Neilson should add a lot of colour to the Leaf organiza- tion. While he will probably be a bit more subdued in the pro ranks than he was with amateur teams in both baseball and hockey he will no doubt come up with an odd prank or two, In a recent issue of the Toronto Star, Jim Proudfoot suggests that Neilson's mind could be as keen as that of former fight manager Doc Kearns. Archie Moore once described Kearns as "so smart you could give him a box of steel wool and he would knit you a stove." Proudfoot goes on to say that the new Leaf coach is responsible for two changes in the OHA rule book. These were listed as a stipulation that only a goalie can defend against a penalty shot and a penalty shot is to be im- posed when a team has too many players on the ice when they are already two men short and an extra penalty cannot be served. While Neilson may be credited with the change regar- ding the penalty shot we believe that the Exeter Minor Hockey Association and indirectly Bob Zimmer of the Mitchell Hawks are just as responsible for the second rule change. Our memory goes back to an OHA Junior "D" playoff game of possibly seven or eight years ago when the Mitchell and Exeter Hawks were involved. Zimmer, the coach of the Mitchell team deliberately put an extra player on the ice when his club was already two men short in the dying minutes. To say that confusion reigned supreme would be a justifiable statement, but the rule at that time did not im- pose any further penalty. At the next annual meeting of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association, the rule was changed and now a penal- ty shot is imposed under those conditions. The change in the penalty shot rule which now says a goal tender must be in the nets came about because of a move by Neilson in a game between his Peterborough Petes and the Toronto Marlboros. When diminutive Tom Martin of the Toronto team was ready to take a penalty shot, Neilson replaced his goalie with mammoth defenceman Ron Stockhouse. With Stockhoilse out in front, Martin couldn't even see the net and failed to get a shot away. Another Star sportswriter Stan Lomax says Neilson has more tricks than Houdini. He continues, "I think I saw Roger's greatest stunt. It was in the ninth inning of a playoff game for the junior baseball team he was coaching in Leaside. His team was one run ahead in the ninth but the other team had the tying run on third with two out. Apparently Roger had been sitting on the bench peeling an apple. He called time, huddled with the catcher and gave the kid the peeled apple. On the next pitch, the runner had a bit of a lead. The catcher threw the apple over the third baseman's head. Naturally, it looked like the ball so the runner headed for home. When he got there, the catcher was waiting with the real ball to make the tag. I guess, the left fielder ate the ap- ple because it was never found. Neilson also used to have a dog that would retrieve baseballs. Sometime, when things got a bit tough, the dog would somehow escape, dash onto the field and make off with the ball. While Neilson is now 42 years of age and probably a bit more mature since his baseball days in Toronto, he can be expected to keep things exciting at Maple Leaf Gardens. His coaching techniques are tried and proven. He tutored Leaf reserves in the minors at Dallas last winter and it s0011 became obvious that he would make the NHL in a short 'while. Players he sent back to the Leafs, notably Randy Carlyle had been made into big leaguers. They bear the same stamp of excellence as graduates from the Peter- borough juniors such as Rick MacLeish, Craig Ramsay and Bob Gainey. New Trotting Record Veteran Lucan Horseman Neil McFtann came close to his first two minute mile at Mohawk Raceway Wednesday night his Dart Camp set the track record for trotters. McRann steered Dart Camp to a half length victory over Dapper Dillon in only a fifth of a second over the two minute mark. A week earlier Dapper Dillon had lowered the Mohawk trotting mark to four-fifths of a second above two minutes. The win for Dart Camp sent his earnings for 1977 to more than $55,000 and his lifetime winnings to close to $200,- 000. The trotter was bred and is owned and trained by McRann. While talking about harness horses, two area drivers have moved farther afield for the balance of the summer. Jack Darling of Exeter who was the leading driver at the winter meet at Western Fair Raceway will be par- ticipating at the Batavia Downs track, near Buffalo. and Crediton driver Jim Wallace is now campaigning at Sud-
