14 THE OSHAWA TIMS,, Fridey, June 12, 1909 DEL WILSON Has Sound Reputation In Jr. Hockey Circles REGINA (CP)--Del Wilson has a reputation as a real western gunslinger on the fair- ways as well as being a man to reckon with in backroom meetings on junior hockey, The rifleman, as he is calied on the golf course, is a nick- name acquired in the last six years as professional at Regi- na's Murray Golf Club. His reputation in junior hockey cir- cles has been known for about 15 years. Wilson packs a .22-calibre ri- fle'with his golf clubs so he can shoot rabbits while playing a round with friends or giving in- structions. When traps failed to solve a severe rabbit problem on the course--located in a game pre- serve--Wilson, 37, was given permission to attack the prob- lem with a rifle. He jocularly calls it his Craik club, after his Saskatchewan hometown. '{ guess it might put off some of my opponents," he adds with a smile. Wilson, a dapper six - foot bachelor who doubles as gen- eral manager of Regina Pats of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League and chief West- ern Canadian scout for the Na- tional Hockey League Montreal Canadiens in the winter, once considered golf "a goofy game." TURNED PRO Seventeen years ago he was invited to play a couple of rounds "'and I got the bug." As an amateur he had a three handicap, won the provin- cial title in 1957 and earned a berth on four Willingdon Cup teams, the last in 1058. He turned pro the next year and six years ago took over the Murray course. But Wilson, who was the first netminder for Pats when they were re-organized in 1946, is more widely known in the West in his hockey capacities. His quiet outward appearance is. deceiving. 'Together with Frank Boucher, SJHL commis- sioner, and Scotty Munro, Es- tevan Bruins coach, manager and owner, he forms the back- bone of an executive which has made the SJHL one of the most successful junior operations in Canada.

Suspension May Hurt Van Der Wals Chances Of Winning In Tokyo By JACK SULLIVAN Canadian Press Sports Editor Hylke van der Wal is known in some circles in North Amer- ica as a track nut. He also hap- pens to be probably the most dedicated amateur athlete Can- ada has known in years. He's the type who will drop everything, shove his gear in 'a small overnight travel bag and hitch-hike 5,000 miles to a track meet. In the last 12 years this 26-year-old extrovert has used this method of transpnrtation to travel nearly 250,000 miles to meets in Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Bel gium, Germany, Finland. Name a counry in Europe and Hylke has been there doing what he knows best and loves, steeplechasing. He's the fastest man in Canada at his specialty with a clocking of 8:53.3. This won't win gold medals in international competition but he has shown consistent im- Britain, U.S. Ready For Cup GOSPORT, England (AP) -- Kurrewa V, with a torn Genoa jib trailing in ribbons, defeated Sovereign by one minute, seconds Thursday and went one up on her rival in the competi- tion for an America's Cup berth. Kurrewa has won seven trial races compared with Sover- eign's six 40| provement over the years and his ambition now is to hit the finals of the 3,000-metre steeple- chase at the Olympics in Toyko next October. "No Canad an has ever reached the finals in this event in the Olympics, and I know I can do it," he said in an inter- view at Toronto this week. But he may not even make it to Tokyo--even as a hitch-hiker-- because this young friendly man has been grounded by over-officious track officials NO APOLOGY The people who run track and field in Canada are dedicated and hard working. But they've got one big rap against them, and that is inconsistency in committee-room discussions. They suspended Hylke for 60 days because he didn't get the necessary credentials to enter a small meet in the United States. They had him on the carpet for it and, because he didn't apolo- gize, threw the book at him. The penalty will keep him off ithe track until June 30, at a |time when the sport is loaded jwith meets. After that date he jwill have to get his time down |to $:46.6, the qualifying mark for his event at the Aug. 7- To Use US.

"The thing about it Is that I'll miss the biggest meet of the isummer, and that's the U.S. na-| tionals at Brunswick, N.J., on June 26-27," Hylke said. | One highly-placed track offi-| cial, who asked anonymity for) obvious reasons, termed Hyl- ke's suspension by the South-| western Ontario branch of the Amateur Athletic Union as "a) dirty trick." TRACK HIS LIFE "Everybody in the track busi- ness knows and likes Hylke," the official said. "He doesn't) mean any harm. Track is his) life because he loves it. He's a jgood-natured guy and an emo- \tional type and I'm told on good authority that they egged him on when his case came up. Maybe he blew his top a bit, and no one should blame him for that." The official said that Hylke japplied for permission to com- \pete in the meet 13 days before jhe was to compete. "He didn't get a reply untl four hours be- |fore he was scheduled to go and jthat wes that he couldn't go I don't blame him for packing up and leaving."

Mets Tim came to bat--and after 22|° wit San Francisco, but he played generally as a late-game' defensive replacement and he got to bat only 65 times. He was traded to New York in the off-season and his confi- dence was ailing when he joined' the Mets for the 1963 season. LIKES SHEA Several things have contrib- uted to changing that--not the last of which are his new sur- roundings with the Mets, who while occupying the hasement in the National League stand- ings play in a baseball palace. Harkness stood on the dug- out steps and scanned Shea Stadium, the 55,000 - seat, $25,- 000,000 park which replaced the Polo Grounds as the Mets' home this year. "When you play here," he said, "'you feel like playing." Aside from its esthetic value, the new stadium has other ad- appearances, Harkness led the team in runs-batted-in with 10. He'd closed the previous sea- son with a batting average of only .211 and 42 RBIs, but with help from manager Casey Sten- age finished strongly at the plate. This spring, he batted better than .400 for the first four weeks before a bout with the 'flu and a batch of left-handed itchers slowed him down. larkness bats left and Stengel doesn't start him against left- handers, "T still make some silly mis- takes," Harkness said, "but I know what I'm doing wrong and can work it out."

The outfield there seemed cramped, but it's wide open at Shea. "Playing at the Polo Grounds was entirely different," said Harkness, a. six-foot-one, 180- pound first baseman. "You'd have to change your play when- ever you went on the road and you could get into trouble in those big ball parks." Another thing, Harkness said, "T think we've got a better ball club this year and that helps." "Last year, we'd never seem to have anybody on base when I went to bat and you'd get dis- couraged.
