Kept busy were leaders Liz Deichert, Marion Adams, Tracy Campbell, Elaine Overholt and hostess-supervisor Laura Johns, who drew a sigh of relief when senior and intermediate groups were loaded into cars for the return trip to playground on Friday around noon. Instead of visiting the Senior groups at their camp-out last week, the Juniors had a picnic at Riverview, Park and joined the campers Friday afternoon to watch a variety show presented by Art Vermaeten, Frank Ver- maeten, Dave Bell and Shawn WraightThe show was enjoyed by all and was a relaxing afternoon for a lot of tired people. This is Drama Week with all involved in' skits and dress-up activities. Friday is the highlight of the week, featuring a bus trip, to the Grand Bend Zoo. Next week is Carnival Week and Friday, August 13 will be our annual penny carnival. Fords get even break in Goderich tournament The Exeter FOrds competed in a pee wee soccer tournament in Goderich Saturday and returned with an even split in two games played. The first match'was against the eventual tournament champs from Seaforth who built up a 2-0 lead at halftime. The second half saw the Fords hold their opposition scoreless but they were unable to get the ball past the Seaforth goalie. After each game the referee chose the most valuable player and the most gentlemanly member of each club. Doug Hoffman and Jack Smits were the Exeter nominations. In the second contest for the locals, they scored a 2-0 victory over Clinton. The Exeter goal scorers were Doug Hoffman and Wayne Parsons. Hoffman persisted throughout the game in thanking the referee for his various calls and was named the most gentlemanly player on the Exeter club. The player of the game was Richard Helm who showed much improved form since the Seaforth encounter. The Exeter Fords are in second place in the Huron Minor league standings behind front running Seaforth.

BUT SMALL ENOUGH TO BE FRIENDLY Kickoff will be at 4:30 p.m, In Sunday's contest, Sarnia opened strongly, pinning Huron on the defensive for the first 10 minutes of play. Huron gradually settled down, and the youngest player on the field, 10-year old Sean Van Dongen, scored a couple of well taken goals to give his team a2-0 lead at half-time. After the interval; Sarnia found themselves outplayed by a Huron team that appeared to play stronger and stronger as the game progressed. Dave Murray, Brian ,Forbes, Dave Elliott, and Brian Tompkins, all added'single second-half goals without reply for Huron, who fully deserved their 6-0 victory. Left-back John Hicknell was outstanding in the Huron defence, and Paul Stephenson recorded shutout number two. lc Yamaha AVAILABLE AT OUNTRY CORNE MT. CARMEL — 237-3456 OPEN TILL 10 P.M. Page 10 Times-Advocate, August 5, 1976 Sports Spotlight By Ross Haugh Add wool "Hitting the old horsehide", may soon be an outdated baseball slang. If baseball manufacturers in Japan are successful with the basis for a new baseball the saying could be changed to "whacking the old wool." The new baseball going the rounds of professional leagues in Japan consists of simulated leather covered with cotton lining inside of which is a rubber and cork core sur- rounded by three and a half ounces of wool. This construction offers two major advantages, First, the wool's resiliency enables the ball to return to its original shape no matter how hard it is hit and secondly the new ball is expected to outlast two conventional ones. The new composition of the ball is also expected to give it a little more distance when hit. In addition to this Oriental proposal, Charlie Finley of the Oakland Athletics has suggested another move to give the batters more chance against the pitchers who at the mo- ment seem to hold the upper hand. Finley says a walk will be issued to a batter after the pitcher throws three pitches which miss the strike zone in- stead of the four now in use. If this regulation goes into effect, big league pitchers will really have to sharpen up their control. Three balls for a free ticket would be quite a change from the late 1880's when nine balls constituted a walk. A good spot to visit With the Canadian National Exhibition in 'Toronto com- ing up very shortly we should mention the Hockey Hall of 'Fame which is located on the CNE grounds. 'Our last visit to the hockey building was some six or seven years ago and we are sure many interesting additions have been made since. This year in addition to Stanley Cup films, the CAHAH will be providing films and information on their national referees and coaching certification programs. Interesting Hockey dictionary The latest issue of the Coaches and Referees Corner published by the Ontario Hockey Association contained an article on the 1976 version of a hockey dictionary which was clipped from an American newspaper. The comments in the OHA bulletin following the dic- tionary presentation were, "We don't` feel that this ac- curately reflects the Ontario hockey scene thanks to the great efforts of all the associations in the province. However, if this is how American viewers perceive the game, we really have to stay on our toes and continue to•im- prove the atmosphere of the game."

Boost YOUR HOME TOWN rgr It's Good For You Wild West is theme for local playground program Wild West was the theme for last week's playground activities, Designing and setting up tepees and playing games such as cowboys and indians kept everyone busy. The Senior group planned the annual camp-out for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Due to a forecast of rain Laura Johns invited them to set up their tents on the lawn of her parents' home. The weatherman's prediction came true and the sleep-out was rained out and all were glad to be cosy and dry for two nights in the recreation room of the home of Howard and Marion Johns. Outwitting the weatherman further, two picnic tables were set up in the garage and camp meals were prepared on camp stoves instead of bonfires.. The Intermediate group joined the Seniors on Thursday af- ternoon and the 'leaders thank two mothers, Mrs. Vermaeten and Mrs. DeBoer, who helped with the transportation problems. After a hearty supper 'and an evening of activities a hot dog and marshmallow roast were enjoyed before the happy groups turned in for the night. Some slept in tents and others indoors but all were ready at the ARM WRESTLING CHAMPION — Dennis Lamport of Crediton won the overall championship in Saturday's arm wrestling event at Dashwood's Friedsburg Days, Above, Murray Parke, last year's winner presents the trophy to Lamport.
