the

League a needed boost with that
admirable Grey Cup effort but it
will. be only temporary relief if
something isn’t done to improve
things in the league’s two largest
cities. Counting the one playoff

Montreal Alouettes had a
combined 5-28 record last season

was that Edmonton controlled

another Canadian Press story last
month referred to Vince

’ Goldsmith of the Saskatchewan

Roughriders as ‘‘diminutive.’’
While not overly large for a
lineman, Goldsmith is a five-
foot,, 11-inch 240-pounder.
Wonder what.the CP word is for
Willie Shoemaker . . . there is no
reason to feel sorry. ‘for

professional athletes because of |

the new income tax regulations
designed to make them pay
something more in. keeping with
their’ income. Their athletic
careers may be comparatively
short but there is no reason for
them to think they should be able
to retire at age 30 or 35. They
could go to work,-just like the -
fans who pay. those big ticket
prices forced on them by out-of-
line player salaries .... the latest
Yoga Berra story is about the
time an acquaintance grumbled a
bit about.a $5.20 tab ‘for a light
breakfast of juice, coffee and an
‘English muffin. Berra, a careful
man with his money, wasn’t at all
upset, explaining ‘‘That’s
because they have to import them
muffins.”? ...

an accomplishment for Sandown

Montreal Canadiens, who
wanted both of them. but weren’t
able to talk Winnipeg Jets into
trading away their first-round
draft. choice, can’t be very happy
abut the decision which made
Doug Wickenheiser the first
choice in the 1980 junior draft
instead of the exciting Denis
_ Savard. Canadiens went for size
in taking the 200-pound Reginan, .
and while Wickenheiser might yet
develop into a top star, Savard
has played brilliantly for Chicago’
Black Hawks, who. had _ third
choice and snapped him up when
.the Jets took defenceman Dave
Babych . . . Chip Hanauer, lucky
to escape serious. injury when he
