coup for Canadian International hockey when the Haggis Bashers bashed the BandyLegged Wee Laddies 127 Sunday at Canadian Forces Base Bordens Andy Anderson arena Nothe Challenge Cup that $13000 hunk of some Hockey Canada promoters scheming mind is still collecting dust in some dank trophy case in Moscow But rest assured all ye hockey faithful its still quite ob vious we can beat the Scots For now The winners tagged with the unflattering Haggis Bashers label were the CFB Borden Braves oldtimers The losers were the Scottish Oldtimers AllStars Never mind that the Scots won their first game of their Canadian Oldtimers exhibition tour 42 over Nobleton Lets forget about that one Lets forget about Nobleton We beat them okay The Base beat them and that means We beat them But theres still something wrong Something that bothered me about the way the Scots reacted to loss like that something that sur faced during the brief fl ing that followed knew what it was the way their faces lit up knew before Ron McKen zie 20yearold oldtimer who was there because NM up there arent many oldtimers in Scotland af THE HAGGIS CUP firmed my darkest horror They were learning Yes spoke McKenzie and you could see it all unfold before his eyes were learning fast the game is growing fast we like this no bodycontact and emphasis on skills He nodded trembled And Im going back to help things out to try to get this hockey going with the young lads Listen Canada Stop it already Dont tell them any more Lets build big fence around the country and yell to them that we dont know damn thing about hockey Oh but it wont do any good It wouldnt be long before some shrewd mind in Ottawa dreams up another Cup series The Haggis Cup st ON THIS DAY In 1964 two decisions knockout and technical knockout were the results of the first four bouts in the Cen tral and Southwestern Ontario Boxing Championship and Olympic Trials held at Barrie arena The only local entry in the event was Orillis Walter Henry who captured the bantamweight crown with unanimous decision over Don Ferguson of Brantford Rick Fraser now sports scribe with major Toronto tabloid was sports editor of The Examiner back then Fraser was not impressed with the turnout at the impor tant competition saying Arena manager Wes Alsopp could have put the entire crowd in his office and had room left over Barrie concluded Fraser has to be considered one of the toughest spots to promote sports What You mean theres no more boxing gttl SO THATS WHY Its always good idea to check the Winning Post Positions rundown in your raceway program before you go scampering to your lucky window with handful of curren cy Almost always The last Barrie Raceway Program breaks it all down nice and easy except the figures dont add up to 140 or the 14 cards from Jan through March 28 Unfortunately the number of races total 200 Of course it really doesnt matter unless you can calculate percentages and youre in hurry Any good racegoer surely knows that post position four wins more than 31 per cent of the time in an eighthorse field fit PLEASE BLUE PLEASE Listen dog you better be right tonight or master Don is going to seek out and open Hockey Night In Canadas Over time studio and snarl at you for whole hour with no com mercial breaks Actually dont think Boston Bruins coach Don Cherry should be consulting his bull terrier Blue in such an impor tant series In the next one maybe But not this one DONT THINK ABOUT THIS IN YOUR BACKSWING Just to make everyone feel good about their golf game let it be known that Nancy Lopez makes 30 bucks

DAVII FULLER Of The Examiner saw Helmut Balderis one of the greatest hockey players in the world get tongue lashing and have to sit on the bench once said Tom Watt coach of the University of Toronto Blues hockey team Then the Soviet coach Tikanov benched him for keeping the puck little too long The point Watt was trying to make to guests at the Barrie Minor Hockey Association annual banquet Monday was that the Soviets stress team play and give little play to the individual One of the reasons Watt says the Soviets hockey team is currently the best in the world Watt described the Soviet method of playing fiveman units and changing those units together rather than having separate forward and defensive units as in the North American Professional leagues They never emphasize the individual Watt said always the team Watt stressed three things in his prescription for the North American brand of hockey Conditioning is the number one thing he said Not everyone can be hockey player so we should be getting them to become athletes first good athlete can play any sport Watt suggested coaches and trainers try to impress on players the need to be physically fit You just cant play this game if youre not fit he said More practice ranked second in Watts list of priorities for hockey in Canada dont know if this idea is catching on Watt said but in Toronto now teams are advertising how much practice time they are offering Watt himelf level five coach said he is supporter of the National Coaches certification program Ive coached for 20 years he said and Im just now starting to learn about coaching Veteran coaches who scorn the program draw little sym pathy from Watt who also spent most of his career learning by trial and error We set rigid standards for those who teach our kids in school he said minor league coaches have just as much influence over the kids as teachers if not more Watt said coaches should learn all they can about the job of coaching in order to give the young players the undamen tal skills hockey fans now agree are lacking in Canadian hockey The facts of light OnlyTrilight has 60 calories Check the label on your light beer and see
