18 LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thur Richmond Hill Redmen, the local O.B.A. entry have been searching for a coach and, as usually happens, found one on their own doorstep. Bruce Murray, unsuccessful council candidate this year in Richmond Hill, is a big, big boy, who has played on Dominion Championship teams and done some coaching with fair success, has made contact with the Redmen and everyone is happy. It may be a little late this year, but next year should tell a. different story. .l'l‘alllllv A I u ; l A A n u u n n n v A V A]. White, proprietor of Al’s Cycle and Sport has donated a trophy to be presented to the leading scorer of the league while Vern.

On Tuesday, December 22nd, an all star team picked from the leading players in the Richmond Hill Senior League will play Ken Avarells Woodbridge Dodgers, highly touted Junior “B” Team, now playing in the Metro League.

All games are played on Tuesday nights at Richmond Hill Arena where for the small sum of 25c you can see two spirited hockey games and also win some good door prizes.

Atkin- son scored with Pipher and Rush- low assisting and then switched around as Rushlow scored from Pipher and Atkinson. Only eight players plus an ex- tra goal tender showed up for the game as a dance at Thornhill High School proved too big an attrac- tion for a lot of would-be hockey players. The boys that did turn out for the game all had to 'do double duty and how well they performed is shown by their win over a fully manned club. Friday. December 11 â€" R. H. Juveniles 6, Alliston 3 Bobby King came up with the hat trick for Wic Mills’ Juveniles as he scored one an of his team’s goals. Brian Atkinson picked up an assist on King’s first goal while Bob scored the second goal on a solo efiort. Pal Greenfield was given an assist on King's third goa . A badly outclassed and out- manned Queensville team suffer- ed a humiliating defeat by a team that had every advantagé on its side. There is as yet no ice avail- able in Queensville and practice sessions just aren’t available to the team. Equipment is also a major problem as they have no sponsor to pick up the tab for them. Most of the players on the team are still eligible for midget competition and the old saw of sending a boy to do a man’s work still applies. The lead went back and forth in the last half and the score was tied forty-one all with thirty five seconds to go. Uni- corns gained possession of the ball and proceeded to play out Monday. December 14 â€"- .. R. H. Juveniles 20, Queensville Wick Mills directed his own team from the bench, as Doc. At- kinson was unable to attend the game, and saw his cats get some big fat scoring points. Brian Atkinson potted four goals and picked up'four assists as line mate Jim Rushlow got three goals and four assists. The third member of the high scoring trio, Gord. Pipher hit for two goals and three assists. Bobby King scored two goals and picked up two assists and John Lightfoot banged in two goals and picked up one assist. Scoring averages were really juicy after the smoke had settled. Richmond Hill Redmen had a twelve to four lead at the end of the quarter while at the half the Port Credit squad enjoyed a twentyfimxr to twenty-three lead. The Port Credit Unicorns lit- erally pulled the win ut of the fire in the final seco d of play. The basketball played. was a free wheeling game, with one team going ahead only to have the other team cash the equal- It won’t always be this easy as Queensville are obviously over- matched in the juvenile ranks and other teams in the league provide really rugged opposition. For the sake of the‘team it is to be hoped that no more school dances are allowed to conflict with the hockey schedule. izer‘ The Richmond Hill Bantam team were ‘handed their first de- feat of the yoimg season by a hungry Newmarket team. The Newmarket players. outskated, outshot and out-manoeuvered the local club and virtually kept them handcuffed. Unicorns 42 " Richmond Hill Redmen 41 Newmarket 6 - R. H. Bantams 1 Tuesday, December 15 â€" 1st Game -â€" Craigies 8, Allencourt Centre 3 Craigies led by Stan Thorning- ton’s three goals defeated Allen- court to move into undisputed possession of first place. Allen- courts, in a mid-season slump, lost their second straight game as they were outfought for the puck in almost every skirmish. Dave McGuey. Gord Ecclestone and Jefi Jones scored the others for the winners. All their players seemed to be moving at full speed. For the losers, goal ten- der Don McMillan played an out- standing game, and without his tremendous play, the score would have been in double figures. Matt Kinnari, Norm Roberts and Moe Williamson scored for the out- hustled losers. 2nd Game -â€" Pops Restaurant 5, Stephenson’s 5 IQ JJJ/ Pops fought back from a four to two deficit to tie with Steph- ensons. The way these two im- proved teams played show how well balanced the league is. No team in the league has any de- finite edge over the other teams as happened earlier in the season. Graham Chapman was the top man for Stephensons with three goals and an assist. Tom Byberg and Duke Knox scored the oth- ers. Jim Stunden and Jim Neal scored two each for Pops. Dalt Hicks scored the other. Thé only bright spots in the 'ercanlil/e For two periods last Thursday night 'the Richmond Hill midget Blueliners looked like a big lea- gue outfit, as they played clean fast hockey and then blew a 3 to 0 lead to wind up with a tie, and they were lucky to get that. For the first two periods as stated above they played well with all three lines backcheck- like fiends, they tied the powerful Newmarket up in their own end time after time and gave goalie Don Laurie a shut out up until the end of the second stanza. Coac'h Red Garner put Davey Sims in the' net and the roof fell in. Newmarket scored three goals in less than 3 min- utes to tie it up and were pres- sing hard at the closing whistle. .In all fairness to Sims he had no chance on a couple of the shots, and the team let down at the end. Scorers for Richmond Hill Were as follows, Jim Briden from Hooper, Johnny Grieves from Denny Richardson, and Richard- son from Tom Reynolds. For Newmarket Mike Walton turned the hat trick with three quick ones in almost as many min- utes. With regulation time already run out the first foul shot was taken and missed. While silence reigned and hearts beat faster the Unicorn shooter lined-up- shot-and .scored the one point needed to win the game. Sort of 3 Frank Merriwell finish. High scorers for the game were Clvark Dedlow of the Red- men with seventeen points while the Unicorn high scorers were Whitehead ‘with fifteen and Hrynewich With twenty-one. game for the Richmond Hill Ban- tams were the outstanding defen- sive work of Mike Howard and the aggressive play of forward Jackie Dubkowski. For the best part of the game, Richmond Hill was completely outclassed,in all departments, and seemed to flounder helplessly at ‘times. A shake-up practice was held on Sunday morning and five play- ers were cut from the Bantam roster. Only 12 players will be carried. Two complete forward lines, three defence players, a goalkeeper and two alternates. Coaches Jimmy Pollard and Les. Markle are attempting to separ- ate the hockey players from the group and produce a winning combination. the clock. With five seconds to go Unicorns shot for the basket and missed. Everyone went up for the rebound which was re- covered by the Unicorns. The referee ruled a foul against the Redmen and awarded the fouled Unicorn two free shots. Blueliners 3 Newmarket 3 Richmond Hill’s Blueliners sponsored by Ted Terry of the Blueline hockey laces, tore into the Unionville midget team last Friday at the Crosby Memorial arena and shredded them \piece by piece. The Unionville club help up for only one period and then “Fireball” Bruce Walker slapped ii- the first one on an assist ‘by Rod Kelson and follow- ed it by two more, to bring his total to three. Then Jim Briden popped one in with big “Moose” Ted Tomlin drilling one in from the point, and to round out the score for the locals Paul Rey- nolds got a nice one on assist from lankey Ian Ross. The blue- liners played well all round, with the defense headed by Rit- chie Elliott and Paul Hackett turning back the discouraged Unionville outfit time after time. Don Laurie played heads up hockey in the net for the Hill team and got his first shut out of the young season.

