(CP) — Defensive back Lorne Richardson says he played all last season with a painful back injury which threatens to end his football career. Richardson, 28, jolned To- ronto Argonauts last year after five outstanding Canadian Football League seasonf with Saskatchewan Roughriders, But a few days after the start of last season's training camp, he hort his beck in a collision with another player. “Unbelievably, con- sidering the amount of pain, T didn’t say anything about it last season because I didn't want te sit on theinjury list. I took a lot of abuse from people because of my play last year, They just didn’t realize that I was getting hurt in every collision,” Richardson, a native of Moose Jaw, Sask., was a CFL all-star four of his five previous seasons so he was given a five-year contract worth about $50,00 a year when he joined Argos. “Everything was rosy,” he said of his move east. “I had signed a ‘nice contract, bought a condominium, was getting married, Now, just one year later, I'm con. cerned about finishing my foniract because of the In- ry. “Some mornings I get up and feel like I’m 80 years ald, I can exercise, but I can’t practise and it bothers me when I run, The doctors are having a tough time Rough Riders to try twin quarterback PETERBOROUGH, Ont. ' (CP) — Condredge Holloway . says he wants the chance to prove the two-quarterback ‘system can work for Ottawa Rough Riders.- “It annoys me to have people always bring out the negative factors of the two- quarterback system,’ Holloway said in an ih- terview Monday. ‘The Holloway-Tom Clements duel for the first-: string quarterback job was expected to be a highlight of the training camp here. For three yeari, Holloway has played in Clements’ shadow. Last year Clements completed 182 of 299 at- tempted passes. Holloway Was good on 62 ott of 102, The Riders camp, which started Sunday, was a week behind most clubs in the Canadian Football League. But coach George Bran- catonsaid he planned it that way, “T wanted to. delay the start 50 we could open as a team and not have eight or nine leave for the all-star game then return, This way we'll have continuity.” n The all-starngame was played Saturday in Calgary. Holloway signed a multi- year contract last month after threatening to play out his option if he wasn't traded “to a team that wants me,” Holloway said he com- plements Clements in the ’ Rider backfield. “Teams use different defences when I’m at quarterback. The defensive Tine plays differently, They spread out more than they do for Tommy." .

Expo’s May is scuba-pitcher MONTREAL (CP) — When Rudy May speaks of scuba diving, he isn’t talking about casual sorties tourists make off. southern reefs looking for interesting shells or watching marine life. The 33-year-old left- hander, traded to Montreal’ Expos.of baseball's National League last winter, also happens to be a professional diver licensed by the National Association of Un- derwater Instructors. . With his licence, he can be called on at any time for emergency jobs. But the bespectacled six-foot, three- inch pitcher has been drydocked due to a clause in his Expos contract. . The clause says May cannot take part in hazardcus professional duty. Because, underwater work ‘| has. a certain element of danger, he would -be violating his contract if he were to dive now. The same clause was con- tained in the contract May signed with his previous team, the American League Baltimore Orisles, May, who posted 18 wins with the Orioles last year, came to Montreal in a sixplayer trade: , SALVAGED SILVERWARE “The last diving job I-did was right after spring tral t year,’ May sald. ‘It was early April and T hadn't signed the contract. - “Another man and I were hired to try and salvage a boxcar of silverware that had fallen off a track and -into the river in Maryland,. “J don't consider diving) any. that dangerous, but the all she thought about was clause is in the contract in case of injury. And suppose you get off toa slow start and the club finds out you went diving, it could claim breach ad contract.” May worked to obtain his diving credentials just as he tolled to gain his pitching ability. Growing up just off the ocean in Callfornia, he thought fbr several years that diving was going to be his livelihood. In fact, be still plans to fall back on diving when he quits baseball. ALWAYS DIVED “l’'ve always dived,”’ May sald. “I was in the ocean’ since I was a kid and I used to freedive then with a anorkel, mask and fins, “When I was 17, I took a 4month course covering all phases of underwater diving and got my licence. That permitted me to take people down under and teach them, but there wasn't much money in that. “I always wanted to be a baseball player. I won a sports scholarship to University of San Francisco bat I only attended two semesters until I was old enough to sign a baseball contract.’’ - He had to wait because his - Parents weren’t enthusiastic about him becoming a ball player, “My dad used to aay. ‘blacks don't be bail players.’ He didn't want me to be hurt if f didn't make it to the top. He didn't think I was good enough to make it ' all the way. And my mom, college, college, college.’ KICKED SCOUT OUT May's father was resolute that he once kicked 8 Houston Astros scout out of the honse. ; “The scout was talking about a $50,000 bonus,”’ said May, who later signed with Houston for an $2,000 bonus. He has since made up the difference in the signing offers and has “‘made it up on other ways too, because I really enjoy this life—I enjoy playing baseball.” But May |,. developed shoulder and arm problems . in 1965 while with California els, “T didn't think that I was ever going to be able to pitch again," May said, explaining why he went to commercial diving school. ; “Now, the diving wasn’t a sport anymore, it was a livelihood, “Tt came easily because I had dene so much of it as a youngster,” But May's parents didn't take kindly to. his un- derwater undertaking, particularily after a. man was killed by a shark:in ocean waters near May's Sausalito, Calif., home. But May seid that In all his | diving, he has only seen “three,.. maybe four, sharks,” . Among happy that baseball has placed May in drydock in his wifa Carol; who, according to Rudy, thought was never cme up. _ association those who are . But, Sawula sald, the fact that volleyball is popular does not mean there are no poblems to overcome in the evolution of the game. A key need is more structure and permanence at the team level. . Because many parts of the country lack organized and competitive leagues, a crucial step is to ensure that teams have a structure which keeps them: viable, ; PROGRAM STARTED The association has started an elite club- development program, encouraging volleyball teams to take on a per- manent status and offering them financial incentives; if teams meet the criteria of the program, they can get money, sometimes tax free, through the national governing . Teams in the program that send players to Canada’s na- tional team receive bonuses similar to those amateur hockey teams get for players drafted by professional leagues, But, Sawula said, the ngible rewards that show up in medal standings at Olympics and world championships are a long way off. “The Soviet Union and Japan are considered the tor “two volleyball nations right now and they didn’t get to the volleyball . “THE HERALD, Wednesday, June 7, 1978, PAGE 5 " Girl’s Softbal may 20, 78 ju Vie Froese- 15 Clarence Michiel Linda Juba’s Hotshots - 5 PeeWee .
