HONEOYE LAKE COURIER THE .. HONEOYE FALLS TIMES THE LIVONIA GAZETTE THE LIMA RECORDER THURSDAY, MAY 21 1987 9 .r--------------- .. ~--~~ by. Underground Al With this column, written just prior to the Stanley Cup Finals, my pick is the Edmonton Oilers to win in six games. The Oilers simply have the edge in skilled players. Wayne Gretzky, Jari Kurri and Mark Messier were three of the lOp four offensive threats of the regular season. The Flyers will be hurt by power play specialist Tim Kerr's shoulder in;ary. They will have to rely on their defense if they have any hopes of an upset. The core four of Mark Howe, Brad Marsh, Brad McCrimmonn and Doug Crossman anchor the Flyers defense, but they get plenty of help from the forwards, who usually come back faster than a bounced cheek. The goaJtending appears to be even with Grant Fuhr vs. Ron Hextall. The Oilers are poised, comfortable and confident, secure in the fact that they have been here before and they have won before. Nothing takes the plaee of winning it all, and the Flyers haven't done that with this team yet. An interesting note out of last week's pre-game brawl between Montreal and Philadelphia. Canadiens coach Jean Perron refused to shake hands with Flyers coach Mike Keenan after Keenan walked across the ice at the end of the game last Thursday night. Perron had turned for the Canadiens locker room and, suspecting that Perron might not have seen him coming, Keenan called to a security guard to get Perron's attention. Perron then turned around, looked at Keenan and reportedly swore at him. Keenan later confumed that version and said only that it was \unfortunate.\ Maybe so, and granted it was unsportsmanlike, but can you really blame Perron for being upset over the goon tactics employed by Keenan and the Flyers? The Indanapolis 500 is set for this Sunday, May 24. Mario Andretti has grabbed the pole position and will be hard to beat. He will be joined in the front row by last year's winner Bobby Rahal and Rick Mears. Andretti's qualifying speed of 215.390 was over two mph faster than Rahal and a shade under four mph faster than Mears. AJ. Foyt heads the second row. The top qualifying rookie was Ludwig Heimrath, who will start from position cleven. A longshot worth watching is Gordon Johncock, a two-time winner here, who is returning to racing following a two year retirement. One reason the N.Y. Yankees arc on top in the AL East goes back to last winter. Pitchers Charlie Hudson, Rick Rhoden and Cecilio Guante are a combined 12-4 with a 2.84 ERA. Meanwhile, the players the Yankees gave up have struggled. Mike Easler (philadelphia) and Doug Drabek (Pittsburgh) are on the disabled list, and Brian Fisher is I-I with a fat 6.38 ERA for the Pirates. Ricky Henderson went into the weekend 22 for 22 on stolen bases, the best start of his career. He also led off the first inning with a home run for the 32nd time in his career last Thursday, three short of Bobby Bonds major league record. He could break that record this year. Another record he is after is Lou Brock's 938 career stolen bases. Ricky went into last weekeend with 679 and projections are he will break Brock's record sometime in 1990. \My goal is to be the fIrst to reach 1,000 steals,\ said Henderson, who will be 31 years old in 1990. If he plays seven or eight years after that, he may even reach 1,500. A sure future Hall of Fame addition to Cooperstown. The Allnighter (PG-13) Good news for you Bangles fans. Susanna Hoffs will not be leaving the group to pursue an acting career. Her debut performance in The Allnighter is, like the fIlm itself, utterly unmoving. Susanna's mom, Tamara Simon Hoffs, along with M.L. Kessler, has fashioned a script that will move you not. It consists of one and one-half hours of people you could care less about doing things you couldn't care less about. Never before have I remained conseious through such a totally unredearnable sereenplay. I cannot stress its weaknesses enough. The story in a nutshell (and it's so basic it could conceivably have been written in one) follows the misadventures of three college seniors on graduation eve. Molly (Hoffs) is forlorn over the prospect of leaving college without experiencing that one, earth-shauering romance. You know - that one we lI!l have in college. She also has to write a graduation speech, as she is the CONSIGNMENT AUCTION LIMA FIRE DEPT. CARNIVAL JUNE 27 . ..

