winter although to your reporter the plans are still a little vatif- e understand that a number of residents have agreed to offer financial assistance with such a sports programme a practice session has been arranged for oct 13th it is not my wish to throw cold water on the scheme but i do feel that at the present time there is not sufficient interest among our hockey loving public to support two oiia hockey teams here it is a known fact that stouffville will ice a junior c club and the organization machinery has already been put into motion the majority of players who will comprise this entry will be recruits from last seasons juvenile club that marched through to the ontario semifinal this team attracted plenty of interest in their climb tin the playoff ladder and on a number of occasions outdrew the intermediates at the box office i feel that by icing both a junior and an intermediate entry the attend ance will he spilt and both clubs will fiud themselves in a financial jam austahs in

disheartening 164 los absorbed in the series opener was forgotten in a doordie effort they swept through to their first championship in more titan a decade the players will be the first to admit that old lady luck was a tenth member of the club in many games both during the schedule and in the playoffs in spite of this the old slogan you have to he good to be lucky still is very true the players were rnthusiastic competitors from the opening game back in may never in a single contest was the club shorthanded from a- cellardweller in 1955 to a league championship in 1957 that is the accomplishment of the peachs softball club much of the credit for the teams success must go to the untiring efforts of their coach jack warriner he is the lone survivor of the peachs club that made its initial entry into the markham township loop back in the mid mos since that time players have come and gone but he has still kept his eyes on a championship goal although not an active participant
