Computerized. shoes
It truly is the age of computers. School
grades are calculated' on the devices, they
keep your bank account up-to-date and the
words on your weekly paper have been pro-
cessed through a computer. In the sporting
•
field, results from races are punched into
computers and an electronic eye helps line
judges in tennis.
And now there is computer equipment to
help joggers. T'hey're called computer runn-
ing shoes.
No need for log books to help a runner
determine the distant or speed of a run. No
need to double check calculations. Simply
hook the shoe to a display unit.
So far Adidas and Puma are the only two
companies with the computerized shoe, but
it will only be a matter of time before other
companies produce shoes with the same
idea.
Both shoes perform the same basic func-
tions - measure the distance of the run, the
time, average speed and caloric consump-
tion - but provide different options.
The $300 Puma RS Electronic includes the
software which can be hooked up to a home
computer. The computer device is located
on an extension of the heel and is removable
so it can easily.•be plugged into a computer.
The program then records the data and
shows a graph and printed record.
From the stnds
The $180 Adidas Micro Pacer is activated
by buttons on the display unit built into the
tongue of the shoe. The advantage of this
model is the fact that the information is im-
mediately available.
Some pre-programming is necessary for
both shoes but is very basic. The runner's
average stride and body weight are all that
is needed.
How is all this information obtained by the
computer? A computer chip sensing device
is built into the push -off area in front .of the
ball of the foot, therefore working by contact
pressure. This information is then
transferred to the computer mechanisms in
the shoe. The serious runner may wonder
if the weight of the gadget in the one shoe
( left shoe in both cases) makes it uneven for
running, According to an article in Sporting
Goods Review, the one in the Puma shoe
weighs 30 grams and if you remove the cdm-

puter board from the Adidas shoe and "hold
it in the palm of your hand, it's so light It's
not noticeable."
To offset the slight v. eight difference, both
companies have pru. •ided compartments on
the right shoe in the same place. They sug-
gest the runner carry keys or put some
change in the compartments.
As you can probably guess, these com-
puterized shoes are not for everyone. :.S
Puma U.S. running shoe product manage
Paul Oparowsky says, "It's for the in-
dividual who happens to have a home com-
puter and is lookingo have a very accurate
tally of his or her mileage, and keep track of
it over a period of years."
If you fall under this description, you'll
have to wait unit September before you can
pick up your Adidas Micro Pacer or next
spring if you prefer the Puma RS Elec-
tronic.
Clinton Optimist President Tom McMahon presented John Preston of the Clinton Minor
Soccer League with a cheque for $200. The money will be put towards uniforms and sup-
plies for the Squirt team.

CLINTON - Clinton horsemen Larry Daw
and Wayne Dupee were the top local win-
ners in front of a crowd9500 cheering fans
on July 14, as brilliant Amshine, pleasant
breezes, a fast track and a handle of $70,541
all combined to make the meet's sixth day of
racing picture perfect.
Daw's mare, Tar Daw Duchess, turned in
her best time of the season to win the eighth
race handily in 2:04 3/5 for trainer/driver
• Randy McLean of Goderich. This was the
Native Bomber -Maisie Bell six-year-old
mare's sixth trip into the money in her last,
seven starts, five of those in Clinton, for a
lifetime bankroll of more than $24,000.
Also in the eighth, Clinton trainer/driver
Wayne Dupee piloted Larry Henderson's
mare Betty McNeil home in second place, to
give fans.a hefty $63.60 payoff on the Exac-
tor; while Tar Daw Duchess, Betty McNeil
,and E.P.'s Connie combined to return a
whopping $487,20 for a $2 bill in the Triactor.
The second place trip in the eighth was ic-
ing on the cake for Dupee, who had, already
confirmed his status near the top of the
driver/trainer charts by posing a win with
another Henderson speedster, Miss Krista
Hal in the third race, and again with his own
gallant 'mare, Poppy Love, in the sixth.
Scoring from the eight -hole, Poppy Love
ti'.i1ed the leader Don't Cry all the way
around until she gained an outside lead at
the final turn and won going away in 2;06
2/5.
Other Clinton horses on the card were
Hoot and Lois Gibbings' Harlo Candy,
Charlie Brandon's General Strike, Dennis
Jew•itt's D.A. Dariel and Shane Durnin's
Harry's Choice. Trained and driven by G•ib-
bings, Harlo Candy went off as the favorite
after her 2:07 3/5 win here last week, but.
was parked three wide at the half and never
recovered, finishing sixth in 2:08, a new
record for race winner Sueliss.
'In the second race, the ddy's secondary
feature, a $1,200 preferred pace, General
Strike stayed with the pack under the
guidance of Wayne Langille to finish fourth
in a rush to the wire in 2:03 3/5, despite in-
terference from Clarence Young's Wind-
screen at the far turn coming home; while
Harry's Choice, driven by John Muir, finish-
ed fifth in the eleventh race, outpaced at
2:02 4/5, after two wins here June 23 and Ju -
1y14: '
Dennis Jewitt's exciting two-year-old
Springfield -Belle Dariel colt D.A. Daiel,
with Ross Battin on the bike in the eleventh,
challenged all the way, making•his move at
the halftofinish second in a neck -and -neck
drive to the wire with Willvan Duke, who
won by a whisker in 2:02 4/5. Jewitt himself
