| Will Fingers fade? ’ Cleveland ST. LOUIS (AP) — The pay’s not bad and the hours are good—but what worries e Fingers is whether his right arm will hold up through one complete season with San Diego Padres. Fingers, the former bullpen star of the three- time World Series champion Oakiand A’s who signed with Natjonal League's Padres as a iree agent last November, is one of baseball's highest paid relievers, financially secure under a five-year contract worth a reported §1.6 on. But if the Padres persist in using ‘him as frequently as they have, he says, his worst fears may be well- founded. Fingers, summoned.

He has good stuff with exceptional control.” All of the secondary-round selections were players who were drafted previously but did not sign, After com- pleting the secondary phase, the 26 clubs returned to the regular phase of the draft which had started on Tuesday when 338 players were selected in 13 rounds. Montreal won the draft’s persistence award. The Expos, pickin 10th, selected _outfielderthird baseman Kalvin Adams, a team-mate of Ferroni’s at Central Arizona. The ironic part of the choice is that Montreal also drafted Adams as the over- all No. 1 selection last January. Obviously, their failure to sign “him the first*, time around did not dis-~ suade the Expos in their pursuit of Adams. As usual, Miami Dade Junior College’s various branches provided a favorite shopping area on the first round with four se- lections. They were first baseman-cateher Aurelio Cadahia, chosen by Philadelphia ; pitcher Byron Ballard by New York Yankees; right- - handed pitcher Vic Walters by Houston; and catcher Rodolfo Aria by Seattle.

Wildlife Federation. There was a panel ‘discussion on the subject “Impact of Recom- mendations of Pearse Report”. Participants on the panel: representing the coastal forest industry - A. Brockman Anderson of Rayonier Canada Ltd.; of Decker Lake Forest Products; representing the Fish and Wildlife Branch - Alan Eddie; the representative from the B.C. Forest Service was missing, a political decision as it was pointed out. The views on the report were not unanimous acceptable. The problems that con- cerned the delegates were of regional, provincial and national origin. It was heartening to see that the Revelstoke Dam and the Kitimat Pipeline were on the mind of every delegate and guest and not only those directly affected. Donations large and small to fund further investigation of the problem came from every corner. The speech of the outgoing resident Art Downs, publisher of the B.C. Out. doors magazine, pointed out several examples of in- justices to wildlife and to the outdoors by “politics” eg.: “The struggle to protect a band of comparatively rare California bighorn sheep. In the mid-1950's there were only 1,785 of these animals in the world and the Junc- overgrazing b but in overall THE HERALD, Thursday June 9 1977, PAGE AY ——B.C. WILDLIFE FEDERATION CONVENTION REPORT tion herd contained about 4000f them. They have been closed to hunting since 1915 and since the 1950's have been live trapped and sent to ranges in the Northwestern U.S. where they had become extinct. Several states now have small but thriving populations. As a result, there are today about 3,200 of them. For nearly 100 years however, the junction her hovered on the brink . of disaster because of domestic livestock. I. still remember the April when 1,500 cattle were turmed loose to com- pete with the sheep. We were able to finally get the land placed under the Management of the Fish and Wildlife Branch and grazing controlled, so that the im- mediate peril has disap- eared. However, the ighorn’s future is still not assured. The land is still under Crown control, which means it can be mined or otherwise alienated. To assure survival of the sheep the land must be brought under direct control of the - Fish and Wildlife Branch. The battle to achieve this objective continues, and is one of the many issues in which your Federation has been engaged the past year. The Federation has published a booklet on Wild Rivers and we _ were promised Wild Rivers Legislation in a throne speech by Premier Barrett, We are still: waiting. By contrast, the U.S, now has 473 miles of Wild Rivers, 394 miles of Scenic Rivers and 364 miles of Recreation Rivers, for a total of 1,231 miles of protected water- ” ays. He (Art Downs) then Pearsefindingsdiscussed commented on some club activities: “To the Williams Lake club for turning Jackson's Hole from a debris-clogged area of desolation into a sparkling lake; to the Kamloops Club for its ongoing battle to protect the Thompson River, now used as a sewer by the City of Kamloops and Weyerhauser Pulp and Paer; to the Victoria Club for ita par- ticipation in the fry reasring and feeding projects on the Goldstream River; to the Sparwoed and Fernie Clubs for their continuing battle to protect the Wildlife of Wigwam Flats from the irresponsible logging practices of Crows Nest industries and the Cabin Creek area from strip mining; to the Spruce City Club for spending and erecting at least 20 signs, each 4 x 4 bearing our Ob- serve-Record-Report message: to the Mission Club for its stand against Daon Corporation which wants build a strata-title housing development on the flood plain of Silverdale Creek to the Courtenay Club for being the first to suc- cessfully complete a project under the Salmonid Enhancement Program; to ‘the Port Coquitlan Club for continuin with un- diminished vigor - even after 21 years - its fight to prevent the Coquitlam River from being used as a sump for gravel tailings and many more.” Then a few words on freedom of information: “The u.s. has a Freedom- of-Information Act based on the premise that virtually all information obtained by government is public property and available on request. By contrast, our politicians believe that virtually all information is secret. Last January, for in- stance, a film produced by the National Film Board for Environment Canada at a cost to taxpayers of $50,000 was suppressed by Ottawa. - Astoundingly, the sup- ression was defended by nvironment Canada Minister Romeo LeBlanc. And what was the dreadful oduction from which we d to be shielded? Deep Throat? Bare Bosums at Botany Bay? An issue of National secrecy? It was none of these. It was called Forecast for Survival and showed the consequences of an oil spill at Cherry Point in Washington. It was finally released, but the dictorial attitude of politicians who imposed this censorship is unacceptable.” The executive director Bill Otway’s report said much the same, and also pointed out some real progress made: Pollution control at the Afton Copper Smelter, saving the famous Kootenay rainbow trout in . Gerrard River, degeating bill C-83 the infamous gun control bill, and the Federation experiencing exceptional growth.

