od's Report o Sports
ruiiis over Isles
Oilers ver H.1w s
By ,r Hilts
Sports Editor
The countdown to the Stanley Cup Final is on with
only four teams left in contention for the coveted
Stanley Cup.
Rod's Report on Sports is presently 10-2 in the
prediction department and as 1 stated before the
playoffs started, the Bruins are my pick to win it all.
1'l1 admit I was worried when the Buffalo Sabres
took the final game of the series into overtime, but the
Bruins' home ice turned out to be a definite advantage
in the end.
As predicted by nearly everyone, the Oilers
smothered the Flames in five games with little dif-
ficulty. Talent gut the best of Calgary, especially with
60 goal scorer Lanny McDonald on the limp.
Minnesota perforrried poorly in their series against
the Black Hawks, probably because the Leafs took
most of the starch out of them in their last series. I
guess Lou Nanny didn't stir up the excitement behind
the bench that he had anticipated.
Oilers vs. Black Hawks - If the Black Hawks can stop
the Oiler fire power with 39 year-old Tony 0 in the net,
I'II be surprised. After destroying the Flames with
their potent offense, I'Il have to say Edmonton in six.
Chicago has a goo squad but their goaltending is
suspect. If Moog does his job the Oilers should come
out on top.
Iii the battle of Broadway the boys from Long Island
came out on top despite a strong effort from the
Rangers. The Rangers were simply outclassed by a
superior crew of hockey players. Goaltender Ed Mio
will probably earn himself a juicy contract because of
the fine effort he displayed during the series.
New York Islanders vs. Boston Bruins - As far as I'm
concerned this should be the Stanley Cup final. Both of
these teams are worthy of the title. The Bruins should
take this series in seven games. Look for a real dog
fight.

Turning to the International hockey scene Team
Canada is closing in on a berth in the medal round of
the world hockey championships.
Last year the Canadians were denied the silver
medal because of a 0-0 tie between the Czechs and the
Russians. It seemed obvious that the game was thrown
so that the Canadians would be short changed.
This year, barring any hanky panky by tournament
officials, Team Canada should come away with a good
shot at a medal.

On J une 19 the Clinton
Raceway will be off and
running fur another season.
According to Raceway
Chairman B.11 Fleming
approximately $14,000 profit
was made last season.
'flus year the raceway is
expected to make sortie
track improvements. In the
past the raceway has
received some complaints
about dust from the track on
race days and from the
regular training of horses.
"We are hampered in dust
'mtroll because we fill our
water truck by opening a fire
hydrant. at the high school on
race dates We have no
appropriate way of filling the
truck at the track un a daily
basis. We are examining the
feasibility of bringing a large
water main into the track
erea," said Mr. Fleming.
Mr F lenung also said they
are thinking of the possibility
uf establishing tri -actor
betting at the track.
• 'We are considering the
move. This may involve an
upgrading and widening of
the track." Mr Fleming
reported.
To establish tri -actor
betting at the raceway catch
basins should be installed to
utiprove drainage.
Repairs needed
Accorduig to the raceway
chairman the track is also in
need uf some other repairs.
The hub rail and tote board
