ASBURY PARK SUNDAY PRESS, 10, 1971 Df SPORTS CAR NEWS Judge Helping Brann Run W-B Trial Next Saturday lit was even getting flaky on the straights. The Lola had appeared at Edmonton with rather drastic body modifications. The unusual blunt nose had been replaced by a some-what more conventional scooped nose and the airfoil had been moved far to the rear, even beyond the engine. Apparently it worked, since Stewart had no trouble holding off the Denis Hulme McLaren until the suspension let go. l.V:.r jfL f.Mlrf tea I 1 A 4 7 2C Tom Mangum, Toms River, fates his air mattress during ng trip on the Wading River 4 NFL Divisions Settling Down there is a 100-car limit.

Wing and Bonnet, incidentally, has a Halloween rally in the works for Oct. 30. Neshaminy, is fast becoming a center of sports car activity, the latest event to originate there is a National Corvette Council rally by the Aquarian Corvette Association of Bristol, Pa. This will be a "TSD fun approximately 90 miles long over all types of roads. It's open to all types of cars, entry fee is $4.

The finish will be in Tre-vose, where dinner facilities will be available. For further information write rally-master Ron Rysztogi, 1176 Whittier Andalusia, Pa. 19020. The date is Nov. 7.

The Jersey Corvette Club will run the "Sunluck" rally, a "straight forward fun type rally" on Nov 21. The club has been specializing in this type of event all year long and doing very 'well. All you need to run is a car with a working odometer, a navigator, and the $4 entry fee. The event will start from Lexington Chevrolet, 799 Route 46, eastbound, Clifton. Registration opens at 11 a.m.

and the first car goes off at noon. The releases from Jackie Stewart's sponsor indicate that Stewart's problem in the Edmonton, Can-Am race stemmed from a rear shock mount that came adrift and caused the world champion driver to spin out twice in the rain. According to Jackie, normally an excellent wet track driver, the car became almost impossible to control in the bends and There is something of a traffic jam at the landing site as CAMPING Scouts prepare to set up overnight camp.

From this point to the end of the trip, the river was more open, and we were much more subject to the east wind which picked up during the morning.

By noontime, we had reached the end of the cruise, just above the tidal part of the river. ALL TOLD, there were 65 canoes in our party, carrying nine units of Ocean County's Southern Cross District. The trip was led by Teje Brenner, camp chief, and Tom Mangum, chairman of the district camping and activities committee. With its chutes, hairpin turns, and sunken obstructions, the Wading River offers a challenging but pleasant overnight canoe trip for boys' and girls' groups, as well as the many family campers who take the cruise and enjoy camping in real wilderness conditions. Last weekend, the leaves along the banks were just starting to turn color the next couple of weeks will be ideal for camping trips on this wonderful and wild South Jersey stream.

The Colts have given up only 17 points, fewest in the league, while the Bills have allowed 97, second only to Philadelphia.

And Norm Bulaich is due to rejoin the Baltimore running corps. Daryle Lamonica has hit his stride for the Raiders, but they're still most potent in the AFC on the ground. The Broncos are second best in the conference on defense. It'll be the irresistible force against the immovable object in Detroit as the Packers, with the best rushing game in the NFC, slam into the Lions' top NFC ground defense. The 49ers open their new home, Candlestick Park, against the arch-rival Rams, who beat them 23-20 in preseason play.

The teams are tied for second in the NFC in rushing. Ken Anderson will probably start for the Bengals in place of stellar quarterback Virgil Carter, who suffered a shoulder separation against Green Bay. Miami has the AFC's No. 2 pass receiver in Paul Warfield but Cincinnati's Eric Crabtree is a close No. 3.

The Vikings are No. 1 in NFC defense and the Eagles are last. But Philadelphia has virtually no attack either while Minnesota has the sec ond-best receiver in Bob Grim. The Bears are jexpected to welcome running back Gale Sayers to the starting lineup, along with Kent Nix, taking over for Jack Concannon, who will be out for a while with a knee injury. Archie Manning of the Saints will be aiming his passes at the top NFC receiver, Dan Abramowicz.

The Patriots and Jets have the two poorest attacks respectively in the AFC. The Steelers and Browns will be battling for supremacy of the AFC's Central Division. Pittsburgh will be going for its first victory in Cleveland since 1964 and will have to contend with the conference's leading scorer in Leroy Kelly. Bob Berry of the Falcons has thrown for 300-plus yards in his last two games but his team still ended up with a tie and a loss. Cardinals' quarterback Pete Beathard will again be looking for rookie wide receiver Mel Gray, who caught scoring bombs of 60 and 64 yards last Sunday.

It's the second meeting of the year for the Chargers and Chiefs. Kansas City led the first game by two touchdown before losing 21-14. San Diego is tops in FAC offense, with Billy Parks the leading receiver. BUSSES By JOIIN RANSOM There's an interesting line on the flyer for next Saturday's Wing and Bonnet Club's Jersey Council Championship field trial. Down at the bottom it says "Trlalmastcrs Harry Brann and Vic Judge." Looks like after 20 years of single-handed operation Harry has taken on a junior partner.

