The Acton Wed Nov S with Denis Gibbons What a difference a year makes Last November the paces of Wellington County newspapers were filled with reports on the successes of the Fergus Green Machine Now its hard to find out if the machine is even still running It took Fergus officials two whole days to burp up the score of last weeks game in Bradford after the machine swallowed a defeat Accounts of subsequent games with Schombcrg and Stayner have been conveniently absent You can bot they werent much more favorable Sabres have a lot of catching up with the machine to do in their three year arch rivalry nevertheless Fergus has won nine of the 11 games played between the two teams since this group began play in 1971 And though it pains to admit it the absence of clever players like the Fleming twins Sandy and Randy and Griffin will make the Central league a little less exciting this Charlie McRae the rapido who captained Acton CFAW midgets last season finally donned a Sabre uniform for the

for better lighting or insulation but at least the arena staff has made the best of a poor situation with a few gallons of bnghtcolored paint and four heaters one hockey fan told me Visiting teams have been high in praise of ice conditions something Acton has always taken pride in Whenever we went into Acton the ice was as smooth as a babys bottom Georgetown Raider centre Junior Tlbbetts reminded me the other night The holes the arena roof have a lot to do with keeping the temperature of the building they did when you played for Cheltenham Junior Ann Pool coach of the Acton High junior girls basketball team which finished just a game below 500 7 and dropped three games by less than five points says shes looking forward to a big season next year We nave our two high scorers Maria and Susan Thomson back and two of our overage players Maureen and Nancy are taking up Actons the only town in the county that didnt have its own this year Miss Pool related with a smile of an Seriously the junior girls surprised a lot of teams that had written Acton off as pushovers including the Perdue five which was forced into a sudden death playoff with Milton after losing to AHS the
