First holes count _

WINNIPEG (CP) — The
190 golfers competing today
at the start of the Canadian
junior championship must
make thelr moves on the
first five holes if they hope to
conquer the Breezy Bend
Country Club layout, says
club professional Sandy
Paterson.

“The first five holes
comprise two short par
fours, two reachable par
fives and a relatively short
par three,” Paterson gald,

“With the calibre of golf
expected in this year's
tournament, I think we will
see many of the boys under
par after these holes.”

Players who fail to meet
that challenge after five
holes might struggle to
remain in contentlon through
the next nine, but . they'll
need to be in form when they
step up to the tee at No. 15.

“The 16th, 16th, 17th and
18th have ruined many a fine
round,” says Paterson. “To
get over the last four in par
or one over would be very
satisfactory.”

Paterson predicts the
champion of the tournament,
‘which ends Sunday, will
finish with a four-round total
of 291 or 292 on. the par-72
course,

If the plazers are plagued
by windy conditions, says
local amateur Bill Parker,
900 could be a winning ecore.

As well as playing for
individual honors, a four
man provincial junior team
also wilp be decided, The
team title will be determined
by total scores at the end of
the firat two rounds,

juvenile honors also
will be up for grabs.
Quebec, attempting to
defend its 1978 team victory,
will be led by Eric Kauf-
a who was third in thé
or competition las r
and won the juvenile cfown
in 1977. Kaufmanis ls among
the favorites for the in-
dividual junior title.
Ontario is led by its junior
champion Rick Sepp, who
won the national juvenile
competition last year. Rick

Gibson, who made both the
junior and senior teams in
British Columbia this yeér,.
carries that projaa nal
fzhopes,
Marc Chamberland, Mani-
toba'a sensational 15-year-
old, is also a strong con-
tender for the junior ttle,
left open by the graduation of
last year’s champion, Dan
Maue of Ontario, to the
senior ranks,

Chamberland isn’t par-
ticipating in the team
competition because he was
at a world junior tournament
in the United States when the
Manitoba four were
chosen.He qualified to play
for the individual juvenile
and junior awards through
hia play in the recent
Manitoba Amateur.

Players with the lowest 70
scores, Including ties, will
make the cut after two
rounds. The fairways of the
6,506-yard course have been
narrowed and the rough will
be long for the tournament.

Paterson says he
the greens will be fast.

Whitecaps goal cautious

VANCOUVER (CP) —
Goalkeeper Phil Parkes of
Vancouver Whitecaps has
adopted a cautious attitude
about tonight’s North
American Soccer League
playoff game here against
New York Cosmos,

Parkes, the leading keeper
this season with a regular-
season average of just under

A goal a game, is considered
the key to Vancouver's
chances in the National
Conference final.

“When it comes to the
playoffs, it's a whole new
thing,” Parkes said
Tuesday. “The previous
records can go out the
window.

“The Cosmos are the best
team in the league —
everyone knows that.”

Vancouver defeated New
York twice -during the
regular season, 4-1 here and
£2 in New York. The second
match was marred by a wild,
15-minute brawl which saw

KINGSTON, Ont. (CP) —
Sailors without wind are like

“We've probably got a
better record against the
Cosmos than any other club
in the league,” Parkes said.
“We've won five out of six
games against them since
Vancouver came inte the
league in 1974.

“And, the one time they

beat us (32 at New York),
was on that diabelical
penalty kick (awarded to
Georgia Chinaglia for a
tripping infraction against
Parkes) last year.
- “We know all about them
and they know all about us, I
think they respect what
we've got here and will be
ready for us. You saw what
they did to Tulsa on the

New York and Vancouver

Connell noted that the
regatta rules say there must
be a minimum of four races
to make the regatta.

“We should have had six
races off by now."’.

Three of the nine classes
have run four times. The
others have three races in.

able to get around in winds
that leave heavier craft
