Seniors’ -
games
outstanding

Organizers and participants
declared the first annual B.C,
Seniors’ Games at Vernon, June
14 to 16, an overwhelming suc-
cess, and it will be turned into a
regular sporting event on the
province’s calendar.

Zone seven’s athletes fromm the |

Queen . Charlottes, Prince
Rupert, Kitimat and Terrace of-
fered high praise for the event
that attracted more than: 1,000
competitors and officials.

‘‘We had a ball,’’ said zone f

coordinator Arlene Bergh of
Terrace. ‘‘All the hard work
leading up to the trip made it
very worthwhile.’’

Medal-wise, Terrace’s Marion
Duffus came out with our best
showing. Marion won a gold in
the swimming relay and a bronze
in the butterfly race. Betty
Campbell of Terrace was the
gold medal winner in the but-
terfly event.

Dorothy Cheyne of Kitimat
and Sheila Caddy of Terrace
teamed up in tennis and won
silver medals for the ladies’
doubles.

Our men’s slo-pitch softball
team hit some tough opponents
and managed one win in four
games,

The games wound up with a
spectacular banquet and dance
on the June 16.

Our zone couldn’t submit a
bid for future games because we
lack a grass pitch for lawn bowl-
ing —- one of the sports con-
sidered a ‘must’ for any com-
muity wishing to host.

_Mrs. Bergh said a grass green
for lawn bowling might be a pro-
ject for this zone in future.

As for games next year, bids
have been submitted by Trail,
Chilliwack, Revelstoke and the
Kootenays. The winning bid will
be announced later.

Mike Brady honored

A long-time contributor to
soccer in Terrace, and youth
soccer in particular, was one of
four B.C. men honored this
week by the B.C. Youth Soccer
Association at meetings in Van-
couver,

Mike Brady was recipient of a
special plaque which was
presented to him in recognition

To Games

Terrace senior Babe Ruth
division Stars won the zone
seven baseball berth for the B.C.
Summer Games on the June 11
weekend, but Houston gave
then a tough battle before it was
over.

It looked like the best-of-three
series at Kerr-Rotary Park
would be over in two games
when Terrace ripped Houston
15-1,

But Houston came back in
game two to post a 5-1 victory.

In the third and deciding
game, Terrace scored the winn-
ing’ run late in the contest to
count a 2-1 victory and a trip to
Victoria next month.

Our Zone 10 team of seniors athletes were happy as they climbed on
