The NFL was back in business and then of course, the final game of the World Series would follow. Resigning myself -to a full day's work. I made a huge bowl of popcorn and headed for the couch. Minutes into the first quarter of the Tampa Bay -Chicago game. i was faced with the first set -back of the day. One of the legs on my couch broke and 1 sagged down dangerously close to the floor. 1 dismissed the problem. making a mental note to use a smaller bowl for popcorn for the World Series. and continued with niy research- . When Buccaneers made it 20-0, something worse happened. \1' remote control refused to flick. There I was; stranded on a leaning -couch. completely flickless - and the Bears were losing. Well. not completely flickless. I've used a little poetic licence at this point to illustrate my feelings of helplessness. The remote control would mow up the list of channels but refused to come. down. Cruel irony- For the first time in weeks, the television was fill - ed with football and 1 was going ty have to watch just one game. The Bears -Buccaneers match took on an element of drama when Chicago quarterback Jim McMahon trotted onto the field in the second half of the game, after almost a year's absence. I watched his first series fitfully, afraid that his million dollar Sports Spotlight h\ \l:u 1.

Ile handed Chicago a 27-26 win on a plastic fast-food tray. I changed the direction of my research after the Chicago win, mulling over what I had seen on a more subconscious level. When I woke up, I addressed the subject of supper and then 'research' returned to my work: game seven of the World - Series. I wasn't particularly excited about that final game, or the en- tire series for that matter. i couldn't help thinkingabout the superior quality of the Jays -'Tigers conflict which eded at the beginning of this month. The epic battle of the 1987 baseball season played itself out that first weekend in October. After consuming Toronto, Detroit entered the Minnesota series with nothing left. Minnesota and the Cards just seemed to be trotting through that "gigantic game -nothing's more important -greatest feeling in the world" routine. The sportscasters were mercifully quiet during the initial celebrations on the field but once they got inside the club house, the same scene played itself out -- champagne covered players tell- ing us.we can't imagine what it's like unless we've actually been there. Thanks for the insight guys. ended my day of labour with a charitable thought. As 1 crawl- ed off my listing couch, stretched and headed off to bed, I thought of the line i would use to finish this column. "Aw, it wasn't nucha bad game." And with that profound state- :aent rattling around in my head, I drifted off. eAlM� . ;A:M2att'.t��'pa? k°cIItgaM'-fou g _, Exeter Peewees pick up .two ties, win Exeter Legion Peewees have manag- ed two ties and a win in their last three regular season Shamrock games.

There are now 35 students enrolled in the Exeter branch of the Tyndall school, and interest seems to be on the increase. Tyndall, a resident of Clin- ton, also has a class -- traditionally called a 'Dojo' -- in Ilomesville with 25 students on the roster. "I'm still kind of shocked at how it's going down there (in Exeter). There's more young kids getting into it," Tyn- dall says. explaining that Karate has received a lot of publicity on televi- sion and in the movies over the past few years. New students come into the Dojo with the wrong ideas about Karate because of the media attention, but if they last, they soon begin to unders- tand that the art is a defensive one and not an offensive one. Tyndall says people are attracted to Karate for various reasons. "I think the most obvious reason is self defence. Some join to get in shape, some join to lose weight. Then there are some who go in for the men- tal control." Mental control. That plays as pro- minent a part in the world of Karate as physical control. "i think a lot of people, when they first hear 'Karate', they think right away -- self defence, fighting. It's not. A lot of it dwells on the mental aspect," Tyndall explains. Karate is a way, of life. he con- tinues. it gives its students confidence in the real world and it gives children "something solid and concrete to• work on". The history. most of it ancient, is taught to the students, explaining where the art originated and how the masters trained. Ile stresses the fact that 'the knowledge' shared among thoee in the Dojo can never be used to start a fight or intimidate someone. if it is used in such a way, the guilty party is im- mediately thrown out of the group and cut off from the knowledge. "Usually those with that sort of at- titude, they don't last long anyway," Tyndall notes. "They don't want to pay the price." Philosophy important Exeter resident Kathy Hodgins has been in the Dojo for roughly one and a half years. She recently graduated from,a yellow belt +nto an orange belt. "i had a friend who was in it and i went with her for a couple of nights and it just sort of grew on me,." she explains. -"1 enjoyed -it so i stayed." Ilodgins enjoys both the philosophical and the physical aspects of Karate. She has found that it applies to every aspect of her life. "Once you start getting into the way of thinking, it becomes a way of !fie. You could say it becomes addic- tive. It's like a religion or something -- it's just something you do." A Grade 13 student at South !furor), she finds that Karatehelps her deal. with teachers, other students and frustrating situations. "ln stuff like school, it seems to have made me more tolerant, more patient," she adds. "You get more tolerant of people -- you learn that they have a right to believe in what they want." She finds that the physical aspect of the art heightens her Thought processes. "Even working out -- it tends to make you think a lot clearer. 11 gets rid of all the had stuff in your body." Ilodgins noted the relationship bet- ween the knowledge and the technical skill of . Karate. She says they are taught that the art begins and ends with defence and that nothing should be done out of anger. "If someone knows the moves without knowing the philosophy, it's going to become dangerous." Bruce Hendersonis a 26 -year-old black belt student of Tyndall. He became involved in Karate seven• • years ago mainly for the physical ad- vantages it offers. "It's a great way to get in shape -- one of the best 1 would say. It involves your everyday life. You do it every day," he says. "You apply it to everything you do every day. You keep yourself motivated." Henderson says that it takes roughly five years to establish an im- pressive Dojo, adding that the Exeter club is doing extremely well for its se- cond year. Dan Bell, a green belt With the Do- jo. was also motivated by the physical aspects of the sport. Like the others. Bell finds that Karate encompasses his entire life. "You learn to work out your frustrations; you learn to control your emotions," he says, noting that his training helps him cope with pressure. Ile stresses attitude more than anything else. "We don't want guys that come in- to the Dojo who want to learn to fight really well but don't want to learn the philosophy tlehind it. You've got to have the mental knowledge," he says. "You have to want to do it; you have •-to want to enjoy it. You do everything at 50 percent and you're only going to get 50 percent out of it." "1t just makes you an over-all bet- ter person. it gives you a better at- titude in life. You show gratitude and respect to other people." The Tyndall Karate school holds classes Tuesday and Thursday nights at the South Huron Rec Centre or the high school. Children's memberships cost $130 per year. There is a student rate of $175 per year and the adult rate is $220 per year. For more infor- mation, call 482-3634.
