Groove your swing for more strikes Regardless of your bowling ef- ficiency, and whether or not you are bowling for fun or in serious competition, you are interested in increasing the number of strikes you get. The strike is the home run of bowling—the big thrill and the way you can increase your average. TheSports and,'itness Instruc- tor, in a December issue story, says many bowlers cannot under- stand why they rgil so hot and cold, bowling well a game or in one session and then losing their touch in the next. The basic structure on which consistent bowling depends is a smooth, well -grooved delivery. Film studies indicate that where- as the top bowlers consistently use a delivery which is precisely the same each time they bowl, the average bowler varies„ cer- tain elements for his delivery. and, accordingly, is inconsistent. Develop Delivery The first objective, if you wish to improve your bowling and sub- sequently increase • the strikes you make or your ability, to get that extra pin, is t4 develop a well -grooved delivery technique. Bring your arm back •to the same height on the backswing EVERYTIME. For most bowlers the ball should be brought back to a position where the arm is paral- lel with the floor. When the arm comes down it should be directly under your shoulder in a straight line. If there is any deviation from this straight line delivery position— even a couple of inches—it will affect the consistency of your re- lease point. Steady Head The shoulders should be square to the pins and the head should not be allowed to move from side to side. In other words, your deli- very position should be complete- ly standardized. Many bowlers let, their shoulders dip to one side or the other. It is often difficult to evaluate your delivery by yourself and in this case the answer is to get a friend to check it out until you get the habit of standardizing your delivery. Perhaps you can even get someone to take some film so you can study yourself in action, If you wish to get more fun and efficiency out of your bowling sessions, start now to standardize your delivery. QUITE COLD Canada's lowest official tem- perature was 81 degrees below zero, recorded at Shag in the Yukon Territory in February, 1947. WINTER TRAILS—Snowshoeing enthusiasts cross an ice bridge at Apps' Mill Conserva- fion Area near Paris. Snowshoeing, hiking and cross-country skiing are rapidly taking a prominent role in winter use of Grand River Conservation Authority areas. Cross-country skiing booming in Ontorio A boon for fitness, fun and fi- nances, cross-country skiing is enjoying a major revival in On- tario. Once the only form of skiing there, was, , its enthusiasts in .in- creasing numbers are striking out across country on inexpen- sive wooden skis, wearing flexi- ble, soccer -type boots, to trek or race for as many as 30 to 50 miles a day: For the novice, the enticements are many. The first is the price tag. A cross-country skier can coml5letely outfit himself for about $60 and there are now stores which sell cross-country gear exclusively: Because the cross-country en -w thtisiast can travel at his own pace, the sport is one that can be enjoyed at .any age. One particu- lar. Canadian marathon actually drew entrants from six to 96. '''N'be '40 '1%4 '§ el1d wLelit taking lessons. "Anybody who can walk can' ski cross-country," says a coach who organizes pro- grams of ski -touring. The begin- ner need only master the easy, relaxed glide of the crosscountry movement before heading out into the bush. Snowmobiling in provincial parks As in the summer season, win- ter park visitors are expected to abide by rules laid down in the in- terests of safety and preservation of the park environment. The operation of snowmobiles is prohibited in some parks but is permitted in 'specified areas in many others. These restrictions are necessary to protect wildlife and waterfowl habitats, develop- ed nature trails, extensive tree and shrub plantings and desig- nated primitive, natural and his- toric zones within parks. Snowmobiling is temporarily restricted in any park when the snow depth is less than six inches. Here is a summary of where you may snowmobile in parks in 1972- 73 but only on' designated areas on marked trails: Pinery, Ron- deau, Earl Rowe, Sibbald, Bal- sam Lake, Presqu'ile, Outlet Beach, Bon Echo, Arrowhead, Mark S. Burnham, Kakabeka, Cyprus Lake and Killarney. A \t, • P .n Cross-country skiing is just what the name implies. You sim- ply take off over flat and sloped terrain at your leisure, enjoying nature as you go. It can be a family picnic outing, too, winter -style. Says a recent rec> uit • to the cross-country boom: "You can take a barbe- cued chicken, a thermos jug, lay out a tarpaulin and' you're in business." • And racing can be as strenuous as any sport: Lloyd Percival of Toronto's Fitness Institute esti- mates that a cross-country racer requires more oxygen intake than any other kind of competi- tor. In Ontario, cross-country trails have. been "developed- in ,some of the most picturesque skiing areas, including about 90 com- mercial establishments and 1001' winter parks ,throughout every' region of the .,province. Most of; these are easily accessible. A special new facility for cross country skiers has been develop-; ed by Formosa Spring Brewery in conjunction with.the Canadian . Ski Association at the company's 90 -acre conservation and recrea- tion area adjoining its plant on Snowmeiles getting safer The Ontario Safety League says there are encouraging indi- cations that snowmobilers are realizing the potential hazards of these fun -machines. During 1968- 69 Ontario snowmobile season when less than 100,000 machines were in use, there were 30 fatal accidents. Three years later, in 1971-72, when nearly 250,000 snowmobiles were in operation in Ontario, the same total was re- ported.

