However, I Ungerman questioned the Manitoba commission's to suspend any those connected with the card. 1 since none "o'f participants was properly licenced.

"There isn't an organized boxing commission in any province or state that allows anybody into a ring that isn't properly licensed," said Ungerman.

He said Manitoba Recreation Minister Larry Desjardins, Most department responsible for the provincial boxing commission, was "allowing the commission to involve the minister and state deeper and deeper. It's shameful."

Dick Pearson, secretary- treasurer of the CPBF, said in Saint John, N.B., Friday night the suspensions would be honored by the federation.

Coston said the commission has also obtained statements from referees Peter Piper and Steve Trojack alleging that Pagan and Poke "went into the tank" in. bouts one and two on the card. Fagan was knocked out in the second round by Kamaric and Ahmut also finished Poke in two. Said Coston: "put it this way, we have statements that say the two losers could easily have been the two winners." In announcing the provincial inquiry Thursday, Recreation Minister Larry Desjardins said the commission's actions will also be investigated.

He is the minister responsible for the body.

SAYS CUT PLEASE BOSTON Derek, Sanderson, the modish star centre for Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League, had his part in a X-rated film deleted from showings in the United States. The film, Loving and Laughing, a hit in Montreal, is scheduled to open here Wednesday, but at Sanderson's request, without the segment showing him. Said Maurice Attias, associate producer and public relations man for the film: "Sanderson's part is not the least bit offensive. But, the movie itself is a controversial one, and 1 think that Derek had second thoughts about appearing in it." encore by BRUCE PENTON $MH Sports i There were about as many great individual performances at the Man-Ex Friday night as there were goals, but a a Blades' Russ Walker upstaged everybody-and he needed the curtain call to do it.

Walker scored what proved to be the tying goal in flie third period--it was his 20th of the season--and then notched No. 21 with 50 seconds to play in overtime, as the Blades nipped Brandon Wheat Kings 7-6 to maintain their one-point lead over Regina Pats atop the Eastern Division standings of the Canada Hockey League. The Wheaties shouldn't feel too bad about the loss, however, as it was a rough night for home teams in' the WCHL. Medicine Hat Tigers whipped Vancouver Nat's 8-3, New Westminster Bruins scored a 6-4, win Winnipeg Jets and Regina Pats came up with a overtime victory over. Swift Current Broncos, giving the four visiting clubs a sweep.

West-Man report The Wheaties needed the available two points badly, if they had aspirations of finishing either first or second in the East--and getting the extra home game in the first round of Ron Chipperfield, who brought Brandon into the tie at the end of 60 minutes with three third-period goals after the team trailed 4-3 at the' end'of the second, didn't quite have enough to 'finish the Blades off. And, Wheat King goalie Dave McLelland, despite allowing seven goals, was nothing less than great in keeping the Wheaties in the game, but he didn't quite have enough either. Walker did have enough. His shot from about 20 feet out in the overtime session McLelland and gave the Blades their third overtime victory of the season. "I don't know how it went in," said a disheartened McLelland after the game.

"I thought I had the net covered. It must have gone over my arm," he Chipperfield's three goals raised his season total to .56 in 56 games and if New York Ranger fans are ecstatic about their Ratelle-Gilbert- Hadfield line going along at GAG (Goal-A-Game) clip, then they should check out Chipperfield's figures; Minnedosa native brought the Wheaties from i 4-3 second-period deficit with two goals early in the third but then Lawrence Sacharuk, the most offensive defenceman in the history of a a i a junior hockey, knotted the score at 5-5 with a blazing shot off the face-off. Walker then put the Blades ahead, but Chipperfield's third goal of the period, on a beautiful passing play with Brian Coates and Bob Murdoch, forced the overtime. The Blades dominated the overtime, outshooting Brandon 8-1, five of those shots coming with Coates off i i before Walker culminated the scoring and sent the 'Wheaties and their -fans home with sour pusses. "Seven goals said McLelland.

"That's terrible." But, he was great in goal, even stopping a shot with his mask off the stick of Sacharuk in the second period.
