Apparently that’s where the B.C. Lions will be looking Saturday when the CFL player draft is held in Hamilton. The rebuilding Lions are expected to choose a huge offensive lineman with their top pick in the annual selec- tion of eligible college and university players. The Lions have the second pick of the first réund — the good football players that are available.’’ KAPP QUIET Kapp refused to name the top prospects, but head coach Larry Kuharich of the Lions did mention 290- pound guard Ian Beckles of the University of Indi the draft is for Ci or port players — finishing last in the Western Division in 1989 with a 7-11 record. The Edmonton Eskimos hold the first pick, acquired from Ottawa (4-14) in a trade that_sent running back Chris Skinner to the Roygh Riders last season. President-general arn Joe Kapp of the Lions has indicated that B.C. m bypass highly rated running back Sean Millington of nearby Simon Fraser University in favor of beefing up the blocking. “t's a luxury to take a running back when the need for linemen is so great," Kapp said. ‘‘We’re excited about 305-pound Mue Elewonibi of Brigham Young University. Elewonibi, a Nigerian who has lived in Victoria and Kamloops, won the Outland Trophy as the top college lineman in the United States last year. Beckles, co-captain at Indiana, is one of 12 top Prospects the CFL will bring to Hamilton for draft day. “There are some variables that have to be con- sidered,’’ Kuharich said. ‘You want to know if the player is going to be there at the beginning of training camp or go to the NFL first,”” The Lions have had problems getting their top picks quickly to the CFL. Offensive tackle Larry Clarkson, taken in 1987 as a future, went to the San Francisco 49ers camp in 1988 before reporting to B.C. midway through the schedule. Defensive lineman Derek MacCready, picked in the first round in 1989, tried out with the Detroit Lions of the NFL. MacCready eventually was released and reported to B.C. SET NEW MARKS Kuharich admitted Millington is a strong candidate to be taken early in the draft. The 222-pounder broke several rushing records at SFU held by Orville Lee, Ot- tawa’s first pick in the 1988 draft. “The offensive line is very strong this year,’’ said Kuharich. ‘‘There are maybe a half-dozen players who Hi Arrow earns some room could have long careers in the CFL."” Kapp said the Lions do not plan to deal with Edmon- ton to improve their draft position in the first round. Elewonibi might not be taken early because he’s being projected asa high pick in the NFL draft in April. Other linemen rated highly by CFL scouts are 274- pound Chris Gioskos of the University of Ottawa, 274- pound Bob MacDonald of McMaster University and defensive tackle Mike Philbrick, a 271!-pounder from Carleton University. “This is the best year for the draft since | came to the league in 1986,'’ Kuharich said. Also considered top prospects are: running back Keith Kelly, Bishop’s; running back Gerry Ifill, McGill; linebacker Mark Singer, Alberta; linebacker Mark Den- nis, Central Michigan; receiving brothers Bruce and Alan Boyko, Western Michigan; linebacker Lance Trumble, McMaster; receiver Jock Climie, Queen’s; defensive lineman Glen Scrivener, William Jewell College, Mo.; and receiver Richard Nurse, Canisius College, N.Y. To even the most devoted exerciser, falling asleep in front of a crackling fire during the winter may sometimes seem more appealing than getting up the energy for a strenuous workout. The cold weather isn’t necessarily the cause of this ho-hum attitude toward exercising, says Toronto nutritionist Rosie Schwartz. Instead, blame a hormone called melatonin. Melatonin, which exists in higher levels in the body when there is less daylight, seems to trigger the onset of ‘hibernation tendencies,"’ such as slowed ac- tivity and weight gain, Schwartz said in an interview During the winter months, with shorter days and less light, a person's metabolism (the rate at which the body burns calories) slows down. Although we don't hibernate, our bodies prepare us for it."” Schwartz, 39, whose work includes studying the relationship between diet and exercise, is author of The Enlightened Eater: A Guide to Well-Being Through Nutrition FAT RATS A 1986 study found that fats and squirrels exhibited an increase in their fat stores and a decrease in their metabolic rates when given extra melatonin, the animals’ bodies that they needed to store and con- serve energy for the winter, Scientists have recently discovered that humans react to melatonin levels the same way, Schwartz said. And the higher the level of melatonin, the slower the metabolic rate. “‘We may feel less energetic and our moods may change. Experiencing depression during dull, bad- weather days is not uncommon. “And an increase in melatonin seems to promote an increase in fat deposits, so some people want to eat more, and coupled with a slower metabolism they gain weight.”” As the number of daylight hours increases in the warmer months and people become more active, the body produces more beta-endorphins — homrones linked to a rush of energy known as ‘‘runner’s high,”’ Schwartz said. Regular exercise in the winter is important in in- creasing the body's beta-endorphin levels and over- coming feelings of laziness and depression resulting from lack of light, she said. “Recognizing you're not alone in experiencing those feelings . . . plays a large role in overcoming that says girl can't play with boys r VANCOUVER (CP) — A Van- couver school board committee says Anne Marie Lookman can’t play rugby with the boys. “That makes me angry," the 15- year-old said. ‘‘There are lots of guys on the team smaller than me.”” Lookman played one season with the boys’ team at David Thompson secondary school before being sidelined in November. Now the school board’s student services committee has upheld the ban on mixed rugby teams. This méans Lookman’s challenge of the rule will be rejected by the board, said trustee Ken Denike. ‘The board is not going to interfere on this * Dual filter: * Rust-proot aluminum parts $59999* LOWEST PRICE EVER! !

