Broncos’ owner predicts Denver win

DENVER (AP) — Dan Reeves is no fool.-His gag order prohibiting any brash predictions about the Jan. 28 Super Bow! doesn't apply to his boss.

Broncos owner Pat Bowleh, parently enjoying his team's underdog role against the San Francisco 49ers, introduced some Joe Namath elements into the pre-Super Bowl atmosphere.

Oddsmakers have installed the def- ending Super Bowl champion 49ers as 12-point favorites over the Broncos

“*Take the Broncos and the points,"” Bowlen said Monday at the Broncos’

—rathing complex. ‘*(The oddsmakers)

haven't been right yet. I think it would be an upset if we lose."”

Bowlen, an Edmonton developer, stopped short of guaranteeing victory the way Namath did in 1969, when the quarterback said his New York Jets — 17%4-point underdogs — would upset

Bantams unbeaten on weekend

The Castlegar Bantam Reps shut out Nelson 5-0 and fought Beaver Valley to a 6-6 draw in two home games last

—weekend

Against Beaver Valley at the Com- munity Complex Sunday morning,

_Castlegar’s Mike Hunter opened the scoring at 12:32 of the first period but Beaver Valley popped in two goals on separate powerplays to take the lead.

Once again it was Hunter who deflected a goal in to tie the game 2-2 just before the end of the first

Jeff Evdokimoff put Castlegar ahead at 17:44 of the second and then teammate Chris Cavaghan put Castlegar’s fourth goal in at 3:19 of the second. That goal was answered 30 seconds later by Beaver Valley.

Beaver Valley kept the pressure on in the. tight-checking affair, tying the

game at 13:32 and then jumping ahead at 7:32 of the third

Castlegar caught up at 4:11 of the third with Cavaghan’s second of the

game

With both teams grasping for the win, it looked like Castlegar would be victorious when Neno Da Costa whistled a slapshot from the blue line

high into the right hand corner of the net

However, Beaver Valley tied the game with seven seconds remaining on asimilar play

Picking up assists for Castlegar were Tom Phipps and Da Costa with two each. Ken Skibinski, Fred Gienger and Hunter added one apiece.

Against Nelson, at Pioneer Arena Saturday, all 13 Castlegar players played top-notch hockey proving to Nelson that they weren't going to settle for another tie as in the team’s two previous encounters.

All the goals were scored in the first and second periods with Cavaghan earning a hattrick and Da Costa get ting the other two.

Assists went to Gienger, Da Costa,

PEEWEES9 NELSON6 BEAVER VALLEY 6 PEEWEES 3 The Castlegar Pee Wee Rep team

extended its unbeaten string to seven games with a 9-6 home-ice victory over Nelson Saturday but the string ran out Monday night in Fruitvale as the reps were stopped 6-3 by Beaver Valley

Despite some early powerplay chan- ces for Castlegar Monday, it was the hosts who struck for the game's first goal at 9:19 of the opening period

With goalie Scott Rideout shutting down Castlegar's offence, the valley boys took a 2-0 lead at 7:57 of the se¢ond period

Gary Hunter put Castlegar on the scoreboard at 13:44 with help from Shawn Mosby and Pat Biln and then Hunter and Mosby combined to set up Biln for the tying goal at 14:18

For one brief moment in the third period Castlegar grabbed the lead as Mosby scored unassisted at 5:55

The fead was short-lived as the Beavers — as their fans call them — scored less than a minute later to tie the game at three and then pumped in another trio, including an empty-net marker, to cement the victory,

As is often the case when these two teams meet, penalties were frequent with Castlegar taking 14 minutes and Beaver Valley 25

A third-period lead of six is usually considered a safe margin but against Nelson on Saturday it proved just barely adequate

The game was close through the first 20 minutes as Nelson opened the scoring on a powerplay at 3:54 Castlegar’s Darren Pottle with assists from Mark Carlson and Mosby tied the score at 1-1 at 8:07

Play was even, if somewhat ragged, in the'middle frame until Hunter gave Castlegar a 2-1 lead on a super in dividual effort at 7:22

Rick Fauth and Philip Laporte combined to set up Hunter for his second goal at 12:37 and suddenly the floodgates opened

Castlegar’s Biln and Pottle set up Mosby for a breakaway marker anda 4-1 lead at 14:53. Laporte scored from Hunter and Fauth a minute later and Derek Read's rebound was slipped across the goal-line by Pottle as ‘Castlegar went into the final period with acomfortable 6-1 lead

Defenceman Mark Perrier, with assists from Read and Laporte, stret ched the margin to six goals at 49 seconds of the third period

Bowlen also offered his assessment of the 49ers,

“Those guys have got a great owner,’ he said. ‘‘They’ve got God for a quarterback. They've got @ Chinaman who plays Wide receiver whose feet never touch the ground.”’

