a new resting place Everything looks back in tip top shape and Stan Smith reports tomorrows senior opener with the Red- men vs big bad Clippers from will go on as Incidentally the Metro senior loop has sunk to four teams Newmarket and Its much bet ter for the East Toronto Lumber men to give up the ghost now than to wait until the season is in full swing Under the pres ent arrangement it should make for a good compact four team circuit Aurora arena took a worse beating than the local igloo However your scribe is looking for Jack Robinson and company to be back in operation in the very near future We have heard several rumors along the main street that the Hub is considering a junior entry If anything is go ing to be done to revive junior hockey now the year get started According to all re ports a group comprising Au rora Whitby and possibly will be formed If the Newmarket and district hockey loop as is reported does not function this season there would he ah open night at the arena A district junior loop would keep down operating ex penses to a minimum The na tural rivalry between Aurora and Newmarket should pack in enough customers to keep the sponsors on the right side of the ledger Certainly so far as play ing material goes there are enough junior age players knocking about to Ice a fine homebrew side Several local players wo note have been out with Auroras junior entry While I have nt my rule book at the ready seems to me players arent eligible to play for Aurora under the junior import rule Our sidekick Ab- can probably inform us better on this subject To make a long story shorter it sounds like a good idea to get junior hockey moving again Our minor hockey clubs keep bringing along players but when it comes to junior they have to go elsewhere to play We dont think our operating a junior club here would bother our southern cousins to any great extent They want to operate a home brew team In fact we believe they would welcome a Newmar ket team It would give both towns two sure fire drawing cards From the back fence listening post Fridays North York minor league organization meeting fell victim to Hurricane Hazel Hope to have the meeting later this month

lhe season would be beset by horrid spectres and hideous dreams For In it- tiff situation could face Use intrepid souls through no fault of their own but via rules which uncertainly govern the actual play hi concerning invasion of the who from www such importance should be Being an soul we somehow gained the im pression that at last the had got away from the timor ous rule that he situation in uncertainly and had come up sharply etched legislation so that a touchdown to the team offended against wcamo completely automatic In stead of leaving the referee in the middle But the new rule Isnt quite that sharply designed Its full of deceptive sets forth that when an invasion of the field by an unauthorised person occurs when it obvious to the referee that might have scored Award ft touch-down- Any unauthor ised player or- players shall be Immediately disqualified from further In the game That doesnt make the touchdown automatic Not the way we read these thing It leaves the offence a matter for official judgment But in slightly contradictory fashion C sets forth that should the unauthorized person who Invaded the field bo a player coach trainer equipment man or any other person permitted a place on the team bench an automatic touch down shall be awarded This the right ruling the straight forward ruling whereas merely confuses and leaves room for argument So if any player should from bench this season and overthrow a rival he had better shout Im working under Clause which will pat the onus right on the officials the poor guys who are always in the middle Tow

and came out at the northwest corner Aurora Building Company workmen after the flood waters had subsided climbed in under the floor and pipes to block up the floor to prevent further sinking Arena
