0n the exhibition front the 'Jewellers downed the King City Intermediates 7-1 in an exhibition It seems the Jewellers had originally lost the game for failing to field enough players. In any case, the Jewellers could end up tied for the final playoff spot if. and, maybe, and so forth. they won their final two games. That's if they played them. They were slated to play Bradford last night (Tuesday) and. maybe. Scarborough. sometime during the week. This latter game depends on an executive decision to uphold an appeal by the Jewellers over whether the Hill team should get a chance to play it. As of writing, the Jewellers are four points out of the last playoff berth currently held down by Fred‘s Sports, who have no games left. ' That's the simple part of the plot. The rest is complicated.

Things get underway in the morning and it should be a good day. Drop around and watch the youngsters. The umpires, led by rookie pitcher Tom Price. hung .on to win the first game 18-16 over a combination team from the Ball Machine. Sudsers and Misfits. Com~ munications broke down over who won the second game but, needless to say, there was one big winner. Incidentally, goalie Gerry Kofsky, who played with the Jewellers last season (as well as briefly with the Rams) has been invited to the Winnipeg Jets’ camp of the NHL.

Acres and acres of them. Charlie is just back from a deep-sea fishing foray to darkest Kenai River in the Gulf of Alaska. Guess what he and his partner, Mills Hay of Seattle, caught? You’re right. “I’ve been fishing for big ones for the past 23 years,” states the 61~year~old Smith who lives at 278 Rumble Avenue. “For most of those years I’ve fished along the Northwest Pacific and the biggest catch I’ve ever come up with was 48 pounds. Smith got his 61-pounder from a flat-bottomed boat using a 30-pound test line while spin-casting. It took him an hour-and-a-half to land it.

CRITICISM There has been a sharp drop in the number of scholarships being offered athletes outside the US. Considerable criticism has been levelled at the use of State and Federal money. through the universities and colleges, to bring in outside students while ignoring American athletes. 70 PER CENT Academic standing of 70 per cent is expected prior to ac ceptance and throughout the school year. Student~Athletes who drop below 65 per cent may not be offered a renewal of their scholarship the following year.

Presbyterian, left this league to join another one. About two years later a significant number of the Reid club returned to the league as the Black Hawk Motor Hotel. (R. H. Firefighters).

HISTORICAL NOTES Are Linear Sound and Video and’ the Pizza Press clubs really expansion teams? I say ‘yes' and ‘no'. I invite you to decide for yourself Linear is a descendent of the ‘Centennial' team, organized by the league in 1967. to occupy the slot vacated by Barber Barrells, who had withdrawn in mid- season. following a dispute with the league. The Barber team was originally St. Gabriel’s Anglican Church. BARROW‘S WINS In the final two games of the regular schedule, Barrow‘s swept to a 15-3 win over Jack Blyth Real Estate and a 6-5 verdict over Kinnear Leasing. This is the second consecutive year that the Lake Wilcox team has missed the playoffs by a whisker. They missed it by one point. The loss by Blylh handed fouf'th place to Kinnear on a silver platter. Paul Hunter homered twice and Gord Wright socked one to pace the insurance man. good school record “Grade 12 is a critical year for young people looking for a scholarship in the U.S.," Mr. Thompson told The Liberal. “There is no grade 13 and the grading system here confuses a good number of the college registrars. “The better educational in- stitutions in the Sates," he added. “insist on the student-athlete being an above-average scholar.“ Toporowski qualified both as a student. and athlete, and has been accepted in the School of Fine Arts where she is majoring in Industrial Design. BE SELECTIVE Thompson has a last word for prospective scholarship seekers: The event or sport chosen by the Canadian athlete is most important. Discus, Javelin. Volleyball, are competitions where Canadian athletes can be competitive with their American counterparts . . . while sports such as tennis. swimming and gymnastics have us. athletes lined up waiting for financial aid." 881-2121
