Rumours, rumours
1 ought to dispel a rumour which seems to be floating through the
sporting community regarding team pictures. Rumour has it that
the Times -Advocate is adopting an all-new policy for the sports sec-
tion which banishes team pictures from its pages forever.
No more smiling champions, no more trophy holders.
Well, for those of you who missed the four pages filled with no
Tess than 31 pictures of bowling champions in last week's issue,
there is no such policy.
I took a quick glance through last month's papers and found that
there were 24 team or trophy pictures published in the T -A in April.
In March, 19 such photos went in.
In intensifying sports coverage I have tried to come up with a de-
cent blend of team photos and action shots which tell the story I am
trying to tell. Because it would be impossible to squeeze all the rec-
reational happenings in this community onto. four sports pages every
week, I have to make decisions regarding the layout and content of
the section. If I have several tearu photos for that week, i'll look for
an action shot or two to balance things out. If a visually interesting
sport such as volleyball is being playr.d I try to get an interesting
picture (I emphasize the word try. Action shots arc unpredictable and
difficult to get. In fact, I have taken several action shots of my
thumb).
If the subjects of the photo arc children, I usually use a team pic-
ture. It has been my experience that kids get a big charge out of see-
ing their face in the paper, while adults are sometimes hesitant about
the whole process.
-That is the basic policy which I have followed since 1 came to the
T -A. Nothing has changed, so rest easy.
Deterioration
It became obvious to me this week that the NHL doesn't want to
remove violence from the game of hockey. The organization blatant-
ly proved Sunday night -that its main concern is money.
Allowing New Jersey Devils and Boston Bruins to play a playoff
game with amateur officials after the pros walked off the ice; after
the Devils organization laughed in the face of league authority,
showed the NHL's true colours.
Those colours correspond to the colour of currency, depending on
which side of the border you're on at the time.
The NHL has had ample opportunity this season to stop major
stick infractions -- cross checks across the face, hooking that makes
the movie Slapshot look like a modest fairy tale, goaltending butch -
cry -- but they have repeatedly handed out token fines and suspen-
sions.
Making an example,ofDevils' coach .Jim-Schoenfeld_(who_vcrbalIy
if not physically assaulted referee Don Koharski after game three of
the best -of -seven series between New Jersey and Boston) would go a
long way to cut down on the boring crap that is shoveled onto the
ice by so many belligerent coaches, managers and players in the
NHL.
But it occurs to me that the NI IL doesn't want to rcmovc the vio-
lence from the ice or the belligerence from the bench.
It sells tickets and that, not the quality of the gaine, is the bottom
line.
Women's challenge
If you'rc an athletic female and ten years or older, you're eligible to
compete in the 11th annual Colgate Women's Games.
The Games will be held June 11-12 at the Metropolitan Toronto
Track and Field Centre at York University.
The two day event, subdivided into four different age categories, at-
tracts roughly 2,000 entries each year. There is no entry fee because
Colgate-Palmolive underwrites all costs for the event. Athletes re-
ceive tee shirts for entering and those who place in the top three get
"financial assistance to encourage young women athletes to continue
to expand their knowledge in the activity of their choice".
An interesting note about these games: 83 percent -of Canada's fe-
male track and field team which participated in the 1984 Olympics
had participated in the Colgate Women's Games at least once.
If you're interested in attending the Gamcs, further information is
available at local schools and track clubs as well as the T -A.
The deadline for registration is May 17.
