1p nines Don Lawrence * Sports editor * May be over for Vase By the time you read this, Midland may already have won the Simcoe Rural Fastball League championship. The fifth game in the series was to have been played last night at the Midland ball diamond barring rainy weather. Midland was leading the series three games to one until Monday night when Vasey rounded up four runs to win the game played in Vasev 4-2. Vasey began the scoring in the fourth inning with one run and another in the sixth inning. It wasn't until the seventh inning that Midland got on the scoreboard when they managed two runs. That, however, was as far as they got in the scoring as they ran up against a wall when Vasey strengthened their defence. Vasey then went on in the eighth inning to score another run, following that up with another in the ninth. Bob Widdes was the winning pitcher for Vasev with. Bruce Guthrie pitching for Midland. Kings do look good! A lot of young, new faces were seen the first night of the tryouts for the Penetanguishene Jr. Kings on Tuesday at the Penetanguishene Arena. In all, 26 players were present for the tryouts with six or seven more expected to come out. The team looks like it could be very strong with the mixture of young players and the returns from last year's squad. Doug Gillespie from Elmvale was the Kings' leading scorer, ranking number 10 in the league scoring race. Gillespie was closely followed by Carl Gowan of Penetanguishene in lith place in the scoring standings. Gowan was the rookie of the year last season. Both will be returning this year along with Paul Robillard from Penetanguishene who finished in the number 20 spot in the standings. Robillard achieved the status of all-star last year, as did Terry King of Penetanguishene who will also be wearing the Kings' sweater. Wayne Dixon from Elmvale will be playing for the team taking their faceoffs in the centre position. Of course, Terry Cameron from Wasaga Beach has been signed for the team. Cameron is the for- mer captain of the Bradford Blues. With Cameron's brand of '"'defensive defense" backing up the team, the Kings will be a very hard team to score upon. If the Kings decide to go with a line combining Gillespie, Dixon and Robillard in the front, while teaming King up with Cameron, they could have one of the strongest lines in local hockey. Don Tannahill, coach of the Kings, feels that, '"'We're going to be competitive." Rubon Rogers at work Off-shore treasures not for Cousteau alone Jacques Cousteau and Rubon Rogers of Wyebridge have a lot in common. ; They both search for hidden treasures in the depths beneath the surface of the waters, Cousteau with a diving suit and Rogers with a metal detector. Rogers may not delve as deeply as Cousteau, but the adventurous spirit is still there. Rogers is helped in his search for riches by his wife. Dianne. Together they work at their hobby which has netted them a tiny cache of collec- tibles. Rogers also has a dealership selling the immersible metal detectors, which combines his hobby with a second job. One of the many treasures Rogers and his wife have found is a 1797 American Quarter that they found in Georgian Bay. That just goes to that valuable coins don't have to be very far out from the prove shore because the immersible unit will only go out as far as five and a half feet until the water will reach the controls. For now, everything works out just fine with Jacques Cousteau foraging in the deeper waters and Rubon and Dianne Rogers claiming those treasures closer to the shore. Barrie coming to Midland to play Bulls Midland Bulls Rugby Club will be playing host tomorrow afternoon to visiting .Barrie Rugby Club in a game of rugger set for the pitch at Midland Secondary School. The game is set for a 1:30 p.m. start. Bulls should be fired up for tomorrow's match after handily defeating York last week 18-0. In that contest Peter Cameron led the way scoring a total of three tries for 12 points in a game Bulls had in the bag from the very beginning : Rugger is probably one of the toughest games in sports. Since it is a combination of football and soccer endurance helps. Players wear no pads at all although they tackle each other in the Same manner as .professionar football players do...tackle with vengeance. Tomorrow's game should be another ex- ciling affair. So if it is excitement you are after the place to be alt 1:30 p.m. is the rugby pitch at MSS. Bulls could use your vocal support' to make it two wins in a row. 42 Big and Little Brothers attend Blue Jays game Thanks to money raised from their Bowl for Millions and help from McDonald's, 42 Big and Little Brothers travelled to the Blue Jay Baltimore game on Sunday. It was Big Brother Day at Exhibition Stadium and over 500 men and their little brothers were in_ at- tendance. When the bus pulled out of Midland, at 10:30 a.m. the prospects for a successful trip seemed limited by the cold and impending rain. But the skies cleared by the time the group reached the Holland Marsh and it developed into a perfect day for baseball. As if they had planned it for this day, the Blue .and some Jays came up with one of their best games of the vear.« It was a pitcher's duel with the Jays leading 2 to 1 until the top of the ninth. Baltimore tied the game up and the game was not decided until the fourteenth inning with a four to three Blue Jay victory. The long afternoon was topped off by Bic Maes, fries and cokes for 42 at a Toronto McDonald's _ provided compliments of owner Jim Blackwell of the Midland franchise. Al 8:30 p.m., the boys very weary adults staggered off the bus in Midland. All seemed to agree that it was a tiring but wor- thwhile day. PENETANG -- MIDLAND se GYM CLUB Gymnastics Corner by Ken St. Amant Gymnastic competitions have occupied a central place in all the Olympic Games of modern times. Gymnastics is considered to be one of man's earliest athletic activities and can probably be claimed as man's oldest sport. It has been an Olympic sport since 1896. Booklet In the booklet "All About the Games"' published for the 1976 Ulympics in Montreal, there is a brief account of its history. The name gymnastics comes from the Greek adjective to describe exercises done by naked athletes. In ancient Greece, gymnastics was practised for health and development of the body, not for competition. Only in the late 19th century were rules of the most popular spectator sports in the Olympic Games. Without a doubt, in 1976 in Montreal and possibly was the most exciting event of the Games. Worldwide television coverage of the Olympic Games has greatly helped gymnastics grow remarkably as a spectator sport. : Most of these spectators are greatly impressed with the development of the gymnast's balance, endurance, flexibility and strength. Gymnastics might well be outlined to make gymnastics competitive. In the early modern Olympic Games, gymnastics are considered more as a demonstration of art than as a legitimate sport. Spectator sports Boy, have things changed! It is now one the sport of the 80's. Very impressive indeed! On a different note, I have been approached by both parents and teachers to provide some technical information on various gymnastic moves. Although this is impossible to do in every article, I will endeavour to comply with this request at every possible opportunity. Try this: the Cartwheel 1) Reach sideways 2) Shift weight to support leg and kick up 3) Take the body weight on the hands, one at a time 4) When foot touches floor, arms lift immediately 5) Work with a rhythmic sound of 1-2-3-4.
