et ene me ym HM “'G ' SS, Castlegar News November 13, 1993 SPORTS 1984: VANCOUVER (CP) — The North American Soccer League expired the first week of November. It wheezed back to live only after an 11th-hour massage by NASL commissioner Howard Samuels, perhaps the last savior of professional soccer on the continent. Owner Lee Stern of Chicago Sting said the NASL's erractic heartbeat stopped at 7:30 p.m., EST, Nov. 3, “It was dead,” Stern said in a telephone interview. “Only through the perserverance of Howard Samuels did things work out.” : The crisis began with a decision by Tampa Bay Rowdies’ new owners to pull out of the NASL indoor season which would have left only six teams to kick off the 1983-84 indoor schedule which began Friday. The Surviving Six, huddled around a transcontinen- tal conference call, were ready to give up the ghost. Two other teams — Toronto and Fort Lauderdale — won't participate in the indoor season because of arena problems. WANTED OUT “Tampa Bay told us they had a horrendous scheduling problem and wanted to opt out of playing indoor,” San Diego owner Bill Bell said. “It would have been the last straw as far as our credibility is concerned. “It was a very emotional moment. We've all been through a lot of crises before but some of us were at the point of throwing up our hands and saying ‘Screw it.’ We : NASL'‘s were ready to write the whole thing off. Finally, cooler heads prevailed.” The head of professional soccer has been on the block virtually every year since the game arrived in North America in the 1960s. The NASL has visited just about every major and minor league city in the United States plan to transform Montreal into the home base for Team Canada; calling-it'a marketing disaster which killed the franchise. “It: would'be like putting Team America in Puerto Rico,” said Bell. “It was an insane move.” Especially disheartening was the kick in the teeth last year? of the Major Indoor Soccer League last season, the Sockers filled the San Diego Arena during their playoff run but averaged only 4,300 outdoors. APPROACH DIFFERENT “I think the NASL is evolving into two different been said Bell. “The outdoor-oriented franchises Toronto) have taken the approach that and Canada and been rejected by most. It is but continues on. Montreal Manic recently became the third franchise to fold since the 1983 outdoor season ended in September. Seattle folded, Team America, based in Washi: by dep: @ Manic vice-president Jacques Burrelle. . HAS NO FAITH “I don’t believe in this league,” Burrelle said. “I D.C., disbanded while Tampa Bay, Tulsa and San Diego continue on shaky footing. Fort Lauderdale is in the process of moving to Minneapolis, where the Kicks franchise folded in 1981. BOUGHT TIME A fund-raising drive by a Tulsa radio station hiélpelt’ the Soccer Bowl champion Roughnecks meet a payroll, ° but it merely could be case of buying time before another death-dealing crisis develops. Once with as many ° as 24 teams, the Incredible Shrinking Soccer League is down to nine and counting. J Montreal, which looked to be one of the league's. cornerstones with an average of 23,000 fans a game in’ 1981, averaged only 7,000 last season when Molson’ Breweries, the club's owner, decided to pull the plug. The brewery reported losses of $10 million during three years ith of operation. Most owners publicly have criticized Molson’s for. its” oy stopped bell in it last summer and the quicker it goes down the better.” . Every team is having serious financial problems. Even Wh as the model NASL franchise with a large reservoir of fan support and goodwill, revealed last, month they are $1.5 million in debt. Thomas Werblin, general manager of the New York Cosmos, sums up the general feeling that the 1984 outdoor season will be the NASL’s last if the current situation continues. : Tampa Bay, from a mean of 28,500 fans a game in 1979, averaged just more than 6,000 in the second half of 1988, the Rowdies second losing season in a row. ,, Tulsa, which averted collapse, still has $800,000 in taxlions outstanding to the Taternal Revenue Service and. the, Oklahoma Tax Commission. San Diego is mad about indoor soccer, but the outdoor game isn't a kick in the grass for fans. Champions: . SHSS finishes 14th in province loss to Hillside. Stanley Humphries senior girls field hockey team fin- ished its season with a 14th place finish in the high school provincial field hockey cham- pionship held in Kelowna last weekend. In sectional play the scores were: Hillside (Vancouver) 6 Rockettes 0, Maple Ridge 5 Rockettes 0, Mt. Douglas (Victoria) 2 Rockettes 0. In ion play, the There was no doubt that the coast teams were much more skilled and experi- enced. In spite of the scores the team played with a lot of desire and pride. As a result of their determination, team support and morale, the Rockettes earned the Mar- garet MacLean Sportsman- ship Trophy. This trophy is by the umpires to Rockettes lost 2-0 to Sir Winston Churchill, then de- the team which best conducts outdgor is primary and indoor secondary. They'd rather go under than recognize that situation. “I think both sides have to accommodate each other. Indoor is a hot product and teams such as ourselves will “have to have a successful indoor season if the outdoor league. is to survive.” Bell predicts a merger between the Major Indoor Soccer League and the NASL and the addition of new cities to form a 24-team professional indoor league “within a year”. New York Cosmos and their weighty player contracts are also struggling. Once the NASL linchpin, the Cosmos have seen home crowds shrink to 17,000 from 70,000 and lost about $2 million last season. Toronto Blizzard increased fan support 40 per cent over 1982 but still lost about $1 million. President Clive Toye said times might look bad, but he has seen worse. LOST $10 MILLION For Stern, a,commodities broker who has lost $10 . million trading on a future for professional soccer in the Windy City, the NASL outdoor games has a chance only if costs can be pared to ride out the lean yéars ahead. ‘TODAY'S NEL GAMES Saints shoot for top spot By BRUCE LOWITT The Associated Press New Orleans Saints, a last-place team only two years ago and never a National Football League playoff team in, their 17-year history, shoot for first place today when they visit San Francisco 49ers.

