JEFF STANFIELD is one bf
64 athletes chosen to
represent Canada at the VII

Pan American Wheelchair ;

Games.

The North Vancouver
resident will be part of the
11-member swim team.

The Canadian teams were
announced last week by
Sharon Cook, Canadian
Wheelchair Sports president
and national team manager.

More than 500 athletes
from 18 countries aré ex-
pected to compete in nine
events at the Games, to be
held in Halifax from Aug. 21
to 29.

Canada should be a strong
contender, having won 12
gold, 18 silver and 12 bronze
medals at the last Pan Am
Games, held in 1978 in Rio
de Janeiro.

“This is the strongest team
we have ever sent to the Pan
Am Games,” Cook said.
“Most of our team are
veterans of international
competition and we look to a
most productive medal
count in Halifax.”

No one is going to keep us from the Western

we want it bad enough.

With six league games left,
three home and three on the
road, we should be able to
pick up enough wins to take
us over the top.

Our biggest problem right
now is with injuries and

suspensions, both of which
cause considerable line up
juggling which means that
players are moving into
positions they are unfamiliar
with and players they are not
used to playing with.

However, we are all pros
and have been in this game
long enough to adapt to this
with a minimum of transition
problems although it would
be best if we didn’t have the
problem to start with.

‘Division title except ourselves. It’s ours to win if

early to report on Saturday's
game, I must make some
comment about our
frustration with the San
Diego match the previous
Wednesday.

Every so often I become a
bit discouraged with the
league, especially when I run
up against teams like the
Sockers.

Okay, they won the game,
but in such a dull, uninspired
fashion that I can under-
stand why they can’t draw
any kind of crowd at their
home games.

A team that plays this kind
of negative, defensive foot-
ball can't have much excite-
ment in winning. It's
probably more of a

Division: ‘It’s ours to win’

collective sigh of relief than
a genuine knowledge ‘that
they played well and
deserved the victory based
on their skills.

Mind you, we missed our
early chances to put the
game away in our favor,
therefore anything I say
could be considered ‘sour
grapes’. But anyone who
enjoys the game of soccer
couldn’t be pleased with that
dull team.

It’s rather interesting that
our last game of the season is
at Empire against this same
band of Sockers. Rest
assured that we'll be out to
put more than one or two
past Mr. Gross.

Spare a moment's sym-
pathy for Jimmy Holmes
who was ‘credited’ with the
San Diego goal last Wed-
nesday. That sort of thing
does happen in the game,

and all the player can do is
try and forget about it.

We all realize the mis-
fortune of what happened
but he'll be harder on
himself than the rest of us
are.

At this point in the season,
all the top teams are
scrambling for those final
playoff positions and home
field advantage.

With only three or four
teams pretty well out of the

running, it should make for
some interesting soccer
during these last three
weeks. .

Our text home game is
this coming Saturday night
against Fort Lauderdale
Strikers, the team we, along
with Sounders and Toronto,
are battling for that number
two over-all spot. Should be
a good one.

The same combination did
it again Sunday behind the
