YAMAHA . . . 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

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.
In the first draw Wyn Mar-
shall's rink was the top two game
winner and two game low
honours went to Audrey
McDonald and her foursome. One
game high winner was Helen
Burton and her rink.
Norma Coleman's rink topped
the second draw with a two game
high, Edna Busche's crew were
the best two game low and one
game high laurels went to Janie
McDowell.

Stalling is often caused by a
sticking or over-rich choke;
other common causes are car-
buretor dirt, faulty idle adjust-
ment, and incorrect float level.
Let an expert decide.
New York State has come up
with a new weapon against
dangerous drivers. Those guil-
ty of serious violations will be
charged extra when they
renew their licenses. It's to pay
for the remedial driving
programs they necessitate.
Interviewing new car owners,
the Newspaper Advertising
Bureau discovered that 68 per-
cent owned two or more cars;
21 percent owned three or
more. Possible conclusion: cars
are being bought for in-
dividual's needs, not the whole
family's.

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.
