Heber Sweeney's “Licking Time” is continuing his winning streak at Rockingham Park,
m, New Hampshire. On the "night of November 19th, he won the seventh race on the program, the “B’ Pace for a purse of $1,000, in 2.10 1-5. It was the sec- ond fastest mile of the’ night. The “C’”’ Pace, which was staged for slower horses, with a purse of $900, was won by an outsid- er, Ikey, that went away in sev- enth place to win in 2.09 2-5 und- er slow~conditions.
Licking Time was purchased by Mr. Sweeney .early this year in Ohio. He is by Good Time 1.57 4-5 - one of the world’s great- est pacers. Last ~year Licking Time took a record of 2.07 3-5 as a three-year-old. :
RECORD FOR JOE
Racing at Hollywood Park, In- glewood, California, came to an end last week and we are pleas- ed and proud to announce that Joe O’Brien set up a new re- cord by winning 25 firsts in 75 starts at the track. In the last afternoon's racing, Joe won four of his six races to place first as the champion driver of the Wes- _ tern Harness Association meeting.
It is the fourth time that O’- Brien has won this particular championship, a record that has never been approached by any other driver. His last win was with Raider Frost, and as usual he came from behind and won by half a length.

of the total-points Big Four final here Saturday.
The Hamilton coach said he plans to stress a tight defence against Winnipeg running plays. The club will work out at Civic Stadium here each afternoon and leave late Friday for a secluded country spot to rest a night be- fore heading into Toronto.
SHARP DEFENCE
Trimble ‘hopes to have his line defence as sharp as it was against Ottawa when Rider star Dave Thelen, who set a record in winning the Big Four rushing title this season, was stopped cold. Thelen made only 49 yards in 11 catfries.
He was asked if Hamilton was worried about the single - wing offensive formation sometimes used by Bombers.
“If he (coach Bud Grant) uses it, we'll be ready for it,”” Trimble said. “‘We’lt also try to beset for anything else he may use.” .
Jake Gaudaur, -president of the Hamilton ‘club, had some com- plaints Tuesday about the ruling that will keep two of Ticats’ sec- ond-string men out of the na- tional final. Dale Klassen and Mal Laughton, promoted from the intermediate team in late season, are ineligible because of

RIDICULOUS SITUATION
‘Surely the people who make the rules will see the ridiculous- ness of a situation which lets a player play steadily in regular league games and playoffs, then suddenly bars him from the Grey Cup,” said Gaudaur.
Klassen was brought up to re- place the injured Bronko Nagur- ski and Laughton, a quarterback on the intermediate club, has seen action’ as a defensive back.
Nagurski «is still a question mark for Saturday. He has been working out with the team re- cently despite a severe knee in- jury and might get into the lineup.
Neither Trimble nor Gaudaur appear concerned about reports that betting has Winnipeg favored to repeat last year’s win over Hamilton: et “They should be favored from what I hear,’’ said Trimble. “They have a _ great football team.”
But, he added, “those bookies have been wrong before.” 4 Trimble was probably referr- ing to last year when Ticats, favored over Winnipeg, lost the

MONCTON (CP)—Fun - loying Yvon Durelle, who fought his way from the backyard of: his home in the small fishing village of Baie Ste. Anne, N.B., to within a whisker of the world light = weight championship, made his boxing retirement official Tues- day. : The colorful Durelle, ‘who feared no one,” put the final stamp of approval on his ring plans here following a brief con- ference with manager Chris Sha- ban.
“Yvon’s dead serious about quitting and he’s given me per- mission to notify the boxing au- thorities of his decision,’’ said Shaban.
The decision will put Durelle’s Canadian and British Empire

Shaban, a 51-year-old promoter, fight-manager and grocery store owner here, said he is notifying Canadian Boxing Federation com- missioner Gene Letourneau of
a group of newspapermen and friends. “I'm getting in shape to play for the (Moncton) Hawks,” he said.
Durelle played one. game with
Brunswick North Shores Senior Hockey League club last season. He was more of an at- traction than a player. But he was the answer to the financial doldrums resulting from small crowds. Normally 800 customers had turned out, but with Durelle in the lineup, 2,160 were on hand. Durelle’s greatest moment of glory came Dec. 10, 1958, when he stepped into a Montreal ring for a try at the world lightheavy crown.

FOUGHT 140 TIMES
Durelle has had 140 profes- sional fights, 105 of which are in the record books. He won 380, ‘lost 24 and fought one draw. He scored 43 knockouts or TKOs and was knocked out four times. Durelle won the vacant Cana- dian light heavyweight title with a 12round—decision over Gordie Wallace of Brantford, Ont., in 1953. He lost to Doug Harper of Calgary two months later but re- gained it in July, 1954. He de-
fended successfully four times.

He didn’t get Moore next time
Durelle didn’t have to sign.
The text of the letter reads: “As manager of Yvon Durelle, British Empire and Canadian light heavyweight champion, Yvon and I have both decided that he is retiring from boxing.” Letourneau said Monday that to make Durelle’s retirement of- ficial the federation would have to be notified in writing. Shaban said Letourneau will notify British boxing officials of Durelle’s decision. This would presumably enable them to de- clare the Empire throne vacant. Dutelle, a 30-year-old fighter- fisherman with 14 years of ring warfare behind him,~announced he would quit boxing after an unsuccessful shot at the Cana- dian heavyweight title last week in Toronto. He was belted out in the 12th round by Toronto's George Chuvalo.
Now that Durelle has stepped down, the CB will probably de- clare the Canadian title open. A match between Burke Emery .of Sherbrooke, Que., and Al Hogan of Toronto is probable. Letourneau said the same pro- cedure probably will be followed by the British Boxing Board of Control regarding the British Empire crown. Mike Holt of Jo- hannesburg, South Africa, is the leading contender.
