2 Castlegar News iy 26.1907 =__Castlé SPORTS > Jn Golf Tips by WAYNE GAMBORSKI and DENNY McARTHUR It is now time to get to the heart of the issue, the mechanics of the swing motion. The importance of the grip and set up, our basic starting positions, must be re-emphasized. A proper starting position will allow us to make the golf swing as simple as possible, not making one wrong to compensate another. At this time we wish you to review your fundamentals to the point that they become natural as walking or eating. The motion we call the golf swing can be divided into three strata: laws, principles and preferences Laws are the undeniable forces of nature. Take gravity for example, there is no manner in which we can change the law to make Newton's ap- ple weightless so it will not fall. Physical laws are irrefutable and are proven time and time again with predictability and consistency. In golf we have ball flight laws, physical laws that determine what happens to the ball when struck. These laws include such factors as speed and the path in which the club is travelling. They determine ball trajec- tory, initial direction, curvature and distance and the various com: binations thereof. Once again these laws are irrefutable, predictible and consistent The next level, significant, yet of lesser importance, is principles. Principles are general or fundamental rules which explain something in nature. Principles explain the occurance of the ball flight according to the fundamentals of the golf swing. However, these principles are not laws, they are not irrefutable physical occurances. The principles are where all of the traditjonal instruction is based. There exist fundamentals of grip, posture, swing path, etc. of which golf instrugtion is consumed. The principles allow us to control the laws, but we must realize as students and teachers, that there will no one manner to produce effective results, One look on the driving range at any busy golf course you will see many different swing motions yielding similar results, but yet some fac tors such as grip will result in consistently better results To be continued next week Until then good luck and good golfing Second win for Bombers OTTAWA (CP) — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers humiliated the Rough Riders 43-32 Tuesday night to win both of their matchups with Ottawa in the Canadian Football League this season. Winnipeg's Tim Jessie, who carried the ball 199 yards on 26 tries, scored four times for the Bombers. Jessie slashed and pounded his way through gaping holes in the Riders’ defence. Ottawa quarterback Damon Allen had another stellar game, throwing 28 passes for 356 yards and leading his team’s rushing attack with 93 yards. But like the Riders’ first two games, Allen's performance didn’t produce a victory The other two Winnipeg majors came from Perry Tuttle and veteran James Murphy. Trevor Kennard con verted all the touchdowns and added a single Ottawa scorers were Denny Fer dinand with two touchdowns and Gerald Alphin and Ken Evraire with one each. Kicker Dean Dorsey also connected with a field goal and conver- ted one touchdown. The Riders also got two two-point conversions Winnipeg now moves to 2-1, with two wins over Ottawa and a loss last week in Hamilton. The Bombers beat the Rough Riders 29-24 when they met two weeks ago Robinson may be crowned a king in Los Angeles MONTREAL (CP) — Larry Robin- son will be set free to sign a three-year deal with Los Angeles, Montreal » match the Kings’ offer to the veteran Canadiens’ general manager Serge defenceman.

I think we showed him enough respect. If he wanted to finish his career in Montreal, he could have done so.”” Kings owner Bruce ‘McNall has scheduled a news conference Thursday to introduce his latest acquisition McNall admitted that Wayne Gret- zky — who joined the Kings in a bom- bshell transaction with the Edmonton Oilers last summer — played a role in wooing Robinson “Wayne reminded me about how Robinson can be much more than a great player — that he can be a charac- ter-builder for our younger players,"” said McNall HISTORICAL RELIC Robinson was the last fink between the current Canadiens and the classic Stanley Cup teams of the 1970s. Winger Bob Gainey announced last week that he would move to France next season to be a player-coach Problems between the Canadiens and Robinson developed last week when Robinson's agent asked Savard fora final contract offer Savard offered a 15-per-cent raise, as required by NHL bylaws, but the in- crease was on his base salary, and not on his total pay package The Los Angeles offer works out to almost twice wHat the Canadiens of- fered Robinson The Canadiens have a policy giving one year of severance pay veterans who fetire after 10 years more. However, Savard refused guarantee this to Robinson if he signed with another team. Murphy showed the crowd of 23,695 that Jessie wasn’t the only Bomber on the field as he teamed up with quarter- back Sean Salisbury for 134 yards and one touchdown on four passes. Ottawa looked like the 2-16 Riders of last season as they blundered through the first half, scoring only three points while they allowed their opponents 36. SCORE THREE TDS A fumble and two interceptions by the Riders put the ball in Salisbury’s control for much of the first quarter. He lead his team to three touch- downs in the first frame. Jessie scored twice and set up another touchdown — a two-yard pass to receiver Tuttle, with a67-yard romp. Softball history VICTORIA (CP) — Marylene Leclerc will make softball history next week but a local organizer of the Canadian midget boys’ tour- nament isn’t” exactly overjoyed aboutit Leclerc, 16, will become the first girl to play in the national event when she lines up in left field for Quebec on Monday. “The only positive thing I can see coming out of it is that it will give us a little more publicity for the’ tournament,” said|Pat Hall, chairman of the eight-team tour nament that runs until Aug. 6 “Some people, no doubt, will come out because there is a girl playing in-a national boys’ event But the people who work hard in softball programs don’t see this as agood thing.” She said top female players swit- ching to boys’ teams can only weaken competitive women’s sof- tball, which is already struggling fora foothold. Leclerc has been playing in boys’ leagues since she was 11 and was recently: described by Softball Quebec director Denis Bernier as “one of the most important elements on her team.”” Leclerc is playing with the boys because there is no organized league for girls in her hometown of Pont-Rouge, near Quebec City FIREBALLIN' . . .

