Is cautiously but op looking for a good showing In the highly competitive 149 lb class Young Athlete A magazine with a difference by Colin Gibson Herald Sports tor It an unfortunate fact but fact it is hat with he ex of only a few top notch sports publications there Is a sad dearth of first rate magazines for the sporting enthusiast This paucity Is even more obvious when it comes to magazines geared to the younger athletes They after all represent the athletic future yet for the most part their exploits are Ignored The current popular magazine writings are aimed at older readers or even worse he youngsters are treated to pap that insults their intelligence I am pleased to report that I just might have discovered a breakthrough While browsing through Youngs Pharmacy the other day I chanced upon a sports entitled Young Athlete It a treasure trove Its stories are aimed at public school and early high school youngsters It highlights athletic accomplishments supplies coaching hints on a myriad of sports has feature stories on some celebrated professional athletes but mainly it concentrates on the premise Get involved This done in such a way as to encourage the youngster while not pressuring him or her A paragraph In a gym story I think em the magazine s A child is a butterfly in the wind Some can fly higher than others but each one files the best way it tan Why compare one against the other Each one Is different Each one if special Each one Is beautiful The thought Is beautiful and believe me If I had the money I would have posters made with this thought distributed to all area schools It not often hat I will reprint directly from a magazine regardless of its merits but again because I am so impressed with Athlete I intend to make an exception This particular article was entitled The Secret of the Slight Edge So close I came so close Have you ever been inches away from making a first down Do you know what it like to lose a basketball game In the final second by a single In sports the difference between winning and losing Is often so slight that a slow motion camera can barely make the measurement The slight edge you sec it all the time At Wimbledon the deciding shot in the final match clears the net by a fraction of an Inch At the Super Bowl a crucial play in the final quarter misses a score by a length of a foot ball At the Winter Olympics Franz Klammcr spectacular downhill wins a medal by the blink of an eye Field goals hit the upright hook shots spin away from the rim and golf putts hang on the lip of the cup It the slight edge Two great professional golfers Jack and Dob Diaries know just how much the slight edge can mean an athlete In a past season after nine on the pro golf tour had won with a scoring average of strokes per game On the same tour playing the same number of games Bob Charles had won only with a scoring average Th nk about By consistently averaging only one half stroke per game belter than Charles picked up an ad winnings Us the slight edge In the National League a consistent hitter can ex to earn around per year while a consistent hitler earns about per edge How close are you to the lop Sometimes the distance from he bottom to the top Is shorter than we think For instance If you come home each night run at least once around the block you will place yourself in the top IS percent of the young adult physical fitness level in the United States If you read just one book a month you will place yourself lii the top two percent of the world intellectual And if you spend just one full minute each day quietly planning your life Where am I going In life Why do I want to go there then you will be building he same habit shared by he most admired and successful people on earth In sports and In lift the difference between achievement and good is often said to be about two perctnt more study practice application attention and effort Each one is Important but the real secret is this Be consistent In all of them key to great achievement is to give yourself the slight edge that extra two percent time after time after Two percent more makes the difference The slight edge belongs to those who would pay that small price consistently Good luck Young Athlete is still struggling to make a sue go of it The magaiine is attempting to be distributed on mot thly basis but at times snags arise and publication Is delayed For further information on the and subscription rate write to Young Athlete P BOX Mount Morris Illinois United Stales It would be a very worthwhile For those who would like to the magazine a copy will be at the Herald Early thunder on the part of Hornby proved the difference night at the Georgetown Ball Park as the visitors scored six runs on six hits and led after four in nings en route to a I win over the Georgetown Chryslers Hornby scored its final run in the op of the seventh inning while he Chryslers were held the until the bottom of the ninth when Barry crossed the plate on the heels or a Ron Osborne double for the hometown run Grant Usher who worked first four Innings was tagged with the loss while Mike Leslie chalked up he win for Hornby Bill Tilt relieved Usher in the top of the fifth inning and limited Hornby to one run on two hits over he last five Innings In his four inning of work Usher struck out two Hornby bailers Issuing two free passes Tilt for his pari Tanned four batters and walked two If a reason for Chrysler loss could be pinpointed it would have to be that the team came out fla The game against Hornby was the Chryslers first garni In 10 days so he flatness can be excused The Chryslers now sport a 2 record but could reach he mark by the end his week Monday the Chryslers were scheduled to host Hamilton Tuesday Ihey journeyed to

