Page Twelve GULF 1SLWND3 Wednesday, October 22, 1980 Down the Gutter with Ken Collins This week saw three 800 series. Carol Kaye came through with a nice 843, including two 300 games of 338 and 303. Then from the men's department we had Terry Jenkins coming up with 856 (328) and 807 (301). Other good scores came from Darryl Little, 718; Loretta Dods (Slave), 709; Steve Marleau, 767; Frank Keoppel, 784; Alicia Baxter, 725; and this writer, 726. Three-hundred games came from Steve Marleau, 312; Carol Kaye, 309; Frank Keoppel, 321; and myself, 331. The bowlers of the week were Carol Kaye and Terry Jenkins. Don't forget the 10-game Bowla-Thon that gets under way this Saturday at 6 pm. There are both scratch and handicap prizes, with the prize money being divided equally between both. The handicap is based on your average and 250, which means that if your average was 200 you would get the 80% difference between 200 and 250, which is 40 pins per game, up to a maximum of 600 pins over the 10 games, so the lower your average the more chances you have of winning if you can bowl slightly over your average. The entry fee is just $15 (including your lineage). One of our new bowlers remarked to me what a frustrating game bowling was because the ball never went where he meant it to. Seems I've heard that one before. 1 find the best way to find if anyone is reading my column is to accidentally omit someone from the better scores of the week. Boy, do they soon let me know about it! Tip of the week Always walk in a straight line on your way to the foul-line to make your delivery. Y.B.C.

Does your TV have goblins or spooks in it Game a cliff-hanger Warriors wrangled to stalemate BY ED DA VIS The action could best be described as fast and furious this past weekend when the Salt Spring Wranglers met last year's division champions, the Peninsula Warriors, at a match held in Saanich at Centennial Park. The Warriors are appropriately named, but the Wranglers did just what their name implies and wrangled the Warriors to a stalemate. Final score, Salt Spring Wranglers, 1; Peninsula Warriors, 1. The game could best be described as a cliff-hanger, with play going from one end of the field to the other during the first 15 minutes. This was the third game for the newly formed Wranglers, and the first of the official league games. The match definitely helped bring the boys together as a team. GOOD DEFENCE Come together they did too, taking the play to the Warriors' own end during the final minutes of the first half. Numerous drives were checked by a well organized Warrior defence, and a keen Warrior goal-tender robbed Wrangler John Thomas of an excellent drive and shot. Another hard-fought effort by Troy Logan was deflected by a Warrior defenceman when Troy came up the wing and drilled a shot just inches from the corner post. The first half ended scoreless, leaving the Wranglers eager for more action after many near misses Ṡecond half action took up right where they left off with the Wranglers driving hard for a goal and keeping play in the Warriors' end. The effort finally paid off when Michael Brown intercepted a Warrior pass and took the ball up the wing. With Warrior defence closing in and the goal-tender coming out to cut the angle, Michael skillfully chipped the ball over the on-rushing goal-tender's head and into the back of the net. Ironically it was the same type of shot by an on-rushing Warrior in the final two minutes of the game that robbed Wrangler goalie Robert Calkins of Been thinking of a new set TREAT yourself to a COUGAR TV!

GREAT EFFORTS All and all it was a great game. The Wrangler of the week couldn't be determined as several boys put out great individual efforts. Forwards who worked hard throughout the game were John Thomas, Chad Davis, Jason Minvielle and Anthony Archer. Mason Scown and Ryan Stewart saw plenty of action up front, along with Troy Logan who never seems to run out of wind. Mid-fielders who saw and created plenty of action were David McWhirter, Renard Graham and the ever present Michael Brown. Defence was accredited to Jason Creed, Peter Spencer and Sean Albhouse. who all played well throughout the game. It was a hard and fast game with lots of support from both sides and both teams giving their all. The rematch for this one should definitely be an exciting one. Don't miss it if you can help it.

