Cripps said also that the late arrival of a Detroit team “a couple of weeks ago didn’t help matters any. We had to return about $300 in admission fees be- cause the team didn't get there ‘until 9 pm. Everyone had gone 'home. But this was just a minor reason,” he added. In his statements. Mahler said he always thought he had “good relationships with the Dynes management. However, since becoming world champs, I have had to subject myself to several requests including the :latest one, and the time has {come when I must think first about the league.” It was the final league game of the spring schedule. The Nomads started very well and caught the York backs napâ€" ping to go over for a try which they converted. They followed this with a penalty goal to lead 9-0. York,came back to narrow the margin to 9-6 at the close of the half. The second half saw York cnntinue to lose ground through penalties and Nomads scored their final try. It was a fr'ustrating game with the York team’s inexperi- ence showing in the number of penalties they picked up.

"3R wa‘s just {hat it was too much playing." Cripps added that his deci- sion to definitely withdraw came as a result of a vote among the players. “All of our players. with the exception of two, voted to with- draw. On occasions there have been players who said they wouldn't play on a weekend. What can you do?” Former NHL star Sid Smith, was in charge of proceedings and expressed satisfaction at the money derived from the tournament although he was slightly disappointed at the turnout. He said that a number of players paid their entry fee but were unable to participate. “Which means we expect to have realized some $1,500 which is very good.” The finances go toward the Centennial Nursery Home For Retarded Children in Toronto.

Car Talk Small cars safer There’s still a lot of people who consider small cars unsafe, or at least much less safe than larger models. This is based on what would happen in a collision situation where the riders in the heavier car usually come off best. Statistics show, however. that small cars are in- volved in fewer accidents because they have added manoeuvrability and small car drivers, knowing the disadvantages of their vehicles‘ size and weight. are generally more aware of accident avoidance tactics. The most common problems are control and ex- posure. Small cars go out of control because wind pushes them off course or because they lose their grip on the road. Rear-engined, light-weight cars have the most problem here. Your best bet is to familiarize yourself with over- steering characteristics and practise controlling a skid until it becomes second nature and not a cause for panic. Give the car more leeway in heavy wind con- ditions and resist the tendency to force your car back on a straight line. Keep the wheels as straight as possible and use the full width of the lane. If you can’t keep within it, slow down. As for exposure, small cars often get hit because they aren’t seen by the other guy. So drive defens- ively. If you haven't bought your small car yet. choose a bright color or a light shade for more visi- bility. Keep your headlights on during highway driv- ing. Use directional signals conscientiously and use your horn where necessary. Don‘t make any moves without due warning to the other cars around you. Learn to take advantage of your small car’s exceptional manoeuvrability. You can take evasive action that’s out of bounds for big cars. Small cars can stop shorter. too.
