Sport , Spat: § CELLOTAPE & GARBAGE BAG He joined the local skating club and has become one of their more successful young members. For example: He and Linda finished fourth in the Can- adiar finals last year. Needless to say: “I don't bother with hockey any more. I‘m too busy with figure skating.” Figure skating is a rigorous art as can be at- tested by Don â€" as well as Linda. Especially Linda. “When you're paired with someone." Don said. "you have to be right in time with one another. There are certain lifts involved. They’re not that difficult but you have to be in shape.” He didn‘t do bad at that either. In two years he was good enough to win the Southern Georgian Bay Secondary School Champion- ship in the 90-pound class. “I don't dd much wrestling now because I just don‘t have the time," he said. “My time is taken up with skating.” Don hasn't had any grievous experiences as a skater himself but he caused some pain for partner Linda. one time. “They were practising lifts in the backyard one day when he dropped her. “I broke. her arm", said Don in an I-don’t-want- to-taik about it manner. That’s the last time Linda let him practise lifting her in the backyard. “If we had been on ice it would never have happened,” said Don. “I would have more balance.” As for the future, Don hopes to be one of those eligible seniors from Richmond Hill for the 1976 Olympics. Just a few more mentions about young Donnie and Linda. Last season proved to be very successful for the twosome as they picked up three Gold Medals (Continued on Page 12) Don used to keep in shape by \vrestling at Bay- view Secondary School where he’s now a grade 11 student. a “I decided to try figure skating because I couldn‘t skate,” he was saying the other day at his home at 380 Bent Crescent. “I wanted to play minor hockey but I wasn’t good enough. I thought figure Ekating would do the job.” It id. year , . . I“ Im talking about Rich- BONNIE FRASER mond Hill's 16-year-old Donnie Fraser who will be competing in the Senior Sectional Figure Skating Championship Trials Decâ€" ember 1] at the Scarboro Centennial Club. He'll be paired with 14-year-old Linda Watts. She has been his skating partner for the past three years. Both are members of the Richmond Hill Figure Skating Club. Here’s where I get confused. The sectionals (which include top Toronto and area clubs) will see Donnie and Linda competing- as seniors. But if they qualify for the Canadian they will be competing as Junior Seniors. Don‘t ask me? Anyway. Don is an interesting story in himself. He's only been skating, yes, skating for five But, as I said, here I go again. If he and Linda are among the top thréé they will then enter the Canadian finals January 10, 11 and 12 in London, Ontario. I just have trouble writ- ing about it. That‘s all. I don’t understand how they score it, how they decide who is in what bracket and all that kind of aggrava- tlon. Here I go again. Writ- ing about figure skating always troubles me . . causes the furrows on my brow to lengthen and widen at the same time. Now don't get me wrong. I think it’s wonderful en- tertainment. I just love to sit there and marvel at the gracefulness of it all. Bal- let on skates. By FRED SIMPSON VOL. 95, NO. 24. Don‘t bet he won‘t make it.
