VOLUME LXXXIV, NUMBER 1 Did you ever go out with never a thought in the world and suddenly strike gold? The members of the Richmond Hill Recreation Committee held a. meeting on Wednesday of last week and they did strike recreational gold. And nary a string or gim- mick connected with it! Four members of the Irish-Canadian Rugger Club asked permission to attend the meeting and explain what they had in mind for the development of rugger. One gentleman lives in Willowdale, an- other in Agincourt, the third in Markham and the remaining member of the group makes his home in Toronto proper. They represent a group of 250 en- thusiasts, all members of their club, who love the game of English rugby or rugger. Mr. David Courtin acted as spokesman for the group. and explained just what the Irish-Canadian Club had in mind. Their chief desire is to promote the playing of rugger in this and other Ontario sporting centres. To further this aim they want to introduce the game to the youth of the neighbour- hood and they have quite a package to offer. pan‘ They propose to form junior, intermediate and senior teams of schoolboy age, right here in Rich- mond Hill. Coaching will be supplied, sweaters and shorts are available through the recreation commit- tee and the police are 100 per cent behind the effort. At present a registration fee of 50c per player per season has been proposed. And that will be the total cost. Fifteen players on each side play two forty-five minute halves in regulation competition but time limits can be altered to suit the age of the players. No substitution is allowed and once a boy is elected to start a game, he plays the full time. The field itself is 110 yards long and the maximum width 75 yards. Goal posts look much like those used ‘in Canadian football and points are scored for kicking field goals. Touchdowns are also scored but are called “trysn. Rugger is the grandparent of our game of foot- ball. It is a much less glamorous and scientific game than the Canadian version and is played for the sheer fun of it. As no padding is worn. injuries are rare. That is not paradoxical at all. When a player is be- decked with padding he will charge into action like the Wild Bull of Basham. Remove the padding and he applies only the amount of force necessary to achieve a tackle. There is no blocking in this game. On Monday, July 9th, the Irish-Canadian Rugger Club will play an exhibition match against the On- tario Rugger Union All Stars. The game will be played in the town park with kickâ€"off time being 7.30 pm. This will be a match played by some of the best rugger players in Ontario and it is hoped to have a commentator on hand to explain proceedings to spec- tators. And this is also free. Back in the days of our youth we used to read the odd Chum’s Annual. There were always stories about dear old St. Swithin’s playing their arch rivals, those absolute cads from St. Trinian’s. Or was that a girl’s school? No matter, the St. Swithin’s lads, pure of heart, always won while their double dealing rivals got paid 01? in spades. But we never did un- derstand the game too well. So after all these years here’s a good chance to find out all about it. And if St. Trinian’s was a girls’ school it’s little wonder that those St. Swithin’s lads won. All joking aside this seems like a wonderful activity for our young boys. It’s very cheap and ev- eryone gets a chance to play. This is not a sport that breeds super stars. Success comes from a team effort and this alone is worth something. As there is no such thing as professional rugger to be found, par- ents need have no fear that little Johnny will be forced into doing anything that he doesn’t want to do. The endevour has the complete blessing of the Richmond Hill Recreation Committee, members of the Richmond Hill Police. most particularly Sgt. Joe Rainey, an ex-rugger player, and the blessing of everyone who knows about the program. Thegame is catching on fast wherever it is played, even in the United States. Let’s hope it has equal success right here in Richmond Hill. â€" SPORTS SPOTS â€" l We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. Who ? would ever want to be a softball umpire?
