10 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, November 19, 1959 ~_â€"â€"__â€"_â€"_â€"â€"_____â€"_â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"_,â€"â€" 4» SPORT SPOTS o by Ron Craine Mr. John A. Munroe, father of Trackster_Marian Munroe, has donated a trophy to Richmond Hill High School. The trophy, to be known as the John A. Munroe Trophy, was made by Mr. Munroe and the engraving on the trophy is also his handiwork. . The award is to be made to the young lady adjudged to be the most outstanding athlete at Richmond Hill High School and the trophy will be formally presented to the school at the athletic assembly in the Spring. The trophy is being donated by Mr. Munroe to encour- age girls’ athletics and also as a token of appreciation of the many pleasant things that have happened to the Munroe Clan in their associ â€" SPORT ation with the school. SPOTS â€" Seems as though once you get launched on the sub- ject of trophies and athletic awards it becomes difficult to break away. Another trophy for competition is sadly needed for high school soccer competition. The word “another” is probably an ex tremely bad choice of word as there just isn’t any sort of soccer trophy at the pres- ent time. The Richmond Hi1 Team just concluded an unb I High School Junior Soccer eaten season and scored 83 goals against any and all opposition while yielding only 1 three goals to opponents. There certainly is high in- terest in soccer at the school and a trophy would not be amiss for annual competition. If you’d like your name to be carried on a trophy or would merely like to en- courage kids why not contact the local school board? â€"â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" Stan. Thornington, good Richvale baseball player and umpire baiter par excellence has joined the ranks of law and order and is now refereeing games in the Little N.H.L. series. or rather in the Richmond Hill Hockey Association Minor League set-up. “Stosh” could get an umpire’s dander up without half trying and it will be interesting to see if his sojourn as an official will change his own approach to oificialdom in a blue shirt and spikes. All kidding aside, Stan and many others like him are doing a good job for the youngsters and giving up a lot of time to do it. It may interest you to know that in these days Of crass commercialism ALL officers and officials of the R.H.H.A. work for nothing and even manage to spend a to boot. -â€" SPORT fair bit of their own money SPOTS -- Last Thursday morning at the unearthly hour of 6 a.m., yours truly drove No. I Son to a practice at the Arena.

The liniment index on the market quotations took a big jump as these kids handed me bruise on top of bruise. â€" Who was the cha to your son ?” This boy had racter who said, “Be a pal nine daughters and didn’t know from whence he spoke. Ask me next week when â€" these lumps have gone down â€" I’ll probably accept the job again. .â€" LITTLES OFF TO FLYING START Little Fords downed Champs Birrells Chevs 2-0 last Friday night to put them on a two game winning streak. Pal Greenfield mm... JM flocéeg olizagu-e losing cause. Both teams played short handed because of a tea party put on by one of the local belles. Standings of teams in the Minor Hockey League to date. with ,the teams in all leagues be- ing fairly closely bunched. The one thing missing at most games is parents. When your boy is play- ing how about coming along and cheering on his team's effort. SH Ol'td Athletic Night, sponsored by the Boys' Athletic Society, was a success both as an entertainment and at the box office with a pro- fit of roughly $65.00 going into the books. To start proceedings the Won- der Five locked horns with the Senior Basketball Team and de- feated them 48-44. Prior to the game the seniors had oflered to spot the five 20 points, but at the end of the third quarter, the Wonder Five were in the lead and waived the 20 point margin. This is the first time in at least eight years that the staff members have won against the school team. Tony Berry, 3 Richmond Hill old boy, handled the refereeing chore and kept the game under control at all times. The Wonder Five played rug- ged, aggressivebasketball as 14 fouls were called against them while the seniors committed only two fouls. Could it be that the OLD men have more desire than the younger team? All members of the senior team saw action in this game and ac- quitted themselves well. The Op- position was loaded as Jim Har- rison was on a Canadian Univer- sity National Championship Team and Mr. Babcock and others are no slouches either. The wrestling bout between Barry Hopper and Wayne Rich- Well/5 ardson had to be called off as Barry was cut in the scalp in the afternoon and is now wearing stitches. The Masked Marvel sub- stituted for Barry Hopper and defeated Wayne Richardson with a hip toss and body press at 9.56 of the bout. That Masked Marvel looked a lot like Mr. Bill Bab- eock and it was good of him to fill in on such short notice. A team from the men’s phys. ed class played an exhibition volleyball game against a team picked from the phys. ed. class at the school. After a fierce tussle the men emerged on top with a 16-14 score. The high school boys gave a good account of them- selves and the older team was forced to the limit for the win. Twenty candidates for the Mid- get basketball team gave an ex- hibition of basketball and were coached by Doug Madill and Bob Lake. Midgets are under 15 years of age but two team hopefuls go over the six foot mark, one boy being six feet, one inch while an- other hits six feet, three inches. Some midgets! These athletic nights are open to public admission and there will be four more nights during the current school year. A good even- ing’s entertainment is guaranteed and the money goes tO a good cause. Hockey Results Weelc Ending November I4tl1‘ Action has been fast and fur~ ions in all three minor leagues The kids really enjoy parental interest in their hockey endea- vours and the game played may not be the most scientific in the world but it surely is an enthus- iastic one.

