players leave Russiani blue By Dave Darken There something old something new and some thing borrowed All of this is making Acton Sabres coach Jules blue The Central Ontario Junior Hotkey League mentor is faced with the same worries of the fall past his club made considerable on ice improvement since the start of the season nearly days ago Unlike last year Russiani t have his mature solid corps of experienced players Instead he is faced with a group of young green but hope fully highly talented players who need some lime to mature both Individually and as a team Like last year a few teams in the larger metro- poll have relatively flawless seasons thus far has gone unscathed in nine games for first spot Burlington and are locked In a tie for second spot with a healthy record sabres Secondrate Meanwhile the rest of the second division arc all stuck together in the basement with less than half as many wins Sabres and arc tied for fourth only two games from last spot It the some old thing places with a big tion have preseason ice available They get a jump on everybody i d Russia i The coach said Ids club was best In the league for the final half of the season but most of the early season trying to make up for their record While this lack of icetime hurt Sabres the re suffering from a far more serious all inconsistency Sabres have four plays for moving the puck out of their end and into the opposition side In practice ani sees perfect execution of these plays but when it counts Sabres freeze up I seen this in bantam but In bantam this is expected You don expect this from a Junior B club he said The coach has been doing everything possible to try and rectify the problem but it been to no avail Last weekend Sabres played a pair of dismal games but still skated away with a win Thursday Acton beat Dixie Friday at home they dropped an decision to Richmond Hill We beat Dixie by three goals but things Just felt our way At times we played well but it one of our 1 ass games The coach was even more critical of Sabres drubbing by Richmond Hill That was probably the worst game Ive seen slnccl vccoachedtheSabres ho winced said he trying anything and everything to help improve the team play One thing he do ing is having the club get together every Wednesday for a little dry land training There three reasons for the dry land ex plained the coach Number one the team a little out of shape number two there so many new players we have to get the team together number three is we have to get the team thinking as a unit Sabrc3 attitudes change quicker than Doctor JekylltoMr Hyde I a little confused they show enthusiasm on the bench in the dressing room and in practice but in a game situation I Just can put my finger on t execute the enthusiasm we show in the dressing roam when we get on the ice I m a little confused mused Confidence could bo the key to solve Sabres pro blems thinks the coach Wo re trying to build on their confidence with a lot of the young they re weak on confidence The ability Is there it s Just not coming out ho said One way to help the players improve their con fldcncc is the use of plus and minus figures the amount of goals scored on a player compared to the amount he helped score Figures are a very important part of the game when the boys see the figures posted on the board In the dressing room It keeps them Interested In who ahead of whom Thev Kid each other about it said Russiani It puts them into competition with one another this point got to try anything If this t cause a change In Sabres on Ice game situation play then has Just one other alternative airlifting In new players We II have to start looking to add players if there no improvement We 11 let some of the players sit out a few games let their thoughts go In the proper directions he said One player who has nothing to worry about is former Juvenile Don Brown Selfcentred Don is playing real well he skating and work well praised the coach He really been coached to be strong centre he never really had proper coaching He starting to learn to work with his wingers and his strong skating and puck ing abilities make up for any mistakes he makes Brown had an assist in the Sabres loss to Rich Hill Friday night Mark Duval Ken Wade Vickeryand Paul Starkseored for Acton Bobby Stark Vermuelen and Mike scored for Sabres in the win over Dixie Sabres had a tic going into the second period against Richmond Hill Richmond Hill went up In the second frame and Sabres Just thavo any power to match Richmond JIl third period surge Against Dixie Sabres edged Beehives on the board in the opening round then hit another three markers in the second and were able to keep the third period scoreless to hold onto the win Sabres will need more than a few breaks If they hope to have a successful weekend They face the tough squad at homo Friday night at the- Community Centre Sunday Sabres travel to Thornhill to play With any luck Sabres will hear the theme song they borrowed from their Buffalo namesakes A triple threat for Red seniors senior girls basketball club Is hoping bad luck reallv docs only come in threes If the old wives tale holds true the A US team shouldn be due for any more bad breaks than they encountered In Inst weeks Basketball League play were battling for a shot at the playoffs in the tough East division but ran into problems when they met up White Oaks last Thursday The girls were floating on a comfortable J4 1 lead before problems started to plague them Judy Vctrlcck top on the club broke her ankle scoring leader Lynda fouled out and speedster Mardie Phillips was with i horse All of these problems combined to leave Acton just one point shy of White Oaks when the final buzzer sounded We blew a game with Milton by two points then lost to White Oaks by one said coach Lyn McLaren record of embarrassing but might not even be enough for a spot in the The only chance AHS has of making the playoffs lies ironically enough In the same team that may have eliminated them from post season play White Oaks If the White Oaks team can beat Oakville or Trafalgar this Thursday then it will force a tie breaker between White Oaks and Aclon Yesterday Re play was typical of en tire league as played a strong game to edge Queen Elizabeth Park Eagles 4037 Coach McLaren was very liberal with his praise of the

rebounding well Kelly White one of her better of the year and so did Case he DeBruyn had a good considering her shooting was impaired since she hurt her back skating The coach feels his team is

kids a weaker learn last season have matured They have three real ly good athletes On given we could them or they could us he said Of the nine teams in the league only Purdue and C The other five or six teams are all just coin loss he said Hopefully Redmen will win his loss One of he surprises for Lcpick and McLaren has been the Junior girls team Only four girls have returned from the squad of
