. Kwngette rule changes
Two important eh. es have been made in the game of
ringette which is becoming ttilite popular for youngsters, most of
which are girls.
Ringette is snow in about its fifth year for ares girls at the South
Duron Rec Centre and the Stephen township arena at HuronPal►rk:
Probably the biggest change comes in the addition of a IinLt -
across the top of the free pass faceoff circles to allow defencemen
to be involved in play in the offensive zone. Formerly they were
allowed only up to the opponents blueline.
This will undoubtedly make ringette more interesting and ex-
citing game to watch, although the skating and team play skills
involved have always been big attention getters. Defenders will
now be able to become more involved in the play, set up scoring
plays and shoot on the net thus increasing participation and fitness
levels in the game.
Other considerations which were rejected were leaving the
game as it was and totally opening up the zones. But, extended
zone was the favorite. Hundreds of players were consulted on the
changes as well as coaches, officials, spectators and ad-
ministrators. The decision marks the end of over two years of
experimentation.
Almost equally important was a change in the age groups and
names. They are Senior 30 and over; Intermediate 22 and over;
Deb 18 and over; Belle 17 and under; Junior Belle 15 and under;
Tween 13 and under; Petite 11 and under; Novice, nine and under
and Bunnies seven and under.
Also adopted was policy to allow integrated participation
females and males up to the Petite age category, encouraging
separate leagues after that age.

It's not just watching a baseball game, it's much more to the
kids. It's the experience of travelling, possibly for the first, time,
making new friends, being entertained by clowns and eating hot
dogs. Seeing a child's smile makes it all worthwhile.

Trivia time
Here *are the answers to last week's trivia questions:
The only players to hit three home runs in one World Series
games were Babe Ruth and Reggie Jackson. They were both at
the age of 31 when they achieved their record breaking feats.
The three sporting events in which one must go backwards in
order to win are rowing, backstroke in swimming and tug-of-war.
Pete Rose is the major leaguer to reach first base the most
times on hits, walks or hit batsman. His mark at the beginning of
this season was over 5,300.
This week's questions are:
Who holds the American league record for the most intentional
walks during his career?
Who is the only non -player to have a number retired by a ma-
jor league baseball club?
.Who is the only NHL player to'score 50 goals in five different
seasons.

Porter purchased Quite a Sensation
for $5,500 as a weanling from the
Shadowland Farms consignment at
the Ontario Blooded Horse Sale at
Flamboro Downs in 1983.

But I guess it's all worked out in the
long run," he said.
The victory gives Quite a Sensation
an 8-0-3 standing in 16 starts this year
and $324,330 in purse winnings. Last
year in a brief campaign of 11 races
in which the colt never finished off the
board and set a world record for a
two-year-old gelding, the colt banked
$27,700. -
"You know it was quite a thing for
us to make the payments for this sort
of race because this comes right out
of our pocket. It's not a simple thing
for us like it is for someone like
