.5.-,. 22 - The Canadian Champion, Friday June 12, 1998 THE CANADIAN CHAMPION FRIDAY, JUNE12,1998 Bants still unbeaten The Milton bantam lacrosse team's unbeaten record remains intact following a 3-3 stalemate with Guelph Monday evening at Tonelli Arena. Jordan Lumb was highly impressive in the cage but couldn't stop the visiting Regals from knotting the score on a last- minute powerplay. Milton held the lead for most of the con- test - thanks to scoring by James McIntosh, Rick Gallinger and Matt Decaire - and smothered Guelph's offen- sive efforts until the final frame. Big contributions in this department came from Ian Robertson and Jordan Gunter, who was tenacious in retrieving loose balls. Kevin Corbin picked up two assists. The draw followed a 10-1 drubbing the Mavericks laid on Wallaceburg Saturday at Thompson Arena. Once again Lumb held down the fort. Leading the bit parade with four goals was Kyle Goertz with Gallinger and Derek Blanchard each tallying twice. Michael Novak and Craig Hodgson chipped in singles while Adam Rutz tumed in a robust two-way performance. The back-to-back home games served as a good tune-up for this weekend's Milton Tournament. Standing between the ban- tam team and the title are Barrie, Brantford, Caledon, Gloucester and Nepean.

Pro golfer Dawn Coe-Jones, who put on a clinic at Milton's in some quarters to do so, with officials worrying that given the Granite Ridge earlier this week, doesn't believe regulatory bodies abilities of today's pros and their access to sophisticated clubs, should impose limits on golf club technology. There is a move afoot certain courses are becoming obsolete. Photo by GRAHAM PAINE New tools, enhanced performance part of the game, By STEVE LeBLANC The Champion To those golf traditionalists who would ban newly enhanced equipment from the professional ranks, Dawn Coe- Jones has just one word. Why? "That would be my question to people who want to slow down the Tiger Woods and Lorie Kanes, what's the point?" remarked Coe-Jones, one of Canada's most successful female players. "Sure the pros are hitting the bail farther these days but that's part of the game's growth, and it's not like we're making 500-yard shots because of these advancements." The LPGA veteran suggests that making more difficult courses - not banning certain types of clubs - is the answer to challenging top golfers. "I sure hope they (the USGA) don't make these kind of restrictions because the new clubs have certainly made my game better." These comments came Monday at Milton's Granite Ridge Golf Club where she was the guest speaker at a pre-toumament clinic.
