Page 10-Oakville Beaver, Wed., Nov. 4, 1964 m i ft«g«rs Reporting : Our Hockey Club The Oakville team that holds third place in the Senior O.H.A. and the Oakville team which I saw at the Arena Sunday night could not be the same hockey club. According to the re­ cords, the Oakville Oaks have lost three of its six games including a 13-1 massacre at the hands of Guelph. Sunday' s 4-1 win over Woodstock was good enough to make me feel that Oaks are going to have a lofty position in the final league stand­ ings. With NormSibbick and Moe Galland back in Oaks uniforms the team looks set for a bruising campaign. Oaks will get a chance this Sunday to prove they are better than the re­ cord shows when they meet Guelph here. After last Sunday' s perform­ ance 1,000 home spec­ tators are probably won­ dering if our Oaks are as powerful as they appeared. In that game, Wood- stock - league champs last year - just got onto the score sheet. Ron Ryan beat freshman goalie BillMoxonatl7.- 41 of the final period to prevent a shutout. Until that point the Oaks had really barred the door with some enthusiastic back checking and good defensive work. Oaks have a reliable foursome patrolling the blueline this year . Mucker Milne and coach Billy Ford are a pair while veteran N.H.L. star Gus Mortson and young Wayne Mayhew form the other team. Sunday they protected goalie Moxon well but when W oodstock did manage good shots he came up with some fine saves. Sunday' s g ame had been a low scoring effort as Oaks led 2-0 with only four minutes left. That' s when Bob Bishop scored from in close after pas­ ses from Mayhew and Bob Hawkins. Ron Ryan came back with his goal at 17:41 to make it 3-1 and 25 se­ conds later Bob Bishop took a loose puck at cen­ tre ice and roared in to score the final goal of the game. It was Bishop' s sec­ ond goal of the night although he missed on two other clean break­ aways. Combined with his aggressive checking Bishop looked like the best man on the ice. Bob Hawkins got Oaks' lone first period marker just five seconds before Interest In Ski Equipment the end of the period. He also got a clean break from centre racing in and placed a puck into the lower corner of the net. Moe Galland cele­ brated his return as an Oak by getting one goal and coming close on an­ other. His marker came from comparatively long range hitting from about 50 feet out with a sudden shot that found its mark high in the mesh. So now Oaks have lost games to Guelph by 12 goals, Welland by one goal, and Woodstock by one goal. Oaks have since defeated Wood- stock and Welland. Let' s have another go at Guelph! Decisions! Decisions!! This is what confronts to-day' s skiers. They have more alternatives than any other sports­ man. Not only do they have a wide variety of e qu ipmen t to choose from but they also have the task of what to wear, When these d e c i s i ons have been made they then have the problem of finding the best skiing areas. In the process of find­ ing the proper equipment c l o t h i n g , and ski loc­ ations ----enthusiasts are suddenly chopped in­ to three categories, nov­ ices, intermediates and experts thus setting up an immediate multiple choice. To make m a t t e r s worse there are differ­ ences of opinions among the so-called experts. Fortunately there are some basic beliefs in skiing that can help you get started. First get the best pair of boots you can afford. Boots are like the steering wheel of your car and the better the boots the better the control you will have over your skis. Beginners hesitate to buy a good boot because they are stiff but these will break in and offer better control and pro­ tection over a longer period of time. Although not necessarily an ex­ pert item many more of the advanced skiers will be appearing with the new buckle boots on the slopes this year. Buckle boots g e n e r ­ ally run well above the $50 mark and are much easier to get on and off. In general the old rule applies----a boot should be snug especially ar­ ound the heel and ankle. Skis are not the next item on the list as many n e w c o m e r s to skiing might expect. Harnesses that fit the boot to the ski are next and many people a c t u a l l y rank them ahead of the boots. When talking harnesses ----release bindings is the thing today. Not too many years ago the ski­ er was p r a c t i c a l l y nailed to his skis. With release bindings a hard thrust forwards or side­ ways releases your boot from the ski. Don ' t worry about losing your skis, h o w e v e r , they c om e with runaway straps connected to your boot to prevent the skis from getting away from you. Release o r s a f e t y bindings are numerous. Many novices and inter­ mediates use binding's with a swivel toe release and a front cable with a release as well. In­ termediates and experts often ski with a safety toe and spring heel ar- r a n g e m e n t . The turn­ table is used almost ex­ clusively by the advanced, skier. It has a toe re­ lease but the heel is anchored down prevent­ ing forward release. Most beginners use l a m i n a t e d wood skis with m o r e and mor e hickory introduced as the price goes up. Many intermediates have been m ov i n g into m e t a 1 lie skis in the past few years since they are easier to ski on and also have dropped well below the $100 mark. The experts who have had their turn on metallics are now starting to lean towards fiberglass skis. Shorter skis are eas­ ier to learn on and many pros s ugge s t starting with skis y ou r own height. Later beginners can switch to skis that come up to their wrists when arms are extended. For financial reasons beginners refuse to buy two sets of skis. ASSISTANT COACHES Willie McKay and George Cooke chat with coach Bob McKay at the Colts pre-game meeting at the Royal Oak Hotel. Colts Hungry For Win Oakville Colts coach Bob McKay returned to the practice field this week to begin final pre­ parations in his quest to gain his second Tor­ onto and District Juven­ ile Football L e a g u e championship. The Colts finished in first place and have been idle for a week while the semi-finalists were vying for second spot. Toronto Westsides came up with the win. McKay has three tough workouts scheduled for this week to get his squad ready for the first game of the two game total point finals which open Saturday in Toronto. The first game will be p l a y ed at Keelesdale Parkat 2p.m. The West- sides will v i s i t the Bronte Athletic Field for the second game of the set Nov. 15. That game also gets underway at 2 p.m. Westsides who ate coached by former Colt line coach Skip Smith have given Colts the stif- fest opposition this year.
