PAUUZ TWELVE aW& --in -v ------------ -- ____ - ____ èSPOR ToPICS By Frank Mohun MA 3.7234 GREY CIL? We know who will win the Grey Cup, but we're just making this prediction in print, to keep our two right, none wrong percentage intact. The winner - Hamilton. This reporter said Hamilton's defensive line and better pass attack would be far superior to anything Winnipeg had, in last week's paper. We do have one excuse to offer. Who, in the east, has eveÉ seen a bealthy Charley Shepard before? How was thîs reporter to know he was so good? Af ter reading over Monday's sports pages, we saw very littie mention of Shepard, except to say he kicked a single and scored a T.D. Remember last year, when the big fuiiback was injured, and Canadian ail-star Jerry James bad a broken hand? James wasn't available this year, but the rest of the team was healthy, and that was the big point made by Coach Bud Grant before game time. Weii Shepard sure was healthy, picking up over 150 of the Blue Bomnbers' 249 total rushing yardage. The westerners' line handled Hamilton's bigger lineman as no other team bhas been able to do, this year, with the possible exception of one game against the Argos, with nothing ati stake. It's certainly beginning to appear that the Winni- peg Blue Bombers will be on hand again next November to defend their championship. If Hamilton gets another backfielder to go along with Gerry McDougall, the Ti-Cats shouid represent the east, once more. t t t t i. B.O.C.'s The most pleasing aspect of the Combines' victory over Minden, Saturday night, was the fine play of thei r defence. Don Mercer turned in one of the best games this reporter bas ever seen him play. The Orona rearguard has been piaying good hockey all season, but Saturday night he was at bis best, smothering many shots, breaking up plays and leading a couple of dangerous rushes. De- fence partner "Mickey" Walker, using a poke-check to advantage, came up with his top effort of the season, whiie Ted DeGray and Gary Copeland weren't far behind. The West brothers continue to operate at their usuai top efficiency on the forward wall. Junior and Keithi were in on ail five goals against Minden, and Dean bas' returned to the form that made himi one of the ieague's top centre men, before bis knee injury. Rugged going George Westfail missed his first game, but Art Renriick returned to action after a two-game absence. The 'home fans, who 'shouid be congratuiated on turning out despite Saturday's poor weather conditions, are stili waiting to see Doug Powell in action. Speaking of fans, Don Wiicox, one of the B.O.C.'s mast ardent supporters, left last Fridày for Miami Beach, Flarida.. t t t t t1 TOWN LEAGUE HOCKEY Last Thursday night's doublebeader featured some of the best hockey this reporter has seen, in the league, so far. Former Juveniles, Juniors and Intermediates, along with a bunch of "darned good" hockey players make up this faur-team laop. The teams swing into action again to-night, and every Thursday night. Local fans would be weli satisfied if they took in some of these games. t t t t t STEENAGER BOWLS OVER 400 Sixteen-year-old Doug Sbirk bowled a tremendous 422 game, Saturday afternoon, to become the first Bow- rnanviile teen-ager to reach the 400 level. The former pin-boy, who now is employed by the Toronto-Dominion Bank, was bowling on ailey No. 3, with Lowell Highfield, following the regular Teen Age League competition. Doug rolled up 10 consecutive strikes, before bis second bail in the final frame picked out the bead pin, which rebounded to take the five pin with it. The final bail took out the two pin and another rebound carried tbe three for the 422 score. Manager George Elliott, in a very sportsmaniike gesture, presented young Mr. Shirk with a $5.00 cheque for bis terrific effort. Doug now ranks seventh among the ail time bigh scores ever registered at Martyn's Bowling Academy. The laIe Ernie Roach is the only Bowmanvilie bowl- er to ever register a perfect 450 game.

Teen-Ager Bowls A Big One Doug Shirk surprised himself and a large group of watchers on Saturday afternoon aI Martyn's Bowling Academy when be rolled one of the highest games in the history of the alieys. He had 10 strikes in a row, bit the head pin with a corne- back on the f ive, shol for the two and four, but picked the two with a rebound on the three. His score was 422. Doug is 16 years oid, a clerk at the Toronto-Dominian Bank. He was bowling after the teen age league games when bis score was flot sensational. Bill Oke was one of the officiai witnesses. Proprietar George Eiliott is presenting Doug with a cheque in honor of bis magnificent score. Iown Leag Afast-moving double-header at the Memorial Arena Thurs- day night, produced a pair of crowd-pleasing encaunters, bath ending in 7-5 scores.

Goodyea r Bowling *1 The Combines -Office clash Thursday night, featured five of the top bowlers in the leaguc. but the best score rolled was 545. However Jack Bond, one of the five, bowled 659 and Beinny King tatalled 693, in the afternaon, ta lead the Combines ta a 7-0 shutout win over the Office, who only have a math- ematical chance left of catching the leaders. The runner-up Hase Roamn went down ta a 5-2 setback at the hands of the much improv- ed Lead Press crew. With only three weeks remaining in the first schedule, the Combines now hold a 15 point edge on the Hose Room and need ta pick up a mere seven points ta clinch the first schedule titie. The Fan Beits finally pulled out of their nase-dive with a narrow 4-3 came-from-behind decision over the cellar-dwelling Machine Shop. Jack Dunn was the big dealer an both fronts, taking the highi triple with a 703 effort, includ- ing the night's high single of 309.

B.O.C1 Star of the Week JUNIOR WEST Three Orono players were right in the thick of the Bowmanville Surplus Store's "Star of the Week. Award", based ohl the lone encounter against Minden, Saturday night. Out of the group, emerged.Junior -' West as our pick, and we don't think you caný_bc,'1ar wrong by choosing any of the West brothers oit , 1eir efforts this season. Junior triggered the winning marker, as the Iine of Gerry Robinson, Keith West and Junior West suppiied the Combines total of five goals. But it wasn't for scaring the winner, that eider brother Junior was selected. On a couple of occasions he pulled the clefence far out of position before setting Up perfect scoring opportunities for his linemates, and wound up being in on the five goals, with two for himseif and three assists. Very seldom does Junior West ever turn In a poor game, so when he figures in ail the scoring, as weli as turning in his usual fine effort, there you have the "Star of the Week". Like an outdoor lob with a FUTURE?. If you are between 17 and 35, and cmi meet enroinient standards, think over what today's Canadian Army offers you. An open-air life like the one enjoyed by this soldier in Canada's northland. Good pay. Fine prospects. Travel and adventure. Loads of friends. An early pension.
