We need the quiet serenity that comes with knowing that we are not
so small, we need its freedom and the joy of accomplishment, but
most important of all we need to remember. Cross-country skiing is
making a comeback across Canada as people get away from it all

by taking to the wooded trails in the winter for a lazy day where the
only sound is the gentle swish of the skiers as they glide over the
packed snow. After the snows have g

MONTREAL (CP) —
Heavyweight wrestler Paul
Leduc and Pierrette Beault
were married Monday night
in a ceremony in the centre of
the wrestling ring of Montreal
Forum.

Father Paul Acquin per-.
formed the ceremony and
Leduc's brother Joe, also a
wrestler, was best man.

The bride wore a white silk
gown. with a hood and fur
trim. .

Before the ceremony, the
Forum organist warmed up
the usually violence-oriented
wrestling crowd with songs

of cake

like I'm in the Mood for Lave,
Strangers in the Night and
Oh, Promise Me, |

As the husky Ledue and his
bride mounted the stairs into
the ring, the organist struck
up Here Comes the Bride and
the first fight of the night
broke out in the crowd,

_As the newly weds danced
to Love Story, Abdullah the
Butcher, another heavy-
weight, grunted something
which was roughly translated
as “get those bleeps outta da
ring.”

Later, the newlyweds cut
their cake, with a hatchet.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Larry
Jones, in his first year as head
coach of the Florida State Uni-
versity football team, would
have been happier if Monday's
Fiesta Bowl had ended 34 sec-
onds sooner. .

“I don’t feel that there's a
loser in a game like this,”’ Jones

- commented following the post-

season inaugural game, which
his Seminoles lost 45-38 to
Arizona State University Sun
Devils. “It’s really too bad that
the game didn’t end in a tie.”

The score was 3838 in the
closing minutes. But with 34
seconds left on the clock, sopho-
more halfback Woody Green
scored his third touchdown of
the afternoon on a one-yard
plunge to lead the Devils to the
45-38 victory. -

The game was tied four times,
and the lead bounced back and
fourth eight times.

ASU managed to score six
touchdowns against FSU. Up
until Monday, no team had been
able to score more than two

'- against the Seminoles.

Gary Huff, the junior quarter-
back for Florida State, lived up
to his regular-season laurels as
the top U.S. college offensive
player by picking up a total of
386 yards, with 347 yards com-
ing off 25 pasa completions.

‘South edged the North 7-4 in the
‘Shrine game. Florida's Tommy
Durrance cracked over from a

version attempt since high
school. Maurie Daigneau of
Northwestern tossed a one-yard
pass to Iowa State’s Bob Rich-
ardson in the second period for
the North’s touchdown but
