effect about to begin again The Wrestling Rebels have swamped the opposition In every tournament that they have competed in tbla year but the coaches feel It might all be for naught should they fall to capture Hal ton Chzn to be held later this month of the year thai bad a talented enough team capture Ihe and so far this year their charges per formsnees have borne out this confidence However strange things have a habit of cropping up and plaguing a winning team and both coaches are hoping their team will be able to avoid any and all pitfall The two Ills uppermost In tbe coaches minds at the moment are in fact what could be considered opposite problems that the team will come up flat In tbe past weekend s Nelson Invitational held in Burlington there were certain signs That the former problem was ap pearing In some of the boys performances Although the team won the meet capturing six of a possible 15 firsts neither coach really expressed pleasure In the team snowing Coach Martin feels sure that his boys will snap out of this slight sag and will adjust his training schedule to remedy the problem On Saturday Pete who wrestled well but was never really seriously challenged took top spot In tbe class Dave Peterson won tbe lb class while Brian placed second in this same division Peterson hod a tough match wrestling a youngster from A N Meyer High School who bad cut weight from lot lbs to make lb limit and was described by coach Martin as pounder ever seen Peterson bested him Rick won the lb class Scott Turner finished third Victor Parkas placed third In tbe lis lb class Eric Fobert who for tbe second tournament In a row was named VHP completely outclassed all others in the 130 lb class BUI Bradley who Is rounding back Into form after his injury won tbe 141 lb class A pleasant surprise for tbe team was the effort turned In by JohnPendergast Wrestling for only the first time this year he placed second In the 148 lb Phil Noble came second In 178 lb class while Jeff Haines putting on his best showing of tbe year pinned all but one of his opponents in winning tbe heavyweight class Raiders shaken by injury The Georgetown Chrysler Raiders winning siring ended at eight as they were defeated In overtime by league leading Port Colbome Sailers in Port Colbome last Tuesday night The loss was attributed by a member of Raiders executive to a mental letdown by the team after one of their mates was carried off the Ice on a stret cher Bobby suffered what appeared to be a severe shoulder Injury a tew minutes Into overtime period It is feared that the Injury might be more serious as Larmond was having trouble moving his legs and needed assistance to leave the Ice This type of Injury has an unsettling effect on a team and Port Colborne a Brian Kilpatrlck scored winner a little more than a minute after the Larmond Incident In the overtime period Port the Raiders Raiders led 21 at tbe end of the first Tbe second period ended in a 22 tie and neither team could hit tbe In tbe third Junior bad a four point night matching two goals with two assists Bob Mar chUdon and Pete Bettiol were the other Raiders scorers For Port Colbome Rice had a pair with singles

he notes Itlstbeoftenoverlooked unspectacular phase of hockey which produces tired forwards allstar and winning hockey teams According to Tom most minor hockey players are sufficiently keen to put out the effort necessary in backebecking but most make tbe mistake of going after the puck carrier Thlaaccountsforagreatdeal of bunching up so common in minor hockey Tom wants to Impress on young players that they must pick up an open wing concentrating solely on him and Ignoring completely the puck earner The puck carrier is responsibility of the defencemen Tbe only responsibility Is to prevent his check from scoring He can accomplish this by positioning himself be the puck carrier and his check and by staying as close as possible to his check right to tbe goal a necessary Tom offers a further tip You should never stop skating after your check you When the attackers reach your blue line they will probably slow down to check the defensive situation and also to avoid an offside If you keep skating you will probably catch your man at your blue line by Diane and Jeffrey Dock North Halton Curling Club was a busy spot again this past weekend The Ladles Open was held on Wednesday the with

Swlnglne Six Skylarks Hits Mrs Continued on reading a few weeks go where girl allowed to compete In a boxing match and although didnt win didnt fare as badly ber detractors expected case that comes most readily to mind occurred a short while ago In United States and Involved two girls who wanted to play for tbe school a junior all male football earn case waa taken all tbe way to tbe Supreme Court and there tbe venerable Judges upheld a lower court decision to bar girls from the team In most cases I would agree with this ruling as I think football Is a bit too violent for girls However this situation Intrigued me and caused me to wonder my reasoning might be faulty As it happens the two girls were eminently qualified physically to play Both were IB however one weighed lbs and tbe other US lbs Thinking back en when started playing football when our offensive and defensive lines averaged 170 lbs think I would have accepted a person of either gender who weighed as much as these girls do The arguments both for and against malefemale Integrated sports programs are varied as the per- Some say Ihe majority of girls would be at disadvantage physically competing against males and would thus be quickly shunted aside In tbe same vein there are those who argue that lull Integration would only benefit the superior female athlete and that female programs on tbe whole would suffer Then we have the male chauvinist who still thinks of tbe female a cross between Scarlet and little Orphan Annie and regards any female Involvement in especially male dominated sports as blasphemous I for one would like to see a middle of tbe road policy adopted I don think there would be any harm done In Initiating integrated sports programs up to age IB with options left open for tbe superior female athlete To compete her male counterparts she gets older should so decide I remember one girl In particular who played for girls basketball team at my old high school She was over sue feet and completely dominated any game played In She rebounded extremely well but also bad one of the best Jump shots from about feet out that I have ever seen pert el by a male or female Sbe deprived In my opinion of developing basketball talents to the fullest merely because she was One of the leading sports equipment manufac- has developed a line of hockey equipment especially for girls and tbe
