For others it's a lot tougher. We are now talking about a very little publicized area in the world of sports. Sponsored by the Ontario Wheelchair Sports Council handicapped per- sons throughout the province have the opportunity to par- ticipate with others at their own physical level. Watch a basketball game involving the Toronto Thunderbolts and you realize wheelchairs are less than an inconvenience, they are part of the game. Take Tom Duncan, who walks into the gymnasium and then gets into his chair, A rookie with the Thunderbolts, Tom played basket ball on his feet until a few years ago when a spinal injury put a stop to athletic activities until he learned to use his chair, The wheel chair is not a symbol of disability but rather one of special abilities. The players whether they are paraplegics, amputees or otherwise disabled learn to turn their chairs into racers, A fast break in wheelchair basketball is just that. Those that control their back muscles chop down the backs of their chairs for increased mobility. Their well developed chests and arms enable them to keep their chairs on the move in between dribbling and passing. Jump shots and layups are out but the shooting is uncannily accurate, This is the second year the Thunderbolts are playing in the National Wheelchair Basketball Associatiofi an American league encompassing 66 city teams. Vancouver is the only other Canadian city participating in this continental championship. In Ontario the growth of competitive sports for the han- dicapped has been somewhat slow and limited according to Dave Jack, one of two governors representing Ontario on the Canadian Wheelchair Sports Association. Basketball is just one of a number of sports available for the handicapped. Now there is the opportunity to train and compete in swimming, volleyball, weightlifting, ping pong, shooting, archery and track and field. Athletes participating in national and international competition are classified from one to six according to their distribution of unimpared muscles. This way they compete with others on their own level. All the sports are performed with minimum adaption of rules covering the original sport. For example in basketball the only difference is that players are allowed to stay in the key for five seconds instead of three and they are allowed only two pushes on their chairs before they must dribble or pass. The chairs themselves are considered to be part of the player's body and must be handled accordingly to avoid fouls. Anyone regardless of age or type of disability can par- ticipate in some capacity. Mr. Jack said in a news release "many people naturally feel a great deal of bitterness when they lose some muscle control or use of their limbs. Beyond providing much needed exercise sport can provide an outlet for frustrations arid help build self confidence." . He continued,. "One of our major aims is to set up inter- city and provincial competitions in the hope of getting more people involved. At present the Ontario Council represents about 100 members from clubs located in St. Catharines, Toronto and Hamilton. "This is still a grass roots operation," says Mr. Jack. "The most important thing is getting the people out once, to give themselves a chance to see what they can do." Until the formation of the Ontario Council there was a serious absence of organization, little continuity to any ex- isting programs and little communication other than word of mouth to inform potential participants of available programs and competitions. The lack of funds prolonged and aggravated these dif- ficulties. Despite the support received from the Canadian Legion and Lions Clubs, efforts to raise monies always fell short. The Ontario Council hopes that through government grants and sponsorships of teams, it will be able to expand its community programs gaining citizen support in return. These growing pains are due in part to the fact that sport for the physically handicapped is still a mere fledgl- ing. It began in the 1930's in England with Sir Ludwig Gutt- man introducing archery and table tennis into rehabilitation programs and later adding all the events participated in to- day. In 1938, the first of the annual Stoke Mandeville Games was staged in England. There were only 16 competitors but they were instrumental in moving the new sport concept from the level of rehabilitation to the level of competition. From these beginnings the philosophies and ideals spread to other countries until 1952 when the Stoke Games became an international meet with 130 competitors. In 1967 Canada followed suit and hosted the first Wheelchair Pan Am Games in Winnipeg. The same year the provinces competed against each other for the first time at the Centennial Games in Montreal. It was after these games that the Canadian Wheelchair Sports Association was form- ed. The Exeter Hawks failed to gain the win column in two Ontario Hockey Association Junior "D" league starts this week. Performing on home ice on both occasions the Hawks lost 9-6 to the Belmont Sunsets Friday night and Sunday afternoon they were edged 6-4 by the Clinton Mustangs. This week the Hawks again see action in two home contests. Friday night they are at home to the Tavistock Braves while Tuesday night the Lucan Irish will supply the opposition. Fata I Second Period The second period proved disastrous for the Hawks Sunday as they met the Clinton Mustangs in one of very few home Sunday afternoon contests this year, After the Hawks had taken a 3-2 lead early in the middle frame the Mustangs kicked back and scored three unanswered goals to take a 5-3 lead. Both teams scored one goal in the third period. The game was only 31 seconds old when the Hawks hit the score sheet for the first time. Rick Ingram pulled the trigger on the successful shot as he took a pass from Matt Muller. After Dave McClure tied the count for Clinton the same two Hawks combined te,, blink, the light again.

This week's scores were: Dark Angels 5 - BJ's 0 Winkers 5 - Sharpshooters 0 Itchy Niters 3 - Swimmers 2 Canners 3 - Last Chance 2 BA's 3 - Scotties 2 DR's 3 - Dart Sharks 2 Shiphunters 3 - Doublers 2 Friday's schedule is as follows: 8 p.m. Dart Sharks vs Shiphunters Canners v5 Winkers Sharpshooters vs Doublers 9:30p.m. BJ's vs BA's Last Chance vs Dark Angels Itchy Niters vs DR's Scotties vs Swimmers providing the assist at 10.57.
