Then they'll plant themselves in their most comfortable chair, turn on the tube and tune everything and everyone else out as Grey Cup '84 presents the Hamilton Tiger -Cats against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The eastern final between the Ti -Cats and Argos last Sunday was much more exciting then the western final between the Blue Bombers and the B.C. Lions. Just the word "overtime" adds an extra special element to the game. Since the eastern final went into overtime, I missed a lot of the western final. What I did see really didn't compare with the Ti -Cat victory. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Ti -Cat fan, or an Argo fan. However, the game provided a defensive struggle which made the game that much more interesting. I find a 14-13 overtime victory has more excitment then a 31-14 regulation time win. Maybe because the players have played a normal length game and have to dig deep to find that extra energy. I think that Harold Ballard's comment about his Ti -Cats being a bunch of overpaid bums added to the game as well. Before tur- ning on my television I asked who's going to win? Last year's champs or the overpaid bums? Just the two words, champs and burns conjures up some images. The Argos finished regular season play with nine wins, six losses and one tie. The Ti - Cats finished with six wins, nine losses and one tie. But it was the total offensive yards for the Argos that made me think they were going to make the trip to the Grey Cup for the third time in as Many years. The Argos had 6,231 to the Ti -Cats 4,865 yards. They also beat Hamilton in touchdowns, 49-34. The only identical , statistic for the teams was the quarterback sacks. Both teams bad 58. As for the Blue Bomber -Lions game, I didn't really know who was going to win. Neither of these teams are my favorites 'either, therefore I hadn't collowed them very closely. But one thing I do remember is watching the Blue Bombers' quarterback Tom Clements leave the field under similar conditions in previous high stake games. Last year he had to leave because of a col- larbone injury, and in the third quarter of Sunday's game, he once again received an injury to his upper body. There is one dif- ference though, his team went on to win this year. What's going to happen next week? I think I'll have to go with Winnipeg. I like Tom Clements, and hopefully he'll be ready to play. Dieter .Brock has one heck of an arm, but I don't think he has the team infront of him that Clements does. I also think that Winnipeg will perform better in cold weather. Either way, it should be an in- teresting game.

After losing home and home games to the Goderich Old Deck Hands 11- 3 and 9 - 6, the Colt 35's have rebounded to win three straight, 9 - 2 in Kincardine, 10 - 3 over Zurich at home, and 4 - 2 over Wingham in Blyth this past Sunday. After three futile seasons the 35's are look- ing forward to more success on the ice this season. Each year has shown improvement over the past but defeats have always out- numbered victories. Now with a growing familiarity with each other's style (few have ever played on the same team before) a more successful brand of hockey is emerg- ing. Gary Black is the regular goaltender with back-up provided by Gerry Martin. The defence corp consists of Don Colquhoun, Ward Hodgins, Jake De Ruyter, Bill Munro, John Radford and Bill Counter, The for- wards are Ken Clynick, Phil White, Gerry Hiltz, Dave Pugh, Jim Nott, Keith Allen, Larry Powell, Dean Reid, Mel Hohner, Gord Glen and Bill Ross. The team manager, the man who organized it in 1980, and who played goal until a bad back made that im- possible, Larry Powell, arranges c ford. He alona with the schedule. This year the Clinton Colt 35's team is an officially recognized member of the Cana- dian Oldtimers Hockey Association and through this connection anticipates taking part in more recognized tournaments. Regular ice time for the Colt 35's is 9:30 to 11 p.m. Mondays at which time they usually have a game scheduled, failing which a spirited workout occupies this period. Typical of Oldtimer teams, the Colt 35's are. completely self-supporting, supplying' their own equipment and paying for their ice time while enjoying the game they have all played at various levels for many years. The Auburn Ladies met Yogi's Girls in Blyth broomball action 011 November 8. Yogi's Girls, who are a first year team, were short players and had difficulty getting the ball out of their end. (Anne Narejko photo) Atoms outhustle Wingham Last Saturday afternoon the Clinton Atoms travelled to Wingham. They outshot, outhustled and outscored Wingham to the tune of 9 - 2. The teams played to a first period score of 1-1 with Clinton getting their goal off of the stick of Mark Livermore. Chris Kennedy drew the assist on the play. Matthew Hunter tied the score for Wingham. In the second period Clinton grabbed a 4 - 1 lead on two goals by Scott Rathwell and a goal by Scott Jewitt. Gerry Cappelli drew the assist on Rathwell's first goal and Dan- ny Wildfong had the assist on Jewitt's goal. 