Well, the Minnesota North
Stan did just what a lot of
people figured they could or
would do, they pulled out a
win on home ice for their
ever-loving fans, a 4-2 win
for which they were full
value.
Now the scene shifts back
to the New York area and
cne would have to say the
1981 demise of the North
Stan. Should this happen,
the North Star youth
movement bas bad quite an
effect on the game of hockey
and will be remembered for
their untiring efforts to
prove they are one of the
better teams that have come
to the fore in recent
memory.
On Saturday Pat Zanier
stopped by to ask us if we
know of any statisticians to
take care of some scorekeeping needed for the big
tournament being staged on
the weekend May 29-31. Pat
is one of the organizers
looking after the tourney
which will be held Cll Trail
and Rou1and parks over
that weekend. He tells us
that cloae to 40 games will be
played Cll the busy weekend.
So if you dig the game as
played in the Commercial
League and have a yen to
help out statisti~wise, call
me at 382-6205 and I will pass

your offer along to the right innings trying to describe
people.

low net were Bob Walley

Harold Dixon and Phil
Bateman all bad 35s.
In the least putts department Tim Jenkin and Sam
Martin were joined by one of
R-T's real veterans,
Rossland's own Leo Telfer,
with 15 strokes on the
greens, during play on the
first four holes. This bas to
be quite a feat since every
putt generated its own wake
as it rolled toward the hole.
Our foursome, second off:
the tee, was composed of
Jack Hook, who will no doubt
improve with practice,
Henry Matthews who is
rapidly putting his game

"jest awful."
Rounding out our foursome was U.S. President

Turning ato lacrosse news
for a moment, one of
Rossland's favorite sons,
Walt Christianson is making
his presence felt on the
lacrosse scene at the Coast.
Grant Fines was telling me
yesterday that Walter who
bas put in a lot of time
playing the outdoor brand of
lacrosse, will be training
later on this summer to play
on a rep team in a worldclass tournament.
Two boys who starred on
Rossland's team last
summer are also having
good seasons out at the
Coast, Jeff Eder for Vancouver Burrards and Bill
Thomas at Victoria.
To wind down this week I
would like to say "goodnight,
Jack" to my little .friend,
Jack Molyneux. Jack's been
having a bit of a bad time
and is now recuperating at
bis daughter, Joanie's,
place. Get well, Jack!
