On Saturday. June 16, at the Richmond Hill High School grounds, the District Public School championships will bring the best from the various schools in the area together in another outstanding test of athletic en- deavour. Championship Meets The club, a member of the Athletic Union of Canada, sponsored by the Richmond Hill Recreation Committee, is ably supervised by Ed. Butlin, athletic director of the com- mittee, and his enterprising assistants, Coaches Bill Bab- cock and Russ Snider, and the bright young editor of Teen Town, Don Large.

The Canadian National Exhi- bition track and field meet in August and September and the Richmond Hill second annual meet in September are other dates on which the club has set its sights. 2 Referees To Be In Ring WhenEnemyTeamsMeet But the ambitious program being promoted by the Richmond Hill District Track and Field Club for 1956 promises to provide the spark that will ignite a brighter glow. locally at least. Track and Field, one of the few remaining sports that has escaped the stigma of commercialism, a sphere where the highest laurels still go to the amateur, has come through some dark days in Canada.

Butlin, Babcock. Snider and Large are to be amply ful- filled. If the spirit and enthus- iasm of these young men and those who would back their cause, can be emulated in every corner of the land, and find practical expression in hard, con- scientious training, and clean living. then some day Canada’s Olympic torch may burn bright- er among the great athletic na- tions of the world. A dreah1 has been born in Richmond Hill, we should all see that it is never allowed to die. It is possible. too, that in the not too distant future, cross- country and road races. similiar to those in Guelph and Hamilton, will be given a chance to find a niche in the sporting whirl of this community. Support Needed Finland and Australia, both fewer in number than we, are inspiring examples of what the smaller states can do when the legs are strong and the heart is willing. The 'road to Olympic glory is long and hard, and can never be certain, but the Zato- peks, the Landys and the Banni- sters come from the little towns of their respective homelands. Both teams are training hard for this one and both figure on winning. It will be very interest- ing to see what kind of ring tac- tics will be used by the Hamlton pair with two referees to watch them. but no doubt they'll figure out something to use to their advanage. Another Team Match Another team match has been added to the card because the Von Sieber vs Mangotlch bout was dropped and will see the Jennings brothers, Wilf and Frank, going against the ever- popular Teddy Turner, ldcal mat- man and clever Eddie Edwards, who made such a hit on last week's card.
