Doug Riseborough says Team Canada chances good The chances of Team Canada in the upcoming international hockey series are very good ac- cording to one fellow who is fair- ly close to the professional hockey scene. Doug Riseborough of the Mon- treal Canadiens currently. Atten- ding the Huron Hockey School at Huron Park feels the Canadian team will at least make the final round which pits the two top clubs after the round robins series. Riseborough commented, "Mr. Pollock is a very intelligent hockey man and knows what it takes to win. Our chances are ex- cellent." The Montreal performer thinks the present Canadian plans to play forward lines or two-thirds at least from the same team is a good idea. Riseborough continued, "We have learned from previous games with the Russians what we have to do to win. All the players are eager and ready. We should have no excuses this time." On the subject of the four coaches for the Canada team Riseborough said, "This gives the coaching staff a chance to cover every individual aspect of the game completely." About the Huron hockey school Riseborough said it was the only one for professional hockey players as far as he knew and felt it was very worthwhile. He add- ed, "The facilities here are ex- cellent and the staff has a good attitude." He continued, "They concen- trate on conditioning which is a big thing for me. The video screen is also very helpful. Someone can tell you what's been done wrong but it's different when you can see for youself." "They can't change playing techniques in two weeks but their methods of determining what improvements can be made are great," Riseborough added. The chief instructors at the Huron Hockey School are Bill Mahoney from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ron Mason, head hockey coach at Bowling Green University in Ohio and Brian Gilmour from Cornwall. Also attending the school for this week and next from the Mon- treal Canadiens is Mario Tremblay. From their farm club the Nova Scotia Voyageurs are Pierre Mondou, Gord McTavish and Gilles Lupien. Top Chicago Black Hawk prospect Bob Murray is in atten- dance along with Alex McKendry of the New York Islanders. Gilles Bilodeau of the now Crediton takes WOAA The Crediton bantams won the Western Ontario Athletic Association championship this week as the result of two straight victories over Kincardine by scores of 8-3 and 11-10. The first provincial opposition for the Crediton club has not been determined but play is ex- pected to begin this weekend. Sunday's 11-10 Crediton victory came in the tenth inning in Kin- cardine with a two run outburst. The home team came back with one run in their half of the last in- ning but could not come up with the equalizer. Ralph Wells singled with one out in the Crediton tenth and scored on a double from the bat of Dave Atthill who came around to plate the winning run on singles from the bats of Andy Nedza and Tom Dinney. In a see-saw game from start to finish each team scored three times in the ninth to force the ex- tra inning. Ralph Wells and Steve Pearce blasted triples for the big Crediton hits. Singles were add- ed by Joe Becker, Dave Bogart, Dave Atthill and Brian Mercer. Brian Rader and Dave Bogart singled and scored in the Crediton fifth. Dave Atthill and Tom Dinney scored for Crediton in the second frame and their first marker came in the opening inning when Brian Rader walked and scored on single by Ralph Wells. Steve Pearce was the winning pitcher for Crediton going the distance. He struck out 13 op- posing batters. In Crediton Friday night, Kin- cardine scored their only three runs in the first inning. The home team tied the score with one run in each of the first and second in- nings. Four runs in the fifth inning broke the game wide open and the winners added two more in- surance runs in the sixth. In the Crediton first, Joe Becker doubled and came home on a single from the bat of Ralph Wells, The third inning score came as Becker again singled and scored on Dave Bogart's single. Five straight singles with two out in the Crediton fifth produced four runs. The singles were delivered by Brian Rader, Dave Bogart, Ralph Wells, Steve Pearce and Dave Atthill, Singles by Andy Nedza, Joe Becker and Dave Bogart sent the final two Crediton runners across the plate in the sixth. Brian Rader was on the Crediton mound and he kept the visitors scoreless and down to four hits after they scored three times in the first inning.

Times-Advocate, August 26, 1 976 Royals capture first game over Irish in ball playoffs The Exeter Royals have taken a one game lead over the Lucan Irish in the first round of play- offs in the Southwestern Fast- ball Association. The Royals scored a 7-4 victory in Lucan, Tuesday night. The second game of the series will be back m Lucan tonight, Thurs- day, with the third and fourth contests in Exeter Sunday and Tuesday nights. All games will get underway at 9p.m. Lucan opened the scoring Tues- day in the bottom of the third inning as Rusty Smith led off with a single. He stole second and scored as Gerry Duskocy singled. The Royals tied the score in the top of the sixth as Jack Glover received a walk and scored on Doug Pearson's triple with two out.

