Appearing much like a duck leading her family across the water are a supervising craft from Grand Bend yacht club towing four junior prams into harbor after a race over the holiday weekend.

Mr. Leigh, Bill Duffield and Richard Ivey finished in that order, John young copped another event, taking the miscellaneous section over Vern Brant of Toronto and Roy Robinson of Grand Bend. The Ontario regatta, an an- nual affair, was under the di, rection of P resident Vince Coome of the Royal Hamilton yacht club and secretary Gilder of Toronto. In charge of the events were race committee chairman F/L Don Williamson of RCAF Cen- tralia and club commodore Dr. Jerry Copestake of London. The Ontario Catamaran As- sociation embraces members, about 40 in number, from Ot- tawa to Toronto and North Bay to Grand Bend. association, was ru ,ner-ep to Young, Gilder finished both races in second position and was robbed of a Chance of the grand title by the first of several antica of the weatherman, Saturday afternoon. The secretary was about 300 yards from the finish line when the two-hour time limit had ex- pired as a very calm lake and little breeze slowed down the crafts. Bruce Price, also of Toronto, placed third in the overall point tabulation. Sunday's wild and turbulent lake conditions kept the sailors from engaging in an official race, but failed to slow down their enthusiasm. Grabbing the smaller crafts of the junior members, the seniors staged two off-the-re- cord contests in the river. A variety of weather on Lake guron forced the Ontario Sail- ing Catamaran Association rp- gatta, to be shortened from a Planned three days to a busy one-day program. JOIM Young, a charter Mere- ber of the host Grand Bend yacht club, was declared On- tario ehamp on the basis of two races held Monday, The genial "Bend" boat works operator won the morn- ing race and placed third in another event held over the noon hour. Another member of the Young family, Brian, captured the club's junior title when he sail- ed his eight-font pram to an easy victory. A complete 1 ac k of w ind shortly after the youngsters' race got underway slowed the pace to a crawl. The race was officially called off as Brian reached the first marker and the other boats were pined in their stalled positions. Bob Venton and Kathy Mc- Conville, both of London, were in the number two and three spots when junior club instruc- tor, Clayt Gallienne of Lon- don called a halt to proceed- ings.

John Young, right, of the host club, won the Ontario Sailing Catamaran Association regatta at Grand Bend over the Civic Holiday weekend. His son, Brian, won the junior championship during the same period. Shown above with Young are Bruce Price, Toronto, who placed third, and John Gilder, also of Toronto, the runner-up. Gilder is secretary of the provincial association. Touring three times around an approximate 100-yard course that egtended from mid, way in the club's docking fa- cilities to the government ramp most of the local members and out-of-town guests partici- pated. John Gilder, proving he was a competent skipper regardless of the size of the boat, nipped Don Williamson and John Young, all of the "Bend" club in the first heat. Jack Venton of London pilot- ed his pram to victory in the second event, followed by Dirk Kobe and Doug Welland of Tor- onto. In Sunday's junior race, also confined to the river, Brian Young was home in front, best- ing Bob Venton and Irvin Cope- stake.

