On their return trip, they had to spend Sunday night and Monday in Sunderland. chotterbox by John B. McClelland Over the past four years, I have watched hockey at the Scugog Arena which almost made me sick: when tempers and violence got out of control, when coaches and managers seemed to encourage disreputable behaviour among their players on the ice. But I came away from the arena after Sunday night's game feeling as if I had seen a good exhibition of a sport the way it should be played. On the couple of occasions when tempers began to flare, the players backed off. I can't help but believe that coaching is so crucial if team sports are to be played the way they should be, especially contact sports. If a coach is disciplined in his own attitudes and methods, and demands this from his players, it is going to reap benefits both on and off the ice, the court or the playing field no matter what the sport. Win, lose or draw, the players involved are going to come away from the match with a feeling of satisfaction, knowing that while it may be great to win, just playing the game fairly and cleanly has its own greater rewards.

The first, Saturday evening, was the Central Ontario Secondary School Association Junior basketball final at Durham College, and the second Sunday evening was a juvenile hockey final game. These days one often hears a lot said about young people and the remarks are sometimes rather uncomplimentary. But judging from the action I saw over the weekend, I believe that congratulations are in order for players and coaches on both the hockey and basketball teams.: I was impressed with the level of skill the players displayed in their respective sports. But more than that, I was impressed with the discipline on the ice and the court, the determination, the camaradarie, and in the case of the Junior basketball squad, the never-say-die attitude even when the outcome of the match began to look gloomy for the Port Perry players. The Junior team ran up against a tough squad from G.L. Roberts, and on top of that, the Port Perry players simply could not buy a basket during the first half. ) tured education. rg To Sicling lay ous of Wie elisr games I've seen 41 My reaction to that can be summed up in one word: : y balderdash. It was tough hockey, make no mistake about it; plenty of stiff body checks, some heavy going in the corners and along the boards, and even from time to time the odd elbow and I sometimes think that the authors of these seemingly endless reports simply throw in an outlandish recommen- dation just to grab headlines and stir up the public. It takes the heat off the fact that the report cost tax-payers $200,000. Parents will bé too worried about whether grades 1-4 will be put on the shelf to complain about whether we need these reports and why they seem to cost so darn much. But it wasn't a mean brand of hockey; the kind where THE U.S. AND CANADA I'd like to be in the room when Ronald Reagan and Pierre Trudeau sit down this week to discuss matters of mutual concern between Canada and the United States. Aside from the issues of contention such as fishing treaties, water quality, air pollution, Canadian government involvement in the oil industry and the supply of American weapons to El Salvador, Trudeau and Reagan are anything but like-minded individuals. - In fact, they seem to be almost the antithesis of one another, and most observers suggest they may have trouble "relating," to say the least. Officials are hoping that the meeting this week does not "further damage relations between the two countries. One should recall what happened several years ago when Trudeau and Richard Nixon got together and could scarcely disguise their mutual dislike for each other. This visit to Ottawa by Reagan is the first trip abroad since he was elected president. There could be some significance in that. It could be a signal that Reagan feels relations with Canada are important enough for him to give them attention first, or it could be that Reagan is merely paying lip-service to Canada and once this trip is over, he'll forget about us for the next four years. Itend to believe that while Reagan may know little about Canada and Canadians (and care even less) he is badly in need of support among Western allies for his 'get tough" stance against Soviet and Cuban intervention in other countries. That position is already surfacing in El Salvador with American weapons and advisors "helping out" the ruling junta. And Reagan has served notice that it will not be business as usual with the Soviets unless they halt the "adventures" beyond their borders. But Reagan needs the support of Canada, Western Europe and Japan. He simply can't stand up to the Russians' alone. If Reagan can convince Trudeau, he probably can convince anybody. Trudeau and West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt are said to have an excellent rapport. Reagan needs Schmidt's support in Europe. He is hoping that Trudeau will work on Schmidt to line up that support. While there are pressing U.S. - Canada problems that must be sorted out, the meeting this week is an important one in the wider field of international relations, as Reagan has his own vision of how the universe should be un-folding.
