SPORT The Calgary Herald FRJDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1975 PAGE 34 sir Liske pulls bomb on Winnipeg Jim COLEMAN Cut sV' -H secfred on a 19-yard pass from Chuck Eagley just 31 seconds into the fourth quarter, cutting B.C.'s lead to 22-17. Winnipeg threatened again, only to have the Lions' Grady Cavness intercept an Ealey pass in the end zone. Liske then guided the Lions to midfield and capped a brilliant performance by hitting veteran receiver Jim Young with a 51-yard touchdown pass at 9:38. Wintermeyer converted two of the B.C. touchdowns and added a single on a wide field goal attempt.

Ruoff converted the only Winnipeg major score and also added a single on a 13-yard punt. Winnipeg controlled most of the first halt with its strong running game. The Lions' defence was tough against the pass and seemed to rise to the occasion when the Bombers were inside midfield. The Lions worked on the Winnipeg secondary in the second half with much success. Harris pulled away from Merv Walker for his touchdown and Clarkson got behind Ray Odums for the second major.

B.C. was twice called for holding on the drive which led to Bailey's touchdown. Liske avoided a strong rush and threw to Bailey in the left flat and Bailey just simply ran away from Al Brenner for the score. Liske picked on Winnipeg rookie Don Bow-; man for the last major, with Y'oung running a perfect pass pattern to elude Bowman. The victory was the second in seven games' for the Lions and broke a two-game losing streak.

B.C. is still in last place, two points behind Calgary Stampeders. The loss was the bird straight for the Bombers and evened their record at 4-4. Winnipeg is two points behind both Edmonton Eskimos and Saskatchewan Roughriders. Liske completed nine of 12 passes in the second half to finish the game with 12 of 21 for 310 yards.

Clarkson was his favorite receiver, catching four for 116 yards. Young caught three passes for 89 yards. The Lions had a total offence of 491 yards. Harris led all "rushers with 142 yards on 20 carries. The Bombers finished with a total offence of 335 yards.

Ealey completed 13 of 21 passes for 166 yards, with Jim Washington catching six passes for 49 yards. Tight end Brian Jack added three receptions for 40 yards. Washington led the Winnipeg ground with 89 yards on 17 carries. The Lions lost rookie defensive back Doug Carlson with a broken arm in the third, quarter. Carlson was activated just before the game, replacing wide receiver Brock Ayn-sley, who went on the injured reserve list.

The teams play again Tuesday in Winnipeg. B.C. 29 WINNIPEG 17 VANCOUVER (CP) Veteran quarterback Peter Liske directed a once-sputtering British Columbia offence to four second-half touchdowns Thursday night as the Lions upset Winnipeg Blue Bombers 29-17 in a Western Football Conference game. Liske brought the Empire Stadium crowd of 17,073 to its feet by throwing three touchdown passes to help give Cal Murphy a victory in his first game as head coach of the Lions. -Winnipeg led 9-1 at the half on thre field goals by Bernie Ruoff.

The Lions managed just four first downs in the opening half and just 78 total yards. Lou Harris, got the Lions back into the game at 2:58 of the third quarter when he broke a tackle and got to the outside or a 36-yard touchdown run. The Lions attempted a two-point conversion and were ruled successful when Winnipeg defensive back Al Brenner was guilty of pass interference on Terry Bailey of the Lions in the end zone. That tied the score at 9-9. Liske then threw a 58-yard scoring pass to wide receiver Ross Clarkson and a 53-yard touchdown strike to running back Bailey to give the Lions a 22-10 lead after three quarters.

The Blue Bombers got back into the game when rookie running back Steve Beaird PETER LISKE SHOWS WAY completes 12 of 21 for 310 yards Shatto takes competitive plunge again cern and discussion with my parents." From a careijr standpoint, it was worth it. Cindy blossomed into this country's most promising young diver and won 'gold medals in national meets in 1972 and 1973. One year ago, at the 1974 national summer diving championships, she placed 12th in the one-metre, seventh in the 10-metre and third in the three-metre events. "People tried to talk to me but I wasn't listening. My two my life and competition.