Asked what he meant, Bowlen said, “That Chinese guy. What's his name? Rice?

BIG WINNERS . Rossland Mini-Skate for the fl Back L to R: Chelsea Van Vliet,

The Castlegar Figure Skating Club made it three in a row with 4 win at the Rossland mini-skate competition last weekend

The Castlegar team collected 18 points to edge out Grand Forks by one point and+take the title-for the third straight year.

Laura Kosowan skated toa first- place finish in the preliminary ladies (13-years-old and over) event while the Castlegar trio of Lisa Datchkoff, Selena Fodor and Karen Skibinski swept the preliminary ladies (11- arid 12-

Broncos spokesman Jim Sac- comano said Bowlen ‘was just speaking facetiously’’ ‘about Rice. “He said he was simply making a play on words. He added that certainly at no point did he mean anything ethnic orracial.

“*He was trying to be funny.’’

Reeves, the Broncos’ head coach, cautioned his players Monday against making any Namath-like guarantees,

Meghan Van Vliet snagged a second in the 10-years-old and un- der category while Castlegar teammate Jennifer Datchkoff was right behind in third

In the pre-preliminary 11 years and older category, Nicole Hackett picked up a second in Group A while Rachel Friedrich came through in first inGroup B.

saying anyone Who does ‘better do it silently."’

Told of Bowlen's remarks, Reeves said, ‘He can say anything he wants. He’s still celebrating. He and (49ers owner) Eddie (DeBartolo) don't play. They can say anything they want.”

Bowlen also said he had little doubt that running back Bobby Humphrey would play in the Super Bowl. Hum- phrey, the Broncos’ leading rusher this season with 1,151 yards, suffered two cracked ribs in the AFC title game against the Cleveland Browns. The

wroncos intend to rest Humphrey this week and hope that, with a special pad to protect the injury, he'll be able to play.

Like Bowlen, Bronco players said they weren’t concerned about the bet- ting line. At the start of the playoffs, the 49ers were projected as 6'2-7-point favorites over the Broncos if the two teams met in the Super Bowl. After San Francisco crushed the Minnesota Vikings and the Los Angeles Rams bya combined scéfe of 71-16 in the playof- fs, the line went to double figures.

Hi Arrow 3-0 in January

By CasNews Staff

With its tremendous scoring power, Hi Arrow is a team that can blow out its opposition on any given night.

Now, the team is proving it.can win the close games too.

Rod Zavaduk scored an empty-net goal with 24 seconds left to ice a7-5 win over Woodland Park Shell in a Castlegar Recreational Hockey League game at the Community Com- plex Monday night.

If seven seems like a lot of goals, consider that Hi Arrow has popped in a dozen in each of its first two games after the Christmas break.

And with players like Niki Hyson, John Obetkoff and Doug Knowler, who all sit in the top-10, in league scoring Hi Arrow has’one of the.most posént lineups in the league.

But it used to be if you shut those three down, you also shut down Hi Arrow. The balanced attack against Shell indicates the team is getting beyond relying just on the ‘snipers, though they still play a large part in Hi Arrow’s success.

Hi Arrow built a 4-2 lead after the first on goals by Darrell Bojechko. Dean MacKinnon, Warren Weston

and Obetkoff. Bruno Tassone and Rod Fayant replied for Shell.

The teams exchanged goals in the second with MacKinnon getting nis second and Joe Bell answering with his first.

Fayant brought Shell to within one at 15:30 of the third but Obetkoff not- ched his second of the night to restore the two-goal lead just three minutes later

Tassone again got Shell within tying distance, scoring on a feed from Steve Simonen with just over five minutes left in the game.

Pushing for the equalizer, Shell pulled goalie Barry Grunerud in the final minute but the move backfired as Zavaduk scored the insurance marker.

