Hamilton, Calgary win

It was the Ottawa defence that Tom Clements picked apart Sunday but Toronto Argonauts suffered right along with the Hamilton quarterback's former team- mates,

Clements and the Tiger- Cate virtually locked up the last available playoff spot in the Canadian Football League's Eastern Con- ference at the Argonauts’ expense by demollahing the Rough Riders 2i-3.

The victory, following To- ronto's 25-11 loss to the first- place Montreal Alouettes Saturday, left the Argoa with the uphill chore of defeating Calgary Stampeders and Ottawa- in thelr two remaining games and hoping Hamilton loses to Montreal in its last start of the regular schedule.

Toronto traila the Ticats by only two points but must finish ahead of them to affaet Hamilton's better polnt- scoring record In their four meetinge this season, in which each team won twice.

In the West, the Stam- peders moved past British Columbia into second place, two points behind the idle Edmonton Eskimos, by defeating the Lions 37-32 Saturday, In a battle of also- rans, Winnipeg Blue Bomb- ers clinched fourth place Sunday with a 23-14 victory over the lall-end Saskat- chewan Roughriders,

Tate now 14, cham

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) — John Tate, clutching ‘a $27,000 gold belt he got for winning the World Boxlng Association heavyweight crown 24 hours earlier, insisted he still doesn't feel Tike the real champ.

“*T guess [ won't really feel in my mind that I’m the champ until I have both titles,’ said Tale, who took the WBA crown by winning a unanimous decision over South African Gerrie Coetzee Saturday night.

Tate said at a Sunday night hews conference he would fight Larry Holmes, the World Boxing Council champ, “or anyone else,"

“Ain't nobody I won't fight," said the 24-year-old Tate whose face was un- marked except for some’ puffiness around the eyes. He said Coetzea never hurt him during the 15-rounder,

The black heavyweight, who beat a white South African before an over- whelmingly white crowd of 51,000 in this white minority.

ed country, olready is the champ with many South Af- rican blacks,

Before the news con- ference a black woman ran up to Tate ia the hotel lobby, threw her arms around him and said: “Tate, Tate, you are the greatest,”

In Soweto, Johannesburg's black satellite clty, revellera raced through the town of more than che million residents Saturday night blowing horns, shouting and waking neighbors.

“Ws amazing,” said one black who was dragged from her bed to join the celebrations, "I've never seen anything like it in my lite, [t's better than New Year's Eve. [ wish John Tate were here to see the support he hae,”

Tate, who grew up in a poor black neighborhood in Knoxville, Tenn, has been attacked in South Africa and abroad by black critics of: apartheid for agreeing to

fight here, He has consistently refused to be drawn into the

controversy. He clapped his hands when a black sports writer told him about the Soweto celebration but sald he had no complainta about hia treatment in this country.

Bob Arum, who heads Top

Rank, Inc, which promoted Tate's fight with Coetzee, predicted Tate would beat Holmes in the fall of 1990.

"It takes two to fight,” -

Arum said, ‘Holmes doesn't want to loge his half of the title, so the fight won't come’

’ until we have enough money

topay Holmes off for hip ha of the title.” Ace Miller, Tate's

manager, said: "We'll fight Holmes next week. We're ready.”

Holmes is rated the better fighter by moat of the boxing world, but Arum said Tate would win for two reasons.

“He has the ability and stamina, And he has the best corner in the world.”

Tate's next fight moat likely will be in February, Arum said. Possible challengers include Earnie Shavers and Leon Spinks.

W’hawks

lose a squeaker

’ ‘The Kitimat Winterhawka had a rough night Saturday, as the Prince Rupert Kings came from behind In the third period to win 5-4,

Although the Winterhawks played well throughout the game and ended up out- shooting the Kings 30-21, they lost thelr concentration in the third period and gave up a one goal lead. Rupert scored both their unan- swered third-period goals on powerplays, with Gord Stephens finally getting the winner at 16-10 of the period. Other scores for Rupert were Mike Vannier with two, and Bilt Etzerza and Dennis Langdale tossing in singles.

Kitimat scorers were Randy Schooley, Kevin Trach, FRon Egan and Ron Minaker. Coach Fred Schooley sald that he was happy with the team’s play despite the loss, and that had it not been for the powerplay the Winterhawks could have won it.

There were sixteen minor penalties cailed in the game, eight to each leam.

Next game for the win- terhawks will be in Terrace on Wednesday, as they try to avenge a 9-4 loss last week in exhibition play.

The Terrace Timbermen had a successful start to their 1979 season on the

« weekend, winning two road

games in Houston and Smithers.

Saturday night the Tim- bermen staged a third- period rally to beat the Houston Luckies 7-5, largely on the efforts of Lee Marleau. Marleau had four goals in the game, two In the first period and the last two goals of the game, the

“ winner and the insurance

marker,

The Luckies opened the scoring at 2:00 of the first when Wes Westgarde scored. Marieau tied it at 4:31, Westgarde broke the tie at 10:51 and Marleau tied it again 14:00, Houston’s John Kusliniryk put them ahead at 19:08 of the second, with

° that perlod’s only goal,

Dave Sharpe tied the score al 3-3 with a powerplay goal at 3:50, with the Luckies two men short, Brad Riley put Terrace ahead with another powerplay goal at 4:30, before Dave Stumpf tied it for the Luckies at 5:51. Joe Smoley pul the Timbermen ahead again at 11:48, before Kirby Balfour knotted the score again at 14:30,

This set the stage for Marleau’s heroics. Marleau, who narrowly missed giving the Timbermen a dramatic comeback win over Prince Rupert two Sundays ago at home, scored at 14:52 and again at 19:26, giving Terrace the win, The Tim- bermen were outshot 43-30 in the game, 21-10 in the third period.

It was a cosily win in one way though, as the Tim- bermen lost the services of new goaltender Mike Susak with what 4 Houston doctor diagnosed as torn knee ligaments with 1:30 left to Play in the game. If the diagnosis stands, Susak will be gone for at least six weeks, jolning Rick Kennedy on the sidelines. Kennedy Injured his knee in the Rupert game a week ago, and will not be back for at least a month.

Terrace is also without Blair Pritchard, who rein- jured his ankle in Sunday's 6- 3 win over Smithers.

Timbermen - publicity director Terry Grimm said that the team had nine goals and decided that the game was over, forcing Lamming to play very well in the third to keep the Totems from storing any More than two. Mark Perry tallied at 2:08 and Dan Skinner at 8:07 to finish the game's scoring.

The game featured two fights, and a match penalty to Smithers goalie Dave Mecutcheon, when he reportedly butt-ended a Terrace defenceman, Gord Cochrane in front of the net. The referee felt that the infraction was fairly serious, and threw Mecutcheon out.

Grimm said that the team was particularly impressed with the play of Greg Paulson. He played both games on defence, and did very well all weekend. Grimm also sald that the powerplay was much better than it has been, accounting for four goals over the weekend, .

The Timbermen's next game will be Wednesday night at the Terrace arena, when they host the Kitimat Winterhawks.
