| The Way I See It

r

By GARY OAKES
Sports Editor

| Sunday is usually a dull day in Prince Rupert with little
else to do other than watching the gals stroll around town.
But sooner or later a guy gets tired of all that beauty
and has to turn to some other form of recreation. Either he
gets tired of it or gets belted by his wife. For the former

reason I dropped out to the Prince Rupert Rod & Gun Club, .

opposite Oliver Lake, a few weeks back.

T enjoyed myself so much trat Vl probably be out there
every Sunday possible. And when I can scrape up $5 Tl buy

-@ membership to make it legal.

There are many things out there to keep everybody occu-
pled for the entire day. For a few hours a buy is able to
roreet, the tensions and worries of the working world and
elax.,

There's trap shooting, target shooting, cribbare pames,
dart throwing, a scenic view and plenty of good food, hot
coffee and charming company.

It's great for the fellow who loves the outdoors bul starts

puffing before he. reaches Galloway Rapids. Of course it's
«-also good for the true sportsmen and his family. The club

Welcomes wives and childten as well as the husbands.

The most popular feature of the club house is the weekly
mecting of the “Bullshipper’s Club". This is a club within a
club and is open to both members and non-members of the
Rod & Gun Club alike. Incidentally, the object of the “Bull-

_shipper’s Club” is not to ship’ bulls.

At any rate, a good time is available at the club house for

. everyone. Why not drop in soon?

Native tourney starts Tuesday

“One cf the fellows involved in Tuesday's floor hockey
game scemcd to be suffering the effects of too much to drink
(not water). It didn't help to improve the pame any and
wasn’t an cxample of good sportsmanship.

The flcor hockey games have improved considerably in
the past while and a thing like drink could throw a monkey
-Wrench into the works, There's a time and place for every+

* thing. Drinking is fine for those who like it but it has no’ ad

business at any athletic event,

++ The Third Annual All-Native Basketball Tournament be-
gins at 8 am, next Tuesday and will run through until Satur-
day nieht. Sunday will be used to play all-star games. The
schedule has been drawn up and the teams will be placed on

on be Dist Monday night on a draw basis.

 
  

u#gto- This will certainly be the biggest tourney ever held and

Will probably be the .best..

Games will be. played each morning, afternoon and even-
*ing throughout .the'fourney. The tab is reasonable and the
“action promises tdbé “fast and sharp. Take in a few games,
you'll enjoy: t. er Better yet, take in the entire tourney. It’s

{ lence you: won’t forget.

g*of basketball. last night’s action between Rain-
‘and'New. Metlakatla was extremely good. Although

 
   

 

 

    
 
  
  

=i jain péred: by lack of height, the Alaskans displayed plenty of
-#qustle: and-some sharp passing.

ui They may not win many
mes but will certainly put on a good show.

“., Coach Roger Reitano, who teaches at New Metlakatla High

~ School. has been training the team for two years now.

Rainmakers need money

Reitano took over the job last year, shortly after leaving

; UCLA where he played ball for two years. He said that when

-he first began coaching the team, most of the players “didn’t

know basic tundamentals”. The tall, well-groomed coach felt
the boys were “coming along well”. He added that by next
year in Metlakatla’s home gym, ‘‘we should split a two-game
series: with your boys.”

_ Referees Gus Nickerson and Mouse “300-pound” Morrison
will be glad to learn that Reitano felt the officiating was “as
food as we'll see it anywhere”. Of course we don’t Know how
bad or good the refereeing is elsewhere.

By the way, the Rainmakers could use every fan possible
tonight. The money raised from this series will be used to
help pay the team's expenses to Vancouver to play in the B.C.
High School Basketball Championships next month. They’)

~~ “be representing this area if they win the zone tourney to be

 

held in Kitimat March 9 and 10. And unless something dras-
tie happens. like Coach Don Hartwig quitting the team to
take up curling -- Rainmakers should have little trouble cap-
turing the zone title. Tonight’s preliminary game starts about
7pm so why not hustle down to the high school gym and
treat yourself to a bit of fine entertainment.

THE LAST END: An article from a U.S. magazine claims
that “Foot for foot, a softball travels faster than a baseball.”
The magazine conducted a test which showed that the base-
ball travelled 95.55 miles per hour while the softball moved at
“no less than 98.8 mph!” It's a statement which will start
mnany arguinents, to say the least. More on this next column.

HALIFAX ( ~—- Saskatchewan,
which has won the Canadian
schoolboy curling championship

seven times since 1950. taday
was virtually assured of its;
eighth victory.

Only an upset in the last two
rounds of the 1li-round tourna-
ment can halt the march of the
Speers, Sask., rink to an unde-
feated record. Entering today’s
play, Mike Lukowich’s crew had
eight wins and could afford to
lose one of its two remaining |
matches and Still clinch the title.
They play Northern Ontario
at 9 p.m. and Quebec at 4 p.m.
Quebec, if it plays as well as it
has occasionally, will provide the
most trouble.

Saskatchewan's sweep of the
championship became almost
certain Thursday night when
Lukowich downed Manitoba 6-5
in a match which would have
tied the two rinks if Manitoba
had won.
