Paye 12, The Herald, Tuesday, December 11. 1979 fr PER ACE-WEEEMA daily herald SPORTS | Spartak kilis New West. VANCOUVER (CP) — They sent boys to do a man’s job and Moscow Spartak responded by spanking New Westminster Bruins 11-1 Monday night in an exhibition hockey game. Spartak toyed with the in- experienced Bruins in the last two periods as the Soviet first division team won its second straight game during an eightstop tour of major junior teams in the Western Hockey League. Moscow opened with a 14-3 shellacking of Victoria Cougars on Saturday night and the Soviet squad was equally as brilliant against a New Westminster team which added eight players from other WHL teams, One of the additions, Boalkeeper Neil Girard of Billings Bighorns, faced 40 Spartak shots and had little chance on the ones which beat him, mostly from short range. Centres Aleksandr Barinev and Renat Baimukhametoy were the pick of the Soviets as they combined for five goals, with Baring _:oring three times, Alekse, *.xostylevy, Arkadij Rudakov, Vladimir Zubkov, Valerij Bragin, Sergei Shepelev and Aleksandr Kozhevnikof also scored for Spartak, which had period leads of 2-1 and 7-1. The Bruins' goal came from right winger Rick Amann during a power play early in the game which tied the score. Amann worked his way in close from the faceoff circle and lifted a high shot into the net for New West- minster’s brief — and only — moment to remember. Girard played the entire game for the Bruins and had to be brilliant as Moscow caught the Bruin defence flat-footed on numerous occasions, The crowd of 3,650 gave the visitors a warm hand at the end of the game in ap- preciation of the lesson the more experienced Spartak team gave the teenagers from New Westminster. The loss broke a three- game winning streak the Bruins, under coach Ernie McLean, had against touring Soviet teams. New West- minster's last three wins came against weaker Mos- cow Select sides. The biggest name in the Spartak lineup is that of forward Aleksandr Yakushey, who for many years as a member of the Soviet national team which has won many world championships and four Olympic gold medals in the last two decades. Yakushev, still a graceful stickhandler and playmaker, played only the first two periods and later sat oh the bench when it was evident the Bruins were no match for the masterful Russians. Victor Doroschenko played in the Moscow net for the first two periods and stopped 16 of 17 shots directed his way while re- serve Yurij Novikov stopped just six shots in the finai pe- riod, most from long range. The Bruins added Girard and forward Lindsay Carson from Billings, Dan Held from Seattle Breakers and five Victoria players — Tony Felirin, Mark -Robinson, Barry Pederson, Brad Palmer and Bob Jansch. The Bruins have won just three WHL games this season and obviously could have used more additions. Moscow next plays Wednesday in Seattle against the Breakers. Chieftains edge Kermodes Caledonia Senfor Secon- dary School's Kermodes and Mount Elizabeth Chieftains played their first game of the season against each other Monday night, with the Chieftains squeezing out a 53-50 win. Early season woes plagued bath teams in the contest, the first for each of the teams. The Kermodes began their season together in the game, while the Chieftains had played before but without the members of the senior volleyball team, which just finished its season last weekend. The Chieftains spotted the Kermodes an early 2-0 lead, but led the game from about five minutes into the first quarter until the end. The first half was close, with MESS pulling away late in the second quarter. They led 15-11 at quarter-time, and 27-19 at the half. Caledonia began the second half with a surge that tied the game for them at 29- 29, but after they tied the score Kitimat tightened their defense and Cal's shooting went cold, allowing the Chieftains to take a 41-34 third-quarter lead BOB CLARKSON... LT polnts Kitimat started the fourth quarter with six straight points, their rebounding giving them four or five shots on a single trip down the floor. Caledonia began to come back with about seven minutes left in the final quarter, pressuring the MESS defense but having trouble scoring. The Cal pressure did cost the Kitimat squad, even though not many points were scored, as the Chieftains lost two of their better players of the game, ¢ Terry Annis and David Tomaz, with five fouls each. The Kermodes’ Bob Clarkson got two baskets late in the game to make the score 51-48, and Calclosed to - within oneon freethrows, but . Steve Wilson got two foul shots with less thana minute left to put the game aut of reach and finish the scoring. Kitimat’s offense was very balanced, with only guard Harj Sohota scoring in double figures with 11 points, Tomaz had eight before he fouled out. High scorers for Cal were Bob Clarkson with 1? and Jim Kellar with 13. Both teams had trouble passing and completing their plays, due most likely to the fact that they have so little Westend, Juveniles win Westend Chevron and the Terrace Chrysler Juveniles were winners in Terrace Commercial Hockey League action Monday night. Westend got three goals in