Bas THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, Octebor 16, 1965 SCHOOL FOOTBALL IN OSHAWA... ...A REPLY TO "HAWKEYES' Other Coaches Have Something To Sav. Too! By FRANK RATCLIFFE f Sports Writer Oshawa high school _ grid coaches took to the field of comment this week to reply. to remarks made by Dyson Brooks, president of the Osh- 'awa Hawkeyes' football club. JOE KOLODAIE The coaches were comment- ing on statements made last week by Mr. Brooks. Among other things, he criticized Osh- awa youth for "having no guts." The statement was part of an explanation of why so few prospective footballers try out for the Hawkeyes. He also referred to local high school ball as "mickey mouse" ball, at the same time express- ing the wish that more school coaches would allow their play- ers to play for Hawkeyes as well. According to Mr. Brooks, only one coach is so inclined. 'THROUGH HAT' "Talking through his hat" were the words of Joe Kolodzie, coach of McLaughlin Seniors. "But he's entitled to his opin- ion." continued Mr. Kolodzie. "TI have my own opinions con- cerning the Hawkeyes too." On the latter point, he failed to elaborate. Stan Marchut, O'Neill coach at tional Institute, accused Mr. Brooks of "not having his facts. straight." Replying to the view by the Hawkeye pres- ident that high school players should play with Hawkeyes, Mr. Marchut pointed out that the best team in the league (On- tario Junior Football Confer- ence) doesn't use high school gridders. He was referring: to unfefeated Toronto Invictus. Invictus does, however, use University players. This points to one of Hawk- eyes' gravest problems,' accord- ing to the coaches. When the best players graduate from high school, most leave Oshawa to play college ball rather than go out with the Oshawa squad. SYMPATHETIC Mr. Marchut was sympathetic with Hawkeye problems, name- ly their inability to attract per- sonnel but he criticized Mr. Brooks for levelling the blame at high school players or coaches. Playing for two clubs, and at the same time keeping up in school work is a heavy load for a boy in grade 12 or 13, he said. Nevertheless, each of the five high school coaches allow their players to play for Hawkeyes. Mr. Kolodzie, however, has STAN MARCHU found some of his key players = in Hawkeye games, and discontinue the practice ov season, Apart from the injury factor, they emphasized they benefit greatly by letting their players participate in both loops. Mr. Marchut summed up the feel- ings of the coaches about Hawk- eye coach Dunc Brodie, when he said "you can't. get better coaching anywhere." Central Collegiate coach Don Mcllveen pointed out that Cana- dian Rugby Union regulations don't allow a high school stu- dent to play in the OJFC if he a a play for his school as well. BETTER CALIBRE Mr. MclIiveen added. that the purpose of the OJFC as he. sees it is to give a boy some- where to play ball AFTER he leaves school. The other coaches agreed. Concerning Mr. Brooks' refer- ence to high school ball as "mickey mouse" ball, Mr. Mc- Ilveen agreed the CJFC is bet- ter calibre, as did all the coaches. But they were quick to point out that Hawkeyes "'get the pick of the high school crop." And the average age in the OJFC is about 19, said Mr. Mcliveen, while in high school it is only around 17. They said this didn't detract from high school ball, however. As Jim Musselman, coach of Anderson High, said: "We have a pretty good brand of ball ourselves." Mr. Musselman agreed to an extent with Mr. Brooks' state- meat that 'Oshawa kids are just interested in getting a part- time job, a car and a girl friend." He has encountered the same difficulty trying to organize a team, he said. Mr. Musselman said a major difference between the two loops; namely that the high -schools aren't trying to pro- duce pro players while Hawk- eyes are. "We play football for the sake of competing," he said, 'and understandably many of the boys aren't dedi- cated enough to play in two leagues."' JOHN ELLIOT LONG SEASON John Elliot, Donevan's coach, was also sympathetic with Mr. Brooks' position, but felt he was a "little unkind."' He said one of the major problems of the Hawkeyes is the long season, with training camp opening early in summer and play ex- tending through te October. "That's a long season for most boys," he said, "particularly ence school opens." Mr. Marchut took the Hawk- eye problem one step further. The boys aren't attracted toe the Hawkeyes because people don't go to the games, and people don't go to the games because of the poor facilities, he said. Kinsmen Stadium, said Mr. Marchut, is the worst football field he has ever seen in his life. The stands, teo, are in- adequate. « Baseball, hockey and lacrosse teams have great facilities, he added, but the City of Oshawa doesn't seem concerned about doing anything for football - in the city. "By 1967 there will be at least 13 teams in the city and none of them will have a decent place to play where they can attract fans.' Certainly something to think about. my i YUL AMBONANED LALO (UA ELASARHIEH AGUA Collegiate and Voca- MMi nT mn mmc UTE MM nooo oo Tn Rm THE TIMES SPORTSCOPE Saturday, Oct. 16 HOCKEY -- OHA Junior "A" Schedule: Montreal Canadiens vs Oshawa Generals, at Civic Auditorium, 7.15 p.m. SOCCER -- Oshawa and Dis- trict League (Lancaster Cup Final) -- Oshawa Polonia vs Oshawa Italia, at Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium, 7.30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 17 SOFTBALL -- UAW League Championship Finals (if 3rd Game Necessary)--Wayne Auto Body vs McKeen's, at Alexan- dra Park, 1.00 p.m.; 3rd and deciding game of series.
