equipment stouffviile clippers ran into double trouble on saturday night while it was enough to be beaten in their current game with mid land it was laying it on pretty thick when some sneak thief or thieves lifted about a hundred dollars worth of hockey equipment from the lock box in one of the dressing rooms the equipment included sticks some of them new and goalie equipment whoever made the snatch was able to handle the lock on the box as it had been opened and closed but not broken clippers eke out 65 win over woodbridge playing an exhibition game here on monday night stouffville clippers eked out a 05 win over the woodbridge intermediate v squad the home club was not impressive for two periods but flashed a little of their capable form in the last twenty minutes the game was close with neither team gaining more than a goal lead over the other at any time tap- scott was in goal for stouirville for the first time and displayed good form despite two slap shots which got by him the clippers added ken laush- way to their lineup for the game in an effort to get a few more shots on the net but stouffvilles goal- hungry front lines were not inclined to throw many passes around in his direction whether or not the local seniors can shake off their losing streak this wednesday is yet to be seen theyve collected but one point out of a possible twelve in their last six starts and now face the revital ized eclipse ac and then a home and home series with collingwood midgets run wild over aurora gtfctf stouffville midgets ran impressive 103 score over on monday night in scheduled omha meeting up an aurora their here in sports writer ab hulse of the newmarket era made an oftspoken comment in his column in the current issue regarding the make up of local hockey clubs and one in which we concur while teams in this north york area are guilty to possibly a lesser degree the championship fever and profes sionalism is nevertheless showing itself mr hulse writes as follows now you have to go to the bush leagues the minor hockey leagues and of course the tiil for the kind of inner satisfaction that saw your own neighbors kids and the guys youd known for years battle with the best of them and go down with colors flying saying wait till next year or win through to a victory that kept the whole burg talking for years to come as a spectacle hockey is great to watch but why you follow a team of practically strangers all over the country simply because they vvesr sweaters that signifies they come from your hometown will always be one of those mysteries of life we exclude the four metro teams he hawks and most of the junior entries in the local group as well is stouffville and markham of the resent day from this line of easoning ha xtams sh utout ixioxvillk kids stouffville bantams scored a shutout against unionville 30 on monday night in the opener of the fourgame hockey night which saw the entire four local teams in action and also saw them come up with three wins and a tie sharpie dunkeld performed the hat trick for the stouffville minors aided by barkey and mcdowell there were six penal ties in the game as the pintsize performers went at it with every thing they had and hammered each other at every opportunity red color scheme for hockey sticks it was dick irvin and not joe stalin who came up with that red color scheme for hockey sticks when coach irvins montreal canadians invaded toronto for a xational hockey league game with toronto leafs the 11000 fans thought they were seeing things several canadian forwards and defenseman ken reardon carnal sticks with redcolored tape on the blades it was the kind of tape ordinarily used for binding parcel- as the game went on the tape was found too slippery and it wore through too easily so the boys went back to sticks with the usual heavy black stape my idea is that a distinctive color on the stick makes it easier for players to spot their teammat in power plays scrambles and passing said irvin the fellow dont have to look up the idea so far as canadians club is concerned was by no means a flop general manager frank selke now has a tape chemist working not only on the suggestion of heavy durable red tape but also finding an extremely lightweight ineradicable paint that will grace the sticks in the french- canadians clubs colors blue- blancrouge canadians players generally thought the redcoloured blade okay one mild dissenter defence- man butch bouchard i got a little dizzy looking at them a t f jim thomas after outskatiiig outshootin and outplaying the flyers to the tune of 31 in the first period the clippers literally fell apart as midland blasted seven successive goals in the second and third periods without a single reply from the homesters once losing the lead the clippers became completely disorganized and resorted wholly to solo rushes in order to get back in the game this failed to work as the defence and forwards took out each player in turn the boys couldnt hold their position and allowed the unprotected forwards io race in unmolested on the unprotected warriner couch and sayliss lost chance after chance by failing to pass the puck and hogged the rubber until they eventually lost it stouffville after the first period was outshot by