In the parent relay,

history, the British Columbia
Lions have had either Norm

Fieldgate retired 19 years

the club record for regular-
season games played when
he puts on the pads for the
224th time as the Lions face
the Calgary Stampeders here
Thursday night.

Wilson currently shares
the record at 223 with Field-
gate who played 14 years

Ron Lancaster holds the CFL
record for games played with

Fieldgate, a member of the

“He deserves all he can

But Wilson — whose nick-

years in the Canadian Foot-

While the 35-year-old
Brock guided his team to an

PGA tourney

VAIL, Colo. (AP) — Craig
Stadler, who hasn't won on
the PGA Tour since 1984,
fired a 4-under-par 68 Tues
day to take a two-stroke
victory in the 10th annual
Gerry Ford Invitational golf
tournament.

Meanwhile, Jim Nelford of
Burnaby, recovering from a
water skiing accident and
attempting a comeback in
professional golf, shot a one
over-par 73 for a 36-hole total
of 152. He won $3,000.

“These were the two best
rounds I've played in a long
time,” Stadler said after he
finished with a 9-under-par
135 to win the $20,000 first

prize.

Stadler, former Masters
champion, played his first
nine holes in even-par 36,
then knocked in four birdies

ahead of Mark O'Meara, and
three ahead of John Cook.
O'Meara won $11,000 and
Cook took home $6,000. The
total prize money was
$230,000.

Jack Nicklaus, who de-
signed the par-72, 7,365-yard
course at the Country Club of
the Rockies, shot a par-72 for
a total of 145, while his son,
Jackie Jr., finished at 150
after rounds of 74 and 76 in
his professional debut.
