WIIITBY FREE PRESS. WEDNESDAY,JULY 22, 1981, PAGE 23 Whitby Free Press SPORTS WEEK Peterboro ends perfect season defeating CBC The Peterborough James Gang rounded out what was for them a perfect season by defeating the Whitby CBC Builders 19-14 last Wednesday night. The James Gang had an almost flawless at- tack and just as good a defense to complete the 21-game regular season without a loss. Rob MacLean, the netminder for the Builders, seemed to have his - problems around the goal letting in shots that he nor- mally doesn't. However, tempers were flared on occasion throughout the game and despite the local squad's best efforts they were no match for Peterborough's team which could simply do no wrong. "To me it as just another game. But now that I think about it, maybe I should have treated it differently," was the post-game comment of the Builder's Jim Hinkson. "They (the James Gang) had more on the line. Give them credit. They have a lot of talent - solid everywhere." The Builders' scoring efforts were led by Gil Nieuwendyk who not only was successful in making presence known around the Peter- borough net but scored five goals as well. John Fusco added three markers while a Local roller skating champs Sherri McCumber, 17, and Jim Crouch, 19, from Whitby, and representing the Durham Region, cap- tured first place in the Canadian Roller Skating World Class Senior Dance and in The World Class Senior Free Dance held in Winnipeg this past week. Jim Crouch also won first place in the men's figures, sophomore category. The couple will now represent Canada at world games in Santa Clara, California, July 27 to 30, competing against the no. 1 teams from the United States, Australia, Germany, Italy and Great Britain. two goal performance was added by Todd Tran. Rounding out the scoring for the local club turning one goal apiece were: Dan Mark, Ed Derks, Rick Nieuwendyk and Wayne Crawford. The Builders were behind from the opening face-off with Peter- borough having a 3-0 lead by the six minute mark of the first period. The James Gang were enjoying a 7-4 lead going into the second period and led by 14-9 going in- to the final frame. Having played two complete periods, MacLean was replaced in net at the beginning of the third period by Dave Holdings who could not hold off the attack pressed by the Peter- borough forwards. Flaring tempers eventually caused an altercation behind the Peterborough net half- way through the final period with three players from each side doing a little pushing, shoving and punching. The Builders' Wayne Crawford was handed two five-minute majors, another five-minute penalty for throwing an object and a 10-minute misconduct. Whitby's Todd Tran and Rick Nieuwendyk also received major penalties. The squad also suf- fered a setback when Ed Derks left the floor with what was apparently a serious knee injury. An examination was con- ducted after the game, however, the results were not known at press time. Silver medals Chris Donnelly of the Whitby Iroquois Swim Club walked away with two silver medais at the Ontario provincial age group championships that were held recently in Ottawa. Donnelly, 10, won the silver in both the 100- and 200-metre backstroke. In the 100- metre event, he was two seconds off the Canadian record. Donnelly will compete in the Haliburton Lake marathon on the Civic Day weekend in August. Last year, he placed second in this event behind an 18-year old. Other competitors from the Whitby club in the Ottawa champion- ships were Colleen Cout- ts, Janice Currie and Brent Walsh. Coutts had a personal best effort in one event.

Supt. Richard Bodley told a news conference that the association, with 18 top officers, will donate a trophy for a game between the Pickering-Ajax Dol- phins and the Oshawa Hawkeye Legionaires. The number of games at the bowl this year in- dicates what has hap- pened to football in the area. Last year, only one trophy was needed because although the Dolphins had three teams, Hawkeyes only had one. But football has prac- tically doubled in a year. The Hawkeyes now have three teams and the Dolphins have four, having added midgets who will play in al all-Ontarioleague. The association's ) sponso: trophy will go to the winner of the bantam game. The bowl will be played Augâist 23 at Oshawa's Civic Fields. The three games are for atoms (aged nine to 11), peewee (12-13), and bantams (14 and 15). Bodley said Durham police like to involve themselves as much as they can with organiza- tions dedicated to youth and sports. Both Gord Carey, founder of the Hawkeye boys' clubs, and Ron Stinson, president of the Dolphins, thanked the police. "We can't say enough about them, especially Supt. Bodley, because he has been involved so much with amateur sport," said Carey. "It s a fine example òf com- munity spirit." Stinson told the news conference that both thé Dolphins and Hawkeyes try to do more than just teach football. "We teach things like Durham Bowl self respect and pride," he said. He also said that the addition of the Dolphin midget team now means the club can take boys through football from the age of 9 to 18. "Our bantams won the Ontario champion- ship last year and many of those fine players would have had to look elsewhere if they wan- ted to keep playing. Some may never have played again. But we're keeping football in our area and we're pleased we can. It's a great game." Boys wanted to play football The Oshawa Hawkeye Legionnaires are looking for boys bet- ween the ages of nine and 15 to compete in their minor football league. The Legionnaires are sponsoring teams in three different age cate- gories: atoms from nine to 11 years old; pee- wees from 12 to 13 years; and, bantams from 14 to 15 years old. There is a $45 regis- tration fee, payable only when the boy-makes the team. All equipment, except shoes, will be provided. All teams are handled by experienced and well qualified coaches. For more information about the teams, coaching, or any other aspect of the Legion- naires call Gord Carey at 668-2312 or Doug Christies at 576-3233. i j
