These women call themselves "football widows" claiming to have lost their husbands to televised football games. A new course entitled "What is Monday Night Football All About? - A Course for Women" has been started by a New York psychotherapist in an effort to promote communication with their football -crazed husbands. Sheila Peck teaches the course in Lyn- brook, N.Y. and stresses that Monday Night Football is a fact of life that we must learn to deal with. "It is an institution," she says. The course informs women about 1 - formations, hang time, nickel defenses and how to cope with Saturday, all -day Sunday and Monday night football. One women, who enrolled in the course, blames televised football for her divorce. She said every weekend her husband did nothing bit watch football. She described the addiction to televised football as "a very, very serious situation." The stories that are told at this course, which meets every Monday night, sum up how some women feel about football in their lives. One women told a story where someone see knew cut the plug off the television in an effort to stop her husband from watching the football game. Another women told of being driven "half crazed" by loud cries of "Huuut-Huuuut-Huuuut" of quarterback chatter coming from the family room during Thanksgiving dinner. The women who attended the course came to the conclusion that professional football is popular with men because: It is controlled warefare; that men like violence and aggression; that watching football is one of the last male preserves; that it is a game that allows men to hug and pat each other and that Monday Night Football extends the weekend. Mrs. Peck concluded that watching televised football "can become an addiction, a distancing from family members, an excuse to tell them to -be quiet and go away". Now I've heard everything. The next thing you know, they'll be telling people that watching televised football causes cancer! widows y Rod Hilts Football Forecast Montreal at Ottawa Both teams pulled upsets last weekend and surprised a lot of people. Both teams will be without their starting quarterbacks as J.C. Watts and Johnny Evans are injured. I still can't get over the Cords effort against Calgary last weekend. If the Cords defense plays like it did last week, it could be a good game. Riders by 10 Toronto at Edmonton This is a big game for the Eskimos. It is a must win situation if they are to see any post season play. After getting pounded by Winnipeg last weekend it's hard to say how they will respond. Toronto on the other hand has clinched first place in the east. Eskles by 10 Calgary at Hamilton This is the biggest game of the season for both clubs. All of a sudden Hamilton find themselves in a playoff struggle with the Cords, a struggle they could lose if they don't watch out. Calgary must win their last two games to make it into the playoffs. Should be a dandy match -up. Hamilton by seven B.C. at Saskatchewan The best in the west against the worst in the west. This game will give the Lions a chance to try some new patterns and generally fine-tune their offense. I look for the Roughies to get thrown to the Lions. B.C. by 15 Season record: 32W 24L Junior C Winners Paul East, Gerry Gainner and Wanda Van Loo were the winners for the last three Junior C 50-50 draws. Fishing regulations to protect trophy fish New regulations affecting non-resident anglers, including revised rates and special protection for two- species of trophy fish, were announced recently by Natural Resources Minister Alan Pope. The changes, which take effect across On- tario on January 1, 1984, will apply, in vary- ing degrees, to all out -of -province anglers. "Ontario offers some of the best angling opportunities in the Norld," Mr. Pope said. "We want to ensure that this high quality is maintained, and that those who fish in our province are given a fair opportunity to help pay for and preserve that privilege." Under the changes to angling regulations, which are applicable across the province, visitors from the U.S. and other countries will be able to buy a new 21 -day angling licence for $20, renewable for an additional 21 days at a' further charge of $10. Research has shown that 94 per cent of U.S. residents who fish in Ontario do so for less than 21 days, and they will now pay an additional $5 a year for the opportunity. Cost of the existing four-day, non-resident licence for non -Canadians will be increased to $10 from $8. while a seasonal licence will Are you over 60 or turning 71 before December 31, 1983? if you ore, and wish to secure o lifetime income from your R.R.S.P.

