wilkes ws a steady peformer for the old boys and made no mistake with bis shot after taking a pass from gar the boumer brown as he teamed in over the bantam blueline the oldtimers bis 215 pound defence star bin sanders sr was a tower of strength on the allstars blueline although he as compietely deked out of poition on one ocasion by 120pouisd bii sanders jr and toppled heavily to the ice the most sparkling defensive performtn was turnid in by goalie kill vezina lennox in the oldtuners cage to say he had a buy ntsht would be putting it mildly he was literally vulcanized with rubber his jqb was made even more difficult when the oldtimers ran into a flood of penalties but he weathered the storm and only allowed three pucks to slip by him coach tom wedseltoft of the allstars used cec teader hendricks to grab tiie faceoffs when his team was a man short but coach clarke countered the strategy by sending out team captain norm hendricks who got the draws nine times out of ten au joking aside it was a tine show players of both teams enjoyed every minute of it and the cowd was equally enthusias tic if these former stouffville stars can once again find enough energy to pull on

have visited the sportsmans show in toronto this week the peewee playoffs get underway at the arena on saturday afternoon what would you do with richard if you were in president campbells shoes what penalty would you mete out to rocket richard would you fine him would you suspend him for two or three games or would you expel him from the nhl for the rest of the season the answer to this question will be forthcoming possibly this week but here is how we feel on the matter for our money we dont think richard should be allowed to take part in another national hockey league contest for the remainder of the current schedule or the playoffs you think that is a pretty stiff penalty perhaps so but what ahout the opposing players who almost weekly are subjected to the rockets wild exhibitions of temper his re cent episode with bostoms ha laycoe is nothing new its happening all the time the penalties placed on richard following such incidents are becoming nothing more than a joke what happens to ted lindsay when he takes a poke at an abusive spectator in a front row seat hes suspended richard can push the officials around or break his stick over another players hend and he gets away with it some day unless hes stopped his riotous actions on the ice may prove fatal to some innocent player take our own senior b league for instance can you imagine what would happen to players like hal gibson geo stark gordie lladdleton or klwood small it they suddenly attacked an opposing player using their sticks like axes they would certainly receive more than a 100 fine richard is a great hockey player probably one of the greatest hut theres no place for him on the ice as long as he persists in deliberately attempting to injure members of the opposing teams the rockot has no doubt for the past few years been the idol of thousands of up and coming youngsters hut if his actions con tinue both he and his reputation will quickly pass out of the hockey picture iationa comeback

the opening minutes of the game orillia toik charge and for a few hairraish moments it appeared possible that the homesters might be headed for their third straight setback the period however was only five minutes old when centre star gordie lladdleton obtained possession of a loose puck at centre ice and flipped the rubber to frank stephen son who was driving in on the right wing stephensons drive caught the far corner of the pontiac cage for the first stotiffviiie tally kiwood small made it 20 when his weak shot slipped between goalie shropshires skates into the bottom of the net gordie lladdleton was standing in front of the pontiac cage and blocked the goalies view of the play at 1s27 chick webster play ing one of his finest games of the season took a pass from ed calhoun at the orillia blue- line and rifled a hard shot into the top corner of the net his tally was similar to stephen sons opening goal penalties almost fatal in the early minutes of the second frame stouffville ran into a number of costly penal ties and orillia took advantage of their extra manpower to give clipper netminder jack rhodes a hazardous time it took favero only ten seconds to break the goose egg when iie intercepted a bad pass by de- fenceman ed calhoun and blinked the light as the puck rolled a fraction of an inch over the line at 3s al shew- ehuk put his team right back in the game with a bullet drive from the blueline aside from the two shots that evaded him netminder rhodes proved to be a real stumbling block in the path of advancing orillia for wards geo stark scores two geo stark always a head ache to orillia defenceman was in fine form on monday night and sparked his clubs attack every time out iils neatest effort was at 643 of the second period when he grabbed a loose puck near the orillia net skated in front of goalie shrop shire and backhanded the disk over the prostrate netminder as he flopped to the ice to make the stop the dashing winger completed the stouff ville scoring at s21 of the third period when his shot from loft wing caught the cor ner the two teams set a terrific pace from the drop of the puck tempers flared on numerous occasions but referees andy

second period when the pontiacs struck for 4 goals they came within the short space of three minp utes in the late stages of the middle frame the stouffville defence ap peared weak on a number of occasions they embarked on a number of rinklong rushes on ly to be caught out of position when the stubborn orillia rear guards broke up the attack clipper netminder jack rhodes appeared a little off

other arenas in the nearby commun ities why simply becattse they can no longer enjoy plea sure sk3ting in this town due to ice conduions poor music and the conduct of our teen agers the young fry no longer attend the rink to skate but to too and play tag as well as loitering in centre ice and along the boards many work in a little hockey practice as well a pleasure skater daes not enjoy being bodychecked nor having a tag player rush ing the wrone way in his direc tion skaters have been seri ously injured by this rude be haviour nor does the pleasure skater want to pay 50c to skate en ice that has been used for a regular hockey practice just before he is allowed on the ice the least the management could do is to flood before the skaters step out 1 skated recently in a nearby arena where they flooded at inter mission on saturday night the socalled music was nothing but jazz until intermission how does one stroke to this sort of music i also have a suspicion that the freezing unit is turned off for the first par of the even ing as the ice is soft after intermission the ice is harder and the atmosphere much colder is this fair to the plea sure skater such treatment would never be handed out to the hockey players they are not expected to skate on ice that is all cut up another fact that discour aged skaters from the sur rounding community was the switching around of
