my njj ni i OR The VANCOUVER SUN: Jan. 21, 1974 Mil' GAMES WARMUP 'Li Lee STRAIGHT 4. Hammer thrower gets shot of beer CHRISTCHURCH, N.Z. (AP) Two of England's British Commonwealth Games team's heavyweights "clashed here Sunday, but neither is a boxer. Si i 1 muwm lilll Hill Alt' i Jf HIM The row wound up with shot putter Geoff Capes throwing a glass of beer over hammer thrower Barry Williams, according to nearby spectators.

It started when Williams was troubled by shouts from a bar under the stadium of the Queen Elizabeth II Park during a pre-games meeting. Williams made a foul throw and there was another shout from the bar which adjoins the arena. Williams walked over and told a group of people, among whom was Capes: 'Don't be so moronic. You are acting like peasants." Capes, a Northamptonshire policeman, threw a glass of beer over Williams and then made to climb a low fence towards him. Officials and others nearby shouted to the men to calm down.

Williams wiped his face and walked away. Friends of Capes quoted him as saying later: "I like to build up a bit of rivalry before a big meeting. It makes me aggressive and I throw better." Meanwhile, Claude Fer-range of Montreal shares the New Zealand men's high jump record following a warm-up meeting Sunday, for the Games which start Thursday. Ferragne jumped six feet inches, the same as Australian Larry Peckham. Pec-kham, however, got the nod for first place by virtue of fewer attempts at that height.

And Ruth Martin-Jones of Wales set a New Zealand allcomers' record for the wom en long jump of 20 feet, 10 inches. Another New Zealand record was shattered by Dave Travis, English javelin won his event with a heave of 266-5'2. African showed their potential, as Patwel Ki-matyo of Kenya set a New Zealand all-comers' record of 13.8 in the men's 100-metre hurdles, and Bill Koske of Kenya won his section of the 400 metres in 45.7 another New Zealand record. Alice Annon of Ghana ran the 200 metres in 23.2 and equalled a New Zealand record. Jets stun Grandview Chilliwack Jels surprised first-place Grandview ers Sunday with a 2-1 win in West Coast Junior Hockey League action.

The loss for Steelers, however, didn't alter the standings. In the only other action, Bunaby Blazers moved into fourth place with two weekend wins, 7-6 over Point Grey Blades Sunday and 6-3 over Abbotsford Pilots Saturday. Rod Reid and Joe Reider scored Chilliwack's goals while Greg Huddleston replied for Grandview. Don Fraser and Brent Garrison had two goals each for Burnaby Sunday and Glen Sweetable scored three times for Blazers Saturday. i.

After an offside penalty erased that kick, Yepremian Canadians keep pace with UBC Coquitlam Canadians remained one point behind "first-place UBC Braves after weekend games in the. Richmond Intermediate Hockkey League; Ken Anderson scored two goals in pacing Canadians to an 8-5 win over Burnaby Lakers Sunday night.

Saturday, the Braves beat SFU Clansmen 4-2. UBC now has 33 points to Coquitlam's 32. Fraser Arm Canucks are third with 29 points. A WINTER The Sun's' fearless fish reporter arrived on the lower Seymour Sunday early enough to catch the burglars punching out, the watch-dogs snoozing and not enough light to put the white water aglow. It was the witching hour, and dawn takes ages to creep into that dank little North Vancouver valley.

For once I didn't smash a nail as I clawed into my chest-waders, picked up my rod and goat-groped my way along the rocky right bank. My destination, the Keith Road pool, is about 100 yards upstream from the bridge of the same name. Last time I fished it last spring I'd waded with some difficulty across two-thirds of the Seymour to the lip of the deep run that forms a long slick close to the left or east bank. But it looked too forbidding Sunday, even when the sky barely brightened, so I made my way back down, across the bridge, and up the east bank to the pool. You're taking a long chance in detouring like that because it's a rare Saturday or Sunday that sees daylight hit that pool before a fisherman.

By that time the rapids were glowing, a little and the river, while not high, seemed a bit murky. I changed my three tiny plastic salmon eggs to the larger plastic imitation of a roe cluster, topped off with a cluster of white yarn. I had a stubby, eight-foot rod and a push-button reel, the kind they call a spin-casting reel in the trade. It's barely adequate in this area, as all but the largest have line capacity rather limited for steelhead. But I'd had it awhile without a practice session so took a notion to try it.

