hextall they will start like they
* said goaltender Patrick Roy, who will
“I don’t think the

did the last gam
almost certainly be Hextall’s opponent
Flyers are goingtoletup.”"

Philadelphia, boosted by a home crowd, threw
everything at Montreal in the first 14 minutes on Friday,
but the Canadiens’ defence allowed few good chances and
Guy Carbonneau scored at 14:56 of the first period

Coach Pat Burns said the Canadiens should be wary
the Flyers are a dangerous team.

Esks coac

By JOHN KOROBANIK
The Canadian Press

Papa Joe was smiling. Not a huge, not-a-care-in
the-world type of smile. But a warm, comfortable grin
suggesting a man content with the knowledge that his
future looked bright and promising.

Papa Joe — as Edmonton Eskimo head coach Joe
Faragalli is affectionately known — was smiling as he
thought about the situation he faced this spring com-
pared to the one he was looking at one year earlier

The Eskimos headed into last season having lost —
through retirement, trades and free agency — quarter-
back Matt Dunigan, wide receiver Brian Kelly, corner
back Stanley. Blair, offensive lineman Leo Blanchard
and the entire defensive line of John Mandarich,
Stewart Hill, James Zachery and Tom Tuinei

That's eight starters.

“Now, I look at it this year and we have an abun-
‘dance of talent that | think will really make us an out-
standing defensive team,” Faragalli said. ‘'So I feel alot
more comfortable in that position.””

This year the Eskimos’ defence has the potential to
be the. best in the CFL, thanks to the return, in mid-
season of Mandarich and Hill from ill-fated ventures in-
to NFL territory, Blair from a contract hassle and the
addition of linebackers Jeff Braswell and Greg Stumon
(who can also play defensive end) and cornerback An-
dre Francis from the B.C. Lions to complete the
Dunigan trade

Offensively the Eskimos have lost receivers Henry

e | *
Williams and Jim Sandusky — both bidding for NFL
spots — and quarterback Damon Allen, a free agent
who went to Ottawa:

“But we have some good receivers coming in, guys
who can play in the league and young guys to
challenge,”’ says Faragalli

The Eskimos never did settle last year’s offensive
line problems, finally being forced to bring veteran Bill
Stevenson out of retirement for the playoffs

“Now,” says Faragalli with a whimsical smile, ‘I
look at the offensive line this year and we've not only
improved but we’ ve got younger.””

Veteran Blake Dermott and off-injured rookie
Dave Richardson were two of the keys to the line that
will see further changes this summer. For the moment,
however, the line “‘right now is better than it was last
year.

So, with the defence settled and solid, the offensive
line in good shape, and the receiving corps looking
good, that leaves only the quarterback

Twelve months ago, the Eskimos had the two best
quarterbacks in the league in Dunigan and Allen. Now
they have young Tracy Ham, veteran Rick Worman
from Calgary and rookies Steve Taylor from Nebraska
and Warren Jones from hawaii

“We'll fit the offence for the quarterback we're
going to use," said Faragalli who became a grandfather
for the fifth time on Wednesday. ‘*Our offence is so div
ersified that we'll take out what is good for each guy,
Bivé them the opportunity to be successful.”

Was special. It included the center of town as you
describe it — but it also included the dusty side-streets,
the narrow paths and short-cuts through back alleys and
forests, the ‘hazlenut, huckleberry and- saskatoon
bushes;:the waterways and surrounding mountains, the
sense of security and permanence embodied in the small
businesses and in the comfortable familiarity with all
who lived there

My early school experience was a potpourri of tem
porary quarters and make-do equipment. At various
times, my classrooms were on the stage of the Kinnaird
Community Hall, in the Doukhobor Hall on Main
