for those Aurora Bears followed by Red Buttons theme song Strange Things Are Happening which right now sums up the Big Nine junior standing As we write this the Bears axe either in first or second place in the group and the other newcomer to hockey from the district is up there too In quick succession the Bears have downed Flash ers Dixie Rockets and St Mikes Buzzers The latter win was a brilliant one as the ma roon and white Bruins took a verdict over Father Collegians who like Weston are Maple Leaf chattels The St Mikes club is assembled from all parts of Ontario Highlight of the splurge of Bears has been the fine work of goalie Lee in the nets Ed Walkers prolific scoring Ron defensive sorties and the fine work of the Brad ford line of and The rest of the boys have all had their moments and in each game somebody different breaks out Pleasing indeed has been the work of rookie Grant Morton up from midget ranks and holding his own with the best in the league The club needs several more players yet and the hunt con tinues but Messrs and Clarke can take a bow for a scouting chore well done More than reinforcements however the team needs crowd support The turnout of the fans has been disappointing and its discour aging to those who are sponsor ing the team without a dime from any sources or pro spon sorship Next home game un fortunately is not until Friday Nov 20

some of the team notably fenceman Bob Cherry Harvey Wallace the pride of Bolton and made a ten strike in securing Roger Neilson a goalie from Weston has been nothing less than sen sational Newmarket Spits went to the subcommittee of the on Friday night with a strong dele gation headed by Herbie Cain Messrs Cameron Thompson Smith and tried their best for inclusion in the Metro sen B group with full Metro players rights The subexecu tive wouldnt go for the exten sion of the area this season and as we pointed out a week or so ago that will have to be amended at the next annual meeting Aurora Bears were granted the right it was said because they had no prospective C grouping except that of last year and in view of everything the OHA wanted to avoid that but still keep Aurora in hockey They wanted to keep Canal- town in hockey too but as fast as one hurdle was over there was another to meet Chief fear was the reaction of teams like Georgetown and all fringe area clubs if the Spits were allowed to crash Metro hockey as a full member As it stands now the Spits will have a bye into the inter mediate or senior playdowns and will he granted permission to take the place of Motors in the senior group when the later club leaves for the world tournament at Stockholm Sweden There are no Olympic games this year Stan Smith and Herbie Cain are arranging a gruelling schedule for the Spits however which will provide keen hockey for the fans the best that Newmar ket has seen for quite a few years and we think the player angle will be well adjusted for the club by the time they are ready for the The club will definitely carry on and you can watch for new faces new attractions and plenty of good hockey the popular StouffvUle Clipper forward who wBi badly combed over by one of the KiY
