The Jets jumped into an early 5 to 0 lead in the bottom of the first taking full advantage of 'several errors in the Yelverton out- field. With this comfortable cushion and the strong pitching of Randy Macleod, the Jets coasted through the remaining six innings. Don Timms started on the mound for Yelverton, and was yanked for Dale Stinson in the third inning with the score 8 to 0. The Yelverton players were obviously feel- ing the affects of their fifth game in less than 12 hours. When Stinson came in to relieve he was pitching in his fourth game of the day. Yelverton picked up one run in the fourth inning when Vaughn McGill snapped a triple. McGill, who was a defensive stand- out all through the four-day series to help get Yelverton into the final, was struck hard on the head by a thrown ball when he was' sliding into second. He got up immediately, went on to third, and was then pulled for a pinch runner. The second run came in the fifth when Brent Fallis hit a triple and was driven home by a single from Don Timms. But it was too little, too late, and Yelver- ton could put no further dents in the big Nestleton lead.

The winners picked up the Canadian Tire Trophy and . the $300 team prize. The Yelverton squad went home with $150 while a team from the University of Guelph received $50. for finishing third. Sixteen teams took part in the four day double knock- out event and by the time it was all over Monday night, 30 games of fastball had been played. The sudden and intense downpour Sun- day evening threw a curve into the tight scheduling but the rained-out games were made up Monday morning at diamonds in Raglan, Nestleton and Yelverton. To get into the final Nest- Iton knocked off Guelph University 5 to 2, Oshawa 2 to 0, Kendron 8 to 5, and Yelverton 2 to 1. . Port Perry's entry in the tournament started off well with a victory over Lindsay and followed with decisions over Lindsay and Whitby. Losses at the hands of Janetville and Yelverton knocked Canadian Tire from the competition. Organizers of the event were more than pleased with the spectator' turnout over the four days as close to 750 fans paid to get into the park. And with 30 games of fast, exciting ball, they obviously got their money's worth.

Up to 13 years CAHA rule outlaws slapshot The Canadian Amateur Hockey Association passed a regulation at its annual meeting last week to outlaw the slapshot in games invol- ving, youngsters up to 13 years of age. The wording of the regu- lation forbids players to raise the blade of their sticks above the waist in either the backswing or the follow through. Although the rule can be applied to all shots including the flip and the wrist, it is aimed at curbing the use of the slap- shot. A two-minute penalty will be assessed for players who lift their sticks too high, and if a goal is scored either directly or indirectly from such a shot, it will be dis- allowed and the two minute penalty waived. Commenting on the rule change, Albert Watkins, OMHA supervisor of the referees said he din't antici- pate any problems enforc- ing the, regulation and add- ed that it will be in force when the 1977-78 minor sea- son gets underway this' fall. And he suggested that the new rule will help reduce the hazard of young players getting sticks in the face and head. Vern McCallum, sec- retary-manager of the OMHA said that part of the rationale for the new rule is "to get the boys away from the slap shot and back. to the regular shot, which the kids haven't been doing. The art of shooting is going, so we're starting with the younger kids." INVEST NOW!
