OLYMPICS ASSESSMENT Coaches will meet OTTAWA (CP) - The Coaching Association of Canada will hold a post-Olympics symposium at Montebello, Que., Nov. 6-10 to study Canada's performances at the 1976 Winter and Summer Games and analyse the preparation of teams and coaching techniques. "Canada moved from 21st place in Munich to 11th in Montreal and over all we feel our teams and coaches did well," said executive director Lyle Makosky in making the announcement Tuesday. "What we want to examine at our symposium, is which programsmong all the agencies involved were the most successful and why. "It's generally accepted in the amateur sports community that the sports that did well at the Olympics are the ones which hired top-quality coaches early enough to have an effect. We'd like to examine their techniques and their implications for making better use of coaches and coaching in the future." , Among those invited to take part are all national team coaches plus representatives of some non-Olympic sports and such agencies as the Canadian Olympic Association, Game Plan and the O'Keefe Sports Foundation. The symposium, staged with a grant from the COA's Olympic Trust, will be under the direction of Dr. Geoff Gowan, technical co-ordinator of the coaching association. Then hopes for, the best RON ALLERTON SPORTS EDITOR 562-2441 Kings need win today to keep four-point lead changes had to be made after last weekend's performance, when Prince George managed just a split with the inexperienced Fort St. John Golden Hawks. "I was so mad I was shaking. There were some guys out there who weren't even trying. If a guy has a bad game, but he's working and he works in practice, I don't mind that. But guys who go out and go through the motions half asleep and don't make an effort in practice have to make a change. "The trouble is they know they have a good team and let themselves get lackadaisical. They think someone else will do it. That is going to change." Juvenile goalie Cyril Fowlie, who played with the Kings in their opening exhibition games, was practicing with the team again Tuesday. Darcy Koch will start in goal tonight and Claude Bertoli will be the back-up. "I brought Cyril back because he gives 100 per cent all the time and I want him to be ready in' case something happens. "Nobody has a lock on his position on this team. Some guys better learn that." Prince George has not lost to Quesnel in one exhibition and one league game this year. The Kings won both games' 7-3, but they were played in the Coliseum. Prince George has not had much success in Quesnel, winning just twice in eight tries last season. Quesnel split a pair with Dawson Creek during the weekend and is two points behind third place Fort St. John. The club is stronger than was expected, as defencemen Don Soroke and Win Winoski have returned to complement a potent offence. Quesnel's only weakness is goaltending. Game time is 8:30 in the Quesnel Arena.

Canada won the September tournament in a final series against Czechoslovakia after a round-robin schedule that included national teams from the Soviet Union, Sweden, Finland and the United State;.

The 6-foot-l, 195-pound Oliver played with San Francisco in the National Football league two seasons ago and played 14 games for Buffalo of the.

The NHL association received 29 shares and the WHA organization two. There was $465,000 in prize money, with $100,000 going to the first-place team. Toronto lawyer'Alan Eagle-son, the NHL Players' Associa tion mentor who organized the tournament, had estimated expenses of $3 million to pay for teams' travel, meals, rink rental, training camps, insurance and prize money. He also estimated gross revenue of $7 million, including 55 million from television rights. "The incredible thing is that the NHL" Players' 'Association received $150,000 less fromlthe Canada Cup than it did from our games against the Soviet Union last winter," said Campbell, referring to an eight-game tour of NHL cities by two Soviet teams last season. Campbell said European teams have discovered that international tournaments are losing propositions because of the expenses involved. "They can't even sell their own out. No wonder the Europeans jumped at the chance to come over here for the Canada Cup. We pay their transportation, expenses; everything. Then they bleed us dry and also wind up with a lot of our money. It doesn't make any sense." The NHL president said ticket prices for the tournament were excessive and "the average fan watching on TV got a real bargain." Campbell suggested an alternative to tournament play.-"The North American champion should play the European champion. . . . It'd be just like the World Series."
