Kelly Swales -knows better than to take anything in sports for granted. ~ At the moment, the 17- year-old Grade 12 student from St. Theresa's High School is one of 12 girls on the roster of the Ontario provincial volleyball team, but Swales also knows that the national championships are still a long way off and things can change fast. Swales, who also plays on the Midland Here's Lookin' Atcha squad in the Ontario Volleyball Association Ladies' Senior A loop, was one of 60 girls who accepted invitations to the provincial team camp in Toronto last summer. The roster was finally apred down to 17 girls, and, at the most recent preactice, a preferred list of 12 girls was an- nounced. "Right now I'm_in- cluded on it," says Swales, who helped the St. Theresa's Senior girls to a _ semi-final finish at the recent Ontario Federation of School Athletic Association Champi- onships in London. "SBute she adds cautiously, "you never know what will happen between now and January." At 5 feet, four inches, it's not been an easy task for Swales at the provincial tryouts. She earned the at- tention of the coaches with her skilled back- court work, and will earn a spot on the team as a defensive specialist. "Most of the girls are all taller,"she says, "'but I play the back row where I can get down on the floor easier than they can and handle the defensive work." A tall teammate of Swales at St. Theresa's, Patti Cox, was also invited to the provincial camp but passed it up because of other commitments. Cox was in her final season of hgh school play this season and attracted a lot of at- tention from university scouts. Swales, who - also attracted a lot of at- tention with her own gritty style, will be back in the St. Theresa's court in the fall, a fact which -- no matter what the outcome of her provincial team bid - will make her one of the busiest volleyball ladies around next season. SIDELINES @ Cont'd from pg. 20 Live Jack-a-lopes may not be transferred from one area to another. This is to prevent further mixing of strains in this already strained mixture. These animals may only be hunted by procuring a special Jack-a-lope license, and only during Jack-a-lope season. One enterprising hunter devised a special Jack-a-lope rifle which, naturally, is called a Jack Gun. This gun looks like an ordinary weapon, with one exception: the rifle barrel is bent backwards at about a 180-degree angle. For the skilled hunter, this proved to be exceptionally accurate. For the unskilled, it was disastrous, and many a Jack-a-lope hunter is now walking around today with nothing to hang his hat on. So, due to the 'fatality rate, authorities ordered 'the manufacturers to cease " production. Heard enough? Tread carefully, now, Easter is ap- proaching ... WHERE THERBE'S SMOKEY... "Mis-ter Forbes," came the words from the beet-red face which greeted me as I stepped into Elmvale Arena last Thursday night. "Look at the score up there. Still think it's bush league? Huh? Huh?" Apparently, Smokey Vollick was referring to a recent column in which I pointed out that the words "Bush League"' were scrawled atop an Elmvale and District Senior Mens' Hockey League game sheet in the space requesting a category of play. Apparently also, Smokey was trying to draw my attention to the fact that the Elmvale Steelers were beating Barrie American Hotel in last Thursday's opening game of the league's championship series, and trying to draw some connection bet- ween that fact and the "bush league"' 'matter. The first question that came to mind was: Why is the league president and grand pooh-bah demonstrating such an obvious bias toward one team? Smokey hates this Barrie club so badly that he once had one player -- Irv Johnston -- kicked out of a game before it started because Irv had shot a puck down the ice from the doorway before the maintenance people were off. _ Last week, he tried to have my younger brother barred because he claimed Dave played Junior C last year (a no-no), despite the fact my brother was two years too old for Junior. "Bush League?" Nawww. The whole league isn't bush, just glaring parts of it. SPORTSQUESTION Last week we wanted to know what a rabbit punch is. One anonymous caller suggested it might be an Easter party drink. Wrong. It's a highly-illegal boxing swat landed on the back of the neck. Now that we have that one out of the way, let's knock about this week's question: What are the odds (to the nearest thousand) of the average duffer getting a hole in one? Hint: Forget it.
