Bruins clean up By THE CANADIAN PRESS When discussing «the rampaging Boston Bruins, the statistics _ Speak for themselves. Unbeaten in their ‘last 11 National Hockey League games, ‘the Bruins have fiven up just six goals in their last six games—all _victories— including the three consecutive shutouts they carried into weekend ac- tion. And in their most recent victory, a 41 triumph Sunday night over St. Louis Blues, the Bruins allowed just 10 shots on goaltender Gilles Gilbert. Over the last five games, they have per- mitted opponents a total of 75 shots on their goal, an average of 15 per contest and about half the league average. e only interruption lo what could haye been an ll-game winning streak was a 4-4 tie Nov. 17 with Vancouver Canucks—a game in which the Bruins came back from a 4-2 deficit with two goals 10 seconds apart in the final two minutes of the con- test. ‘ All in all, quite a stretch for the Bruins, who won only two of their first eight games this season, SHUTOUTBID SPOILED “I wish we could play that way to the end of the season,” said Gilbert, whose bid for a third consecutive shutout was ruined by Brian Ogilvie’s power-play goal at 17:47 of the second period Sunday night. “It’s too bad. I wish I could have had another shutout because this was an easy night.” Gilbert had shut out Washington Capitals 6-0 and . Chicago Black Hawks 1-0 in his previous two appearances. In other NHL games Sunday, Philadelphia Flyers blanked Los Detroit Red Wings 4-1 and Buffalo Sabres nipped New York Rangers 3-2. Ric Sell Wine” Llanes Ted A scared 5 On Saturday; — the Bruins edged New York Rangers 3-2, Washington tied Toronto Maple Leafs 44, Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Islanders 5-2, Mostreal. Canadi ‘downed Detroit 31; St. Louis Blues nipped Cleveland Barons 2-1, Chicago tied Vancouver Canucks 2-2 and Colorado Rockies and Minnesota North Stars played to a 4- 4 draw. - Boston coach Don Cherry said he is pleased with his team’s per- formance. : PAYING CHECKING — OFF “We kept forechecking, which is a good sign,” he said. “Last year we'd get up 3-0 and we'd fall back and kind of fall asleep a little bit and the next thing you know they’d pop in two and we'd be in a dog fight again.” That hasn't heen happening recently. The Bruins took a 3-0 lead on goals by Brad Park, Bobby Schmautz and Wayne Cashman, then got one from Don Mar- eotte after Ogilvie scored. After allowing the Rangers just 12 shots in Saturday's victory, the Bruins permitted St. Louis just two in the first period, three in the second and five in the third. “You can't score any goals unless you shoot,” observed St. Louis coach Leo Boivin: “We had 10 shots. When you play like they did, you're not going to lose too many hockey games.” ‘Mel Bridgman and Ross Lonsberry scored, while Wayne Stephenson blocked 17 Los Angeles shots for his third shutout of .the season, carrying Philadelphia to victory. Pat Price and J. P. Parise scored goals 22 seconds apart in the third period, lifting the Islanders over Detroit. i iling, —_ Gil nm Kuce Lperiod goals in a span of 3% minutes, leading Buffalo past the Rangers. by Jim Culp L Because my column last week was late getting published, the subject matter was somewhat out of date. As a result, my guest article for this week, by Peter Broomhai, is not as I had indicated about a recent fishing trip, — but rather a fishing trip that took place during the first week in October of this year. The main street of Terrace as seen from the Lakelse Coffee Shop, quietly says a great deal about the town. It’s proba ly much the same the world over. The town’s forefathers had the foresight to plant various. breeds of shade trees down one side of the street. The trees also serve to shield the eyes from the small buildings which boldly face the street. The buildings are mainly facades — brick, stucco and glass faces. - The facades momentarily obscure the humble frame realities which lurk behind them. It’s what's up front that counts. ; What was up front in the minds of the town’s forefathers will likely never be known. But they did choose a beautiful setting. As the name implies, Terrace is a place of benchlands. The Skeena River, lower and clearer than ever now, winds its way past the town toward Prince Rupert — and the sea. It’s a rich river valley, and doubtless the first set- tlers relied heavily on the river's riches. It's that sense of opportunism, of utility, which is mirrored in the facedes. And the trees lining the street — aliens as some of them are — hint at a lack of concern for the natural, indigenous wealth of the valley. There’s even a danger that the Terrace-Kitimat folk will probably fight like