Hotidogging new ski thing In the world of skiing there are many weird and wonderful things happening. One of these is hot- dogging says Lorne McPadgen, ski school director at Talisman. As opposed to what .we nor- mally consider competition or ski . racing, hot-dogging would be termed free skiing, In a nutshell, it cofsi<e'7of •,perform' have now become a USW estab lished tricks such as flips, gain- ers, daffeys, outriggers, shoulder rolls, side flips, side kick, tip rolls, helicopter jumps and the like. In other words, doing any- thing humanly possible while on, skis. Hot Dog Camps This type of skiing is becoming sopopular, says McFadgen, es- pecially with younger skiers, that in addition to the regular run of race camps, hot-dogging camps started to spring up last summer. In North America, particularly in the United States, there is now a series of national competitions with large cash prizes. These competitions are broken into categories. The ballet or dance - type skiing, where the skier per- forms graceful manoeuvres. The free -style or real hot-dog skiing, usually done on an extremely steep and mogulled hill, Where it becomes a matter of going all out on some stu1it. The third and final category is the air -borne section where all the jur°nping stunts previously mentioned are per- formed—in the air. GETTING EDUCATION Canada has about 385 universe ties and colleges with a fulltime enrolment of 268,000 students. at tnss 35 million Canadians Sports Participation Canada, a private agency devoted, to pro' muting the idea of fitness, 'ion to motivate 3,500,000 Canadians to take; up regular' �;uiaar' exercising by 1976, ac(ordirig to the director general, E;eith McKerracher of Ottawa. Mr. McKerracher says that only 400,000 Canadians now have a regular program of exec. rising. He warns,, doctors, physical. e4ucation instructora and others c6ncerned with fitness to :prepare now for the millions of Canadians who get the message from Sports Participation Canada that they are in need of exercise, Fitness Message Within a year, Canadians won't be able to light.. their cigarettes, put sugar in their tea or coffee or even have a glass of milk without being reminded of the need for exercise. A major match con pang will print almost 20 million match boxes containing fitness mes- sages. Restaurant sugar pack- ages will carry millions of sug- gestions for exercising and a number of dairies will put the message on their milk cartons. To get Canadians away from their TV sets or off the grand- stand and onto the playing sur- face, the motivation may be the fear. of dying, t. a fun of playing with others or te hope of a better sex life, said Mr., McKeerac. F Test Ole of bis hopes is to film a 00. second TV commercial which will, permit viewer, to take a fit• news teat in their laving room or den. If he had his way, be added, everyone who took the test would, flunk it., ,Dr. Gaston Choquette, director, of the exercise physiology .la« boratory at the MontrealHeart institute, said a start hallo made and the millions Mir, Kerracher speaks about "will be knocking on our doors.. Unlel there are programs and facilities for them, they will be lost, for- ever." Recolmuiendations During the national conference on health in December of last year, Sports Participation Canada passgd a number of re- commendations, as well as urg- ing all levels of goiernment to continue to support a Marketing campaign for physical fitness. Fitness evaluation centres should be established across the country to provide information and the resources needed for fit- ness programs both for normal people as well as coronary patients. Higher priority should be given to physical education programs in schools and both the quality and quantity of physical activity Service Directory W. D.
