Jamboree slow start for Dickerson and Warriors

By SHARON STUCKMAN The Warriors had problems getting their offense moving at the North Wood Jamboree. Plymouth was a tough opponent to start the season with. In the first play the Warriors lost possession to Plymouth on a fumble at the Wawasee 26 yard line. The Warrior defense battled, but after six carries Plymouth’s fullback, Marc Hessler, made the touchdown and extra point to make the score 7-0 with 6:41 to go. i Volleyball officials to meet at Warsaw Volleyball officials of the Northern Indiana Officials Association will hold a rules interpretation clinic and workshop on Saturday, Aug. 23, at 8 a.m. in the Warsaw High School gymnasium.

Motorcycle observed trials to be held this Sunday

By STEVETUCKER “About as exciting as watching paint dry,” that’s the comment sometimes associated with motorcycle trials. Usually it is made by close-minded people watching for the first time. But what they don’t realize about trials is that they are one of the most scientific and challenging of any participant sport. What exactly is trials? They are a form of competition that began evolving in England shortly after the invention of the motorcycle. Today’s contestants, riding specialized bikes, are graded for their ability to traverse over difficult terrain without stopping or touching their, feet to the ground. It’s scored like golf. Low score wins. Observed trials is one of the cheapest, safest and easiest form

On the kick-off Pat Speicher made a nice return to the 35 yard line, but the offense couldn’t gain a first down and the punt by Mike Brian was blocked, giving the Rockies another break. With the ball on the 15 yard line the Rains subside, races held at Tippecanoe After the lack of wind discouraged sailors two weeks ago, the rain kept some skippers away on Sunday, Aug. 17. A dozen skippers weren’t daunted, however, and voted to race later if the rains subsided, which they did. The first of three races was sailed in a super sailing wind, the second in medium wind, and the third in almost no wind. However, the rain stayed away long enough to finish the races. In the Hobie 16 class, Howard Johnson of Euclid, Ohio, came in first; Jason Davidson of Leesburg was second and Stan Hoffacker of Union Dale was third. Phil Jung of Converse was first in the Hobie 14 class, David Ponseler of Leesburg was second and J. B. Van Meter of Warsaw was third. Only Ross Stevens of Leesburg sailed in the Open Class in a Rebel. In the Small Class, George Buckingham of Goshen was first in a Sunfish. John Hayes of Leesburg was second in a Super Porpoise and Jeff Laderer of South Bend was third in a Sunfish. The final regetta of the 1980 season will be held for two days over Labor Day week end. The first three of five races will be sailed on Saturday, Aug. 30 and the final two on Sunday, Aug. 31. Skippers meetings will be held at 11 a m. on both days at Paton’s Marina with races starting at 12 p.m. After the races on Sunday, a family potluck will be held at Howard Johnson’s at which time awards will be made and the annual meeting held. Skippers of all classes of sailboats are invited to participate. For more information, contact Jim Murray, r 2 Leesburg.

of motorized competition to get into and have fun with. It can also be the most challenging. Any newcomer to motorcross can ride around most world championship race tracks. But few trial novices can make it through world championship sections. Come and see these “acrobats of motorcycling” in action. The Indiana Trials Association is sponsoring an event this Sunday, just three miles northeast of Milford. There is no charge for spectators. Anyone wanting to ride can enter the novice enduro class, designed for any dirt bike other than a trials bike. The location is one mile east of the junction of US 6 and SR 15 on US. 6 to CR 123, then south one mile. The event starts at 12:30 p.m.

Rockies didn’t have too far to go for their second touchdown of the evening. This time Hessler’s kick was no good, making the score Plymouth 13 Wawasee 0, with 2:13 to go. Again, the Warrior offense couldn’t seem to move the ball and the quarter ended 13-0. Against Northridge the Warrior defense looked good, but the offensive problems were evident. The Raiders intercepted a pass early in the third quarter, but an offsides penalty and good defense by the Warriors again gave Wawasee possession. Wawasee took possession on the Northridge 48 yard line, but was unable to move the ball for another first down. Mike Brian’s punt was a long one, into the end zone. The Warrior defense worked Northridge for lost yardage and they again recovered the ball, after a Northridge punt, on the Raider 35 yard line, where a fumble by Wawasee caused another quick turnover. The Raiders took possession on their 37 yard line. On second down Northridge’s Erickson completed a pass to Rick Greve, who was stopped at the 15 yard line by Mark Dewitt. Another pass would have been a touchdown but was called back for illegal procedure against the Rockies. On the next play Chris Bornman recovered a fumble when Erickson was hit hard by Warrior defense with only 12 seconds to go. Neither team could score and the period ended 0-0. In the first quarter of the Jamboree North Wood defeated Northridge 7:0 on a touchdown pitch from quarterback, Alfanb to Jeff Lengcher and Alfano’s extra point kick. In the fourth quarter the Panthers were again victorious, defeating Plymouth 7-0 on a pass from Mark Alfano to Ron Bigler and the PAT with 5:26 left in the game. Friday night Wawasee will face Warsaw at home. / 7 Ladies a Golf Ks/ \ A Results J! MAXWELTON Low Putts was the play of the day at Maxwelton.

Comment On Sports OLYMPICS * * * By **** Ffitchie

WASHINGTON, D. C. - Russian sports competitors in the recent Olympics ran away with the show and were more dominant than any nation’s entrants have ever been, even those of the U.S. in the immediate post-war years. Os course, U.S. entrants would have taken a number of medals but no one thinks they would have collected more than the Russians. The USSR total was 80 golds, 70 silvers and 47 bronze medals. That is almost four times as many as the athletes of Great Britain, Italy and France combined-the major western nations in attendance. Even more eye-open-ing is the fact that the eastern, communist nations dominated the games. The top medal winners, in order,

District Wildlife Biologist, RR 2, Kendallville. IN 46755. A maximum of 50 per cent of the special hunting permits will be issued to landowners or tenants. A landowner or tenant is eligible for one permit only, for himself or a member of his family. All state hunters not eligible as a landowner or tanant should use the application for special deer hunting permits that is attached to deer licenses. Be sure to writein NORTHEAST on this application to be considered for the special four-countv hunt.

were Russia-197, East Germany (population 17,000,000) 126, Bulgaria (population 9,000,000)-40, Hungary (population 10,500,000)-32, Poland—3l and Romania-25. Not a western nation won as many total medals as any of these top six nations, and little Cuba won more medals than any western country except Great Britain. Cuba won 20 and Britain 21 medals. All of which shows that the competition in the Olympics is not even or fair, any longer, by western standards. The communist countries take on sports programs as national government projects and they are running away with the honors, and reaping much propaganda hay. That’s what’s causing talk today of a free-world games.
