Standing less than six feet ourselves, we crept around among towering Scottish athletes like an apologetic mantis and watched them putting the shot, throwing hammers and running like wild men around the quarter-mile race track. We felt much better while watching the lassies in the Highland dancing, for they, at least, resembled the traditional Scotland of song and story. But our tranquility of spirit seldom lasted for very long at a time, for a simple side glance would catch another strapping Hielander tossing around the better part of a balan terrifying success. > Games' History The Toronto High- a land Games were Qf inauguratedin1950. With_the Toronto Scottish and the 48th Highlanders regiments as a nuc- leus, it was de- cided that the ames be dedicat- ed to "establishing and retaining true Scottish traditions and culture in the City of Toronto" and no less than 17 Scottish societies stepped in to boost the event. This year, under the chairman- ship of Dr. lain MacKay, the annual event got under way with a military tattoo on Friday evening (June 15) when 21 bands took part, with trumpets, bugles, pipes an drums rolling out a thundering echo of Scottish pageantry before 10,000 spectators in the gigantic CNE grandstand, On Saturday afternoon the Games were officially opened by Major- General Howard Graham, C.B.E.

From our point of view the Highland Games were a telephone pole as easily as we would Caber Tossing Of all the events we witnessed at the Highland Games, however, the most uniquely Scottish sport was tossing the caber. To us, the caber itself was a man-sized chunk of telephone pole weighing 150 pounds. But when Bill Rutherford tossed it up and over for its required spin in the air (throwing a total of 40 feet, 9 inches from the chalk line, to win the Corby Trophy), we decided then and 'there that if Rutherford wished to call it a caber, he'd get no argument from us, Caber tossing i quite a caper and we were satis- fied to stand well back. .

However, this doesn't mean there won't be plenty of Oaks games at Wallace park during the next few weeks, as Don 'Davis is booking in several topflight senior clubs for ex- hibition tests. Best way for fans to keep abreast of diam- ond developments is to watch the notice board at the park or to have an eye for posters in shop windows. Weekend games are often arranged on too short notice for publication in these columns. Snow Construction juniors pro- vided a terrific thrill for their loyal fans Monday night as they squeezed in the tie-breaking run in the last of the ninth frame to edge Toronto Presswoods 4-3.

Bell, Headmaster Oakville, Ontario This week we report on the trout fisherman's dream-fish the "Salvelinus Marston" or as it is more commonly called, the Quebec Red. Being of the charr family, as is our Bastern Brook or Speckled Trout, it has many of the speck- led trout characteristics. Distinguished by its brilliant red coloring and decidedly forked tail, it was first brought to the anglers notice by the-late Dr. Marston. Found only in the northern Quebec waters, and being a real scrapper, the Red developed into an almost legen- dary figure in the wood stove league. At last yours truly has traced them down--if you want a real trip, inexpensive too, for Quebec Reds, here's how. Contact Mi Rosie Richer at Lake Louisa, Saint Michel, Ar- genteuil County, Quebec. Mr. Richer is a guide extraordinair in this province, and can really get you some whamdammers. The district where Mr. Richer reigns supreme is dotted with lakes just abounding in hungry, big fish . . . 4 lbs. or better. There is no accommodation, so you must take in tent, sleeping bags, food, etc, and Mr. Richer will arrange for canoe and plan your trip. Last night yours truly saw sev- eral specimens of over 5 lbs., and in the typically French manner was briskly told "she is not so tam beeg dose feesh"--mebbe not Rosie, but for me "she was tam big enough, by gar." You can drive to Saint Michel quite easily. It is about 65 miles north of Montreal and good roads. Once there you 'can let Mr. Richer and your conscience be your guide. Just recently a party of three Montrealers took eight fish in less than one hour, averaging 4 Ibs. Some reports have it that they are frequently taken at 6 to 8 Ibs. But for me, 4 lbs. is "plenty tam beeg enough" Here's a chance for you spinning enthus- iasts. Not much more news this week, but the Bass and Muskie season is just around the corner. Haliburton and Hastings should be good on opening weekend. We expect to fly into the back of Parry Sound district--more ing. later.
