Goals galore in Midland's 8-2 win Most of Midland Boatworks soccer team supporters turned out for the teams' last league game of the season. It was played in Penetang and the team put on quite a show. Their opponents were the league's second place Barrie United. About ten minutes into the game Ted Chisholm, a Midland midfield defender, took a crack at goal from well out that the keeper did well to put around the post for a corner. Dennis Moreau took the kick and sent a high ball to the far post. Chisholm was in the right spot to raise into the air above the defenders and head the ball into the net for the first Midland goal. That seemed to open the floodgates. Andy Liberty Days race draws record crowd by Ed Pearson The Midland Bay Sailing Club in conjunc- tion with the Historic Naval and Military Establishments held their annual Tecumseth Trophy Sailing races on Saturday. An add- ed attraction to Liberty Days, the races drew a record number of entries. This reporter was lucky enough to secure a berth aboard the Ex- press Scout 30 committee boat piloted by John Plowright. The races were conducted under the expert hand and eye of Steve Kill- ing, Race Committee Chairman. Weather was bright and clear with light to moderate breezes blowing. A day to test boats and crews. The course was over twelve nautical miles from Asylum Point to the south end of Beausoleil Island, north to the red flashing light off Adams Point, then retrace course home. It was mid-day when the class A boats (28 - 39 feet) and class B (20 - 27 feet) started jockeying for position at the start. The 16 boats were an impressive sight. The chair- man soundéd the klaxon and it was up spin- nakers and away. Two hours later the sails hove into sight again. Chris Armstrong in 'Scottish Mist'? was the first to round the finish buoy, but under the complicated scoring system he did not prove to be the winner. I spoke to Armstrong on the dock, his two crew members were Kevin McGill and Joe Blake. The three crew members have another common interest, their three sons play on the same minor hockey team. Armstrong said that it was a grand day for sailing with varied wind con- ditions that kept them on their toes. He has been sailing with the Midland Bay Sailing Club for the past five years but has ten years before the mast in his native Scotland. He is happy sailing in these waters but reports that they got bigger fleets out for competitions back home. He added that opportunities for sailing were more frequent here because of the good weather in summer. He sails a Niagara 26 Express boat made here in Midland. Final Results Class (A), First Place: "'Pacman'" skipper Andy Zuidema, elapsed time 2 hours 16 mins. Second: 'Speedwell' skipper Harvie Payne. Third: 'Voodoo Dancer" skipper Ray Svaza. Class (B), First: "Oddfellow" skipper Burke Penny. Second: "Sure Thing" skipper Kevin Tigwell. Third: 'Scottish Mist'? skipper Chris Armstrong. Centre Board Winners (18 feet and under): John Bishop (Laser) - first; Jim Warren (Albacore) - second; Ted Symons (Laser) - third. Labatt's Ontario Breweries presented trophies following the races. Winners also received rope handled wooden buckets hand- crafted in the Establishments workshops. Flags were awarded by the Midland Bay Sail- ing Club. Monro took a free kick from about forty yards out that fooled the Barrie keeper when it dip- ped and went through his hands for the se- cond tally. Dave Campbell celebrated his return to the team after injuries by scoring his first goal of the year when he broke away and crashed a ball into the net. Campbell seems to have retained his blin- ding speed from last year when he was oblig- ed to rest up after injuries. He reports to be still shaky on his pins but you could have fool- ed this observer. About five minutes later Shane Spurr fed him a hospital pass but he eluded the defender and notched his second goal. When the half time interval arrived, Midland was four well deserved goals ahead. Barrie returned to the field refreshed and ap- parently chastised by their coach, their tackl- ing was more spirited and were into the game more. Rather against the run of play, Midland's Gerald Befort collected the ball, raced down the left wing drawing the defenders, then passed the ball back to Don Foster who cooly sidekicked the ball past the keeper. Barrie's attacks on the Midland goal finally paid off when, Larry Buckley, Midland's keeper who had made several fine saves, was beaten by a great power drive from Ron Docherty. Encouraged, Barrie ~~ . % Heading The Ball Midland Boatworks Soccer Club had no pro- United forwards swarmed into Midland's goal area. Buckley was kept busy and even- tually succumbed when Ian Martin put Bar- rie's second goal past him. The momentum of the very exciting game seemed to be flowing to the Barrie team when Mark Loach, who had been a tower of strength on Midland's back line, decided to take on an attacking role. Getting possession, he loped up the field, found Shane Spurr with a long pass who notched another goal for Midland. About this time, Barrie's harried keeper who had seen five balls go past him, took himself off and was replaced from the bench. The poor wretch fared no better. Spurr, who is the league's leading goal- scorer with eleven goals in the past seven games, beat him with a hard, low shot. The game was well out of reach for Barrie when Alistair Hair, one of Midland's newer players, picked his spot, leaving the keeper stranded, lobbed the ball over his head for the last goal of the match. The Midland Boaters seem to have got their act together at the right time, play-offs start in two weeks. They have every reason to be satisfied with their third place standing in the league and having made the play-offs should acquit themselves well.

The Penetanguishene Jr. C Kings have a new name and a new coach. The Kings will now be called the Penetanguishene Huronia Chrysler Kings. The new coach will be Gerry Marshall of Midland. At a press conference Friday, team owner Bob Monteith, made the announcements. After selling the Commodore Hotel, Monteith, along with partner Rick McClocklin, formerly of the Innisfil Bruins, recently purchased Huronia Chrysler. Gerry Marshall has lived in Midland for the past couple of years and is employed by McLean Hunter. He has two boys Bill and Steven and a wife, Janice. Formerly from North Bay, Gerry has been looking for a Junior team for some time. He played his minor hockey in North Bay and received a look from Peterborough Petes. Marshall does not really consider himself a disciplinarian, 'but if a player finds his bag sitting in the hallway...' Marshall will run a tight ship. He will be capably backed by Peter Dubeau, Manager, along with Monteith and McClocklin. Wayne Garraway will be responsible for public relations. Beryl Chillcott is the team's secretary. With the limited drawing power in this area, the team will import only if positions cannot be filled with local players. The Kings will have a type of working relationship with the Barrie Colts Junior B franchise on an unofficial basis. The tryout camp for the Penetanguishene Huronia Chrysler Junior Kings will be around the third week of September, possibly in Wasaga Beach. Y
