Citizen sports beat Wednesday, October 12, 1977 Lercar wins 13-3 Olympia The Penetanguishene Arena Floor Fund is $100 richer, and the Olympia Sports fastball team is $100 poorer, as a result of a game between Olympia and Lercar Construction at McGuire Park Monday afternoon. The one month layoff for the Olympia team really showed throughout the game, as they com- mitted errors, and lacked the overall sharpness of the Lerear team, which is currently involved in a playoff series against the Hotel Brule squad. When Monday §af- ternoon's game _ ended, the Lerear team was ahead 13-3. Tony Forget was the starting pitcher for Lercar, but Alvin Robillard took over part way through the game. For Olympia it was Bob Rice pitching most of the game, although John Stamp pitched for about an inning. The Lercar team managed to rack up nine runs in the first four in- nings, putting the game out of reach for the Olympia players before they could even get on the scoreboard. Each team scored two. in the fifth, and Lerear outscored Olympia 2-1 in the sixth to salt.away the game. The Olympia players, who last summer issued the challenge to the Lerear team to play a game with the losers donating $100 to the arena floor fund, were good natured about the defeat 'We knew they'd Sports loses $100 to Arena fund in challenge game as they handed over the cheque to fund raising committee chairman Frances St. Amant following the game. Umpires Bill Pud- dicombe and Donald Dusome donated their time for the game, and proceeds from the gate also went towards the fund. St. Amant said there were about 32 adult spectators at the game, at 50 cents a head, for a total of $16.00. She said she was a little disappointed at the turnout, especially since it was such a nice day.

He got caught short by stick it to us' Psy Wednesday was a gloomy day for the Penetanguishene _Seco- ndary School football team, as it went down to defeat 30-13 at the hands of the team from Stayner. Following the game, coach Larry Banks commented: "We knew they would stick it to us. We tried to get fired up the Olympia Sports player, and out he went. Lercar won the game 13-3. Staff photo team bows to Stayner for them, but they stuck it to us anyway." The P.S.S. squad went out with style though; in the last minute of play, on a third and long yardage situation, deep in their own end, they came through with a dazzling touchdown on a 65 yard run by Lloyd Cascagnette. The other points came on a touchdown by Chris Breaking free Frank Buttineau, playing on the St. Joseph's touch football team, hauls in a pass and takes off in last Thursday's match against Burkevale.

Wayne Stewart and Ken Wright of Burkevale both struck for two touch- downs, and Matthew Thompson picked up the other Burkevale major. McConnell on a pass play, and a single point on a missed field goal attempt by quarterback Vince Ladouceur. Banks said he thought the P.S.S. team played well on offence, but the defense just couldn't contain the Stayner in dismal game last week running attack. Running was just about the only thing Stayner did, but it appeared to be enough. They didn't throw a pass, nor did they punt in third down situations. Despite that, P.S.S. only managed to stop them on third down plays twice. Score 17-14 upset Midland Bulls take revenge on Yeomen The Rugby Bulls of Midland were surprise winners of their Toronto and District Rugby Union match' with York University's Club team Saturday, scoring a 17-14 victory at Midland Secondary School. In their last meeting, York overran Midland 32- 6 and showed greater speed and depth, but, this time Midland was able to keep the Yeomen off balance long enough for the win. A key 50-yard run by Midland's Ron Hunt in the first half, set the pace for the game as York was unable to get their attack moving and gave up possession of the ball to the Bulls several times. Hunt scored a try on his run which was converted by Mike Miller to give Midland a 6-6 tie at the half. York had jumped into an early lead in the first ten minutes of the game with a pair of field goals that came on_ penalty kicks. "The guys. really played well in the first 25 minutes of the second half," said team member Doug Cole, "that run by Ron (Hunt) picked our spirits up." Rich Leroux dived across the York goal line from five yards out to give Midland the lead early in the second half. A field goal by Mike Miller from a_ penalty kick gave the Bulls a 13-6 lead until Miller scored a try making it 17-6. Miller missed the Provincial tennis conversion attempt and Midland was finished scoring for the day. In the last 10 minutes of the game, York found their stride and scored a try making it 17-10 and repeated the