Those two ring generals Gori Mangotich and Billy Foster have teamed up to take on Aledo Orlando, who recently regained the middle- weight title and Wildcat Osborne of Willowd-ale. Here we have four of the top lighter weight grapp- lers to test each other in a two out of three falls or 60 minute time limit match. Orlando and Mangotich well known to the fans had a johnny go last week and they can start right in again this Tuesday along with their respective partners who also have no love for one another. Foster and Orlando are bitter enemies and although the Slav Mangotich has no bitter feelings about either'Osborne or the It- alian wrestler he will be try- ing just as hard as the rugged Foster to come out on top.

The Maroons need help from the league to‘ strengthen this weak club adding some new blood. PEE WEE HOCKEY The Peewee team played two exhibition games last week and won them both. The early exhibi- tion games played against really stiff opposition seem to have help- ed to mold the club into a really good winning aggregation. _ The Peewees invaded Union- ville and came home with a win by downing the Unionvflle team 4-2. They played host to Aurora in the local arena and defeated the visitors 5-2. The big production line for the Peewees is centered by Scott Shepherd with Gary Charity on right wing and John Bookalam at left. This line produced six goals in two games as centreman Shep- herd set his wing mates up per- fectly on some well executed plays. Regular scheduled play gets under way this week with the local team going against Brad- ford at Richmond Hill Arena to- night. Game time is 7:45 pm. and the game promises to be a good one. “Wimbridge Lead League” Last Monday night saw the Wimbridge crew win handily ov- er the ABC squad 5 to 1. Goal getters for the cleaners were Bob Brown with 2, and singles for John Smith, Dave Day and Doug Jamieson. The lone tally for ABC was Dennis Hiltz: A _ In the second game Littles Fords fought a 2 goal deficit to squeeze out a 2 all tie.

In an interesting semi-final Grant Wylder erstwhile referee will tackle flashy Freddy Labelle again. These two boys had a sensational match a few weeks ago and many of the fans have asked to see them go again. This one should be fast and clean with plenty of holds and blocks to,please the critical ones, who like the cleaner tape wrestling. In one of tho\ preliminaries “Scissors” Joe Greenfield him- self will test the ability of Leaping Len Hewitt. Greenfield lost to Mangotich a few weeks ago and has been smarting ever since and wants a rematch and the only way to get it, even if he is the matchmaker is to beat a few boys first, (if he can). Pal Greenfield, Joe’s younger brother and a fast improving welterweight will wrestle With Kenny Monckton in the open- ing match. League Standing MINOR HOCKEY LEAGUE The team seemed to be suffer- ing first game jitters as they mis- sed their first 12 scoring oppor- tunities. Experience will take care of the jitter department and mentor Jim Harrison should have a fine contender going for him. The junior team was sufiering from newness. Besides the game being relatively unfamiliar to most of the~ players, the coach, Jim Harrison. is new to the team and has not yet had time to assess the ability of individual perform- ers. The senior squad showed to advantage and were good value for their win. Despite having many new basketball players on the roster the team playing a man to man defence completely blanketed the Markham team for as long as three minutes at a time. Both the Junior and Senior basketball teams opened their schedule last week against Mark- ham. The junior team was de- feated 39-34 while the senior team redeemed the school’s ath- letic reputation by downing Mark. ham 49-31. High scorer for the senior team was Bob Lake with 19 points, as the Markham quintet seemed un- able to contain Rapid Robert. Coach Babcock feels that Lake’s point production should be in the neighbourhood of 20 points peg- gaxpe. FancyAneighbourhood!