the second periad to power their way past Skeena Hotel 5-2 in the early game. Steve Dillabough got two goals for Westend, while Kevin Alexander scored twice in the second period for Skeena's only goals. Dillabough started the scoring of. a power play goal with 17 seconds left in the first period, Alexander's twa goals came in the first five minutes of the second period and gaye Skeena the lead, but Bob Peacock tied the game and Dillabough scored the eventual winner soon after. Bob Bogart scored with 11 seconds left in the second: and Gerry Bentham finished the scoring with less than a minute to play in the game. The late game saw Simon Dodd get four goals as the Terrace Chrysler Juveniles whipped Terrace Hotel 11-3. Chrysler started slowly, leading 3-2 after the first period, but Dodd got three of five Chrysler gaals in the second period and led the way to an 8-2 lead after the second. Doug Middleton put Chrysler up 1-0 with seven minutes gone in the first. Cary Humphrey tied the score a minute later, Dave Smyth scored to give Chrysler a 2-1 lead less than a minute later, and Mickey Wagner tied it again with four minutes to play. Middleton's second goal of the period put Chrysier ahead to stay at 11:04, The first half of the second period was scoreless until Dodd scored twice in less than a minute to get the Juveniles rolling. Bob Dempster, Darcey Mallet and Dodd finlshed the second period, and Chris Reneerkins, Larry Nord- strom and Dodd again scored before Rae Rowe finished the statistics with a late goal, Next scheduled game in the Commercial league is Wednesday night, when Terrace Hotel plays McEwan. No challenge Cup until 1983 TORONTO (CP) — The second Challenge Cup competition between a National Hockey League all- star squad and the Soviet Union national team, uriginally scheduled for February, 1981, will not take place until some time in 1992, NHL president John Ziegler said Monday. Ziegler said the shift was Necessary because the Challenge Cup would have followed toa closely on the heels of the sixcountry Canada Cup competition, scheduled for September, 1980. “Hockey Canada has re- quested that the Canada Cup end around the first of Oc- lober, which would push back the start of the regular season and that would nat give us the time to suspend the season for a week in order to facilitate a Challenge Cup,” Ziegler said, NHL president declined to comment on a decision reached at a meeting of NHL general managers last week in Florida which would see the amateur draft extended to 10 rounds from six. “I don't want to speatc to the change until I see a rewritten resolution in front of me,” Ziegler said, “Ex- tending the draft is only part of it. Several technicalities are involved here.” By limiting the entry draft to six rounds and 126 selections, the NHL found itself In the midst of a bid- ding war, Players not drafted were being offered contracts because they were declared free agents and players selected in the late rounds of the draft were not offered contracts. Hernandez, Baylor players of ST, LOUIS (AP) — Keith Hernandez of St, Louis Cardinals and Don Baylor of the California Angels on Monday were named major league players of the year by Sporting News, a weekly publication, The selections were by a poll of American League and National League piayera, who also voted on all-star teams. The players chose Mike Flanagan of Baltimore Orioles and Joe Niekro of Houston Astros as top pil- chers, Hernandez, the Cardinals’ firat baseman, outpolled Dave Winfield of San Diego Padres and Dave Kingman of Chicago Cubs for NL player honors, with Pitt- sburgh Pirates’ Willie Star- geil fourth. the year In the AL, Baylor was chosen over Baltimore right fleider Ken Singleton. Flanagan beat out New York Yankees’ Tommy Jon as top AL pitcher and Niekro outpolled Cy Young Award winner Bruce Sutter of Chicago in the National. Second baseman Bobby Grich of Callfornia joined Baylor, designated hitter, on the AL team. Others selected all-stars were Cecil Cooper, Milwaukee, first base; George Brett, third base, and Darrell Porter, catcher, Kansas City: Roy Smalley, Minnesota, shortstop; Jim Rice, left field, and Fred Lynn, centre field, Boston, and Jim Kern, Texas, right- handed pitcher. In the NL, shortstop Garry Templeton and catcher Ted Simmons joined Hernandez experience. When they did play well, though, they looked good. Kermode coach Bob Rafter was pleased after the game, despite the loss. He felt that his team had played well, and, commenting on the Kermodes' provincial ranking tenth, he said, “We just aren't paying any. at- tention to it." . “We've gat a really new team, only three returnees and several grade tens. Only three of the players are in grade twelve, so we've got a little work to do, but we'll be there.” . The MESS side was in Vanderhoof last weekend playing in the Vanderhoof Viking tournament, without their volleyball players. They won the tournament, placing Steve Wilson and Roger Pacheco on the all- star ‘eam and beating Dawson Creek in the final 140-48. Kitimat’s coach, Tony McCrory, said that the Dawson team pressed the whole game, allowing the Chieftains to fast break all game. Pacheco got 43 