The purpose of the meeting is to clear up unfinished nisiness pending from last year and, most important, the election of officers for the coming season. Despite some adverse publicity and some unfortun- ate oversights, last year's activity was relatively suc- cessful. If you have any ideas about how to improve the organization for the coming season please attend this meeting. The more willing people, prepared to vork, the better the deal as far as the youngsters are 'oncerned. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" The addition of the American Football League to the sporting scene in the United States has caused some onsternation in Canadian football titles. It may very We” be that American college players may prefer to stay in the land of the free and sign up with N.F.L. or .H.L. teams rather than come up to this country to ell their talents. Smacks of stark tragedy. doesn‘t it'.’ Everyone ‘nows that Canadian boys never could play football vorth a hoot and. without the help of talent from south f the border, football is doomed as a spectator sport n Canada. A Try real hard and jast you try and think of a many good native born footballer. Teddy Morris? Joe [{rol'.’ Royal Copeland? Pete Neumann? Teddy Reeve? Vho ever said these guys were football players? Lionel 7onacher. you say and Mike H‘edgewick. Huck Welch nd Bummer Sterling. Ab Box and Annis Stukus, oh 10 these fellows could hardly play the game at all. There must be just as many other boys around who ‘an keep up with Ed. Ochiena and Paul Fedor, Ron Stew- u't and Davy West. The dearth of US. talent may give few more Canadian boys a chance to try and play big eague football. But the game just won‘t go at all. laven‘t we agreed that only Americans know all about ‘ootball and when we thrilled to the exploits of ("anad- an born players we were only kidding ourselves? Hallelujah! we say, we may get the opportunity of vatching our own boys play our own brand of football E HERBERT R. BUTT DON’T SEND YOUR BOY TO THE ARENA.” â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" Sil Steffan, president of the Richmond Hill Ball Association has announced that the association will hold the first meeting of 1961 on Wednesday.

Thursday, January 19, 1961 Two of thecontestants are Richmond Hill residents. Jeanne Richardson and Denyse Armstrong. The third bowler is May Ruthley who comes from our big southern neighbour, Gardinerville. ‘ The last time these three ladies met head on in a bowling competition. the results were something for Ripley. For a seven game match the scores were not spectacular, but if a handicapper could ever get a race to finish this close he’d be a Shoo-in for Handicappers’ Valhalla, on wherever good handicappers go. After seven games a four pin total decided first, second and third place finishes. May Ruthley won the match with a 1595 count, Jeanne Richardson finished Second with a 1594 while Denyse Armstrong finished third, away off the pace â€" with a 1591! How much more even can you possibly get. MINOR HOOKEY WEEK IN BANADA There’s a real treat in store for you good people who like to watch good five pin bowling action.
