Husband Pat Bare came away with tweo wins, including Top Gun, and two runner- up placing while Terrace’s Ed Morris was runner-up for the match title, Full results, page C6. IT WAS called the Cascade Speed meet and specd is just what the Terrace Blucbacks swinimers showed at the Nov. 11-13 Cal- gary competition. And the result was a haul of one gold, three silver and two bronze - medals. - “Tt was a really good meet for us,”’ said coach Mike Carlyle, ad- ‘mitling he was pleasantly sur- prised by the number of finals the Bluebacks made given the Ievel ~ of competition. . Kevin Andolfatto, 14, provided the club with its golden moment, leading from start to finish in the - 1314 years 200m Breast. ' Carlyle said Andolfatto had got out quick in keeping with the plan ‘to wy for a Youth National qualifying time and was never threatened — he touched more than 5m clear of his nearest rival. » Andolfatto added silvers in the 50m and 100m Breast and only just missed a medal in the 100m Individual Medley. Although not expected to final - in that last event, Andolfatto had earned a berth with a strong heat swim, then improved his time-still further to finish fourth, In the 10 years and under divi. sion, Dylan Evans got his season off to a flying start with a silver in the 100m Free, bronzes in the 50m Back and Free plus three other final appearances. Carlyle said Evans had set per- sonal bests throughout the meet with a particularly marked im- provement in his silver swim. And Garth Coxford rounded out the medal count with a bronze in the 13-14 ycars 200m Fly. “That. was the swim of the weckend for us,’’ said Carlyle. Unranked going into the Cascade, Coxford had slashed five seconds off his previous best to go into the finals as sixth fastest. He then proceeded to chop an- other three seconds off on his way to the bronze. “Tt (the Fly) is the hardest cvent to swim this early in the year,’’ Carlyle added, pointing out Cox- ford had only limited taining time before the meet, Also tackling the 200 Fly, but in the 11-12 years group, was Tristan Brown, He was another to surprise by making the finals, Andolfatto gold a cruise then turing in a fillh spot per- formance, Carlyle noted there were 730 swimmers at Calgary from all four western provinces and Cali-. fornia, including five members of the Canadian National team. “The level of competition we faced will be a big help in our short course season,’” he added. The Bluebacks were in Smithers this past weckend and head for Kitimat Dec, 2 for the Marlins’ Invitational. Looking for that something special this Christmas? How about the Gift of Protection?

In these Idle weeks of autumn without NHL hockey there are a million stories of those being hurt. Everyone from the Zamboni driver ta fans who suffered through Ernest Seared Stupid on Saturday night have a tale of woe. What of the players, though? Does anyone care? We tend te lump them together as a group of fat cat millionaires + just losing a little pocket change while they lounge around a pool in Hawaii waiting for the y inconvenience to end, but. that's hardly the case. There is one group, in fact, that stands to lose much more than money as the lockout lingers on. There are more than 130 players in the NHL, cr almost 20 J per cent, who are 30 years of age or older. Many of them are on one-year contacts; some are lucky enough to have two-year deals; while few, like Wayne Greizky, are in the star category. A gocd portion of the alder players need every edge to keep up in a game that has ‘no sympathy for tired old legs. Some will have trouble catching up if @ the lockout is three months long. Many could be finished if the seascn is wiped out. “There's an adage that you're as good as your fast three weeks," says Dr. Doug Clement. And the last three weeks for some players were in April. Clement is prominent at UBC's sports medicine clinic. and advises some of Canada's top i athletes. He’s only recently bequn working with hockey players. “The biggest single factor is that somewhere along the line mind games start going on. Players think they can sluff off for a while because there's not going to be a season, ice time is difficult to find, and there’s no deadline to shoct for like there is at the opening of training camp.” All the while younger legs are working every day in the minors in hopas of being ready to snag a job.
