’ WHL entrv has whole new

Jo0k, Tight down to a change dn the squad’s name. -

Thig year's team will ‘be called the Terrace Tim- bermen. ‘A contest was held eariler in the year to pick a mame for the club, with the Timbermen being the winning title.

The team features quite a few players who are young, but have extensive ex- perience in the PNWHL. | Though just 19 years old, Lance Legouile is a familiar face to most Terrace hockey ‘fans, as he already has four years of experience in the league, having played for the Terrace entry since the days they ‘were called the Cen- tennials. He'll be adding a lot of strength down the middle.

Another forward returning is Barry Heit, who has been giving opposing defencemen fits with his smooth skating and Guy Lafleur-like moves the past three seasons. Also ‘pldyihg forward will be Blair Pritchara, Drew Faris, Dave‘ Bell, Steve Radford, Doug Matheson, Robert Dempster, Guy Glaim, and Troy Farkvam.

Heading the blue line corps will be rugged Gord Cochrane, a tough customer will versed. in the arl of keeping opposing forwards honest. A newcomer to watch on defence will be 19 year old Bob Grant, who has played Junior A hockey with the Nanaimo Clippers. Rounding out the defence will be Keith Colwill, Bruce Jamieson, and Art Herman. The goalkeepers include Kim,* Geddes, who has played Jr. A hockey in Calgary, and 17 year old Rob

.

Dozzo, who has played minor Rep hockey for the past six seasons.

Coaching the Timbermen will be their owner, Dale Kushner, himself a,former Terrace player who is also involved with the Skeena Cedar Kings mens fastball team.

The timbermen kick off the season tonight at 8:20 in the Terrace Arena, with an exhibition game against the Totem Ford Reps, a team cf Commercial League All- Stars. They play another exhibition contest in the Arena Saturday at 8:30, P.M. this time against the Kitimat Winterhawks. Admission for .these games will be $3.00 for adults, $1.50 for students, and 75 cents for children under 12: Season tickets are available at the arena office Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, for #45 each, . and well worth the price.

When that wild iter was over, the Dodgers @ series 2-1 on the ‘way to handing the Phillies their second straight playoff elimination. Dodgers broke infront with two runs on four hits off Christenson in the second in- ning, only. to fall behind in, the bottom of the inning when Philadelphia scored

three runs on two hits and four straight walks by Hooton. '

On Tuesday, during an off- day workout, Christenson said he remembered that game. . ..

“It’s the same-situation,” he said ‘of the pitching matchup, but that's as far as he was willing to draw a: comparison,