So get this: she decides her big romance should involve an older man, and who should arrive at her house that night but a former rock hero who lived in the house 15 years earlier. Lame, or what? Molly's roomies, Val and .Gina have thier own problems. Val is engaged to a selfIsh, egotistical dweeb. The engagement of this obviously mis-matched pair is never explained in the seript, probably because it's unexplainable. Gina is a video freak who is taping the girls' last 24 hours as a fInal class project. This Pacillca College the girls attend is quite a place. At my school not many final projects were accepted m graduation. Killer and CJ are the male interests (or, more accurately, disinterests). They're stereotypical surfers who call each other 'dewd' too often. CJ is passed off as a pre-law student, which is almost as believable as Molly being the valedictorian. So what happens? There's a big fIesta where all the students get loaded (now there's a novel idea for a movie!). . Valedictorian Molly turns groupie and tracks down the ex- rock star, only to be abandoned on his hotel patio while he entertains another woman (who, for no apparent reason, turns out to be Molly's college adviser - a potential conflict the writers decided to ignore). And Val and Gina get arrested with a gaggle of hookers (is it a gaggle of hookers? Or a flock, or what?) Believe it or don't, not much else happens. Val eventually· breaks her engagement and Molly, whose idealized romance with the rocker didn't work out, settles for the next best thing - a roll in the sack with CJ. The girls, particularly Hoffs, smile and pout, and change outfits and hairstyles - but you can get that from a Sears catalog. I don't mean to harp on the meagerness of the script, it's just that I hate the thought that I may have put more time into writing the review than they put into writing the sereenplay (and they get paid so much more). If you're a big Susanna Hoffs fan and you just D to see The Allnighter, bring along a walkman and some Bangles tapes. Susanna looks great, but the movie's a dog. . RADIO YOU CAN TALK BACK TO.

Listen Saturdays & Sundays. . , IVYSl ?RAIIIIII'\ . • I •• , .... ~ ... :~. \. •• \\ IIi Certainly a lot of people Simply lose interest or are diverted to other noble professions or pastimes. But a lot of other people continue to play. Why do some become successful while others never quite reach the same level of performance? If they worked harder could they too have reached the same degree of success as the all-star performers? The answer is not cut and dry. Elements of both inate potential and the amount of effort and trai?i?g are important in most activities. Everyone has some potential in ~very sport or aCUvlty; SO.me people have great natural ability in one sport and very little 10 another. Everyone IS different. How much you practice and condition will determine how close you come to reaching your potential. And that's all you can realistieally expect from yourself. . Eac~ sport, and some more than others, has characteristics which make specillc phYSical attnbutes more advantageous. Some obvious examples are height for a basketball player and size for a football lineman. While these are not the only requirements (long live Spud Webb) they sure help. . Other'sports are not as obvious. Great sprinters have a great amount of fast twitch musele fiber while successful distance runners have mostly slow twitch fiber. (That's one reaso~ :-,,:hy it is dimcult to be both a great sprinter and a great distance runner.) Some acUvlties are very complex and require many different skills and abilities (some seemin~ly in conflict with each other). Think of everything that a baseball catcher mus~ do. QUickness, power, strength, dexterity as weil as stamina are all job reqwrcments. Research has gouen very specific in determining probability of success for many sports. The Soviet Union and East German have for years tested school children for muscle fIber content, muscle size potential and bone structure to determine who is best suited for various athletic careers . . People are ususally not surprised to hear that they will probably never break 9.5 seconds In the 100 yard dash or run a marathon in under 2 hours and 10 minutes. But a lot.ofp~ople m:e surprised to learn that most people could never develop a champion body bUllder.s phYSique. n.o matter how hard they tr.ain. Only a small pereentage of the populauon can reahsucally expect to become an ehte performer in any of these activities. . But don't get discouraged. You can still be the best player you are capable of be1Og. And many sports are not so clear cut. Physical and mental skill as well as training and dedication are crucial variables in athletics. Even the example given above involve extensive training in order to come near one's potential. . .,< .• >
