Many factors contribute to
local soccer growth _

There are many con-
tributing factors for the
growth in soccer interest in
the Terrace area says Brian
Dorrington.

“It's a cheap sport to
play,” says the coordinator
of mens soccer in the area.

“A kid gets fitted out to
play hockey and it costs $120
for skates, pads and
registration. For soccer all
you need is a pair of
sneakers and ball and 22 kids
are happy.”

Another reason for soc-
cer’s popularity locally is the

many ethie backgrounds in -

Terrace, says Dorrington.

He estimates 60 to75 percent
af the players in the league
are ethnics.

“1: personally am British. ~

I'm 26 and have played team

soccer for 21 years. I played

ny first team soccer at
ve,"

Dorrington adds TV
coverage of soccer games

has also increased the
publics interest in the sport.

‘"What I think helped is the .

German soccer games on
KCTS channel nine from
Seatile.”’

Dorrington says at the
present time there are eight
teams in the mens soccer
league. In the minor league
there are 22 teams with 375

-kids registered ranging in

ages from § to 17, He adds
even the girls are trying to
get into the act.

No 1980 Olympic Games
in Los Angeles? |

LOS ANGELES (CP) —
Mayor Tom Bradley said
Juesday he wiil recommend
to city council that it with-
draw its bid to hold the 1984
Summer Olympic Games.
- Bradley said in a
statement his decision
followed a letter he received
from Lord  Killanin,
president of the In-

ternational Olympic Com-
mittee (IOC), turning down a
proposal by the city to give
financial responsibility for.

the Games to a private:

committee.
Killanin’s letter said the
city’s final offer *'does not

Fishing report

By Don Pearson - Custom
Sports
The high tide this morning

was 2:35 p.m. al 14.6 ft and
low tide at 8:15 a.m. of .01 ft.

Douglas Channel fishing
yesterday was done in good
weather with a good number
of fish coming In.

Fish came from Jessie
Falls, Sue Channel and the
south side of Loretta Island.

The fish seemed: to be a

mixture of Coho, Springs and
Pinks. As the Coho move into
Douglas Channel and more
time is spent on this fish, it-
should be remembered when
fishing for Coho, one has to
trali quite fast, as Coho are
yery active feeders.

Crab fishing is good now
most crabs have changed
they're shells and regain
most of they're body weight.’

ceptable," .
Tuesday's évents ended
months of negotiations

between the cily and the
IOC. The basis of the dispute

“was that the city wanted a

private group to take
financial responsibility for
@ Games, a proposal which
ran contrary to IOC rules.
Bradley's recom- —
mendation must be approved

-by city council before the

city's bid is officially with-
drawn,

It has been the position of
the JOC to stand fast on its
rule that a host city must
accept financial respon-
sibility.

Killanin said Los Angeles
“should be in a position to
hold the Games at a
minimum cost in view of all
the facilities which already
exisl,.. but the IOC must
protect itself for the future
and not compromise itsel*
with other cities.”

“Last year we had 20 girls
registered and couldn’t find
a coach so we had {to give
them back their §5
registration fee.”

Dorrington would like to
remind anyone interested
thereis a meeting tonight for
coaches and prospective
coaches for minor soccer.
The meeting will be held in
the senior citizens room of
the arena at 7:30. A one
hour [iim of Pele’s coaching
and playing methods will be
shown at this meeting.

Jones defeats:.Riders

HAMILTON ‘CP) —

. Quarterback Jimmy Jones,

benched at the start of the
game for only the second
lime in three years, guided
Hamilton Tiger-Cats to 16
fourth-quarter points and a
27-23 Canadian Football
League victory over
Saskatchewan Roughriders
on Wednesday night.

Down 23-11, Hamilton
Kicker Nick Jambrosic’ got
one point back on the. first
play of the quarter on a
missed field-goal attempt.
Then. Jones, who
languished on the bench for‘
most of the game, took over
from young Tom Shuman be-
fore a crowd of 22,746.

Keyed by the veteran’s
passing, that included gains
of 37 yards to Lawrie
Skolrood and 4 to Kerry
Smith, the Ticats moved in
four plays from their own

‘one-yard line to the Sas-

katchewan 27. Jones,
throwing two incomplete
passes, gamblwn and hit
Rocky DiPietro with a touch-
down pass, then ran a two-
point conversion with 3%
minutes remaining.

