Canada wins silver

(UPI) — Undefeated going
into the final round, the
Canadian national men’s
basketball team succumbed
to the United States in the
last game of the_12-nation
William JonesCup.

Held in Taipei, Taiwan,
the week-long tournament
was used by the Canadians to
prepare for the World
Basketball Championships
slated for late August.

Former SFU Clansman Jay
Triano led the Canadians
with 22 points, with guard
Stewart Granger of Mon-
treal netting 15, and
University of Manitoba
basketball coach Martin
Riley nine.

The Americans, also
undefeated, took an carly

lead with a 13-point edge 10
minutes into the first
quarter. A Canadian rally
late in the first half cut the
U.S. lead to 41-33.

Most of the U.S. baskets
came from outside shooting
as the Canadians kept a tight
defense around the lip of the
key. The: Canadians had
trouble coming inside and
relied on their perimetre
shooting for most of the
scoring. .

In the second half, the
U.S. went to a slightly faster
offense and opened up a 17-
point lead. Canada came
back to within seven with
three minutes to play, but a
Canadian turnover in their
own back court started an
American rally.

Using the clock to good
advantage, the U.S. wasted
time and then scored five
consecutive baskets before
game's end to finish 79-62.

Local athlete Mike Jackel
is a member of the Canadian
team, and although he
wasn't a high scorer in the
final game, he put in strong
performances throughout
the first seven wins.

Jackel, a former Argyle
Piper and SFU Clansman,
lives in North Vancouver.

It’s difficult to find a park or playground on the

North Shore these days where there are no soccer
schools in progress.

For July. and August soccer parks are  over-
thousands of kids will be crowded and overused
taking courses from pros, ex during the fall and winter.

amateurs, all professing to
have the secret to better
soccer.

And wandering past a
couple of them earlier in the
week, it was fascinating to
hear both kids and parents
talking World Cup.

Rarely has a_ sporting
event which does not include
Canadians (or Americans)
captured the interest of so
many people.

It's becoming apparent
that the coverage of the 1982
World Cup soccer is going to
boost the image of the game
in Canada, if not also in the
U.S.

And while that is good
news for all lovers of the
world’s game, it does create
more practical and mundane
problems in places like the
North Shore.

Last season we had a

, number of storieson councils

becoming concerned about

the overuse of parks and the

possibility that restrictions

would have to be placed on
their use.

Now, if the World Cup
adds any more kids to the
already overtaxed soccer
programs on the North
Shore, we could casily run
into the strange situation of
kids wanting to play soccer
who are forbidden = or
restricted because it’s too
popular for the
municipalities.

When great numbers of
teams and kids are com-
peting not only against other
teams but also the monsoons
of winter, the problem
becomes obvious.

the soccer bodies, to open

Some would have us
believe that the

there, and a bit of thought
goes into the scheduling of
parks, no fields would be lost
from over use.

Soccer is the recreational
sport of the lower mainiand,
and especially of the North
Shore. There is no question
on that score.

The Olympic Rowdymen
of West Vancouver are 8
points up on the North Van

The Rowdymen snapped
their losing streak last week
in a fast-paced game against
the Benders.

The Lynnwood men were

Lions are taking dead aim
at the former lofty position
held by the Edmonton
Eskimos who are expected
to have a few problems this
time around.

With a stable club needing
few changes from last year,
the Lions should be a good
bet to be, if not at the top of
the heap, then very near
come the cool days of fall
