Clinton News-Record, 1983-09-21, Page 19PAGE 18-CLINTON NEWS -RECORD. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1983 Rod's Report o , Spits nests tamed by Argo whip By Rod Hilts Sports Editor Beaten into the ground. That pretty well sums up the 50-16 pounding the Hamilton Ticats absorbed last weekend from the Toronto Argonauts. Oh where, oh where was the Hamilton defense hiding? Rod's Report on Sports stated that the Ticats would win by seven in a high -scoring contest. It was high scoring all right, but Hamilton's offense was non- existent. Holloway all the way Condredge Holloway sparkled against the 'Cats as he was 17 for 26 in the passing department, good for 381 yards and three touchdowns. Holloway also ran for a major on what he later described as a "broken play." Holloway is probably the best quarterback in the Eastern Division if not the entire CFL. Fernandez ignites Lions Mervyn Fernandez proved to be the difference against the Concordes as he gathered in three touch- down passes en route to victory. B.C.'s win halted a two game losing streak. Most thought the Lions were in their mid-season slid but that idea can be put to rest. Calgary came close but no cigar A late game surge by the Calgary Stampeders fell short as a pass into the end zone was batted down, allowing the Brockless Bombers to beat the Stamps 19- 14. Another one of my predictions that "almost made it." The loss dropped the Stamps to fourth place in the Western Division, two points behind Winnipeg and Edmonton, and four points ahead of the cellar -dwelling Saskatchewan Roughriders. Edmonton tames the Roughriders For the second consecutive week the Eskies have destroyed their opposition. After coming off a 30 -point victory over Hamilton two weeks ago, the Edmonton squad continued their super -powered offensive display over a mismatched Saskatchewan crew. • Rod's Report on Sports is currently 23-17 in the prediction department. This week's match -ups should be interesting. Calgary at Toronto There's no doubt about it, the Argos are the hottest team in the CFL. Calgary has a good squad this year, but realistically shouldn't come close tq Toronto in this one. Argos by 15, Saskatchewan at Winnipeg If Saskatchewan wants to remain in the playoff race, this game is a must win. Personally I don't think they can beat the Bombers. With or without faithful fans, Winnipeg will win. Bombers by 10 Hamilton at Ottawa Ottawa should be ready for this game, a chance for them to move into a second place tie with Hamilton. Who knows what's going through the Ticat players' minds now? One hundred points allowed by their defense in two games-. Ottawa should be starting their late season surge soon. Ottawa by five Edmonton at B.C. 'Last time these teams met in Edmonton, B.C. clobbered the Eskies. This season, however, Edmonton has played better on the road. This should be a closer game. I have to go with the Lions in this one. Lions by seven It was announced at press time that the Hamilton Ticats have traded quarterback Tom Clements tobthe Winnipeg Blue Bombers in exchange for quarterback Dieter Brock. The deal could be turned down if Clements decides he doesn't want to go to Winnipeg or if he confirms rumors that he may retire at the end of the season. The trade could also involve another consideration or two. If the ileal goes through, it could be a real steal for the Ticats. )I Trainer needed Clinton Junior C Mustangs Manager Wayne Wiggins has informed me the club is looking for a volunteer trainer. The volunteer should have a good knowledge of first aid and should also know how to sharpen skates and tape sticks. School for adults SEAFORTH - Six mature students registered for high school in Seaforth this fall. The adult students are at- tending classes at the Seaforth District High School ( SDHS) . Because SDHS is on a semester system, it's flexible and an adult student could have four high school credits by January or eight by June, explained principal Harry Scott. It takes a total of 27 credits to earn a Grade 12 diploma. There are no minimum qualifications for adults students and Mr. Scott ex- plained that adult students can work at various levels and at various times of the year. For instance, an adult who's busy this time of year can start high school courses in .January. One adult student is studying typing from Sept. to .Jan. and second typing in the second semester, in an effort to obtain two years of typing in one year. Adults take classes with younger SDHS students and Mr. Scott says they are a good influence on the teenagers. t lose' t n/(f ust r j',n re to By Rod Hilts The .Clinton Junior C Mustangs are 1-3 in their first four exhibition games, two of which were played against a Junior B club. On Sept. 14 the Mustangs travelled to St. Marys and were beaten 7-2 by the Junior B Lincolns. Mustang Manager Wayne Wiggins said the boys were psyched out by the fact they were playing a higher ranked team. On Sept. 17, the same teams faced each other in Huron Park with St. Marys claiming a 20-1 victory. Clinton faced -off against the Norwich Junior C's in Woodstock on Sept. 16 and skated away with a 4-3 win. The victory was especially gratifying for the Mustangs as it marked the first time in three years they have beaten Norwich. On Sept. 18, a weary Clinton crew travelled to Southampton and were Figure skating registration to be held The first executive meeting was held September 15 - to organize upcoming events for the Clinton Figure Skating Club.

