AcFIELO, ;GOUNGILLOR fOR NORTH 1N 8. F. A. Interesting Letter from Northern Ontario Representative at Annual Meeting of Ontario Football Association. Mri W. A. Field represented the Northern Ontario Football Associaâ€" tion at the recent anuna‘! meeting of the Ontario Football Associationâ€" the first time that Northermn Ontario has been so repnesented. In response to a request for parnticulars regardâ€" ing the meeting, Mr. Field has kindâ€" ly furnished The Advance with the following informative and interestâ€" ing letter :â€" Timmins, Ont, Feb. 7th. Annual meeting of the O.F.A. held at the Royal Connaught Hotel, Hamâ€" ilton, Saturday, Jan. 3lst. All the District â€" Associations _ wene repreâ€" sented but two,â€"Oshawa and Otâ€" tawa. Including the visiting D.F.A. Oflicers, there were about 30 officers and delegates present. _ Billy Dean of Hamilton, was elected President. Bobby Muin again elected See.â€"Treas. Mr. A. Dorling, of the Sudbury Disâ€" trict wasâ€" elected _ Vice<President. These three gentlemen, together with the fo‘lowing will constitute the O.F. A. Council fon the year 1925 :â€" T. Holland, Toronto; A. Mills, Hamilâ€" ton; H. Brown, Weston; JR. Bowie, St. Catharines; W. A. Field, Norâ€" thern Ont.; J. Indoe, London; G. W. Grenville, Brantford; Phil _ Evans, Guelph; F. Suteliffe, Petenboro; T Elliott, Guelph and Wimn. Donalldson are O.F.A. delegates to the D.F.A. for the ensuing yvear. This is the first time in the history of the N.O.F.A. that we have been represented at the ~O.F.A., which seems to be keeping in line with the steady but firm advance of Associaâ€" tion Foo#bball in this district, and afâ€" ter last season‘s achievements of the Timmins (Club as representatives of the North, still greater things are looked for in the future from the THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO $4,234,000 $871,6306,000 $137,466,000 $274,130,000 Northern Ontario Football Associaâ€" tion. The N.O.F.A. was organised in 1919 by the following gentlement :â€"E,. H. Bridgers, of Timmins, not of Toronto;y B. Northey, of Schumacher, now in the West; the late Bill Black, of South Poreupine and myse‘t. Considerable discussion took place re the agreement which was supposed to ‘have been in force in order to bring peace between the D.F.A. and the C.F.A., but which was ultimately disapproved of as a whole by the delegates present whose. districts were to be made the sufferers just to make a peace with an outlaw body. Among the various other business was the Ontario Cup Competition for last season. This is where Norâ€" thern made itself known to the O.F.A. as regards the delay and inconvenience caused by the Toronto and â€" District Association, (Quesâ€" tion 2). Aften discussion, the matâ€" ter is to be taken up with the Disâ€" trict Associations for their approval. Another matter of importance to us was the overtime ordered to be played only in the second of Home and Home games. Nothing could ‘be shown in the constitution making that action legal. (Question 3b). On â€" motion this was rectified and will be in the rule book in future. Another question was re finances of the Ontario Cup and the stateâ€" ments made re returns of some clubs; in one instance, that of Brantford was considered serious enough for inâ€" vestigation and a committee appointâ€" ed to investigate the Branutford match at Brantford, (Questions 7â€"8). $31,881,000 $22,107,000 I have only touched on matters that really constituted the big kick from Northern Ontario. _ My full report will be submitted in the proper manâ€" ner at the next meeting of the N.O. $62,245,000 Amongst those who expressed their sympathy with the representatives of the North in the snags they run up against in the Ontario Cup last seaâ€" son were : Brown of Weston; Evans of Guelph; Dorling, of Sudbury; Donaldson, of Hamilton; Holland, of Toronto; and also Tom Mitchell, Viceâ€"Pres. Qf the D.F.A., from Montâ€" Began business 1871 $7,200,000 real. Although he eriticised your deâ€" legate for some of his remarks Mr. Mitchell admitted that we had shown the real sporting spirit throughout and that without doubt had asked some pretty knotty questions which the action of the Association toâ€"day had shown. I would like to have the Troquois Falls and Cochrane papers copy the above, as they have both at some time or other been members of the N.0O. FP.A. Trusting that some interested soccer enthusiast will start the ball rolling again in their respective towns, with the view of entering teams in the N.O.F.A. and having delegates present when that body meets in very near future. Would also advise all local clubs to get busy with their organization at once, as an early start is anticipated this year and a still bigger and betâ€" ter year is looked for in the North as regards Association Football. W. A. Field, BETTER LIVE STOCK TRAIN TO TOUR THE NORTH LAND. According to information given hy Mr. (M. Laidlaw, Superintendent of the Experimental Farm at New Iiskeard, the Better Live Stock Train, senit out ‘by the Ontario Deâ€" partment of Agriculture, is to maze a fourâ€"weeks‘ tour of the North land in the Spring, likely commencing about April 13th. It is expected that the Train will stop at Haileybury, New Liskeand, Earlton, Englehart, Charlton, [Matheson, Ramore, |Monâ€" teith, Cochrane and perhaps, Porquis Junetion. The usual stay at each place will be about a half a day, though at New Liskeard it is exâ€" pected that the Better Stock Train will spend longer than that. It will be noted that while it is not definiteâ€" ly settled that the Train is to stop at Porqgus Junetion, no provision whutâ€" ever ‘has been made for any visits on either the Poreupine or ITroquois Falls branches. On both these branches there are farming settleâ€" ments worthy of ‘help and encourazgeâ€" ment. PRESENTATION AT LARDER LAKE TO DR. W. L. GOODWIN.