hell to waste much of what they now have. Many seem determined to have an oil pipeline here. And if the pipeline does go through, it scar the landscape and, even where it might be hidden in the river bottems, it will damage salmon and trout runs. The up-front dollars, the fast bucks, have always been too much for man to resist. That much is even seen in the attitudes of some of the local and visiting fishermen. Too many seem in- capable of letting any of their catch go. Too many seem anxious only to drag their fish ashore to ki them. Too few seem to realize how magnificent these visitors from the sea really are. That many fishermen kill far more than they can use is quickly evident. That they might quickly sell out what might better be saved is equally evident. And so it goes... If the oil pipeline goes, it doubtless will be run Eskimos wondered fas ser 332 seaies te ascers se wl se if anyone cared By JOHN SHORT MONTREAL (CP) — Moving carefully in the dressing room because of a painful rib injury, Edmonton Eskimos fullback Jim German paused Sunday to tal about the 63,205 fans who watched Montreal Alouettes whij the Eskimos 41-6 in the Grey © Cup final. “Didn't anyone care about them?” he asked. etagh to anyone care enou put a tarpaulin on the field?” Germany came out of the game and his ribs were diagnosed as broken after he attempted to corral a ball following a fumble by quarterback Tom Wi second quarter. . “I got hit three or four times on the play. I was. hit in the same spot on an earlier play. “May the fumble wouldn’t have: happened if the ball hadn't been so slick. Germany agreed with his team-mates that inson in the | Edmonton had no ex-: cuses—‘“‘the field didn't peat us, Montreal did’— but insisted the crowd, largest in Grey Cup history, was cheated of what could have been an interesting contest. Edmonton Jost four of five fumbles and had four passes Montreal lost three fumbles and had one pass picked off. Defensive tackle Dave - Fennell, whose unit failed to contro] seasoned Montreal _ quarterback Sonny Wade, said the Eskimos were not sur- prised by formations or tactics. “We knew they were going to throw a lot of aws and screens and we controlled those plays pretty well,” said Fen- nell, “It was their rollout passing. They kept everyone in to block. . Wade found his receivers. He played well and he. had time to throw the ball.” . }. Badminton tournie soon The annual “Fun Vournament” of the Terrace Badminton will be held this Sunday, December 4th at the Thornhill Jr. High School gym.

It is time the angler turned his attention toward steelhead. Thave been fortunate to walk the streams — with my frind and guide Jim Culp — for several days. We have visited beautiful places, places where pipelines might go. And we have felt terror, terror of the ultimate.costs of pipelines and quick dollars. And we have found fish — enough to satisfy any angler. And beautiful fish they were. There is, in fishing, a great deal which is deeply personal, For me, the “‘ne plus ultra” is to have a steelhead take the fly. On this trip, water conditions have been such that I’ve been able to fish exclusively with the fly. And I’ve been handsomely rewarded. My Vancouver angling acquaintances would be envious. Tome, there are few angling thrills capable of equally that of. having a five to fifteen pound trout sieze the fly at the apex of its swing across. a cool, clean river. There are few visual treats capable of matching that of seeing a silver-sided steelhead thrust its way into the air, scattering showers of spray across the river. And there are few moments as sad as that which oc- curs when it is realized that all this, too, might pass. There are, also, some paradoxical sensations. The feeling of being a giver of life (or, at least, not being a taker of life) is often balanced by an awareness of how frail, how puny, how moribund we all are. I’ve long loved tweelhead, and it’s been several years now since Pve killed one. But one of the fish which so recently shared its magic with me did not go free. He had taken the fly deeply, and the hook ruptured one of his gill rakers. Even before he came to the riverbank, he had ven much of his life’s blood to the river. I had to kill im, and in doing so, I was reminded of how all of us inevitably tread the path of the hunter, and how quickly and how unbidden death can come. The angler’s line is a thin thread which reaches into the heart of mysteries. The angler’s places are quiet places, places which speak loudly to an inner hunger which never can be salisified by glitter and tinsel. el er ee) —— JIMS TACKLE SHOP Are you looking for a good quality fishing rod and reel for a Christmas gift?

