We’ve just come through some very cold and snowy winter weather, but somehow football is still very much alive. Much speculation and much ink has been spilled about the Hamilton Tiger Cats and one Samuel Etche- verry. The theme is will he â€" won’t he â€" play for Hamilton or will he ply his trade in the N.F.L. Whether he does play in Canada or in the United States is a question that seems to be rocking the sporting world of the nation and keeping football alive in the midst of a fivery cold winter. â€"â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" The night was frigid, but the pace in the old Arena was hot as the Richmond Hill Figure Skating Club pres« ented their Pop Concert. Whether the cold dictated the fast, well paced program we’re not quite sure, but‘ a well organized and balanced program was very much in evidence. From the opening number, the youngest members of the club in a sequence called Toy Tigers, until the conclusion the program demonstrated just what memâ€" bers of the club have been learning. From the quality of the skating displayed these young skaters have learned well and have been very well taught. 'i‘ne night was bitterly cold and the Skating Club “Pop” Concert at the arena helped to attract people and kept them from the baseball meeting. All told a total of ten people were on hand for the meeting and a planned el- ection of new executive members had to be postponed. The association plans to hold the next meeting on February 19, at the Municipal Hall. It is hoped that everyone who has any interest in ball will attend the meeting and especially those people who are interested in the minor ball program for the younger set. All coaches. potential coaches. umpires or aspiring umpires are strongly urged to attend the meeting to plan to make the third year of minor ball operation the best year .yet. As a quarterback in intermediate football, Mr. Mc- Intosh. had no peers. He is as cool a field general as you could hope to find out and when the pressure builds up he seems like the original Iceman. He passes well and can sit back in a pocket and wait for a receiver to shake into the open. If necessary he can take off and runs quickly and very, very hard. When the occasion demands ‘he can punt with the best of them and gets off some long, towering hoists. This lad can also play a very rugged defensive game and can block and tackle with the best on the field. When you wrap all this up in one package and roll in a tremendous competitive drive you've got a coach's dream player. But it’s a big jump from inter- mediate ball to the Bis: Four and we’re kppnino- mn~ mediate ball to the Big Four and "\xie’l'e‘keeipiinéfieâ€"Lir fingers crossed for a fine ballplayen If desire counts for anything, he's already got it made. _.._.c.... The two club professionals, Mi5s Eleanor McLeod and Mrs. Jane Milne deserve accolades for the enter- taining evening that they helped to make possible. The club executive and all those who poured their efforts into this venture deserve nothing but praise for their fabulous efforts. As the evening progressed it became very evident that, in a few years we are going to have a crop of figure skaters that will compare favourably with skating talent to be found anywhere in the country. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€"-â€" The Richmond Hill Ball Association held a meet« ing at the Municipal Hall on Wednesday, January 25. The night was bitterly cold and the Skating Club “Poo” Del Madely, coach of the Richmond Hill Indians Football Team, had a little news of his own to divulge thhe other day. Ian McIntosh, stylish quarterback of t e Indians, has been offered a tryout with the Argos. He will be competing for a backfield spot and we only hope that he can make the grade. The Jaycee members who arranged the initial game are to be commended for their kindly deed. Their light should not be hidden under a bushel and Jim Wright, Dave Newing and Joe Dempsey. and the sons of these good men are to be congratulated for their kindly gesture. ‘ Apparently all residents of the home. including the girls. have become very rabid hockey fans and a game really means something to them. The game with the Hornets should help a lot but it's possible that other teams of peewee age could find time to play against the Home. If you have a team and would like to help out, won’t you please contact “The Liberal” and we‘ll take it from there. Gary Blackburn has contacted John Gropp, coach of't‘he Peewee Hornets of Richmond Hill. The pee- wee group seem to be the idea] age for competition with the Orange Home hockey team and Messrs. Blackburn and Gropp are busily engaged in arranging a game be- tween their respective teams. This could be one of the finest things that has happened to an unfortunate group of kids for a long. long time. Three Jaycee members, their sons, and children of neighbours of these good citizens. made a trip to the home on a Sunday and played a game against a team of boys, who are residents of the home. From all reports it was an exciting afternoon and especially for the kids as it ended in a two-all tie. Jaycee Gary Blackburn officiated and came in for some ribbing as a very infer- ior type referee. Members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce of Richmond Hill have undertaken to see that these child- ren, less fortunate than most of ours. have had some bright spots to bring a little colour into a rather hum- drum existence. A program of athletic events was run by the Jaycees for the kids’ benefit. Residents of the 'hOme enjoyed it all and are grateful for the fun sup- plied by the civic-minded group. The latest venture is £0 provide a hockey program for the children in the ome. A group of children who live jUSt a few miles north of us are often forgotten by most of us. They are the Children who live in the Orange Home and as they both live and go to school at the home, their activities are somewhat proscribed. H 7 A 7 12 LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario.

The Maple Tool outfit who play all, or most of their hockey in the T.H.L. turned out to be a fast skating- hard hitting club that skated fast and hard to a 3 to 0- :core over our boys at the end of the first period However that was as far as they got in their quest for goals, as the Blueliners checked hard and fast and came up with 5 counters while holding the Toolers off the scoring sheet.

But then Dave Noels of the Glengolds broke through the defense and popped one in past Bob Ritchie in the Blueliners net, then the fun be- gan. Aroused by this first goal the Aurora team began to come to life, they skated fast and had: checked like fiends and Jim Wells scored on a fine play, that was handled poorly by Ritchie. to make it 3 to 2. Our Blueliners Defeat Aurora & Maple Tool After a short rest period both teams returned full of vim and vigor and some fine hockey was displayed by both teams. With the realization that they had to get going or let Aurora catch them, the Blueliners began to get rolling and the final tally by Wainwright broke the back of the Aurora rally. “Long John" Grieves scored twice for the Terrymen one on a pass from Peter Hiscott and another from Walker tipped in a shot from defenseman Robin Craig to make it 3, and the last was scored by "Drainpipe” Wainwright from Rod Kelson, Most improved play- er on the local team was Robin Craig who showed up well on defense.
