‘The Professional Amateur in the World of Big-Time Hockey is Plimpton's latest book. Cherry was the only coach who would agree to Plimpton's request to participate as a goaltender in a National Hockey League training camp in ‘77.

He should be thankful he wound up with the Bruins. He could not have found a more colorful coach in Cherry or a more off-the-wall gang as Wayne Cashman, John Wensink. Derek Sankerson, Terry O'Reilly, Bobby Schmautz and company.

Plimpton had written an earlier book, Paper Lion, about his experiences playing with the National Football League's Detrdit Lions.

had been so co-operative with Plimpton during

the training camp that he even started him in an exhibition game against Philadelphia Flyers. “For the first two minutes the Bruins kept the play in the Flyers’ end,” recalls Plimpton. “Perhaps they that a torrid offence was the only hope of staving off an awkward-sounding score.

“They played as if the net behind them were empty, as if their goalie had been pulled in the last minute of a game they had hoped to tie with the use of an extra forward.”

PENALTY SHOT Cherry left Plimpton in for five minutes and the performance included a stop on a penalty shot by Reggie

But Rafael Septien, trying to keep the ball away from Ron Brown on the second- half kickoff, squibbed the ball out of bounds and pulled a musele in the process. Punter Mike Saxon replaced him and Charlie White returned his kick 14 yards to the 45.

On the first play, Dicker- son took a pitchout from quarterback Dieter Brock, started right, then cut back up the middle behind a block from centre Tony Slaton and ran away from the Cowboys secondary.

Kenny Duckett fumbled the ensuing kickoff and Vince Newsome recovered for Los Angeles, setting up a 34-yard field goal by Lansford.

Then, early in the fourth quarter, Dickerson sealed it, skirting right end into the end zone to cap by far his best day of the season. His previous high was 150 yards in the season's third game and his first after a 47-day holdout.

It was the eighth playoff contest between Los Angeles and Dallas since 1973, with series now éven at 4-4,

Ulf Dahlen was the lone Swedish player to play American goaltender Mike Richter, scoring a power play goal at the 18:02 mark of the final period.

After Sweden pressed the Americans through the first five minutes, Carson opened the scoring at the 6:34 mark when he cut in on the right side, drew the puck to his backhand and fired it up over Swedish goaltender Hans Gorag Elo.

OMAN'S LOOK AT BOLIVIA

Editer’s note: This is the conclusion of a two-part column on Castlegar’s Paula Pryce. Pryce is presently in Bolivia as part of a Canada World Youth exchange group. She wrote these letters while in Bolivia.

We spent a week here, having sessions, visiting Tiawanaku — the basis of Amayra and Incan culture.

Yes it’s cold, but also temperate. It can be extremely sunny and freezing, then half hour later sunny and frying. In any case, the sun is always strong and damaging if you don’t wear a hat and sunscreen. The nights, however, are freezing without fail — I fill up my canteen with boilding water at night and use it as a hot water bottle.

On Sunday the 20th the three groups began their travels to the different communities.

We started at 7:45 a.m. and did not reach our destination until 9:30 that night. From La Paz to the city of Oruro, we took a commercial bus by ourselves. I was

surprised at how clean and it was. I exp crowds of dirty, smelly passengers, only one-third of whom would have seats (I was wrong).

Oruro itself is ineredibly different than La Paz. It's new and clean and flat — it also has trees and pretty houses. Here, we ate saltinas and drank warm kool-aid (boiled water). I bathed and brushed my teeth and hair — which felt like absolute luxury — and they had flush toilets.

The road from Oruro to Corque is 96 km (60 miles). The journey took 3 hours. The road was full of craters and rivers. The jeep broke down three times, and people kept getting sick. Finally, we reached, Corque.

Ihave quite enjoyed myself here so far. The first two nights we slept and ate in a group. Yesterday morning I moved to Luciano’s place. The “houses” here are actually composed of a whole bunch of little buildings surrounding’ a courtyard. Apparently, this was derived from the Inean culture. Most buildings are made of mud and straw bricks called adobe, with plaster on the inside walls.

‘Today I had my first experience at manually washing clothes. It’s super hard work and all I can say is, thank goodness this is a trial run and I have my wonderful machines waiting for me at home. It is literally impossible to get one’s clothes clean. To think that most of the world’ lives off dirty water in this way and this is my very first time I've ever drawn water from a well which is really just a hole in the ground about 25 feet deep. You can see things floating in the water down there. You draw water with large empty soya oil can (courtesy “the people of United States of America”) tied to a spirally-cut strip of tiretube (inventive, aren't they).
