and lost each game convincingly However Pries sold he could notice an improve ment in the Swedish team piny In their first game with we must have had to go out and pick up bodies en times be said They learned checking was a part of the game and overall I would say they learned a lot Saturday against Georgetown minor midgets the Swedish team dropped an decision at the Alcott Arena But not all of the touring loam lime was spent on the Ice In heir spare time the Swedish players and coaching staff visited shopping malls and tourist We went to the Science Centre and I was with the of he team who

GMHA president The sports editor of he Milton paper openly said he nought fans should have got en a refund for having to watch this farce Pries sold thought that was uncalled for Take part in Milton tournament Cross country skiing Chateau bants win lose draw Seek help from qualified instructor If one has an athletic background I would suggest that It Is possible for a beginning cross country skier to teach himself or herself to become proficient at the sport This type of individual learns by watching others by reading articles on technique and through dedication However for the vast majority it Is probably best to seek out a qualified Instructor and get off lo a proper start Either way the secret to success is practice practice and ore practice Let look at the basic techniques and skills that one should able to perform In order to enjoy the sport When going downhill bend the knees slightly and lean forward with most of your wight on the balls of your feet The heels should be lightly resting on your skis The arms should be bent at he elbows so that the forearms are perpendicular to your skis The poles will be extended slightly behind your feet Your skis should be approximately six inches apart or as wide as the tracks allow The important thing to remember is to relax Take a deep breath and let your skis run Avoid hesitation and continue lo lean forward In the downhill position until you come a complete stop It Is nol so difficult The most common and simplest method used Is As the name implies your skis form an inverted V the tips of your skis are a few inches apart while tails are considerably farther apart larger you make the the more your speed will be reduced The secret work is Inside edging The speed Is dictated by how much pressure you place on the Inside edges of bath skis against snow Find a fairly well slope and practice the until you are able to consistently regulate your speed Try fall relaxed sideways and backwards so you land in soft snow not on hard skis It is quite normal to fall frequently when learning how to ski down bills It Is therefore very important for a skier to learn how to get up the easy way The following steps should be taken 1 The pole straps should be removed from the wrists While the skier is lying on his side the skis should be brought around so that they are parallel lo one another If the skis are tangled the skier should roll onto hi back so that both skis are In the air over his body He should then swing them so that they are parallel to one another and across the slope below and should lower tham Into the snow at right angles to fall line 3 The knees should be bent so that the skis are brought under the body as dose as possible The inner edge of Ihe downhill ski and the outer edge of the uphill ski should be dug into the snow The skier should grasp both poles so thai they are next to each other thus acting as a single pole The ski pole tips are placed uphill In the snow The poles are grasped Just above the baskets with one hand The other hand is placed halfway up the shafts skier can now push himself up into a sitting position or onto his knees and then up Into a standing position Always remember that it is critical that iheskis be parallel to the side of the hill If the skis are not parallel to the side of the hill hey will slide downhill as the skier gels up This usually results in another fall and the skier has to start the process all over again Georgetown Chateau the lone goal Restaurant minor for the Chateau squad bantams won lost and unassisted tied at a
