Victoria

Cougars

defeat Kamloops

By The Canadian Press

The Western Hockey League doesn't have last year's doormat New West- minster Bruins to kick around anymore, but Victoria Cougars coach Jack Shupe couldn’t resist one more parting shot Tuesday night.

The Cougars had to come from behind to defeat the visiting Kamloops Oilers, the former New Westminster franchise, 4-2 in the league opener for both clubs.

After the game, Shupe praised the Oilers skating and checking, adding “they gave us more competition than we ever got from the Bruins last season.”

“If this is an indication, then we can look for a very competitive Western Divis- ion.”

In the only other league game Tuesday, Medicine Hat Tigers edged Brandon Wheat Kings 8-7.

Victoria, the defending league champions, fell behind 2-1 in the second period after a scoreless opening frame.

CYRSCORES TWO

But Troy Farkvam evened the score at 9:56 of the final period on a deflection, and 56 seconds later second-year

winger Paul Cyr scored the winner on a power play. Cyr added an insurance goal in the final minute.

Doug Kostynski and Trav Gibson — two of the five holdovers from last year's New Westminster club — scored for Kamloops.

Shupe said the Cougars “seemed a bit uptight.” :

“For most of the first two periods my players insisted on moving to the puck,” he said. “As a result, you could have thrown a blanket over three guys at the same time.”

In Medicine Hat, the Ti- gers got goals from eight dif- ferent players to defeat the Wheat Kings despite being outshot 64-42,

Roger Krshnak, Dean Me- Arthur, Colin Solheim, Blake Morrison, Murray Craven, Stu Wenaas, Mike Lay and Rob Semchuk scored for the winners who led 5-4 after two periods.

Tom McMurchy led Bran- don with three goals, while Kelly Glowa added a pair. Tony McMurchy and Carl Mokosak completed the scor- ing.

Tonight, Medicine Hat is at Saskatoon and Portland vis- - its Billings.

OAKLAND (AP) — Baseball manager Billy Martin of Oakland A’s has dropped his threat to boy- cott American League Western Division playoff games.

“It's a dead issue now,”

Martin drops ’ boycott threat

Martin said Tuesday after being assured that he and his coaches will get extra compensation for the play- off round created for this strike-split major league baseball season. “I think we made our point.”

Field hockey off to victorious start

The Stanley Humphries field hockey season is off to another successful start.

On the junior Rockette scene, the team travelled to Trail. The score was an easy 4-0 victory for the Rockettes. Colleen Ehman and Connie Batchelor did an excellent job at controlling the ball in the offensive end of the field. The next junior match is in Salmo.

The senior Rockettes had a 1-0 victory over Grand Forks in last week's league play. On the weekend, the team made its annual trip through the Okanagan. Here are the re- sults —

Summerland 0 Rockettes 0

This was a poorly played game and the Rockettes did not show the game control f which they are capable.

Okanagan/Mission 2 Rockettes 1

Paulette Schreiber and An- drea Belezyk played excep- tionally well in the clean wide open game. Donna Kinakin scored the Rockette's single point.

At the tournament in Sal- mon Arm the girls played very well against the top class coast teams. Lorrie Sherstobitoff, Lynn Lefur- gey, and Lisa Martini con- trolled the team with aggres- sive tackles and setting plays.

Scores were: Oak Bay 2 Rockettes 0, Hillside 0 Rock- ettes 0, Delta 1, Rockettes 3.

Play this week has the senior team in league action at J. Lloyd Crowe and a tournament in Chilliwack on the weekend.

By The Asuociated Press

Oakland manager Billy Martin gave left-hander Tom Underwood the ball — and a little incentive,

“I tld him that if we face certain clubs in the playoffs, I might use him asa starter,” said Martin.

Underwood, who only had one previous start during the second half of this season, responded with a four-hitter Tuesday night to lead the A's toa 5-1 triumph over Toronto Blue Jays.

The certain clubs referred to by Martin are Detsit Ti- gers and New York Yankees — two American Lea East teams with strong left- handed hitting. But first the A's will have to win the AL West playoffs, of course.

The A’s victory kept them $% games behind Kansas City in the second-half West race. The Royals held onto their slim lead with a 4-2 decision over Minnesota."

TIGERS IN FIRST

Meanwhile, Detroit moved into first place in the East by one-half game after defeating Baltimore 14-0 while Mil- waukee was losing to Boston 7-2. The results left the Red Sox in third place, a game back.

