PULLING OFF the league and playoff double in Under-12 soccer action this summer were the
Allan Hopkins-coached Copperside squad of (Back row, left to right) Michael Prest, Daniel In-

THEY WERE the youngest of the teams in this
summer’s Under-12 Youth Soccer division,

So the theory was they’d also be the weakest of
the sextet.

Unfortunately for the other five, ihe sixteen
youngsters playing for the Copperside team had
other ideas,

What they lacked in age, they more than made
up for in hard work, said coach Allan Hopkins.
“Morale was a big thing, too,’” he added,

advancing to the final against Overwaitea,

That proved to be a test of perseverance, Hop-
kins recalled. The two teams finished tied at the
end of regulation play and, despite having the
chances, Copperside couldn’t put their opponents
away even ina five minute overtime.

That forced a second overtime and this time the
squad found the scoring touch to take the title.

Sweet as the victory was, it was topped by the
surprise that was to follow: Hopkins had arranged
for them to all go out and enjoy a 10ft. long
banana split.

You shouldn't have ta be a
labor lawyer to read the sports
pages, but these days it helps.
The only collective bargaining
befora a big game should
determine where the family will
watch it and what thay'll snack on
at half time. Arbitration should
only come up when there's
homework to be done-and the
Flames are in overtime. Watch
the game but get up with the sun
and finish that essay on
Steinbeck...John, not Terry,

Unfortunately, though, we're
mired in the misguided world of
professional sports where there
are too many zeros on pay
cheques and in front offices. And
if you think that’s being too hard
on the paupers who play and
control our leisure pastimes, get
a load of what happened in
recent weeks. .

In Buffalo, Dominik Hasck, the
wild and crazy Czeck goaltender

s who, in his first year as a regular,

led the Sabres all the way to the
first round of the playoffs, walked
out of training camp all choked up
because the team wan't pay him
enough. Dominik's agent says his
client is the best goalie in the
world and he’s trying to figure out
what price tag that carries.
Dominik concedes, however, that
he doesn have to be the
highest-paid goalie; he'll accept
being third and $3 million will be
fine.

Arnold Schwartzenegger made
a hit movie but isn’t reading for
Anthony Hopkins parts, Get
serious, Dominik.

In Montreal, the Canadiens
signed Vincent Damphousse to a
new deal worth $10 million over
the next four years. The deal was
announced, with glee, on the
same day Gary Betiman told us
the NHL won't start uniess
players and owners have a
collective bargaining agreement,
An agreement, they suggest,
must control escalating player
salaries that teams can't afford.
Go figure.

In New York, a suggestion was
made that hockey's dispute can
be solved with a hefty tax on the
amount owners spend on player
salaries over $15 million. In other
words, a salary cap spelled

In Washington, baseball
players, in suits sans cleats,
appeared before congress asking
that the owners’ anti-trust
exemption be rescinded. Cecil
Fielder, one of the players on

lawmakers, "I don't want to be in
this room. | want be to out in the
dirt,” With that , he was sent to
bed without the red twisters he so

dearly covets.

lf there are two players on
every taam who understand
what an antitrust exemption Is,
then Marco Polo is water sport

This simple world of balls,
strikes and slapshots is taking
itself far too seriously and it's
high time to put on the brakes,
turn back the clock, Issue loin
cloths and start aver again.

Until Dow Jones is the
starting pitcher, let's get the
