Well it's time for a few more lines on sports,
but before we begin with our two main sports
activities, a word of appreciation to the Optimist
Club for their 'work over the past year with boys
in town. A banquet was held on Monday night in
honor of the boys (Bantams, Pee Wees, in baseball
and Squirts in Hockey) beginning a week of
Appreciation- for Youth throughout Canada and
United States. Although just one week is set
aside, the work done by all service clubs through-
out Ihe year is not only a great service and benefit
to the boys but helps make them into our leaders
of to-morrow.
Before we get to Football let's discuss what
makes a sports fan. Just who is a sports fan?
Is he physically or mentally active? Does he have
a complete knowledge of the rules and regulations
of the game he's attending? Does he always enjoy
the sport he is attending? Is he inclined to be
sports minded? So just who or what makes a
sports fan? He's a common breed and fits into
many catagories, he could be genuinely interested
and could have a complete and thorough knowledge
of the game or he could just be using the game
itself as an outlet to let off steam after a hard
day at work.
Then again there are some fans who never
really become involved in the game but enjoy
sitting and mingling among a crowd. Maybe you
attend a game because a4, friend or relative is
playing on one of the teams participating or perhaps
it's local pride,to support your home team or
pride to get behind a winning team. Whatever the
reason and there are hundreds more, the sport
fan is just a common, average everyday person so,
even if you didn't realize it before, you yourself
may be a real true sports fan.
Now lets turn to the CFL where the highly
favoured Argo's were eliminated over the week end
and, the favoured Eskimos were also handed a
defeat. As we look back at the final standings in
both leagues we see that in the Western league
I was only wrong in placing Edmonton third and
Calgary second but as they had identical records
and Calgary came through in the playoffs, I wasn't
out by much. I• picked Calgary and Saskatchewan
in the Western final with Saskatchewan winning out.
So if Saskatchewan comes through I'll be o.k. in
the West. In the East I was again out in my
final standings but only with Toronto and Hamilton
reversed. Then I picked Toronto and Hamilton
in the final which was washed out last week end
when the Montreal squad upset the favoured Argo's.
Now with the All's and Ti-Cats meeting, I'll
stick with Hamilton to make the Grey Cup with
the Cup returning West after Sask. sidelines Hamil-
ton.
Hockey, a common word among Canadians as
it's our national game and from the increase of
area teams and interest locally we haven't yet
given it up to the Americans. Last week we
discussed the proposed sixth place finishers so
now let's move up to the fifth place teams. In
the Eastern Division I have Buffalo and in the
West Philadelphia. First Buffalo, just one big
reason for placing this new expansion team up
so high and that is a man by the name of '"Punch"
Imlach. Although many fans disagree with his
methods and his actions toward his players he
has a proven NHL coaching record and with his
desire to win and determination, I feel Buffalo
will edge out Toronto and finish in fifth place.
In the Western Division I put Philadelphia in
fifth mainly because they show very little im-
provement ,and from past seasons records have
folded when the going gets a little rough: "Only
the lifeless L.A. team and the faltering Oakland
team will prevent the Flyers from dropping even
lower in the standings.
Next week we look at Detroit and Pittsburgh
and the fourth and final playoff spot in each
Division.
