The Soviet Union is third at 1-0-0. The United States, considered still in the forma tive stages in international hockey, outshot the Canadians 8-6 in the fi nal period, aided by good forecheck ing. The Canadians finished with 27 shots against 24 for the Americans. The six teams in the series are Canada, United States, Russia, West Germany, Sweden, and Czechoslo vakia. The heavily favored Russian team has been picked by many hockey ob servers to repeat as winners of the Canada Cup. In the 1981 Canada Cup, Russia embarrassed the Ca nadian squad 8-1 in the finals. q.

Two-time Norris Trophy winner Rod Langway gave the United States a 1-0 lead at 6:44 of the first period.

Rick Middleton tied score at 14:46 of the period, taking a pass from Michel Goulet in the slot and send ing a quick wrist shot past goaltender Tom Barrasso. The Canadians went ahead just over two minutes later with de fenseman Doug Wilson scoring on a booming drive from the blueline.

And Coach Bob Ellis won’t know any of the answers until his linksters have stared straight into the face of the competition. “There’s a lot of question marks,” says Ellis, “I just don’t know. We’re going to have to put them under the gun and see what happens.” In other words, it’s going to take the pressure and mental strain of competition to Answer some of those questions. Golf is a mental game. Any body who’s played more than a few leisurely rounds in their life time will tell you that some days are great. 1 nen there are the days when you want to fling your driver into the water hazara and go home. It may be caused by stress in the workplace or the rigors of col lege, as in the case of the Aggies. On those days it takes a a mon umental effort to keep playing when the frustration of the pre vious hole causes mistakes on the next. Last season there was good play from different Aggie players at different times, but they never could seem to get outstanding play from everybody in any one tournament. That’s what kept them down. This is a new season, but some of the inconsistencies of last sea son may linger on because the conditions are the same — the good players from junior coki with him.

It’s a very demanding game and it does have a tendency to take away a little bit mentally.” In answer to the question "Is this a rebuilding year,” Ellis re plies, “Could be. It could be bet ter than that. It’s just hard to say. We basically have a lot of good talent that’s comparitively inex perienced.” That talent is compared to the other teams in the Southwest Conference. “If you look at other teams in the SWC,” says Ellis, “they have a lot more experienced people. Houston will be the tough team. Arkansits is very strong. They’ve got a new coach in there from last year and he brought in a lot of dll be trying to qualify fon professional tour.
