SATHER COMMENTS
Oilers' general manager
Glen Sather said Boyd stood
a good chance at making his
young and fast NHL team
this season, when inter-
viewed by CP after he
signed.
But he's deep at centre, so

onal Junior wing is possible.

e "Boyd played right wing in
r the world junior," Sather
a said. "He's going to be a
good, solid two-way player
in the NHL. He's got a great
auitudo."
"He's got
ritten all
over him. He'scaptain
that, kind of
player."
Devereaux played a couple

200m individual medley

"Kristy trained the last.
month almost entirely on her

of Egmondville says in a
press release. "No team-
mates makes training a little
harder and a lot less enjoy-
able."
Both Christy and coach
Kendra travelled to the
Brandon games courtesy of

Caddy gets
Doig booted
BY GREGOR CAMPBELL
Expositor Staff
Seaforth's Ken Doig
didn't cheat last Tuesday
get disqualified in the sec
round of the Ontario G
Association 1997 sen
championship at Spri
Lakes Golf Club
Stouffville.
He got kicked out becau
he used a caddy.
Real people aren't allowed
as caddies at the province's
senior championship these
days - "Course Rule!
Apparently the old fogies are
supposed to use the once -
frowned -on -for -being -envi-
ronmentally -unfriendly elec-
tric golf carts.
For an old guy, Ken Sr. still
looked like he was itching
and able to take a few good
rounds out of someone late
last week - and we're not
talking golf!
He was hot to talk.
"It's the principal of the
thing," he fumed. "They
(OGA) haven't heard the end
of this.
"Someone could end up
with egg all over, just swim-
ming in eggs."
This Ken is 69 and has won
more trophies golfing than
you can shake a stick at,
since back when Moby Dick
was a minnow.
He says he had long since
officially entered this year's
tourney before he found out
about any course rule about
carts over caddies at
Stoufville, where the seniors
tournament is now held regu-
larly because the golf associ-
ation gets it for free.
It was the wife of the guy
who runs the golf club who
lowered the boom. The asso-
ciation backed her, Ken says. s

But they hadn't "seen noth-

Lindsay McEwin of the
Seaforth Golf and County

back to win by four in the
second and final 18 holes at
the Canadian Optimist Junior
National championship, for
girls 14 or 15 -years -old, at
the Ingersoll Golf and 0
Country Club, on Tuesday. Ju
The eight -shot swing came w
by virtue of shooting an 81 in ar
the final round of the two-day ins
tournament at the par 72 Ph
course. McEwin's 86 in the co
opening round left her four M
shots back of Jacklyn abo
Saunders of Bright's Grove. on
She pulled even with son
aunders after 11 holes on cou
he second day, and the two oth
re neck and neck for the stu
xt couple until the Bright's been
rove golfer's game fell three

"Puttin d

greens weresreally fast," the
l5 -year-old from Bayfield
who is going into Grade 10 at

month says.
Saunders finished at 171,
and McEwin at 167.

the Seaforth course for the
first time, she trailed the

BIG IMPROVEMENT
That first time round in the
provincials she had rounds of
115,113 and 111. As a mea-
ure of her improvement, last
month when she finished

rounds went 89, 89 and 90.
Her game hasn't been hurt
