BUT SMALL ENOUGH TO BE FRIENDLY • Page 8 Times-Advocate, July 22, 1976 Sports Spotlight By Ross Haugh Exciting action These next two weeks should be the most exciting times ever experienced by Canadians from one end of the land to the other, but some of the glory and glitter is being rubbed off. We are talking about the current Olympics in Montreal. The biggest problem is being caused by politics. At last count 25 countries have decided to take their athletes home. In our opinion that's the problem, the officials of the various countries are making the decisions. If it was left up to the competing athletes we are sure almost all of them would be happy to stay and take part. As one of our friends commented this week, "It would be a lot better if the politicians went home and left the athletes here," Despite all the quibbling, the Olympics are providing excellent entertainment on radio and television for those of us who are not fortunate enough to make the trip to Mon- treal. Numerous records are bound to be broken. In swim- ming trials held last week, some records were broken 14 times. The highlights of the Olympic TV presentations to date have to be the gymnastic performance by a Romanian girl and the Russian weight lifter. The Russian standing only five feet tall and weighing 114 pounds lifted 317 pounds. That's more than amazing. Anyone interested in Olympics should read the article in this week's issue written by Ron Bogart on his recent trip to Russia. Moscow is hosting the 1980 Olympics and Ron relates a lot of information on that event. Hockey still in the news Despite the warm summer weather hockey on all levels appears to stay in the limelight. On the national scene, the Canada Cup series coming up in September is getting oc- casional ink. Only two weeks ago, the Lucan-Ilderton Jets announced their coaching setup for the 1976-77 OHA Senior Continental season and this Saturday, members of the Exeter junior Hawks will be renewing acquaintances. The Hawks will be competing in a golf tournament at the Ironwood course Saturday afternoon and then heading to the Zurich area home of manager Fred Mommersteeg for a steak barbecue. Getting back to the L-I Jets, their coaching situation for the coming season should be well under control. Don Urbshott will be behind the bench after several years of running the team from his managerial position only. Knowing the popular Urbshott quite well, we know he will be more at home behind the bench directing traffic than his usual spot the last couple of years up in the stands tearing out his once-red hair. Urbshott and the Jets executive headed by president Harry Loyens made a good choice of assistant coaches in Pete Loveless and Bill Bourne. Bothl men have excellent temperaments for the position and a lot of playing experience and will allow the coaching staff to do a lot more specializing than a playing coach has been able to do in the past. In making the announcement of a non-playing coach, Urbshott and Loyens were quick to point out that they were satisfied with the job done in past years by a playing coach but felt it was not fair to one man to do double duty. We agree that a much better chore can be done by a non-playing coach. He can assess the situation on the ice at all times whereas a coach doubling.as a player should be resting when on the bench. May accept challenge Received a note this week from Dave Silcock saying he will consider the challenge from Sarnia to coach "one of the worst rugby teams". Silcock says, "I am both shocked and flattered that I should be asked to coach the game at all, especially when I consider rugby the most exciting and rigorous sport in the world." Dave went on to say, "I found the challenge from Sar- nia was quite legitimate although I must admit I thought it was some kind of joke at first," Although he does not have any rugby experience Silcock has a sound knowledge of the game having played in gram- mar school and watched hundreds of professional rugby league games in the north of England. At the same time Silcock reports that the Huron County all star soccer trialsl for mosquito level players proved to be a great success at Bayfield Saturday with 40 players from six teams in attendance. A total of 21 boys were selected and this number will be cut to 15 after further practices before the team's first com- petitive game in the opening round of the Michigan-Ontario Cup. In the first round, the Huron team will meet the Brothers of St. Louis at Lambton College in Sarnia, Monday evening July 26 at 7 p.m. Three cheers for the mayor A recent swimathon at the local pool raised $1,350 for the new recreation centre, One of the most enthusiastic competitors in the swimathon was mayor Bruce Shaw who completed 100 lengths of the pool. Rec director Jim McKinlay commented on the mayor's accomplishment, "Bruce really went a second mile for a good cause and I am sure we have the fittest mayor in the Lake Huron zone." McKinlay reports that booking problems at the tennis courts are being ironed out. Although the final tennis lessons will take place the week of August 9, it is expected the courts will remain open well into October or as long as the weatherman will permit. The rec director suggests that some of the persons who have already completed their beginner classes should take a look at intermediate lessons. Boost YOUR HOME TOWN It's Good For You t I The Dashwood Tigers dropped a 9-4 decision to the Clinton Colts Friday night in Dashwood in their only start of the week in the Huron-Perth intermediate baseball league. The Tigers will be on their home field Friday night at 8 p.m. when Kincardine will supply the opposition.

The Centennials were at- tacking well and were in the Strathroy zone much of the time. Exeter did manage to score a, goal from a corner kick. John Meuller headed the ball in smartly off of Al Hearn's kick to make the score 2-1 at the half. After half time it was Strathroy all the way as the Centennials seemed to tire and become less effective. Strathroy scored 3 goals in the final half to put the game away.
