Who will win this year's Grey Cup? Will the Edmonton
Eskimos repeat the feat for the sixth year in a row? Will
the Argonauts come on strong and claim the Cup or will
Saskatchewan surprise everyone and stake claim to the
title?
On July 7, the Canadian Football League kicks off
another season with a lot of unanswered questions in
many of the lineups.
A quick glance at the lineups around the league shows
that some of the big names from the 1982 season are
missing.
British Columbia Lions
Gone is head coach Vic Rapp, running back Larry Key,
tight end Harry Holt, defensive tackle Rick Goltz and
receiver Tyrone Gray. The key to the Lions will be how
well their replacements do the job.
Quarterbacks Roy,Dewalt and Joe Paopao have played
well in pre -season play and should guide the Lions to a
strong finish. B.C. is overdue for a winner and it's about
time they showed fans they're not a team that chokes
every time the playoffs roll around.
Edmonton Eskimos
Gone is head coach Hugh Campbell and punter Hank
IIesic. Other than the loss of two people, the Eskimo
roster is virtually unchanged.
Age is starting to catch up with Edmonton. Fourteen of
the 24 starters are over 30 years of age. Warren Moon will
be at the helm and gunning for Grey Cup number six.
This may be the year the Eskimo-iasty starts to
crumble. Age and injuries may stop them f om taking the
Western Division.
Saskatchewan Roughriders
Look for a revitalized effort this season from the green
machine.
Last year's cellar position finish should be the furthest
thing from the mind of the Roughies.
Running back Mike Washington is back and com-
plimented with receivers Dwight Edwards and Stew
Fraser, Saskatchewan should have a strong offense. Joe
'747' Adams will be the starting QB and the addition of
noseguard Karl Morgan should make the defense
stronger.
Calgary Stampeders
Rookie quarterbacks could put the Stamps in a no win
situation. Head coach and general manager Jack Gotta
has decided that imports at the QB position is the route to
go. Ignore the fact he has the slowest receivers in the
league and he might be on the right track. Receivers Tom
Forzani and Mike Levenseller make up the aerial threat
that will likely be grounded by opposition defenses.
Judging soley on their offense, I'd have to say the
Calgary Stampeders are going no where in a hurry.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers
The Bombers have been hit the hardest with players
that have either retired or fled to the southern football
leagues.
Gone is all-star quarterback Dieter Brock and stellar
defensive lineman John Helton, who have retired.
Speedster Eugene Goodlow has gone to the United States
to play for the New Orlean Saints. Running back William
Miller has decided to play for the Cleveland Browns and
Vince Phason is in Green Bay. Add up all the losses and
you have a football team that has major holes to fill in key
positions. Look for Winnipeg to bomb -out this year and
finish near the Western Division cellar.
Toronto Argonauts
The double blue will be strong this season, led by
Condredge'Holloway and the run and shoot offense. No
bones about it, the Argos will be hard to knock out off the
Eastern Division perch.
Hamilton Tiger -Cats
The loss of receiver Steve Stapler for the year because
of a dislocated hip will dampen the Ticats offense. It will
be up to pivot Tom Clements to keep the team's offense in
high gear.
Defensively, the Ticats are hurting. The departure of
veteran Dave Shaw, defensive tackle Jim Muller and
Leroy Paul will leave the defense in a state of confusion.
The Ticats should battle the Argos closely for first place in
the East.
Ottawa Rough Ridets
The late addition of quarterback J.C. Watts may be the
ticket Ottawa needed in their quest for respectability.
Skip Walker and a s, rong offensive line are this teams
biggest assets. No threat for first but a possible second or
third.
Montreal Concordes
Probably the worst team in the entire CFL, the Con -
cordes are destined for last place. The team has a
minimal amount of bright spots in running back Lester
Brown and offensive tackle Llyod Fairbanks.
I'II be surprised if they win five games over the season.
Parkhill Canoe Regatta
Now that everyone has
gotten their canoes out of
storage, it is time to get us-
ing them and enjoying the
outdoors. Come on out to
Parkhill Conservation Area
(located at the junctions of 7
and 81 south) for the annual
Parkhill Canoe Regatta and
Family Picnic being held on
Sunday, JLy 10. The canoe
regatta is being sponsored
by the Ausable Bayfield Con-
servation Authority. The day
commences with registra-
tion at 9:30 a.m:to 10:45 a.m.
There is going to be a wide
variety of canoe races in
both the amateur and ad-
vanced classes. This year
there will also be two kayak
races: an open race and a
junior race. There is also go-
ing to be a watermelon
eating contest, horseshoe
tournament and a tug of
war!
The races will promptly
commence at 11 a.m. Camp-
ing facilities are available in
the park for those who wish
to stay for the weekend.

Gip Last week the Clinton
Fleming -Colts had trouble
driving in runs as they
dropped one regular season
game and two tournament
games.
Clinton had- no problem
getting men on base during
e three games, stranding a
otal of 25 men on base, 15 of
them in scoring position.
On June 29, the Fleming -
Colts travelled to Exeter and
were turned back by the
Seniors 12-8, in a game
shortened by darkness.
Things turned from bad to
worse for Clinton as the
game was delayed 45
minutes because the Seniors
were short players.
After play got underway,
Clinton found themselves up
5-1 after two innings.
Errors put John Hart and
Del Mitchelmore on base to
begin the inning. Dave
Bartliff then followed with
an RBI single to right field
scoring Hart. Don
MacDonald walked to load
the bases, setting the stage
for Greg Burns. Burns
responded with a grand slam
homer, shooting the
Fleming -Colts into the lead.
Don MacDonald pitched
the first three innings,
allowing two runs on four
hits and two walks. Mike
Williscraft relieved him in
the fourth inning. After
getting the first batter out,
Williscraft walked the next
two batters and then gave up
three consecutive singles,
tying the game at 6-6.
In the fifth inning, the
lights event out on Clinton as
Exeter struck for six more
runs.
The big inning started on a
bunt single and an error to
Fleming -Colts catcher Brent
Dawe Controversy
surrounded the next hit,
which according to Clinton
Manager John Leppington,
was "a foot and a half foul."
The questionable hit was
drilled down the line and
waved fair by the umpire,
scoring two runs. -
When the Fleming -Colts
took the field in the sixth
inning, the Umpire told
Coach Brian Kennedy that it
was the last inning because
of darkness.
Clinton scored two runs in
the sixth but the game was
called after the inning.
Greg Burns sparkled at the
plate, collecting five RBI's
on a single, double and grand
slam. Dan Colquhoun had
two singles and John Hart
had a single and a double.
Sarnia 8 Clinton 5
The Fleming -Colts took
part in a tournament in
Sarnia last weekend, losing
both games they played.
In the first game, Sarnia
scored six runs in the first
three innings to beat Clinton
8-5.
Sarnia scored six runs on
six hits, one walk and one
Clinton error. Sarnia made it
8-2 before the Fleming -Colts
scored three times in
seventh.
Clinton's first two runs
came in the third inning on
three straight hits coming
