6 THE BRANDON SUN, Thursday, November 1, 1973 Winless North for their poor Stars will pay efforts coach fey 5hP bv GLENN COLE Staff Writer Coach Jack Gordon of Minnesota North Stars was incensed with his club's 5-0 loss to Boston Bruins in one of three National Hockey League games Wednesday night and ordered twice-daily workouts for the North Stars, starting today. In other action Wednesday, Pittsburgh Penguins and Montreal Canadiens battled to a 1-1 tie and Buffalo Sabres edged California Golden Seals 3-1. Gordon said, "It was a disgrace. If you're not in shape physically, you're not mentally prepared." The loss was the fifth for the North Stars who also have six ties. Phil Espysilo of Boston scored his 14th goal of the season in the game, to maintain his string of scoring in all 10 Bruins' games.

The Canadiens and Penguins met in a lifeless contest in Montreal. "We played a lousy game," said coach Scotty Bowman of the Canadiens, "We had no momentum." But Bowman's main concern was the work of referee Wally Harris, who was berated for most of the coach's post-game news conference. "This guy is a lousy referee," barked Bowman. "He's afraid to give a penalty in this building. Bowman felt Harris missed a couple of penalty calls in the third period Hull's Jets lose again assists for 19 points, good enough for second spot in the NHL's scoring race.

Centre Mike Rogers added the other two goals for Calgary while Terry Bucyk and Mike Will replied for Edmonton. Calgary led 1-0 after the first period and the lead stood until the third period when the teams divided four goals. Larry Hendrick mp.de 33 saves in the Edmonton goal, 10 more than Kevin Erickson of Calgary. Oil Kings took four of six minor penalties. The victory lifted Calgary four points ahead of Medicine Hat for first place in the Western Division.

Edmonton is last with one win and five losses. and called for too many face-offs in the Penguins end. Pittsburgh coach Ken Schinkel said the Penguins played the same style of game against Montreal as they did Sunday when they bombed New York Rangers 7-2. "We stuck to the basics of hockey. We didn't lose too many draws in our own end tonight.

They didn't get one clean draw from us which they did last week in Pittsburgh and cost us the game." In the Buffalo-California game, Richard Martin scored three goals, one in each period, to -lead the Sabres to their win over the Golden Seals. Martin now has 10 goals and nine in the first period. They led 3-0 after the opening period and 3-1 at the end of the second. Five players shared Quebec's scoring with Rejean Houle, formerly of Montreal Canadiens in the National Hockey League, getting the winner midway through the first. It was Houle's sixth goal of the year.

Serge Bernier, who played for Los Angeles Kings of the NHL in 1972-73, picked up three assists to take over the points lead with 19. He has eight goals and 11 assists.

Head coach Lou Holtz directed his team while wearing a mask and a The Birdman briefly is not crazy by GERRY SUTTON CP Staff Writer Coach Bob Needham told Cleveland Crusaders to let rival Bobby Hull "do his thing," and it paid off in a 64 win over Winnipeg Jets. In the only other World Hockey Association game Wednesday night, Quebec Nordiques did what they do best hustle to defeat Vancouver Blazers 5-1 for their fourth win in a row. At the end of the evening, the Nordiques were in sole possession of first place in the East Division with 16 points, one more than New England Whalers and two ahead of Cleveland. The Jets, with three defeats and a tie in their last four games, remained deadlocked for second in the West with Houston Aeros and Minnesota Fighting Saints, all with nine points.

Needham said the key to stopping Winnipeg's line of Hull, Norm Beaudin and Chris Bordeleau "is letting Hull freewheel and do his thing." "All we have to do with Hull is let the wing on his side skate up and down with him all evening. We want to run at Beaudin and Bordeleau we can't let them run free." Briefly in the second period it appeared the Crusaders' plan had backfired. Hull grabbed the puck at centre and outskated his opponents before beating goalie Gerry Cheevers on a breakaway, giving Winnipeg a 2-1 lead. Danny Spring added another goal a few minutes later to give the Jets a 3-1 margin. The Crusaders, however, got three goals before the period ended and outscored the Jets 2-1 in the final 20 minutes for their sixth win against a defeat and two ties.

