Blades blast Junior B refs The Blades plan to approach the with several suggestions to prove the refereeing and reduce violence in the Ccnlral Junior Hockey League The Sabres play in this league The Blades along with the Burlington Cougars were reported last week to be considering a move to the Golden Horseshoe loop in the Southern Ontario Hockey league Both teams now plan lo stay Murray Walker manager of the Blades had said the learn was considering pulling out of the league because of the increased use of violence by some of the league teams particularly the However examining the Golden Lea which both teams had considered shifting to the Blades executive dcided the style of play any than the Central league As I before we wire not reillv thit anxious to move commented Walker Tht possibility was brought Ion Walker claims and we I hough we should at least ex it Bill Elliot Cougar manager claims the reports lhat Burlington would with draw from the league were blown out of proportion We re not pulling out of the league he said It just something we look at every year The Burlington manage ment however did a meeting April of the South Ontario Jr A Hockey League which is desperately looking for hockey teams lo keep thai league alive Last year the SOHL con of teams from Hamil ton Owen bound Guclphand Collingwood but the latter two are not returning next year The convener Jim King said seven or eight groups meeting including Burlington who said were very in le res ted in tht league When questioned said his team would not be entering the or the past two years Vern Gooding the manager of the Milton has considered maoving his club to the but he said they haven given it any thought this year That leagues prelty well fallen apart said Gooding There not much use stick ing our necks out in that lea Since is remaining in Ihe Central group Walker said he will be making suggestions at an upcoming OHA convention on ways to reduce the violence in the lea Sabres new coach Chapman sympathizes with Ihe but agrees something must be done He does not feel that the refereeing was all bad however There were some bad situations but also some good games He wis unwilling lo com menl on officiating because Ihe Sabres had so many games last year and because he did not feel he bad enough information about th situation I can I very ell evaluate this thing as an outsider He did however say I d tike to sec a general improvement Walker feels the main pro blem lies with the league s officiating which he describes as something less than desirable Unfortunately our league has been crying to the for long lime the officiating he added Chapman wondered If at some games Ihe reforests were in shape keep up with play He was reluct lo place any blame for this saying he didn have enough information It will be interesting to sec whal happens he concluded suggested the learns in the league should consider paying an extra or 111 a game for each referee in order to attract better He aid would this move but 1 speak for other club ng agreed more h ive to be paid Iter but Chapman docs not see how a pay raise will help How does paying more improve officiating Money got nothing to do with it There s got to be a better schooling system He stressed that he is in no position to Compare the Central league with any other As for violence hockey is an emotional game a high speed game with lot of tut reactions There always some fellow who II take eheiu shot Officials hive tough situation he Walker felt more res ponsibihty should rest with the in controlling their learns In the ise of bench ing fights felt coaches should suspended and fined for be game get out of control along with his players We got to make the management notice said Walker When lhe have lo start paying money out of Iheir own pockets Ihey re either going to tell the coach to control his team or gel a coach who can Chapman also feels that the coaches should have some of the responsibility for ihe violence A lot of lip service has been about violence in hockey said Walkei Attorney General toy MeMurtry has been doing a lot of yelling but he s going after the pros The place to slip the violence is in amateur system You micjil even have to go down into Ihe minor ACTON S FAIRWAYS ARE drying out and players are taking to the links again Tim Coles and Steve Garrett enjoyed some early golfing Friday John Because of the apparent popularity of new Judo course being run by the recreation department it might be a good idea to find out a little bit about what this ex popular sport is really all about now years old is commonly called a martial it is far removed from whatever warlike beginnings its ancestor sports may have had It is like all things oriental deprcssingly deep and philosophical in nature if yougettooclose Its immediate forerunner jujitsu was begun during a period in Japan when the wearing of swords was banned and became a popular method of selfdefence By Ihe late s it had deteriorated to the level of a sort of dancing bear on a chain type of routine like professional wrestling today Jigoro Kano born in I860 was thoroughly trained in jujitsu and recognized the benefit which could come of it He left jujitsu organization in 1862 and opened a school theKodokan andbeganteachingjudo The Kodokan started with only nine members but grew rapidly and in 1886 a tournament was arranged between fifteen judo men The judo men won all but two bouts which they tied By that time the technical end of Judo had been pretty well set while the spiritual side of the sport was perfected in when the Kodokan Cultural Society was formed in The Doctrine of Gentleness Judo may be translated as the Doctrine of Gen lleness The symbol of Judo is a willow blossom which bends with the wind instead of fighting it and therefore does not break When the wind ceases the tree returns to its normal position and continues growing This is the same as the principle of Instead of resisting an opponent the Judo player allows himself to be pushed and by yielding at the proper moment throws his opponent off balance gaining the advantage In this way a strong one in a Judo match It works and this is what most people will be looking for the ability to throw their big brother into the wall Once you gel past this Bruce attitude towards Judo you run into the philosophical end of it Mental preparation is very important in Judo If the principal of yielding can be considered first principal of Judo then the ultimate concern of Judo is Ihe supreme goal which can be attained only by those who having thoroughly mastered the art and spirit of contention have transcended all notions of victory and defeat Judo obviously is more than just throwing somebody down on the ground There is a whole philosophy here which normally found in Western sports Can you imagine Ihe Philadelphia Flyers going inloa hockey game with the attitude thai they should not use any method thai may injure the opponent because such to a person goes against the spirit of mutual welfare and benefit It wouldn quite fit them Grading system in judo Judo as everyone knows has different belts which indicate the wearer s rank within the overall Judo organization The earlier belts while yellow orange green blue brown are all considered Beginner s ranks while Ihe twelve levels or dans of black belt are advanced players Movement up through the beginner ranks can be fairly rapid depending on the amount of enthusiasm shown but the move into a black belt is different The beginner s ranks require just the mastery of eight new throws per belt along with The move into black bells Is strictly controlled by the Canadian Judo Association and involves a minimum of one year at the brown belt level and three years overall and usually will lake much longer than that Balance and agility In the meantime while you are wailing to move up and become a black belt you will be teaming on awful lot about balance and agility things which can help you In any sport you play Mental discipline will also be im proved by judo Ladies can play too There is in Ontario a Women Judo Division which took shape in 137 1 There are now competitions being held for women judo players as well as men Judo made It to the Olympics In 1964 The first open weight judo gold medallist was not