Elsewhere in the AL, it was: Cleveland 3, New York 2; California 5, Chicago 1; and Texas 6, Seattle 2.

Underwood struck out 10 batters, the most by an Oak- land pitcher this year, includ- ing the last four he faced.

ROYALS 4 TWINS 2

George Brett's homer, triple and two runs batted in, plus the eight-hit pitching of Jim Wright and Dan Quis- enberry, led Kansas City over Minnesota.

Brett slammed a fastball from AL Williams, 6-10, some 400 feet over the right- centre field fence at Metro- politan Stadium to give the Royals a 1-0 lead in the first

inning. He also trinlec home Kansas City's last run in the seventh,

Detroit scored three un- earned runs ina five-run first inning and picked up five more in the sixth while Jack Morris and Dave Rozema combined on a three-hitter to stop Baltimore.

Morris, 14-6, game up only one hit while walking four and striking out five in six innings before giving way to Rozema, wo started the seventh and gained his third save. Baltimore starter Scott McGregor, 12-5, did not last through the first inning.

RED SOX 7 BREWERS 2

Dave Stapleton stugged four hits, including two solo home runs, and Mike Torrez and Mark Clear combined on a five-hitter to lead Boston over Milwaukee.

The Red Sox chased Jim Slaton, 5-7 with three runs in the fourth to lead 4-0. Staple-

ton brought home one of the runs with his first homer of the night, and ninth of the season. He hit his 10th in the seventh,

Holds record for fungoes

NEW YORK (AP) There's no category in the baseball record books for such items as the most fungoes hit in a season or consecutive years of putting on a uniform. But, if there were, Jimmie Reese would hold both marks — carved in

‘stone, undisputed and un-

matchable.

“T guess I've hit more than two million fungoes in my time,” says the tall, silver- haired coach of California Angels. “It's hard for me to remember a time that I didn’t have to rush to the ball park.”

Fungoes are practice hits directed at outfielders in which balls are batted by a coach without a challenge from a pitcher.

Reese celebrates his 76th birthday Thursday. He will observe it as he has for the last 64 years, with a bat in his hand. There's not a man alive

—. who has had a longer, un-

broken association with the game.

“Me, retire?” he repeated a question over the telephone from Chicago, where the An- gels closed their series with the Whte Sox before moving on to Texas for the season windup against the Rangers. “Guess they'll have to tear this uniform off me.”

* No one is so inclined.

Reese, once a Yankee room-mate of Babe Ruth, has become an institution, one of the most respected and ad-

‘mired men in the sport al- though relatively unknown outside its environs.

STANDS ALONE

Certainly, Lou Gehrig’s 2,180 cnsecutive games and Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hit- ting streak are towering deeds that may never be duplicated, but for sheer durability and faithfulness to a game Reese's career is on a

tier by itslef.

Los Angeles born, Reese started as a bat boy for the old Angels in the Pacific Coast League when he was 11‘ years old. There hasn't been a break since.

He lugged bats for six years, broke in as an infielder with Oakland of the PCL, did a brief stint in the majors with the Yankees and St. Louis. Cardinals, then took root asa minor league player and coach with LA, San Di- ego, Seattle, Hawaii and Portland before returning to the majors as an Angels coach 10 years ago.

His specialty is hitting fungoes. He may be the greatest fungo hitter who ever lived.

“He is so good at hitting fungoes,” says Tom Seeberg, director of public relations for the Angels, ‘that he has even hit fungoes to the bat- ters as a batting practice

pitcher.” “Not any more,” says Reese. “Seven or eight years

* ago, I was hitting balls to Joe

Gordon in the cage and he almost took off one of my ears.

“You can't have a screen for protection if you're de- livering the ball with a bat. So I vowed, ‘No more.’ "

A ramrod-straight six-foot- er, Jimmie is always one of the first atthe park and one of the last to leave. He makes all the road trips and par- ticipates in all of the Angels’ outside activities.

For all his baseball long- evity, Reese can’t look for- ward to a fat pension, a luxury of the modern. ball player.

“When I broke in, there wasn't any such thing as a pension. When I joined the ‘Angels 10 years ago, I was past the 65-year age limit and couldn't qualify.”

Cardinals overpower Expos

By The Associated Press

For St. Louis third base- man Ken Oberkfell, the way to the National League East second season title is simple.

“We've got to go after all our games and win them,” Oberkfell said after powering the Cardinals to an 8-4 vic-

;tory over Montreal Expos on

Tuesday night and back into first place. “It seems like everythinbg g is falling into place. 2

“We went through a bad streak, but we're out of it and Montreal has to catch up now.”

