the examiner Frlday0¢t 28 1971 as sports wheel Cycling is in trouble By ED HARPER Chay Last weekend attended the annual meeting of the Ontario Cycling Association It was two day affair held at the Ramada Inn in Toronto Like so many other sports the cycling game has had lot of problems over the past year Bicycle clubs did not com municate with the 0CA and some of the better riders in Ontario failed to show for the Ontario Championships elec ting instead to ride in the United States where they could make more money These riders are supposed to be amateurs but they will gowherever the most prize money is offered This has been gomg on for too many years now and it is time that the whole structure of bicycle racing was changed cant help but feel sorry for lot of dedicated people who have given so much of their time to the sport of cycling over the past several years only to take lot of abuse from cyclists managers coaches and trainers After sitting through two days of meetings feel that the future of bicycle racing in Ontario is not very bright If the game is going to survive with Racing Board to direct it there have to be big changes As far as the riders are con £1 cemed the must go back to strict amateurism and any riders taking money for race should be suspended The only way you can have paid riders is under contract or else they will go wherever the money is greatest Over the past few years the government through Sports Canada has given considerable amount of money for cycl ing That includes the recreational cyclists as well as the racers Instead of using the government funds to send cyclists all over the world to race believe that they should use the money to promote races right here in Canada and help young riders to develop The cost of good bicycle has gone beyond the reach of the average bicycle racer Prices range from thousand dollars as high as four thousand The average person would not believe these figures but its true The price of good set of pedals is over eighty dollars and that does not include toe clips or traps Some of the top racers have bicycles donated to them but the rider who is just starting out finds the cost is just too much and turns to sport that is cheaper The experts figure that with the increase in the number of bicycles on our streets and highways that bicycle racing should be thriving yet racing is on the decline while recrea tional cycling is thriving Each year more and more tours are held in Ontario Tom Parry Chairman of the Ontario Recreational Cycling is Association has done great job over the past four or five years but he hasnt had the problems that the racers have faced hope that racing will be reorganized and that the future will be brighter Maybe the start of better things was when the Ontario ycling Association recently hired an executive director to work fulltime He works out of the Sport Ontario office at 553 Jarvis Street Toronto and anyone wanting in formation on touring or racing should contact him His name is Kevin Gardiner He is very enthusiastic and believe that he will do lot for cycling in the next year Dont forget that we have very good cycling club right here It is called the Huronia Cycling Club and is becoming one of the largest in the Ontario region If you would like any information you can contact me through this newspaper Speedway man dies in hospital

Howie Forbes coach of the Barrie Colts made that com ment after watching his club lose 75 decision to the Thore nhill Thunderbirds in Mid Ontario Junior Hockey league game Thursday at the Barrie Arena We know what our weak nesses are and we are doing the best we can to strengthen ourselves he added Assistant coach Bill Clayden handled the coaching duties behind the bench Forbes spent much of the game in the press box above the ice surface to get better look at the problem areas He found lots of problems but most of his attention focus ed on the defencemen Numer ous times throughout the game they left Thornhill players alone in front of the net and it cost them on the scoreboard WAYNE IIURfII Injured The defence was the ro blem tonight he ad ed There is no wa we should lose toa team likeT omhill but the degence just isnt doing the Jo Barrie held 32 lead at the end of the first period but trail ed 65 heading into the final frame The turning point in the game came early in the second period when Barrie goaltender Dun can Brownell surrendered two easy goals On both markers he went to his knees when he should have been standing up The first thing said to Dun can whcn went into the dress ing room after the first period was to make sure he stayed on his feet Forbes said TOFFAN IOOK OVER Bob Toffaii took over for Brownell early in the second period He performed well but gave up three goals For the second home game in row the Colts started slowly and found themselves down two goals early in the first riod Al Berryman sco his first Penetang pounds 77s 145 in home Opener It could turn into long season for the upstart Oro 77s of the Georgian Bay Junior Hockey League The club lost 42 decision to Huntsville in its season opener recently and last night Pene tanguishene showed up at the Oro Arena and pounded the 775 145 before 150 fans Allan McLean the rookie coach of the club seems to have the right attitude to coach new team He isnt demanding immediate results and realizes his club is going to have some bad games over the course of the season It was just one of those nights when nothing went right for us he said The defence wasnt clearing the puck and forwards werent coming back the way they should McLean is still confident the club can be contender in its first season Well have no trouble once the boys have played together for while he added Well beat that club this season McLean was happy with the turnout of fans for the first game Yes was quite happy with the fan turnout he said Its too bad we couldnt have put on better show for them Oh well Ross Prentice scored six goals for the visitors Mark Decourcy had three goals and Jaime Gignac scored twice Marc Duguette Vince Decola John St Almant and Ken Cor van had the other goals Peter Stephens was the top man for Oro with two goals Brian Cole and Darrell Grant had the other markers The 77s were still in the game after two periods They trailed only 74 but Penetang wrapped in eight unanswered goals in the final period The clubs next home game is Nov against Huntsville All games start at pm The Eastview Secondary School teachers will have their hands full when they take on the of three goals on the night with less than two minutes gone Brownell made the first save but failed to control the re bound Berryman scored again four minutes later with Barries Don Martin in the penalty box Barrie forced the play for most of the period but didnt finish off the plays until mid way through the riod when Brad McDonald rifled shot past goaltender Jerry Kofsky to make it 21 Rene Pelletier tied the score at the 1324 mark of the period and then McDonald scored his second goal to give Barrie the 32lead Berryman tied the score 33 early in the second period when hard drive from the point flipped off Brownells glove and into the net All he had to do was stand up Forbes said That shot might have even been over the net Only 23 seconds later Glen spo Daurio put Thornhill ahead when his slap shot from just in side the blue line found hole between Brownells pads and rolled into the net REFUSED T0 QUIT Depite the two bad goals Bar rie refused to give up and roared back with two quick goals to take the lead again Bob Coulson tied the score at 1218 Martin let drive go from the point that 0t through the Thornhill de ence and Coulson was all alone in front to tipit home Rick Jermey scored power play goal minute later His slapshot hit the bottom right hand comer of the net Rick Jermey played good game for us tonight Forbes said after the game He was really the only defenceman to play well We missed Wayne Church back injury and Ross Walton suspenSion back there With those two guys out it left us with RICK JERMEY strong game only three defencemen he ad ded Daurio and Mark Weber scored Thornhill goals later in the second period and then Weber scored his second goal of the game late in the third period to wrap up the win The loss left Barries record at three wins and four losses It is the first time this season the club has dropped below the 500 mark Forbes was naturally disap pointed after the game Everyone seems to get for us because Barrie has sue reputation of bei
