bob turkosz shot ihe winning goal with three seconds left in the game as aclon indusmin juveniles turned the tables on oshawa gieen gaels in a rclum exhibition lacrosse contest at oshawa last thursday the acton club scored a 9h decision in a game almost a replica of the one played in acton the previous week the indusmen outplayed and outshot the gaels all through the contest but were hard pressed to come up with the decision we had 68 shots on their net coach howard dwyer commented and led 71 at one stage but we weakened in the last period and they caught up the gaels dominated the first half of the last stanza scoring three goals to deadlock the count h8 bob turkosz goal spoiled their chances of pulling the game out of ihe fire like they did in acton the previous friday big guns for die indusmen were bob turkosz and bob waller with three goals apiece with waller also collecting an assist fred hitmk was also a going concern for acton with a pair of goats and three assists which made him top point man for the night mike marcoux potted a single and gary kelly assisted on one fred fhsnik put the indusmen in the lead on a breakaway at the 3 05 mark of the first period and they owned a 41 lead by the end of the stanza turkosz and fhsnik paired up to notch number two and mike marcoux rattled in one on a solo effort turkosz finished off the acton scoring on a combination with fhsnik

mccristall s wedding celebration in british columbia i couldn t resist the chance to write my firtt sports column and devote it solely to local activities for gills after five minutes in front of the typewntcr i realized why the paper hasnt gone in for this sort of colunu in ihe past there isnt anything to write about tor the sports minded boy theres hockey soccer softball hardball lacrosse and unnumbered positions as managers coachet referees and just plain organizers on the other hand a girl with an equal amount of enthusiasm and public spirit can step from girl guides into a ladies church group if she finds herself still single in ihe post high school preiodb interest bracket the only thing the can join is the library theres nothing you can call sporty betides curling badminton and slim and trim and then you have to pay to take part surely this is a case of rank discrimination it seems to me that if energetic fathers can raise enough money for a full scale year round slate of activities for their sons they should be able to do something for their daughters as well and i dont mean a converted version of hockey baseball or other such hand to hand combat games designed to build muscles foster bravery and invariably make a man out of you a valuable addition to the towns recreation facilities would be a tennis court and outdoor badminton area to occupy ihe girls while ihe boyt are busy on ihe baseball diamond the playing field or the lacrosse floor archery and ping pong can be nice femime sports that are not impossible for a local recreation committee to organize and finjnee if you want to get really up with ihe times theres fencing judo and scuba divtng for girls but then no doubt the boyt will get first crack at these if and when they become financially possible in acton under the present conditions the majority of girls have to be contont with spectator sports which can be equally as demanding but hardly as rewarding despite mosquitoes in summer and unhealed bleachers in winter they are expected to show up and urge their men on lo victory during the last industrial league hockey game i got my knees slashed by a flying stick and not a word of sympathy from the offending star i dont think the situation it fair but perhaps im not representative of acton girls in general i have to admit i havent hejrd any complaints personally but then i dont know any acton girls personally because there wasnt anything for me to join in order lo meet them in the first place trail riders on fount roads north of rotkwood ed mcgilloway left and coach barry