Visitors to Ontario from other Canadian provinces will pay only slightly more to fish in Ontario. The cost of a seasonal angling licence will be $6.25, up from $6. All out -of -province visitors, however, will pay more to fish for certain sensitive species. "All non-residents will pay $5 for special stamps if they wish to fish for muskellunge or lake trout," Mr. Pope said. "These species are highly -prized and subject to heavy overfishing in some areas." The special stamps, valid for one year, can be applied to any angling licences held by a non-resident. Mr. Pope noted that, because most anglers from outside the province visit On- tario just once a year, "the increase in the seasonal licence fee will affect only the very heaviest users of this resource." Fee may he charged EXETER - A user fee system may be initiated at the South Huron Rec Centre, near Exeter. Town ;council and the rec centre board agreed to proceed with plans to start the system due to lack of response from area municipalities to assume a more equitable share of the rec board's deficit. While arrangements for the user fee system will be made, area municipalities will still be given the chance to come up with increased grant support before the system is adopted. Studies have shown that Exeter pays a disproportionate share of the deficit, but efforts to have area municipalities increase their assistance have proven futile in most instances. By Rod Hilts The Clinton Junior C Mustangs came up with a revamped effort on Sunday afternoon as they travelled to Hanover and skated to a 3-3 tie with the Barons for their first point of the season. The Mustangs went into Sunday's game still feeling the affects of a 8-2 drubbing they absorbed Friday night at home against the same Hanover team. Prior to the game in Hanover, the Mustangs held a team meeting to discuss what direction they were heading. The meeting appeared to have some impact on the players as they came out flying against the Barons. According to Clinton Manager Wayne Wiggins, the Mustangs backchecked and forechecked with intensity throughout the contest. He said for the first time this season, Clinton played consistent hockey, "without their usual 10 minute flashes." The Mustangs opened the scoring three minutes into the first period on a goal by Brad Hymers. Hymers combined on a three= way passing play with linematea Randy Marriage and Wayne Smith. Clinton jumped into a 2-0 lead at the 12:27 mark of the period when Dean Armstrong scored on a powerplay. Armstrong was set up on a breakaway and after deking goaltender Scott White, he lost control of the puck. Luck was on the side of the Mustangs as the puck dribbled past the stick of White and into the net. Hanover hit the scoreboard five seconds later on a goal that was scored as the result of a scramble in front of the net. Goaltender Pat Cronin was screened on the play. The Mustangs made it 3-1 with 3:17 left in the period on a goal by Darryl Madge assisted by Dean Armstrong. Madge unleashed a 25 -foot slapshot that beat White to the glove -hand side. The Barons scored one more before the period ended giving Clinton a 3-2 lead going into the dressing room. The second period was scoreless as both teams seemed content to play defensive hockey. Clinton goalie Cronin played a fine period as he made a number of good saves. Hanover scored the tying goal at the 5:03 mark of the third period on a goal by Tom Davis. Davis let go a blistering drive that beat Cronin to the corner. The 3-3 draw represents Clinton's first point of the season and comes as a big relief after the team had been outscored 52-9 in five previous losses. Defensively, Brent Daw and Jim Mathers ti played good games. Daw has responded well since being switched from left wing to the point position. The line of Brad Armstrong, Dean Armstrong and Jeff LeBeau also played well for Clinton. Hanover 8 Clinton 2 Three goals in the first three minutes of the game powered the Hanover Barons to a convincing 8-2 triumph over the Mustangs on Oct. 21. The Mustangs played solid hockey for a brief moment in the second period when they closed the score to 3-2 but after that they seemed to skate around the ice ef- fortlessly. Following the game, Clinton Coach Bob Zimmer was angry with his team's per- formance. "We've been here together long enough that things should be conning together. Everybody has got to start pulling their• a at weight around here. My biggest disap- pointment was the lack of a team effort," Zimmer said. Fifteen seconds into the game Hanover scored as Richard Grubb took a pass from Paul Nixon and blasted a shot from point- blank range past a surprised Terry Bean. Just as Clinton was recovering from the initial shock of the first goal, Brian Sweeney scored giving Hanover a 2-0 lead. Sweeney snapped a shot that eluded Bean's glove and ended up in the top corner of the net. One minute later, Gord Beaton scored after he capitalized on a give away by the Clinton defense. Beaton stole the puck at the Mustang blueline, skated in alone on Bean, and beat the rookie netminder on a well - executed deke. Clinton managed to get one with 1:33 remaining in the period when Del Bedard scored a powerplay goal. Bedard's slapshot caught the corner on Scott White, who i Last weekend the Clinton Mustangs earned their first point of the season as they tied the Hanover Barons 3-3.

The snowmobile grass drag series will climax in the provincial championships being held at Hully Gully on Sunday, October 30, and besides regular cash paybacks that the Modifieds normally race for, an extra $1,000 has been put up for this prestigious race. The modified snowmobiles are the ones that sanctioning bodies allow to make certain performance, suspension and track modifications for faster speeds than the stock classes. In fact, the wild open modified classes are an anything goes situation. The Open Modifieds are very low slung, with very powerful engines — usually in excess of 100 horsepower. They are also capable of hitting in the neighborhood of 100 miles per hour from a standing start in just an eighth of a mile. And all this on grass! The Ontario Championships will also feature a real -crowd pleaser — watercross.

Snowmobiles get a running start, and then hit the water. From that point on, they plane across the water on their skis and track. World record holder Greg Balchan is expected for this event, as well as other pros and some amateur participants. One of the other attractions is a three- wheeler all terrain vehicle drag event. The racing begins Sunday morning at 10:30, with the professional classes begin- ning around 12:00. Hully Gully is north of London, between Hensel! and Clinton, off Highway 4. Groaner If you don't look out, becoming overweight can snack up on you. Why do so many fad diets fail? Because they're not based on basic principles of sound nutrition. And also because they're boring. Who wants to go on a diet heavy on bananas or grapefruit and miss out on a variety of food? ve thought he had given the Clinton player nothing to shoot at. The Mustangs came out ready to play hockey in the second period as they forechecked the Barons closely fir the first five minutes off the period. Scott Bailey took a pass from Hymers and drilled a slapshot that beat White high to the glove -hand side. At this point it seemed like Clinton was going to make a game out off it. The Clinton powerplay came dose a couple of times in the period as Brent Daw hit the post twice on good, hard low shots from the point. Throughout the second period Baron goalie White could be seen taking swipes at Mustang players that came near the net. Twice White received minor penalties for roughing. Hanover scored at the 12:40 mark when Clinton was caught making a line change. Dixon took advantage of the situation and beat Bean with a nice slap shot between the pads. Bruce Kuntz gave Hanover a 5-2 lead when he cashed in on a rebound at 6:23. A bad play by Bean led to Hanover's sixth goal as he attempted to pass the puck up the middle and it was intercepted by Sweeney. Sweeney gobbled up the puck and shot into an empty net before the Clinton goalie knew what had happened. Hanover dominated the third period as they added two more goals to their total. Sweeney, Nixon and Kuntz scored their second goals of the game in saddling the Mustangs. Following the game, Hanover Coach Jim Nixon said his team handled the puck well in their own end and that was the key to vic- tory. "We looked good in our own end. The game was a typical Junior C game. It was wide open with a lack of defense. There was a lot of stupid penalties and chippy stuff," said Mr. Nixon. Hawks come to town On Friday night the Walkerton Black Hawks come to Clinton to face the Mustangs for an 8:30 p.m. game. Walkerton and Clinton are tied for last with one point each. The Mustangs play in Port Elgin Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. Captains named The Mustangs named their team Captain and Assistants at a team meeting last Sunday morning. Brad Armstrong was chosen as the captain and Brent Daw and Grant Garrow are the assistants.