The Ticats regained the
hall one minute later on their
own 39-yard line, and Jones

took eight plays to move in

for another ‘score, this one a
five-yard pass te running
back John Kinch.

Jimmie Edwards caught
an 18-yard pass from
Shuman for the other.
Hamilton touchdown.
Shuman later passed to Skol-
rood for the two-point con-
version. Jambrosic com-
pleted the Ticats’ i
with a 32-yard field goal and
converted the final score.

Saskatchewan, which had
dominated the first half
behind playing coach Ron

had,

Lancaster, lost its
momentum in the third
quarter with rookie Larry
Dick calling the plays at
quarterback,

Lancaster, 1f-year CFL
veteran, scored the first Sas-
katchewan touchdown, the
other going to Mike
Strickland, both on one-yard
runs. Kicker Bob Macoritti
added the other 11 points
with two converts and field
goals covering 49, 29 and 14

- yards,

Jones, who had started ail
but one regular season game
since joining the Ticats prior
to the 1976 seasdn, said he
wasn't disturbed about being
benched.

JONES ANXIOUS

“Before the game started
the coach (Tom Dimietroff)
said he would be utilizing

both quarterbacks,” Jones
said. “After all, Tom got
three touchdowns in our las.
game. I was anxicus, but
Tom had a hot hand."

Whatever hot hand
Shuman held was soon
cooled off, and while he was
able to generate Edwards’
scoring play in the third
quarter, it was only after
Jones took over in the fourth
that the Ticats were able to
sustain their offence.

The Hamilton offence, able
to produce just five first
downs in the opening half,
ended the game with 22 while
the Roughriders came up
with just four first downs in
me second half and 18 over
all,

The Riders aided in their
own downfall by taking five
penalties in the crucial

juurth quarter and finished
the game with 145 yards in
penalties to just 84 for
Hamilton.

Both defences came up
strong against the rushing
game, Strickland leading in
that department with 9&9
yards on 15 carries while
Edwards was held to 56
yards, also on 15 carries.

Hamilton's Ken Clark, the
CFL's leading punter last
season, took a back seat in
this game te Macoritti of the
Roughriders.

The Saskatchewan kicker
averaged more than 46 yards
on seven kicks, including one
that he retrieved after it
sailed at least 15 yards over
his head, while Clark had to
settle for a 41.5 average on
five kicks.

Bassett: junior hockey
hasn't seen nothing yet

TORONTO (CP) — Uwner
Join F. Basdett of Bir-
mingham Bulls, saying that
junior hockey in Canada
hasn’t seen anything yet,
returned to Alabama on
Wednesday night with a

- commitment to sign six

outstanding teen-age players
to his World Hockey
Association club.

Bassett said lawyer’ Alan
Eagleson delivered ‘‘air-
tight’? - one-year com.
mitments for defenceman.
Robert Ramage of London

Knights; defenceman Craig

Hartburg of Sault Ste. Marie
Greyhounds; defenceman
Gaston Gingras of Brantford

‘Alexanders: right winger

Rick Vaive of Sherbrooke
Beavers; right winger Keith
Crowder of Peterborough
Petes and goaltender Pat
Riggin of London Knights.

As players under 20 years,
all normally would be unable
to turn professional until at
least next year but Bassett
said Wednesday he had little

time to listen to junior

hockey law.

“As far as junior hockey is
concerned, I will continue to
defy their laws until they
start conforming with the
laws of Canada,’’ Bassett
said. These kids can go to
jail and drink booze. I don't
see how a little hockey is
going to hurt them,

“Birmingham Bulls . are
going to have an excellent
and exciting hockey club, I
guarantee you that. I’ve got
six of these so-called under-
agers now. I've got a little
more planned.

“If junior hockey
operators are upset at the
calibre of team they will

have for the world junior

championships (in Steck-
holm next year) maybe they
should ask the Birmingham
Bulls to represent Canada.”

The contracts for the six
players expire in one year,
allowing the players the
freedom to entertain offers
from the National Hockey
League.

Rose five shy of hitting record
