vr kr -r-e- Spokane, Feb. 11, 1983. The SpoKESMAN-RevEW ClhneiFs 2ilrati2, vmtimy Cl CSFiiS onm By EARL GERHEIM Sport staff writer Chiefs, who now are just three points behind third-place Kimberley, host Cranbrook Saturday and Sunday. Not to be outdone by his fellow rookie, defenseman Troy Magnuson also contributed two goal a during the first period, scoring on a breakaway at 9:48 to put the Chiefs ahead for good at 3-2 Chiefs Coach A1 Rollins. "Were right itiny a slapshot from the point at A1 Ro there and we control our own destiny This is one big step for us, said for making the playoffs.

They played like a team out there. Theres nothing dal weve been doing. Its just that anF adding 14:43 to make it 5-2, Spokane. And, defenseman Dennis LaRue, currently in his first full season of senior hockey, closed out Spokanes scoring at 18:14 of the third period with a power play tally. Tlte old The Spokane Chiefs discovered, much to their delight, that theres nothing like a generation gap for bringing their little hockey family closer together.

With the youngsters and the seasoned veterans victimizing Trails goalten-ders, the Chiefs went on a scoring binge and tripped the Smoke Eaters 10-6 In their western International Hockey League matchup Thursday night in the Spokane Coliseum. "When you have the old and the young and they gel, its a great combination if you can get it. We had it tonight, smiled Chiefs captain Don Burgess, who scored two goals as Spokane Improved its record to 16-23-2 and moved out of last place Into a fifth-place tie with Elk Valley. Indeed, the combination of the eager youngsters and the well-traveled, seasoned veterans blended into an effective combination. First, the younger players.

The Chiefs had picked up forwards Charlie Goodwin, Rod Poindexter and defense-man Bob Stolz from the Junior Spokane Flames for Thursdays game. Goodwin responded to the challenge by scoring twice, Including the eventual game-winner at 15:30 of the second period when he broke in from center ice and popped his shot past Trail goalie MikeZanier. Also striking a blow for the current Seneratlon was rookie centerman Bud-y Bodman who scored two goals lust 55 seconds apart to help key a five-goal Spokane outburst in the fir period. ie guys are working hard trying to put It all together." The addition of the three Flames under the working agreement between Spokanes junior and senior clubs helped, Rollins said. I was able to use four lines because we had enough forwards for four lines, except for one man.

So I had Venerus doubled-up for extra shifts," Rollins said. The Chiefs, who had suffered through a six-game losing streak before the victory over Elk Valley, were behind only once in the game. And that was after Rob Vanzella gave the Smokies a 1-0 lead at 1:38 of the first period. The Spokane defensemen robbed the Smokies of rebound shots against goalie Frank Turnbull, effectively clearing the puck from around the net. The Chiefs also administered some rattling body checks to the Trail skaters, with Magnuson and Stolx leading the hit parade.

Magnuson, living up to his nickname of Mid Dog, gotTn his share of checks in the corners, sending several Trail bodies to the ice. The more you use the body the less they come into the corners and in front of the net, said Magnuson, who raised his season goals to six. If you control the comers, you control the game. WATER HEATER FROM ZIGGY! ler fellows didnt want to be outdone by the younger guys. Burgess teamed up with veteran Nels Venerus at 13:50 of the second on one of those let-me-show-you-guys-how-its-done goals while the Chiefs were short-handed.

i Burgess and Venerus broke out of the Chiefs zone, capping their drive when Burgess unloaded a 15-footer. Burgess later deflected in Mike Stones shot at 19:16 of the second to lift Spokane to an 8-4 lead. How about that? Im 20 years older than he Is. Its the old and the new, the 36-year-old Burgess grinned as he pointed toward Goodwin. And Gary Vaughan, representing the guys in their late 20s, posted the most spectacular goal of the night at 13:29 of tne third when the Chiefs were short-handed.

Vaughan took a pass from Burgess by the Spokane blue line and scored on a breakaway despite receiving a chop that broke a Smoke Eaters stick. The victory marked the Chiefs third game without a loss, following a 5-5 tie with league-leader Nelson and a 3-1 win over Elk Valley last weekend. The.
