Camewron Esler controlled the forward line as he helped set up three of the goals. Jim Partner and Scott Williams controlled the rest of the field giving Greg Hooper a chance at another shutout. Greg helped bis own cause with several saves in- cluding one magnifficenit ef- fort in the first hiaîf. Scott M/cAllister (2), Ryan Rock andi Dan Walters provided the scoring, and Laura Abrams, Scott Hentig and Grant Tomnpkins provided their uisual tough efforts.

In fact, bard work on tbe part of al the players bas beeni the secret to Orono's success witb players such as Shellie Nowak and Stephen Stadelman and Jodi Faulkner, throwing themselves into the fray.

Orono Girl's PeeWee 3 want their Consolation Orono Girl's PeeWee (3) team want their trophy which they dlaimn they won in a soft- bail tournament held in Orono on Saturday, August 25th and Gord Vickers, their coach, is taking the issue to the Orono Amateur Athletic Association meeting on September l6th. According to Gord Vickers the Orono, PeeWee 'Girls Tearn No. 3 played in the 'B' division tournament held in Orono on August 25th whichi several advantages: protection to the eyes, better and more natural peripheral vision (one of Wayne Gretzky's many gifts is an ability to take- a "fly's eye" view of the entire rink), a lens that follows the gaze and better eye "teannýng" in a directions. What is more, contacts doni't fog! Linda Samnek of OAO makes the interesting point that vision is a learned skiil. Thus, an optometris 't should be able to counsel you on varions visual training exercises that mnay prove as important in improving your athletic perfor- mnance as regular physîcal exer- cise. Areas to work on: visual acuity - the ability to focus and make out detail ai 20 feet, depth perception, field of vi- sion, and binocular coordina- tion - both eyes working together in precise balance and hand /eye coordination. Even, if you have the eye of an eagle - be smart: wear the appropriate safety glasses for your sport. Wise swimminers know masks and goggles keep eyes clear of saIt, debris and chiorine. More than one racquetbail and squash player hias been spared serious eye injury from flying bails and racquets or er- rant elbows by strapping on something as inexpensive as -a lens-free safety framne. The, great basketbal centre Kareem Abdul-Jabbar learned too late: he suffered a scratched retina in a gaine seasons ago but now shows no embarrass- ment in leading the Los Angeles Lakers onto the court in bis goggles. You'll find safety gla sses in ail sporting goods stores. Most are plastic which is 6O<wo lighter than glass and offers high resistance to breakage. The new "designer" safety glasses (they're everywhere! Dësigning everything!) with their showy elastic headbands are polycarbonate plastic which even resists scratching! 1 can think of onfly one ex- ample where poor vision -proved to be an advantage to included six teams from the league. The teams playing «in the 'A' and 'B' divisions had been determined prior to the August 25th tournament. Gord Vickers points out that the rules of the tourna- ment had been established and agreed upon prior to the tournament date and that Al 'A' teams would play in 'A' divison and likewise 'B' teams would play in 'B' divi- sion. Vickers stated that on the mnornîng of the tournament the coaches were handed a change in mIles that in effect would have consolation win- niers in 'B' division playing an 'A' division tenm for the trophy. He states the divi- sions wvere establishied and he has no quarrel with this pro- cedure but does object to the last minute interference with the planned schedule of ['rophy games and the fact that a 'B' 1 Division teamn finds itself in 1 the position»t have to play a 'A' Division teamn for their rightful trophy. A team from Hampton won the '.B' Division PeeWee 1 tournament while the Orono PeeWee team, No. 3 were 1 runners-up in the division and the team, -parents and cbach, feel they are the win- ners of the Consolation trophy. A meeting was held last week to iron out the issue but nothing developed, according to Vickers. He said another meeting is to be held and that a number of the parents are attending the Athletic meeting on the l6th of' September to further protest and discuss the last minute. change in the reg-ulations of the tournament. an athiete. wild and to the fence - inten- Many seasons ago, the New tionaily, to intimnidate them, York Yankees had a pitcher Duren always claimed! niamed Ryne Duren who wore spectacles thick as glacial ice.
