  • Vocabulary (Sports) Federer Storms to French Open Win
    OGU 2 (June 9, 2009) Ajarn Major Dr.Ra-shane Meesri ([email protected]) Faculty of Education, Chulalongkorn University Vocabulary (Sports) Federer storms to French Open win Roger Federer gloriously completed a career Grand Slam on Sunday by capturing a first French Open title, and a record‐equalling 14th major, with a 6‐ 1, 7‐6 (7/1), 6‐4 win over Robin Soderling. Roger Federer in action against Sweden's Robin Soderling during their French Open final at Roland Garros Stadium in Paris. The 27‐year‐old world number two finally won a Roland Garros crown at the 11th attempt and in his fourth successive final having come up heartbreakingly short in the last three showdowns against Spanish nemesis Rafael Nadal. His victory, ironically over the Swedish 23rd seed who shocked four‐time Nadal in the last 16, took him level with great friend Pete Sampras as the holder of 14 Grand Slam titles. He also moved into a select group made up only of Fred Perry, Don Budge, Rod Laver, Roy Emerson and Andre Agassi as men who have won all four of the Grand Slam events. "It was probably my greatest victory, I was under big pressure. I did it and it's phenomenal," said Federer who broke down in tears after being presented with the trophy by Agassi, the 1999 champion, and while the Swiss national anthem was played. OGU 2 (June 9, 2009) Ajarn Major Dr.Ra-shane Meesri ([email protected]) Faculty of Education, Chulalongkorn University "It was great to be on the podium as a winner for a change.

  • The Following Transcript of Red Hamill's Interview on Memories And
    The following transcript of Red Hamill’s interview on Memories and Music (broadcast September 5, 1982) was created by Videoplus Transcription Services in 2013. Page 1 00:00:00 Track starts. SCOTT TURNBULL: Good afternoon and welcome to Memories and Music on CIGM FM 92.7 Sudbury. I’m your musical host, Scott Turnbull and joining us now with an introduction to today’s guest, here’s Gary Peck. GARY PECK: Today our guest will be Red Hamill. Red Hamill played professional hockey from approximately the 1937/38 season until the 1950/51 season playing for initially the Boston Bruins, latterly the Chicago Blackhawks. And also, Red Hamill has been involved in local sports. And today our guest is Robert Hamill, better known as Red Hamill. And welcome to the program, Mr. Hamill. RED HAMILL: Thank you. GARY PECK: Red, you were involved in professional hockey for a number of years and that’s really what we’re going to focus on today in the program. But before we actually concentrate on that aspect of your life, would you share with us some biographical information beginning where you were born, when, what general area, and follow through from there? RED HAMILL: Well, Gary, I was born in Toronto, 1917 and I spent my first 15 years there in Toronto with the family and then I moved north to get a job. That was during the depression years, 34/35 and I went up to South Porcupine. I got the job up there in the mine because I had a little talent as a hockey player.

  • Rifle Submission.Pdf
    John K. Samson PO Box 83‐971 Corydon Avenue Winnipeg, Manitoba R3M 3S3 February 23, 2013 Mr. Bill Hay, Chairman of the Board, and Members of the Selection Committee The Hockey Hall of Fame 30 Yonge Street Toronto, Ontario M5V 1X8 Dear Mr. Bill Hay, Chairman of the Board, and Members of the Selection Committee, Hockey Hall of Fame; In accordance with the Hockey Hall of Fame’s Policy Regarding Public Submission of Candidates Eligible for Election into Honoured Membership, please accept this bona‐fide submission putting forth the name Reggie Joseph Leach for your consideration. A member of the Berens River First Nation, Reggie Joseph Leach was born in 1950 in Riverton, Manitoba. While facing the injustices of racism and poverty, and playing on borrowed skates for much of his childhood, Leach’s terrific speed and honed shooting skills earned him the nickname “The Riverton Rifle.” He went on to become one of the most gifted and exciting hockey players of his generation. His pro‐hockey accomplishments are truly impressive: two‐time NHL All Star, Conn Smythe Trophy winner (the only non‐goalie from a losing team to ever win it), 1975 Stanley Cup winner, 1976 Canada Cup winner, and Regular Season Goal Scoring Leader, to name a few. His minor league record is remarkable, too. As a legendary member of the MJHL/WCJHL Flin Flon Bombers, Mr. Leach led the league in goal‐scoring twice, and was placed on the First All‐ Star team every season he played. The statistical analysis in the pages that follow, prepared by Phil Russell of Dozen Able Men Data Design (Ottawa, Ontario), makes a clear and persuasive case that Mr.

What are my plans for improving the program? ............................................................... 12 1 1. Introduction - What is the grand slam tennis program? The Grand Slam Tennis Program allows you to see how recent grand slam tennis champions would fair against champions from the past. You can choose from more than 90 former men's grand slam champions and more than 80 former Women's Champions. In addition, you can choose to play the tennis match at the Australian Open, U.S. Open, Wimbledon, or French Open. International tennis matches can also be played, with the option of choosing from many countries around the world. The program is perfect for simulating individual match ups or holding an entire tournament. This is not video graphic game. It is a statistical game based on each former tennis player’s historical success in playing major grand slam singles events. While some players have a higher probability of success, their performance in any particular tournament is still subject to the laws of random probability. For example, a player who has had major success in the French Open is likely to do well in the French Open, but could still lose to a player who has had less historical success in the French Open.
