Junior C Kama lacrosse team could be placed Into limbo while organ concentrate their efforts on developing a stronger foun dation for the sport among minor teams Rams coach Mike said this has indeed been A disappointing season up only four isolated victories for team that had earned itself a berth in the play every year since its round ing a decade ago What happened to the form champions who Mr Mar admitted Looked good on paper at the beginning of the 19T7 season There a probably a million and one things I could tell you about the discouraged coach and long time lacrosse siast said We had a fairly talented team and I thought wed make the playoffs this year According to Mr Marcoux the problems this year centred on two factors The decline or minor lacrosse action and the current lack of team spirit among the Junior players In the post few years he explained Acton youngsters have been offered the unities to participate In an unprecedented number of summer sports never before popular in the area Lacrosse once the perennial favorite of energetic kids has suffered as a result so that fewer players entering the junior lacrosse circuit can claim to have gained that all important ex provided by the or teams Consequently Ram presl dent Larry Port and manager Ian Campball could well be considering the same long range strategy that Mr Mar believes will eventually put the Rams back on top The fate of the Rams during the next two years is in doubt ho said since It has become obvious that Actons two re maining minor teams cannot chum out the high calibre players needed to bolster the Junior squad That strategy worked for Mr Mar said having been bus for a brief period so the minor circuit could be This season the Bolton juniors came back to knock the Rams out of a chance In the play The Rams apparent lack of spirit this season witnessed many players whose Interest were some times widely t the Ob tar to Summer Tougher competition more participation It was a little tougher this year but eighteen year old Steve Turner of Pennington has again returned for the Ontario Summer Games gold medal in wrestling Competing In the IW pound weight class Steve found the competition

his coach Bob McKay would like to organize a club so that some top name wrestlers in this area can train through the falling to attend practices and out of town games Mr said The coach was as a result hard pressed Introduce cf feclive team work strategies Into the Ram efforts The relatively large number of rookie players on the team In addition perhaps cut Into lis abilities Attempt to overcome the players apathy such as out side social activities pro mote camaraderie failed to produce any sound results Mr Marcoux commented The forts or even the team best players like potential atari George Art em Ron Turkosz and Kevin Marcoux seemed Inconsistent from game to game A lot of time up too easily Mr Marcoux said 1 vc been on losing teams myself and If you don have it then you don have It The players think they re really working but some games they just won t put out The Rams nevertheless did lively welt in ing fans to home games An average attendance of about 100 spectators kept the team financially in the black though Mr Marcoux suspects that even the fans were beeem ing frustrated over the play era easy going attitudes Mr Marcoux contention that the younger players coming to the

tne Mid get Reps not to mention the NHL themselves By LAURlfc WALLACE Hers Ids porta editor One thing that all athletes are by at one point or another is the problem of injuries Often these are unavoidable but all too frequently they are caused from lack of proper coaching or inadequate warmups Being on the injured list many times myself I know and understand the agony of being sidelines In my opinion the problem often lies with the coach or athlete who is in too much of a hurry to turn out a great performance Athletes tike a good wine take time to mature Into greatness Another common problem involving Injuries Is that the injured athletes or their coach does not know how to handle the situation One word of advice can add from personal experience Is never delay treatment of an injury in hopes that will mend you re likely to end up paying in the long end Never force yourself past the point of pain when it comes to training You know when your body has had enough Short sessions of repeated training are in most caws going to be more valuable Rushing into a sport with the proper fitness level only leads to injuries which may hamper performance I m not saying give up when you tire but don pretend you re a great champion either The same holds true lo with chronic injuries such as shin There Is nothing anyone can do hasten the needed recovery period Repealed damage to an already Injured spot only leads to serious and even permanent damage Regardless of the sport athletes and coaches should always be ready for an Injury occur Make sure you know what to do before It happens There should be ice packs on hand in case of torn ligaments or muscles a stretcher 1 possible and a phone no that If an ambulance is needed a call can be placed Immediately And most important or nil If there is doubt as lo he seriousness or the Injury do not move the patient until someone qualified to make a diagnosis Is present After sustaining an Injury that sidelines the athlete the hardest pari begins that la trying to gel back Into competitions with out repealing the injury It ishardtoilt back lake it when that Is the last thing wanted but It has to be done Take the advice of the doctor who Is Hip Injury try remember the pain felt when the injury ixcurrrd and think about whether or not you want that happen again Fur pot pie however one injury can do the trick It hard to move Into something one have particular sport under your Ml mil giving up on physical altogether la giving up on a gift Chronic Injur It can almost always be avoided yi know and most of al don any Injury del ion far ahead of you
