They can be found par- Pipped in Participaction The Ray Goodenough rink was not quite goodenough in Wednesday's Participaction Tournament at the Midland Lawn Bowling Club. They finished runners- up to the Flo Thorn rink from Orillia. Neverless, Ray, Lawn bowlers brave cold by Ed Pearson The weather decided not to participate in the Par- ticipaction salutations last Wednesday. Mother Nature was a little testy and tested the mettle of all the participants by serving up a very cool day for it. The lawn bowlers at the Midland club were equal to the challenge and fielded 16 teams to fill all eight rinks for the Participaction Triples Tournament. They were happy to host four teams from the Orillia Lawn Bowling Club. Decerum was thrown to the winds as some of the players resorted to some very colourful apparel. Thought about going to the trunk of my car for my curling sweater myself. One rink played with a hot hand all day. The all- ladies rink from Orjllia, skiped by Flo Thorn of Col- dwater, viced by Millie McMillan and lead by Lily Wilkie, won all. three of their games to eclipse the rest of the field. Ray Goodenough, Edna McDonald and Mary Lusk, Skip, Vice and Lead respectively, saved Midlands honour by acheiving the runners-up spot. Harry Pearce skipped Marge Stamo and Joan James: to a third place finish. Harry Titherington, Forence Broad and Ed Pypher combined to pro- duce a high two game score. It is a measure of the Midlands Club's members zest for bowling that so many would expose themselves to such cool conditions in the name of the game. It must have given some satisfaction to the drawmasters, Marse Gilmore and Ken Cowan. The bowlers were grateful to the kitchen kittens, Dot Tucker, Irene Atkins and Bella Bailey who kept everyone topped up with tea all day. Shiverboard Anyone? The Shuffleboard frater- nity proved that they were taking of their favourite sport almost any afternoon at the courts at the Midland Lawn Bowling Club. seen here with his Vice, Edna McDonald and lead Marge Stamp, look satisfied with their day's performance. not Participaction Poopers by also braving the elements. Twelve hardy players suffered some shivery shuffleboard to register the participation of their chosen sport. When I got to the courts they were down to six survivors. A spirited competition was taking place between Bet- ty Stacey, Jennie Palmer, Marg Davies, Mollie Lavigne, Ray Tontant and Al Levigne. Ladies and Gentlemen, your dedica- tion was duly noted.

Mike Larmand pumped in 54 points for Chicago but it wasn't enough as Sacramento nipped the Bulls 91-88. Paul McQuirter checked in with 35 points to lead the victors while Tim Dion collected 20 points: Bill Meridis was good for 21 for Chicago. The Midland Peewee Lacrosse Braves continued their unbeaten ways with a convincing 8-1 victory in Huntsville. The team was helped immeasurably by the solid goalkeeping of Kevin Beauvais as well as the weak netminding of his counterpart in the Hunt- sville goal. Beauvais made a number of key saves and with better positioning and a growing standup style he should be the bulwark of the team for the coming season. Peter Tumber started the scoring early with a long hard shot from his corner position after taking a pass from Beauvais. At 11:04, Kevin Lunnie was set up by Peter Kitay for the first of his four goals. One of Midland's prettier goals came shortly thereafter as Kevin Lunnie and Peter Kitay exchanged passes with the latter then forwar- ding the ball to an un- covered Naomi Walser who quickly socred to the lower corner. In the second period, Kevin Lunnie scored on a solo effort and Brent Lun- nie, while killing a penalty, let go a hard shot from six- ty feet that caught the up- per corner. Peter Kitay was also awarded an assist on the play. In the third Huntsville scored its lone goal but Midland quickly rebound- ed with two from Kevin Lunnie, and one by Jamie Summers. On one of the goals, Chris Jussila earned his first assist of the year, with additional assists go- ing to Jamie Summers, Peter Tumber, and Kevin Beauvais. Especially encouraging was the spirited two-way play of the creasemen, Donny DelBrocco, Robert Fawcett, Matthew Gibson and Philip McAllen. All of them came close to scoring their first goals of the season and, more impor- tantly, they all came back: well to defend their own end. Better still was the im- proved play of the cor- nermen, particularly, Jason Nimmo and Darren Gor- thy, who were playing these positions for the first time. Despite the certain knowledge that they would | Braves undefeated be checked hard, they con- tinued to go after loose balls and clear their zone with passes. Some of these were rather inaccurate, but more games and practices will solve the problem. Peter Tumber and Chris Jussila were a strong twosome on defence and Tumber, particularly, was quite adept in sending long passes to the forwards allowing for quick breaks into the opposition end. Rodney Lavechia was a steadying influence on his partner and also helped kill three penalties. On June 1st at 7 p.m. the Braves host Orillia at Centennial Arena, and, the following evening, travel to Barrie for a 7:30 p.m. start against the only league not engaged as yet this season.
