Tate now
14, cham

JOHANNESBURG, South
Africa (AP) — John Tate,
clutching ‘a $27,000 gold belt
he got for winning the World
Boxlng Association
heavyweight crown 24 hours
earlier, insisted he still
doesn't feel Tike the real
champ.

“*T guess [ won't really feel
in my mind that I’m the
champ until I have both
titles,’ said Tale, who took
the WBA crown by winning a
unanimous decision over
South African Gerrie
Coetzee Saturday night.

Tate said at a Sunday night
hews conference he would
fight Larry Holmes, the
World Boxing Council
champ, “or anyone else,"

“Ain't nobody I won't
fight," said the 24-year-old
Tate whose face was un-
marked except for some’
puffiness around the eyes.
He said Coetzea never hurt
him during the 15-rounder,

The black heavyweight,
who beat a white South
African before an over-
whelmingly white crowd of
51,000 in this white minority.

ed country, olready is the
champ with many South Af-
rican blacks,

Before the news con-
ference a black woman ran
up to Tate ia the hotel lobby,
threw her arms around him
and said: “Tate, Tate, you
are the greatest,”

In Soweto, Johannesburg's
black satellite clty, revellera
raced through the town of
more than che million
residents Saturday night
blowing horns, shouting and
waking neighbors.

“Ws amazing,” said one
black who was dragged from
her bed to join the
celebrations, "I've never
seen anything like it in my
lite, [t's better than New
Year's Eve. [ wish John Tate
were here to see the support
he hae,”

Tate, who grew up in a
poor black neighborhood in
Knoxville, Tenn, has been
attacked in South Africa and
abroad by black critics of:
apartheid for agreeing to

fight here,
He has consistently
refused to be drawn into the

controversy. He clapped his
hands when a black sports
writer told him about the
Soweto celebration but sald
he had no complainta about
hia treatment in this country.

Bob Arum, who heads Top

Rank, Inc, which promoted
Tate's fight with Coetzee,
predicted Tate would beat
Holmes in the fall of 1990.

"It takes two to fight,” -

Arum said, ‘Holmes doesn't
want to loge his half of the
title, so the fight won't come’

’ until we have enough money

topay Holmes off for hip ha
of the title.”
Ace Miller, Tate's

manager, said: "We'll fight
Holmes next week. We're
ready.”

Holmes is rated the better
fighter by moat of the boxing
world, but Arum said Tate
would win for two reasons.

“He has the ability and
stamina, And he has the best
corner in the world.”

Tate's next fight moat
likely will be in February,
Arum said. Possible
challengers include Earnie
Shavers and Leon Spinks.

W’hawks

lose a
squeaker

’ ‘The Kitimat Winterhawka
had a rough night Saturday,
as the Prince Rupert Kings
came from behind In the
third period to win 5-4,

Although the Winterhawks
played well throughout the
game and ended up out-
shooting the Kings 30-21,
they lost thelr concentration
in the third period and gave
up a one goal lead. Rupert
scored both their unan-
swered third-period goals on
powerplays, with Gord
Stephens finally getting the
winner at 16-10 of the period.
Other scores for Rupert were
Mike Vannier with two, and
Bilt Etzerza and Dennis
Langdale tossing in singles.

Kitimat scorers were
Randy Schooley, Kevin
Trach, FRon Egan and Ron
Minaker. Coach Fred
Schooley sald that he was
happy with the team’s play
despite the loss, and that had
it not been for the powerplay
the Winterhawks could have
won it.

There were sixteen minor
penalties cailed in the game,
eight to each leam.

Next game for the win-
terhawks will be in Terrace
on Wednesday, as they try to
avenge a 9-4 loss last week in
exhibition play.

The Terrace Timbermen
had a successful start to
their 1979 season on the

« weekend, winning two road

games in Houston and
Smithers.

Saturday night the Tim-
bermen staged a third-
period rally to beat the
Houston Luckies 7-5, largely
on the efforts of Lee
Marleau. Marleau had four
goals in the game, two In the
first period and the last two
goals of the game, the

“ winner and the insurance

marker,

The Luckies opened the
scoring at 2:00 of the first
when Wes Westgarde scored.
Marieau tied it at 4:31,
Westgarde broke the tie at
10:51 and Marleau tied it
again 14:00, Houston’s John
Kusliniryk put them ahead
at 19:08 of the second, with

° that perlod’s only goal,

Dave Sharpe tied the score
al 3-3 with a powerplay goal
at 3:50, with the Luckies two
men short, Brad Riley put
Terrace ahead with another
powerplay goal at 4:30,
before Dave Stumpf tied it
for the Luckies at 5:51. Joe
Smoley pul the Timbermen
ahead again at 11:48, before
Kirby Balfour knotted the
score again at 14:30,

This set the stage for
Marleau’s heroics. Marleau,
who narrowly missed giving
the Timbermen a dramatic
comeback win over Prince
Rupert two Sundays ago at
home, scored at 14:52 and
again at 19:26, giving
Terrace the win, The Tim-
bermen were outshot 43-30 in
the game, 21-10 in the third
period.

It was a cosily win in one
way though, as the Tim-
bermen lost the services of
new goaltender Mike Susak
with what 4 Houston doctor
diagnosed as torn knee
ligaments with 1:30 left to
Play in the game. If the
diagnosis stands, Susak will
be gone for at least six
weeks, jolning Rick Kennedy
on the sidelines. Kennedy
Injured his knee in the
Rupert game a week ago,
and will not be back for at
least a month.

Terrace is also without
Blair Pritchard, who rein-
jured his ankle in Sunday's 6-
3 win over Smithers.

Jerry Lamming, who
made several good saves in
the last minute of the
Saturday game to preserve

uN

the win, played again Sun-
day as the Timbermen built
up a 6-0 lead halfway through
the second period and a 9-1
lead at the end, before en-
ding up with the win,
Terrace didn't score until
11:25 of the first period,
when Lance Legouffe put
them ahead with a shor-
thanded goal, but once they
started they didn’t stop,
Smoley scored two goals in a
row, the first at 11:59 and the

Second at 16:41, and Doug
Linton’ finished the period

- with a goal at 18:17.

Greg Kiryliuk scored at
8:36 of the second period

‘when the Timbermen had a

two man advantage, and

Frank MeKendry made the’

score 60 on a one-man
powerplay. The Totems
finally got on the board at
12:16 when Bill Baratt
scored, but Doug Linton,

- Timbermen start off right _

Marleau and Kiryliuk scored’
before the end of the period
to give the Timbermen all
the offense they needed for
the win.

Unfortunately, there was
still a period left to play and,
while the Timbermen fell
asleep, the Totems woke up.
Terrace had outshot
Smithers 33-16 during the
first two periods but were
outshot 17-6 in the third. |

Timbermen - publicity
director Terry Grimm said
that the team had nine goals
and decided that the game
was over, forcing Lamming
to play very well in the third
to keep the Totems from
storing any More than two.
Mark Perry tallied at 2:08
and Dan Skinner at 8:07 to
finish the game's scoring.

The game featured two
fights, and a match penalty
to Smithers goalie Dave
Mecutcheon, when he
reportedly butt-ended a
Terrace defenceman, Gord
Cochrane in front of the net.
The referee felt that the
infraction was fairly serious,
and threw Mecutcheon out.

Grimm said that the team
was particularly impressed
with the play of Greg
Paulson. He played both
games on defence, and did
very well all weekend.
Grimm also sald that the
powerplay was much better
than it has been, accounting
for four goals over the
weekend, .

The Timbermen's next
game will be Wednesday
night at the Terrace arena,
when they host the Kitimat
Winterhawks.
