clippers win secon straight trim em sir is a noun containing only three letters but in ray minor hockey vocabulary it packs more punch than any other word in my muchused 158 page webster anyone who has ever handled the coaching duties of a peewee ban tam or even a midget entry knows that when he enters the dressing room he is the recipient of various remarks and greetings nothing impresses me more than to hear a coach addressed as sir by his young proteges i would automatic ally select such a lad as a boy with aboveaverage character and intelligence it is quite possible that his same gentle manly conduct would be apparent on the ice at school or in his home respect of parents teachers and coaches is best shown through the use of this small but important threeletter word it creates a lasting impression on elders and superiors al though the majority of grownups do not expect such polite ness from our young people i believe it is appreciated it is really very little to ask recently while returning home i offered a ride to a young high school boy who was hitchhiking at the westerly itmits of town i later learned that he was travelling much farther than my planned route after driving about a mile i stopped think you very much sir he said to me the boys character was revealed in that one brief remark should get together stouffvilles chances of winning an omha midget c championship this year are rather slim due to a ridiculous situation that exists here at the present time our town has two entries one in the north york circuit and another oper ating under the lons banner together i believe that we could ice a provincial champion but separated it is unlikely that either club will advance too far along the playoff route who should ice the one stouffvllle midget club i dont really know nor do i really care i do know this however that divided we cannot stand i realize that there is more to minor hockey than the winning of championships but none of us will forget our bantam team of last year that advanced into the provincial finals such favourable publicity and acclaim is well worth a combined effort i do not wish to open up an old sore but to me the situation is regrettable good midgetage players are not that plentiful in stouffville the opposition will be strong enough without sending only a portion of our potential power into the hockey wars perhaps if the boys hang up their togs at midseason the separated parties will wish they had given the matter more unbiased consideration the result of the whole schmozzle could be that stouffvllle will play stouff vllle in the first round of the ontario playoffs i cannot think of anything more absurd our north york entry must of course knock off both woodbrldge king city and sutton jn order to advance into provincial competition the lions team has a bye into the ontario playoffs even if some reconciliation is made it is possible that it is now too late to combine our talents if this is so then theres little anyone can do let it be hoped that such a dilemma shall not occur again sticks fob stabs although a number of players excelled in this weeks uons peewee doubleheader i feel that the bruins kirk mortimer is a deserving winner kirk is the type of lad that seldom misses a game good weather and bad will see him in the rink on monday evening he scored two goals to pace his club to a 31 win for his efforts he will receive an allstar hockey stick from mr cec hendricks hardware store main street stouffvllle hockey magic give stouffvilles hal gibson a bunch of weakankled lads and its a pretty safe bet that hell produce a hockey contender before playoff time last winter he took over the coaching duties of our bantam entry and before the amazed eyes of every hockey enthusiast he carried the club into the ontario finals this year another mansize job has been placed in his lap once again at the helm of stouffvilles bantam entry he will attempt to duplicate his feat of last year his job is even more difficult this winter since i believe he lacks some of the natural talent that was evident in the roster of 5758 but dont sell the team short in two exhibition games with port perry they have chalked up victories give the boys a few more contests under their belts and anything can happen after last seasons spec tacular playoff performance it is difficult to say what coach gibson will pull but of his magic hat rangers score upset blank hawks 70 the rangers staged a real upset on monday night in the lions peewee league by blank ing the second place black hawks 70 the win
