near the city its no secret that the leafs are backing the st michaels entry and will assume all financial losses if any they are also making way for the irish to ice a good club by helping to reinstate fifteen former pros on their list and dividing the lot be tween the marlboro and st mike clubs two of last years marlboro players have been released to the double blue which provides one for

dixie and are expected to be contracting for the local arena shortly there has been talk of entering a couple of minor- hockey teams from stouflville in thl competition rather than the omha it is be lieved that they would get more hockey in the city league and have good travelling omha groups in this area in late years have not proved too satisfactory a number of clubs indicate their intentions of entering but peter out before the schedule has either started or is completed stouffville ha left high and dry on occasions in the past the lions club we believe are willing to provide the necessary financial backing through their boys work committee last year saw two fine minor teams operating and with such a good start it is to be hoped that someone- will take up the load of

competitions took advantage of scoring opportun ities in the second aud third periods to take the game 82 the clipper squad showed off their new sweaters for the first time and looked powerful even against their professional opposition such names as hannigan psntka sull ivan and fowler made tne differ ence between the two clubs i although in territorial play there wasnt much to choose between whe two teams the scott brothers a hockey formed a powerful twosome on defense while such stars as bren- nan lewis watson singleton couch and the rest fought had all the way armstrong a new addi tion on the forward line looked good as did the other newcomer- wade and mccrone considering it was the opening game of the- sea son the hard hitting toronto lads played up to their senior a rating with stiff checks and num erous flareups adding to the enjoyment the penalties were numerous as the referee and lines men were kept busy all night in the first period hannigan started the scoring as he broke free from a clipper ganging attack tee skate in alone and beat stunden only a matter of seconds had elapsed when singleton tied the score from brennan inside the st mikes blueline at 745 fowler again put his team one up from psutka on a close in play three minutes later the armstrong lewis and couch line teamed up to again put the locals on even terms armstrong actually fired the rubber into the cage after couch had made the pass out to lewis who in turn relayed it to his sharp shooting wingman at 1202 blair put the college lads in front to stay as he beat stundan with singleton serving a tripping penalty in the second frame blair again blinked the light as he raced from the penalty box and found himself alone inside the blueline the clippers fought hard to get back in the game and did succeed in nett ing the puck only to be disallowed as it glanced off a high stck the toronto lads then made it 52 as ubriaco scored from kennedy at 1030 lewis received a bai crack on the leg and also a penalty for hooking which raised a load argu ment from the home team but to no avail the retaliating player was not penalized for his stick swinging action however mesich of st mikes was given a two minute rest in the cooler and a 10 minute misconduct penalty added on as he crashed the referee on his way to the box the seconclperiod been i ended with two visitors stihsitting several it out in the detention seat in the third the senior a boys counted three more with ubriaco hannigan and fowler scoring in that order stunden turned in a terrific game in the nets and received many compliments from the fast skating college boys the game proved a good workout for both teams and coach bangay was i very pieased with his teams show ing for the first game of the season some of the boys found their condition not quite up to par as player changes were very frequent whiie the play was still going on a crowd of over 700 turned out for the exhibition alid saw two good teams give their utmost in a hard hitting rugged contest hope for action this week on local player squabble this week should see action by the oha to call in the stouffville club for a hearing regarding their request for releases of former markham players the players themselves have all filed com plaints with the oha on being refused releases from markham a check with president john torrance of the markham club reveals that they are standing pat on refusing to release any players without remuneration although they would consider a deal in the case of jack watson the price we want for all the players stouflville is after is more than 2000 he stated to the tribune stouttville club mr torrance contends showed bad form in approaching players before coming to the markham executive the markham chief believes that so much hard feeling has been stim ulated over the affair now that the players will possibly refuse to play for markham even if the oha says they can be held manager oneill of the stouff ville club is firm in the belief that the matter should be left to the players entirely and if they desire a move and can show that they can better themselves they should not be held by markham against their will mr oneill points out that there have been six players namely norm stunden mac clement keith jewett vic siucq and the rumney brothers nipped from stouffville ranks in the past few years four at one time and no move was made by the local club to keep these players here stouffville lost the services of one of their top notch players of last year because he found he could better himself financially else where it is the contention of the local club that markham either make an attractive enough offer to get the players they want or forget about them return of norm stunden recalls thrilling junior
