the tribune stouffville ont thursday february 1 1951 sports news and views markham millionaires might well have granted goalie norm stunden a bonus after that senior game at unionville the other night norm was probably the busiest and best man on the ice despite the fact that his team lost the game and it was strictly his eltorts that kept the score as low as it was the fact that polly milium scored the winning goal for the clippers against markham last wednesday night proved a pleas ant incident indeed since polly hails from unionville and a great crowd of friends was on hand watching trie diminutive speed merchant do his stuff with the clippers bunny morgason wellknown toronto telegram sports chief covered the senior hockey game here on saturday night several members of st michaels majors including the leagues leading scorer ubriaco and dusty blair were also out for the local game they enjoyed the big crowd and rousing enthusiasm which is definitely lacking in the major league games at the gardens stoultvilles big moment will be this saturday night in owen sound since the clippers will down the mercurys at all costs in their efforts to climb into first place if stoullville can win sat urday night it will be owen sound who is on the spot when the two meet again on feb 16th in stouffville the clippers should make every effort to end on top which will give them alliston in the first playoff round and almost assures them of going on in the ontario sr b or allan cup play offs frank boucher thinks that a larger national hockey league might be the answer for the decline in us interest he suggests new york boston tor onto montreal quebec and ottawa as one division of play with detroit chicago cleveland cin cinnati buffalo and st louis in a western wheel frankie argues that the fans would see twice as many teams by the adoption of an interlocking schedule and that the stanley cup could be contested by the winners of the two divisions its such a sensible idea that the entrenched hockey interests are likely to see that it dies before it can be born boucher would make players available for the extra teams by cutting major leagife rosters to 15

enthusiastic hockey fans for many days to come both games were terrific struggles between a team that has proven itself powerful during the entire schedule in the case of the clippers and a much improved millionaire squad who went all out to clown their high flying irivals the stouffyhle pucksters who are currently lead ing the big seven senior league in actual points met up with a markham entry that looked entire ly different from their former appearances however its the old story of winning hockey games by shooting the puck into the net and that is what the locals did as they matched the millionaires goal for goal and then in the dying minutes of the game netted the winner in the first game played at unionville polly minton saiik the all important tie breaker near the midway mark in the final period and gibson sewed it up with a centre ice shot into the open cage while stunden was sitt ing on the bench in favour of an extra forward the second en counter was broken up with a matter of three minutes left in the third period when gord lewis fired a high corner drive into the top of the net from an almost impossible angle it was a great game for the homesters to win and a heart breaker for the losers who had put up a good battle all the way in the four meetings this season between these two clubs the clippers have been successful in gaining the full eight points and extend their nondefeated streak to sixteen straight games in the firs game in unionville the final score read 53 in the clippers favour during the entire contest one man stood on the ieej majors of the that meant the difference between mixed up in just another loss and a one sided defeat in the person of norm stunden who rose again and again to handle shots from all sides and angles time and time again speedy clipper forwards stormed around the markham cage only to have a pad or a glove flick out with lightening speed to gather in or kick away the elusive rubber the clippers outshot the millionaires more than two to one hochberg opened the scoring in the first period with gibson pick ing up an assist on the goal allen of markham was serving a penalty at the time five minutes later the millionaires tied the score as wat son banged in a pass from arm strong who centred the puck out from the corner markham took the lead at the half way mark in the period as gray zoomed in alone for a neat tally hochberg was sitting out a tripping penalty when the goal was scored hoch berg notched his second marker of the night from couch and put the teams once again on even terms with about twenty seconds remain ing in the first twenty minutes lewis standing in front tipped machins hard blueline drive into the net to end the period with the clippers holding a 32 lead the middle frame saw only one goal scored tiiat by markham but almost everything else was includ ed in the period from wild sparr ing sprees o neat stickhandling and passing plays the period was only three minutes old when singleton backhanded robertsons pass into the cage as rhodes had his view blocked on the shot there were a total of ten penalties in the period five to each team stark and since drew the only

and the return encounter in nobleton arena the following thursday aurora have two games also both with the high flying weston dukes who are currently leading the league this is a real neck and neck battle with the jets having the odds in their favour at the present time on thursday of last week aurora made their final visit to unionville with the outcome being an almost must win affair for the jets because the yonge street squad were fourth position at the time putting everrhing they had into the game the jots came through with the all important win in the first period defenceman don courrier was moved up for ward by coach bob lawrie and the move seemed to be a great success don bagged both the jets goals and gave bis team a 21 lead going into the second not satisfied the inspired forward ran the count to the three goals to give the jets a commanding lead at the halfway mark in the game marriet picked up assists on all three goals at the close of the second frame lome white

the scoring for the locals but brampton came back to tie the count and end the period 11 deadlock in the second period the jets went all out as lome white broke the tie and man- added another going into the final twenty minutes with a two goal lead the locals held out with goalie moore putting on a terrific goal- tending display the game was a very rough and rugged affair as the brampton boys fresh from a win over the league leading weston dukes seemed somewhat confident of a win over their rivals of lower standing one 1ampton player hillson was given a three game suspension for abusive language and will be last to the club during that time unionville who have lost only one of their last seven games are really a going concern and should give their opposition a good battle when play off time rolls around since the cost of a team is no small matter a good crowd on friday night would help the boys a great deai remember north toronto lions wili be the visitors so get out and cheer your local junior ij club to victory boards the third and final frame proved to be the big period for the clip pers as they scored two goals to sew the game up the winner came at 021 as gibson started to roll and fell near centre ice in doing so he cleared the puck to minton skating at full speed over the blueline polly made no mis take and picked the bottom corner with a perfect drive play see sawed back and forth until in the final minutes gibson and sayliss were thumbed to the cooler at once coach robinson pulled stun den from the net and threw an extra forward into the fray the crowd was tense one bad move could turn defeat into a tie at least or could mean a worse defeat the latter happened as gib son who by this time had returned to the ice worked his way to centre and found the empty target with a weil aimed shot that ended the scoring for the game as only a matter of seconds remained in the contest in the second game played at stouftvilie the tension was even greater than in the first contest markham opened the scoring after only two minutes of play as scott put singleton in the clear the millionaire rentreman coasted in to slide the puck under rhodes who dropped to the ice on the shot a matter of seconds later gibson tied the score from minton and put the team back on even terms at the six minute mark bell let go with a hard drive to the top corner to once again put the visitors in the lead but with allen of markham in the penalty box sayliss drove the puck into the net to end the scoring for the period deadlocked 22 at 220 of the second period bell of markham carried to centre passed to galand who relayed to bell again the speedy winger put the visitors in the lead for the third time with a hard shot the millionaire lead held out until near the end of the period when sayliss and mccrone combined to even the count scott and stark were serving minor roughing penalties at the time and robert son was also in the detention seat on a minor charge the middle frame ended with the score read ing 33 the final period was a cleanly played twenty minutes as a pen alty might be disastrous to either team as time wore on it was easily seen that one goal would mean the game both teams had some great chances with stark having the best opportunity of the period as he sailed in alone only to be outguessed sensationally by stunden at 1720 gord lewis aimed and fired a rising corner drive into the top of the net to stun the markham team and spectators alike once again stun den was drawn for an extra for ward as in the previous game but to no avail the final score read stouffville 1 markham 3 for the visitors the entire team looked much improved over other appearances here with galand bell and singleton showing up above the others for the home sters stark turned in a good game with his swerving style catching the eye of all the fans as stunden rose to the heights in the previous game so rhodes held the fort in spectacular fashion for the clip
