SPORTS COMMENT By DON SCHAFFER ‘The Harlem Clowns gave almost everyone in the audience in Terrace Tuesday evening something to enjoy. Fer the basketball fans, the team showed how well they could shoot from outside, dunk the ball, pass and dribble. For those in the crowd who weren’t purists, the Clowns clowned around. They gave the members of the opposition, teachers from Caledonia Senior Secondary School, Skeena, Thornhill and some graduates a good-natured razzing. Tom Watkinson of Skeena took it on the nose from ° the start, when Ray “Showboat” Clay said “Everybody got a man? Good, then I'll take what’s left.” Clay, who wasn’t much taller than Watkinson, was the star of the show, talking to the crowd and the other players almost constantly. Michael Douglas and Herb Scaife contributed their share of mugging and joking to the show, as well as displaying their con- siderable skill with the basketball. The Clowns got the crowd involved, putting a wig on a balding gentleman, displaying the contents of a woman's purse to the audience (faked, of course), and havinga youngstercomeouttotakeashot. |= - One young fellow, who sat right behind me, cried when Clay tried to get him to come onto the floor. The rest of the participants, though, had a good time and took the jokes and the insults in the right spirit. Bob Clarkson and Eric Metzmeier handled the game well, although they looked perplexed at times when the Clowns began to make up the rules as they went along. The gym's ceiling was a bit low for some of the trick shots that the Clowns tried to make, but other than that the show was entertaining and a good value for the $3.50 admission, The Timbermen play their first regular-season home game tonight, against the Kitimat Winterhawks. It should be a good game, judging from the past performances of the two teams. Both clubs like to skate, neither is scared to hit, and the game should provide three hours of good hockey. If the Harlem Clowns can draw a packed house, the Timbermen should be able to get more than 300 people into the arena. Come out and see the team at least. You might be surprised. Terrace reps to travel east Two Terrace minor hockey rep teams will find out how competitive they really are when they head for Prince George this weekend for exhibition games. The Twin River Timber Peewees and All Seasons Midgets will play two games each against the Prince George Spruce King peewees and midgets.