Goodwin amassed 85 points over the four weeks of bowling. A total of 77 points gave Lila Smith the runner-up posi- tion and Will Shapton's 6'7 was good for third spot. A three-way tie existed for fourth spot with Ray Mills, Hugh Love and Gary Middleton winding up with 65 points apiece. The point system is being abandoned by the club and regu- lar jitneys will be resumed Tuesday nights for the balance of the summer. Will Goodwin was also in the winners' circle Saturday night as he teamed with Mrs, Luker to win two games and a plus of 16 in jitney play. Howard Treumner and his partner came second on the basis of two wins and a nine plus. As the Canadian football season gets under way this week, we have been checking into the activities of the clubs in pre-season training and their lists of playing personnel. After digesting this information, we will make our predictions at the end of this column to give our readers a chance to put their money on other clubs. We'll start in, the west with the Grey Cup holders, Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Bud Grant's crew, with four cups in the past fiveyears, appear to be 'as strong as a year ago, Regular signal caller Kenny Ploen will be back for his seventh term. Off-season operations have sent veterans Gorclie Rowland and Roger Savoie back to camp in top 'notch shape. Savoie and Herb Gray are starting their eleventh year in the Canadian gridiron wars, Grant always seems to come up with a club strong on ball control and is able to instill a fight- ing spirit in 'his boys, One of the notable absentees in the Blue Bomber line-up will be Canadian fullback Jerry James. Second in the scoring parade a year ago, James has been placed on 'the waiver list. Calgary Stampeders, last year's Western finalists, have made only 'a few changes to the club that finished with a rush. Capturing eight of 'their last 10 scheduled games, the Stamps had the Blue Bombers on the ropes in the closing minutes of the 62 final playoff, only to lose on a costly fumble. Coach Bobby Dobbs is all set at the quar- terback slot with •the pin-point passing of Eagle Day, Three new defensive halfbacks have been brought in from the States, led by Jesse Branch from the University of Arkansas in an attempt to tighten up a weak pass defence. Football representatives of the Stampede City have not been to the Grey Cup since Les Lear's club of '49 made the jaunt. The Saskatchewan Roughriders, compris- ing mostly proven veterans will be ruled by a new coach. Bob Shaw is taking over from the former great handler of the New York Giants, Steve Owen. Two of the best-known newcomers to west- ern Canada fans come to the Roughrider club from Ottawa. They are quarterback Ron Lan- caster and Dick bohee, a corner linebacker. The biggest change in the west will be at Edmonton where the Eskimos, finishing in the basement last fall, started with a training camp roster of 60. For the first 'time since he moved to the west, Don Getty, formerly of the Western Mustangs, will be starting play caller after spend- ing many years in the shadows of Jackie Parker, now with Toronto Argos. General Manager Joe Ryan and Coach Eagle Keys have 'been doing a lot of shopping in the off-season and only brought back seven of last year's American imports. Winding up in the west, we come to the club that has been showing a lot of promise lately. Beginning their tenth season in the West- ern Conference, the British Columbia Lions under the direction of Coach Dave Skrein should be giving the other clubs a real battle for the title. The Lions, although finishing well down in the standings last year, sported three of the top offensive performers in the loop. Quarter- back Joe Kapp was the top passer, Nub Beamer was in front in the ground-gaining department and Willie Fleming tied with Ray Purdin of Sas- katchewan for the most touchdowns scored. Exeter Mohawks dropped two Huron-Perth games during the week, both on their home dia- mond, to Staffa 9-1 Thursday and to Zprich 10-8 in a short- ened contest Tuesday. In other action Staffa downed Walkerton 4-3 and Zurich 3-0. Zurich also hung up a victory over Walkerton by a 6-$ count. In a contest called after four innings because of darkness, the Lumberkings scored four times in the last inning to pull out in front. Mohawks took the lead in the opening frame with three runs. A walk to George Wright, singles by Jim Carey and Gord Strang and Bruce Horton' s double produced the opening tallies. The Kings tied the game in the second on a walk, an error and singles from the bats of Bruce Moir and Phil Overholt. A similar rally in the third put the Kings in front, A Lumberking miscue, a hit batsman, a free ticket and sing- les by John Wade and Ron Bogart put the Exeter club back in front 8-6. Two more bases on balls, a single by Earl Wagner and Moir's second single of the night produced the winning margin. Bill Shaddick hurled on the Zurich mound, while Jim Rus- sell and Ken Parker toiled for the Mohawks. PLAY SHORTHANDED Mohawks were forced to press three minors into action in order to field a club in the 9-1 loss to Staffa. Gerry Bell hurled the six inning route for the Merchants, allowing only one run, that com- ing in the first, without the aid of a hit. McNaughton and Wade were the only Exeter hitters to get to Bell for safe blows. George Coveney and Joe Lep- nicky touched Exeter hurler Glenn Bennett for circuit clouts, both coming with the bases clear. Gals capture two of three Diana Young, Grand Bend, foreground, steers her pram in the junior sailing race held at the resort Monday in conjunction with the Ontario Sailing championships. Kathy McConville in her craft, the "Rub a Dub" adjusts her sail while Bob Venton, also of Lon- don is intent on heading for the finish line in his "Kool Kat". Brian Young, a brother of Diana won the race handily with Bob, Kathy and Diana finishing in that order. Kinsmen come alive to tighten rec race Buy Your Car Now and Save at Snell's An all-star aggregation from the Huron Ladies softball league split a pair of games with the St. Marys Pullets of the Brant- Oxford ladies loop this week. In St. Marys Saturday the home team won 8-4 but at the Clinton RCAF field Wednesday, the All-Stars pulled on even terms with a ninth inning '7-6 decision. COME FROM BEHIND In Wednesday's victory the Stars took advantage of seven St. Marys errors to eke out the 7-6 come from behind win. The Pullets broke loose to score all of their runs in the second inning and take a 6-0 lead. The Huron ladies came back in their half of the second to register a single run as Ex- eter's Ann Jorgenson singled and came home on a pair of errors. Singles by Jean Taylor, Babs McGuire and Jorgenson pro- duced a pair of runs in the fifth to cut the St. Marys margin to 6-3. Single runs in each of the next two innings set the stage for the game-winning two-run rally in the ninth. Dolly Mattson's singles in each inning were the key blows in the All Stars attack, Bev Wright of Brucefield was hit by a pitched ball to start off the ninth, moved to third on Jean Taylor's single and scored on a wild pitch. Exeter's star third sacker raced home with the winning marker as Babs McGuire's fly ball was booted by a Pullet outfielder, Betty Graham, also of Bruce- field, went the nine inning dis- tance on the Huron mound and allowed only five hits after a rough second frame. In Saturday's loss, And JOr- genson drove in three of the Huron team's runs With atriple in the third.