Wednesday, October 1 22. 1980 ,GULF ISLANDS DRIFTVVQjOD Page Thirteen Opposition out-classed by Salt Spring Kicks BYMELCOATES Salt Spring Kicks, 12; Juan de Fuca Do man's,0 This was an unfortunate game in that the Kicks completely outclassed the opposition. A game without challenge frequently becomes boring to watchers, officials and players. Boredom often leads to indifference and ultimately poor play, even dirty play. It is to the credit of both teams that this didn't happen. Most players on the field were playing hard even at the final whistle. The only player who could be accused of standing around was the Kicks' goalkeeper. Jack Andrews. Jack had so little to do he must have been bored. The goals came easily and frequently. Graham Lee scored on a rebound from the goalkeeper. Michael Blomley scored on a breakaway, running almost half the length of the field with the ball, then slipping it into the corner of the goal, out of the goalkeeper's reach. Andrew Hoeller scored twice, once from a penalty, and once from a high looping shot from the right wing. And Paul Cottrell scored and scored and scored, seven times in all; a first-rate performance. in defence, Lyle Brown was masterful, directing traffic, breaking up attacks and moving the ball back into the other team's half. In mid-field, Graham Lee was outstanding. His playing becomes more mature, more controlled with experience. The Kicks have opened their 1980-81 season with a bang. Not all of their games will be so one-sided but, from this point, it looks as if they will all be entertaining. Slugs roll over Saints BY BOBBY CLOBBER The Salt Spring Islanders (alias Slugs) men's hockey team roared back into action at Fuller Lake Arena last weekend with two decisive wins over highly rated opponents. November program prepared The following is the Salt Spring Trail and Nature Club program for November 1980. November 5: Joan Lott will lead a "Walkers' Choice" and Norah Ray will lead a hike on Mount Maxwell (the Garner Road route). Meeting place for both, Centennial Park at 10 am. November 11: Ted Brown will lead a walk to Maxwell Lake and Dorothy Black will lead a hike in the Donore area. Meeting place for both: Centennial Park, 10 am. November 18: There will be a walk and hike in Thetis Park. Jack Webb will lead the walk and Ruth Murfitt the hike. Meeting place is Centennial Park, 8:30 am, for the 9 am ferry from Vesuvius. November 25: Marjorie Beggs will lead a walk in the Quebec Drive area. Meeting place is Centennial Park, 10 am. Mary Sylvander will lead a hike on Lassie's Trail. Meeting place is Centennial Park, 10 am; Drummond Park, 10:15 am. First, the Islanders rolled all over the Mill Bay Saints 15-6 in a free-wheeling game that featured Ron Moger, Pat Akerman and Terry Stringer combining for nine goals - the majority of which involved three-way passing plays. Then last Sunday the Islanders crushed Bamberton Bruins 20 - 5, led by Dan Akerman's seven goals and stellar goal tending by assistant coach Wild Bill Hitchcock. Comprised of the remnants of the Mill Bay Misfits, last year's disaster at the Summerland Invitational Hockey tournament, the team is still a shoddy mixture of space-age hippies, Fulford cowboys, bleary-eyed teachers and other assorted outstanding members of the community. The team sponsored by Mel "Bones" Topping and Salt Spring Lands, has planned an ambitious schedule including tournaments in Gold River, Courtenay, Summerland and Golden.

MODERNIZE with PROPANE 537-2233 „ Strikers take league opener BYSTRICKAUST Strikers, 4; Hornets, 1. Saturday marked the opening of the lower Vancouver Island league schedule, and Portlock Park was the scene of the action. The Peninsula Hornets were new to the Strikers as we had not had occasion to play them before. They were big and their individual skills were excellent, but they lacked one quality which most of our island teams possess, and that's hustle. Our forwards tied their defence in knots with their quick moves and accurate passes. Out mid-fielders were on top of them before they could get organized and our defence (God bless them) were totally dominant in our half of the field. Although all the Strikers played well, our defence of Rob Minvielle, Todd Tamboline, Corey Culham and keeper Erin Fewings played faultless soccer, and due to their efforts the Hornets were held to only six shots on goal, and even their one goal was not really a shot, but a cross that slipped through Erin's arms and was deflected into the net. FITTING IN QUICKLY New to the defensive line-up are Corey Culham at left full-back and Erin Fewings as keeper. Corey is fitting quickly into the the Stikers' style of soccer, and his heads-up play in our back-field has earned him the confidence of the more experienced players. Erin played left wing last year but our need for a strong goalie saw him give up his position to take over the net-tending duties. This move has added a new dimension to the Strikers' style of play. Last year we were plagued with breaka-way goals being scored on us, but due to Erin's speed and his sure hands, our defence is able to push the ball back to their keeper, confident that he will corral it and clear it out of harm's way. Although two Striker goals were scored in the first half, the play generally was quite even. But despite our two-goal lead at halftime, we could not be confident of the win. As usual, all our goals were total team efforts and all four goals were scored by different players. The first, at five minutes into the game, was scored by Tony Mason on a long shot that went through the goalie's hands. The shot was set up on a perfectly placed cross by newcomer Brad Terrick. BACKING EACH OTHER UP The second goal, coming five minutes from the end of the first half, was scored by Peter Aust. The goal was a result of the Strikers' habit of backing each other up. A hard shot from the left side by Stuart Lyon was deflected by the Hornets' goalie directly on to the foot of Peter who hammered the ball into the back of the net. The second half was like a totally different game and although the Hornets scored early in that half, a goal by Stuart Lyon 10 minutes later took from them what was left of their drive. Jim Fogarty The goal came as a result of a penalty shot awarded to the Strikers. Although the goalie blocked the initial shot, Stuart corralled the rebound and drilled it into the top of the goal. With the Hornets playing halfhearted soccer, the Strikers took advantage of the situation to play tic-tac-toe soccer. Instead of throwing the long ball up, they were moving the ball with a series of quick, short passes. Our last goal came as a result of this type of play. After moving the ball up the wing from our own half, it was pushed across to Stuart Lyon in the middle, who pushed it through to Jeff Moger. Jeff worked his way by one defender and pushed the ball into the lower corner to close the scoring at four for the Strikers. Special mention must be made for the efforts of Hamish Lloyd at left half-back, and although Hamish did not participate in any of our goals, it was due, in no small degree, to his efforts that the Strikers were able to dominate the mid-field. Next week the Strikers travel to Victoria to play the Gordon Head R.C.A.F. Our record against them last year was two wins and a loss, but we hope to improve on that record this year.