As in previous years, there will be classes for beginners, juniors, intermediates and seniors. If there are enough skaters interested in joining the precision team, there is a possibility there will be a novice team as well .as a junior precision team. Again this year there will be a separate class for preschool childreu. The day and time for "tots" skating is Monday, from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. The proposed ice schedule is as follows: Saturdays, 8:00 a.m. - seniors; 9:40 a.m. - beginners and juniors: 10:40 a.m. - precision teams; 11:10 a.m. - flood; 11:20 a.m- - in- termediates.

If you have equipment to sell, label it with your name and the price you want and drop it off at the arena September 30 after 77:00p.m. Plans are also underway for an "Old Fashioned" Hallowe'en Family Fun Night on October 29. It pro- mises to be a great night for the whole family, so be sure to watch for further details. The key members in this year's executive are: presi- dent, Carol Fox; vice- presidents, Mary Jean Glew and Joan Merner; secretary, Linda Reid; treasurer, Vicki Colquhoun; chess chairman, Norma Preszcator; and director of precision teams, Marg Draper. Fish contest still on After 25 years, the "Molson" Big Fish Contest is more popular than ever. With just three months left in the 1983 contest, entries con- tinue to pour in. The com- petition in the nine regular "catch and keep" categories is steady, but in the nine new "catch and release" groups, the field is wide open. Contest hopefuls should give serious consideration to entering a "live release" fish because the prizes 'are identical to the "keep" class, with only a handful of en- trants to date. The "live release" category offers anglers the opportunity to practice a different con- servation technique and join in the fun, a combination which the Ontario Federa- tion of Anglers and Hunters promotes. • The top 15 entrants in each of the 18 categories win a Mitchell rod and reel, and to date .it looks like every con- testant in the nine "live release" categories may be a winner! The top entry in each category also wins an Evinrude electric trolling motor, and $150 in cash from Molson's. Second and third place entries win $100 and $50 respectively, plus the rod and reel. Each entry that reaches 'f urn to page 19 Police tourney held The third annual Clinton Police Golf Tournament raised $1,625 for the Clinton Hospital. More than 100 golfers took part in the Sept. 11 tour- nament, held at the Bluewater Golf Course at Bayfield. The day included early morning breakfast and a steak barbecue supper.

Wiggins said the team was tired as it was their third game in as many nights. To make matters worse, Clinton could only dress 14 players, most of them rookies. University commitments by some of the veteran players limited the Mustang roster. Coach Jim Nigro said the losses to St. Marys didn't surprise him. "We expected to get bombed by St. Marys. They've got a good Junior B club," said Nigro. The Mustangs have six players returning from last year's team. They include team captain Jim Fritzley, right-winger Brent Daw, defenseman Tony Gibbings, centre Brian Horner, left- winger Larry Boyce and right-winger Brad Hymers. Shawn Van Dongen, a defenseman with the club last seson is trying out with the Elmira Junior B Sugar Kings. ould Van Dongen fail to crack the Sugar King roster, he may join the Mustangs. Greg Flowers, a centreman last season, is trying out for Streetsville, another Junior B squad. Flowers may also join the Mustangs if he does not make Streetsville. Coach Jim Nigro said one of the main areas of concern for, this year's club is to reduce the number of goals against. Last year the Mustangs allowed 146 goals, an average of 4.87 a game. Clinton had the third highest goals against average in the six team league. He said the club will go with two rookie netminders this season. Pat Cronin, a product of the Blyth Minor Hockey system and Tim Bean from Goderich will be the goaltenders. Nigro said the club will have 11 rookies on the roster. Presently, the team is down to 30 players after last week's cut saw 10 players released. Twenty-five players is the maximum any team may sign. More cuts are expected to be made next week. Nigro said the sponsorship of the Stratford Juveniles this year by the Stratford Junior B Cullitons, definitely decreased the number of prospects attending the Clinton training camp. The juvenile team will act as a farm club for the Cullitons. Nigro said that Clinton Minor Hockey is going to have a juvenile squad this year. Despite the rookie -loaded roster that Nigro is working with, he is optimistic about his team's chances this season. "If we get some of our veteran players back, we should be as good or possibly even better than last year," he said.
