Officers Ufiionville Hockey ClubElects Officers For Next Season Cam Webb proposed a slate of officers and directors for the coming season: President Sher- man Petfit; secretary Dr. Glen Kennedy; treasurer Arthur Too- good: directors H. Holdsworth, W. Mason. B. Gayman, C. Cuth- bertson, D. Findlay. J. J. Hanna, D. D. Strickland. G. Nighswan- der, M. Smith. This slate receiv- ed the unanimous support of the meeting. s Dr. Kennedy. seconded by Mr. Cuthbertson, proposed a special vote of thanks to Mr.‘ Toogood for his unflagging efforts which have contributed so much to the success of the past season. The president called on Grant Nighswander to address the meeting with regard to next year's activities. Mr. Nighswan- der made reference to a co-ordinâ€" ated system of coaching. the ear- ly formation of inter-house lea- gues. sportsmanship, and the value of various drills and exer- cises to develop technique and avoid waste of time. Many of his suggestions will be incorporated EFFECTS OF NEW SKILL 0N OLD ONE Now that spring training is just around the corner and every enthusiastic athlete is trying to get the jump on the other fellow the problems 0f learning and getting used to new techniques ancl skills comes up. 1-H _. unvu vv nun vva-A "v- The great Knute Rockne, one of the outstanding coaches of all time and coach of a series of highly fearâ€" ed Notre Dame football teams, during one of his equal- ly famous clinics was asked to name what he considered the most important fundamental of success. His an- swer, which follows, should be. well remembered by any athlete. “When a new idea or system is tried the athâ€" lete usually feels awkward and loses some of his skill at first and also some of his interest. The wise coach will sell the athlete on the idea that after this tempor- ary period of impaired skill a new .peak of efficiency will be reached.” u an "V a yu--.-,_ Also remember that the time it takes to acquire this new skill or technique depends on the attention and effort the athlete gives to its practice and the confidence in his coach â€" realizing that he knows what he‘s talking about. REPORT FROM PAN-AMERICAN GAMES Reports from‘the Pan-American Games show that tea is very popular with trainers and athletes. It is be- ing used before and after workouts and competitions as an energy jack-up and recovery aid. They are using clear, cool, strong tea sweetened with honey and take _4 to 6 ounces at a time. DON’T CARRY AROUND EXCESS WEIGHT When an athlete is preparing for the spring season and is overweight he often thinks he can “run off" his excess weight. To lose one pound of fat it takes 45 miles of easy jogging, 5,700 continuous push-ups or, last but not least four and seven-eights hours running at ten miles per hour. The best way to handle this problem is to exercise your self-control and eat sensibly.

Ridges Juveniles Still In N.Y. Series Things looked very black for Oak Ridges Juveniles on March 15, in the first game of the 2 out of 3 semi-final of the North York series, when with five min- utes to go Beeton playing on their own ice were leading 7â€"4 against Oak Ridges. But through the efforts of Doug Hollinshead. who scored one goal and Bob Woolley scoring twice in the last few minutes. the score was brought to a 7-7 tie. Prior, Bo Woolley had scored once as dl Doug. Hollinshead, Brian Scott and Jim Wells. The return match was played .at Noblcton March 17. when Beeton defeated Oak Ridges 3-2. Jim Wells scored both goals. Oak Ridges Pioneer Juveniles have protested both games and Beeton had to for- felt the last game and may also lose the advantage of the tie game_ for _using _illeg’al players. If Oak Ridges wins or even ties the game to be played March 24 at Beeton at Nobleton, they will have won the series.