Shallow? 'Twas a trout Basically, it's a fixed-spool spinning reel enclosed in a cone-shaped housing with a pinhole in the front, mounted atop the rod handle, with a push-button control that acts like one's finger on regular fixed-spool jobs. I reminded myself that I'm not so used to it that I can run it without conscious effort and it wasn't long before I proved it. First cast the very first toss into that slick, floated only 10 yards, and the bobber ducked under. Must be shallower than I thought, I said to myself, but struck hard out of long practice an act that becomes second-nature to a steelheadef. Dashed if that "bottom snag" didn't strike back.

was a fish all right and I'd have had a better chance of landing it with any of the other dozens of reels I own and with which I try to keep familiar. I pressed the push-button to lift and strike, which is correct. I then should have started cranking the handle and adjusting the star-drag that is part of such reels. Easing off the drag lets a determined fish run but keeps nice tension and eventually brings in the fish. However short, it was panic Combine an unfamiliar tool with the surprise of hooking a fish on the first cast into almost black darkness and a not too familiar pool and you have the ingredients for momentary panic.

I plead guilty. First I lifted my thumb, letting the line fly out through the pin-hole, then I frantically pressed the button, holding the loose line in a belly, far below the fish and me. Finally I came to and cranked mightily, gathering line rapidly. That reel has about a four-to-one ratio on its pickup so, in moments, I had a taut line, but I had forgotten to ease the star-drag. Sickening feeling! The hook pulled out and the fish was free.

I made about 10 more casts with no takers, went back to the truck and drove upstream to the next little slick, just in sight of the first. I thoroughly dredged it, using my longer rod and reel where I could and defiantly going back to that short rod and spin-casting reel to work the brushier spots. That whole stretch has scant casting room. As I was about to quit and go home, I noticed two other anglers picking their way along the bank from the bridge to the pool of my initial encounter, likely believing they might be there first. I wonder if my fish got over its sore lip and decided to take their offerings.

It might. Particularly, i they offered it a juicy bit of shrimp meat or a fat dew-worm. It was too difficult and a bit intrusive to drive down, then hike up, just to watch those others fish. And I begrudged the time. So I guess I'll never know how that startled steelhead made out.

Garo, a native of Cyprus who didn't go to college, may have the most educated foot in the National Football League. For four years now, Yepremian has helped the world champion Miami Dolphins to victory after victory; Yepremian's foot did it again Sunday except this time it was for the American Con-f e. Yepremian's five field goals, the winning one a 42-yarder with 21 seconds remaining, set a Pro Bowl record and gave the AFC a 15-13 trimph over the National Conference in a game that started with 14 first-half turnovers and ended as a cliffhanger. Prior to his game-decider, Yepremian booted field goals of 16, 37. 27 and 41 yards.

He broke the record of four kicked in 1972 by Kansas City's Jan Slenerud. With his left foot plunged into ice, the bald Yepremian said afterward, "I had to come through for the rest of the guys. The money did not mean anything. Most of the extra $500 the winners get goes for taxes anyway. "When I went out for that last one, I said a little prayer and asked Cod to help me once more.

He kept me in there again." Yepremian, helped from the field after a nullified 22-yard the World University Games in upsetting her Russian counterparts. Despite her record-smashing victory, Mary was not named the meet's outstanding athlete. That award went to Dvvight Stones, who set an American record in the high jump at 7-4l'4. Stones had lost to Tom Woods in Poealcllo, Idaho Friday night, with both clearing "I knew Tom would be lough again but I was real tired," Stones said. "I felt flat because of the long trip down.

And I thought 7-1 would win." Stones missed his first two tries at 7-4 1 1 and, figured I'd just give it everything on the third one. I grazed it with my elbow," but the bar stayed on, and the mark bettered the 7-4 by Reynaldo Brown in 1972. Fanie Van Zijl of South Africa won the mile after a slow first lap in 4:04.4. "I'm surprised I could adjust so well," said Van Zijl. "This was my first indoor race ever.

At 5-foot-3 and 93 pounds, with big blue eyes, and only 15 years old, she looked like she belonged in a race for youngsters, scheduled later Saturday night. After warming up, she started to walk onto the track at the Los Angeles Sports Arena when a local AAU official, affectionately known by his colleagues as "The. Bulldog." told Mary her race wasn't being run yet.

"Oh, yes, I'm running in this one," she said. The official didn't believe her, grabbed her hand and pulled her off the track. With tears in her eyes, Mary found her coach and things were straightened out in time for the 10th grader at Garden Grove High School to run 2:26.7. "I just ran to win," said Mary. "I wasn't thinking about a record but I felt I could win all the time." Miss Decker beat the previous world best of 2:29.4 by Canadian Glenda Reiser as well as the American standard of 2:30.7 by Robin Campbell.

Francie Larricu, a San Jose State student who competes for the Pacific Coast Club, also dipped under both records with 2:27.3. It was Miss Larricu who may have helped produce the world mark. Mary was coasting along with one lap left when Francie pulled up on her right shoulder. Miss Decker then took off, just as she did last year at 4 CYLINDER REG. 7 95 6 CYLINDER REG.
