He purposely slept in Tuesday morning and when he arrived at the Ottawa Athletic Club he was strictly a spectator. He refused to be a practice partner for a few of his peers. He was thinking of seeing a movie and visiting a mall to bring a balance to his life.

The tennis rackets would rest for a day or two. After playing 22 matches over 14 days in three cities and following a dizzying travel schedule, Gyetko earned a break when he was ousted Monday night from the qualifying tournament for the Ottawa stop of the Canadian Airlines satellite tennis circuit. Gyetko's tour of Ontario began in Toronto two weeks ago with the Ontario Open. He played nine matches to win the singles and doubles. But on the weekend of the finals, Gyetko split his time between playing in Toronto and qualifying for the opening satellite tournament in London, Ont.

He won five qualifying matches and four in the main draw to reach the London final. Although he lost the final to Sandon Stolle of Miami, in straight sets, it was the high point in his young career. Despite his success in London, Gyetko, a former Canadian junior champion, was unable to get one of two special exemptions into the main draw of the Ottawa tournament. There were three eligible players and his Association of Tennis Professionals ranking of 1053rd made him the odd man Former Journal sports editor dead at 82 I -7 -Off fT.T--3 V-fi At ttnmfltir Based on 48 month term Lease to own The 187-player qualifying tournament to fill the final eight spots in the main draw ended Tuesday with two other Canadians Yann Lefebvre of Drummondville, and Stephane Bonneau of Quebec City, Que. surviving the four-day trial.

In first-round action, Daniel Nestor of Toronto found his lost serve and upset third-seeded Mau-ricio Hadad of Colombia 6-0, 2-6, 6-1. Marc-Andre' Tardif, 15, of Sil-lery, threatened to add more Canadian content to the second round, but he lost to Spain's Gon-zalo 6-7, 6-0, 6-2.

So, he caught a plane immediately after the final and flew to Ottawa.

He won qualifying matches Sunday night and Monday morning, but bowed out Monday night. "Yesterday (Monday), I felt sore and mentally drained," said Gyetko. "Even though it was tough, I kept trying to push. Even though I didn't feel good, I was hoping things would turn around. "It gets that way sometimes on the circuit.

The last two weeks have felt like college, meeting all the deadlines." Gyetko had a heavy workload in his third year at Arizona State, studying aerospace engineering and playing No. 1 on the tennis team. per month plus tax from 1200 BASELINE RD. at Menvaie 225-1 260 MMmUl ET ENVIRONS 6200, bull.

Westwick, sports editor of the Ottawa Journal from 1942 until his retirement in 1973, was admitted to hospital 10 days ago and died late Tuesday afternoon. Westwick is a member of the Ottawa and CFL hall of fames.

He was also the first-ever recipient of a Governor General's award. His father, Harry, who was a member of the famed Silver Seven, is also a member of the Ottawa Hall of Fame. As a journalist there wasn't a major sporting event Westwick didn't cover in his lengthy and distinguished career. The Richard Riot in Montreal. Bill Mazeroski's World Series-winning home run in 1960.

The night Cassius Clay won the world heavyweight championship. Don Lars-en's perfect game. Westwick covered them all for the Ottawa and Valley sports fan. And he also had great passion for the local sports scene. A former standout football player at Lisgar Collegiate, Westwick was also an accomplished amateur boxer (collegiate champion) and hockey and lacrosse player before turning to journalism.

"When he went down to Preston Street, people all came away saying 'What a great said former Citizen sports editor Eddie MacCabe, who started his own illustrious career under Westwick at the Journal. "When he had occasion to go to Parliament Hill or speak at the Canadian Club, people said 'What a wonderful "That pretty much runs the whole gamut and I can say and I travelled in his footsteps for the better part of 40 years I never heard a person say a bad word about Bill. Never. "He was well recognized by the American writers he travelled with and he built a tremendous level of trust in the people who worked with him and the people he covered." Westwick started his career in journalism at the Journal in 1926 under the late Baz O'Meara. He also served a stint as city editor for the paper.

He took over the position of sports editor in 1942 when O'Meara left for the Montreal Star and, following his retirement, was honored at a dinner at the Chateau Laurier in 1973 and awarded the keys to the city. Westwick is survived by wife Rita, daughters Patricia, Marilyn and Joan and sons Bill Jr. and Vince. Funeral arrangements have not been finalized but are being arranged by Kelly Funeral Homes on Carling Avenue.
