thanked them and said hed manage to get along without the money And wed say he managed very well The 32yearold unknown from Iowa was and unsung in the early rounds of the Open- He was another golfer

stage dont appear to be too rosy A meeting for the purpose or reorganizing the circuit was held Friday at the Newmarket arena Only two teams namely Sutton Newmarket sent representatives Notices of the meeting had been sent out to Richmond Hill Aurora as well as New market and Sutton Sutton representatives attend ing were John Clare Morrison Roy Sheppard Cliff Thompson Representing Newmarket were Andy Closs and George After learning that Slouff- ville and had joined forces for an intermediate A club it was decided to contact Richmond Hill au rora also Woodbridge regard ing Trolley Icague entries It was felt a five team league if It could be organized would save teams in this area consider able travelling Unless the Trolley League is organized Newmarket will be grouped in intermediate with Woodbridge Milton Georgetown Brampton and Sutton classified in termediate C will probably be grouped with Aurora Alliston Beeton Ed gar and Thornton Prospects of icing a contending Newmarket team in the OHA intermediate race appear bright Leastwise club directors were happy about the teams initial practice over the weekend There were 17 trainees on hand and the list included several newcomers Among the newcomers were George Bill Bain Don Curtis and Jack All the new recruits with the ex ception of Curtis are defense- men Ken Joe Burke Vandorf Bruin last season was the chief candidate for

Boston organ ization while in turn are affiliated with Owen Sound Junior and Newmarket junior Some local hockey players who intend try out with the Smoke Rings attended the meet ing and enjoyed getting first hand knowledge of Smoke Rings junior hockey plans for this sea son All the players went away with a clearer picture of the pro gram and what a tieup with Flyers meant Mr Cotton also reported that two local boys Bill and Jack Cain who were attending the Flyers camp had im pressed the scouts at the Flyers training camp Groupings While the H A groupings are still very much in the

for New markets newly organized inter mediate club it is possible they will be grouped with Stouffville Milton George town Brampton and Oakville Brampton and will probably carry an A rating while Newmarket and the other teams in the group including and Woodbridge will probably rate classifica tion- Sutton Greenshirts the other district intermediate club carry ing a rating will probably have a