(cP) — Tendinitis in Moose Jaw, Sask., did not stop Kanchan Stott’s effort to be the first woman to run across Canada. Neither did a tornado in Re- gina nor a Doberman pins- cher bite in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. Now the 37-year-old Ot- tawa music teacher is re- covering from a pulled mus- cle she suffered at Steeves Mountain near this south- eastern New Brunswick city. But she doesn’t plan on let- ting that stop her either. “At this point you'd have to be crippled to stop,” she said. She felt her leg muscle snap while she was running alongside the highway Tues- day. Since then she has been staying at a Moncton hotel, preparing for the final leg of a journey she hopes will earn her a spot in the Guinness Book of Records. Stott, who left Victoria on May 6, said her many tribul- VOTE Bob MacBain FOR ALDERMAN ations have put * “het about three weeks behind schedule. The tendinitis in Moose Jaw delayed her for four days and kept her from at- taining her goal of 48 kil- ometres a day. She was de- layéd again in Regina when winds from a nearby tornado threatened to blow away the camper used by Stott and her two-woman crew. She said she learned to be extra care- ful about dogs after the Dobermann gave her a pain- ful bite just outside Sault Ste. Marie. As soon as the run is over, she said,-she will submit her record to be entered in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest distance ever run by.a woman. A strict vegetarian, Stott took a year of unpaid leave from the Ontario school mu- 1 Dolphins at New England Patriots, Cincinnati Bengals at Kansas City Chiefs, Detroit Lions at Houston Oilers, Buffalo Bills at New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys at San Diego Chargers, Denver Broncos at Los Angeles Raiders, Philadelphia Eagles at Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings and Washington Redskins at New York Giants. Monday night, Los Angeles Rams visit Atlanta Falcons. GING TIMES CHAN Only twice in their history have the Saints won as many as seven games — in 1978 when they were 7-9 and in 1979 when they were 8-8, their best record ever. In 1980, though, they crashed to 1-15 and in 1981, team owner John Mecom hired his buddy, Bum Phillips, to be their coach. Now the Saints are 6-4 and are tied with the 49ers and Rams for first \place in the National Conference West. They're coming off an emotional 27-10 victory that dropped Atlanta, the division's other entry, to 4-6. "NO PLACE LIKE HOME Candlestick.Park has been a most unfriendly home for the 49ers of late. Since beating Dallas 28-27 in the NFC title game that preceded. the 1982 Super Bowl game, San Francisco has won only,one of 10 home games. The 49ers have won 18 of the 28 games between the clubs, most recently 32-18 in New Orleans a month ago. The Steelers’ six-game win streak is their longest since a 12-game run during their Super Bow] seasons of 1978-79, when they won their last eight in the first season and the first four the following year. Pittsburgh, 8-2, with the league's No. 1 defence, will be tested by the Colts’ rushing offence, the best in the NFL. Baltimore has won five of the last seven games and, at 6-4, shares second place in the AFC East with Buffalo, one game behind Miami. The Colts have won their six games by a total margin of 21 points, and none of the victories has come against a team with a winning record. The Seahawks, who have won their two games since Dave Krieg replaced Jim Zorn as the starting quarterback, are 6-4 and tied with Denver, one game behind the Raiders, in the AFC West. The Cardinals, who have given up a league-high 314 points and whose rushing defence ranks 20th, will be trying to stop Curt Warner. The Seattle rookie leads AFC rushers with 889 yards, a club record. Cleveland has beaten Tampa Bay in the teams’ only two meetings, but the Browns are sagging while Tampa Bay sic prog the’ run. She ise to finish it before the onset of winter. Because of the delays she will not be able to run across Newfoundland as planned. Instead, she will run to Halifax via Prince Edward Island. She will stop eight kilometres from the finish line, fly to St. John's, Nfld., to run a marathon and then fly back to Halifax to finish the last eight kilometres. “T really feel bad I won't be able to run the length of Newfoundland,” she said, asking: “Are they touchy?” DQ vaults into second spot ended its nine-game skid with its first win of the season last week in Minnesota. Cleveland tight end Ozzie Newsome's 58 receptions lead the NFL and he needs 12 more to pass both Greg Pruitt’s 323 and Gary Collins’ 881 and become the team's all-time career receiver. The Dolphins have. won-four in a row behind rookie quarterback Dan Marino, now the league's passing leader, but New England also is hot, having won three of its last four games this year and six of its last seven against Miami at Foxboro, Mass. The Bengal: bidding for a fourth victory that would put them within a game of .500. They have Ken Anderson back as starting quarterback following three weeks on the sidelines | recovering from a neck injury.

SCORES 38th TD The Lions are ‘coming off last Monday night's 16-9 victory over the Giarits in which Billy Sims scored his $8th career TD, tying Terry Barr's club record. Teammate Dexter Bussey is 21 yards shy of becoming the Lions’ first . 5,000-yard rusher and three carries away from breaking Altie Taylor's club-record 1,165. The Jets who routed the Bills 34-10 at Buffalo last month, have lost four of five games since then. ‘The Cowboys, at 9-1, have the league's best record anda victory over skidding San Diego would give Dallas its best start ever. The Chargers, with quarterback Dan Fouts sidelined with a damaged right shoulder, have lost four in a row and at 3-7 are last in the AFC West.