'Clinton outscored Wingham five goals to one in the third stanza. Mark Livermore gave Clinton a 5 -1 lead in the first minute of the third after Danny Wildfong and Chris Kennedy did all the spade work in setting up the score. After Wingham cut the lead to 5 - 2 on a goal by Ryan Deyell, Clinton came back to finish off the scoring with four straight goals. Shawn Chipchase, with the assist going to Jason Carter, got the first one. Jeff Riley, combining on an excellent pass from Mark King, gave Clinton another goal and a 7 - 2 lead. Three minutes later Chris Kennedy's wrist shot found the bottom low corner to add to Clinton's lead. Mark Livermore and Scott Shaddick had the assists. To round out the scoring Scott Jewitt banged home his own rebound. Scott Wright, who didn't figure in the scoring statistics played an excellent game on the Clinton defence. Derek Hoggarth and Rob- bie Marriage shared the goaltending as the Atoms won for the sixth straight time without a set back. The Atoms next game is against Mitchell this Saturday at the Clinton Arena. game time is 3:15 p.m. No room for rec director's office By Anne Narejko CLINTON - After spending over $i.5 - million on the 104 -year-old town hall renovations, there is no room for the recreation director's office. Instead, extra money will be spent on converting the basement of the library into an office. - Original plans were to have Clinton Recreation Director, Kevin Duguay use the library basement as a temporary office while the -town :hall was under construction. When construction was completed, Mr. Duguay was to have a furnished office in the building. He has now been informed that the library basement will be his permanent office. Town council had originally planned to revamp the mayor's office in the renovated town hall to accommodate the recreation director. Council debated whether the recreation director's offices would,be best situated at the town hall' or the arena. The general consensus of their April 16 meeting was that the town hall location would be more central. to Clinton and would enable the recreation director to carry out more of the organizational projects. Council originally decided that the mayor's office would be converted into a joint office between the recreation director and the town's bylaw enforcement officer. "I would like to go on record as saying that I am opposed to this for many reasons," stated Recreation Committee member Linda Reid. "One, you can never, get a hold of Kevin when you want him. If he was at town hall people would be around to answer the phone; two, that location is very ,inaccessible to the public; and three, more money will be spent when over a million dollars have already been spent at the town Nall." As of the November 12 Recreation Committee meeting, the Local Architectural. Conservation Advisory Committee (LACAC), were sharing the same office at the library. Mr. Duguay has been told to make arrangements as to which room he prefers in the basement. After coming up with six proposals as to how the recreation office could be set up in the library, Mr. Duguay came up with one that he thought was the best. The proposal involves the recreation office using one and a half rooms. The first room would be the main office and reception area and the half a room would be used as a meeting room,: a place for summer employees and storage of files. The LACAC committee would use the remainder of the second room for their work. "This proposal is planned with foresight. Reversible wllCentre Vee - Random Lengths 80 LINE INT.

Furnishings need for the office include a telephone answering machine, a mail slot for messages and registration forms to be dropped off through, an office sign on the lawn and door so people know where to go, chairs and book shelves. After seven months of waiting, Mr. Duguay now has a desk. "One thing that should be made clear is that the Recreation Committee isn't responsible for the costs. The town is responsible for the housing of the office," commented Mr. Duguay. He will present his office proposal to the parks, pool and program committee and then they will submit a recommendation to town council in approximately two weeks.
