R od as Report on Sports
sets a n. iI
in the CFL
By Rod Hilts
Sports Editor
Have you ever had one of those weekends where
nothing seemed to go right? I had one of
thoseweekends as my predictions really took it on the
nose, going one -for -four.
A certain Rough Rider fan out there will probably be
on cloud nine right about now, after his Ottawa crew
dismantled the B.C. Lions 49-19. So much for the Rough
Riders' heavy reliance on Gerry Organ's field goals.
Quarterback J.C. Watts showed that he could put
points on the board as he ran for two TD's and threw to
two Argonaut rejects for two more TD's. Surprise,
surprise, surprise.
My other predictions were close but last minute
heroics by Calgary and Saskatchewan sent my overall
record to 20-12.
With two minutes left in the game, Edmonton was
leading Calgary 15-8, by the seven points I had
predicted. 1 turned my attentions off the game for a
minute and when I looked at the game again, Calgary
had tied it up. I couldn't believe it. Then on the final
play of the game, J .T. Hay booted a 45 -yard field goal,
with the wind at his back, to give the Stampeders the
victory. So close yet so far!
On Sunday a similar situation. The Brockless
Bombers made a late game surge to take the lead, only
to see Saskatchewan take it back for their second win
of the year.
The only prediction that was right was the Ticats
over the Cords. Very little surprise in this one other
than Montreal's determination. The lead went back
and forth nine times before Hamilton finally put it
away in the final quarter.
This week Rod's Report on Sports goes on record
with the following predictions:
Saskatchewan at Ottawa
Both teams are coming off big wins over teams they
weren't expected to come close to. Both teams claim to
be Rough-riders but the home field advantage should
make Ottawa the rougher of the two.
Ottawa by 10
Montreal at Winnipeg
With Dieter Brock out of the lineup because of a
contract dispute, the Winnipeg offense will suffer. The
Cords are playing pretty fair ball lately and are in a
position to pull an upset. It should be close. ,
Brockless Bombers by seven
Toronto at B.C.
This should be a preview of the 1983 Grey Cup game.
Both teams have identical 6-2 records, however, the
Lions are probably still feeling the affects of the brutal
beating they received from fill last week. The
Argos may be stale after a two-week layoff. Should be
an excellent game.
Lions by seven
Hamilton at Edmonton
Edmonton fans must be wondering what is wrong
with their Eskimos? There are rumors floating around
that the veteran players and their new coach don't see
eye to eye. The miscommunication between the offense
and the coach was evident in last week's game as
Warren Moon was called for two time count violations.
Hamilton played well enough to win against the Cords
last week but will have to do better than that against
the defending Grey Cup champs.

The Clinton Fleming -Colts
concluded the 1983 baseball
year by finishing third in
Ontario as they split four
games at the OBA tour-
nament finals played last
weekend in Wyoming.
Kendal captured the
Ontario Baseball Association
championships by defeating
Stayner 3-2.
The Colts opened the
tournament in winning form
as they trotted over the host
Wyoming club 12-4.
Casey Wildgen pitched
nine innings of solid ball in
pacing the Colts to victory.
Wildgen allowed three
earned runs on 13 hits while
striking out three and
walking one.
Hans Leppington led the
Clinton forces offensively,
smashing out four hits. Don
MacDonald added three hits
and Dan Colquhoun and
Greg Burns had two hits
each.
The Colts jumped into an
early 2-0 lead in the opening
inning as Cal Fremlin
reached base when he was
hit by a pitch. Dan
Colquhoun then followed
with a single to advance
Fremlin to third. Both
runners scored on Hans
Leppington's double to left -
centre field.
1
Wyoming scored once in
their half of the inning when
the Colts committed an error
and a single scored their first
run.
Clinton took a 5-1 lead in
the third inning when John
Hart started the rally by
reaching base on a fielder's
choice. Greg Burns then
singled and both runners
scored on a Ron Well's
double. Wells scored on an
error to the Wyoming second
baseman, who mishandled a
Casey Wildgen drive.
Wyoming bounced back in
the fourth inning on a double
and two singles that scored
two runs.
Clinton put the game away
in the fifth inning with four
runs to take a 9-3 lead. Butch
Fleet opened the inning with
a walk and advanced to
second on Wildgen's single.
MacDonald singled in one
run and Fremlin's sacrifice
fly scored another one.
Leppington then singled in
MacDonald and one out
later, Burns singled in
Leppington for the final run
of the inning.
The Colts added three
more in the eighth on four
singles and one Wyoming
error. Wyoming got one run
back in the ninth inning.

