SH NAPOOY Madina = PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, April 11, 1979 -- 21 Soccer gets financial shot in arm While the soccer season may yet be several weeks off, the Scugog Association already has more than 200 youngsters signed to play, and many of them took part in an indoor clinic held last Thursday night at the Port Perry High School. The clinic stressed basic soccer skills. Port Basketball Players Named to All-Star squad by Danny Millar Two members of the Port Perry High School senior team have been named to the Durham Region All-Star basketball squad.

Each coach from the 11 schools were given one ballet and were requested to name up to ten athletes. The coaches were prohibited from selecting from their own team. The names were given to convenor Mike Brusseau. : Port Perry Coach Arend Dekker maintains that the system is a fair one - as long as each coach gets an oppor- tunity to see every player on every team. "I'm a little leery of picking All-Stars in a team sport because it is often the unsung player who gets overlooked," he explained, adding that "I would have to agree that George Cope and Mike Patton are two very worthy gentlemen." For Patton, who hails from North Carolina, it was a year of transition. He came to Port the summer before school started and was a central figure in a 'clubhouse conflict' early in the season. Asked what it meant to be selected among the Region's, best, he replied, "It means a lot to me because I had a rough time adjusting. I'm glad to be picked." He admitted "I was really surprised to be picked." When similiarly ques- tioned Cope stated "If I hadn't been selected on an All-Star team I would have been disappointed." The two selections should come as no shock to anybody because Cope is probably the best player in the area and Patton is not far behind him. However, Coach Dekker believes that others on his squad should be given honourable mention on the ballets. "Rob Morris, Simmonds, Wilbur and Fedyk can play on anybody's team," he exclaimed. Both Patton and Cope will return next year. For the captain it will be his last in Port, but Patton has two years remaining. This fact obviously pleases Dekker, "I would have to say that our prospects for next year are t -- Hailes AT THE CORNER HWY. 12 & HWY. 7A * Truck Caps eo Service Dept. The Scugog Youth Soccer Association got a financial shot in the arm last week with the announcement that Beatrice Foods (Ontario) and Ideal Dairy Division will take an active role in spon- soring and promoting soccer at all levels in this province. William Wilmot, general manager of Ideal Dairy in Oshawa, said that Beatrice Foods will sponsor Ontario's most prestigious cup com- petitions, and Ideal Dairy will organize Regional promotions designed to feed money directly into local soccer associations. The company has commit- ted a minimum of five years involvement with the sport and the money for soccer over this period could amount to as much as $300,000. 'Our involvement with amateur soccer is a natural progression," said Mr. Wilmot. "We produce health-giving foods and soccer associations produce healthy citizens." Scugog Association president Brian Yeo told the Star that the contributions will mean a lot in boosting the sport in this area. The local association is pre- paring for a busy season this year with more than 200 boys and girls already registered, MONDAY NIGHT LADIES 9 O'CLOCK BOWLING Team Standings - Lemon Limes - 34; Dr. Pepper - 34; Pepsi's - 28; Orange Crush - 24; 7 Ups - 17; Sprite's - 10.

All three of the gentlemen expressed their desire to play in an actual contest against other conferences All-Stars. Dekker said, "I would like to see the Durham teams challenge the city (Toronto) All-Star teams" He believes that this squad could pull off an upset if such a match came to be. A high calibre match such as the one proposed could probably do a lot for the basketball fans of the area.

Mr. Wilmot told the Star that one of the ways a local association like Scugog could benefit from the.company's involvement in the sport is through the sale of Ideal Dairy products at special events, with almost all the proceeds from these sales being turned over directly to the local group. For senior players over 18, Beatrice will sponsor the Beatrice Ontario Cup, a competition that could involve up to 430 teams across the province with the finals to be played in Octo- ber. The company will also sponsor the Ontario Women's Championship and the provincial qualifying series for the National Senior Amateur Championship. Last year, it is estimated there were about 60,000 youth players in Ontario, and the sport is growing in popularity by about 20 per cent each year. In Scugog Township the growth in the popularity of the sport far exceeds that rate. Last year there were about 110 players in Scugog, while this year the Associa- tion expects to have well over 200 youngsters playing organized soccer. SPRING VALUES ROBERT HALL MOTORS LTD.
