PAGE 24, WIITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1987 SPORTS Anderson defeats top-ranked O'Neill Anderson CVI had its biggest vic- tory so far this high school hockey season, doubling O'Neill, Durham's top-ranked team, by a score of 6-3 last week. "You'd think we won LOSSA," said coach Ken Scott of his players after the game. The strong O'Neill team had earlier defeated Anderson this season, a game in which Anderson just "stood around and watched them," said Scott. But the mood, and play, were dif- ferent last Tuesday. "We were just better prepared for the game - knowing we had to come together as a unit," said Scott. "Before we couldn't do anything right. This time, it seemed we couldn't do wrong." Scott credited tenacious forechecking by his "keyed up" players as major element in the win. "We really executed well....they're a good skating team, but so are we." Anderson also. got fine production from its top forward unit and out- standing defenceman. The line of centre Jeff Wiggins, Steve Wing and Jason Gurd accounted for eight points as each scored a goal while Wing added three assists, team captain Wiggins one and Gurd one. Defenceman Wayne Cornish, the team's assistant captain known as "Boom Boom" by his teammates for his big shot, also had a goal while Doug Love led the way with two goals. AI Bickle was in net. The team will lose Bickle after the first semester (end of January) and he will be replaced by Jeremy Stella and Tony Micallef Anderson improved its record to four wins, one loss and two ties while O'Neill suffered its first defeat in seven games. O'Neill then suffered a second straight loss on Thursday when shutout by Eastdale CVI 2-0. On Monday, Anderson ran its record to five wins, a loss and two ties by defeating Ajax 3-0. Wayne Cornish had two goals for ,Anderson with Steve Wing adding a single. Tony Micallef had the shutout. Henry Street High School won its second game of the season with a 2- 1 decision over last-place Harwood. Peter Tyms scored both Henry goals while Jesse James replied for Harwood. Anderson will not meet O'Neill again in the regular season. But Scott is looking beyond the regular schedule. "We'd love to get another shot at them in the playoffs," he said. Scott, co-coach of the team with Rick White, says the team has been hot ever since participating in a tournament in Fenelon Falls in November. Anderson just barely missed get- ting into the championship round of that tournament which featured some of the top high school teams from all over Ontario. Anderson lost a 5-4 decision in overtime to Malvern; a loss that p.roved the difference between championship and consolation play. For Anderson won their next two games in the opening round, 1-0 over a Peterborough school and 5-2 over Eastern Commerce of Toron- to. H.B. Beal of Loncun eventuall3 won the overall championship. "It was a really good measuring stick for us," said Scott of the tour- nament. By BRYCE COOPER The Olympie torch relay has now left five provinces behind as it heads west to complete its journey through the last five and two nor- thern territories. The torch was scheduled to arrive in Ottawa from Hull, Que., today (Wed.) with a large ceremony on Parliament Hill. After spending the morning in Ot- tawa at various other ceremonies the torch will be relayed down to Cornwall and then head west through Kingston, Belleville and then reach Whitby on Dec. 21. The torch is scheduled to be carried along Dundas St. (Hwy 2) with a short ceremony at the Whit- by library, then west to Toronto and the final destination Calgary. Three more Whitby residents and one Brooklin resident have beer chosen to carry the torch in various locations. Robert Hamilton filled out 1,065 applications to make sure that he wasn't going to miss this event. "You are never quite good enough to get there, (the Olympics) but with the torch you're part of it," says the 33-year-old Hamilton, a SANDY MARK of the Whitby Iroquois finishes at a swim meet at Iroquois Park Swim Club, seen here in the 1500-metre on the weekend. freestyle event, had three first-place Free Press photo Armitage wins 4 in dual swim meet Heather Armitage had four first- place finishes while Sandy Mark and Leslie Dowson each sped to three victories for the Whitby Iroquois Swim Club in a dual meet with Scarborough at Anne Ot- tenbrite pool on Sunday.

Ashburn's Beischlag to run By ROXANNE REVELER Ashburn resident Paul Beischlag is one of the fortunate 6,500 Canadians chosen to run the Olym- pic torch on its way to Calgary for the 1988 Winter Games. The 36-year-old mechanical engineer will be running his one- kilometer stretch in the Simcoe area, southwest of Hamilton on Highway 3, on Dec. 28, day 42 of the cross-Canada marathon carrying the Olympie torch through every province in the nation. Beischlag said his choice of location for the run had a dual pur- pose. "We (he and wife Cindy) always spend Christmas in the Simcoe area with our parents. And besides, I thought I would have a better chance of being chosen there rather than in a populated area such as Whitby or Oshawa," he stated. Beischlag admitted he conscrip- ted help from friends and relatives to fill out the 300 or so entries he submitted. But even so, was sur- prised when notified he had been selected. "It's a chance of a lifetime....a once in a lifetime opportunity," said Bieschlag, beaming from ear to ear. He related that the committee overseeing the Olympic torch run had proved to be quite efficient. He has received documentation of exactly where and when he will be carrying the torch. "From my understanding I will start about four kilometers outside of Simcoe," he said. "They allow seven minutes for the one- kilometer run and they have told me to take my time and enjoy it." Bieschlag should have no problems finishing his stint with the torch. He plays hockey and squash to keep in shape and, effective Nov. 1, starting running two kilometers twice a week. He indicated he had been told by the organizing com- mittee not to run with a "dummy" torch for a prolonged period of time as it would throw his balance oTf. But Blischlag admitted he will do a little training carrying a 4-lb. brick, the approximate weight of the Olympic torch. PAUL BEISCIILAG Whitby's Olympic Torchbearers t member of the Metro Toronto Police force. Whitby's Anne Jordan will have absolutely no trouble running her selected kilometre. Jordan was the University of Waterloo's "athlete of the year" last year and this year completed her first triathlon. "I was ecstatic. I was hopping all around the house," says the 23- year-old student, recalling her reaction when she received her let- ter of notification to mn with the ANNE JORDAN torch. Jordan now attends teachers' college at Queen's University. She plans to teach at the high school level. Jordan's only letdown of the Olympie event is that she is unable to run in Whitby. "They were unable to accom- modate all the runners in the places they selected," says Jordan, who instead will in the area of the High- way 115 and Highway 2 junction. Frank Seguin is going well out of his way to run one kilometre. Seguin, of Whitby, is scheduled to run, or ride on a snowmobile, in Inuvik in the Northwest Territories. . Seguin is much relieved now that Canadian Airlines has agreed to subsidize runners who have to fly to their running location. He will now only pay $580 instead of the original SEE PAGE 28 Four more prepare for relay
