Dave "Tufty" Knight, the hardnosed, southern athletic director of Wilfrid Laurier University was master of ceremonies for the program. His barbed tongue and acid com- ments kept the pace of the evening lively and kept the other athletes on their toes. Only Peter Dalla Riva, tight end for the Montreal Allouettes, got back at Knight, calling him "Stuffy." National League baseball umpire Tom Gorman was the Head speaker of the evening. Gorman, who has "never seen so much snow in my life" en- tertained with a speech built around his 26 year career as an umpire. His speech was liberally sprinkled with names of baseball greats, from managers to players to league officials. He maintains that once you make a call, "let 'em suffer" and, in umpire tradition, he has never made a mistake. Over his career, which has included five World Series, in- cluding the perfect game pitched by Don Larsen in 1956, and five Allstar games, he has had his share of run-ins with managers Ted "Teeder" Kennedy has played and seen a lot of hockey in his time, and the retired Maple Leaf, who now works with horses in St. Marys, thinks that the 1951 Stanley Cup team that he was a member of could beat the Philadelphia Flyers. Kennedy, who appeared at the Sportsmen's dinner Tuesday night, feels that hockey has suffered from expansion. "Older guys say its not as good, 'but, young people who like it should boost it." Kennedy signed with the Leafs in 1943 for a $2000 bonus and a $3500 contract, a far cry from present contracts. He was a member of the 1945 Stanley Cup winning team and again in 1951, a team that he called "great" and feels would match any team today. He did not underestimate the Flyers though, who he said would be "a threat" in any series Steer This Way BY LARRY SNIDER It IS important to change your tar's oil at specified intervals. The alternative may be loss of power due to sticking piston rings. Heavy-duty shock absorbers are often recommended because They provide better ride control at highway speeds. Rocking a car to get out of snow, mud or sand? Pause every five minutes to let the transmission cool. Radial tires are preferred by more drivers. Seventy-five per- cent of new cars next year are expected to have them. IS your car in good shape? An out-of-tune engine can cut Mileage as much as 25 per- cent.

Lorry Snider MOTORS LIMITED EXETER 21.5-1640 LONDON 227.4191 Huron County's Largest Ford Dealer upset over his calls. Each manager had their own way of expressing displeasure, from Casey Stengel, who would pace around the umpire not saying anything, to Leo Durocher and Gene Mauch, who Gorman felt were two of the most volatile, Gorman then got serious in his speech, talking, of threats on the life of umpire Larry Bedette, who made the controversial call in the sixth game of the World Series this year. Bedette had to have FBI protection for a full month after the series ended. You're what we play for, what we give our best for" Gorman said, adding that the purpose of the game is to get people's "troubles off their minds. We're playing for sports .fans without fans we don't have a job," He closed to a cheer when he said that he spoke to league of- ficials early this week before he left, and it is almost definite the major league baseball will come to Toronto. Each member of the head table acknowledged the cause that they had come out to support, Milt Morin Cleveland Brown veteran, said that even though crippled children have obvious disad- vantages, they have many ad- vantages that others should try to emulate. One of the highlights of the evening was the appearance of Toronto Maple Leaf great Ted "Teeder" Kennedy who now works with horses in the St. Marys area. Kennedy suggested that there are now a lot of hockey players in the NHL who wouldn't be there if there were only six teams playing and no WHA, "because of the system they have," Two opponents who stand out in his mind are Gordie Howe and Maurice "Rocket" Richard. The two players each had their own style. Howe "carried the mail" he said, in reference to his ability to make his own op- portunities. Richard on the other hand, was an opportunist, and not so strong between _the-bluelines, but wasp nearly unstoppable once he passed the blueline. Kennedy added that Phil Esposito, although a strong player, could not measure up to either, in that Esposito is strong only in front of the net. Calling him a "payoff man" he added that the best hockey Esposito played was during the 1972 Canada Russia series. He also credited the Lions for giving him his start in hockey. In his hometown the Lions spon- sored minor hockey, and he has always had a "special place in my heart for the Lions." Vern Route, rookie Detroit Lion pitcher, turned at the end of his speech and said "this is what its all about" as he pointed to the banner across the back of the hall which read "Support Crippled Children" In one moment he summed up the situation by saying "with your help he (Mike Gander, London's "Timmy") can make it a long way in the world. Jim McKenney ad libbed through his four minute speech, throwing out one liners throughout. When he spoke of violence in hockey he said that he plays "Better" when I'm scared." The Olympics was another popular topic amongst the guests and there were at least four sides to it. Dalla Riva said that he doubts the facilities will be ready, particularly if there is another work stoppage. This raised the ire of Geris, who has competed in the last two Olympics and will compete in Montreal, who said the facilities will be ready and that they will be held in Montreal. Red Curran and Kim Kirten both Olympic contenders, presented opposite sides of the spectrum. Curran who led the Tillsonburg Livingstones to the Canadian basketball championship in 1952, and later in the Olympics, felt that the Olympics has become a "political issue," He said it is an honor to represent your country, though the games have been over commercialized. Miss Kirten, the 14 year old equestrian, was on the other side of the fence. She is training in hopes of competing in the 1980 Olympics. But in the end, what can you say about 16 sports people who stood up and told jokes? You can say that they were all great people and great athletes. Like pitcher Steve Rogers and Dalla Riva, who spent 11 hours in the Montreal airport yesterday trying to get to London, and then Exeter. Or Glen Weir, of the Allouettes who has been at all three dinners sponsored by the Lions, just because he likes being there. Or how many of the celebrities turn their fee back to the Lions. Or how the Ladies Auxiliary put on a fine meal that received plaudits from everyone on the dais. And how 235 people got every penny worth of their $25 and helped people like Mike Gander, who was the 'most distinguished guest there. '51 Leafs would beat today's Flyers