Jansen and Peter Crack turned in stellar performances for a Tennis Court: Project Is Apparently Delayed It seems unlikely that Rich- mond Hill will have any Munic- ipal tennis courts available for use during the coming year. Land was to be purchased by the town, from householders on the south side of Centre St., West of the Lawn Bowling Club, and ap- parently, verbal agreements were arrived at, but the deals as such were never completed. The hope was that work would be started on the courts this winter and that they would be available for play eari' in the summer. With no land yet pur- chased and elections in the offing it would seem that any plan will be postponed until too late for any action to be taken to pro- vide facilities for next year’s play. A group of some fifty citizens indicated their willingness to pay a ten dollar fee each to have WRESTLING THORNHILL MARKET TUES., NOV. 24 GORI Mangotich VS WILDCAT OSBORNE PLUS AN ALL STAR CARD made available tennis courts in the town. These citizens signed their name to a petition which was presented to the Recreation Commission on Friday last. As it now stands the Recreation Com- mission has no land available to them on which tennis courts could be built. There were municipal tennis courts on the site of what is now the new Richmond Hill Library, but the courts were allowed to fall into a state of disrepair, and were finally demolished as the ground was broken for the new library. The reason given for the destruction of the courts was a lack of interest in tennis on the part of Richmond Hill’s citi- zens. it now appears that interest in the sport is very high indeed and surely what council taketh away, council should also giveth. There were fifty names on the petition for the tennis courts but from all indications another fifty would easily be forthcoming and produced if necessary. It is the earnest hope of all the petition- ers that the lack of site problem can be taken care of at an early opportunity and that somehow or other tennis WILL be on the agenda for next year.

AornAi/f .Saorld Walled Thornhill 2, Orillia 0 Thornhill's Junior Football Team defeated Orillia in Orillia to win the Georgian Bay Cham- pionship. The game was played under very adverse conditions as rain. snow, wind and mud all combined to make play as diffi- cult as possible. Thornhill had a tremendous advantage during the first half but a combination of bad breaks and missed blocks kept them off the score sheet but for the two singles kicked by Bob Howes in the second quarter. The Orillia team came to life after the half and made things hot for the Thornhill team who had to fight desperately to make the two points hold up until the end of the game. This Saturday at 2 pm. the Thornhill team will be playing on their own field against either Trenton or Peterborough for the C.O.S.S.A. Championship. The game should be a good one so if you can get to Thornhill High School grounds on Saturday. you'll see real amateur football teams in action with both sides giving it the big, big try. a t a: a Quinte Secondary School 19, Thornhill Seniors 1 On a miserable, cold, rain- swept field, the Thornhill Senior Team went down to defeat for the first time this year. Until this game the Thornhill Seniors were unbeaten and unscored upon but a good football team and the el- ements combined not only to score on them but to outscore them. The Thornhill team had a 1-0 lead at half time, but the contin- ual soaking, dropping tempera- ture and high winds took their toll as the players were so cold and shaky that the glue that has held the team together just came unstuck. The Quinte team seem- ed to be just a little better pre- pared for the cold conditions and carried on to win the game. Clifl' Nuttall was moved from end to a half-back position as Brian McGee was out of action with an ankle injury. Cliff per- formed competently at his half position and was injured by some piling on after having been tack- led. Clii‘f was taken to Belleville Hospital where X-rays indicated that his back was not injured as at first feared and that he was suffering a slight concussion. Nuttall was kept in hospital ov- ernight but returned home on Sunday. 1! a 4x a The school’s hopes now ride on the Junior squad so, you stud- ents, don't forget to go out and holler for your favorite team this i Saturday.

November 24 at Thorn- hill Market. These two men are enemies from away back and will charge at each other in a two out of three falls match with a 60 min. time limit match. Both are fast and clever, with Osborne having an edge in the speed dept. and Mangotich having about a 12 lb. advantage in weight. The fans feel that The Wildcats speed will more than offset the heavier advantage of the Slav. Now Mangotich has made the boast and there is no wrestler in Canada at 190 lbs. or less, that can beat him. but we are of the opinion that Osborne's speed and agility will be more than enough to get the nod over the surly Slav. Billy Foster Canadian champ- ion will be On the card against an opponent yet to be named as will Wolf Jennings. Sudbury ace. Freddy Labelle popular French Canadian star has asked for a match with the stary Jennings but as yet nothing has been set- tled. Also seeking a place on this card will be Hans De Groot giant dutchman who spread Cow- boy Sulivan last time out in less than ten min. If Gori Mangotich continues to mow down the op- position and gets past Wild Cat Osborne this week, matchmaker Joe Greenfield will attempt to get Roger Vallee here for him in the near future.
