mitonm awarded jos clark memorial trophy for j 939 vol 52 no 33 stouffville ont thursday november 23rd 1939 eight pages intermediate team seen as likely hockey setup it seems definitely establish ed according to last years members of the executive in stouffvilles intermediate hock ey circles that a team will be entered this coming season in either the uxbridge intercom munity league or in a league of the ontario amateur hockey association uxbridge has been promising a meeting for some time to dis cuss the situation but so far nothing has been done there is also talk about the northern townof an international oha team and under these circum stances it is hard to say just what form this years league may take local gossip as to stouffvilles feelings seem to point to the desire to enter in the larger amateur association where a series of home and home games would be played so far as we have been able to find out port perry is the only town nearby that has stated a desire to enter the ontario amateur ranks entries to this association must be in by the end of the month and eighteen players listed on the card for the winter we understand that stouftville has already made known to the authorities at the gardens their desire to enter such a league there has been no move to re establish a junior oha team here and boys of last years intermediates who played at uxbridge feel that with the added support they might gain from the disbanded juniors a good team could be formed stouffvilles army of hunters return having bagged over a dozen deer wardens confiscate two fawns

party of fourteen going to their accustomed grounds where they were surrounded with every kind of luck every man had a deer when they left camp but enroute back the game wardens rather spoiled the fun to some extent they claim ed two of their deer were only fawns and despite a lively argument the law won out and the boys were that many short when they reached home but the wardens had two deer they never shot fletcher goudie and ivan had a hurried three days away from the tin shop at their summer camp on west arm lake nip- issing it was long enough for them to drop a heavy buck over 200 pounds and a young doe both of which they brought back to prove there was no moonshine about how to get and kept their distance the greatest good to the greatest number is the way the deer had it figured apparently for there were twelve in one party that brought back twelve deer and one black bear ken reesor brought down the 100 lb alleged illegal hunt halted in markham hunting rabbits with the aid of
