Vol. 86, No RON CRAINE 8 §f= A DAUGHTER FOR LEN McLEAN Len McLean and his wife Pat have a brand new daughter, their first child, born on Robbie Burns Day, January 25. Len is a well known local softball player who played with the old Mainprize Drug team, Wimbridge Cleaners and lastly Dynes Jewellers before calling it quits. Congratulations are very much in order for the McLeans all three of them! A SUICIDE SPORT Just like a lot of other people did we took a good look at the Winter Olympics on TV. They convinced us that one of the events is strictly for would-be suicides â€" the two man toboggan event. As We know the word these contraptions they ride on can hardly be classed as toboggans. A slender deal of wood and metal they look much like an old fashioned sled with turned up runners at the bow end. Not quite as sturdy as the old time sled either. U-v‘AVA . On these souped up ironing boards two brawny, hardy, helmeted and padded athletes hurl them- selves down an ice coated tortuous chute at speeds of 70 m.p.h. The fastest time is the overall winner but the two men have to finish with the toboggan. And that’s where the rub comes in. It ain’t easy! A British toboggan artist was killed on the course in pre-game trial runs while sundry others cracked various bones. Judging by watching it you’d be safer running down the white line between the lanes of 401 â€"- west bound on the east bound side for instance! It may be a bit rough on athletes but it does make for exciting TV. viewing!!! SOFTBALL NEWS TO BREAK The presently disturbed situation in the world of local softball should be resolved in the next few weeks. Both Vern Dynes and Tom Hughes are expected to have some interesting revelations to make in the not too distant future. Last season without a doubt local fans were treated to some of the best softball action to be seen anywhere in Ontario.

But it was a good effort all the way in the tough sledding for the British Consuls honours and Bill and his rink deserve a slap on the back. Slap!
