SPORTS
By DON "BOOM -BOOM" .GRAVETT
Sports :editor
Teams in the sports field today are enjoying a
field clay iii making the scribes look sick in declaring
favorites to win certain honors.
Sports writers, better known •as "the so-called
experts", each year piek the teams of their choice
ps to where they are bound to end up or what dras-
tic changes are going to take place in the near future.
However, the laugh always falls on the poor guys
who stick their necks out making the predictions.
I remember this corner clearly stating that the
KITCHENER-WATERLOODUTCHMEN would walk
through all opposition and cop the Allen Cup without
too much difficulty because this year the West conies
East and the Dutchies were packed solidly. What
happens! 'WHITBY DTJNLOPS, a Senior "B" team
last year, knocks them, over like bowling pins, goes
on to finish off the supposedly strong NORTH BAY
Trappers and then grabs then honors by clumping the,
Yankee Spokane reps in four straight games!
I can't recall any writer picjcing Whitby to take
it all early in the season. Do you?
In basebal1,. everyone was yelling about how
strong the Yankees were and that it would be a sure
walk -away for the A.L. pennant. But where are they
fhday? They are struggling to keep above a ,500
percentage in the win column!
We feel that one of the biggest farces of all
the sports writers made was in the choosing of the
goalie for the NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE dream
team.
The writers put GLENN HALL on the first team
instead of Vezina Trophy winner JAQUES PLANTE.
Montreal sports writers let personal feelings interfere
with their selection as it was said that Plante and.
some writers didn't see eye to eye. To this corner,
a player should be judged by the performance he's
making his living at and at the moment we sure
can't think of anyone who looked sharper between
the pipes than he did in the playoffs.
The fans split the first All-Star team 3-3 be-
tween MONTREAL and DETROIT while the writers
put four WINGS in for the extra $1000.
A lot of room for argument is left in the choice
of EDDIE LITZENBURGER for centre on the second
team. ANDY BATHGATE, who set a NEW YORK
RANGER club scoring record this year and' practical-
ly hoisted the Rangera single-handedly into the play.
offs should have gotten the berth as he looked plenty
sharp against LES CANADIENS. However, maybe
he'll get a chance next year if the writers will lower
their bi-focals and look to the Gotham city squad
for one of their selections.

The eighth annual YOUNG CANADA WEEK
hockey tournament is over and jt turned out to be
another great success. A lot of credit must go to the
town of Goderich for all the worry, time and effort
put 'forward to make the week-long affair the great
success it was.
• Individual potential hockey greats were seen all
through the week as no less than 74 games took
place in the rink
One of the best teams to be seen on Goderich
ice was the SHOPSY'S entry from TORONTO. Shop-
sy's won the grand championship and in doing so
. posted their sixty-fifth win for this season as against
only two setbacks. Of course a team like this must
have been th'e cream of the crop from the .hog town
area as theyproved to be just too good all the way
around in size and ability for the other clubs. But
we must admit it was very interesting to watch the
LEAF sponsored team, in action 'as the knowledge
the coaches try to sink into their heads at such an
early stage provides a lot of amazing results.
With the climax of the "Biggest Little Tourna-
ment in the World" hockey has come to almost a
complete •standstill as only the O.H.A. Senior "B"
title has yet to be decided and that will take place
in Elmira on Thursday night. (Wallaceburg blew an
excellent chance of copping the Ontario honors Tues-
day night by taking a 4-0 shellacking right ;in their
home rink.

the "D" series at the eighth
annual Young Canada Week
hoekey tournament at Goderich,

ture on Saturday afternoon by
bowing4-3 to Elmira in a grand
champion series game.
A deflected goal, scored at
6.31 of the second overtime
period by Elmira's flashy
centre, Rodney Selling, put an
abrupt- end to the see -saw battle
for the right to enter the grand
championship finals against
Shopsy's of Toronto.
Plenty of excitement prevailed
in the atmosphere as the large
crowd of spectators applauded
heartily the play of both teams
in ;the two-hour and 15 -minute

tournament standout, fired three
of the four goals scored by the
winners, while Brian Woodall

for Hensall.
Stepping into their second
game of the day, Elmira Pee

crew rdio didn't seem to have
the links out of their legs.
Elmira tested Goalie Dennis
Mock from all angles with a
number of well -labelled shots,
but the fast-moving goaltender
weathered the storm to keep the
tc'ams on an even basis until
9.39.

At 9.39 of the initial period,
12 -year-old Rodney Selling inter-
cepted a clearing pass at centre
ice for a breakaway. The lanky
centre raced in and faked Mock
out of position and gracefully
flipped the puck into the corner
of the net to put his club into a
1-0 lead.
Shortly after the goal, Jerry
Farr, of Elmira, drew an elbow-
ing penalty, but the stellar work
of Payne in the Elmira nets
kept Hensell off the scoresheet.
