SPORTS CBC misses Cup VANCOUVER (CP) — The 1986 Grey Cup game will be broadcast over a network of more than 80 private radio stations affiliated with the nine Canadian Football League teams, CFL commis- sioner Doug Mitchell an- nounced Friday. It will be the first time in 52 years the CFL champion- ship game has not been broadcast by CBC Radio. Participating stations will receive a network production from the Grey Cup 86 Radio Network on Nov. 30 from B.C. Place Stadium. “The CFL is appreciative of the rich tradition which CBC Radio and the league have shared,” Mitchell said in a statement, “but the en. couraging response we re- ceived from the advertising community and our club rightsholders have motivated our decision to manage the package ourselves.” The program will originate with radio station CFUN in Vancouver. The production will have three broadcasters in the play-by-play booth and two sideline reporters.

The Associated Press in a story in July said Nelson, Canada’s sixth-ranked heavy Gamble pays off By MIKE RUTSEY TORONTO (CP) — Three years ago, the Toronto Maple The Leafs’ gamble was not so much in selecting defence- man A| Iafrate as their first pick (and the fourth overall) in the 19864 National Hockey League entry draft, but at what level to play the tal- ented, yet raw-skilled 18 year-old rookie. The year before his first NHL training camp, Iafrate had been a star in Detroit with the Compuware Mid- gets. Before his selection in the draft, he had spent a frustrating season with the U.S. Olympic team. “He was a midget hockey player when he came here three years ago,” said Tor- onto coach John Brophy who, when Iafrate was picked, was spot with the parent club, or give him a year of seasoning in the minors and bring him up the they played me the right amount.” As an 18-year-old defence man, Iafrate made more than his share of blunders. But the a struggling, dispirit ed team that year, stuck with him. “Iafrate always had the talent,” said Brophy, whose club has responded to his demand for disciplined, close But in singing Iafrate, they hedged their bets, at least during the 1984-85 season. “It (the NHL) was a lot more than I expected,” Ia frate recalled after a recent workout. “I was surprised at the pace, the strength of the players, the quickness. I wasn't ready to play a lot and I didn't. If I had played a lot the first year, I think I would have been a disaster. But hecking hockey with a 6-2-3 Norris Division-leading record entering tonight's game against St. Louis. “He had to stay and learn in the NHL and for two years he suffered. But the team stuck with him because they knew it was good for the future of the club. You're seeing that now.” What the Leafs now have in Iafrate is a young rear guard on the verge of be: coming a major force both on his team and in the league. He has matured on and off the ice and although he’s still a wide-eyed, all-American kid, he’s no longer the goofy 18-year-old who once fell asleep at the wheel of his car and shot off the road or was caught with friends throwing rocks at street lights, And he's not the unhappy athlete who turned up for his train- ing camp last year severely overweight. This last summer cooled him out, especially his mar- riage to his high school sweetheart. “You can see he has a lot more confidence and poise on the ice,” said Brophy. “He knows he can play in this league.” Iafrate knows he has a long way to go before he can replace Borge Salming as the kingpin on the Leafs’ de- fence. But that is the role Brophy and the Leafs expect him to fill someday. Campuses avoid alcohol WATERLOO, Ont. (CP) — Suds and sports may soon Labatt's sponsorship has primarily involved donat- be history on Ontario campuses. Concerned about student drinking habits, univer sities are turning down thousands of dollars in brewery sponsorship of athletic events. “There's a big concern at universities in general about over-indulgence in drinking,” says Ri New brough, athletics director for Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo. “While this new action probably won't have a great effect on that, at least we won't appear hypo- critical Late this summer, the Council of Ontario Univers ities, made up of the presidents of the province's 15 universities, asked its members to review their policies relating to brewery sponsorship of athletics. The request was prompted by concern about “using athletic heroes to promote the cause of alcohol,” said George Pedersen, president of the University of Western Ontario in London and chairman of the council's inter-university athletics commission. For Ontario's financially strapped universities, the traditional brewery sponsorship of sporting events has provided welcome support in the past. Although that support generally didn't come in the form of cash to the athletic departments, sponsorship did reduce expenses. The big marketer on Ontario campuses has been the Labatt Brewing Co. Ltd., but its profile has been low key. ing prizes and trophies, printing posters, buying large ads in team brochures and programs, occasionally picking up some of the bar costs at awards banquets and sponsoring radio or TV broadcasts. In return, the company name received exposure on campus. EASES OUT But during the last two years, Labatt itself has been easing out of athletic sponsorships. “Our total budget two years ago (for campus sports promotions) was in the $50,000 to $75,000 range; now it's down substantially, perhaps half that amount,” said Bob Kemble, marketing and promotional manager for Labatt's Ontario division. Instead, the company has turned its attention to the entertainment area and now sponsors a campus tour by a blues band. University of Guelph athletic director David Copp figures the annual brewery support “could be around $10,000." At the University of Waterloo, athletic director Carl Totzke said support ranged from “maybe $8,000 to $15,000." Wilfrid Laurier and Guelph hope to phase out all sponsorship by breweries during the next two years. But the University of Waterleo is little: more hesi- tant. “It's pretty