Sunday’s outcome was in doubt until the final minutes of the third period. Trail opened the scoring at 1:35 of the first period arid took a 2-0 lead 30 seconds later. Castlegar’s Craig Swanson took a pass from Rick Fauth at 2:23 and blasted a 30-foot slap shot by a sur- prised Trail goaltender.

Although the temperature was quite frosty, the Jackrabbits had a fun morning cross-country skiing and playing games in the bright sunshine. Following the morning activities, the Jackrabbits enjoyed a lunch of hot dogs, juice and hot chocolate. The Jackrabbits also received the badges they had earned over the past eight lessons. A total of 29 technique badges were awarded and 23 ire troupe of the Nordic Ski Club's Jacrabbits gathered at Nancy Green Lake Provincial Park for a season ending party last weekend.

Melanie Streich, Ben Cram, Amy Brattebo and Brian Preston ear- ned touring badges by completing at least one cross-country ski tour of over 20 kilometres in length. Although Jackrabbit lessons are over for this year, the skiing has never been better. Many Jackrabbits will still be working towards their distance badges which will be awarded at the end of the winter ski season.

The Vancouver Secondary Athletic Association ban protects girls’ access to competitive sports, he said. “‘If they were fully integrated, many girls “would not be able to compete (for positions on the teams).”’ Gary Haensger, president of the volunteer association of teachers which runs inter-school athletics, said safety was a concern in drawing up the regulation. “We are talking about a really rough sport,”’ he said. Haensgen said the group would consider setting up a girls’ rugby league. The board's position flies in the face of an Ontario court ruling in favor of a young girl who wanted to play on a boys’ hockey team. Ringette on verge of major status By MARTIN CLEARY ‘Ottawa Citizen OTTAWA (CP) — Today, the world. Tomorrow, the Olymipe Games. The once for-girls-only sport of tingette is on the threshold of blooming into a major winter sport. Invented 27 years ago as a team sport for girls, ringette has paid its dues and is maturing on both the national and internatinoal scenes. The 1960s and 1970s were the bulding years as the rules were in- troduced and refined, seven provinces recognized the sport, the first national championship was held in Winnipeg and a Canadian team travelled to Finland. The 1980s were the wonder years as full-time administrators were hired, major sponsors were secured, club teams introduced the sport into six countries, the International Ringette Federation was formed and national registration climbed to more than 28,000 in 1989 from about 6,000 in 1980. The 1990s are expected ‘to be the years of maturation The inaugural world ringette championships, albeit an event with less international flavor than organizers had hoped, ran through Feb. 3 in Ottawa In 1991, ringette will be welcomed into the Canada Winter Games, after extensive lobbying since 1975. In the next five years, boys and men’s ringette is expected to develop. “It’s growing,” said Ringette Canada président Barbara Welke. “When I travel now, people don’t say, ‘What’s a ringette?’ ‘The non-ringette people are familiar with it and know that it’s a game played on ice. It takes time for a sport to mature.”” “*We've certainly reached the point of maturity in Canada and we're just starting internationally,’’ said Bett: Shields, president of the International Ringette Federation “If other countries were ready, we'd have a national team.”” The first world championship had only have national teams from Finland and the United States, provincial teams from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Quebec, an Ontario club team from Etobicoke and the Ottawa-area host team. <= Four other countries — New Zealand, Sweden, France and the Soviet Union — had their quest to en- ter the world championships dashed by financial problems. “The international federation must concentrate on getting more countries {involved),’’ Shields said. “It’s a realistic chance,"’ Shields said. ‘‘We're trying to get into the Olympics, but that’s seven to 10 years away before we get to the demon- stration level.
