Mr. Buist said the number of spectators at the games are "Really quite good," averaging about 80 to 90 people which isn't bad for a new sport. This year the two lacrosse teams are being run by the recreation department just to get 'it on its feet Mr. Buist said. Hopefully, in the future a Ikresse association will be set up to run the sport, he said. Next year, Mr. Buist expects at least twice as many boys to be interested in playing lacrosse. "One of the biggest things is the sport doesn't have enough coaches," he said. Maybe Apathy This could be partly due to the fact that men don't know enough about the sport, but the rules can be picked up from a rule book and clinics will be held in April for coaches, he said. Maybe its apathy he said. Lacrosse is Canada's national sport although it has not been as popular as hockey. Nevertheless it is one of the oldest organized sports in America. Indians played ,a form of lacrosse called baggat- away and would travel as far as 3,000 miles to participate in a sport that had as many as 75 to 200 players. The game is a combination of hockey and basketball. The net, penalties,five man team. plus goaltender resembles hockey, but the rules on the possession of the ball follows basketball rules.

With the socre tied at 2 a piece, in the sixth frame, the experience again showed as the Turfs took advant- age of several miscues and moved in front to stay. Both teams played well in the field and several double plays early in the game keptAhe Teachers even until the sixth frame. , The late game at the Rec. saw * the Travellers pull an upset and whip a lifeless Texaco nine by a convincing 13-S count.

I 4 V By Nancy Andrews Seaforth residents, are seeing the birth of a new spat town. Five Clinics vverg3held'for three days last week Whelp the kids learn to play lacrosse, one of the ()Iciest sports in North America. • The clinics were sponsored by the Ontgario Minor LacroSse Association which is trying to promote the sport. Thursday afternoon, about 14 boys dressed in all types and colours of shirts at Seaforth arena to learn the basic of the sport from two university students. Clive Buist, recreation director, said during the first day, about 35 boys came, with only about 50, per cent having played the sport before. He said half the boys attending the clinic on Thursday had not come the day before. Two clinics were held last year and since that time interest in the sport has really increased, Mr. Buist said. As a result of those clinics, two teams were formed in Seaforth, the Bantam Lacrosse team for boys 12 to 14 and the Juvenile team for those 14 to 19. Both teams are in the Blue Water League and play against Owen Sound, Kincardine and Wingham. Just last Thursday both teams had their first win of the season with the Bantams winning 5-0 and Juveniles winning 2-0 against the Wingham team. The last home game of 'the season will be plgyed this' Thurs- day against Owen Sound. The lacrosse season lasts from May to mid-August. The clinics were advertised Tennis was the big game in Seaforth over the weekend as a marathon doubles tennis tourna- ment took oven the courts at' SDHS. The tournament was planned to last about 12 hours on Saturday. The quality of • the tennis players was so good that most matches lasted a lot longer than expected and the tournament spilled over into Sunday. The tournament finally ended after 20 not 12 hours, at 6 p.m. Sunday night, recreation director Clive Buist said. as S'eafprth teams tors said, because the first linckeY game was played with a lacrosse stick.. , • Hickory Stick • tacrosse is played with, a hand-made hickory stick, with aleather netted pouch at the end. A st ick of this kind could cost from $10 to $45 or more, and is still made by the Indians. It Standard equipment would include the lacrosse stick, mouth guard and helmets , the hockey helmet could be used. Mr. Buist said, "One of the biggest reasons for the sport catching on, is it -is a great substitute for ,hockey in the summer and kids can use an awful lot of their' hockey skills." The clinic was being taught by' Roger Boyd of Wiarton and Pat Faleon of Ajax. Both are students from Waterloo University and each said they thought the other would have been in physical education when' they first met. Actually Roger Boyd is in biology and Pat Faleon starting his Masters in statistics. Mr. Faleon said lacrosse is probably the best sport in the world for physical conditioning and quick thinking. He said he believes lacrosse has the highest percentage of players with university degrees. This is probably because players don't have the dream of making the professional class and there- fore, don't quit school early. Six Pro Teams Presently there are six profes- sional teams this year, two in Quebec and four in the United States, but, hopefully there will be eight next year, he said. Mr. Faleon said in 1968 a third attempt to start a national league failed. This year, Ontario has no professional team mainly because of insufficient numbers of specta- tors at their games last year. In spite of this, both instructors said lacrosse is "very, very big in Ontario," particularly in "certain parts of Ontario." Mr. Faleon, a member of the North Star, a top amateur t earn, said the future for players who want to make professional status has never looked better. In the past, he said, most players never thought there was anything in it except fun. As a result hehaid, the sport allows players to make lasting freindships. Presently, most professional playerS are earning around $10,000'but'this makes it relative- lyeheap twsupport the. sport:he said. . Clive Buist, said lacrosse is more of a contact sport than most, much more so than hockey. Fewer Injuries Mr. Faleon said in the past, lacrosse has been classed as a violent sport, but a survey had been carried out that showed there were fewer injuries in lacrosse than other contact sports like basketball. Mr. Faleon said lacrosse would bean ideal Olynipic sport but the last time it was played was in 1908 when field laciosse was played, Most matches were extremely close, Mr. Buist said, "some took an hour and a half to two hours." There was a crowd of 'specta- tors watching the matches "and that',s Always good", Mr. Buist said. He 'said he expects the tourna- ment to be run again next year.