Soupy now looking for job HAMILTON (CP) — For the first time in several years, Jerry (Soupy) Campbell finds himself having to expend his full energies in trying to win a job as a linebacker. ‘ Campbell was a Canadian Football League all-star for eight straight seasons at Ottawa before the Rough Riders gave up on him last year, Now he's trying to earn a position with Hamilton Tiger-Cats. “Im fightlng for a’ job from the No. 2 position and that forces you to work a little harder, be more alert and concentrate a bit more,’’ says the 32-year-old Campbell... “You do-a little more hustling. You can’t save yourself, You've gat to go full cut all the time. “During those years at Ottawa I'd go ta camp te work myself into shape. This year, though, I came to camp in shape. And if I make the team I suppose it'll be that much better since I’ll be ready to go in the first game.” Campbell's chances of gaining a position could be enhanced if coach Bob Shaw continues with the system he used last season—four linebackers behind three defensive linemen. Others in the Ticats camp seeking linebacker positions are veterans Kent Clark, Sam Britts and Gail Clarke and newcomers ° John Martini, Larry Brame, Sid Smith and Rich McClure. says jocks are dopey? are not the stuff a sporting type is made of. The study, done in her spare time, took more than a year to compile. Results showed athletic students have just as much brain as brawn. Full-time male students rticipating in team sports fave a grade point average of 2.38 compared with 2,42 for all maie attending the university, Female athletes scored the highest at 2.80, compared with 2.78 for all females attending SFU. More than 31 per cent of the athletes graduated, compared with 19.4 per cent of the general student body. “Teaching as 4 career has been chosen by these students athletes in much the same numbers as in the general student body,” she said. “All students, 17.7. per cent, and athletes, 15.4 per cent, had completed their teacher certification by December, 1975.” ATHLETES YOUNGER She found that over-all, students involved in sports are younger than the average university student, carry full academic loads and are more likely to graduate than students in general. “They are comparable in terms of academic grades and apparently select their courses and areas of study in much the same way as other students," she said. Reason for the athletes’ high academic standing might be because of the -daches' who warn the athlete to hit the books or-be struck off the team; the professor said. She added that good health may encourage better academic per- formance, but said that is only speculation. As for the female athletes she said there is less socla presaure on plete courses. If they are not doing well, they are more likely to drop out than the average male. them to com- . urs.

(CP) - Hocke player Ken Bueckert of Prince George was acquitted of assault Wed- nesday in provincial court after the judge ruled Bueckert’s actions were not intentional but occurred in the heat of the moment. Bueckert was charged after an altercation with Dawson Creek player Bob McInnis after McInnis bowled over the Prince George goalie during a Peace-Cariboo Junior Hockey League game Oct. 16. McInnis testified that while down on the ice, Bueckert struck him on the back of the neck with his stick and tried to gouge his eyes. Defence lawyer David Jenkins said Bueckert’s actions were retaliatory. The lawyer also said a cardinal rute in hockey is not to hit an opposing goaltender and when such an incident happens, retaliation is expected. The Crown contended Bueckert's actions were beyond the bounds of fair play. The Price Company Limited oth Messrs.
