Kind of a mixed bag of tricks; but Super - cross has something in common with all of them. It's compared to football for the sheer strength required to struggle with something that Weighs around 200 pounds; hang-gliding for the,dizzying heights reach- ed coming off some of the jumps. Figure skating comes into play due to the delicate and precise manouvres that are choreographed by the riders in order to sur- vive the tracks, and steeplechase for the type of eourse and endurance required by the rider. Top this off with excessive speed and the human Competitive spirit and you've got one of the hottest snorts to hit the PeeWees split week's ball games The Winthrop PeeWee boys travelled to Atwood Wednesday and defeated their op- ponents. by a score of 12-11. Excellent fielding was the key to the win. Paul Dolmage, who pitched a good game, also led in the batting with a double (which drove in three runs) and a single. Brad Schroeder, Chris Van Bakel and Chris Poland each got two singles, while Kelly Van Bakel and Jasen Muir got one.

Supercross - indoor motocross, first ap- peared in Los Angeles in 1972, and has since taken the continent by storm. This is evidenced by the tens of thousands of fans that make the yearly trek to Toronto for its annual Supercross. This is the second year for Supercross in ondon as it made its debut last year at Western Fairgrounds, meeting favourable response. Last year's Supercross was jam- med into one action -packed day, however, this year, it has been lengthened to hyo days; one for Motocross, the other for ATV competition, Supereross is slated for August 15 and• 16 at the Western Fairgrounds, and will go rain or shine.
