The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1969-12-11, Page 8Page 8 Times-Advocate, December 11, 1969 FOR ALL. GOOD SPORTS By Ross Haugh Wrestling tips A very successful wrestling tournament was held at South Huron District High School Friday afternoon and evening of last week. In a four-team event, the local grapplers coached by Doug Ellison and Jack Riddell fared very well finishing second against three strong clubs, two from much larger communities. Waterloo Collegiate were the champions with a total of 89 points, only five more than the South Huron boys. Listowel finished third with 70 points and St. Jerome's of Kitchener placed fourth with 68 points to their credit. This type of wrestling is a real test of strength and skill and is in complete contrast to the wrestling 'shows' seen on television. In order to familiarize our readers with true amateur wrestling we will pass along some information that was included in a pamphlet handed out at Friday's local meet at the high school. Every match has three periods of two minutes duration each unless the bout is won by a pin in a shorter time. To open a match, the wrestlers start from a neutral standing position after shaking hands. Each wrestler tries to gain control of his opponent and take him to the mat with a takedown. On a successful takedown, the referee will signal two points with his right hand, usually the first points handed out in a match. After the initial takedown, the defensive or down wrestler is trying to escape or reverse his position while the offensive or top wrestler tries to stay on top and secure a hold with which he can keep his opponent's shoulder blades on the mat for two seconds for a fall or pin to end the match. If the match is not won by a pin, the referee wards the bout to the boy who has accumulated the greatest number of mat points. The following point system is used to determine the winner of a match. Takedown Two points are awarded when a wrestler takes his opponent to the mat and stays behind him in control. Escape — One point is awarded if the down wrestler can get into a neutral position or away from the control of the offensive man. Reversal — Two points are awarded for getting out from underneath and moving to a position of control on top of the opponent. Near fall — Three points are awarded for holding opponent's shoulders on or near the mat but neither close or long enough for a fall or pin. Predicament — Two points for controlling the opponent in a pinning situation and a fall or near fall is imminent. Stalling One point is given to the non-offender when his opponent fails to make an honest attempt to wrestle. Illegal holds — One point is awarded to the non-offending wrestler, It is essential to keep at least one eye on the referee as the match progresses. He awards points as the action continues by holding up the fingers of his right hand to inform the official scorer. A Bunch Of Veterans The saying that 'life begins at forty' is being borne out quite well this year by quite a few players in the National Hockey league that have reached the 40 mark or are very close. Gordie Howe is, of course, the oldest competitor at 41. A pair of goal tenders Jacques Plante and Gump Worsley are next at 40 while Terry Sawchuck and Tim Horton are each 39. - Next in line come Jean Belliveau and Jim Morrison at 38 and Alex Delvecchio, Gerry Ehman, Leo Boivin, Ron Stewart, Don Marshall, Dean Prentice, Al Arbour and Jean--Guy Talbot at 37. . The expansion clubs have the oldest and youngest teams in the NHL. The St. Louis Blues are the oldest club with an average age of 29.8 years, a full year older than the second oldest Pittsburgh Penguins. The Los Angeles Kings are the youngest with an average of 27 years.
