Acton Wednesday November 15 from world of sport by Many arguments can be advanced In support of the selection of Howard and Alan Hall as first recipients of j the Charlie Thomson Memorial Plaque But If theres anything that made their recreation contribution to the town of Acton outstanding It has to be the consideration that they started with nothing and in the space of four short years created the towns most popular summer sports attraction The progress of other local organizations although every bit as important seems small In comparison when you look back to the summer of 67 when the only place young boxla players had to try out their shots was the brick wall at the north end of the high school and the Acton arena was attrac ting only a few stray mosdjul toes on Monday nights By there was a Bobby and a Mike Instead of pounding the north wall of the high school they were filling lacrosse nets with goals and putting Acton back in the provincial sports limelight as OL A Junior C champions And the mosquitoes no longer had any fear of losing their way They couldnt get Into the arena for people wiflS when the Rams tangled with In the championship series There were many obstacles to hurdle in between most of which would have caused men with even an ounce less love for the game to say Whats the use Lack of financial backing sports organizations arc used to starting the season with necessitated an annual blitz of merchants and businesses one which was carried out largely on the soles of Howards and Alans shoes There was equipment to buy floor timo to be rented promotion to be arranged players to be transported Then there was the frustration of trying to sort out Instructions from the which sometimes changed two and three times a week and that of counting the empty seats on the players bus when the team travelled out of town to play powerful Junior opponents like Niagara Its all history now and the Rams are here to stay Howard and Alan have made sure of that too by laying the foundation for a promising minor lacrosse program which flourished this summer under the generous sponsorship of the Acton Rotary dub But without Howard and Alan Hall there probably would be no Rams let alone a provincial championship West of Georgetown and near Guelph would have increased In popularity as expressions to describe the location of a town that deserves better a group of teenage boys might have turned their pounding from the high school wall to more sensitive targets and Its certain 500 people would be sitting around wondering what to do on a summer Monday night it v
