Professional Assocuatlon Richmond Hill The Yonge Street Business Published By The newly formed line I of Bruce Walker, Dennis Richard- son and Dean Wainwright played well and accounted for two of the three goals scored with versatile Ritchie Elliott getting the other Coach Red Garner's Blueliners won out over Maple Tool Midgets by a 3 to nothing score in the first game of their two game ser- ies. This is a T.H.L. league that the Hill club are playing in and so far they have only dropped one game. The Maple Tool club certainly deserved an A for ef- fort as they extended the Rich- mond Hill Boys all the way, and only an outstanding performance by Don Lawrie in the Blueline net kept them off the score sheet2 ‘ Time after time the Whitby club would attempt to start a rush, only to be bottled up in their own end by the Blueline forwards. Dennis Richardson snagged the puck on 3 Whitby power play and sped down the ice to pop it in for the first local goal, followed by Ritchie Elliott at the 14 minute mark of the se- cond period working on the pow- e; play line of John GrievesH Richardson and Elliott. Richmond Hill 3 Maple Tool 0 What makes the Blueliners tick? This must be the question on local hockey fans lips these days. Here is a team that only got to the semi-finals in the North York League, playing in the T.H.L. where the best hoc- key is played in Ontario and they are still in there with the best of them. Last Monday night at East York Arena they not only beat the powerful Whitby midget club, they actualy shut them out. Sponn sors Ted Terry local sports man, and Manager Ernie Brennan were tickled to death by the fine ef- fort of their club last night. To say nothing of the mothers and dads who have stayed with the club all season. This club may not. win the T.H.L. title but, don’t forget that they are actually 85% minor midget and are .playing against older more experienced boys, and many of the clubs in the T. H. L. are even pro. spon- sored. At any rate the Hill boys won this hard one by a 2 to 0 score and really deserved the victory. Behind the stellar goal tending by Don Lawrie and the hard checking forwards they stopped the Whitby team cold: It looks as though the best laid planspf mice and menuetc. have really gone for the deep six and that Mr. Maxwell and Mr. Scheffwasted their time. That is one way of looking at it, but those who did attend the ses- sions got Valuable training and will be able to form a Fucleus of umpires who will prove to be an asset to the eague. The need for coaches has not diminished one whit and if you feel that you’d like to help with the kids’ pro- gram in any way at all, please make it known and that very shortly. A call to any member of the Richmond Hill Ball Association executives or to yours truly will be greatly appreciated. Begging may not be the best approach but after all the cause is good and the need is great so that we are not ashamed to beg for help. The whole success of the softball program depends on you and you and especially YOU. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" Stan Ransom, barber extraordinaire, and manager of Dynes Jewellers softball team has called the first prac- tice for Thursday, April 28, at the ball park. The time is 7.30 pm. and the only requirements are that you be sound of wind and limb and want to play softball in a good, fast league. All former Dynes players and poten- tial new players please make note of the time and date and turn out for the practice. â€"- SPORT SPOTS â€" It didn’t take much of a crystal ball to predict the outcome of the Leaf-Canadien Stanley Cup capers. An old glass door knob would have been quite adequate. It seemed at times as if a Memorial Cup team was playing a good pro team and just guess who looked like what. The most enjoyable moment of the Cup series for this child came when interviewer Ward Cornell called Stafford Smythe Frank Selke Jr. If looks couldhave killed, Cornel would have been a long time buried by now. But, darn it all, they DO look alike. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€"â€" The next guy that starts in on the high school age crowd is going to get an argument from this corner. On Wednesday, April 13, the students at Richmond Hill High School played to a packed audience at their Ath- letic Achievement Night. The show was entertaining and was presented in a most professional manner. The talent displayed by the members of the cast was down- right amazing and makes one wonder where he was when the talent was being dished out. The kids are all right and with a little direction and a lot of understanding will do everyone proud â€" them- selves, their school and their parents. Don’t kid me that teen-agers haven’t got a let on the ball! Thursday, April 14, saw the last night of the coaches & umpires’ seminar held at McConaghy School. The two instructors, Jim Maxwell for the coaches and Maxie Sheff for the umpires, had a well prepared course and their manner of presentation wa_s_goecl. So now it’s ho-hum and wait until next year. It’s like going to the show with your wife -â€" always next week is coming a good picture. The Leafs have changed players and coaches to no avail â€" the only thing left to shuffle is the- big brass and five gets you ten this doesn’t happen. The umpires’ school had a reasonable attendance, but for the last two nights of the coaching school there were never more than 11 people in attendance. There is a need for some 40 coaches for minor softball and it was hoped that the school would fill a definite need and lead to a group of well-trained coaches.

Too bad the show can’t be repeated for those who were not fortunate in attending. Athletic Achievement Night was held in the girls gymnasium at the High School on Wedneso day, April 13th and played to a packed house. The pupils and es- pecially members of the teaching staff who arranged the show de- serve the highest praise as the show was run in a most highly professional manner and was well paced. The Richmond Hill midget hoc- 1key club. namely the Blueliners stopped the Maple Tool Club this Sunday afternoon in a hard fought game. The locals with a 3 goal advantage played more or less a defensive game and limited the hard trying Maple outfit to one goal in the two game series. Big John Grieves played very well in this second game, he was a persistant checker as well as scoring one goal. Ritchie Elliott getting the other. tally. This game was played Sat- urday night at Ravina Gardens in Toronto, with the next game also to be played at Ravina on Sunday afternoon.

Judy Purvis, Bob Owens, Joy Wilson and John Perkins put on a display of leaps and bounds that made yours truly realize how old he really is. The boys gym team gave a brilliant display of apparatus work featured by performances by Vic Suzuki, Doug Newberg and Gary Magwood. Vic Suzuki gave a display of his own care- fully worked out, free calesthenic routine that was dazzling in its execution. The dance group. taught by Mrs. Strangways performed a Greek Line dance and an Israeli dance that was very interesting and showed lots of hard work and preparation. The girls gave an exhibition of free calesthenics and apparatus work that convinc- ed us more than ever that the Amazon myth could have some factual basis.

Registrations For Baseball Are Due New blood is urgently needed to fill the many va- cancies and new positions open. Too few people are carrying the load. Officials such as Tubby Barrow, John Gropp. Ted Dobbs, Eric Charity, Fred Waters and many more have been doing the work of two, and some- times three people. It's just too much to expect a man to coach and mangage a teamâ€"â€" plus being secretary, or vice- prefldenn or a league eon- venor....Many hands make light work! Hockey experi- ence is not necessary. Public- ity, secretary, league conven- ors are but a few of the jobs open. 7 If the parents of Richmond Hill want to see the hockey association continue to grow and prosper, they must help.

At the conclusion of each game awards were presented to the winners of team trophies and in- dividual awards. Dave Day in the Wimbridge net proved to be a junior grade Jac- ques Plante .as he was just un- beatable in this game.