In the next few years, en- thusiasm gave way to endurance — and the country was changed forever. This is part of a series marking the 75th anniversary of the start of the war. By JIMCOYLE The Canadian Press As the August civic holiday approached in the summer of 1914, the usual entertainments were anticipated with relish: picnics, rey.:ttas, Highland games, lawn bowling tournaments. : In Toronto, the Maple Leaf baseball club — long-ago forerunner of the Blue Jays — had a home date. Prime Minister Robert Borden had fled steamy Ottawa with his wife for some golf in the resort area of central Ontario. But within days, the world and Canadian lives would change forever Over the next few years, a romantic vision would fall from starry eyes in the muddy, stinking, corpse-littered fields of France. Canadians would endure rationing, heavy-handed recruiting and, eventually, conscription Women would get the vote. Booze would be banned. So-called enemy aliens would be interned, the use of foreign languages suppressed. Slackers and profiteers would be the dirty words of the era. And in a devastating maritime explosion, the city of Halifax would be flattened Few suspected how long and painful the struggle would be when Britain declared war on Germany on Aug 4, 1914 SANGIN STREETS Bert Remington, born in England in 1895, was 19 and two years into a job with the telephone company in Mon- treal at the time. He enlisted immediately “When the war broke out — you couldn't believe it unless you were there,”” Remington told the authors of an oral history on the war. ‘‘The country went mad! “People were singing in the streets and roads Everybody wanted to bea hero. Everybody wanted to goto war.’ The lure was patriotism, adventure and, in some cases, money ‘ The boom years under Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier had given way to a deep recession under Borden, anda soldier's pay of $1.10 a day looked mighty attractive. Robert Swan, a native of Yarmouth, N.S., who was fed up with the routine of his banking job, enifsted in 1915 atage21 *‘1 jumped at the opportunity to get free of some of the restraints that I had been under as a young person growing up,"’ said Swan, who reminisced about the war years in the oral history, The Great War and Canadian Society, published in 1978 ‘LIKE A FEVER’ Saskatchewan Premier Walter Scott wrote a friend that ‘throughout Canada, notwithstanding the very com. posite makeup of the population, there is only one sen timent in relation to the war everybody is en thusiastically supporting the action Jack Burton, a 13-year-old New Brunswicker when war broke out, recalled in The Great War that the propaganda of the day was extraordinary “Certainly everyone wanted to get in there and kill all the Germans, that's for sure “You know, banners waving and bands playing. It was just like a fever Many of the departing soldiers were convinced the job would be done by Christmas Through the -first-six- months, tives-changedtittte-at home, save for the absence of fathers, sons and brothers Fall fairs were held. The Santa Claus parade went on as and $70 for 8 a.m.-5 ch there will be a small craft safety demonstration taking place down at the public beach and all are welcome to at tend. Then at 8 p.m. there will be a small craft safety movie at the Amphitheatre in the campground. Other presentations for the coming week include a children’s movie, Paddle to the Sea, on Thursday at 8:30 p.m. and on Friday the park interpreter will be putting on a show about the gold mining and paddle wheeler days in the Kootenays starting at 8:30 p.m. Local attrac teed to be fun. To wrap up the week, the interpreter is taking a short hike up the Yellow Pine Trail. The walk starts at the gate house at 7:30 p.m. Be sure to wear shoes rather than sandals as there is poison ivy growing on parts of the trail. All the events in the park are open to everyone and are completely free. The only thing you are asked to bring is your enthusiasm. See you there WAR REMEMBERED those who gave their lives in the First World War are among tho who are remembered every year during Remembrance Day ceremonies. The start of the First World War marks its 75th anniversary Aug scheduled in Toronto. Sports fans still watched the football leagues, though some teams were hampered by the loss of key players who had gone off to enlist But Canada, still largely based on the farms and rural communities, was on its way to becoming a modern in dustrial society. The demand for goods in large numbers and produced uniformly helped streamline work methods The steel industry, among others, expanded and was stret