PAGE 20 TERRACE BAY NEWS FEBRUARY I4, 1973 Sports Slants - cont'd Guidolin has assured that he's going to command discipline from his players- Orr and Esposito included. "You have to hurt your bodies to win in this gamé said Guidolin. "When it hurts, you have to dig down a little deeper and keep going. That's what we're going to do." Guidolin is noted as a believer in conditioning (although I know he used to be a pretty good beer-drinker when he played senior hockey in my home town of North Bay in the 50s, after his NHL career). Most important, though, he believes in discipline. Given a free hand at coaching, he'll get it. And if guys like Esposito get on his back, Sinden will have only one other objective .. take over the coaching chores himself, and show these prima- donnas what disciple is all about - or start looking for another job. NOTES: Word is that at least five current members of the lowly California Golden Seals have been offered WHA con- tracts for next season that would earn them anywhere between $75,000 and $125,000 a year. No doubt players from the Seals aren't the only ones who've been approached by WHA clubs ... Glenn Hall, the former NHL netmind- ing great, is sticking close to Alberta Oilers of the WHA and has tended goal in many of the club's practices. Some say Glenn just might don the pads in regular games if the Oilers suddenly find themselves battling for a playoff berth. He's apparently been dazzling during practices ... Movie star Bob Hope is rumoured to be interested in spending a pile of dough on Los Angeles Sharks of the WHA. Those poor Toronto Maple Leafs. They must have been burning a few weeks ago when one of their former players, Jim Harrison, now with Houston Oilers, scored three goals and picked up seven assists (IO points) as his team beat New York Raiders II-3. Leafs could use that kind of talent. Mrs. Brenda Dalph and son Jeffrey of Thunder Bay visited with Mr. and Mrs. Mills last week. Mr. Mills is in Toronto this week taking a managers course sponsored by the 1,,.C.B.O. TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN ala a THE TORONTO SU)N] synpicATE Donny looks like a merry little soul and much of the time he is. A lot of illness in his 14 months tested his temperament as he was in and out of hospital for treatment and tests, and of course, this delayed his opportunity for adoption. Now some of his troubles are over and others are dismissed as minor so the Children's Aid Society feels he is ready to become part of a family. Anglo-Saxon in descent, Donny is an appealing baby with beautiful reddish-blond curly hair, big brown eyes and a delightful smile that shows at least some of his six teeth. When Donny feels well, he is a happy, contented cuddly boy who laughs a lot and loves to hear his own voice squealing. He enjoys other children and is fascinated by small babies. Donny has developed more slowly than normal and is func- tioning from two to five months below his age. This pattern is expected to continue. His left arm and leg do not appear to be growing as fast as the right. Otherwise they are normal and the difference is barely noticeable. He may need surgery later on his left foot but this will not be known for a year. Donny has had a number of infections and has been tested for hydrocephalus (build-up of fluid inside the skull). There is no evidence of this but he is to have regular checks for a time -- just in case. Donny's problems do not mean that he requires more care than a normal, healthy child, but he does love attention. He eats and sleeps well and is on a regular diet. He can entertain himself but prefers to have company. Heart-touching Donny needs parents who can take his medical history in their stride and whose academic expectations are not high. To inquire about adopting Donny, please write to Today's Child, Box 888, Station K, Toronto. For general adoption in- formation, please contact your local Children's Aid Society. oH