coupled with Wyoming's
three fielding errors,

s
powered the Colts to the win.
Clinton 9 Stayrrer 8
Clinton continued their
winning style of play against
Stayner, largely due to the
superb pitching per-
formance of south -paw Dave
Patterson.
Patterson allowed four
earned runs on nine hits
while striking out four and
allowing three walks.,
Stayner took the lead early
as the first three batters up
scored on three singles and a
base on balls.
Clinton rebounded in the
second inning by scoring six
times. Stayner got the first
two Colts but after that the
next seven batters reached
base. After Greg Burns
walked, Butch Fleet and
Dave Bartliff kept things
alive with singles. Patterson
then followed with a blast to
left field, scoring two runs.
MacDonald, Fremlin and
Colquhoun then hit singles to
score four more runs.
Stayner tied the game in
the third inning on three
singles and two Colt errors.
Clinton scored a run in the
third, fourth and and sixth
innings for a 9-6 lead.
Stayner made it close with
runs in the eighth and nine
innings but the Colts
managed to hold onto vic-
tory.
MacDonald led the Clinton
offense with three singles.
Colquhoun and Fremlin had
two hits each.
Kendal 6 Colts 1
The Clinton bats "left
town" in this contest as the
they could only manage
seven hits.
The lack of pitching also
took its toll on Clinton as all-
purpose player Don
MacDonald was pressed into
pitching. MacDonald pitched
a fine game allowing four
earned runs on 11 hits while
striking out three and
allowing three bases on
balls.
The Colts opened the
scoring in the first inning
when MacDonald led off with
a single and advanced to
third on a hit by Colquhoun.
MacDonald then scored on a
fielder's choice by Lep-
Pigton-
Kendal tied the score in
their half of the first inning.
The Clinton threat to score
was minimal after the first
inning. Kendal scored one
run in the fourth and four
more in the fifth en route to
victory.
The big blow was a bases
loaded triple down the first
baseline in the fifth inning
that brought in three runs.
Stayner 5 Clinton 1
Stayner took advantage of
the tired arm of Don
MacDonald, who was forced
to pitch his second game of
the day.
Casey Wildgen had started
the game but was taken out
in the second inning after he
was experiencing arm
problems. Wildgen gave up
two unearned runs in his
brief appearance.
Stayner went out in front
by three in the second inning
by scoring another unearned
run.
Clinton scored in the fifth
when Wells opened the in-
ning with a single and went
to second when the outfielder
bobbled the ball. Wells ad-
vanced to third on a passed
ball and scored on Dave
Bartliff's groundout to first
base.
Stayner then pulled away
but adding runs in the sixth
and eighth inning to preserve
the win.
Dugout Dust
Don MacDonald was a
standout during the OBA
tournament. In 17 at bats,
MacDonald collected eight
hits, scored four runs and
had two RBI's. He also
pitched 17 innings and gave
up five earned runs on 14
hits, five strikeouts and five
bases on balls.
According to Colts'
Manager John Leppington,
the major difference in
Clinton and their opposition
was manpower. Both Kendal
and Stayner had 21 players
each while the Colts only had
12. Those teams also had
nine and seven pitchers
while Clinton only had three.
Kendal captured the OBA
Senior C Championships by
defeating Stayner 3-2.
Stayner had played Kendal
earlier and beat them 3-0 for
Kendal's only loss of the
tournament.
Clinton outfielder John
Hart received a nasty crack
on the head, requiring five
stitches when he had an
accident at a hotel pool in
Wyoming. John was
swimming to the ladder
when he was struck on the
head by the diving board.
John was still able to play in
the tournament despite the
mishap.
The Colts would like to
thank fans for their support
throughout the season and a
special thanks to the fans
who travelled to Wyoming to
support the team. A thank
you also goes out to Bill
Fleming, who has sponsored
the team for the past five
years.

Teenagers and young the least fit
Teenagers and young
adults are the least fit Cana-
dians, contrary to what
might be expected, Sports
Minister Ray Perrault says.
A national fitness test of
15,000 Canadians in 1981
found males reached their
peak physical fitness at age
13 and' females hit their top
form at age 10.

The survey found 94 per
cent of 13 -year-old males
were able to perform at the
highest level of car-
diovascular fitness recom-
mended for their age. But
the level fell to 38 per cent in
their early 20s.
Women peaked and declin-
ed at an earlier age. Some 78
per cent of 10 -year-old girls
performed at top levels, but
that dropped off to 38 per
cent in their late teens, the
survey said.
As men age, their interest
in fitness seems to return,
said Fitness Canada
spokesman Patricia Butt.
The survey showed
middle-aged ,nen were fitter
than young adults. More
than 50 per cent of men were
able to perform at recom-
mended fitness levels during
their 30s and 40s. Overall, 62
per cent of males were
deemed fit.
By comparison, only 30 per
cent of middle-aged women
were able to perform at
recommended fitness levels.
The Huron -Perth Lung
Association believes that be-
ing a non-smoker is part of
being fit. And they are ready
to help smokers quit. Call
