Something to believe in A snowmobile must be designed, engineered and built to take the constant pounding of a bumpy, rough trail, or a hard, snow-packed lake. Snowmobiles must start in sub-zero temperatures where automobiles may fail. They must have a suspension system to.srpooth out the ruts and bumps. A snowmobile is required to produce less noise than most other motorized vehicles, and yet deliver enough power to scoot one or two persons across the snow at a reasonable and sate speed. Every refinement must add strength to the machine without increasing the weight beyond the limits of good flotation in deep snow. Many snowmobiles have an attractive outward appear- ance, but inside is where it really counts. Look under the hood, check the frame and chassis, examine the track, suspension and drive train...take a good look because... A start in go-kart racing in 1969 has led to a Dashwood youth be- ing named Sportsman of the Year by the Canadian Snow- mobiler and Cycle Sport. Brian Kipfer received the special honour Saturday night at the annual awards banquet of the Canadian Snowmobile Drag Rac- ing Association. In addition to the special award Brian also received four Lady curlers enjoy bazaar other trophies Saturday bringing the total of silverware to seven for his efforts this summer on the grass racing circuit. The Canadian championship series consisted of 16 races at three tracks. TheSe included Hul- ly Gully, Hillsburgh and Chatham. Brian finished first in the 340 modified stock and second in each of the 440 modified stock and 340 open modified. He was also first in the 340 modified stock at Chatham. At Hillsburgh the Dashwood racing enthusiast won the Wellington summer • cham- pionships. This summer's victories heralded a successful comeback for Brian who suffered serious shoulder and arm injuries in a snowmobile accident at Norwich on January 4 when his machine was completely demolished. Since his start into racing in 1969 Brian has won 17 trophies in go-karts and 16 with snow- mobiles. He is presently a member of the Port Franks rac- ing team. Members of the Exeter ladies curling club enjoyed their annual Christmas bazaar, Wednesday.

Retail $69.95 '5695 While most Canadians were very happy with the recent Canada Cup hockey series one man has been blasting the International competition. He is Clarence Campbell, president of the National Hockey League. A recent Hockey News headline read, "NHL president says Canada got the glory, but the Europeans took the money." Campbell continues, "No wonder the Europeans jumped at the chance to come over here for the Canada Cup. We pay their transportation, expenses, everything. Then they bleed us dry and also wind up with a lot of our money, It doesn't make any sense." Probably the reason it doesn't make any sense for Campbell is that the deal did not make enough "cents" for his NHL. Campbell continued to say, "the Canada Cup tourna- ment was a stupid way to raise money. We drain the com- munity by taking millions out of the pockets of people to pay overseas teams to come here and very little of that money ever finds its way back into hockey in North America." After expenses of the tourney were paid, 50 percent of the take went to the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association and Hockey Canada. The other 50 percent went to the pension funds of the NHL and WHA Players Association. The NHL group receiv- ed 29 shares and the WHA 2 according to the number of players from each league taking part. There was $464,000 in prize monies with $100,000 going to the top team. Alan Eagleson, the Toronto lawyer who handled organization of the international event had reported shortly after the series ended that the two week event had netted over two million dollars. He estimated costs at three million dollars to pay the teams for travelling expenses, meals, rink rental, training camps, insurance and prize money. The gross revenue was estimated at seven million in- cluding five million from exclusive television rights. Campbell commented further, "The incredible thing is that the NHL Players Association received $150,000 less from the Canada Cup than they did from our games last winter against the Soviet Union." The NHL president said European teams have dis- covered that international tournaments are losing propositions because of the expenses involved. Asked if he thought a low regard for the tournament was one reason the Soviet Union was represented by what was considered an inferior club, Campbell replied, "You said it, I didn't." Campbell also suggested that ticket prices for the tourney were excessive and the average fan watching on television got a real bargain. Despite the NHL president's apparent displeasure with the Canada Cup it was enjoyed greatly by 99 percent of Canadians. Maybe the next step for Campbell would be to assure NHL customers this type of hockey throughout the season. The brand now served up by his chattels is pretty mediocre compared to the Canada Cup. Last of season rally The final family car rally of the season is scheduled for this coming Sunday afternoon. One of the organizers of the rally Arn Mathers tells us a couple of changes have been made from the first two. The rally will run for about 50 miles but at no time will contestants be any farther than 15 miles from Exeter. Participants will not receive instructions for the second half of the run until they have completed the first. So, if anyone gets lost in the opening sector they can go back to the starting point and get straightened away. Rally contestants will leave the Exeter fairgrounds between 1 and 2 p.m. Sunday afternoon. The finish will be indoors for hamburgs and coffee. Registration is $5 per car, One b t of advice to those expecting to enter. Fill your gas tank before you start. Last time a couple of cars travell- ed more than three times the prescribed 53 mile course. Cullitons are flying The Stratford Cullitons are off to a flying start in OHA Junior 'IT league play. Coached by Jack Nairn the Cullitons remain undefeated with 17 victories and one tie the last time we peeked at the standings. Hockey to racing One of the kingpins of the Toronto Maple Leafs when they won five Stanley Cups in the 1950's is in training as a thoroughbred racing steward. He is Ted better known as "Teeder" Kennedy who was captain of the Toronto club for many years and was one of the first to make number 9 in the NHL famous. As a student steward, Kennedy will finish out the current race meet at Greenwood which ends the Canadian thoroughbred season December 14 and return next spring for the opening of Greenwood session and part of the Wood- bine meeting which follows. Kennedy resides in Toronto but since 1969 has owned a training and boarding school for thoroughbreds in St. Marys. His St. Marys facility has 38 stalls and an indoor quarter mile track for training horses in any kind of weather. Stewards supervise all aspects of racing, controlling the stable area in the mornings and the actual race cards in the afternoon. They have the power to impose fines or suspensions not only on jockeys but owners, trainers and other personnel and they make final decisions relating to claims of foul and inquiries in connection with the running of a race.
