Acton may host senior lacrosse ACTON ROCKETS in the black and white shirts defeated a tenacious a torn squad 30 Monday in minor soccer play Acton is having a successful season on the pitches There is a possibility that there will be a Senior lacrosse team in Acton next season although nobody is sure what the move will mean or the Junior C Rams The most likely explanation was provided by George tern captain of the Rams His point was that the Junior Rams would become the Sen lor Rams while a midget or juvenile team would be formed with the younger players Howard Dwyer organizer of the proposed team could not be reached for comment on the move Wayne Young comanager of the Rams this year said I not sure if the junior learn would be dissolved but hope not He added 1 m Seniors split stay sixth Beattie Milne lead league seniors Dominion Day in style by burying Erin 102 in Inter County fastball action Kelly picked up his first in of the season against two losses The Seniors rocked loser for 14 hits in the game including four bagger by Chick Milne his second of the year eh lifted htm into a tie for the league lead in homers Tom Parkinson led the attack wiih three hits followed closely by Phil and Norm with two Realty is leading the league in hitting at the moment swinging the stick at a torrid clip Other hits went to Dave Bruce Ken Ron Kelly John Chick Milne Albert Kelly and Hector Thatcher G Kapp homered for Erin The Seniors were not so lucky on America birthday as costly errors allowed four runs giving the 0 range a victory in innings In all the Seniors com eight errors enough to ensure a loss for starter Bob Shaw now on the year Winning pitcher was D Bur ton The loss dropped the Jock Rams back to full strength can win five more games The Rams this season are suffering one of the most frustrating yeirs a team could imagine Inthestats they are the worst team in the league by a long shot but they have been close enough in many of their games that a healthy club would have given them a win They have been unnaturally handicapped by injuries this season losing their top scorers for a two or three week stretch in which they played most of their games Enough of their losses then were of the one and two goal variety to ensure that they would have been victories with the addition of and The team is back to full strength again and is likely to w in more games in the last few weeks of the season than they have so far this season They play five teams they should be able to beat including Bolton whom they have beaten twice already with only two games that can be considered guaranteed losses Team has undeserved bad boy image in league The Rams have also achieved a distinct bad boy image around the league built mainly on their early season ph Keniner and Chisholm are gone now and with them most of the penalty problems but teams like Dundas still come In looking for a fight from the Rams and egg them on until they get what they re after Thursday game was a case in point Ron no model of cool headed play was hounded and provoked all night not giving in to the temptation until late in a very frustrating third period The fracas that resulted counted for most of the penalty time of The team has proven that it is capable of playing a clean game as penalty minutes have dipped as low as against teams t look for trouble Verbal outbursts from the bench do little to erase the image Coach Mike has shown a great deal of trouble controlling his emotions in the box and has been thrown out number of a result Overall though the team has cooled dawn considerably games Sports bad for health major govt study finds Even before I was a sports editor there were sports There might not be when I m done I am categorically opposed to any physical activity which could be detrimental to the health Which includes most sports Therefore I am starting a campaign to eliminate physical activity from everyone a life starting with mine After all science can prove that sports are bad for you When you play a sport you exercise and get stronger or quicker This means obviously that you ore changing your body although some misinformed wretches would say for the better Actually changing your body means making it into something which it was not meant to be which means making it unnatural which means that God will punish you for altering his handiwork It Just t pay to mess with God in matters like that You don even have to wait until after you re dead to feel the ill effects You II find your cheeks flushed with an unnatural glow your body s metabolism will work with fiendish efficiency and worst of all you may become violently anticigarettes and people won tlikeyou And everybody knows that women prefer men who are small and weak to men who are strong and virile It helps to know calculus too Why girls Ju3t go over a healthy pot belly A well padded thigh will catch their eye With a hey nonny nonnyandahachacha With all this in mind am going to circulate a petition when I get the energy to have all sports abandoned In Acton After all what good is health If it going to kill 10U Senior record to good for sixth place in Inter County standings A win would hove given them fifth Bob Shaw did not go down without a struggle as he belted his first of the year a three run blast He also struck out 14 in the game which given the way his teammates were handling the ball in the field was the only safe way to get an out He gave up hits but according to Norm it wis the errors that did them in John Parkinson Bob Shaw and Ron Kelly each got two hits for the Seniors The Seniors face league iding tonight in Fergus and return to Rock wood Monday to play Hills burgh The team will be partici paling in the annual Bade- tourney

Young He named himself Mike Mar Mike Campbell Doug Taylor Kevin Mar and possibly Ron Turk as possible players for the team Bob has said he would give it a shot as well while brother Gary is stdl around to play goal One problem One of the problems in with the idea the need to have four teams to form a league preferably a Senior B squad Right now and are talking about starling teams According to Artem Dwyer won start until he approached by teams Most pluyers talked to seem glad to sec the of a teim All peopk asked said they would play for it and expressed confidence in ability to pull it off He knows how to start a teim he has he business know how to do it he said Mike Marcoux made the only negative comment of all people the Free Press con tacted Right now every body says it would be nice to play but next year we have to see what we ve The immediate outlook for a junior team does not look too good if the senior team comes Into existence as ap pears fairly certain The older players would be taken into the senior squad while the younger ones became part of the Juvenile team which would grow up into a new junior team in a few years time so the long term outlook is fine for junior
