FOR ALL. GOOD SPORTS
By Ross Haugh
Kings take one-game lead, in set Any stars
around here?
Kings the go-ahead run in the
fifth.
Four fielding zniscues caused
the Dashwood downfall in the fatal
sixth as five Zurich batters com-
pleted the base path cycle.
Dick Bedard and Eugene Guen-
ther were the mound opponents,
each allowing six hits with the
former getting the victory,
man across with the second Tiger
tally in the third,
In the home half of the same
frame, Zurich again tied the
score. Earl Wagner, who reach-
ed first on an error was chased
home on Don O'Brien's one base
knock.
Back to back doubles by O'-
Brien and Bruce Horton gave the
game winning marker in the
seventh. He singled to open the
frame, moved to second on a walk
to .Gord Vincent, to third on a
sacrifice bunt and across the pan
on a Zurich fielding miscue,
Eugene Guenther in picking up
the Dashwood pitching victor y
was in rare form, giving up but
four hits and set the Zurich bat-
ters down in order in the last
four innings.
On the opposing hill, Don.
O'Brien turned in a good effort
and although touched for nine
hits was tough in the clutches,
leaving 14 Tigers stranded on
the base paths.
Zurich Lumber Kings took a
34 games lead In their best-of-
seven Huron-Perth "D" final
with a 4-1 win at the Dashwood
park, Tuesday. The Kings had
taken Wednesday and Friday tilts
by 10-1 and 8-2 scores before
the Tigers came back on Sunday
with a 3.2 decision to tie the set,
The sixth game was PlaY0d in
Dashwood, last night, Wednesday
and if a seventh game is neces-
sary it goes to-night, Thursday,
again at the Dashwood diamond.
Award prizes to top golfers
Prizes were plentiful as the CFB golfers and. Exeter businessmen
met for the last time in tournament play at the Ausable golf course
last week. In the photos, S/L C, J. Malone, right, is shown present-
ing awards to the top performer from each grouO.AboVe, Brent
a/larsters gets his accolade as the top Centralia golfer with a gross
of 75. Below, Jim Russell takes "the jug" as Exeter's low scorer
of the day with a 79. --T-A photos
Our Canadian representatives in the recently
concluded British Empire games in Kingston, Ja-
maica, turned in, the best effort for our country in
more than 30 years.
Led by our swimmers, who comprise prob.
ably the best organized sport in the nation, the
Canadian team finished in third place in a field of
21 countries,
The success of the swim team was due to the
most extraordinary efforts by a few and Elaine Tan-
ner, in particular. The Vancouver youngster compiled
four gold and three silver medals to rank as the top
athlete of the entire games.
Finishing third in an international competi-
tion probably doesn't call for any special flag-waving,
but it is a step in the right direction.
This accomplishment doesn't give us any right
as the public to sit back and say "we'll do better next
time" without doing anything about it.
Without lessening the importance of the re-
cent Canadian showing, amateur sport at this level
is still the poor relation as far as athletics go in this
country,
Our showing certainly would indicate that
with a lot of hard work by coaches and athletes end
more financial aid we could be at least an adequate
competitor in international sports of this nature.
This probably isn't well known, but only a
small group of people are responsible for our fine
record in Jamaica. Many of our top swimmers are
trained in the United States, mostly because of the
lack of proper training facilities and coaching here.
This costs money, and in most cases parents are
forced to foot the bill.
When considering that serious track and field
events are carried on in only scattered areas of Can-
ada, our third place finish was very gratifying.
In this immediate area very little, if anything,
is done to encourage amateur track and field. Grant-
ed, the local high school has their annual event and
competes with other district schools in track and
field.
We probably have as many potential cham-
pions as other parts of the country if they were
properly trained and had the opportunity to advance.
Several bright stars over the years at the lo-
cal hall of learning come to mind at the moment.
John Haberer of Zurich, a top runner at the high
school level went on to make the grade on the track
team at the University of Western Ontario. John
furthered his education at Duke University in North
Carolina and competed in some events in the States.
More recently Carolyn Simmons was the top
girl performer at SHDHS a couple of years ago, but
has not continued, because of lack of facilities.
BIG FIFTH FRAME
Five runs in the sixth inning
provided the difference as Zur-
ich Lumber Kings swamped
Dashwood Tigers 8-2 in Zurich,
Friday.
The visiting Tigers scored
singley in the first and third while
the Kings retorted with lone
markers in the second, fourth
and fifth to go in front a-as
After two were out in the initial
stanza, Bill Schade banged a
single, moved up on a walk to
Gord Vincent and home on an-
other single from the bat of Ken
Rader.
Bruce Horton doubled and Geo-
rge liaggitt singled to produce
the Zurich equalizer in the sec-
ond.
Singles by Ken Rader and
Whitey Denomme sent Bob Hoff-
JOHNSTON DELIVERS
Zurich second sacker 13 o b
Johnston singled in the bottom of
the fifth to score Rick Stade from
third base with the Kings second
run of the inning and the actual
winner as their club registered
the 4-1 go ahead win in the final
play-off series, Tuesday. Phil
Overholt had singled to open the
frame and came home on Stade's
triple.
Dashwood had moved in front
temporarily in the third as Bob
Hoffman singled, stole second and
third and romped home on a pass-
ed ball.
Don O'Brien added Zurich's
third tally in the sixth, reaching
second as the result of a Tiger
error, moving to third on an in-
field out and home after the catch
on Overholt's fly to right.
The Lumber Kings' final mark-
er came in their half of the
eighth as Bruce Horton singled
with two out and raced all the way
home on Bob McNaughton's two
bagger.
Jim Pfaff of Zurich and Eu-
gene Guenther of the Tigers fac-
ed each other on the mound and
engaged in a tight duel. The
former struck out ten Dashwood
batters over the full nine inning
route that was completed in less
than two hours. Guenther fanned
seven and each pitcher gave up
four safeties.