ched to capacity WOMEN ACTIVE Women threw themselves into service work and, for the most part, filled the traditional roles of knitting, rolling and packing. But many took to the fields, streetcars and munitions factories, where their ability may have done more to win recognition from patriarchal governments than years of suffragistreform efforts. Sloganeering became a widely practised art: Do Your Bit. Give ‘til it Hurts. Pulpit thunderers spread patriotic tirades along with the Good Word The first 100,000 men had come easily as recruiting drives rolled through the streets. After that it was tougher, especially in Quebec. As the need for men grew in ensuing years, height restrictions, medical standards and chest size dropped. And a man no longer needed written permission from his wife to enlist Recruiting eventually gave way to conscription, a combined with other perceived offences — that would lock the Conservatives out of Quebec for the better measure part of acentury Regulatory power had been established over the production, distribution and consumption of food and fuel. Anti-loating laws were passed demanding that all men from 16 to 60 be usefully occupied FOREIGN SUFFER Government measures interning enemy aliens and banning foreign-language publications fostered neigh. ragged borhood feuds. German-owned businesses were trashed. In the southwestern Ontario town of Berlin, whose name was changed to Kitchener during the war, a statue of the Ger- man kaiser was flung into a pond. Hamburgers were called by other names. Orchestras stopped playing Wagner and Beethoven Peer pressure was enormous. War widows and the girlfriends of soldiers abroad accosted men in the streets demanding to know why they were not in uniform. Billboards pictured daughters sitting in their father’s lap, looking up and asking the chagrined man: “Daddy, what did you do in the Great War?”’ Posters declared: The Happy Man Today is the Man at the Front. But the brawny, beaming soldiers gazing out from the poster bore little resemblance to the gaunt, filthy, bug-bedevilled men in photographs sent back from the trenches. The War Measures Act — which along with other measures transferred the powers of Parliament almost en- tirely to the government — was designed to be as wide as possible since its architects confessed to having no idea what demands war would bring. TAXES START F.J. Dixon, a Manitoba legislator and opponent of the heavy use of emergency powers to ban some political par- ties, asked in an angry letter to a cabinet minister, “Whither are we being shoved? It might have served as the motto of {he generation And Dixon was not the only one disillusioned or misled. In 1914, Borden said there would be no conscription. In 1915, he told Parliament there was no plan to interfere with the business activities in the country The next year, Ottawa levied a business profit tax, designed as much, it said, to discourage profiteering as to raise revenue In 1917, the Income War Tax was introduced, claiming three per cent of the income of a family making over $3,000 or of individuals earning over $1,500. The government promised the tax would end with the war In addition to income tax, 1917 brought some trium phs and unspeakable tragedy. The intertwined movements for women’s suffrage and Prohibition each eventually had their day, with women getting the vote and alcohol being banned in many parts of the country HALIFAX BLAST In Halifax, closer to the war than the rest of Canada, more than 1,500 people were killed and parts of the city flat tened when the munitions ship Mont Blanc collided with another ship inthe harbor arid exploded While the Nova Scotia city struggled with the ghastly accident, elsewhere factories and schools were closed for lack of fuel. Citizens were urged to honor heat-less Mondays Enthusiasm for the war had long since given way to enduring. The struggle was grim and the pain heart wrenching as word of dead and maimed relatives came across the country home from Europe. War weariness set in On Nov. 11, 1918, the armistice was signed, though some fighting continued and the war did not officially end until August 1920 Anyone born as the war ended in 1918 is 70 now. Those who enlisted in their teens at the start would be over 90. If the war seems a long time ago, it was for Canada and Canadians of the generation the great divide In her memoirs written during the Second World War, Nellie McClung the great suffragist, reformer, legislator and author — described life before the civic holiday weekend in the summer of TOTS. “Looking back on it now, I inthe world do not think we had a care
