TERRACE BAY NEWS TRAFFIC SUGGESTIONS (continued) 2. Keep your car well-ventilated. Fresh air keeps you alert. 3. Allow yourself sufficient time to reach your destination and return home safely. 4. Plan your trip ahead of time. Maps shoul d be consulted before you set out, not when you arrive at a cross road. Indecision can and does trigger accidents . 5. Treat other drivers with the courtesy you would like them to show you. 6. Maintain a clear field of vision at all times. Be sure that luggage, boats and trailers don't obscure car windows. By Glen May When discussing various in- dividuals and teams from the athletic world during the last 100 years one can easily pro- voke an argument by insisting a certain athlete or team was the "best ever." This has been a favorite pasttime among sports fans down through the beer ages. You've all taken part in, or listened to, one of these group therapy lessons. Although there is seldom a unanimous decision resulting from these sessions, they are nevertheless, highly informative and inter- esting. Many sensible conclu- sions can be drawn from the talks, and it is surprising how well fans actually "know" their athletes and teams. By now you are probably wondering what this is all about? Well, being a loyal pa- triot, this native son decided to put forth a short quiz on North American sports. It will be easy as the research on the subjects has taken 31 seconds. It is unlikely anyone will score poorly, but it will still be fun. Okay. Let's grab a pen and joust with our memories. FOOTBALL: 1. Who has scored the most career touch- downs? He played in the east for 12 seasons retiring in 1965. 2. He played for Edmonton and caught 15 Passes in one game against Calgary in 1952. Who was he? 3. In what year was the first Grey Cup Game played? BASEBALL: 1. This old Ti ger stole home more times than any other major leaguer ever has. He did it 12 times in 1909. Who was he? 2. He retired 38 consecutive batsmen in two games. Two on May 21, 1959, and 36 on May 26. He pitched for Pitts- burgh. Remember? GOLF: 1: In 1959 he won the Thunderbird Invitational with a 266. He is one of golf's favorites and the all-time mon- ey winner in total earnings. Easy, huh? 2. In 1949 he won the Mas- ters. Slamin'.., HOCKEY: 1. This Maple Leaf defenseman scored 57 "Goodness! You certainly did misjudge that grounder, didn't you?" SPORTS BEAT As time goes by 'talk. June 29, 1967 points to set a record. He was | 'known as Babe. q . 2. Nels Stewart once scored | two goals in four seconds in| 1931 playing for Montreal Maroons. What team did he | score them against? TRACK: 1. Over 100 yards | he's the fastest Canadian on ' foot. He is from Vancouver and his name is. . .? 2. Answer yes or no. Ken Money high-jumped six feet, seven and three-quarter inches in 1956 at Melbourne? BOXING. He became the | heavyweight champion of the 4 world in the fastest time ever } ¢ when he kayoed F.P. in 2:06 # of the first round. That's an ¢ easy one. 2. This is one of those A.B or C questions. In 1945 there were 6, 14, or 2, deaths re- sulting from boxing matches? AUTO RACING: 1. This young Canadian was being hailed as one of the truly great drivers until he met death Tac- ing. Who was he? 2. Who has been the United States Auto Club champion for the past two years? There you are. Fifteen tough questions, but as somebody once said: "Who likes anything { that's easy?" However, a fair scoring sys- | tem will have to be worked out | as this type of quiz needs more 4 overall knowledge than those | which are on a specific subject. Anybody who comes through with 15 correct answers will be given my vote as being in- | human. Twelve to 15 has to be remarkable. Nine to 12 is bor- dering on being a genuis. Five to nine is very good .Three to | five isn't a shutout. Under three and you'd better listen at 4 the next session rather than '(THeIpuy ore) -z * (19 "SOT ATITG) "T (xIg) -g (uosyry] Auuos) 'tT '(S89X) 'Z '{(awor "or.
