May 20, 1977 ccasional utbursts 5 OTTAWA (CP) — Con- & verting football to the metric system could mean the end to the Canadian flavor in the game, Jake Gaudaur, Canadian Foot- With DAVE HAMILTON i s Reds are fas: and strong The Terrace Red’s, reigning Bulkley Valley League champions, open their home season this Sunday at Kerr-Rotary Park. The Red’s are working hard to duplicate last year’s successes but hope to go one step further, win the regular season title as well, Last season the Red’s and the Smithers Glaciers finished tied for first and the Glaciers won the playoff game 8-7. The next day the Red's won the championship by defeating the same team 6-1. Once again the locals are a young, strong, fast team. They have strength at every position and every member of the club is capable of hitting the long ball. The Red’s also have. three or four. . speedsters and an excellent coaching staff. . The Red’s starting lineup for Sunday.is almost identical to last years as only two rookies have managed to crack the starting line. Five-balling; Gary Paulson is once again the Red’s ace hurlerand he should provide the team with a number of victories this season. Catching Gary will be last year’s assistant coach Jack Richard, back from an ankle injury, and he supplies power from the left side of the plate. The infield is strong with a veteran at each of the four positions. The height and excellent glove of Al Olson gives the club the best first baseman in the league. Garry L’Estrange and Willie Chemko combine to give the Red’s an experienced double play combination at second and shortstop respectively. Over on third base the quick, sure hands of Phillip Webb provide the team with a solid corner man. The two rookies, Wayne L’Estrange and Lance Legouffe, flank veteran centrefielder Dave Hamilton (the same). in the outfield. This gives the Red’s a strong outfield as all three have good arms and field the bail well. The club also has three rookies and three veterans to give them good depth. Returnees Lorrie Arnold-Smith, Donnie McColl and Gino Iamele give the Red’s a strong pitching staff and in Arnold-Smith, last year's home run king. Newe .ners Doug Matheson, Barry Heit and Tom Morton will also help the team once they gain some.more experience. All three are beginning to’ hit the ball well and it’s just a- matter of beating someone out of their starting position. The Red's are here to provide the public with some good baseball] and manager Red L'Estrange is confident his club can give it to them. L'Estrange‘has also prepared opening day ceremonies including guests Larry Paulson, _ Tony Gillard and Vic Joliffe. All the action - begins at 1:30 at Kerr-Rotary Park. In Terrace ball League commissioner, said Thursday. “1 think an awful lot would be lost,” Gaudaur told a juncheon meeting of cabinet ministers and MPs. One of the first results would be a switch to four downs from the current three, he said. “Three downs is one of the greatest things we have in our game." The metres required for a first down would mean the equivalent of having to gain 10.9 yards, he said. That would be difficult with three downs and would likely-resutt in.the switch to four downs.‘That would shift Smith, Brock signed by Lions VANCOUVER (CP) — British Columbia ‘Lions of the Western Football Conference said today they have signed veteran line- mah Wayne Smith and Paul Brock to new . one-year Canadian Football League contracts. Smith, 27, is an eight- year pro veteran who came to the Lions in 1976 in a trade which sent three players— David Boone, Brock Ayn- sley and Larry Cameron—to Ottawa Rough Riders of the Eastern Football Confer- ence. The Canadian defensive end, who is six-foot-four and 240 pounds, was named to the allCFL team in the 1972 and 1974 seasons. He is a ’ native of Halifax who turned professional with the Riders at the age of 19 without college experience. Cameron is the onl player in the trade still wi the Riders. Aynsley now is with Montreal Alouettes of the EFC and Boone is with Edmonton Eskimos of the “WEC. Brock, 22, joined the Lions midway through last season afier being released by New York Jets of the National Football League. The im- port offensive tackle played college football at Tulane. He stands sixfoot-three and weighs 250 pounds. Hockey merger EDMONTON (CP) — The Journal says a merger of the World Hockey Association and the National Hockey League is expected before the next hockey season. The Journal, quoting an unidentified “highly-placed source,” says the merger likely will be announced before’ the NHL draft of junior players early in June. Edmonton will be one of six WHA teams to join the NHL, the newspaper says. Calgary, San Diego, In- dianapolis and Birmingham art not expected to be asked to join. uO However, NHL president Clarence Campbell says reports of a merger are unfounded. Campbell (says Softball for everyone This year in Terrace there are a number of groups playing softball for social recreation. Teams are made up from various organizations, commercial operations or just plain friends. Games are played whenever two teams can arrange a time to play, The games are most often played at Caledonia Senior defeated a group from Lindsay's Cartage and Storage 16-15.

This is Terrace’s 50th anniversary so everybody get out, have fun and meet new friends. The Ministry of Highways has three teams which are currently playing amongst themselves for the practice | before fall? tepresentatives of both leagues have been meeting for several months to discuss ‘tan accommodation or so-called merger” but they have no power to negotiate any kind of arrangement. “The conditions under which it (a merger) could ever happen are so arducus it’s doubtful it can ever be successful,’ Campbell says. The NHL asking reported to be slightly more than $2 million for each .of the six new teams, with an additional $1 million to be paid over the next five years. the offensive emphasis almost completely to run- ning, he said, The sport would leose the appeal it gets now through ‘a mix of passing and running. Gus MacFarlane, the government whip and a former college football coach, said if four downs were accepted, it would not be much longer before our game would be the same as the American one. Gaudaur was in Ottawa to meet Sport. Minister Jona Campagnrole to see if more government sports support can be directed into amateur football. He said © that because amateur foot-. +all is not an international game, it doesn’t get the same rate of federal funding as do other less popular games, . Gaudaur also told the luncheon that the CFL would like to expand into London, Ont., and especially into the Atlantic provinces. The. Halifax-Dartmouth area, with its population. Base of 275,-000, seems strong enough to provide the 26,000-27,000 average per game attendance required to keep a team solvent, he said. ; The team would likely have to be a community . owned enterprize as are five of the nine existing CFL teams. But the area lacks a football stadium capable of supporting a CFL team, Gaudaur said. This was an area for federal-provincial- municipal co-operation, A team could have its fran- chise fee repaid within 10 years from the league gate- equalization plan, Gaudaur said. It: was not possible for . ‘football teams, with their limited number of home games, te build their own stadiums. Most teams in Canada and the United States pay rental fees. Last season, the CFL teams paid $2.5 million in stadium rental and $3 million in federal income tax. The eastern teams paid $) million to the Ontario and Quebec governments in ‘amusement taxes. “The league has been ‘having regular attendance increases during the last few years reaching a record 25 million last season. It also attracted 50 million television viewers and heavily outdistanced National Football League teams in popularity among Canadian viewers, Gaudaur said. Metrics could kill our football In the nine franchise cities, football was more popular than professional ockey among viewers except for Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto, an independent survey shows, Gaudaur told Les Ben- jamin (NDP—Regina-Lake Centre) that the league would Jike to be able to lift its local television blackout policy for home games but whenever it does, attend- ance falls off heavily.