Zavaduk also picked up two assists while Bob Larsh has three for Hi Arrow.

Hi Arrow has now gone 3-0 in January and at 9-11-3, are just a point back of Shell in the race for second place inthe CRHL. Sandman Inn leads the league with 27 points but hasn’t ‘won in two starts in January.

Sandman gets a chance to break the losing streak with a game against Hi Arrow at the Complex 9:30 p.m. Thur- sday

Local rinks lose.

Double knockout is what it’s called and double knockout is what it was for all the Castlegar rinks in the Junior and Senior Women’s District Playdowns at the Castlegar Curling club last weekend

The two local senior rinks skipped by Marg Van Yzerloo and Belle Gray were both beaten in two straight games

to end their hopes early for a berth into the provincial playdowns.

It was the same for the junior rink skipped by Kim Abietkoff which lost to the eventual winning rink skipped by Tara-Lynn Richardson of Nelson and then again to Jill Klapp of Elkford to put any provincial hopes on ice as well

Losses KO Castlegar curlers

By CasNews Staff

Curling is one sport in which a win- ning record at the end of.a tourney doesn’ really mean much

It might mean the team played well but a rink doesn’t go to the playoffs with a 4-2 win-loss record, or even a 110-2 record. Because as long as the losing side of the record is two, in most curling tourneys, that means you're gone.

A pair of Castlegar rinks got the big twos early in the West Kootenay Men's

Zone Championships at the Trail Curling Club last weekend

A third, skipped by Kelly Johnson, hung tough for six games before en- countering a second loss and a trip to the sidelines.

Bill Perehudoff and Denny McAr- thur both lost their first two to make a hasty exist from the draw

When it was all said and done the only rink of 28 entered to make it thrd@pkewigh an umblemished record was Paul Devlin’s of Trail

One of Devlin’s wins came at the ex- pense of Johnson. Johnson's other loss was to Fred Thompson of Nelson who won the Castlegar Realty Cashspiel here earlier this month

Devlin beat Trail Curling Club rival Jim Hill to take the title and now ad- vances to represent Zone | in the B.C Interior tourney which will be held in Trail Jan. 28-Feb.4

The winner of that tourney will be one of four teams from the Interior to gain a berth into the provincial finals

against four coast teams. The other three interior teams will be chosen from the winners of the B.C. Bonspiel in Trail that same weekend. Johnson says he will have a rink at that com- petition.

The winner of the provincials represents B.C. at the Labatts Briar in SaultSt. Marie, Ont. in March.

NOTES: The Trail Curling Club is looking for volunteers in various capacities for the Interiors. Those in- terested can call Ken Fine in Trail

Hilton loses last c

Shortly after the roars had subsided in the venerable Montreal Forum on that glorious early-summer day in 1987, a veteran boxing writer from the United States was asked about Mat thew Hilton, the newly crowned In- ternational Boxing Federation junior middleweight champion.

“*He’s going to win them all,’’. the seasoned observer predicted. ‘He's too strong.

“He'll take the middleweight title, too, if he wants it.””

Hilton, a Montreal native, wanted it badly that day, battering the body of an aging but ring-marked opponent named Buster Drayton to become the first native Canadian to win a world

They’had played a stirring number on the bagpipes as Hilton entered the ring that day. But Monday night, amid the jangle of the Atlantic City slot machines, the only music to Hilton's ears was the kind played at a requiem for a middleweight.

Lewis takes another shot at Johnson

WASHINGTON (AP) — Canadian track star Ben Johnson supplemented his steroid use with an unspecified am- phetamine before competing in the 100-metre race at the Seoul Olympics, says American sprinter Carl Lewis, who was handed the Olympic gold af- ter Johnson was disqualified

Lewis made the allegation during an interview with Washington Post repor- ters and editors.

“Everybody talked about it and knew it,’’ Lewis is quoted as saying. “Five weeks earlier in Zurich, he had

the same lead over me in Seoul and he lost it

“*Five weeks later, he has the same lead and doesn’t lose an inch.’”

Johnson defeated Lewis in their meeting at the 1988 Olympics with a time of 9.79 seconds. But he was discovered to have been using anabolic steroids in the weeks prior to the race and was stripped of his gold medal Lewis, who finished second with a time of 9.92 seconds, was declared the win- ner