Jim Wiste scored the winning goal when he beat Joe Daley at 13:31 of the third, snapping a 4-4 tie. Wayne Hillman added the insurance marker into an empty net at 19:39 with Daley on the bench for an extra player. Russ Walker paced the Crusaders with two goals. "We've got a small team so we've-got to skate," said coach Jacques Plante after his Nordiques outshot the Blazers 24-19 before 7,406 fans in Vancouver. "We've got to play basic hockey, headman the puck, chase it, play good positional hockey.

We played our game well tonight because Vancouver wasn't skating." The Nordiques scored three power-play goals, two "You gain about 800 to Keeping you informed of business happenings in Brandon and area EVERY WEDNESDAY The Brandon Optimist Club is formulating plans for the 1974 edition of the Assiniboine Relays and a meeting to discuss the track and field meet will be held Sunday at the Assiniboine Community College, starting at 2:30 p.m. All interested parties are urged to attend this function.

Flyers can also jump off buildings, and Mr. Jones said he has considered gliding from the 27-storey CN Tower in Edmonton although building a platform for takeoff may pose problems. Another possibility is flying from airborne balloons. An Australian recently glided from 11,000 feet using this method.

A hang glider can be bought for between $400 and S700. A kit is available for $320. "All you have to do is drill holes and put wires together," said Mr. Jones. A glider consists of aluminum tubing, about 200 square feet of sailcloth, wire struts for strengthening the structure and a seat or harness.

The sail is a modified kite shape supported by a frame of tubing. An aluminum triangle extends downward from the sail and the seat or harness hangs behind the triangle. In hill soaring, the flyer buckles on the seat or harness, holds the kite nearly parallel to the ground bygrasping the triangle, and runs downhill. "When you run into an updraft the seat carries you up," said Mr. Jones.

"You can control your direction to a certain extent by shifting your weight." His friends' ealieri him "the birdman" when he began hang gliding, and the nickname has become part of his professional name. "I put 'Birdman Enterprises' and a picture of a hawk on the side of my boat and car," said Mr. Jones. "My friends think the bird looks more like a chicken."

Terry The Birdman) Jones is thinking of jumping off a 27-storey building. It wouldn't be an act of despair, but an experience in freedom, "soaring for hours like a gull riding an air current," he says. And it's one of the ways Mr. Jones, 31, makes his As one of the few professional hang gliders (manned kite flyers) in the world, he flew over thousands of fans at the British Grand Prix, the Can-Am road races and other sports events throughout Canada, the United States and Europe last summer. This fall he is teaching 18 students at Grant MacEwan Community College the art of hill soaring, or running down a steep slope beneath an 18-foot sail and catching an updraf of wind.

Hill soaring is the safest of the many kinds of hang gliding, said Mr. Jones. "I've never heard of serious injuries only-scrapes and bruises and a few sprained ankles." His 16-hour course, offering both theoretical and practical instruction, has a waiting list of 60, attesting to the growing popuarlity of the sport in Canada. The birdman, a native of Edmonton, learned to fly three years ago from Australian Bill Moyes who was then performing at the Edmonton Exhibition. "It's exciting, the freedom of flying without any other help than the wind," said Mr.

JOnes. "1 used to fly my own model airplanes, and had birds as pets." The record for continuous hang gliding is five hours, set recently in California. Under ideal conditions, including a steady breeze, the glider can soar hundreds of feet above the ground at speeds of between 15 and 50 miles an hour. In addition to his hill-soaring kite, which weighs 35 pounds and cost about $500, Mr. Jones has a kite with a 14-foot wing span for flying behind a boat and a 15-foct model for being towed by a car.

The car tow, which he performed at the Grand Prix July 14-15, is the most dangerous of all hang-gliding methods. FRIDAY, NOV. 2 SATURDAY, NOV. 3 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.