effort in the last minute of play to bring them within three points of tying the score. Time ran out, however, and Midland recorded the victory and valuable points in their effort to stay out of last place and avoid demotion to the next lower division. York is_ currently competing in the Inter- mediate C division, but a last place finish would mean they would be sent down to the D division, something all team members would like to prevent. P.S.S. girls fare well Penetanguishene Secondary School girls put on a good showing in the All Ontario Tennis tournament for secon- dary school students held in Toronto last week, although they didn't take any of the top prizes. Of an original team of 16 boys and girls, five quyalified for the October 6 tournament. In the girls' singles event, played at Moore Park, Penetanguishene's Anne Merkley' was knocked out in the semi- finals. She got a bye in the first round, then defeated Jenny Colbourne 9-8 in the next round. It was a sweet victory for Merkley, who lost to Paul Henry Colbourne in the semi- finals of the Ontario Closed tournament this summer. She went on to defeat Mary Lou Smith 8-5 in the quarter finals. Smith was ranked number one in Canada in the under-14 category in 1976. In the semi-finals, she went down to defeat 8-0, to Carolyn Kates, who is entering her last year in the under-18 category. Kates in turn went down to defeat 6-4, 6-4 to the winner of the tournament, Sue Black. In girls' doubles, played at Leaside Park, the team of Marnie Ridout and Sally Lichtenberg lost in "their first round of the championship round, 9-7 to Camp and Pepplar. In the consolation round, they won 8-4 against Williams and McKay, and took an 8-4 decision over Page and Hoshko, before going down to defeat in the semi-finals 8-6 to the team of Wood and Wood. Lexi Larmand and Janet Pause weren't so lucky, as they were knocked out of the tournament in two straight sets. In the championship round, they went down to defeat 8-0 to Sleeth and Avison, then they lost 8-5 to Holtzman and Maiteen in the first round of the consolation final. Kings' coach named The Penetanguishene Chemical Valley Junior Kings hockey team has named its coach. Paul Henry, a Penetanguishene resi- dent, who works at the Mental Health Centre, was the man chosen to coach the first year team. Henry played Junior hockey with St. Michaels and Whitby, and has played Senior hockey in Manitoba. He has played on collegiate teams with the University of Guelph and University of Wind- sor. The first tryouts and practice were _ held Monday at Wasaga Beach, and 30 players came out. Following the practice, Henry said he was pleased with the turnout and overall en- thusiasm. He said the calibre of the players was better than he had expected, and he is certain he can mold a good team after seeing the first workout. Several players have already been signed by the team. Paul Robillard and Vince Decola, both of whom played for the Midland Junior "B" Flyers last year, have been signed, as have Larry Cowan and John St. Amant, who both started out with the Flyers last year but ended the season Fin, Fur by Bryan Berriault The cold weather of fall sends many people running for the indoors. To the hunter it sends him to the far north country in search of moose. With the warm weather we have had this fall the moose hunting should be at its best. Rumours have not made their way south that the rut had started up north. To the hunter who can sweet talk a moose, it may mean the difference between success and failure. During the rut the moose will readily an- swer a caller to do battle with another bull moose for his lady love. In the case of a cow she may answer just to see what the bull is all about. October 24 marks the opening of deer season for bows in Huronia District. This is a first for our area and the season will run from October 24 to December 10. At present there are no restrictions on the bows that can be used, but Alex Smith, Supervisor for Huronia District, Ministry of- natural Resources has Stated that they will come in the future. I would and Feather strongly suggest, if you are planning on giving this sport a try, purchase a bow with 40 pounds tension or better. This appears to be the most likely cut off point. Get in lots of practice before you go afield for deer. It takes a great amount of skill to bring down a deer with a bow and arrow. Practice makes perfect. There are plenty of deer and plenty of eager hunters in our area. Rainbow trout With the rain we have been having lately the banks of some of the local rivers have swollen to meet the coming of the rainbow trout. The small steelheads as most silvery rainbows that make the run in the