shape slowly liston Hornets and Jets up from ranks are more than holding their own and Motors and Whitby are just about ready to jolt over any of the leaders any day By vote of the clubs George town who had no grouping will play a single schedule in the three S group and the points against the Raiders who are touted as sleepers for the cham pionship will be very valuable to all of the clubs With a new playoff schedule arranged and no roundrobin difficulties as the first third of the schedule is just about over every game really counts as position gives preference and gate appeal to the leaders Those ancient rivals the Bears and Rings will be up and at it in tonight The Au rora lads having dropped three close ones with only last weeks counting in the standing to the boys arc keen to hit the win column right in New market Last Fridays game was but there was little to choose between the two after a couple of quickies by the blue and white Evenness of play has characterized every game in the league and the Gorman vs Alcorn games are typical ex amples of it Professor Mundell dropped over a big husky lad called Ken MeKenle last week from south of Richmond Hill and he looks as if he can do the Bears a lot of Niagara peninsula back in and such centres as Gait Kitchener Preston Belleville and Trenton returning to this series since they are play ing senior B will be permitted to

around the net in the final period to score three goals and that whopping shooting ef fort earned the Alcornites a 65 win over Bowmanville at Dec The win gave the Bears a three win two loss record in Suburban Super Seven junior hockey league play The Bears Kid Line of Danny Keith Browning and Ron was the Bears best fired two goals Browning one artist Gary Bonhain turned in a free- hockey and this

payoff win- status for their first year entry Riverside where Jack Robinson and Tommy Bro- arc located will have an in termediate A club in a league with Leamington and Rumor still persists that Robinson has been asked to return to these parts but I know nothing about it It wouldnt materialize this year in any case Hoover is the new boss- man at arena this year and there has been much favor able comment on the manner in which he is handling his new chore We note that Norman Mathews former Newmar ket resident and a leading coun sel on labor matters acts for Maple Leaf Gardens in their fight before the Ontario Labor Mort Richards triggered two goals to lead Ted Larry Payne and Lawrence cut loose for the other goals Bradford Intermediates Win For Fourth Time good lis rumored loo that Larry Relations Board over the recog- is getting itchy feel to play of the players negotiating hockey and may reconsider his committee The question earlier decision of retirement Last year Hill was about the most versatile performer in the group No need to tell the home fans that against the hottest club in junior A the Smokies put up a pretty good show and the experience served them well as coach Legge a few of the Flyers defensive plays lo effect in Aurora On Friday Aurora will play hosts to Hornets and Whitby will open at George town Paul lost an ex hibition game to Aurora in pre season play by one goal and last whether a union an or not this is properly or if each player isnt individual contractor The proposition for the latter argu ment seems to come from US Labor The question of whether or not salary negotiations enter into the matter is an argument that seems yet to be determined especially since the Leaf players issued a statement that this wasnt so The club wants to include the whole roster of signed players as being the ones decide if they waul certification or other wise The players lawyers argue weekend the Hornets gave Cliff j that only the 18 on the Leafs Johnstons club the present roster should count At scare of their lives They drop ped a decision at home as a penalty cost them two goals in the dying moments At Port Perry they were lied until the last period when again experience counted in the clutch and won On Mofiday Aurora wilt back to and on Boxing day Georgetown will to Alliston a big Christmas pres ent for the loyal home town fans December Jottings Congratu lations to Clair Morrison the hockey legal light who was elect ed at the head of the in the township council race Vampires folded up on Friday as boss An dy ran into a mm with the Union hockey club at his plant and couldnt get the play ers he had on Andy did uncover a fine young goalie in Bob who will he heard from later Oro Combines have decided to try hockey again and they will lake up the land games to round out the local intermediate group which is producing some fine play Its too bad that group convener Tim should have to re draft the schedule and run into unexpected problems hut the genial mortician will solve the problems pronto Harry Lee had added a real Aurora look the Clippers as Grant Ed wards Phil Nicholas Sparky Vail Ted Vanderpol and Howie Bullock of the champs are now in sweaters Top scorer for so far has been Elmo Gibson who played with Brooklin last year Bud Lehman Hal Hodgson Bruce McDowell Forfar hockey today Tip Vipond Howie Bob Mclntyre and Bud Wilkins give tin- team a potent crowd of puckchasors Joe Lewis and Jake appear to have receded to the fireside but like George Stark may re consider Tarry Sound Shamrocks cur- the moment it does not appear possible for both sides to come together but regardless of it all and what you may think about the Smythe hockey empire you dont find the players kicking or bad feeling w i g between the bosses and the socalled slaves Actually the Leafs are playing their best hockey in several years right now You cant kid anyone thai a club plays good hockey if the players arent hap py al their work and under their playing conditions If the US attorney and US labor ways had been left out from the start it is more than likely all argu ments could have been settled amicably including an amend ment to the obnoxious clause that gives President Clarence Campbell who is hired by the club owners the right to decide finally where there is a dispute between the players and the club over salaries Incidentally I got quite a kick out of the- rumpus raised by Toronto Township over the fact that Chicago has some play ers attending school while play ing for Dixie Youd think this was something new hut its been going mi for years and suffered- No pro club can force any hoy to go anywhere if his parents dont approve or if the boy doesnt want to go Make no mistake about that We venture to say that the grades of boys al school away from home on a hockey scholar ship are higher or as high as if they had stayed at home The marks at Dixie we could name Bradford Brads- Fords look like the intermediate equiva lent of the New York Rangers The are a great pass ing team In the line of Don Gibson Ortie Thorns and Ron Dowdall they boast probably the highest scoring unit In hockey This line got cracking in the final period Saturday night Bradford for two goaN to give Brads Fords a win over Becton The victory ran the Bradford win streak to four games While Spider Gibson didnt appear as an actual scorer his passes were made to order It was Gibsons pass thai sent Thorns in to score early in the third period That goal broke a I all deadlock Bruce Nairn two minutes later gave Bradford a A- advantage It was a well executed end to end dash It was Gibson after taking Or- tie Thorns pass who gave play- 1 ing coach Ron Dowdall a chance lo park the puck in the cage at That tally gave Bradford a margin This lively youngster who constantly laughs at life and is not a whit concerned by the fate that caused him to spend the early years of his life in a TB San is one of the many