Good fun prevails

TIGERS TAKE SQUEAKER
Dashwood Tigers evened their
best-of-seven series with Zurich
at two games a piece with a close
3-2 win on their home diamond,
Sunday afternoon.
The Lumber Kings scored
single runs in the first and fourth
and the Tigers came back with a
pair in the fifth and plated the
winner in the bottom of the
seventh.
Bob Johnston, Zurich's lead-
off batter, doubled in the first
and finished his trip to the plate
on two infield outs. Again in the
fourth, the Kings scored their
second run as Rick Stade came in
on a couple of ground-outs after
reaching the base paths on a
Dashwood throwing error.
The Tigers knotted the game
at 2-2 in the fifth as Bill Schade's
double chased Jim Hayter and Bob
Hoffman over the plate.
One of Dashwood's top hitters
over the entire season, third
baseman Art Rader scored the
Exeter Kinsmen came from
behind a 5-0 deficit to score all
their runs in the last three frames
in posting an 8-5 decision over
the Teen Town in Rec league
softball play under the lights
Wednesday. All other games were
rained out.
The Teen Towners scored a
single run in the third and came
right back with a quartet in the
next inning to build up a sizeable
lead.
Catcher Bill Fairbairn opened
the third with a single, moved
up as Ron Cornish reached first
on a free pass and scored when
John Snell's grounder eluded the
Kin infield.
The youngsters put together
singles by Frank Boyle and Dave
Woods, a hit batsman and another
error to score four times in the
fourth.
One base safeties from the
bats of Chuck McKenzie and Jim
Hewitt, followed by a walk and
two long sacrifice drives to cen-
tre field, put the Kinsmen back
in the running in the fifth.
A four run Kin outburst in the
sixth put them out in front to

A challenge golf tourney that
started a number of years ago as
a friendly get-together, ended the
same way at the Ausable Golf
Course, Wednesday.
In the beginning, a handful of
Exeter businessmen and service
personnel from then, RCAF Cen-
tralia, competed annually to dis-
cover which group had the best
golfers. Last week's outing, in
conjunction with the closing of
CFB, Centralia brought out some
50 golfers from the two areas.
A large CFB trophy that has
been up for grabs for several
years was handed over to the Ex-
eter men for future use.

