| Don Lawrence * Sports editor x Indusmin, Leitz double winners in industrial soccer Midland Indusmin of the Barrie Industrial Soccer League, pulled off a surprise ending to the season, when they defeated American Hotel 3-2 Wednesday to take the championship in Barrie. The thing that is surprising is that they were last in the league the previous season. American Hotel started the scoring off with a quick goal, followed by an equally quick goal by Terry Kennedy, of Indusmin, to tie the game. American Hotel then went ahead again, but Junior C tryouts to be tough A new OHA rule asks that all players wear a wire face mask in league play, and anyone intending to tryout for the Junior C Centennials team in Midland is advised to get used to it in the tryouts. Tryouts will be held at the Wasaga Beach Arena, Sept. 7 at 8:30 p.m. You will be required to have your own equipment, and you should be prepared to scrimmage. All players in the Junior age range, ex- cept for those living in Penetanguishene, are invited to come out. Any players in Penetanguishene must pl ay fold Penetanguishene. Coaches for this year are Terry Moore, and Edgar Dorian, both from Midland. All positions are open for this year's team, and competition is guaranteed to be tough, with most of last year's team eligible to return, players graduating from midget ranks, and some players who sat out last year by choice trying out for the team. You are therefore, advised to come prepared to work. Further dates for the tryouts include Sept. 11, 9:30 p.m. - 11 p.m., and Sept. 14, 8:30 p.m. - 10 p.m. "gx Anyone trying out for 'the team should be at the arena at least 45 minutes before ice time, -o get registration in- formation, and so that sweaters can be handed out. If you require more information, you can call Doug Fox at 526- 6881. that didn't last long, as Dennis Moreau brought Indusmin back into the game. Moreau was the man that put in the winning goal for Indusmin, with an amazing shot up into the right corner of the net from about 30 yards out. He pulled off a 90 degree turn, kicking the ball in with his left foot, to show that athletes sometimes have to be acrobats as well. Keith Duval was voted '"'player of the game'"' by the referees for the Indusmin team. Leitz Canada, also in the league, came home with the consolation prize. The two victories mark the first time any Midland soccer teams have won in the playoffs of the Barrie Industrial Soccer League. Well done Indusmin. Well done Leitz. And another thing! The umpire was not the most popular person in the game between Adco Tire and Georgian Bay Real Estate Wednesday night at the Midland diamond. Here, Andy Zurawski, of Midland'has a few words for the umpire while his backcatcher, Blake Mathews looks on. Adco Tire won the game 11-0. Give generously torun-athon 'cause Terry Fox sure did by Don Lawrence "It's too bad Park- view doesn't do something," was the way it started. An idle comment by Ted Ross, teacher at Parkview School in Midland and organizer of the mini- run-athon, has now turned into the first step for Midland to do something about cancer research. Ross and the other teachers were just sitting around coffee at their first recess of the day. The fact that Terry Fox had been forced to give up his run which raised so much money and so many hopes was on their minds. The next thing anyone knew was that the idea was there, complete with the people to work it. The students in the school were getting ready for their training for upcoming track and field competition, so the idea was put forward to them. They liked it. A quick two days planning followed, culminating in the most noble effort so far in Midland to actually do something about the problem of not enough funds for cancer research. , Ross feels that they, as healthy people, should be doing something to help out, especially when you consider that Terry Fox has single-handedly raised over two million dollars, "and he has only one leg." He would also like to see other schools follow the example. 300 kids from the school will take part in the run, with pledges gathered for the number of laps they run. Grades 1-4 will run a 600 metre lap on the school property, while grades 5-8 will run a 1500 metre lap that goes through Little Lake Park adjacent to the school. The run officially began yesterday, with the runners' going during the noon hour, and the "mini-run- athon,"' will continue up until a week from today. The target figure for the run is set at $1,000 but it would be nice to raise a little more. So, if someone from Parkview Public School comes to your door, asking for pledges, give generously. Terry did. Second victory in eight for Jaycees Jaycees defeated French's Dry Cleaners 3-2 in Civitan House League action in a game recently played at Tiffen Park in Midland. The win gives Jaycees their second victory in eight games against French's. Jamie Whan, pitcher for French's put in an outstanding perform- ance on the mound, but found that fielding errors were just too much to fight. Robbie Fortin, also proved to be a valuable player for his team as he took the mound for Jaycees. Fortin also knocked in the winning run. Joining him in the scoring for Jaycees was Mickey St. Amant, and Rick Kruye. A game scheduled for Tuesday night was "'muddied out". Playoffs began last night, with the first game being played at Tiffin Park between Jaycees and French's Dry Cleaners. Beginning at 6:30 tonight, Smith's Camp will meet Royal Bank, with the playoffs con- tinuing Sunday at 11 a.m. and again at 1 p.m., when the cham- pions and consolation champions will be decided. Registration night for Cubs has been set © Registration for Sixth Midland Cub Pack will take place at Calvary Baptist Church, King Street, Wednesday evening, Sept. 10, at 7 se GYM CLUB PENETANG -- MIDLAND Gymnastics Corner p.m. Boys are reminded that the registration fee this year will be $8.50, and regular meetings will commence _ the following week. by Ken St. Amant Gymnastics has come into its own as one of the great sports of our time - a breathtakingly beautiful sport in which each competitor must demonstrate their skills in a variety of unique and demanding categories. Although the girls obtain most of the media coverage, they have yet to corner the market. A prime example of the beauty in men's gymnastics can be seen in Kurt Thomas' performance in which he won 6 medals at the 1979 World Championships...he was spec- tacular! Even though many people know very little about gymnastics, they cannot fail to admire the gymnast's ability to engage in highly intricate and graceful performances. This admiration is of such intensity that many, many young boys and girls are strongly en- couraged to become gymnasts as early as four or five years of age. The beauty of gymnastics goes far beyond the looks of a particular move or routine. It's a fantastic way to keep one's children in excellent condition while at the same time help develop a positive self image. Running and jumping! Isn't that what Physical Education is all about? And what an excellent way for children to rid their extra energy. This leads me to my next point. I have often been asked by parents, '"'What are the most important aspects of this sport?" Without making the answer too complicated or risking the possibility of stating the answer too simply, I would have to say it lies with the conditioning (fitness) as well as the flexibility of the athlete. Without these components, the gymnasts are not strong enough to perform many of the basic movement patterns nor are they flexible enough to put their body parts through the required range of movement. . For example - the cartwheel. Although it is just for a second, strength is required in order to support the body weight on the hands, and flexibility is needed to allow the proper placement of the hands and then the feet at the conclusion of the move. The Hurons spend at least one third of their practice time on fitness and flexibility. The gymnasts are tested on a regular basis to ensure that progress is being achieved. Our gymnasts must be fit as well as flexible. . Gymnastics Calendar Sept. 6 Gymnastics display ; half time show during Argo Football Game. Sept. 8 Competitive section begins (invitation only).