Sweet kicked six field goals, had two singles and converted all three Montreal touchdowns in the Alauettes' 41-6 win over Edmonton Eskimos in a game that saw 25 Grey Cup records broken or tied. The 29-year-old Van- couver native, who won the Eastern Conference scoring race this season, set the following in- dividual marks: -—Most points scored career in Grey Cup games, 45, breaking the revious mark of 30 held y Joe Krol of Toronto Argonauts. —Most points in a single game, 23. The former record of 22 was held by Jim Van Pelt of Winnipeg Blue Bombers in a game against Hamilton TigerCats at Vancouver in 1958. ‘——Most field goals career in the Grey Cup, 12, improving Sweet’s previous record of six. —Most field goals in a single game, six, breaking his mark of four in a game against Ed- monton in 1974. “T told the guys before the game that these Grey Cups always come down to the kicking game,’’ Sweet said in the Mon- treal dressing room. "But I'd be just as happy if they gave me four or five converts and that’s all,’’ Sweet has scored. 23 points on one other oc- casion but it was in a pre- season game. In addition, helped Montreal establish two team records for field goals and a third mark for two teams in the final: —Most career . field goals, 15, breaking the previous mark of 11 held y Winnipeg. —Most field goals in a single game, six, im- proving the mark of four established by Sweet in 1974, —Most field goals by Sweet two teams in a single . game, eight, breaking the previous mark of five _ established on three other occasions, The attendance of 68,205 at Olympic Stadium also set a Grey Cup record. The record of 53,467 had been established last year at Exhibition Stadium in Toronto. Four other individual - marks were set or tied, three of them by defensive back Vern Perry of Montreal. Perry’s 74-yard return of a Bruce Lemmerman pass in the fourth quarter combined with an earlier 14-yard return put. him into the Grey Cup record book for most yards on interception return career and in a single game. Both marks—54 yards each— were previously held by Dick Thornton of the Argonauts, who achieved the feat in 1971 against Calgary Stam- peders at Vancouver. Perry's two in- terceptions also tied him for the record for most interceptions in a single game set on five previou occasions. The other individual record is one that Lemmerman will not cherish. He was in- tercepted four times Sunday, tying Sam_ Et- cheverry’s record from the 1956 game. Other team marks established or tied Sunday: By Montreal: —Most pass com- pietions in Grey Cup istory, 136, . tying Hamilton’s total.

THE HERALD, Tuesday, November 29, 1977, PAGE 5 Alouettes over] oyed Hy SCOTT ABBOTT MONTREAL (CP) — The celebration in M oO dressing room after their 41-6 triumph over Ed- monton Eskimos Sunday in the Grey Cup football game was somewhat subdued, whether because it had long since seemed sure or because the club had firmly be- lieved it was destined to win, . The margin of victory, however, was as much of a surprise to the Alouettes players as to anyone else. “When it rains, it ours,’ said utility ineman Gary Chown, who didn't know the final score. “That's amazing to beat Edmonton like that. But when we were up by 10 or 13 points, we didn't let up, we just kept coming at them.” Despite the handcap of the field’s condition— hard and slippery with ice—head coach Marv Levy said he had wanted his players concentrating nn the Eskimos, not the elements or other items. “I told them when we came -back in here just before the game that the Eskimos were our con- cern, nothing else,’’ Levy said. ‘‘I told them the field conditions were going to make some strange things happen ang not to worry about i aad HAD SLIM LEAD Montreal dominated the first half but led by only 10-3, although even that didn’t worry him, Levy said. “T don’t think there was time to worty,’’ he said of the intermission. ‘'We were talking about their defence and what we wanted to do ourselves. It wasn’t an emotional experience at ail.” Levy, never one to take anything for granted, admitted feeling sure of victory only with’ less than two minutes to play, but he relented somewhat. “‘By late in the third quarter I knew we'd have to have a disaster to lose. But Indidn't want one.” Running back John O’Leary, who carried nine times for 40 yards and caught six passes for 90 more in an outstanding performance, said the cold weather and field conditions constituted “the worst conditions I’ve ever played in.”’ “They ut this chemical on the field that was supposed to thaw it out, but it made the ball slippery. It was un- believable. You just couldn't hold on to it. That’s why there were ali ‘ those fumbles.” WANTS TO TALK Starting quarterback Sonny Wade, who threw three touchdown passes among his 22 completions in 40 pass attempts, said he would like to “sit down and talk things over'” with team owner Sam Berger about a new contract, Wade enters the option year of his current agreement in 1978 and has been reported to be looking elsewhere. The nine-year veteran, voted the most valuable player in the Canadian Football League championship game for the third time, gave good marks to Edmonton middie linebacker Dan Kepley, the season's best defensive player in balloting y sport- swriters. “He's a fine football player,” Wade said - of Kepley. “He knocked one touchdown pass away from Larry Smith.” But O'Leary was getting loose against Kepley to good effect, Wade said. ‘‘l realized they were trying to cover O'Leary with Kepley and it’s almost impossible for him to cover. He's the middle linebacker while O'Leary’s the right halfback and in motion. There’s no way Kepley can cover him," MISSED ONE Placekicker Don Sweet, who kicked a record 23 points in the game, including six field goals, another mark, said he had thought the one attempt he missed was going to be good. “Thit that ball well and I figured it was good. But it just blew or something and went off to the left.” showing was a heavier workload than Sweet would have been satisfied with, however. “T told the guys before the game that these Grey Cups always come down to the’ kicking gamevand: I'd be just .as--happy:“if! they gave me four or five eenverts and that’s al.” In brief WOMAN WINS VANCOUVER (CP) — Doris Bloomfield of Victoria won $100,000 Friday in the Lucky Leo Lottery draw but said she was too surprised to say what she will do with the money.