points in the final. The annual Kinsmen In- vitational Tournament happens at Caledonia this weekend. The schedule and participating teams will be announced later this week. Steelers fall to Oilers HOUSTON (AP) — Houston Oilers had just beaten Pittsburgh Steelers 20-17 Monday night when somebody mentioned te coach Bum Phillips that his team had knocked off the two teams that wound up in last year’s National Football League championship. *“T haven't anything about us beating - the’ two teams that were in last year’s Super Bowl,” he sald, reflecting fora moment on the Oilers’ 30-24 Thanksgiving Day victory over Dallas as well as this triumph. “I'm only in- terested in beating the team that gets there this year." If they play the way they did against the Steelers, they just may do it. The Oilers could have tried to tack on another touch- down on the game's final play. But from the Pitt- sburgh ane-yard line, they opted to run out the clock instead. “I called for them to fall on the ball because you don't want to take a chance on somebody getting hurt on the last play,” said Phillips, Dan Pastorini passed 25 yards to Ken Burrough for a TD just before halftime and Toni Fritsch hit two fleld goals for Houston, but the winning margin came on Rob Carpenter's four-yard touchdown run with 2:10 to play. Carpenter's sweep into the left corner of the end zone climaxed a 69-yard, eight- - play drive and turned out to be the winning touchdown when the Steelers — limited toa Matt Bahr field goal in the third quarter — erupted for two touchdowns in the closing minutes, And for a moment, with the Oilers’ three-pcint lead suddenly very much in danger, it appeared Pitt- sburgh might get a shot at another score. TheSteelers pounced on an onside kick with 1:18 to go following Terry Bradshaw's 34-yard touchdown pass to John Staliworth. But Pitt- sburgh was called for touching the ball before it had gone the required 10 yards and on the next kickoff, the Oilers recovered the short kickoff and ran out all by the final seconds; - The victory avenged Hous- ton’s 38-7 mauling at Pitt- sburgh on the second Sunday of the season. It also pulled. the Oilers into a first-place tie with the Steelers in the American Conference's Central Division. Each team is 11-4 with one regular-season game to go. But the Oilers’ dreams of their first title since they won the Eastern Division crown in the 1967 American Football League season are slender at best. Nat only must they beat playoff-bound Philadelphia Eagles next weekend, but the Steelers must lose at A ask us about you.

Pastorlni’s lightning strike, with 77 seconds to go in the firat half came on the [iret play after linebacker Robert Brazile's interception of a Bradshaw pags, Fritsch added second-half field goals of 24 and 34 yards. Pitlsburgh broke through in the second half to scare on Bahr’s 37-yard field goal and Lynn Swann's nine-yard run on an end-around .to cut Houston's lead to 13-10, It was a game replete with Pittsburgh mistakes, quite unlike the Steelera’ first meeting with Houston this ear,” , Not only did Bradshaw's interception and Brazile's 26- yard return give Houston a touchdown, but a holding penalty on offensive tackle Larry Brown wiped outa 26- yard touchdown pass from Bradshaw to Swann that would have Hed it at 10-10 late In the third period. Sabres shut out Wings BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — While declaring that he had “very few tough saves” in Monday night’s 4-0. Buffalo victory over Detroit Red Wings, Sabres goalie Don Edwards is still happy to have recorded his first National Hockey League shutout of the season. “It was a long time coming," he said, after the red-hot Sabres grabbed their elghth stralght win — their lith in 12 games. “I had a couple of one-goal games. But the truth is, I hardly did anything tonight.’’ . It was the night's only NHL game, and coach Scotty Bowman's $00th game as a National Hockey League coach as well. Rick Martin scored twice for the Sabres, who brought a sixgame Detroit unbeaten streak to a halt. “We didn’t skate,” said Red Wings coach Bobby. Kromm. ‘‘We didn't hit. We didn't move the puck. But you have to give Buffalo credit, They were on top of ws all night,” Edwards was called on to make only 14 saves, while the Sabres were firing 31 shots on Rogie Vachon. It was Edwards’ 10th NHL shutout. ‘ ae 7 a ne ee ae Buffalo went ahead early In the first period on Mar- tin’s 18th goal of the season. He apparently was passing to Gil Perreault, skating down the middle, but the puck hit a Detrolt defen- ceman and deflected into the net, ; The Sabres added two goals in the second period, when they outshot the Red Wings 15-2. Perreault scored his 17th goal of the seasan on a 45-foot drive. Jim Schoenfeld made it 3-0, tip- ping the puck past Vachon while sliding along the ice after Vachon blocked & cloge-in shot by Cralg Ramsay. Martingcored again Late in the third perlod, skating In on goal after a crossrink pass from Perreault. “This was the finest game T've ever seen our team play defensively,” said Edwards. r Dec. 5 and Dec. 12 WINSDAY tickets good for _ BIG BONUS \\ tora OF 500 OF $1,000.00 EACH ” Dec. 12 AT OG.