In Blyth July 29, the Greys erupted for 16 runs in the first inning and went on to blast the Blyth girls 25-5. The following night on the Exeter diamond, the Brucefielcl girls counted five times in the third frame to account for an 8-3 victory. Wednesday night, again on their home field, the Greys counted four times in the open- ing inning and continued to score in every inning but the fourth to wrack up a 13-0 romp. Ro se C arey, in picking up the pitching victory, allowed but two well-scattered single s and struck out six. The Grey left bander faced only 26 batters in the seven-inning contest. Dolly Mattson and Jean Tay- lor supplied most of the local's batting power. Mattson slam- med two triples and a Single and Taylor whacked a round-tripper and a pair of one-baSe blows, Ann Cronyn had the distinction of reaching base safely every time up on two singles and three free passes.

The feat was accornplishedby Mrs. Neva Dyrnock, Pembroke, with whom the Doreys were playing, and it was the first ace scored by a lady golfer on the course. Newspapers, radio and TV featured the event. The ate was scored On a 150- yard hidden hole with a five iron.

NOW TO THE EAST Retirements will play havoc with Frank Clair's •plans at Ottawa. Clair, starting his eighth season at the helm of the Roughriders, is losing two of the better Canadian ends in Bobby Simp- son and Ted Smale. Also hanging up the spikes after long career is 270-pound lineman Giles Archambault. The Ottawa club, trying to rebuild, has brought in 29 American imports in an attempt to plug some of the gaps, particularly at offen- sive end. In the provincial capital, Nobby Wir- koski is moulding a band of Argonauts around the celebrated Jackie Parker that may be one of the better balanced 'teams in years. Showing that he isn't depending solely on Parker, Wirkoski used Don Fuell at quarter in exhibition contests. Parker was on the bench for most of the western trip, disappointing the fans in Calgary and Win- nipeg. Dave Mann is expected to pick up his Canadian citizenship this week, leaving room for another import, Returnees Dick Shatto and Mann along with newcomer Larry Hickman will pro- vide most of the backfield power. In a coaching switch, Jim Trimble former- ly at I-faniilton has moved 'to the Ms in Montreal and Ralph Sazio has taken over the directing chores of the Tiger Cats. Meeting for the first time in a pre-season 'affair 'Friday, Trimble's Al- louettes downed his former charges 2346. Don Clark and George Dixon will again power the Montreal offence under the direction of an 'improved Sandy Stephens. As in Ottawa, retirements appeared to have slowed down 'the Tiger Cats. A last minute decision by Kitchener 'native, Bobby Kuntz, to re- turn to active play will bolster the Tabbies' de- fensive unit. Long a mainstay in the front wall, large Vince Scott has hung up his uniform for good. Bernie Valoney and Frank Consentino will bear the brunt of the signal calling ditties. If you wish 'to attend the Grey Cup this falls only one thing is certain. The game will be played in Vancouver. Here we go with a guess: The Tiger-Oats will repeat in the east and the British Columbia Lions, living up to their po- tential for the first time in a decade, will be the Western representatives in the "world series" Of Canadian football. CHEV OLDS ENVOY CORVAIR Phone 235.0660 The championship of the rec softball loop is anybody's guess at the re o m ent because the teams are knocking each other off with regularity. Over the past week Exeter Kinsmen showed they are back in the running by shutting out Crediton 7-0 and edging the Bowling Lanes 2-1 in the best played game of the year. In other action RCAF Cen- tralia outlasted the "bowlers" in a 16-15 slugfest and Exeter Legion outscored Creditor 0-3.
