Twirling becomes a sport Rangerettes win 40 medals WHEN MOST of us think of baton twirling, we think of little girls, marching bands and parades. Which just goes to show that we re- ally are unaware of what has been happening with this rapidly growing sport across Canada. Baton twirling has now reached the stage where it can be most closely equated with rhythmic gymnastics. The sport involves the op- timal use of the baton while the competitor does com- binations of gymnastic moves and dance steps. Since 1980, it has grown into a world recognized sport. In fact, last month the world championships were held in Calgary with 12 countries taking place. Canada captured third in the world behind the Unnsted States and Japan and the North Shore is expected to be making some big inroads YY Your United Way Support Helps People With These Problems © Arthritis * Blindness ¢ Cerebral Palsy e Child Beating Children’s Diseases ® Deafness ¢ Delinquency ° Disasters * Drowning» ¢ Elderly Loneliness ¢ Epilepsy @ Fami y Break up * Loss of Blood ¢ Mental Hlness * Mental Retardation *(And many mort ) Te into the national and national field future.

JASON BROW NORTH SHORE ARGOS try to maintain their hold on top spot in Juvenile Football today when they meet last year’s defending champion Victoria Hornets at Kinsmen Stadium in North Van at ! p.m. A victory for the Hornets could force a three way tie for first place in the league. Argos whipped Richmond Raiders 27-0 to gain sole possession of first place last Saturday at Minoru Park. Raiders, whose Junior team is currently ranked as the best in the Nation, were caught by surprise as the Argonauts sailed to 17 first quarter points thanks to an impressive defensive stand. ‘*Their offense gets the job done, but their defense just stops everybody and gives them good field position. | don’t think we started a drive outside our own 35 all day,”’ explained Richmond head coach Bill Haddow. The Argos have the best defense in the league to date, allowing only three points in four games. ‘‘l was impressed with our defense,’’ said Argo offen- sive coordinator Mike Flanagan. ‘‘The defense shut Members ‘The New” North Shore Winter Club 1325 E.

Dean Mende and Dave Dorey had outstanding games, Jamie Compton and Tom Adams were always in position, and Jamie Poole was superb on downfield coverage.”’ Defensive back Steve Ber- tram played a good game as well as returning an inter- ception 40 yards to set up the Argos final touchdown. Outstanding performances were not limited to the Argo defense, however, as the Argo offense scored 17 points in the first quarter. Placekicker Dennis Accili, who had field goals of 42 and 44 yards, leads the team in scoring with 42 points this season. The backfield tandem of John Smart and Gary Speranza combined for 152 yards rushing behind the superb blocking of the offen- sive line. After the North Shore’s ex- plosive first} quarter, the game started to even out, especially in the third quarter when Richmond held Argos to only 20 offensive yards. ‘*The score really just did not indicate how close the ball game could have been,”’ added Flanagan. ‘‘We are not 27 points better than they are.’”’
