SQUADRON WETS SAILS BY BETTINA MASSON Saturday, May 26th saw the official opening of the 1951 sea- son of sailing races for the Oak- ville Yacht Squadron. It was a good sailing day with a stiff steady wind, choppy water and occasional glimpses of the sun, But it was cold too--just ask the various crews of the Snipes who got their seats wet! The first race on Saturday will be for points towards winning the coveted Lady Baillie trophy, at present held by Commodore Jim Baillie. The opening contest last Saturday was thrilling. The boats skimmed along the choppy waters always tugging for their head with the wind. Doug and Lib Armour won with Pork Munro second, and Jack and Ann Pear- son, a third. In the second race, the women had to skipper. We hear rumours that this year a trophy is on the way to the O.Y.S. to be given to the winning woman skiuper at the end of the season. Most of the Snipe owners sail with their wives as crew, and some of the women (dare I say this?) are as good and certainly as enthusias- tic sailors as their husbands. In this particular event, some of the boats wove a rather erratic course but they all finished gal- lantly. The first boat to finish had Jim Baillie and Gerry Mor- daunt in it. But as neither of those are ladies even in the worst sense, I don't think their win counted. So Lib Armour who finished second must really be considered the winner and Ann Pearson a fighting second. Yours truly, who is sailing for the first time in her life, came out of that race a shattered last. If I could have walked home from that ride, I certainly would have before the ~-Admiral's Daughter" even left the harbour. Sailing rings around the other six snipes Commodore Jim and Gerry Mordaunt easily finished first in the third race. Who was your third passenger boys? "The little man who wasn't there? or Kilroy?" Doug and Lib with son Jamie we) a good second. Al Masson with Stevie and the writ- ter were third. Piling up a commendable total of 41 points, Oakville Trafalgar high school athletes finished well bup in the standing of the annual C.0.S.S.A. track and field cham- Dionships, held 'at Hamilton civic stadium last Saturday. As has become customary since John Ross left his younger part- ner to attend University of Mich- igan, speedy Pete Sutton set the local victory pace--and a very emphatic pace it was. Pete soundly shattered no less than three meet records, including Ross' 53.1 mark for the 440 yard distance, which he covered in 50.3 seconds. Sutton's other new records were his 10.2 hundred, and his terrific 22.4 for the 220. Other senior points were con- tributed by Bob Hellig, who fin- ished fourth in the 220 and fifth in the hop, step and jump, and the relay squad which claimed third in the mile event. Burn Hod- gins grabbed a second and a fourth in the intermediate divis- ion, Don Rose had a fifth place point, and pole vaulters Grant Farrow and Francis Smith leap- ed to third and fourth places in that event. Bill Smythe went b ft. 2 in. to take the junior high jump, while team-mate Philip Carew was third in the same event. Coach Al Nicholls Is taking a six man team to Montreal Satur- day for the Canadian Interschol- astic champlonships at Molson stadium. Sutton, Hellig, Tom and Don Rose, Smythe and Bob Nairn will comprise the squad.
