But at Wednesday afternoon's invitational men's pairs tourney the smoke was really flying. Actually the smoke was emerging from the fire at the Burkley restaurant, adjacent to the bowling greens. Despite the smoke and an occasional squirt of water from the fire hoses, the games went on as scheduled. John Bayliss of London and his partner won first prize, Second came the Exeter combination of Ross Taylor and Wellington Brock.

Brian Taylor won the weekly junior tournament Tuesday ninrnina with a 90 I 1.1 I Here it is girls. Finally, a sport has been invented especially and exclusively for women. The game is netball and was introduced at a clinic at the University of Toronto only about a month ago. Netball is one of the largest sports for women in the world but is brand new to Canada. The game is played extensively in the Commonwealth countries and there are over 1,000 adult clubs operating in England alone. Netball is something like basketball in that there is a hooped net 10 feet off the floor at each end of a 100- foot court in which you must sink the ball to score. Here, however the similarity ends. There is no back- board in netball so the shooter must be more accurate with the shot as there is less room for error. There are seven players on each team with no substitution allowed. Netball is a non-aggressive game with no body contact permitted. The players are not free to move over the whole court. They each have a defined area in which they can play and there are only two players out of the seven who can score. Netball is very much a team game. No one player can advance the ball down the length of the court through her own brilliance. The court is divided into thirds and the ball must be handled by a member of the advancing team in each third of the court. To score the ball must be passed into the shooting circle to either the goal scorer or the goal attack. The ball cannot be hurled the complete length of the court. A player may take only one step after she has caught the ball and must then pass the ball to a team- mate within three seconds. These rules make it im- perative that only team play and co-operation make it possible to score a goal. For this reason it is an- nounced that a team has scored rather than an in- dividual, Because of the passing and movement regulations netball is a very fast game and is making quick strides in its early development in Ontario. At this point there are 17 teams playing in the Toronto area out of five clubs. This is mainly at the adult level though steps have already been taken to introduce netball to younger women through the educational system. Need strong rules After watching the tug-of-war championship at Friedsburg Days in Dashwood a couple of weeks ago we would suggest some hard and fast rules for such an event. Up to now each organization that sponsors a pull of strength has made up their own ground rules. In Dashwood, the visiting Cargill team corn plained bitterly about members of the winning Shipka team laying down on the job. Maybe we should say supporters of the Cargill team did most of the com- plaining. There was also some question as to the way of- ficials allowed the pull to start. The Cargill coaches said the flag on the rope was to be over a certain starting line when the judge hollers "pull." The starting method used in Dashwood was devised at the Stephen Centennial celebrations in 1967 and has been used in both Friedsburg Days to date. At this year's tug-of-war, chairman of the event Don Finkbeiner warned both teams to tighten up and then within seconds hollered pull. At this point judge Glenn Webb quickly thrust a cane into the ground where the centre flag was at the time and the pull was on. This method is certainly worthy of being copied for tug-of-wars in other areas. The necessity of jockeying the rope back and forth to get even with a stationary point isn't necessary as the cane can be put at any point very quickly. PLAYGROUND WINNERS — A mock track and field meet was held Friday morning for participants in Exeter's playground program. Receiving team trophies are Helen Brand, second from the left and Mark Stephen. With the two youngsters are playground supervisors Dianne Adkins, left, and Sandra Shapton and Anne Pinder.
