I enjoy them because it makes the seeker] much more interesting. Once again; members of Signal -Star Publishing have started .a pool. This time it's the National Football League (NFL) that we are trying to predict. A league I'm not too familiar with, but what better way to learn. As in the hockey pool I lost in a few years ago, I have a partner. Unfortunately she doesn't know any more about the NFL; than 1 do. Both of us like the San Francisco '49ers because of quarterback Joe Montana's stun- ning eyes. She also thinks that Dwight Clarke has a few good moves. Personally, my favorite team has to be the Los Angeles Raiders. Their black uniforms make them look rough and tough and Marcus Allen has all the guts a football player needs. Now, if you were to ask me a few simple questions about the Canadian Football League (CFL) I might be able to answer them. At least I could list the teams that are in the league. I questioned our football pool organizer as to why we had to use the NFL instead of the CFL. His. reason, "The CFL's boring." Anyone within hearing distance agreed with him saying, "the field's too big, all they do is punt" or "they don't pass in the CFL. Funny, I thought the CFL had quarterbacks too. Some people get really argumentative when the CFL is pitted againsted the NFL in a conversation. I can remember two of my relatives, who are normally calm people, yelling at each other because one made a negative comment about the CFL. Why the one league uses three downs and the other four downs, or why one league uses a larger field than the other, are two ques- tions I don't know the answers to. But the majority of people I know enjoy the NFL a lot more than the CFL. Maybe I'm being patriotic or something, but I have to disagree with them. I enjoy watching Hamilton play Toronto, or Calgary take on Winnipeg. Maybe it's because I've been to Toronto and Hamilton and I know a little about Calgary and Win-, nipeg. I appreciate the larger- field. Just think how much more running each athlete he s to do, putting him in better shape and testing the quarterbacks' throwing strength. Maybe I enjoy the CFL because I've wat- ched them since I was a little kid. Old habits are hard to break. Regardless of my personal preference, the fact remains that I have to predict the outcome of games in the NFL. Instead of getting too serious about the football pool, my partner and I are going to use our own method - the cutest quarterback wins. Hole -in -one Len Johnson, of Bayfield, made a hole -in - one at the fifth hole at the Bluewater Golf Course in Bayfield. Len, or Charlie as his friends call him, made the shot on August 28. Tennis Tourney Local tennis buff Phil Cornish has organized a tennis tournament for September 7 on the Central Huron Secon- dary School (CHSS) tennis courts.

They competed in the Women Under 18 category. The national win was not the first for the pair, who won it in Quebec in 1982. Dana finished first again last year with partner Karen Cowan, of Brussels. The only year she hasn't been a winner since entering the . competition was in 1983 and only because, as her dad, coach and mentor, Dick Kloss says, she was over confident from her win the previous year, and didn't train hard enough. This year both .Kim and Dana trained hard, paddling approximately 16 miles at least three nights a week in Grand Bend; and racing on the weekends. It paid off although the girls admit there was a point they weren't sure if they could pull it off. • , • "We weren't coming in first forawhile," said Dana. • "Manitoba led for the first half. Then dad started yelling at us and told us if we didn't • winwe might as well keep paddling right on by. We won." And how did they' feelabout the win. • "Good I guess," offered Kim, "but it was hard work. • The girls put in two hours and 20 minutes of nonstop paddling, completing a 24 kilometre course that included a series of laps around Peterborough's little Lake, Otonabee River and the Trent River System. There were also two portages of approximately 150 metres in length that had to be completed. The national win was fostered by a number • of successes over the summer for the girls. And while they qualified for the competition one month ago by winning the provincial competition (also held in Peterborough) their season started successfully with a win in Seaforth. "They started out beating all the, boys in the Seaforth race," said Mr. Kloss. .But to continue winning means a big commitment of time, and Dana, who ' will enter Grade 11 at the Seaforth District High. School in the falLand Kim, who enters Grade 12 in Clinton, aren't sure they want to continue to devote as much time as needed to the sport. "r rn planning on retiring," said Dana. By retiring the girls may leave the way open for other in the area. Other Winners Also taking part in the national competi- tion and doing well was Raquel Bunn of Brucefield. Ole foamed' up with Barb Hawkins of Chatham and finished fourth behind Dana and Kim in the Women Under 18 pairs competition. In the Junior Mixed category Raquel paired up with Shawn Duncan of New BrunSWidc and finished third. Len Healey and Carla FOrd, both of Brucefield finished fourth in the same race. • In the Senior Men's race Ted Cowan Junior of Brussels and Rene Boogemans of Hensall . were second, and in the Senior Mixed race Rene Boogemans and Dawn Williams of Port Elgin were first. • In the Masters Over 40 class Dick ,Kloss and Ray Healy of Cameron finished fourth. Earlier at the World Masters Games held over 10 days in Toronto Rene Booeemans and Kathy Cassels of Newmarket finished second in the mixed canoe race and Dick Kloss and Ray Healy finished sixth in the men's race. Also at the Masters games Mr. Kloss finished 10th in his class (age '40 to 44 years) in the five kilometre swim. He was competing against 40 other men his age. He finished the, swim in one hour and 16 minntes- -if don't know how I was expecting to de but I was pleased because my wife was pleased with me.