the flyers as the clippers are determined to hike into the corner with the puck nearly every time they get in over the opposition blue line and for the most part fail to even got a shot away the forward lines of the home sters were considerably shaken up with mills moved up from his regular defence position to left wing gord lewis always a scoring threat around the enemy net was out with a sprained back and was missed pleny by his wingmen couch and thomas two new although familiar figures skated before the local crowd for the first time on satur day night in the persons of kick paisley and jack warriner paisley held down a defence position while warriner guarded the twine in place of mulholland mills who has been moved for ward is threatened with a benching unless he gets the chip off hi shoulder and refrains from his senseless brawling lie wound up with penalties both saturday and monday which were inexcusable in the first period the clippers gave signs that they would run up a one sided score as hopper by far the best man for the homesters tallied at the twentyfive second mark from rose at g15 sayliss filed in goal number two from clarke as the clippers played real offensive hockey midland broke the ice at midway mark of the period as st amant beat warriner with a low shot to the corner at 1110 jackie thomas scored the homesters final goal to end the period with the clippers lead ing 31 as the second period opened midland tied the score at 810 and forged ahead on goals by des- champ and st amant the final frame was a combina tion of the second as the flyers added three more to sew things stouffville the local lads displayed some real combination prowess their playmaking was nice to watch and will stand them in good stead should they carry this group and hit the ontario playoff trail joe lewis bud lehman harper and forgio each scored twice procenko and lintner getting singles bunt lewis and bud leh man also came in for a pair of assists knowles was auroras lone marksman and scored all three of his teams goals millionaires open aurora arena with 75 victory over eclipse jim thomas aurora hockey enthusiasts and rink supporters turned out in full force to pack their new arena to the rafters on saturday night it was a sight similar to the one witnessed here a few weeks ago as the ribbon was cut and figure skaters put on the prehockcy entertainment as for the hockey game itself eclipse started very fast and in less than a minute jarvis had fired two goals past stundeh not stopping at this they hammered in two more to the millionaires one tally to give them a 11 lead near- ing the half way mark in the game from that point on markham bore in and pumped home two counters before the end of the second period as the final frame got underway the millionaires staged their familiar third period rally and netted four goals to the knights one marker brennan and bell were the big guns for the winners with two goals apiece while jewitt watson and g scott each netted singles the game was cleanly played with only three penalties being handed out ecclestone of eclipse served time on all three occasions the eclipse club seems to be steadily improving and although deep in the cellar may put up a real battle when play off time rolls around

popcorn at the maple leaf stadium last season intimation by clarence camp bell president of the national hockey league that the rules of professional hockey will be chang ed so that teams will not be able to sign a boy until he becomes 17 or 18 years of age is a step towards solving the evils of that sport owners of professional hockey teams or their representatives will never have the complete confidence of the public as long as they refuse to wipe out that evil c form con tract or are able to claim a player as their property without the boy entering into any agreement or contract with the club involved publicity given the onesided c form is no doubt the main reason why the pros are considering increasing the age limit from 16 to 17 or 18 before they can sign a boy the stories that appeared in the press concerning the way young sters were grabbed off by the teams did hockey a tremendous harm many sports editors deserve credit for making the pros see the light it was their incessant harp ing on the subject that made sport writers in the big cities and the public at large suddenly sit up and take notice that a change in- the rules was definitely in order even if the pros decide that a playef must be 18 years of age before they can dicker with him and it shouldnt be any lower than 18 we believe that his parents or a guardian should also sign all contracts after all a boy of 18 is still regarded as a minor and he certainly should be guided by someone who has his interest at heart ifthe age limit is set at is itll be a great help to junior a teams as it is now those teams have a hard time finding a good player above 16 who hasnt been grabbed by a pro club if players are still loose at 18 it means therell be a better supply and above all a drop in the amount of money the teams are forced to pay the majority of these untried youngsters 24 calf meal 1 14 calf club mm starter y 13 dry fe fresh ening ration ffl 16 lairy ration 24 dairy supplement up it just
