Life’s path may have many turnings but Thornhill’s Cliff Nuttall figures he took the right/one when he discovered hurdling. “If it wasn’t for hurdling I wouldn’t be where I am now,” simply states the 23-year- old Nuttall who holds two Canadian records and who will be a representative this year on Canada’s Olympic team. He adds: “And if it wasn’t for Charles Seath, athletic director at Thornhill Secondary School, ,1 might still be floundering. He counselled me at a. time when I needed it the most. “He kept urging me to stick to hurdling when the other fellows were out playing hockey. I did and it got me to university. It‘s made all the difference." The difference is very evident. Cliff was admitted to the University of Michigan on a track scholarship. He will graduate this year as a physical education instructor. He proved his athletic ability at the univer- sity where he was the Big Ten Conference Champion hurdler until this year. “I became ill just before I competed in the finals” observes Cliff wryly, “and spent the next week in hospital." Cliff credits a great deal of his track success at the University of Michigan to Benny Mc- Rae of the Chicago football Bears. “He taught me some pointers which add- ed to my speed at approaching and getting over the hurdles. Hurdling, stresses the 5’5” ZOO-pound ath- lete. is an art which requires both speed and coâ€"ordination. “I have an advantage”. he states. “in that I'm both tall and fast. “A shorter man tends to step over the hur- dles when he should dive.‘ “Your head should be. in line with your knees as you make your hurdle. The hurdles are three and a half feet high and you hit them every 10 yards. If your timing is off, it slows you down considerably.” Cliff’s ability to hurdle is accentuatedby the records which show he currently holds two Canadian hurdling records. He has run the 120-yard outdoor at 14-2 seconds and the 50-yard indoor at 6.1 sec- onds. The United State’s Lee Calhoun holds the world’s outdoor at 13.2 seconds. Cliff‘s indoor mark is but one half of a tenth of a second off the world record held by another American by name of Hayes Jones. Cliff was a versatile athlete in his high school days at Thornhill playing basketball and football. But hurdles were his specialty and he proved it by setting a collegiate record in hurdles at the age of 19. His speed was 14.7 seconds. ' The near future will find Cliff working to a conditional peak for his Olympic try in October. “It’s something like a boxer in training,” he said, “You have to work up to a peak. If you over-train you become stale.” As for the further-distant future: "I hope to locate in the Thornhill area and teach physmal education. But I also intend to keep running as much as possible.” WWW“Ill“lllllllllll“llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll\llllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll\llllllllllllllllllllllll“lIlllllllllillll\lllilllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll1llllIlll“lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll“Mil“\llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllilllllllllllllllllll\lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll“lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll\“lllllllllllllllmlllllll“lllllllll\lllllllllllllllllllllillllilllllllllllllllllllll‘llll' lllll“\lill“lll\lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllill“ll!\lllllllllllllllllll1ll“lllllllllllllllllllllllllllll“llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll“\llllli\lllllllllllllllllllll Vol. 87, No. 14 For the third year in a row.

Cenâ€" tre fielder George Pond = grounded out pitcher to first to bring up first baseman Joe. u Clark. Clark got a walk off ‘ Judd and moved into second as catcher Pete Barber singled.

Hancock rifled a smash to right centre only to have Pond come streaking out of no- where to make a brilliant one hand catch and retire Hancock. Neb Cayman got two of Hughes“ three hitsâ€"a singlrin' the second and a single in the fifth but once again some spark- ling defensive play stopped any scoring threat. George Pond opened the sixth inning with a single for Waterford and stole second base only to have Judd strike out the next three bat- iters. The winning run came with dramatic suddenness in the eighth inning. Doug Watt lofted a high shot between right and centre field that was merely a routine out. Both fielders seemed hypnotized on the play and both of them moved too late to make a play. The ball took a crazy bounceâ€"rolled to the fence and Watt pulled up safely at third base. A1 Mugford blasted a shot to deep right field with Watt tag- ging up and scoring easily on the throw to the plate. Top defensive play of the game was made by Dave Stron- ach of Hughes. In the fourth inning Waterford‘s Wilf Pond caught a pitch on the nose and drove a rising shot into left field. It was labelled home run all the way. Stronach took a look, leaped like a basketball player to make a one hand grab of the still-rising ball and retire Mr. Pond. The Major G. C. McArthur trophy was presented to Hughes Shell after the game by Ken Braithwaite of the OASA. And now it’s the big one for the local teamâ€"the All- Ontario series against Sault Ste. Marie.

The local girls defeated the East York Kiwanis team by the score of 2-1 in a game that went an extra inning. They took the series three straight. Kiwanis tied it up in the fourth, combining a walk, an error and a hit to push a run across the plate. The score remained tied until the eighth inning when Mary Williamson got to first on an error, made second on a wild pitch, went to third when Jo Fletcher was put out at first and scored on a wild throw when Kiwanis tried to get her at third. _ The East York half of the eighth inning was terminated quickly by a fly ball to Shirley Goodman in left field, a walk, and double play when Jean- nette Snider made a dazzling catch of a line drive over sec- ond base and doubled the run- ner at first. Richmond Heights Girls Are League Champions Judy Hopkins pitched terrific ball through all three games, with Irene Bryson behind the plate. Richmond Heights went a- head 1-0 in the first inning on a walk received by Erin Hen- derson, who went to third on a double by Mary Williamson and scored on a fielder‘s choice on a ball hit by JoAnne Flet- cher. Dynes T0 Sponsor Sr. Hockey Team Vern Dynes, popular Rich- mond Hill sportsman will sponsor the local entry in the Richmond Hill Senior Hockey League. The team's name will be chang- ed from Leafs to Dynes and uniforms will he in green and white. Dynes was one of the original sponsors in the league when it began in 1955 and was associated with championship teams in 1956, 1958 and 1959. It is interesting to note that the 1958-59 club is the only team to win first place in the league as well as the playoffs. Several of last year's players will be back again this season. They hope to be bolstered by younger re- inforcements. First practice is scheduled for October 13 at Richmond Hill Arena. It is hoped this year’s team can get away to a better start than last year when they failed to win in their first eight games.

For the oldtimers, Sandy Edgcumbe, JoAnne Fletcher Rosemarie McLean, Irene Bry- son, Jean Doucette and Mary Williamson. it was a repeated glory, as they had been mem- bers of the championship team in 1960 and 1962 when they‘ had also won the cup. For newcomers Erin Hender- son, Shirley Goodman, Jean- ette Snider. Judy Hopkins and Pat Kyte, it was a thrilling vic- tory. The team owes a great deal to their new coaches, A. Kyte and R. Snider. who stuck by them during the season when the chips were down. The girls are looking forward to another successful season next year under the same coaches and the same sponsor- ship of Richmond Heights. llllnlll\llllllllll\lll\lll\l“\\lll\lllllllmlllllllllllllmlllll“l“\lll\ll\\ll\ll Physical education classes for men and women are in- cluded in this year's adult education program at Bay- view Secondary School.

Like the rest of us, his activities these days are more sedentary than rugged and he has issued a decree that makes more than a little sense. Any youngster who plays hockey this winter on a rink operated by North York Township must wear a protective headguard and MUST have guards attached to his skates. Organizations running youth hockey programs will be responsible for see- ing these safety measures are carried out or have rink privileges cancelled. The parks department is also advocating the use of skate guards while pleas- ure skating. These‘safety measures are admirable but it seems a pity that organizations running hockey pro- grams have to be TOLD to take full safety precau- tions. 773 - 4132 Sport spots and football.
