no longer losers
i kr.; .n Hilts
Sports Editor
It's early y. , but all indications point to the fact the
Toro Argonauts will be a better team in 1983.
In 1:;rs,1, they stumbled, bumbled and fumbled. The
ArgoNOTS were pathetic. They stunk. They resembled
an accident waiting to happen. In 1982, they switched
management, added some quality players to the lineup
and played with discipline and team spirit. The
revitalized attitude carried them into the Grey Cup
game. The team looks good in training camp and they
should make a repeat performance to La Coupe Grey.
The addition of Hank ilesic to the team gives the
Argos the number one punter in the league. flesic will
give the Argos the ultimate secret weapon on third
downs, with the ability to sprint for that first down
marker.
The Argonauts have also added Tyron Gray to their
already multi -talented receiving corps. The addition of
Gray, accompanied by the spectacular catching
abilities of Terry Greer, will give the Argos a double
decker deep threat on the outside. A surprise in this
year's Argo camp has been the fine play of import
receiver Scott McGhee. The five -foot -nine -inch
McGhee was deemed as being too small and too slow
last year by the coaching staff but, this year he is
putting that rumor to rest. Argo coaches are so im-
pressed by his play, he's in a position to take the out-
side receiver spot from Gray.
Slot backs Paul Pearson and Emmanuel Tolbert will
give the Toronto club a solid offensive attack up the
middle and will be reliable targets for quarterback
Condredge Holloway. The running back positions will
be occupied by steam -roller Bob Bonk and dipsy-
doodler Cedric Minter. This combination should create
a few headaches for opposition linebackers.
Defensively, the Argos have obtained lineman
Tyrone Keys, a tower of power, a real quarterback
masher. Ex-Ticats Leroy Paul and Zac Henderson
appear to have secured positions in the defensive
alignment. Paul is blessed with awesome speedand
anyone who follows the CFL knows that Henderson
"Zac attacks" team offences with bone crushing
tackles.
The Argos first exhibition game will be on Friday
night against division rival Hamilton Ticats. Toronto
will be tossing four quarterbacks at Harnilton, with
Holloway starting.
Watch out for those Argos, they're lookin' out for
number one! (The Ticats should be clawi,i' at 'em for
Eastern Division supremacy)

I'd like to extend a tip of my hat to an Owen Sound
based charity organization called Chadd's R & R.
This Owen Sound based charity has raised thousands
of dollars for muscular dystrophy over the past eight
years by holding a golf tournament at the Huntington
golf course, north of Toronto.
Each year over 150 competitors have joined together
to participate in this fund raising event, which is ex-
pected to raise over $30,000 this year.
Efforts like this one, give us hope that some day a
cure for muscular dystrophy will be found.

Haily Gully - A successful fa
y R :' Hilts
Prior to 1970 he had never
rides a snowmobile. Prior to
1973 he had never mounted a
motocross bike. Today, 10
years later, Randy Collins
and his family have built one
of the most successful
motorcycle and snowmobile
dealerships in Ontario.
The successful story
behind Hully Gully didn't
happen overnight, it took
many years of devotion and
a real family effort.
"When we started, we had
distinct goals to develop to
be the best at what we were
doing. We found ourselves
working about 90 hours a
week. Back then we were
forced to work those hours
because of the sheer
economics of it all," said
Randy.
Prior to 1972, Randy
Collins and his wife Audrey
farmed at their present
Varna location, raising
registered Holstein cattle. It
was from here that the name
"Hully Gully" was born.
According to Ran-
dy,"Hully Gully" was the
registered name that was
chosen as a prefix for their
five registered Holsteins.
Where did the idea of
turning their farm into a
thriving snowmobile and
motorcycle dealership
materialize from?
"Well, we are originally
from Essex County where
they don't get half the snow
that there is in Huron
County. When we first came
here, we couldn't believe
how much more snow there
was. We decided to turn
something negative into
something positive," said
Randy with a grin.
Randy's motto, "a winner
never quits and a quitter
never wins" exemplifies
Holly Gully's business at-
titude.
In 1978-79, Hully Gully was'
the largest Arctic Cat dealer
in Canada. They held that
honor until 1980-81, when
Arctic Cat went bankrupt.
Hully Gully has won
numerous other awards
including the latest, the
Canadian Motorcycle
Association Organizer's
Award for Event of the Year
in 1982. Last year Hully
Gully hosted the 1982 J unior-
School boy Motocross
National Championship.
Because of the success of
last year's event, Hully
Gully has chosen to host the
Senior Motocross Cham-
pionships to be held July 9
and 10. ABC's Wide World of
Sports television cameras
will be on hand to cover the
event, the most prestigious
in Canadian Motocross
Racing.
Randy Collins stresses
that the success and
progress Hully Gully has
made over the years has
been a family effort.
Randy's wife Audrey is
Hully Gully's secretary -
treasurer. She is also a
competitive snowmobile
racer.

room featuring a number of

"The three-wheelers are
almost like another business.
They're an important part of

they've been a bit of a savior
because of the bad winter we
had for snowniobiling,"
Randy said.
Nineteen full time em-
ployees are on hand at Hully

department, ranging from
sales to service and racing.
-We've never stopped
appreciating the support of

In an effort to bring more
local racers into Hully Gully,
a house league program was
set up three years ago. The
program gives amateurs a
chance to gain racing ex-

"minor hockey and baseball
