previous games norm stundeii unionville jets approach clippers for affiliation deal there have been some moves taken by the executive of the unionville junior b jets to come to an affiliation agreement with the stouffville clippers and move the club into stouffville the deal as worked elsewhere would be in the form of a farm club tieup with players being brought in for the junior club and later being moved on to the senior organization while the unionville club has made a creditable showing for several seasons they have been hard pressed for attendance and believe that a tieup with the clippers would give them added drawing power the local senior club on the other hand would benefit from the fact that they would have a continuous reservoir of young players coming along and would be able to move up reserves in case of injury the matter was brought home to the clipper management tliis year when they were refused certificates for two junior players because they did not come from a junior b club affiliated with the senior outfit just whether or not anything will come out of the meetings between the two club managements is not known as the matter will require considerable study and consideration in the current playoffs union ville has won one game and tied one against brampton in their best fouroutofseven benefit fuiid sorely needed now with the serious injury to frank stephenson on sunday after noon the stouhville clippers injured players benelit fund is needed more than eyer before while the response has been fine guarded the nets for the locals and turned in a creditable perform ance the clippers attack slack ened down to a walk in the third period when they had but one shot on naylor in the oshawa cage the clippers showed up to best advantage when shorthanded and can still boast of the best penalty killing efforts of any club in the league in the goal scoring department ronnie bell and don lewis were the lamp lighters for stouffville while thaler with two wilson tisdal dickens nelson and hold- en scored for the winners to date many sports- fans may have passed over the matter light ly or just forgotten to drop in their contribution the fund will be hardpressed to keep up with the need with still another player on the injured list frank stephenson is a married man witli several small children he has carried the stouffville hoc key colours for two seasons and helped bring fame and a champion ship to town last year on sunday afternoon at oshawa he received a shoulder separation similar- to feeder kennedy of the leafs and will be