Time is really slipping by and by the time this issue hits the street, the annual Midwestern Rodeo in Exeter is only about nine days away. Rodeo directors have lined up an excellent program for the two day event which will be held on Saturday and Sun- day of the Labour Day weekend, September 4 and 5. A big added attraction this year will be chuckwagon races scheduled for both afternoons. Some lively comedy will be added to the Sunday afternoon show when Tom Kelly and Peter Garland of CKSL in London will be competing. Their type of participation has not yet been decided but it will be sure to tickle the funnybones of all spectators. Publicity chairman Ned Ryan and other rodeo directors have done a fine job of advertising the rodeo this year. We spent two days last week holidaying in the Bruce Peninsula area and saw a poster advertising the Exeter rodeo on the front of the information booth at Wiarton. The rodeo events this year should be bigger and better than ever. Through efforts of director Bill Smith, area farm machinery and related businesses have made available ad- ditional prize monies and buckles and trophies. The ladies barrel racing should draw a lot of interest and probably a record number of entries. At a recent meeting, Barry Mousseau said he thought the barrel races for females should make this the largest event at any rodeo in Ontario this year. Mousseau should know what he is talking about as he has been the top cowboy in Ontario for the past three years. Another highlight of the rodeo this year will be the dance to be held on the Friday night at the recreation centre at Huron Park. The larger facility at Huron Park will allow more per- sons to enjoy the music of two topnotch bands. The dance is being sponsored by the Exeter Lions but all proceeds of the rodeo and dance are being channeled to the recreation cen- tre fund raising campaign. Playoffs underway Baseball playoffs are in full swing this week throughout the province of Ontario and a number of area teams are participating. The Dashwood Tigers will be in .action Friday night on their home field at 8:15 when Tillsonburg will supply the op- position. It's the first game in a best-of-three series in the OBA "B" playdowns. How Dashwood with a population of about 400 rates to make the "B" classification is very difficult to determine. While not sure of the Tillsonburg population it could be close to 10,000. Apparently the OBA does not use population figures any more to determine in which grouping a team competes but bases their decision on the ability of the teams in question. The Clinton Colts who disposed of the Tigers quite quickly in the Huron-Perth playoffs are listed as a "C" club and the Zurich Mets who failed to win any league games during the year will represent the Huron-Perth in the "D" category. At the moment three Crediton minor clubs are. still in contention for OBA championships. They are the bantams, juveniles and juniors. The juvenile team coached by Don Finkbeiner and Russ Clarke appears to have the best chance to bring home provincial honours. The Crediton juveniles have an excellent pitching staff which includes Paul Brooks, Larry Clarke and Doug Mclsaac. In the final WOAA playoff game against Wingham, Paul Brooks pitched a no-hitter and recorded 20 strikeouts. The bantam team also won a WOAA championship and are awaiting their first provincial opposition. This team of boys aged 14 years and under is coached by Harold Borden. The junior club under the guidance of Joe Fulop and Dan Haugh was soundly drubbed by Clinton in local playoffs but will be continuing in the OBA. Minor coaching More than 50 minor hockey coaches from all across On- tario will be at the University of Waterloo, this week for a higher level coaching seminar. The seminar which is Level 4 of the C.A.H.A. National Coaches Certification program, will feature 40 hours of classroom lectures, film, slides, and videotape, plus ice sessions, Featured instructors will be Dave Chambers, coach of York University; Billy Harris, former Toronto Toro Coach; Ted Power, coach of London Kings Senior A; Ron Smith, Technical Director (OHA), and many others. The participating coaches will receive instruction and take part in discussions in philosophy, skills, conditioning, teamplay, and other areas. A racing winner A Musical Formal, owned by Brian Smillie of Huron Racing Stables was a big winner at the Fort Erie thoroughbred racing track Friday afternoon. With Robin Platts in the saddle, A Musical Formal came through in the stretch to win by more than a length and paid off at odds of more than 15 to one. It was the se- cond victory in recent weeks. Pros at hockey school Close to 20 professional hockey players are attending the Huron Hockey School at Huron Park this week. Included are two regulars from the Montreal Canadiens. They are Doug Riseborough and Mario Tremblay. During a short interview Riseborough said he thought the chances of Team Canada in the upcoming international series were excellent. His one comment was, "If we don't win this time, we have no excuses". The pros at Huron Park will be participating in an intra-squad game tonight, Thursday at the Huron Park arena at 8 p.m, Boost YOUR HOME TOWN It's Good For You transferred Toronto Toros. Jim Troy of the New England Whalers, Jim Koleff of Chicago and Ray Baumgaerten of the Maple Leafs organization.
