By FRED SIMPSON VOL. 95, NO. 30. , _ TheSr'x'e got their " I “ ' ' place. They are colorful. PET ARTEMCHUK And a heck of a lot of them are effective. They’re just not, my cup of tea. I don‘t like hollering at people, I don‘t want to be hollered at. > Which brings me around to mild-mannered Peter Artemchuk of Richmond Hill who has just recently taken up the rather weighty job of coaching ‘the Brantford Majors in the Southern Junior “A” Tier 2 Hockey League. Some rather more cautious souls would tend to suspect a suicidal tendency in a man who would come out of retirement to coach a team clinging precariously to the final playoff spot. having a 13 win. 23 loss and 6 tie record, beset with a long list of demoralizing injuries. Peter has vanolher word for it. He considers it a challenge. He's also an optimist. It all helps. A CHALLENGE “You might say it was a lack of challenge that got me out of hockey two years ago." mused the 39- geai-Qld Artemchuk. “It took a challenge to get me ac - 1n.” It was two years ago that I interviewed a some- what disappointed Artemchuk on the eve of his bowing out as coach of the Richmond Hill Legion Midgets. If memory serves me correctly (It happened twice in the past five years. I keep records. you know) that wasthe time Leamington beat out The Hill in the OMHA finals in the last game. “I figure that was the best team I've coached.” statescArtemchuk. “If I couldn't win that year I felt it was time I took a rest and figure out what went wrong." Enter the challenge bit. “I had coached the midget-s for the past five years. We‘d won the North York League every year. The challenge was virtually gone. I wanted to move up.” The opportunity to more up he had with three different clubs. But there were no openings for the place he wanted to stay. "I would have liked to have had a go at coaching the Rams.” he said. “But that was the year they signed Sid Smith. They were pretty well set. The other offers involved Junior “B” clubs, but I didn't want to go out of town when it would involve a lot of travelling. I decided to take it easy." Artemchuk was still active in the hockey scene only in the scouting end of it for several clubs on a freelance basis. , “I confined the scouting to Richmond Hill has- ically," he said. “I think we've got some fine “I confined the scouting to Richmond Hill has- ically," he said. “I think we've got some fine players and I would like to see them get ahead." His scouting was for clubs such as Peterboro and Lon- don of the “A” loop. It wasn‘t very surprising that some of his selections included names like Colin Wood, Tony Bellevance. Steve Addley, Scott Mabley and Larry Kellett, etc. They’d all played for Pete and they were with him that fateful year he lost to Leam- ington. â€"â€"â€"c- Most of his picks moved up to "A" and they are still there. In fact, he has a goodly number of Sport 5720!: He could be saying, “now this is a basketball“, but it’s really not the case.

Immediate Delivery The wonderful world of speed and competition Nations and manufacturers and people all over the world are always trying to prove somethingâ€"like they’re better. faster. more "achieving" than the competition. Time and time- again Japan has proven itself as one of the most “achieving” countries. It‘s manufacturers have built rep- utations based on advanced-design fine quality products. It‘s people are proving they can beat the best in the world at things that are new to the Japanese. One of the most remarkable achievements was that of Moroshita Masai-u. He skis. Oh boy. how he skis! In fact, he‘s the fastest skier in the world. Would you believe 113.887 mph? Masaru (now called "the missile") set a new world record of 113.887 mph in a ski speed competition known as the Kilometro LanciZ-to. or kilometer flying start on a re- mote and lofty glacier above Cervina in the Italian Alps. Dressed in a skintight outfit, crash helmet designed with points similar to the prow of a ship. and on a special pair of Kazama 240 cm. downhill skis weighing 20 lbs. he blasted down the mountain like a bullet in a super- streamlined "egg" position. Even his ski pole baskets were cone-shaped to reduce wind drag. The 117-pound champion beat the previous world record of 104.86 mph by a healthy margin. His time was followed closely by Nishi Masaru at 113.733 mph and Satoshi Shimizu at 113.539 mph.
