TWO GOALS

Hull leads Jets

Bobby Hull hadn’t shot a
puck in anger at National
Hockey League goaltenders
in eight years.

And it appeared ihe
Golden Jet, saddied with
contract squabbles, never
again would get the chance
to play in the league that he
stormed through at arecord-
setting pace for 15 years with
Chicago Black Hawks.

Hull, whose name was
synonymous with Score,
jumped to the World Hockey
Association after the 1971-72
season and gave the
crediillty It needed to get

siarted.

The WHA folded last year,
but Hull had watched ite
demise from the stands
while missing most of the
year with Injuries and an
apparent dislike for tarmer
NHL hardrock John
Ferguson, who arrived as
general manager of the Jets.

But with the departure of
the WHA, rumors abounded
that Hull wanted to return to
the NHL and play out his
career in Chicago. Unable to
work out a suitable swap
with the Black Hawks,
Ferguson declared that if
Hull played again it would be
in a Winnipeg uniform,

Hull, now 40, didn't finish
negotiations with the Jets
until well into the season and
began working out only two
weeks ago. He was obviausly
laboring the first couple of
starts, but it was also ap-
parent from recent outings
that the old form was
returning.

The Golden Jet finally
broke into the goal column

Wednesday night, scoring
two goals as the Jets edged
their old WHA nemises,
Hartford Whalers, 3-2.

The performance over-
shadowed for most of the
12,736 fans at the Winnipeg
Arena the game winner by
Peter Sullivan and the
euphoric performance of
Hartford goaltender John
Garrett,

Inother games Wednesday
night, Toronto Maple Leafs
triumphed 7-2 over St, Louis
Blues, Anders Hedberg
scored twice to lift New York
Rangers past Detrolt Red
Wings 3-2, Vancouver
Canucks padded their lead in
theSmythe Division with a 5-
2 decision over Chicago
Black Hawks and Mirmesota
North Stars romped 7-2 over
Quebec Nordiques.

Jets 3 Whalers 2

Hull, playing his fourth
game since returning to the
Jets, admitted he tried to
crack the lineup before he
was ready

\

He had played cautiously
in his first three games,
taking few shots and never
really unwinding fer one of
his patented end-to-end
rushes, ‘

“I was unfair to myself
and unfair to the team,
trying to force myself into
the lineup as quickly as |
did,” Hull said, “Really, [
shouldn't have been getting
into the lineup until about
now,”

Maple Leafs 7 Blues 2

Dave Williams and Paul
Gardner each scored twice
as the Leafs stretched their
current win streak to four
games anc the new Kid Line
accounted for two more
goals with rookie Laurie
Boschman counting his
fourth goal in as many
games and John Anderson
adding his third of the
season.

LANDOVER,Md, (AP)-
Washington Capitals of-
ficiala’ unhappy with the
National Hockey League
Leam’s progress this season,
have named Gary Greén-at
26 the youngest coach in
NHL history-to replace
Danny Beliale.

In announcing the.
dismissal of Belisle as coach
Wednesday, general
manager Max McNab said:
“Management is very dis-
2ppainted with the progress
of the Washington Capitals
so far this season and has,
therefore, decided a
coaching Change is
necessary.”

Green, a native of Tillson-
burg, Ont., had been
coaching Hershey Bears of

the American Hockey
League, He assumes his
duties tonight when the
Capitals meet the Bruins in
Baston.

Green’s replacement at
with the AHL club will be
Doug Gibson, the club said,

The previous distinction
for youngest NHL coach had
belonged to Claude Ruel,
who was 31 when he became
coach of Montreal Canadiens
during the 1969-70 season.
Ruel is currently director of
player personnel in the
Montreal organization,

Belisle, 42, was hired just
48 hours before the opening
of the 1978-79 season. He
replaced Tommy McVie.

changes

Edmonton Ojlers, the former
coach said he may have been
to blame for the team's
defeat.

Saying the team was
neither over-worked nor
over-confident, Belisle said
Tuesday night: ‘Maybe I
lost this one. I don’t know.
I'm befuddled somewhat.
I'm doing everything [ can,
but once the game starts,
you can make very few
mistakes behind the bench.”

The Capitals, witha record
of 4-10-2 for 10 points, are at
the bottom of the tough
Patrick Division.

“] don’t feel nervous,”
Green said Wednesday in an
interview with the London
Free Press, "I haven't had
time.”

He met with the players at
a suburban Washington
motel immediately upon his
arrival,

A job in the NHL has been
uppermost in Green's
priorities since he left
Peterborough Petes after
leading the Ontario Major
Junior Hotkey League club
to the Memorial Cup
championship last season.

He was lured away from
Peterborough by the
Capitals last June for a
reported $50,000 a year for
two years with the promise
that the Washington job
would be his. The contract
also called for a car, an
apartment and an open-end
expense account,

Hawks, supersonics win

John Drew of Atlanta
Hawks felt a big tap in the
small of his back. Actually it
was more like a thump.

“He did it Intentionally,”
said Drew. ‘The films
showed that,’

Drew was talking about his
scuffle with Utah Jazz's
Adrian Daniley during the
Hawks’ 103-97 National
Basketball Association
victory Wednesday night.

The Hawks were trailing
66-61 in the third period when
Dantley appeared to hit
Drew in the back with the
ball and the two exchanged
punches. Both players were
given technical fouls and
ejected. But the officials
changed their minds and
allowed Dantley to remain in
the game.