fall are called, have been hitting lately in some of our nearby rivers. Roe tied up in nylon stockings is one of the best baits. To someone who has never tried this type of fishing all but one part is simple. The part that is not simple is obtaining the eggs. Once you have, just cut a piece of nylon stocking about two inches square. Place enough eggs on the square to make a ball about the size of a man's fingernail. Pick up all the corners and twist the top of the stocking so that none of the eggs can escape. Then tie it off with some of mothers thread. Three or four circles and a couple of half hit- ches will usually secure the bag from falling apart when casting. Cut off the excess stocking at the top and you have your first bag. After tying up what you feel is enough to do you for your fishing, head to the river of your choice and get into some of the liveliest fish that were ever stocked in our waters. When you reach the river its a matter of trial and error as to how much weight you should place on the line. The weight should be about a foot or so up the line from the bag and just enough to drift the egg about as fast as the river is travelling and just up from the bottom. This is commonly called drift fishing. When you can read the river well enough to know exactly where your egg is at all times you will have overcome the problem of the drift. The drift is having you bait where you think the fish will be laying. This only comes with hours of practice. So the next time your wife asks you where you are going just tell her, 'I'm going to practice my drift'. It worked for me. Coho salmon The ministry has finally admitted that the coho salmon could be here for a while. Since imported eggs are not feasible because of contamination laws we now have, the Ministry of Natural Resources will try to take eggs and milt from mature fish for hatching at one of their hatcheries. It is hoped that these fish will be planted in Lake Ontario next year to return in four or five years as the fighters that they are. I hope the Ministry is beginning to like the feeling of success in its venture to stock cohos in the past years and will continue to do so in many years to come. My only regret is that they don't widen their program to include more suitable water, such as we have to offer. playing for the Penetanguishene Juv- eniles. Also signed was Ken Cowan, who played with the Juveniles last year. Further practices will be held next week in Elmvale, as soon as the ice is in there. "Competing in D would mean a lot of defaulted games because many of the teams don't show up in D division,"'-said Cole "The refereeing isn't as good either. The leagnes officials go to A, B and C division games before D and if there are not enough referees to go around then they have to get their own. "But mostly it's the defaulted games that are hard on a team. Not too many of the D teams want to travel outside of Toronto, so it would mean a lot of travelling for us."' Mark Sullivan played an outstanding game for Midland according to Bruce Fagan, of the Midland Rugger Bulls, reaches out for the ball in last Saturday's contest between Midland and the York University Club team.

The team, being coached by teachers Madeleine Paille and Martin Lalonde, has been training for the event for a month and a half, running every day to build up resistance. Lalonde said the run- ners have been practising during recesses, noon hours and after school. They started off slowly, Lalonde said, running Cole and was a welcome return from last year's team. This was Sullivan's first game for Midland since last year. Al MacDonald played well at serum half and kept York from scoring on many occasions. "IT don't know what caused our let up in the last minutes,"' said Cole. "When York got the ball finally, they just roared at us and scored two tries. "We won a lot of the set scrums and kept the ball a lot, that put them off balance." Another reason Midland's let down an injury to hooker O'Hara, who left for was Bob the game to have a _ head injury stitched. The in- jury was not serious and O'Hara was back in time for the post game party. The Bulls next game will be against Toronto Scottish in Victoria Square, Ontario and should prove to be a tough one as both teams are fighting to stay out of last place. The season's end will § probably see the Scottish, the Bulls and the Oshawa Vikings battling one another for second last place. Midland will end their season against the Vikings here in Midland on October 22. Up for grabs compete on October 22 contest was a wet one, as the rain came and went throughout the game. Midland emerged victorious, chalking up a 17-14 win over the York squad.