Base Commander, officially
turned over the large piece of
silverware to Derry Boyle, reeve
of Exeter and one of the partici-
pants.
In actual play after nine holes,
the games committee composed
of Earl Knoblauch and Lou Lar-
mond sorted the competitors into
four flights based on their early
showing.
In each flight an Exeter and a
Centralia champion were declar-
ed. The top golfer of the day and
winner of A" flight for Centralia
was Brent Marsters with a 75.
Stan Thorne also of the base
turned in a commendable 78.
Jim Russell was Exeter's best
finishing with an 18 hole total of
79. In "B" ranks, Lloyd Green-
acre of town and Jacques Var-
reault, representing Centralia,
were low shotsmiths with identi-
cal rounds of 86.
"C" flight low scorers were
Derry Boyle and Alec Hopley,
while Bob Baynham and Red Fair-
ly posted the lowest cards in
,'D" competition.
S/L Jack Malone, who will be
commanding the Centralia Rear
Party, made the presentations to
the various winners.

IMPROVEMENTS BEING MADE
Scientific improvements are invading the
sports field. A Canadian Legion track and field coach-
ing clinic concluding this week in Guelph will un-
veil some new inventions.
A sort of man-eating cloud nine jumping pit
will be tried out. Made of an inflated, puncture-proof
material, the pit has a buoyancy which swallows a
pole vaulter after he drops over the bar. This should
make for "cleaner" jumping as compared to landing
in sand or sawdust.
Then there's the pole-vaulting machine which
tells the vaulter, to the ounce, when a fiberglas
pole will break under pressure. Constant operation
of a pole-snapping machine is conceded to be noisy
and expensive. But it is invaluable in scientifically
demonstrating how much stress a fiberglas pole will
take.
When a space capsule goes wheeling off into
the wild blue yonder, it means that a computer has
first worked out a proper trajectory. When a high
jumper takes off, the trajectory, or knowledge of
it is equally important to his coach. Mr. Bernard
Hopper, an English physicist, will relate the laws of
motion to track and field at the Guelph school.
For the casual dial reader, the 11-day clinic
will offer dynometers which measure leg and back
strength plus an assortment of other devices used
in physical fitness testing.
Out on the track, coaches will be introduced
to a sequence camera which shoots eight frames of
action and produces a finished picture in 10 seconds.
Students can thus study and make immediate cor-
rections in their technique.
However, in spite of all the dials, slide rules
and the radical equipment there is still one impor-
tant, old-fashioned ingredient to these clinics. It's
called sweat.

READY FOR RODEO
Officials of the Exeter Saddle Club are busily
completing arrangements for their annual rodeo to
be held on their club grounds two and a half miles
west of Exeter on the Labour Day weekend.
Complete shows will be held on Saturday and
Sunday, September 3 and 4 at 2:00 p.m. A full pro-
gram of rodeo events, including the popular calf rop-
ing, steer riding and bulldogging classes should give
the spectators plenty of thrills.
Anyone interested in entering any of the
events on either day can make official application
to Dalton Finkbeiner, who is in charge of registra-
tions.

The Exeter bantams lost the
third and deciding game of their
WOAA group finals in Clinton
Friday by a 13-12 count. The
local youngsters tied the best-
of-three set with a 3-2 verdict
in a well-played contest on the
Exeter diamond, Wednesday.
Six quick runs in the first
inning put the Exeter kids into
an early lead in Friday's game
in Clinton, but the home team
fought back and scored three
times in the last frame to post
the 13-12 win,
Lots of solid base hits fea-
tured the wide open contest. Don
Farrell, who played three dif-
ferent positions in the Exeter
line-up, including a stint on the
mound was the top hitter of the
night, banging a single, double,
triple and a home run in four
trips to the plate.
Barry Baynham opened the
Exeter first with a double and
three straight singles from the
bats of Doug Finkbeiner, Greg
Revington and Ron Grasdahl
chased the first three markers
across. Pete Revington drew a
walk and Farrell followed with

LIGHTS OUT
Fresco Thompson, vice-president of the Los
Angeles Dodgers tells about the time he used a two-
way flashlight in the third base coaching box when
he managed the New Orleans Pelicans 20 years ago.
It was supposed to be a thing of beauty, one button
turning on a green light, the other red, and Fresco.
it was said, used it as a stop-and-go signal for his
base-runners.
"1 thought is was a pretty fair idea at the
time," recalled Fresco, "but the umpires chased me
out of the park with it," They said it was making
"light" of the national pastime.

SPORTS LAUGHS
A golfer was trying out a new golf course for
the first time and his first big swing on the first tee
resulted in the ball still resting comfortably on the
ground. He turned to a friend and remarked: "This
course is two inches lower than the one t normally
play on."
