Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1986-07-30, Page 15Pair take first place By David Emslie CLINTON - Two local ladies, Marg Switzer and Minlue Rumball, walked away with first place in cribbage play during the District Senior Games held in Dorchester on June 23 and June 24. The ladies gained entrance into the games, which featured players from Huron, Perth and Middlesex Counties, through win- ning against three other Clinton teams. "The information came through recrea- tion," Mrs. Rumball said. "We had a whole list of games we could enter, and we entered in cribbage." While they also earned the right to play in last year's games in St.. Mary's, they said . there were fewer teals this year: During this year's'games they played 10 teams, in • - eluding those from Thorndale, Exeter, Goderich and Zurich. "We played some close games," Mrs. Rumball said, taking one game by a point, and another by two. The winner of the tournament was the team with the lowest score. Mrs. Rumball and Mrs. Switzer finished with 44 points. "The nearest team behind us had 64, they were 20 points behind us," Mrs. Rumball said. When questioned as to whether they were surprised with their win, they answered in unison, "Sure were." Mrs. Switer added, "A couple of men were pretty disappointed, they had won seven games straight. So they weren't very happy."

JULY 30. 1986—Paso 15 t Forgotten Tearn While I am not sure where the sporting loyalties lie in this area, I would like to talk about a forgotten football team, the Toronto Argonauts. First off, why are they forgotten? I think this can be partially blamed on the populari- ty of the Toronto Blue Jays, while the declin- ing interest in the Canadian Football League (CFL) has to share some of the blame. Before the Blue Jays carne along and took the press by storm the Argos were really the only game in town. Therefore, if I wanted any news on the failing, or successful Argos, I just had to turn to one off the daily papers. Earlier this month I had been 'turning to two dailies in hopes of getting some current news on the fate of the Argos, who had lost their last two games, only to find everything I ever wanted to know about the drug habits of baseball players, and nothing on my favorite team. Sure, all of that is interesting, but right then I wanted to know when Chris Woods and Conredge Holloway would be returning to the roster. These players are workers for Toronto and, I think, a necessity if the Argos are to get back on the winning side. You can compare their injuries, if you will, to a pitcher on a baseball team who just can't get it together. The team suffers through the pitcher's loss. Well, Dave Stieb is just such a pitcher, and right there, in one of Canada's largest newspapers was a story on his seeing a psychologist to get him out of his slump. What I really wanted to know, though, was what was being done for the Argos' top quarterback, and the league's leading punt returner. Were they returning? Had they retired? How extensive were their injuries? But that's enough complaining, if people are more interested in baseball, I guess that is what the reporters have to cover. I would like to continue discussing the Argos, though. They really aren't that bad of a team, they are fun to watch, and believe it or not they have a lot of talent. One just has to look at the statistics to realize this. First there is Hank Ilesic. Since he was taken off place kicking duties last year he has turned into a formidable punter. He currently leads the league with 2,615 yards on 53 punts. This gives Ilesic an average of 49.3 yards a punt, and his longest traveled an astounding 76 yards. While on the subject of kickers, we can't ignore Toronto's Lance Chomyc. Until last week's Argo victory of Saskatchewan he was the only place kicker in the league with a perfect record, kicking 12 for 12 in the field goal department. His record still stands at a very respectable 13 for 14. Chomyc is also tied with the kicker from the Edmonton Eskimos for overall scoring in the CFL. So far he has run up 47 points in the booting department. When I mentioned previously that Chris Woods was the league leading punt returner it was a bit of an exageration, but not much. His average stands at 16.1 yards a carry, almost seven yards higher than the average of the leading returner, Darnell Clash of the British Columbia Lions. Clash was the star punt' returner of the league last year, but with 42 carries, he has traveled only 408 yards this year. In com- parison, Woods has carried only 15 times fob' 241 yards. So, who is better? Obviously, if Woods had not been sidelined for two and a half games, he would still be in the lead. Hopefully, with Woods and Holloway in the roster again, the Argos will continue on their winning path. As for the team as a whole, the Argos now stand alone in first place in the eastern divi- sion, though those who understand the CFL will realize this doesn't mean a whole lot, as the west is the stronger division. But first place is first place. Field Hockey Last week I had the honor of meeting five members of Canada's 1986 Women's World Cup field hockey team. Aside from discussing their hopes for the World Cup, we talked about their failure to get any press at all, good or bad. I think it's a shame that a team that will be representing Canada in an international tournament is being ignored. Unfortunately, it is understandable (they agreed with me on this) as field hockey has never been a sport that has caught the Canadian public's interest. Therefore, since I can not give them all the press necessary to bring them to the public eye, I would like to offer them my best wishes for the games in Holland, and say, good luck. • Minlue Rumball (left) and Marg Switzer, both of Clinton, came out on top in the cribbage competition of the district senior games that encompass three counties, Huron, Perth and Middlesex. With their win they will be traveling to Waterloo to play in the Ontario games.
