“Nema problema, says"

Pavle Lukac; ‘director of

Feb. 19.

“The’ sun js “never a

full of snow,” said Lukac,

“The ‘sun: “thanges’ “the
. quality of the snow, makes

it more crystalline, makes it
faster, 0°

- “But the warm wind from i

the south — the Jugo —
melts the snow faster than
‘any sun," he added. “It just
blows the snow off the hills.
The wind is very dangerous
for us.”

“We've! been: using the

Berry said although he

the decision

Gerry.”

Hart signed a one-year
deal with the Roughriders a
month ago.

When asked why the
Roughriders would allow
Hart to discuss employment
elsewhere and then hold

him to his contract once he

struck a deal, Herrera said:
"Coaches in all leagues tend
to allow people to talk to one
another, However, per-
mission to visit with
someone § doemmt —
necessarily mean the in-

dividual will be dismissed:

from his contract.”

Herrera sald the decision
to hold Hart was based on
timing — the Roughriders

would have to start looking -

for areplacement just when
groundwork was being laid
for the .1984 season — and
the feeling that it was a
sideways move rather than
an advancement, for Hart.
