WANNA BUY?: Everyone agrees that fundraising is a dirty job, but as the proverbial saying goes, somebody has to do it, right? Those chocolate bar drives, raffle tickets, they may seem bothersome to you but they often represent the lifeline of many sports organizations. A group relatively new in town is trying to take away the negative 'aspects of raising though. The Toronto-based Canadian Amateur tie Funding, a private enterprise endorsed by Sport rio, and coordinated in this area by field representative Vicki Storey, is set up to allow everyone involved to reap the benefits, Five local sports organizations are participating in the venture this year. The deal is that organizations are con- signed coupon booklets called Support Ontario Sports, which cost $9.95. Sound outrageous? Not when you consider that the coupons contain discounts worth well over ”won every- day items, such as clothing, shoes and auto repairs. And each booklet also contains tickets for draws on a car and vacation family package. Naturally. the buyer isn't the only one to benefit though. Each booklet sold brings in $3 for the team selling, and also money goes to Sport Ontario and its endorsing associations, such as Ontario Wheelchair Sports Association, which is this year's cause celebre. The rest of the money is distributed to field reps, administration and public relations of the program and profit (6%) to CAAF, as well as that old reliable provincial sales tax. So far Wa- terloo Y's Swim, Syncro Swim, and gym teams have can- vassed with the booklets, and the peewee Lakeshore Qhargers will wind up their fundraising efforts this Friday Titans drop 1st after win streak Tri-City Titans lost Satur- day for the first time this year in the Western Ontario Senior Basketball League when Chatham beat them 71-63 in a turnover-plagued contest in Preston.

And just think, if all 25 kids on the Chargers can sell just two booklets, it will mean a profit to them of $150. D0N'T FORGET RICHIE: In addition to Bill Bong. Rich Payne of WLU was also named to the ClAU all-Canadian team at linebacker. No one on the Hawk roster wanted to be on that field in Toronto last week more than Payne, but at least the dream team honor is some consolation. Speaking of Hawks, three formers, Doug Smith. Larry Uteck and Ouch McMa- are on the Montreal Alouette squad that will square off with Edmonton in Sunday's Grey Cup. Uteck was the hero of Saturday's Eastern final, returning an intercep- TUFFY CH01CE: A tip of the hat goes out to Laurier foot- ball boss Dave (Taffy) Knight, recognized as Canadian uni- versity coach of the year during last Week's College Bowl festivities.

And while on the topic of the Col- lege Bowl, a boot in the rear to Western Mustang coach Dar- win Semotink for accusing Acadia of running up their win- ning score Saturday. He has a pretty short memory, that's for sure. But Acadia doesn't. Western only did one thing wrong Saturday and that's why they lost. They played a far superior team. On that day, physically and mentally. BILL'S MONTH: University of Waterloo tight end BILL BOUG maybe wasn't on the best team in Canada, but he was picked best in his position. Not only did Bong make the provincial all-star team, he was also chosen all-Canadian tight end last week. And yesterday, Bong received recogni- tion at UW as the first male athlete of the week, an award which is scheduled to be handed out every week for the rest of the year. "At the beginning of the year, being named to the all-star team at tight end hadn't even crossed my mind," said Boug, a former quarterback. "But when I was picked all-star in the O-QIFC, I sort of thought I might have a chance at all-Canadian." Named first female athlete at the UW reception was field hockey star Lois Scott, co-cap- tain of the UW team coached by Judy Mche. A seven-year veteran of the New Brunswick provincial team, Scott was praised by McCrae for her leadership and physical presence that contributed to the team's success. A grad student head- ing for a PhD in the Sociology of Sport, she will be joining the Canadian national team for its winter workouts in Vir- gima.

Like myself, Mike had a lack of appreciation for soccer mainly through a tack of under- -standing of the game. But when his bosses bought Toronto Metros-Croatia franchise last year and turned them into the Blizzard, Mike didn't want to be left out in the cold. "After a lot of thinking, I decided that since I liked my job, and want- ed to keep my job. that soccer wasn't such a bad sport after all." lion all the way for a touchdown. He should still be in an Argo uniform but that's another story. And way to ‘go, Smitty, he was named Eastern conference all-star at cen- tre. It's about time he got some recognition after making the shift from guard in university to centre in pro several years ago. l THEN WHO'S COACH: Bob End. Kitchener Ranger's lovable yet often despised coach, had the boys howling at the Ranger press conference last Friday. John Thompson. Ranger PR man in charge of the gathering, asked everyone to make the meeting less formal by standing and identifying their affiliation. Everyone cooperated, but Ertel, who was sitting off to the side, somehow got overlooked. Thompson, who realized the oversight, then asked Enel, a liquor sales- man, to stand and be counted. "Bob Ertel, McGuiness Dis- tiileries" was the reply he got, which was really quite ap- propriate. You see, Rangers have been driving their fans to drink for most of the year. Ertel got slightly more on the laugh meter than well-known CKCO-CKKW sportscaster Bill lnlol, who announced he was from CHYM radio. GOOD TO SEE: It is heartwarming to see coaches of Wa- terloo minor hockey get recognition for what they have brought to the game in this city. For example, one anony- mous high-profile bench boss during last week's Gold Puck Tournament was lucky enough to have his picture taken and hung in the trophy case in the front hall of Waterloo Arena under the auspices of “El groucho coacho". Rumor has it there are other candidates for this award. Any player wish- ing to nominate their coach for "el gmucho coacho" con- sideration is asked to submit his reasons in 25 words or less to the “Get Chuck Neisen off the hook" contest. care of this newspaper. t1r11rrtqr,t?tter1tttta2_1t1tt1fte1f .