Vic is a very capable guy who has been around motorsport activities for a number of years now as a member of Wing and Bonnet, and has worked just about every trial the club has run for the past five or six years. The event will be held at the Ft. Dix Speedway, Route 539, New Egypt. Registration and technical and safety inspections will open at 8 a.m. and the first car will go off at 9.

Jersey Council classes will be in effect, that means A through AA, and and the first class off will be Class For those of you who are unfamiliar with the system, the Council has set up a rotation of opening classes to eliminate the problem of the Class A guys having to get to the course early every week as they once had to do. Now a different class starts each championship event. As usual, each class will be divided into production and modified production with trophies in each division. Class AA will include the "super modified" cars such as specials, formula cars, sports racing, dune buggies, etc. Minimum driver age is 18 years, a valid drivers licanse, helmet, and metal to metal seat belt is required.

Entry fee is $7 ($4 for Class X), and i Ii li i ii mi 1 1 "Mil' wb-" ill I RAIN CHECK Wm fro UNIRDYAL llu I IKSdo ml a During cruise, we saw absolutely no sign of civilization, except at the Hawkin Bridge site and little there. Yet in spite of the primitive condition of the river, it was never necessary to get out of the canoe to drag it over blowdowns a pleasure for which we have the organized canoe clubs to thank. Though there are two developed campsites along the stream, the practice of most canoeists is to simply pick out a decent landing, and setup camp on a patch of high ground bordering the river. By about 9:30 Sunday morning, we had broken camp, restored the site to its original condition, and were back in the canoes. AS MANY FEEDER streams entered from the sides, the river became much wider for this second part of the trip though the many sand and gravel bars kept it so shallow that it was often difficult to get a real bite on the water with the paddle.

Civilization made its presence known during this part of the trip, as we passed a large cranberry bog, the state campground at Godfrey's Bridge, and the bridge on the 1 All NEW 1972 canoes in the water at about 10 a.m. Saturday's journey proved to be full of surprises. As soon as we got on the stream, we found ourselves cruising through little chutes, formed by logs beneath the surface of the water. Though the river was narrow during this first half of the cruise, the stream was fast moving, and there was always plenty of water to float the little fiberglass craft. At many points along the stream, pilings still remained in the water where bridges formerly connected the many sand roads that cut through these pine and cedar forests.

Where these pilings were just beneath the surface, it sometimes took a sharp-eyed bow man to spot them. More than one canoe learned about these obstructions the hard way when the pilings were struck, and kids and gear alike went into the drink. AT ABOUT 1 P.M., we stopped for a fast trail lunch near Hawkin Bridge, a state campsite accessible overland, via the sand roads. By 2 o'clock, we had picked out a wilderness site for our overnight camp.

The most notable exception, of course, is the National Conference East, where Washington's amazing Redskins, the only team still without a setback, leads the surprising New York Giants and the equally surprised Dallas Cowboys. The usual four way rumble is underway in the Central Division while San Francisco has taken a slim lead over the rest of the West. In the American Conference, Oakland and Kansas City have entered their annual two-way struggle for leadership of the West, Cleveland and Pittsburgh lead the Central and Baltimore has a slight edge over Miami in the East. And it appears unlikely there will be any major changes as a result of this weekend's action. The 'Skins will try to cement their hold on the NFC East as they go for victory No.

17, and perhaps It will be a continuation of the battle. If nothing breaks, that is. On the safety scene. It appears that we are going to have to put up with some form of mandatory, built in, passive restraints in our cars before long. In a recent address to the American Society of Body Engineers, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Chief Douglas W.

Thorns said, "There is no question that the government has decided passive restraints are needed." According to "Automotive News," that means air bags. The decision has apparently been based on the refusal of the American driving public to use seat belts and the fact that NHTSA tests have shown the bags to provide protection at twice the impact of any belt system. GOOD DEALS are Brewing For You at DODGE CITY ISI Itaatr it Taau lim "3 AsburyParM.J. T-- By JOAN and BILL MEYER AT ABOUT 7:30 last Saturday morning, the weekend seemed like a good one to stay in a dry house and repair equipment. But instead, this writer and his son found themselves driving through a pouring rain to join 156 other Boy Scouts and leaders to take part in what turned out to be a really great camping trip.

Plans had been made many weeks in advance, and most of the scouts had arranged to rent canoes so little short of a full-fledged Hurricane Ginger could call a halt to our overnight canoe trip down the Wading River, through Wharton State Forest. By a stroke of good fortune, the rain stopped just as we arrived at the starting point a narrow bridge over the creek on Rt. 563, at Speedwell, about two miles south of Chatsworth. WE DROPPED off the canoes and camping gear, and drove most of the cars to where the trip would end, Beaver Branch campsite, off Rt. 563, near the deserted village of Harrisville.