Oberkfell had four hits and three RBI in the Cards’ vic- tory. Gene Tenace chipped in with a two-run double in the 18-hit St. Louis attack.

The victory, St. Louis's fourth straight, moved the Cards back in front of the Expos. Montreal, which had a 2'/2-game lead four days ago, suffered its third straight loss.

In other NL games, it was: Los Angeles 5, Atlanta 3; New York 7, Philadelphia 0; Pittsburgh 10, Chicago 6; Cincinnati 4, San Francisco 3; and San Diego 2, Houston 1.

Down 2-0, St. Louis bounced back in the bottom of the first inning. Keith Hernandez singled, George Hendrick and Tenace doub- led, and Oberkfell slapped a two-run single. Tommy Herr's triple and Garry Tem- pleton’s sacrifice fly added another run int he St. Louis second,

The Cards added two in- surance runs in the fifth on an RBI single by Oberkfell and a sacrifice fly by Dane Torg.

Montreal manager Jim Fanning was philosophical about the loss.

Willie Stargell keyed a four-run uprising in the sev- enth inning to lead Pitts- burgh over Chicago.

Daie Berra, who stole home in a three-run Pirate rally in the third inning, snapped a 5-5 tie in the sev- enth with an RBI single. An intentional walk then filled the bases for Stargell, who ripped a Doug Capilla pitch into right field to break open the game.

Playoff can't be

TORONTO (CP) —: The way Toronto Argonaut pres- ident Ralph Sazio sees it, you can switch coaches during the current Canadian Foot- ball League season, but you can't change the rules.

For Sazio, the firing of Willie Wood and the hiring of Tommy Hudspeth as his re- placement after the Argo- nauts’ 10th consecutive loss two weeks ago was a nec- essary ‘step towards improv- ing the team. Since then the Argos have split two games and find themselves in a third-place tie with Montreal Alouettes,

But all this talk about changing the playoff format just because two 1-11 East- ern Division teams — the Argos and the Alouettes — now are battling for a post- season spot while two West- ern teams with superior rec- ords will miss out, is of little concern to Sazio. In fact, he won't even be upset if the Argos don’t make the play- offs.

“It's like changing the rules in the middle of a game,” said Sazio of prop- osals West teams intend to make on changing the playoff structure.

“It's unfortunate that things have worked out the way they have in the East this year, but in other years, when the weren't as strong as the Eastern teams, I didn’t hear any complaining.”

However, the CFL records show that only one Western team — 1973 B.C. Lions — gained a playoff berth ahead of an Eastern club with a

Western clubs.

format changed

superior record. The Lions had a 5-9-2 record that year, while Hamilton Tiger-Cats, who then had Sazio as gen- eral manager, ‘missed the Eastern playoffs with a 7-7

mark,

Meanwhile, 1981 will mark the eighth year in the last 11 that an Eastern club will make the playoffs ahead of one or more Western clubs with better records.

But Sazio, just as CFL commissioner Jake Gaudaur has said time and again, cited the benefit to Canadian unity by having East meeting West in the Grey Cup.

However, Gaudaur has shown a willingness to listen to new proposals.

“If some plans were to be devised about the situation I think we should look at it,” said Gaudaur.. ‘We should never have a closed mind.

“Last year, B.C. came up with a proposed playoff change, but it had no sup- port. But, I dodn’t think you can come to the conclusion that there needs to be a change based om what hap- pens in a given year.”

“It's unusual that two teams have only one win at this point in time,” Gaudar said. “To say that a team should not be able to make the playoffs because they're so far behind is contrary to everything I've learned in sport.”

Much to the aggravation of the Western teams, Sazio and Hudspeth are viewing the playoffs as something they might stumble into — neither are anticipating or worrying about it.

EDMONTON (CP) — Calgary Boomers of the North American Soccer League have been placed in receivership by the courts.

Péter Pocklington — who earlier announced his intention to merge the club with his Edmonton Drillers — confirmed Tuesday a court action brought against Boomers’ owner Nelson Skalbania of Van- couver by a Calgary ad- vertising firm has resulted in the team being placed in receivership.

Earlier this summer, the advertising company, Baker-Lovick, said if in- tended to sue Skalbania for about $350,000 in unpaid bills.

“I don’t know how you can ignore a market that includes nearly 25 per cent of your population,” said Fletcher, who now has reverted to his normal role as general man- ager of Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League.

