would think they would know if they yap to the referee theyre bound to draw a misconduct We re member Andy Bellemer saying about the junior when he handed out a stretch and the player skated over to argue You got two want to go for 12 That usually cut the wouldbe debater cold This corner started out years ago opening and closing the sinbin door before most of the present day players were born- The old timers were earning misconducts in those days and the new crop is still getting them They never learn do they The refereeing today is getting better year by year even if I do sadly think the hockey isnt as good as it was before the In vention of the center red line Weve seen excellent officiating hereabouts this season by Ted Topping Andy Bob Peters Stan Bos- and Jack Shropshire Jack was born in Newmarket and after a sojourn at Weston is getting back closer to home He is now living at Loring Doolittle is expected to become a Hub resident this month While I think of it Har vey Gibney and Bill McGhee have been doing a first class job as linesmen Theyre due to get some assignments It always seems a problem particularly in the case of minor hockey to get referees Anyone interested in becoming a referee should start off in the minors The minor clubs are looking for officials Dont expect to get paid right off the button the minor teams havent the money but if anyone is genuinely inter ested in getting a start give us a shout and well pass along the information We started out to discuss the Smokies pleasant junior win Thursday Your scribe and his chief clock stopper Don Robin son were seldom without com pany in Thursdays hard rocking affair It was a fast moving game Smokies definitely outhustled and outplayed Whit by and deserved the win After a three game trial its been definitely established now that flashy Bill Forhan will com plete the season with Fly ers It will certainly leave a big gap to be filled on the local ros ter Grant Morton also played one game with the looks ready for the high er company Newmarket and Aurora fans Will now have a big interest in the Flyers with whirling dervish Dan Patrick and Bill Forhan on the roster The majority of the fans feel Whitby Highlanders are the team destined to give the Smokies most trouble for group honors Mot this Now that seen all the clubs except Parry Sound Mid land on our books is the team to watch Sneaking about predictions we note brother has refused to gaze into his crystal hall Therefore to uphold the honor of the Era and Express crystal ball watchers union were going to take our turn at it this year that is of course on the condi tion that Down the Center will resume the chore next year As for the North York minors we see Hornets Aurora Lions and Newmarket Corner Cup boards as respectively juvenile midget bantam and champs We positively know Messrs Ken Doug Alcorn Bert Ron Bunting Ross arid Har old Stephenson will be gunning for us afters that tilt of guessing Also we look for Doug March- ants King City Nichols Flyers to cop an Ontario juv enile award Turning to doings we conquering Aurora in intermediate C Of course the tables could be turned if the Belairs get Don Gibson Al Smith Bill and Don lost Gibson via an Don suffered a painful elbow fracture in- a recent game We are pleased to hear Don is back home but unfortunately he wont be back in the game this I winter Its a touRh break for the and the popular sportsman Figuring the junior C race is tough Judging from the present standing the Smoke Rings should win in a walk However when the playoffs roll you can bet conditions will be different The locals will have to fight hard for every point So not to put the 100 percent hex on Messrs Gorman and Cain we will say either the Smokies or Midland will win the group crown We cant see a rosy report for Jack Robinson Harold Rogers and the Aurora Bears The Bears could make the playoffs and win the group but to do that there will have to be a decided change in the attitude of several players Right now a number figure theyre doing Robinson and company a favor playing for them while actually the shoe is on the other foot as Jack and his Bruin helpers are giving them an opportunity to play hockey Keswick Comets could be the surprise team of the rural We can see the Comets capturing the loop title Upstairs we see Canadiens win ning the Stanley Cup with the Leafs making the playoffs Turning to summer we the largest North York minor baseball circuit in history This year we believe one district team will cop an Ontario cham pionship It could be our New market juveniles In the Lake loop we would like Rockets to repeat and gals to do likewise We see Brooklyn and the Yanks in the World This time itll be the Yanks winning On the school level we look to George Kelly George Har low and the athletes to retain the trophy and the school on the hill to annex one district basketball and one football crown We also big track and field year with Pickering College and the dis trict school athletes breaking many records Our predictions we hope will come true We do hope to see a district soccer loop organized the swimming pool fund drive to go over the top third a North York intermediate baseball league fourth Newmarket Le gion to move into the Township league fifth to see our ladies win an other Ontario crown and the and district title to boot January School bells are ringing and everybody is glad to get back to school The Little and Optimist resume this week Rogers has offered a handsome trophy to the player voted the Aurora Bears most valuable We are pleased to report that all except one of the suspended players Wayne John Hopper Francis Garrett Mike Patrick Larry Sutton and Larry Woods have been reinstated They are now eligible to return to hockey wars John case will be dealt with shortly by the OMHA Not for our Minors Colly Bradford sportsman says Tell those Canal owners to get ready for next year Our new rink will be ready and well have a couple of minor teams that will knock the tar out of them Well see about that but it will be good to see Bradford back in the minor league swim Comets Defused By At The year didnt end on a glamorous note for Keswick Comets The Comets were hand ed an 115 trimming Friday at Keswick by The Comets couldnt stop Cannington one At the favorite rural teams in the first That period ended with the Com ets trailing and it was for the invaders after two rounds The Comets showed their best form in the final round 54 in a free- scoring period Doug Forfars threegoal performance ignited the Comets final period Dave Harvey and Ivan Rye were the other Comet lamplighters while Jack accounted for the Comets first chapter tally Im beating the drums again for Newmarket- Smokies who meet the fast improving Midland junior tonight in Canaltown Last week close to fans saw the Cain clan top Whitby Royals and take over the group leader ship and as Midland held the Newmarket team last game and since then have whipped Parry Sound it should be quite a battle Weve watched these Midland clubs in junior for nigh on five years in a row come from the bottom of the heap to the group finals and this years northern crew is getting better In Mas ter Charlie they have one of the best goalies in junior company The blue and white may be missing the popular Billy who has caught the eye of the Boston Bruins and Mons Hap Emms Billy has played two regular games and one exhibition contest and he looked right at home against Montreal and St Mikes It will be a bad blow for the club in one way as re placements are hard to find but it does give every player on the club a shot in the arm and all the district kids too for theres definitely a chance to move up to big time under the present setup Billy of course looks fair to equal the exploits of bro ther Bobby Grant Morton had a trial with Barrie last week and didnt look out of place Bob Wilson and Mike McCann are slated to have a chance too who hails from Thornton is coming along each game and so is Wilson Emms will replace if the rules will permit him to send a player Likely Ralph Bartoli an experienced A player now under suspension who could qualify as a bonus player to the Smokies may come if goes and he will be a favorite with the fans if he does The imperturbable Gorman is undisturbed by what might seem disaster if Forhan leaves Weve plenty of good kids right here who can do a good replacement job if they want to exert themselves says Mr On Monday night the club will take the jaunt to Parry Sound for a first time game with the Sounders On Friday it will be like Cus ters last stand for the Aurora Bears as Orangeville will provide the opposition for the cellar- dwelling Bruins Robbie may not have some of his players available as rumor has it that the Aurora minor organization will recall Barry Cook Wayne and Jim Lob law to the minor ranks where can stand assistance thought the lendlease poli cy was for the season but it may bo that since the Bears look as they are going no place right now championship pastures look more attractive We shall see what we shall see Incidentally in case youre in terested it is exactly eighteen years since Aurora and ville met as opposition in hock ey Can you recall that series when the two rivals met in the finals for the first junior C cham pionship in 1938 took the series

it will present some new faces to the crowd and perchance mean l to fame and I fortune for one or two Best of all says Desk Alcorn wont cost me anything for offi cials The Belairs will be concluding