hard to divest yourself of financial support in times of critical need,” Totzke said. Sponsors change name By HAL BOCK NEW YORK (AP) — The name of the game used to be so simple: Sun Bowl, Holiday Bowl, Gator Bowl, Fiesta Bowl Now its a name game: the John Hancock Sun Bowl, the Sea World Holiday Bow! and, soon, the Mazda Gator Bowl Even the Sugar Bowl, one of the original four New Year's Day university foot ball games in the United States, has a new name — the USFG Sugar Bowl With television money dwindling, corporate cash has arrived to bail out sports, but the rescue has a price and it's right up front in the name. The Sugar Bowl, which has produced six of the last 13 national champions, is the first of the majors to agree to share its marquee with a business partner AWAITS DECISION Whether ABC, which tele vises the Sugar Bowl, will accept the new name is un certain. It is one of the items included in current negoti tions on a contract to replace the expiring six-year, $4.5 million deal between the net. work and the bowl Last year, faced with a similar dilemma at the Sun kist-Fiesta Bowl, NBC balked at including the corporate title. “It was our feeling that we didn’t want to go to a name for a New Year's Day bowl game that might impinge on the value of the game,” Ken Schanzer, NBC's executive vice-president for sports, said. “We hoped at the time, by our leadership, that we could stop the movement.” They could not Sunkist paid the Fiesta Bow! $500,000 the first year, with the contract escalating to $1.5 million four years. “This year, over we are ack nowledging the reality that a number of bowls have corp- orate sponsors,” Schranzer said. “The economic mar. ketplace made it sensible to append the name.” The advertising link is an important part of the corp- orate picture. By building the TV spots into the spon sorship agreement, the net. work saves sale commissions and can afford to sell the spots for a lower rate, allowing the sponsor to get a bargain as well As well, the infusion of corporate cash allows bigger payouts that can attract top teams.

The old version, as most Canadians have known it since the 1972 series between Canada and the Soviet Union, is out. Designer hockey, as seen by Quebec Nordiques president Marce! Aubut, is haute cuisine, haute culture and haute hockey. It features a two-game series in Quebec City in February between the stars of the National Hockey League and the Soviet Union. Rendez-Vous ‘87, which takes place during Quebec City’s Winter Carnival, is a succession of galas, shows, sports events and festivities lasting for eight days. The NHL is suspending play for five days in favor of “a high-calibre artistic and cultural program, where the Slavic, American and Canadian cultures will be honored,” says a Rendez-Vous ‘87 release. While Aubut won't say how much it will cost, there are reports the price will be $10 million. Money once was the main reason the Soviets played NHL clubs, but Aubut says that's changed, although the Soviets get $40,000 a game. NEEDS SOVIETS “Without having the full program, we weren't going to have the Russians,” Aubut said earlier this week before leaving for Moseow where he's courting Soviet chefs and designers to be part of the festival. “They heard about the meeting of the three cultures, American, USSR and Canada. They said ‘Hey, let's be part of it.’ It's going to be big.” What Aubut has planned is “a special moment, a unique oceasion to share a common appreciation of athletes and artists with our southern neighbors and our northern neighbors beyond the Arctic Circle.” Designer Pierre Cardin has been hired to recreate the atmosphere of a famous French restaurant, Maxim's, for the Rendez-Vous ‘87 brunch. He'll be in charge of designing the eating area, organizing floral arrangements and adding such decorative touches as china and cutlery. Then there's the businessmen’s lunch, where 1,500 private sector leaders from across North America have been invited to listen to a speech by Lee Iaccoca, chairman of Chrysler Corp. FEATURES FASHION There's also a fashion show featuring the latest in designs from Canada, the United States and the Soviet Union, which could be outdone by the eight-course feast prepared by culinary teams from the three countries. The play-by-play won't be limited to hockey games. There will be “full commentary as the dinner is prepared and the final preparation for each plate will be shown on a giant screen for the benefit of all participants.” If you're bored with it, Aubut has arranged for the Hockey Hall of Fame of Quebec City for the event. What about the games? Aubut hasn't said much about the two-game series except that the games will be played Feb. 11 and 13. Fans in North America will vote on the starting lineup. The coach and general manager will be selected by a committee representing the interests of the league owners and players. The coach and general manager will select the rest of the team. DISLIKES FORMAT Wayne Gretzky is against the two-game series and would rather meet the Soviets in another home-and-home series like the dramatic 1972 event “I don't know if you can say it's something that is missing from my life, but I would love the opportunity to play eight games against them like the team in 1972 had,” Gretzky said recently “If we did it, we'd do it full force, not with the Oilers, a bet with a national team.” Gretzky is looking forward to the February series but he warns that Canadians shouldn't expect too much “No matter how good we are as individuals, we need time together as a team,” he says. “I want to prepare people for what will happen “The way it is set up, I don't think we can win.” Soccer violence keeps spreading LONDON (AP — Soccer And English Football League neve Castle News _o» PLEASE VOTE ON NOV. 15 Dependable Sy Local siness Serves the Community ELECT Lawrence Chernoff for Alderman Golf Course near Winlaw — Costews Photo At Diet Center You Have Nothing to Lose but Weight! owner of Diet Conar ‘Naney Soil new t Con od you reach your weight goal! ead Kurtenbach is back RICHMOND, B.C.
