Newmarket High seniors and juniors are at the bottom of their respective leagues But thats the way it is Neith er team to this point has been able to snatch a victory The situation has both Fred coach and Geo Kelly junior shot caller worried How ever both declare emphatically that this situation is due to change right smartly The NHS seniors making their first run in the six man variety football plunged to their third loss last week when eclipsed them 2217 at the NHS field It was a close game all the way Newmarket trailed at the end of the first quarter at half time and faced a deficit at

suffered a reverse Weve been scouting Andy Bear hopefuls Looks like the boss man has done it again The along with his eag er beaver coach Charlie has rounded up a raft of player talent to carry the Bears colors into junior The Bears are in for tough sledding that much is definite however An drew quips well be in the play offs He means it too and An drew has the happy faculty of calling his shots in apple pie order Is hockey for the small fry too organised To listen to some of the old timers mount the soap box on the subject youd get the idea that it was say perhaps with some truth the kids nowadays have to have everything organized for them Then again I dont see these gen tlemen taking to the horse and buggy are changing We didnt build our modern arenas and in stall artificial ice just to look at They were primarily built for the community and as a place for the kids to play hockey I wonder sometimes if we dont lose sight of this fact At least when they ore at the rink we know where they ore We only mention this fact be cause as governor of the North York Minor Hockey loop we learn that Aurora wont be enter ing any teams this season We had hopes of seeing them in with one two or three teams Certain ly from a standpoint of talent Au rora has enough players on tap Ifi enter Understand correct me if Im wrong the holdup is that nobody will foot the bill for ice time Surely some at the service clubs will take an interest in the matter If the wee nippers dont get nut and chose the fund is used to help local people and does not go into a common national fund Our other objective is equally important It is our aim to have every citizen wear a poppy as a mark of remembrance for those who lost their lives in two world wars and in the Korean cam paign said Mr Tobey Anyone wishing
