The courts built a year ago through the courtesy of the Exeter Lions club have been in use from 7 a.m. to dusk almost everyday of the week when the weatherman per- mits. Priority in use of the tennis courts has been causing some problems. Rec director Jim McKinlay told us this week that he is establishing a tennis court booking system within the next week or so which should alleviate the problem. A bulletin board will be placed at the entrance to the tennis courts to allow tennis enthusiasts to reserve their playing time in half hour sections. McKinlay said lesson and club times will be blocked out for each day. Times for lessons and the club schedule vary from day to day which means everyone wishing to use the facility must book early on the day they wish to play. The rec director added, "The reserve system isn't foolproof. We are relying on common sense to make it work. There are two alternatives which we do not wish to use. The courts could be locked and would-be participants forced to go to the recreation office for a key or an atten- dant hired and fees charged for use." McKinlay reports activity at the swimming pool has been good. He said he was pleased with the large number taking part in the early season lessons. Entries are also coming in for Friday's soap box derby which will be held on the hill near the swimming pool. A similar event may be held again on Labour Day Monday. McKinlay said he had one complaint from a father about the soap box derby being held on a Friday afternoon. It appears this particular father is his son's chief mechanic. Well, mother may be brought in to keep one of the en- trants on the course. One of the fund raising projects of the Exeter and dis- trict rec centre committee will be an exhibition baseball game scheduled for Monday, August 2. The featured attraction will be the California Cuties. These fine male athletes dress in women's clothing and put on a good show. The opposition will be provided by Exeter's own Cuties. McKinlay is keeping the Exeter Cuties lineup a secret for the time being. A second ball game is being lined up for the same night to provide a good doubleheader of baseball entertainment. Handicapped sports Having a physical handicap does not prevent a lot of athletes from around the world 'in enjoying and par- ticipating in their favourite sports. ' • Jim McKinlay told us about the Olympiad for the Disabled which is scheduled for Etobicoke beginning the week of August 4. There will be categories for the blind, amputees and paraplegic. Events for these handicapped people can be really in- teresting and exciting. McKinlay was a basketball referee in the recent Canadian Games for the Disabled in Cam- bridge. He said the co-ordination and skill of the entrants was amazing. He commented, "It was a heck of a game to referee with plenty of noise provided by 10 wheelchairs in operation at the same time. Each team should have had a mechanic to keep their players in the game." Start with Finnish The Phoenix Roadrunners of the World Hockey Association are heading to Europe for their training sessions for the 1976-77 hockey season. Al Rollins, former NHL goalie and director of player personnel for Phoenix has completed arrangements for training camp in Finland. The Roadrunners will hold training camp from September 10 to October 1 at Tampere, Finland, about two hours by bus from Helsinki. Rollins also arranged an eight game pre-season schedule against Finnish teams. Proceeds from the games will go to the Finnish Ice Hockey Federation which together with Finn-Air is un- derwriting the Roadrunners training camp expenses. The Phoenix club had two Finns on their roster last year. They were defenceman Pekka Rautakallio and right winger Lauri Mononen. Nice to have goons gone During the latest summer sessions of the National Hockey League five rule changes were made aimed at get- ting rid of the goon element from big'league hockey. The new rules are not only aimed at getting rid of violence but also in speeding up the game Major, and game misconduct penalties will go to a player who starts a fight whether instigator or aggressor and his intentions are deemed to be intimidating. A game misconduct will go to any player who physical- ly interferes with spectators. The first player to leave the team or penalty bench dur- ing an altercation will get a double minor penalty plus a game misconduct. In addition, the player's club will be fin- ed $1,000 for first such incident arid $3,000 for the second and $5,000 for the third or any subsequent incident. A fine of $50 will be levied for a boarding check which causes injury to a player's head or face. Also, the league president at his' discretion can review any incident during or in aftermath of game and assess ad- ditional fines or suspensions, The NHL rules committee failed to go along with a re- quest from the NHL Players Association to have fighting completely eliminated from the game. It was unanimously approved by league officials that all penalty bench areas• be partitioned off from spectators. It Was also recommended that player benches be closed off to eliminate fan interference and stick swinging. New faceoff rules were also passed as a means of speeding up the game. Referee-in-chief Scotty Morrison said, "We don't want any more time consumed jockeying for faceoffs. We'll be implementing new markings and of- ficials will be calling faceoff infractions more closely. The rules meeting also marked the first time in NHL history that three player representatives were invited to at- tend. They were Bobby Clarke of Philadelphia, Vancouver's Andre Boudrais and Bob Gainey of Montreal. Sports Spotlight By Ross Haugh
