The big news this week
was the Grey Cup story. I
listened to all the postmortems and after combining them with what I saw
myself, I arrived at the
following swnmary.
The Lions dominated the
first half and could very
easily have added at least
another touchdown during
that part of the game. When
the Argos lost Conredge
Holloway at the half, it
looked iike the Lions would
be home-free, but Joe
Barnes came on and really
made bis presence fell He
did not do everything right
I but be did move the Argos.
The Lions, after their first
half domination, couldn't get
going.
Barnes' persistence paid
off and be put one drive
together to go ahead by one
poinL It was 18-17 and the
game was won. My opinion,
for what it's worth, was that
· the fans enjoyed a game in
which the team which put
• .the most into it came away
. with the win.
We, in the Rossland
Legion, enjoyed the telecast
at a brunch in the lower ball
with around 50 in attendance. It was quite a
noisy party as opposition

Glover, George Eastcott and

well-received meal for the
guests, while earl Osing,
Ron Young, Chuck Harkness

group who served up the
refreshments. All in all, it
was a very pleasant way to
spend Grey Cup Sunday.

This weekend, the Ackerman,
Brenda
Warriors will play host to
Grand Forks on Friday and
travel to Nelson Saturday.
We can only hope the rest of
the team stays healthy and
the injuries of the rest heal
quickly. The only game I
saw last week was the
Friday night game versus
Beaver Valley and
Rossland's power play
seemed to be sadly lacking.
Time and time again they
enjoyed a man-power advantage and the Nite Hawks
stymied them, a few times
with just three players. Rob
Trusdale came up with some
sparkling saves.
Added entertainment at
that game was music by the
Rebekah Rhythm Band,
better known as the Granny
Band, a group of elderly
Rouland ladies who have
played together for some
time. Their music sparkled
along with their personalities.
In the banner department,
it was Donna Johnson, the
winner for an effort that said
"Tomahawk those Nite ·
Hawks" and honorable
mention went to the
Rouland cheerleaders led
by Golden City Queen Tara
Holmes.
In the other events over
the past weekend, the mixed
curlers had a one-day's
'spiel. It was well attended
and from what I bear, it
must have been quite a party
going on until the early hours
of Sunday morning. Anyway,
when the smoke had cleared..
Jim Bateman was the-;-'A.J
winner. Jhn had Helen
Blackie at third, Bert
Morrow as bis second and
Joyce Woods throwing lead
rocks. Runner-up in "A" was
the Jon Holm rink. In the
"B" side it was the John
Habicht foursome, winning
out over Mike Kraftchick's
rink.