Monday the Olympics journeyed to Acton The weather was Ideal for soccer Both teams dressed fourteen play era the game at a fast pace but within five minutes a never say die effort by Robert netted the first goal The shot a low drive aimed for the far post struck a defenders leg and went in Acton soon retaliated a line run by Jeff Shields who went through he centre of the Olympic defence and from 15 yards drove home a beautiful goal From that point an until Fulltime the garni was on even terms with the score at fine penalty shot by Olympic winger Ken and another opportunist goal by Robert Wlngrove completed the Olympic scoring The Acton goals came from a fine header from a corner by Scott Markham and the third from another great Individual effort by Jeff Shields The second half saw the Olympics fade under pressure three quick unan goals by Jeff Shields Scott Markham and Wade Vicry was the price they paid A special mention must be made or Jimmy Jordan who played an outstanding game or the Aclon defence This lad who cannot hear or speak is an example many players should follow Final score in this game Acton Olympics Thursday 17th June saw Pegasus defeat Rnckwood The game was a scrappy due mainly to a small field Pegasus had most of the game but their style was cramped played very well but were held at boy by the Pegasus defence Goals In this game came from BUI Wilcox 4 Mike and a goal from link man Paul Lesi The Rural Leagui lo Division was a mix up this wtek Tht Gladiators jour neyed lo to play 1 Hills 1 went to for the same fixture On arrival at Gladiators were met by

agreed hat com is a wonderful thing when used correctly Monday June the Olympics were at home against the Fergus Flames On their previous meeting the result had been a tie and had been a very good game Generally games between these two teams show different styles Fergus employ strong centre moves while Olympics we wing play very effectively This game was no exception During the first half Olympics used their wing men Mark and Kenny to the utmost The centres they fed across resulted In four goals The second half was the same style of game the Olympic defence resisted the Fergus offence only allowing one goal by Jay a rising shot from yards beating he goal keeper to the top right hand corner of the the other the Olympics offence added five more goals bringing the final score to 1 Special mention must made of Bobby who scored six goals as sinker Kenny two and Mark Tonna one Tony jerques Richard Greg Paul Jeff Bond all played a great part in this decisive win Wednesday June Rock wood entertained the Gladiators The first half play was even Paul Clarke who replaced Robbie Fattore on the right wing scored the only goal in this half The second half commenced in much the same pattern Rock wood scored a nice goal about five minutes into the half a high shot that went over the outstretched arms into the net This goal appeared to up the Gladiators and Mike Jones for ihe Gladiators added a quick goal From this point on Rock wood fell away and the Gladiators scored four more Final result Rockwood 1 Gladiators Paul Clarke registered a hat trick Dave Whitehead two Mike Jones one The referee was Mr Bridles one who must be commended for his fine handling of the game The Acton Rams saw action three times last week and although hey picked up only one win a hometown win on Thursday over hey played well enough on Sunday against league leader to show thai perhaps better things lie ahead Wind sot bumped off Aclon IB IS but It was an entirely different game than the one that saw the Hams blown out 17 by last Tuesday The game in Windsor was a seesaw affair that was deadlocked 10 10 after minutes of play Windsor had just a bit more left In the crucial third period and out scored the Rams in that frame 5 to take ihe win Jim Chlsholm be faulted for the loss as he scored four times and assisted on three others BUI Mathleson notched a hat trick o go with two assists Steve Allan fired three counters Ronnie Turkosz and Fred Allan each scored a pair while Kevin Marcoux added a single George bolstered his ma ten scoring by assisting on eight goals The Rams suffered a blow to their playoff chances when Ronnie Turkosz sustained a back injury that could put him on the sidelines for the duration of the year He was backchecked by he Windsor gaoler on a questionable play that resulted in only a minor penalty being assessed At home on Thursday against the Rams were flying from the opening whistle By ihe four minute mark of the opening period Ihey had scored four times and this gave them a lead they were not to relinquish At the end of two periods Acton was in front 14 and although Dundas the locals in the final period the out come was never seriously In doubt

the Rams third period for they wire once more outgunned 16 and outplayed and ended up on the very short end of stick John and Doug Taylor shared the questionable honour of playing the kamlkaii role in the Rams nets while only four players shared In the Acton scoring Kevin Marcous attempted to bolster his mates sagging morale by netting four Steve Wilson chipped in with a pal while singles went to George Artem and Bill Mathleson The Rams will attempt to improve their league standing this week as they have only one game scheduled and hopefully It will provide them with some much needed relief
