Individual awards were presented at the close of the day long meet and local schools accepted the major share of this victory symbols. Highlight of the day was Thomleas's Dan Dudrick, a 16-year-old high j u m p e r clearing 6' 4" for a new re- cord in York County. Other bright spots were Eleanor Mahol‘s smooth strid- ing to easily win the junior girls 100 and 200 metres, the two-girl battle between Liz Srebrnjak and Marnee Buc- kles for the 400 metre crown. and Bayview‘s Rick Carton pulling steadily away from the crowd to win the 3000 metre race. Bayview Secondary School took the senior girls, sem‘or boys, and Midget boys teanil trophies, Markham High] School gained the Midget- Girl's team trophy. RichmondI Hill High Schoolflthe Junior‘ girl's trophy, and Huron Heights in Newmarket won the Junior boys team trophy. Individual awards for top Athlete in each division went to Midgets Linda Neufeld and John Hothie of Markham, Juniors Brian Pembleton of Langstaff. and Liz Srebmjak of Woodbridge. In the senior section it was Bill Milley of Woodbridge and Dianne Dig- ging tying Nancy Wehrens of Bayview for the senior aw- ards. Had a ringside seat at a fight on the week- end. Nine of them in fact. No, no I wasn’t in some local bar. Strictly legitimate. It happened at the Richmond Hill Lions Club Sunday after- noon where Al Moss’ St. Gabriel’s Boxing Club put on their first show before some 200 or so fistic fans. It was quite *a two hours. It even featured the presence of Canadian Heavyweight Champion George Chuvalo who arrived looking like the side of a concrete building. Man, he looks tough. I wouldn’t want to be in the same town with him let alone in the same ring. Not even if he’s happy. FIRST SHOW Moss added that “this is the first time we’ve put together a boxing Show and we hope to make it a fairly regular situation.” I hope she does because, quite frankly, I enjoyed myself. I’ve seen many a scrap via the television tube but this was the first time I’ve been right there at one. Nothing beats being right there. Despite this, the bouts saw one rather dramâ€" atic knock-out which seemed to surprise everyâ€" one. “He left himself wideâ€"open,” was Al’s sum- mation of the fight which saw the Richmond Hill youngster get decked with what I would call a sizzling right hand. He sort of walked away and then ran out of legs and sort of floated to the canvass. However, he was up quickly and it was all in the game. If it’s any consolation to him I would have probably done the same thing. So to speak. I got a kick out of the first four or five bouts with the 11-year-olds. There was more enthus- (Continued on Page 18) George did a few bounds around the ring in the traditional fashion and, with a wave, was gone but it was an impressive few minutes to an impressive first try for Richmond Hill’s Moss. Sunday’s matches ranged from youngsters in the 70â€"poun-d bracket right up to the older age group who tip the scales around the 126-pound mark. Each of the fights went for three rounds lasting a minute-and-a-half apiece. The fighters all wore 16â€"ounce gloves (at least I think that’s what they told me) which aren’t supposed to do any great damage. “We’ve had a club for the past two years,” said Moss who runs things at St. Gabriel’s with the assistance of Ron Reid. “We have a mem- bership of about 25 boys ranging from 11 years to 18. They enjoy it.” â€" By Fred Simpson In the senior 1500 metre, IT’S A KNOCK-OUT Ringside Seats Sport Spots favorite Fred Robbins of King City received strong op- position from Bob Murrant of Huron Heights, and Bill Tobis of Langstaff to win in 4.25.0 less than one second ahead of his two pursuers. The senior 400 metre race was energetically contested with an unprecendented five runners all battling the Geor- gian Bay standard time of 54.5 seconds to qualify for the finals at Parry Sound. Paul Everett won the event with a comfortable 51.6 followed by Rick Carton. Brue Cook. and Ian Dawson. A surprise in the senior re- lay found Thomlea‘s girls team crossing the finish line first, ahead of Bayview. With workhorse Dianne Diggins pulling her team into first place on the last leg of the relay. Bayview's senior thrower, Nancy Wehrens took red rib- bons in the shot putt, javelin, and discus. to shared the seâ€" nior athlete award with Tho- mlea's Dianne Diggins who won the 100 metres. 200 met- res and long jump.

More than we’ve ever had." Some of the new additions include: “These fellows aren’t sec- ond-raters by any means but they will have to prove they can take over from power- pitchers like Bob Domik and Wally Dick. I'm especially high on Gionette who is young and strong. TOP HITTERS Cripps feels that his pitch- ing combination of Andy Gionette and Veteran Frank Marshall will “do the job for us" but also admits that hurling could be the only question mark on the team.
