and Quote from the world of sport by Denis Gibbons For a team that in the opinion of Warrior coach Jack Leach shouldnt have been given an automatic berth in the August50LA Junior tournament Acton Rams have been doing quite well for themselves lately especially against the hot and cold Warriors The rapidly improving Rams nosed out Leachs squad 1817 before a noisy crowd at the community centre Monday night for only their fourth win in league games but second in three starts against Rexdale Victory was doubly sweet for the Rams who had come out on the short end of three previous one goal decisions on their home floor Whats more it was particularly timely in view of the act Leach had launched a move to have the site of the August tournament switched from Acton to Rexdale as recently as Friday He called me to say he thought the tournament should be moved and be revised to include more than four teams Ram manager Alan Hall reported He said he didnt think it was fair for a team as low in the standings as Acton to be In there According to Hall Leach said he was supported in his feelings in a telephone poll to team reps in Bolton Wallaccburg and Midland He apparently did not contact and Windsor the leagues top two teams and the two most likely to get berths in the tournament under the present arrangements Acton and were the only two teams tomake a bid to host the event and OLA officials obviously impressed by the recordbreaking playoff crowds here last season as well as the enthusiasm of the Ram executive accepted the Acton bid It was probably no coincidence that Leach waited until his club hit a hot streak to challenge rules for the tournament which were finalized at a meeting over a month ago Coming into Acton Monday night had won four of its last five gnmes losing only by a single goal to the league- leading and had become a threat to beat out Windsor Warlocks for second place and a tournament berth Rom officials have been busy preparing for the Civic Holiday weekend tourney which has now been set to coincide with a gala Gay dance cosponsored by the Rams and the Acton Sabres Junior hockey club An allexpense paid trip to Edmonton to represent Ontario in the Castrol Cup Canadian junior lacrosse championships beginning August is the prize up for grabs in the tourney OLA SecretaryManager Jnck Christie told me last week the tournament victors will have their expenses about per cent taken care or thanks to a fund into which each of Ontarios Junior teams have deposited and a government recreation grant The winners will also collect per cent of the gate receipts of the Acton tournament The Ram organization has definitely proven over the past three years it deserves to host the tournament Whether the present Ram team is worthy of an automatic berth may be a point for debate but If our information Is correct the decision to include the top two teams in the final standings an Eastern Ontario representative plus the host team was made before the season started and agreed to by all teams Each one of them had a chance to submit a bid In any case Rams arc now playing Incrossc equal in calibre to any team in the province after a dismal StarBand remarks may just be enough to spur them on to bigger and better things in August Instead of trying to switch the site of the tournament the mentor might do well to find a way to stop
