It didn't; take long for a big story te corne his way -- the Whitby Red Wings won- the Ontario junior C championship that; first winter and Cordon neyer looked back. He was soon 'hooked up with The Times fairly st;eady" covering local sports. Canadian Press picked up many of hie reports, as did the Toronto Globe. and Mail and local newspapeire in Ontario Hockey Association towns and cit;ies when their teame were playing in Whit;by.» He also broadcast reports between peniods and after the gaine over Oshawa radio station CKLB.

It; was aIso one of hie greatest disappointments, as; he wae unable to accompany the teain to the world championship tournament in Norway because of health problems. Bob Hesketh took his place. It was a real disappointinent - to think that. I wrote every gaine but three that; they piayed in Ontario and.then missed the trip to Norway," he says. Formner W.hitbv mayor Bob Attersley was one of the Dunlop's key players, Gordon recalis, soexing two goals in the 4--2 viotory over Russia in the final gaie. "He was a good hockey player - a lot; of people used to tease me when I was writ;ing because he'd be the star and I'd run his pîcture in the paper. "One guy told me that if Attersley ran for mayor, with the publicity you're giving hum, he'd be a shoo-in - and sure enough, he did!" Gordon was--pretty well-known "He took his grandson up to watch the Santa Claus parade one year," his wife Sheila recalle, "and every1xody that came down eaid "Hi Ouif, hi Cliff - and Jamie turned to hlm and said 'Grandpa, do you know everybodyT' Not content to juat write about the tearne, Cordon was also t;he officiai scorer, public address announcer -and publicity director for the Dunlops 'and Brooklin Redînen, and servedl as a secretary treasurer for other local teains. "A lot of nights Sheila was home alone; I would work ail day in Pickering, come home at quarter after six, grab my supper, iay down for 10 minutes, change my clothes and go down to the rink." Gordon wrote his last story in April, 1970 and says that he'e lemieeed it like a son-of-ýa-gun... there were a lot of pretty wonderfui times."
