The Sports Clinic Here’s a drill that will teach the football player how to change dir- ection quickly, and with good bal- ance and agility. This is something that both the lineman and backfielders should practice. The ball carrier uses his ability to change direction when avoiding tacklers. The tackler must use it to get close to the runner. The lineman has to be able to cover lots of ground to line up his block. Although some are naturally more agile than others, and will learn the knack of changing dir- ection faster, everyone should de- velop the ability to its highest de- gree. Changing direction properly isn‘t something that just happens. It has to be learned. Many players can change direc- tion well one way, but not the oth- er. Consequently, they lose a large part of their effectiveness. Once their opponents get this weakness tabbed, they will know what to do when they meet this particular player. “Running the Eight” will teach you to go both ways if it’s practiced enough. This is how it's done: The player runs slowly in a circle, starting for example, by going to his left and coming back to the starting point. When he reaches this spot, he then circles to the right. When he re- turns to the starting point a second time, he has completed a figure that resembles an eight. Now, the player stops dead when he reaches the starting point, piv- ots completely around, and runs Iback over his original trahks. When he has campleted the eight this time, he again pivots, and re- peats. The action in running the eight should be much the same as cutting corners on skates. The inside knee should be well bent, and the body should lean in toward the center of the circle. By timing yourself during early workouts at this drill, and keeping a close check during following weeks, you can see just how fast you are improving. Time yourself running just the top half of the eight â€" that is, a circle. Run it five times; then turn around and run the same circle five times the other way. By comparing timeso you will be able to determine which way you change direction slowest, and will be able to work on this weakness. Run slowly until you get the hang of it. Then increase your speed. The objective is to run as small an eight as possible, as fast as possible. (An ofiicial department of Sports College) Conducted by Lloyd “Are” Percival RUNNING THE EIGHT A good way to work in the com- petitive angle is to run the eight with your teammates. Each play- er should run the same size eight, and by comparing times you can determine who has the most agility and speed, and who is improving fastest. You can take advantage of the many Sports College services by writing a letter to “Sports College, Box 99, Toronto 1, Ontario,” stat- ing that you wish to join. Mem- bership is free. Mention the news- paper in which you saw this col~ umn. Athletes will find the special Sports College literature, training newspaper and weekly Saturday afternoon radio sessions a wonder- ful training help. Famous ath- letes and coaches give inside tips on sports during the radio pro- gram. Look up the Station in your area and become a regular listener. The Thornlea Home and School Association meeting will be held at the school, Wednesday evening, October 10, at 8 pm. Dr. Tanner will be the guest speaker.

Rivers, Bayview Ave., on the arrival of another little girl, a sister for Susan and Clifford. While the Thornhill village school children had the thrill of seeing the old Stage Coach and the Indian runners depicting the centennial of the sale of postage stamps, Thornlea school children had the privilege of viewing the century old wood burning locomo- tive which went past the school last week, such a contrast with the new diesel locomotive was mentioned quite often by the pupils. Anyone who has something of interest is welcome to phone your correspondent to help our column along. School Children Thornlea has some very fine young ladies who take great pride in their love for horses, and take great pleasure in riding their mounts for honors. Last Satur- day Miss Beverley and Miss Teddy Rodgers of John St., entered their mounts in the Junior Flat Race, at the Eglinton Hunt Club, with Bev- erley on Fashion Parade, coming first and Teddy coming very close in second place on Patsy Pal. Both sisters make a nice picture with their horses, as was seen in the daily papers. They are daughters of Mr. and Mrs. L. E. R. Rodgers, John St. Winners Miss Myrtle Sider is spending a few days with Mrs. E. Jones this week. We wish to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Jack Gamble on the birth of a daughter last Saturday in New- market Hospital.

On October 22nd. to 25th. in- clusive, the Community Square Dancing Group of Richmond Hill, will be hosts at a Leadership Training Course in Folk Danti'ng at the Public School Auditorium. This course is under the spon- sorship of the Community Prog- rammes Branch of the Ontario Dept. of Education and will be open to delegates from the surr- ounding districts who are inter- ested in learning to instruct groups in their own communities. R. H. Square Dancing Group To Sponsor Training Course The Richmond Hill “Two-Bit Squares” Group originated from such an instruction course last Spring. and has grown with such enthusiastic vigor that they are unable to admit any more beginn- ers due to lack of space. How- ever, we are hopeful that the group from Richmond Hill who are attending this year’s course will Little Roy Diceman, age 8, who is suffering from polio and has been spending the past couple of weeks in an iron lung in Isolation Hospital, is now improving a little each day and is allowed to spend Mrs. Gordon Darling and two children returned home on Satur- day after spending two weeks at their cottage in Port Bruce on Lake Erie. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Harold Clapp on the birth of a daughter on September 26. Polio Victim The past month continued the heavy demand on the staff of the York County Health Unit, with considerable communicable disease visiting, and numerous sanitary problems throughout the Health Unit. Communicable Disease 14 Communicable Diseases Recorded A total of 14 cases of commun- icable diseases were reported and of these, 7 cases were poliomyelitis, While poliomyelitis actually does not create a major problem for the public, there is a general apprehen- sion and concern about this disease, out of proportion to the actual danger from illness or from par- alysis. For this reason it OCCUpies a great deal of the time of the staff of the Health Unit. There have been 4 active cases of Tuberculosis admitted to San- itarium during August. This un- usually high figure is partly the re- sult of recent mass Xâ€"ray surveys conducted throughout a part of the Health Unit area during past months. During August, the Pub- lic Health Nurses attended 5 chest clinics in the area. General Sanitation The tremendous and general problem throughout practically ev- ery community in the Health Unit concerning septic tanks, private sewage disposal, and other private waste disposal systems is taking a great deal of the time of the san- itary inspectors. It is becoming more and more apparent that ap- propriate local byâ€"laws or regula- tions must be written and put into effect in order to bring the waste disposal problem under control. Otherwise an already out-of hand situation may become not only a sanitary problem, but a tremendous financial load to local Municipal- ities at a later date. One of the most extensive fish- counting experiments in Chnada is the salmon population check being carried out on the Miramichi River in New Brunswick. The original fortifications of Old Quebec date back to 1608. CORRESPONDENT: Mrs. Raymond Stuart. R.

As' a recreational activity, square and folk dancing, offers unlimited possibilities for fun and relaxation. The old “knock ’em down drag em out’, howdown idea is gradually being replaced by a more streamlined version. Mod- ernsquare dancing shows more evidence of rhythm, grace & form and the “singing” calls are becom- ing more and more popular.. It is no longer a fight for survival of the fittest but rather an ex- pression of happiness set to liv- ely music. It is expected that the Instruction Course will be well attended and it would be ad- visable for anyone wishing to participate, to contoct Mr. W. E.
