The controversy arose when Linus Mack of East grand Forks Minn., passed Winnipeg Veteran and last year s Champion Lou Kennedy on the final turn of the last Lap heading for a Check ered Flag and first place Money of the problem however was that Mack s Nephew Todd had blown an engine at the top of the turn spraying Oil All Over the track forcing flagman Pat Mooney to bring out the yellow caution Flag. There is Only one said Ken who had slowed Down when he encountered difficulty upon hitting Todd Mack s Oil Slick. You can t win a race on a yellow Flag.

Also when the yellow Flag came out after the White Flag that ended the at first it was thought that Mack would receive the Victory.

By Jeff Blair thanks to the urging of a physical education teacher at Thompson s . Parker collegiate three years ago Rick Jones finds himself perched on the Edge of a potentially outstanding track career. Shrugging off the effects of a strained hamstring Jones sped to Victory i the senior boys 100 and 200-metre races yesterday at the Kuonan collegiate athletic conference track and Field meet at University stadium. Both times were meet records. And his time of seconds in the 100 metres unofficially at least also ties the six year old Canadian inter High record. Jones could find himself in illustrious company. One of the record holders is current National team member Desai Williams. This is not bad for a runner who quit competing for a time five years ago be cause he kept getting blown i gave up running for three he said after his 200-metre performance. Then one Day my phys de teacher came up and said i should try running at our zone he competed for . Parker at that school s zone meet and enjoyed reasonable Success. Later that year he set three Junior Marks at the provincial b meet from there his performances took off. His track prowess spurred a move from Thompson to Winnipeg he has exploded on the local scene this year. I m very surprised at the times i be turned he said shaking his head. I still really Don t feel that Jones will have his Chance to set records next weekend at the provincial a meet. Unlike some of his fellow provincial athletes he has passed up an Opportunity to attend a More prestigious inter provincial meet in Saska Toon. It s not so much because i have a Chance at a record that i m he explained. It s just that with this sore hamstring i d rather run in a smaller his primary goal however is the Junior National team trials in Newfoundland july 26. Jones performance was just one Rea son Garden City captured the senior boys team Crown with 116 Points. Miles Macdonnell finished second with 82, while River East had 58 and Xii Donan East 41. Garden City also captured the Junior boys title by three Points Over Maples collegiate and 15 Over Kildonan East. The senior girls Crown went to River East with 107 Points Well ahead of second place Garden City which finished with 61. River East also captured the Junior girls. Seven other conference records fell. D results Page 70 Winni Eggers hold their own Winnipeg Racquet Allers made a Good showing last weekend As they competed among 130 players from five states and Manitoba in the second annual Southgate racquetball club open tournament at Fargo Linda Forcade of Winnipeg captured the women s open championship with a 21-2, 21-13 Victory Over Janet Alton of Williston Linda Scharf of Winni Peg won the women s Consolation event defeating Margaret Hill of Brainard Minn.

Hospitality rules Hamilton event the trip to Hamilton and the Canadian five pin Bowling championships As far As i m concerned was a Good one for the hospitality congeniality and excellent bowl ing. It was More sociable than other affairs i be encountered. Of course i was pleased with the Way Manitoba s classic bowlers came through to win two Gold medals and i know How pleased coaches Max Braitberg and Bernie Lanigan were. Head Manitoba coach Bob King was also pleased to see his open mixed team come through in the final Block to net a Silver medal edging British Columbia and South Ern Ontario in a close race. Manitoba s men s open team had an Excel Lent Opportunity to gain a medal when it began the last Day s Block but it was t to be. Headpins were the main cause of its prob lems and in a few cases pressure made some of the Fellows miss the Headpins plus a few Corner pins especially in the final three games. In fact in one game a strike made the difference of four Points and a win which could have changed the entire picture. Arriving on tuesday our contingent of directors and executive were treated to a visit to the press club. Later the group was taken to the Hamilton Golf and country club As guests of Sherwood lanes proprietor John Alpaugh. The affair was very impressive. In All it was a pleasant Welcome and everyone came away Happy. The awards dinner was Superb and the medallists were Given the Royal treatment. Credit must be Given to the Canadian five pin bowlers association for its work along with the sponsor George Fuller. All bases covered National tournament chairman Winni Peg s Norm Adelberg did a splendid Job of looking after the Winnipeg Crew. President de Lynch was his usual capable self while vice president Jack Hales of London ont., worked hard to make sure All bases of hospitality were covered along with program coordinator Al Hong of Calgary. Lesia Adelberg and Bette Landkamer made sure All the vips were looked after and Gerald Sidloski Manitoba president looked after our provincial group very conscientiously. Association Secretary Ray Landkamer also made sure everything ran smoothly particularly in the hospitality department. It would be impossible to describe All the Good Bowling that took place but one Bowler apart from the excellent Bowling by some of the winners was Joe o Brien of the it strikes me Hart Newfoundland men s open team who registered the top single of 399. Alberta had the Best singles combination of All the provinces in Dianne Morrical and Darrell Lagler. Lagler won the Gold medal and Morrical was two pins away from a Gold in the women s division. Their performances paved the Way for Alberta to win the aggregate Banner. It was Good to see two new entries in the National event Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia sent two bowlers each for the singles event. Bodes Well for future Gerard arbing of , made the fifth spot on the Stepladder finals in his first appearance on the National scene and this bodes Well for the future. Quebec sent a full contingent and had a Winner in the women s singles Christine Danis. The enthusiasm of the teams makes one think the quebecois will be More danger Ous As time goes on. Provincially Quebec has not been notable for its five pin activity As much As its 10-pin ners but mis can change in the future if what i saw was any indication. Northwest territories gave notice it will definitely be a threat in the future now that Bud Knight formerly of Shilo is competing there. The Hamilton appearance was the . Largest representation to Date with 23 bowlers and four coaches. Credit must be Given to the Fine performances by the Northern Ontario group. Association vice president Frank Mas Saro was one of the bowlers. Last year Massaro was a coach and at the time he expressed a wish to be Bowling. Many coaches share the same thought. This year Massaro exclaimed i should have stayed a despite his Bowling there was no doubt of his Pride in the teams. I had a Chat with Dryden Star Ron Stansfield. Stansfield netted a Bronze in the singles. I also met his dad Claude and the Pride in his son was very evident. This column Marks the end of the season for me but there will be stories upcoming on the National five pin finals of the master bowlers to be held in Ottawa later this month. Time for strike racing at Assiniboia Downs Are dissatisfied with the purse Money but Aren t prepared to withhold entries not just yet. A motion to withhold entries effective july 3 was soundly beaten last night by the membership following a lengthy debate Over the Lack of Progress in negotiations with provincial government officials for a larger share of takeout. Only six members four of them from the Peoples Sta ble supported the motion. David Miles a member of the negotiating committee told the meeting it was his opinion that the horsemen would t get anywhere with the government without confrontation. Lew Miles said the government has t Given us anything. Just a Bone. But we should t go on strike now. It s the wrong time. We should take action in the win Ter before the out of town horsemen g. Campbell Maclean president of the hupa opposed the motion and stressed the executive s Suc Cess in getting additional Money during the past few years. He said the govern ment was sympathetic to the horsemen and urged them to continue negotiating. Radial the Sale Ventura i Whitewall radials tir6 size replaces Reg.