WORTH WHILE Fletcher said everyone gains from i i hoc-

key and despite Canada’s 8-1 loss to the Soviet Union in the series final, the tourna- ment was worth while.

He said since NHL players started meeting European teams, “They've learned a lot from us and we've learned a lot from them. But whether the Canada Cup could sur- vive financially under the same format is another mat- ter.

“If we do this again, we can't be having any more games starting at 4 p.m. That may be okay in Europe where a lot of people finish work at 2 o'clock. But it won't sell in North America.

“That means we've got to convince the Europeans the games will have to be played on consecutive days. Playing three games one day and ‘none the next just isn’t prac- tical financially. I think they'll also have to look at blacking out TV coverage in the home city.”

Fletcher said international hockey isn't losing its appeal to North American fans, and there should be no change in the time of the year the tournament is held.

NEED EARLY START

“I know a lot of people say it’s too early but it’s the only time when we can put our

best team on the ice. We

schedule.”

The Canadian entry should start its training camp earlier next time, said Fletcher, who feels that Team Canada had the right players on its 1981 squad.

“There were probably an- other dozen guys around the NHL who could have played as well as the ones we picked, but I don't think we made any mistakes on the ones we kept. And I still think we picked the team the. right way.

“This was the first time a Canadian team has been able to skate with the Europeans right through a tournament. Or, at least it did until the last 40 minutes of the last

me.”

Fletcher, whose squad was beaten 8-1 in the final, thanks in part to sharp play by Soviet goaltender Vladislav Tretiak, was asked whether he would have preferred to use another goalie.

“Mike Liut didn't have one of his better nights but re- member we scored only one goal and you're never going to beat that team with one goal.”

British Columbia Lions (for instance) could end the sea- son with 11 victories and miss the playoffs. Toronto Argonauts (for instance) could, on the basis of winning only one game this season, make it into the rich semi- finals.

Theoretically, then, it's possible for a team that has only one regular-season vic- tory toits credit, to end up in possession of Canada’s most prestigious tureen, the Grey Cup.

Is there an alternative system? Well, yes, there is — but I don’t expect you to go along with it for a moment,

The British have a system for soccer wherein the teams are divided into divisions. At the end of the season, the last-place club in the top division is relegated to the second division and the top club in the second division is promoted.

Mind you, in European soccer they have a mind- boggling number of presitge- laden trophies. There's a FA Cup, the League Cup and even — would you believe — the Cup-Winners’ Cup. And

more.

In the CFL, there is only the Grey Cup. For all the marbles.

That's the problem.

To divide the CFL into two divisions — with all the best teams in one — would be a disaster at the gate.

Would YOU pay top dollar to watch YOUR team battle other weak sisters all season?

My, how times change. I seems like only yesterday when the mighty Eastern teams were insisting that Western challengers play off against intermediate clubs for the right to meet the big guys. : 4 * And remember back when the East really opposed the entry of those upstart B.C.

BURNABY (CP) — Simon Fraser University has sent more than 60 players on to Canadian Football League careers because the Clans- men attract top prospects from across the country through a ‘tradition estab- lished by the first graduating class,

“We had a unique group of people back in 1965 who had no hallmark to go by,” athletic director Lorne Davies said in an interview.

“Those early _ practices were really something. “The coaching staff made it physi- cally challenging for the first football players at Simon Fraser. There was a compe- titive factor within the team to establish a sound trad- ition.”

Davies, who coached the first seven SFU football teams, said there are several factors that make the Clans- men the top producer of Canadian talent for the nine CFL teams.

He points to a high stan- dard of education, an oppor- tunity to play against Amer- ican teams and gain recog- nition outside the country, and athletic scholarships and grants at SFU.

LIONS BENEFIT

There are at least 26 former SFU players current- ly performing in the CFL, including 10 with British Columbia Lions.

“The fact that Canadian players whoattendSFU a highly recognized by CFL teams in their scouting is a factor which works in our favor,". Davies said. “We have the mystic ingredients that other Canadian univer- sities can't offer.

The Clansmen carry 54 players on their roster and 25 are from outside B.C.

SFU began its football program in 1965 with a small enrolment on the campus atop Burnaby Mountain im- mediately east of Vancouver. There are now more than 10,000 students. .

Davies is especially fond of his first team iri 1965. Seven players — Dave Cutler, Gary Robinson, Roger Kettlewell, Russ Jenkins, Rob McLaren, Doug Sheffield and Ted War- kentin — went on to the CFL.