The fight seemed to inspire
the Hawks, who outscored
the Jazz 18-6 and assumed a
lead they never lost, .

Dantley wound up with 28
points but only one field goal
after the fight.

Hockey hope dim
says Harris

TORONTO (CP) —
Canada’s hopes of icing a
bockey team in the next
decade capable of beating
the Soviet Union are remote,
says former Team Canada
coach Billy Harris.

“They (the Soviet Union)
have got 650,000 playera and
their cbjective is to farm one
strong national team,"
Harris told a hockey seminar
at York University,

In contrast, Canada’s best
talent ia found in the
National Hockey League
where, "the NHL president’s
fob Is to develop 21 strong
teams,” Harris, a former
NHL centre who now is
hockey coach at [ aurentian
University in Sudbury, Ont.,
said,

“T hate tosay It and I hope
I’m wrong but in the 19808, 1
don’t see Canada putting to-
gether a hockey team that
can beat the Soviets,"

NHL president John

Ziegler told the Wednesday
night seminar that
Canadians should not feel the
quality of hockey in this
country is declining,

"You take the Soviet
natlonal team and an all-star
NHL team and any coach
could interchange those

layers without much dif-
culty,” he said, “But you
take the 400 or so NHL
players and the 400 best
playere over there and
there’a absolutely no com-
pariaon.
“Instead, though, there's a
creeping inferiority complex
that Canadians are getting
about thelr hockey. There's
nothing to be ashamed of,
though. We just don’t have
the format and, right now,
we're not structured for that
format.”

Mighty Mouse

a mother?

PRINCE GEORGE, 3.C,
(CP) Mrs. Elaine
Nahrgang isn't your average
Canadian housewife and
mother of two children.

She's the former Mighty
Mouse — Elaine Tanner —
who a decade ago was
harvesting a flock of medals
for Canada in international
swimming competition at
the Commonwealth Games,
Pan-Am Games and the
Olympics.

Today, she’s a happy
housewife and mother, living

a rather low-key lifestyle, in .

sharp contrast to her high
profile of the 1960s when she
was the teenage darling of
the swim set,

In 1966, at the age of 15, she .

captured four gold and three
sliver medals in the British
Commonwealth Games at
Jamaica in both individual
and team events. She set a
world record at that time in
the 220-yard buttertly.

A year later at Winnipeg, -

she added two gold and three
silver in the Pan-Am Games
and in the 1968 Olympic
Games at Mexico she earned
two silvers for Canada,

“Athletics haa taught me
80-much about life that it's
ont to know where to

In," says Mrs, Ni ang,
“One of the most bnpeeeaei
things that 1 have learned
from athletics is the value of
self-discipline, ~

“Sure, swimming was a lot
of work and sacrifice but at
least for me it wasn’t bad
because I loved what 1 was
doing.”

Shesays discipline teaches
a person to “apply yourself
and, if you do that, you'll be
surprised at what you really
can accomplish,”

- Her swimming career cap-
tured the spotlight because it
.was a case of a diminutive
teenager battling huge odds
and becoming a sports hero
for an entire country.

“T can't describe the
feelings that went through
me when I stood on -the
podium at the Olympics,”
she says. ‘‘It ia a moment
that you savor and it lasts a
very long time.

:-"] remember thinking I
did it for my family, my
country and for myself too. It
was a fantastic feellng, but
you have to go through it to
really appreciate it,”

She met her husband Jan
while attending the
University of Alberta in
Edmonton and they have
lived In this central British
Columbla city for the last
seven years, with Ian and
Elaine running a sporting
Goods store until recently.

Mrs. Nahrgang says she
enjoys being a mother —
Scott is 4 and Shannon 1% —
and it’s important to her to
be at home with the boys, at
least in thelr early years,

‘WWhat I'd like to do is
combine motherhood and a
Career as well as I can,” she
says. “I want to get the most
out of life and I think this
year would be a goad time to
get into sports again.” °

She says something alone
the lines of a job as a sports

coordinator would be just,

fine,

‘Both children are naturals
in the water, she adds, which
{ust might get her back into

e

pool.
“But I definitely don't
want to be one of those pushy
moms. I would love to see the

She says she might con-
sider coaching her own-
children, although that
might present some dif-
ficulties, .

Regardless, she will
always be remembered as
the Mighty Mouse of
Canadian swimming. Those
memorles were rekindled for
some last summer when she
was the pace swimmer for a
Loto Canada swim across
Lake Okanagan near
Kelowna.

Twelve
goals
in third

At the beginning of the
season, the Juvenile team
wasn't sure it was going to
enler the Terrace Com-
mercial Hockey League.
Right about now everyone
else wishes they hadn't.

In their last five games,
the Juveniles have outscored .
their opponents 48-16, last
night beating Westend 14-4,

The Juveniles scored nine
goals in the third period to
nail down the win, while
Westend got three in the
same wide-open period.

The Juveniles took a 2-0
lead in the first period on
goals by Warren Crick and
Doug Middleton, who added
three more in the third
period. They extended their
leadto 4-0 on goals by Chris
Reneerkens and Darcy
Mallet, before Westend
managed their only second
period marker at 10:58.

The Juveniles went up 5-2
before the end of the second
on Mallet's first goal of the
night.

The third period was a wild
oe with 12 goals scored.
Doug Ritchie scored at 2:25
for Juveniles, Westend's Mel
Euverman and Gord Ben-
tham made it 6-3 for
Weatend, and then the
fireworks really started.
Juveniles scored seven goals
in eleven minutes to put
away Westend.