When I practise I'll be 100-per-cent athlete, but home I can now think and talk of uther things I hope." Cindy insists that her attitude is more positive now than it has ween in years, but she doesn't predict a plete reversal in her perform-' ance at the summer nationals this weekend. "But if I do poorly it will be because of a lack of practice, not iny attitude. It's only been a couple of weeks since I wanted to start psrforming again, and although I'm" happy with the progress, I hesitate to promise "My goal is the Olympics and I will put everything I have into that. But in one year I will probably, quit and return to school and try some of those things I think I've missed." The first step follows this meet in Calgary when Cindy breaks from her coach's home and moves into an 'apartment with a girl friend. "I'm really looking forward to that.

Mr. Webb has been wonderful over the years, but I've been eating, breathing and sleeping diving." She is confident the independence will improve her diving, certainly her attitude. "Now I can separate the 3 TORONTO THE QUESTION How come that this season's games in the Western Conference of the Canadian Football League are vastly more entertaining than the games which are played in the Eastern Conference? Is it possible that the polluted air in the industrialized cities of the East, deleteriously affects the lung capacity of the football players as well as clouding their brains in moments of crisis? Or, can it be explained simply by the possible fact that the Western quarterbacks are superior to the Eastern quarterbacks? Or, how else can you explain why those Western quarterbacks are coming up with "the big play" to score victories in the final minute of many games which have been played this year? Don't you agree that, if voting for "Coach of The Year" was conducted this week, the selectors would have to give prime consideration to silent George Brancato of the Ottawa Rough Riders? Can you think of any. team. Ottawa excepted, which has compiled a 4-and-3 record with 15 changes in the lineup this season? Isn't it ironic that, when we finally get two Canadian head coaches in the CFL, Russ Jackson at Toronto and CaJ Murphy at B.C.

their teams are mired in last place in their respective divisions? Has anyone here seen Kelly? Do vou believe those egghead economists who predict that the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal are going to pour millions of dollars of foreign money into the Canadian economy? If you accept that theory, what are vour views on Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny arid the Tooth Fairy? FAMOUS LAST WORDS DEPARTMENT: Two years ago, Ea.gle Keys of the B.C. Lions and his former Regina assistant. Jack Gotta, who was coaching the Ottawa Rough Riders, used to chat amiably on the long distance telephone every week. They engaged in some mild ribbing. Eagle used to say: "Jockol my boy, if you stick with Rick Cassata as your quarterback, he's going to get you fired." And.

Gotta used to retort: "Eagle, if you stick with Don Moorhead as YOUR quarterback, he's going to get YOU fired before Cassata gets me fired." The record books reveal that Gotta's Ottawa Rough Riders won the Grey Cup in 1973, with Rick Cassata playing quarterback. While the cheering still was echoing on Parliament Hill, Gotta accepte'd the job of coaching the Birmingham team in the newly-formed World Football League. Cassata did little to enchant Ottawa successor, George Bran-cato, and few tears were shed when Cassata departed from Ottawa at the end of rtie 1974 season. Meanwhile, Eagle Keys stubbornly stuck with Don Moorhead as his first-string quarterback in Vancouver. It was ironic that, in the game which finally cost Eagle his coaching job (last week's 10-to-34 defeat at Edmonton) Moorhead was injured seriously5.

Moorhead now has undergone knee surgery and he's "through" for the season. And, after 26 seasons as a player and coach in the Canadian League, the Eagle is unemployed. ONE-SHOT-WILL-DO-IT DEPARTMENT: I witnessed the "shot" which ended the football career of Charlie Collins, linebacker for the Saskatchewan Roughriders it occurred on the final play of the first quarter, in the B.C.-Saskatche-wan game at Regina on Sunday, Aug. 10 Lou Harris, of the Lions, ran a right-end sweep and Charlie tackled him so hard that Harris had to be carried from the field But, Collins was on "queer street" after that tackle he played throughout the remainer of the game but he was in a fog Later a Regina doctor told me: "Charlie should quit football. One more shot of that type could inflict permanent damage to his nerve-system" Yesterday, Collins agreed to hang no his cleats Here's a tip: watch out for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats who, although they lack a power-runner, are improving swiftly And, it is in the oftened-ignored "fundamentals" of football that they're improving Their do'wnfield coverage and tackling on punts and kickoffs in their last game (vs.

