VOL. 91, NO. 14 L““““‘i‘“““" Afinunsggggggggngn “It’s mainly a case of learning how to control your moves,” he said. “It‘s acquiring technique. All too often you see young hockey players using twice the energy they need because they were never taught how to skate properly. “I’m not teaching hockey moves. That’s some- one else’s job. But if you know how to skate propâ€" erly and play hockey, too, you’re away ahead of the game. And you’ll be surprised how many young- sters have to get into the professional end of hockey before they are taught how to skate properly.” Rolf adds also that the affluent society may have something to do with youngsters in Canada not' having the proper desire to be the best at their profession. “I may be off base here.” he said, “but all too often youngsters want to take a short-cut. If it’s too much bother they’re willing to get by the best way they can.” Rolf stated that the NHL clubs have figure skating experts who put some of their players through how-toâ€"skate sessions which, I guess, must prove something. SPIN, SPIN Some tots end up spinning like tops, others lean on imaginary sticks and end up taking realistic tumbles, still others manage to fall in other myster- ious fashions. Of course there are many more who pick up the proper way to do it right away or soon after and it’s clear sailing. But that’s the name of the game. Rolf, who originally hailsfrom Vienna, is gradually teaching the youngsters the proper way to get the job done with a minimum of excessive moves. Rolf lined the stickless combatants up along one blueline, took whistle in hand and blew, and off the boys went. Yes. the bodies dropped here and there as the line spurted for the other end of the yink skating in various ways to improve their skat- mg. A questionable analogy, agreed, but that’s the impression I got while peering myopically down on the ice surface at the new arena the other evening at a string of small and not-so-small youngsters being taught how to power skate. w 7 '"-u Teacher was Rolf Adomeit who is the pro instructor for the Richmond Hill Figure Skating Club and the man running the power skating school for Richmond Hill Minor Hockey Association players. Learn Properly, Now Somehow it reminded me of one of those wide- screen Hollywood war epics. You know, the long shot of a wide line of troops plodding down the valley into the teeth of enemy fire. Here and there along the line bodies would drop as the rest moved relentlessly along. . _ . .. .c :1 He felt the situation might differ a trifle Europe where hockey is not the accepted thing itself. “Over there I think the youngsters are more eager to do something right. They tend to be more technical. They’ll work at skating until they master every detail of it. Of course, this is probably be- cause it's a relatively new type of sport to them and they don’t take it for granted.” Rolf himself has been working at the technical end of figure skating for a number of years and he’s but 25. He’s skated in top ice shows through- out United States and Canada. He’s now a resident of Willowdale. As for his current power skating duties. “I don‘t try to be too demanding," he said. “I don’t like people to tell me what to do and I imagine kids are the same way. But you have to have some discipline out there. “If you get four or five youngsters doing the opposite, turning the wrong way, first thing you know the other 15 or 20 are following them.” Rolf doesn’t like shirkers out there either. Shirkers end up doing push-ups at the side of the rink which is always guaranteed to bring gasps of sympathy from overweight fathers looking on com- passionater from the sidelines. “He’s up to 14 pushups.” gasped one father. “I haven’t been able to get past two for the last 20 years." And so it goes. Chairman of the “school” committee for the minor hockey group, Eric Girdler. said the response has been terrific. The school will continue until October 11 with sessions every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 6 to 9 pm. And, oh yes. In case you’re interested in the “Arts”, Rolf has an art gallery going for him. It’s called "Studio 76” and it‘s located in the Town Mall at St. Clair and Yonge. Drop in and soak up the atmosphere.

Chamberlain’s had different opinions scoring one in the first, four in the fourth and added two in the sixth before the locals managed a single run in the eighth. Dale Flynn started for Cham- berlain’s and set the Clothiers down with six hits while strik- ing out 10 in a route-going performance. Larry Guio went five and a third innings for Kent’s before being relieved by Selvage. Guio didn‘t have his stuff and was hit freely by the winners. Guio struck out three, Selvage four. Chamberlain‘s third baseman Doug' Hartley opened the game with a single, went to second on a wild pitch, was sacrificed to third by Bob Bur- ton, and scored on W'arling’s Chamberlain‘s narrowed the margin with single runs in the founth and eighth. Singles by Doug Hartley, Keith Warling and Clive Gregory accounted for the fourth inning score. Hartley reached first in the eighth after striking out when Shelston was unable to find the handle on a Selvage knuckle- ball. He moved to third on Warling‘s second single of the game and scored as Ken God- dard flied out to centre. Kelson, playing first base in the absence of Billy Hunter, was the top hitter for Kent‘s with three singles and three runs-bat- ted in. Smith and Ball had a double, and single apiece. Shelston was cred- ited with two singles and batted in one run. Warling had two singles for the game. Jack Benedict’s triple in the sixth was the big blow for Chamberlain’s but he was prevented from scoring by a fine throw by Kent Centre- fielder Craig Dunnett. In this one, Kent’s gave the impression that all they had to do was put in an appearance and claim a verdict. take in the second half as they ripped through the lighter, but game Southern Blues line for three touchdowns by big Jim Sinfield. This victory pretty well clinched first place for the Bombers and turns the balance of the league into a race for number two spot. Offensive signal caller John Stokes for the Bombers sparkl- ed all the way. Upcoming games Saturday at Crosby Park sees Crosby Park tangling with the Bombers on the first while Southern Blues meet Westsiders on the second field. Southern Blues Mario Dep- erio tackled gamely, ran miles, but was alone most of the time. An exhibition game between the Civitan Referee’s Corps and High Park YMCA saw the official-boys winning handily by 18-6.

The local team received an invitation to play St. John’s Training School next week. Eh}: “iiihetal Two two-run homers ‘broke the game wide open in the ‘fourth. Ken Goddard crashed ‘the first one to deep left fol- lowing a single by Jack Bene- dict and Jim McDowell planted his in right field after John Mc- Donald had hit a one-bagger. The winners added two in the sixth as Bob Bodkin reached first on an error. Wally Jarvis singled. Selvage replaced Guio and was greeted with a run scoring single by McDowell which also moved Jarvis to third. Jarvis scored on 3 passed ball. Kent’s lone score came in ‘the eighth. Dunnett walked. Shelston singled sending Dun- nett to third. Dunnett was trapped between third and home as Watson reached first on a fielder’s choice. Smith singled scoring Shelston. Big leader for Chamber- lain was McDowell whose home run and single drove in three runs. Ken God- dard also had a home run and single. Benedict chip- ped in with a double and single for the winners. Shortstop Brian Clark had two hits for Kent’s and reached base on another occasion. Kel- son had a long double in the ninth.
