sikiina club but through lack of cooperation by the weatherman the organizations folded u at the present time the number of skiers in stouffville number only a few over the weekend the skims at skyioft was excellent and those who still get a thrill out of sliding down the long slopes took advantage of the snowfall some of the skiers in claremont who took to the hills were hoy mcleod willard peddle wilf glidden garry cooper jack manse and others yvieiher the sport will ever be revived is difficult to answer at one time the claremont ski club had an enrolment of some forty memberes if the weatherman continues to cover the ground with a white blanket every winter the local skiing enthusiasm may once more flourish i as in the past no llaci like jiomk following the humiliating defeat suffered by lyndhurst motors on friday at the hands of a picked canadian army team in paris gregg currie and his team might well be wishing they had never left their home in east york from all reports it was expected that the toronto lyndhursts would drop their exhibition opener hut that 112 setback wa a hard pill for the caiia officials to swallow they intend to rush reinforce ments over to europe to strengthen the east york lineup the boys are finding the going a little tough other than on the ice the high cost of food and clothing ls making a big hole in the pocket books of some of the players bob kennedy reports that a nylon shirt costing 11 in canada sells for around 17 in paris the food is also very expensive getting hack to hockey the next few days may actually decide how iyndhursts will fare in the world championship hockey playoffs they are slated to play three games over the weekend three decisive victories could restore some of the confidence which was lost following their onesided defeat in paris ax even hhkak this season an uxbridge port perry community league was organized which included eight teams brooklin brougham port perry uxbridge peaches claremont greenbank and comco at the beginning of the schedule a definite ruling was made by the executive that all players must be signed at the completion of the second game now it seems that some of the clubs are in favor of loading up their respective teams with ringers one of the reasons put forth for signing these above average players is to produce better hockey and draw larger crowds in hopes of operating the league on a moneymaking basis this line of thought might be correct but in following through with such a plan the whole idea of a community league or bush league is tossed to the four winds the sole purpose of organizing such a group was to give players who were unable to measure up to oha standards a chance to play hockey it is only natural that if topnotch stars are introduced into this league they will replace players of lesser hockey ability which is only defeating the purpose for which the league was organized as far as crowds are concerned a community would be more apt to support a club of local players than some unknown stars who were picked up from distant centres concerning the moneymaking proposition no club who enters a bush league expects to line the pockets of its players with returns from the gate receipts many rural clubs have been playing for years and consider themselves lucky if they break even in the finance department at the end of a season sure every team likes to win championships and every team likes to make a playoff berth but the main idea of such an organization is that john jones and bill smith will get a chance to prove their worth against opposition of a similar calibre these are the fellows who really appreciate the chance to play hockey so lets give them a chance slouffyihe tribi dear sir j it is felt that a strong orj ization should be formed j take over the now defunct i stoulfville athletic club and that the work of this new as- jsoclation be extended to other fields there has been talk o an athletic commission it is however an impossibility at 1 present as this would entail j the spending of considerable j money as a paid manager is required in this type of organ- j ization i until such time as the afore- mentioned commission can be brought into being it is sug gested that a stouffville rec reation association he formed to assist financing all sports and other small groups inter ested in the welfare of the youth recreationally and phy sically in stouffville and dis trict this would take in both boys and girls the associa tion would be apart from the lions feewee hockey club which is now recognized as a national institution in this district it is hoped that the direct orate of the new association will consist of two members from each of the various or ganizations in town this will give those who are repeatedly being called on for financial assistance a voice in the rais ing and spending of funds of the newly formed association letters inviting the various organizations to elect two members each to represent their respective participating organizations of the newly proposed association will be forwarded in the next week or two tom wedseltoft clippers vs oshawa in whitby to

insisted that his rearguard rovers should score more goals because on saturi day night thats exactly what j they did the stouffville de- j fensive foursome turned in one of teir best games to date besides counting two of their iubs five tallies they set up a olid wall in front of goalie blake katough bill melville and joe scatalon were the rear j guard marksmen with both t tallies coming in the final per- iod bert baker and don mc intosh didnt figure in the sco ring but both provided plenty of blueline tiring power ehvood small frank steph enson and gordie haddleton started for the clippers and although they pressed ravina inside their own zone they failed to score the lines of hal gibson ken mcneil and ronnie bell along with polly minton geo stark and nick bangay looked equally as good at 940 of the first period hal gibson potted the first stouff ville goal when he batted the puck into the open net with the ravina goalie lying off to one side ken mcneil and ron bell picked up assists on the play bell notched the lone second period goal when he picked up a blueline pass from cen- treman ken mcneil and siz zled a bullet drive into the up per right hand corner the third period was less than two minutes old when gordie haddleton slid a pass back to defencoman bill mel ville on the blueline melville teed off with a long shot to sink his third goal of the sea son stouffville continued to dominate the play throughout the final twenty minutes and struck for two more goals geo stark made it to unassis ted and joe scatalon drilled one of his highly respected slap shots into the twine to complete the whitewash there was one brief skirmish in the final minutes of the period when gordie haddleton and carreys of ravina shed their gloves and squared off both were- banished with minor penalties don irwin former coach of the unionville jets was in the ravina lineup but failed to show anything of a spectacular nature mark mills a former clipper rearguard and now