Cindy said trie visible disappointment of her father was perhaps the saddest of all.

Dick Shatto, one of Canada's premier running backs through a dozen years with the Toronto Argonauts, has always been a perfectionist and couldn't understand the reversal in attitude of his daughter. "He was just so good at his job, always putting out 100 per cent, he found it difficult to believe me when I said I was no longer interested in diving." Cindy began comparing lifestyles with that of her older sister Becky female athlete of the year in high school, but without the pressures and demands of international competitions. "Her life just started to look better than mine, so good in fact that my heart just wasn't in diving anymore. I slacked off at practice and that soon showed up during the meets." Gradually she began coming back. "I started to think of the positive things travel throughout the world and the great people I wouldn't have met otherwise." The final push toward a positive attitude came just weeks ago from Bev Boys, Canada's pjemier woman diver.

"I've always respected Bev what she says, and what she stands for. Let's just say she helped put me back together again, and I appreciate it." Cindy still isn't misty-eyed at the thought of a lifetime diving career. By Ken Hull Herald Staff Writer! Adrenalin is boiling through Cindy Shatto's veins, and she loves the feeling. She is pleased wjth the knots of tension that twist through her stomach, and those unrelenting dreams that jolt the solitude of sleep. It all means that she is ready, and that translates into a state of condition that shunned this pretty diving sensation throughout most of 1974 and into this year.

Cindy, by her own admission, has just climbed from the depressive pits of a "low" a period in her young life when competitive diving lost the sparkle that had brightened most of her 18 years. Her performances in several national and international meets just barely reflected the talents of one of this country's top three women divers. "My attitude was zero," Cindy reflected. "I kept asking myself what I was doing here, and the only answer was 'not She thought seriously of tossing it all away to pick up the traditional life style of her contemporaries weekend parties, vacations at the cottage, and a summer without curfews. Cindy tied her life to diving at the tender age of 13 when she left her parents' home in Toronto to live in the home of national diving coach Don Webb in Winnipeg.

When Webb moved to Pointe Claire, Quebec, three years later, Cindy followed and rented the lower level of his house.

One poor dive cost 22-year-old Janet her first good chance at a gold. She scored miserably mainly threes on a 3'. a somersault to mar an otherwise sparkling performance.

By virtue of their one-two finish Thursday night, Bev and Janet will now represent Canada at the upcoming Pan-American Games in Mexico City.

Skip won the men's three-meter springboard event, amassing 478.56 points on 11 dives to upset favorite Rick Friesen of Vancouver. The fact that the winner is 27 years old, married and a high school physical education teacher separates thim from the traditional pack of youngsters biting at the heels of diving notiriety. But when you consider Skip didn't, start diving competitively until he was 20, Thurs- i lay's performance borders on the unbelievable.

It was the first victory on the three-metre board in any nationally ranked meet for Skip who insists that his age inspires him to greater effort. "When I started diving seven years ago I never intended to get serious about it. But like the donkey following the carrot, I got closer after ejeh step and just kept on chasing." Two of the strongest Canadian divers in the three-metre event defending champion Scott Cranham and Ken Arm-Mrong, both of Pointe Claire, Quebec, did not compete due to injuries. Daniel a 16, of Point Claire demonstrated hi.s ability to compete with the country's finest by finishing a strong fourth in the eight competitor event with a total of 419.49 points. Frank Dunn of the University of Calgary also came up 'with his finest national performance, finishing' in fifth position.
