Porky is of course well established. Spider seems to have made a hit right off the bat.

All Timmins Scouts will attend a getâ€" together meeting some time in January, leadcrs have announced. There will be competitions between troops, games and other Scout activities. The main idea is to make Timmins Scouts acâ€" quainted with one another and it is possible that such gatherings will be hceld at regular intervals.

Aftcr playing high school hockey, Spider jumped into the senior N.O.H.A. and was a member of the tsam won the trophy two years in a row, ing with 1931. Last year he was Kirkland Lake Millionaires and thinking seriously of signing up the Timmins ssniors again this when the K.C. offer came his way. that endâ€" with was with year used to appear at the rink those Satâ€" urday mornings when they were sure of being put on a team for a good half hour‘s play. The tenâ€"yearâ€"olds would have their chance at it; twelve of them wceuld be split into wellâ€"balanced teams. Th: same thing held for the other agoâ€" groups of boys. Spider, Porky Levine and Ron Hudson were among â€"the best of the players in that juvenile scramble, but they never had too easy a time of it.

After that he becomes a senior regardless of age. The new rink is much improved by the cutting off of the. dangerous square corners and the installation of proper lighting. Twentyâ€"five bulbs will e used this year. The dressing rooms are better heated and more commodious than last year.

Real Sports North Bay may be rinkless but at least the city is not hockeyâ€"less. From the excitement they manage to work up over their city league games and the apparent fun they derive from playing on the open air rink, it‘s probable that the players get more reaxl fun from the game than do those who play in artificial ice palaces, HAILEYBURY EDITOR FIRST IN UNIQUE SHOOTING TEST How About It? Here‘s another idea from Sudbury that might be avplied here without difâ€" ficulty. The old Sudbury Hockey Assoâ€" clation that has for years directed merâ€" cantile hockey in the Nickel City, this week became a part of the powerful Nickel Belt Hockey Association. The teams will be known as Senior "B." The difficulty that has arisen here with so many asking entrance to the Commerâ€" clal League might be overcome by arâ€" ranging for Commsercial "A," the six teams chosen for Commercial League competition and Commercial "B," the remainder of the teams now relegated to "mercantile" league, as yet unâ€" formed. Thus a single set of regulaâ€" tions would govern the two sections and it woulj be an easy matter to place teams in "A" competition who showed themselves too good for "B" ccmpany and vice versa. A single year‘s experiment with such an idea should prove its worth. With all this, the Q.H.A. continues to have a strangle hold on hockey in Ontario and will continue to do so fot a number of years. For an athletic ( association, it is a wealthy one. A goodâ€" ly stock of bonds, stored away in the heyâ€"day of the game, helps each year to pay the rather mysterious deficit that develops. Others have tried to break up the O.H.A. "Outlaw" leagues have been formed time and again. All have failed. The North might not, if it is the wholehearted desire of the many clubs to buck the Gardensâ€"O.H.A. Two ‘Liskeyprd Entries New Liskeard is back in hockey again with not only a junior entry but a senior one as well. They may get a bye in the senior loop, for little has been heard from either Cobalt or Haileyâ€" bury about senior possibilities. Carnival Time Approaches "A spectacular display of colour, cosâ€" tumes and fancy skating" was the big event at Sudbury on Saturday night when 40 members of the London Skatâ€" ing Club came north to the "mamâ€" moth carnival" staged by the Copper Cliff Skating Club at the big Stanley stadium. Winter carnivals seem to be on the up in Canada just now. For many years they sickenedâ€"and died, except for the big Toronto show that is one of the continent‘s best, and Montreal‘s "Fete de Nuit," a purely community event. It‘s doubtful if anyâ€" one in Timmins would risk putting on an affair such as Sudjury did or even one like that at Kirkland Lake last winter. Perhaps Montreal‘s idea would work cut better here. Those who have seen Mount Royal littsrally covered with boys and girls, men and women, skiing, snowshoring, tobogganing, skatâ€" ing, will have the general idea of the thing. Prizes are offered for this, that and the other event. A huge bonfile melts the snow for a circle 50 feet in circumference. The huge toboggan slide is gay with coloured lights. In former days an ice palace was one big attraction. Everybody goes, whether to take part or to remain one of the happyâ€"goâ€"lucky crowd. It‘s Montreal‘s night of winter funrâ€"an amazing inâ€" dication of the popularity of winter sport. you must abide‘by our import ruies,. Anyone who does not qualify under them must be ruled off the ice." What some of the clubs wanted was for the O.H.A. to voluntarily give up all control over Northern Hockey, yet still allow the N.OMH.A. a voicse (even though it be a very small one) in the affairs of the O.H.A. Naturally the O.H.A. refused this. It leaves one course open to dissatisfied clubsâ€"withâ€" drawal from the O.H.A. to become direct branch of the C.A.H.A. This the majority of the clubs do not want, it seems certain. On top of a considerable amount of additional expense, the few advantages offered by affiliation with the O.H.A. would be lost,. The only gain, would be the ability of Northern clubs to do as much importing a§ they wished. Surely this is not in the best interests of hockey in the North. Many are the howls of dissatisfacâ€" tion that are going up these days about the O.H.A.‘s refusal to let the N.O.H.A. run hockey the way they want to and at the same time retain their affiliaâ€" tion with the O.H.A. The parent body says, in effect: "Play the way yOou wart to all winter, provided it is with=â€" in the CA.H.A. and A.A.U. of C. reguâ€" lations. But when it comes to the playâ€" downs for the Ontario championship, you must abide‘by our import rules.