Sims March 17 IWater Chestnut Often Ruins ‘Fishing, Boating & Swimming The Fish and Wildlife Divis- ion of the Department of Lands 8: Forests has drawn attention to the possibility of isolated or scattered plants of the water chestnut occurring in Ontario. This plant is an aquatic weed which can and may ruin hunt- ing. fishing .boating and swim- ming areas should it gain access to Ontario waters and become established. Aquatic Plant This species is an aquatic an- nual plant, which reproduces each yeanfrom barbed nut-like seeds prodoced the previous year. Each viable seed is capable of producing a cord-like stem from 6" to 15’ long. Each stem sup- ports one or more rosettes of leaves which float on the surface of the water being buoyed up by the bladder-like growth in the stems of the outer leaves. The rosettes generally appear on the water surface during May or early June and the plant dies in the autumn of the same year. The water chestnut leaves are a glossy green on the upper sur- face and a hairy’light green on the lower surface. Small white flowers appear generally during July and each flower may devel- op into a barbed nut which changes from green to black in colour and is capable of germin- ation the following year. Native of Europe The plant is not native to Canâ€" ada or United States. reportedly having been introduced from Red Garner And Turkish Powerhouse Renew Feud It looks like the renewal of an old feud next Tuesday, March 29, when Hassan Bey, the Turk- ish powerhouse, tangles with Red Garner at Thornhill Mark- et. These two men wrestled six times with one another last sea- son. each winning three matches. The climax to these bouts came when each bet $100.00 on the match. Bud Jones held the stakes and afterwards presented $200.00 extra to the Turk who defeated Garner that night, How- ever, the way the veteran grap- pler is going right now it looks as if Mr. Bey is going to be in for a very rough evening indeed. At any rate the fans are sure of a very exciting night‘s entertain- ment when these two collide. Mr. X, the mystery wrestler, will endeavour to run his win- ning streak to four at the ex- pense of tough Jack Flicker of Aurora. Jack lost a very close one to A1 Orlando last show but says he was the victim of a fast count. This match with Mr. X will give him a chance to get on Tarzan of Richmond. 3 Ger- man Shepherd, owned by Mrs. J. Probert, Richmond St., Richmond Hill, took a first in the Novice Dogs Class at the Sportsmen’s Show.’ Dog Fanciers Take Prizes Tarzan was first shown at the Progressive Kennel Club of Canada All Breed Sanction Show on March 7 in Toronto‘ where he took three firsts, as the Best Ger- man Shepherd, Best Senior Pup- py and Best Canadian Bred of all breeds entered.

It first made its ap- pearance in New York State in Collins Lake. Scotia, in 1884. Since then it has spread down- stream and is now firmly estab- lished in the Mohawk and Hud- son Rivers from Scotia to Peek- skill where an estimated 2600 acres are covered with this growth. The undesirable feat- ure of this plant pest far out- weigh any value it may possess. The nature of its dense, tangled growth is the chief factor con- tributing to its undesirability. In areas where this plant is es- tablished. fishing. boating and swimming are impossible. water flow is impeded which promotes silting, stagnation and the breed- ing of mosquitoes. At the same time valuable food plants for waterfowl and other wildlife ‘are crowded out or prevented from becoming established. Large quantities of the barbed nut-like seeds are also produced annual- ly which tend to wash up on beaches. Stepping or sitting upon these barbed nuts usually results in a very painful wound. The Department's field staff has been requested to report any known or suspected occur- ence of the water chestnut in Ontario and similar information from any others would be very much appreciated also. SCARBORO : A 900-home $12.- 000.000 subdivision is being planned on land just east of Scarboro's Golden Mile‘ a winning streak again.

Age And Experience Triumph Over Youth Age and experience triumph- ed over youth last Tuesday at the ThornhillsMarket as the vet- eran Red Garner came from be- hind to take the third and decid- ing fall from Jack Diamond. What a match that was with first one grappler and then the other having the advantage. At one point Diamond had Gar- er bouncing from the ring to the floor like a rubber ball. Garner sunvived however and floored Diamond with a series of judo chops and never looked better. This trip he looked like the Garner of old.

The hound had been allowed to run at large in an area inhabited by deer and finally was caught in the act of molesting one. The following sections from the Game and Fisheries Act. define the reguâ€" lations which apply. Section 33 (3) “No person owning, harbour- ing or claiming to own a dog shall allow it to run at large during the closed season for deer in a locality in which deer, moose or caribou usually inhab- it or in which they are usually found. R80. 1950, chapt. 153." Section 33 (4) “A dog found running deer. moose or caribou during the closed season for deer in that locality shall be deemed to be at large with the leave of the own- er and may be killed on sight by an officer without being 11- able for damages to any other person or to penalty. R. S. 1950, Chapter 153.” Owners of hunting dogs that have an inclination to run deer, do not appear to realize that the above Section of the Game and Fisheries Act applies equally to Southern Ontario as in Northern Ontario. All Townships in the Lake Simcoe District have been de- clared as closed seaSon for deer hunting by Regulations. There‘ fore they are closed until such time as an open season is de- clared by Order-inâ€"Council. A Conservation Officer may lay charges of allowing a dog to run at large in closed season if it is deemed necessary to do so. Although these cases are few, it is found that measures must be taken from time to time to re- strict dogs that are running deei- when harm is being done. is in good shape for next week. then look out Sullivan. Bendetto Lima made a terrific hit as he downed Cal Cosburn who was no slouch himself. Both these boys will be welcomed back at any time. Mr. X contin- ued his winning ways but was very lucky to eke out a win over Ron Osborne and Jackie Deal the Rockalite Kid came through with a nice win over Ted Turn- er. This boy Deal looks like a real prospect and should develop into a top flight mat star in the future. FUEL OIL STAN ROOTS KING 178
