Mic Macs Are Too Good Can't Find Opposition Crush King City/3| - A lot of players taking part in the game drove directly to Richmond Hill at the end of their days work. They were looking for a place to get dressed. Sometimes it is possible to change comfortably and conveniently in a car. Ever try it in an MG." The arena snack bar area was made available to them. This was fine before the game started, it was the end that was literally a bit sticky. As most everyone knows, there are no showers in Richmond Hill arena or anywhere else around the town park for that matter. These fellows were really hot, tired and sticky. There was also a great deal of Richmond Hill dirt adhering to their once white hides. And so, hot. sticky, tired and dirty, they had to drive back to Toronto and home to get cleaned up. The situation is far from a happy one and we hope that tenders are tendered with haste and ac- cepted with alacrity. Then, oh happy day! we’ll be able to look a visitor straight in the eye as we direct him to our public conveniences! One player was {hitched with particular interest by spectators. Seventeen year old Robbie Allen, a recent grade 12 graduate from Oakwood Collegiate, was very prominent in the Irish attack- Robbie broken away for several long bursts and came through with a “try”. Allen took up the game just two years ago while still playing junior football at Oakwood Col- legiate. Between halves the members of the Irish Can- adian Club were signing up the youth of Richmond Hill ‘for a series of rugger classes. Sixteen young hopefuls put their names on the dotted line to start playing the granddaddy of Canadian football. There will probably be many more before the regular rugger season gets under way in early October. Congratulations to the Irish Canadians. They put on a show with less than a weeks notice and did a very creditable job. Now they’re working at getting 3. Richmond Hill team ready to go. With the enthusi- asm they’ve shown so far, it shouldn’t be too long before the Richmond Hill rugger club will be reality. â€" SPORTS SPOTS â€" The Richmond Hill Parks Board have called for tenders for a change house to be built in the town park. Council has merely to vote on a by-Iaw author- izing the addition to the park property and then we’re oi? to the races. Over the years, lack of public conven- iences, changing rooms and shower facilities have often caused a lot of embarrassment. It happened both before and after the rugger game. He says that he has enjoyed rugger a, great deal and plays it for the sheer fun of it. Allen is considered to-be one of the better players in Ontario to-day and showed why in this game. Before too long the Irish Canadian Club hopes to have a team of Richmond Hill youths ready to challenge Aurora. T game has really caught on in Aurora and they’re k en to have a cra'ck afifizié‘fifiiiafiafiilfigxfi."Witt; 'tlié'E‘r‘aéEtiBBhi rivalry that already exists, the game should be a natural- As for the game itself the action is fast enough and furious enough to be highly entertaining- Play can swing from one end of the field to the other in a matter of seconds. It’s a game where the team that capitalizes on all the breaks has an excellent chance of winning. 3".“ M W” V RON CRAINI un Monday night of last week the Irish Canadian Rugger Club lived up to their promise. An exhibition of rugger was given by the Irish Canadian team against a team picked from members of Ontario Rug- ger Union clubs. Despite the heat the game was a spirited affair with both sides going all out to win. It would be nice to be able to record the fact that the irish Canadian team won the match. But it was not to be. The Rugger Union side came out on the long end of a 20-9 win. For the benefit of the fine number of spectators who viewed the game, the Irish Canadians were equipped with a mobile public address system- Throughout the 60 minutes of fierce action a know- ledgeable rugger commentator explained the various facets of the game as the action unfolded. Spectators came away knowing a lot more about the game than would otherwise have been the case. In many respects the action is much similar to Canadian football. Kicking. running and tackling are a major part of the game but there is no such thing as set plays. One phase of the game that always myst- ified us was the scrum. Nine players from each side form two tight lines and the ball is thrown,~amongst the forest of legs, into the centre. The idea is to work the ball out of the scrum to the halfbacks who are poised and ready to take off on the double. Once the ball is clear of the scrum and out to a fleet footed back the action gets furious. If a ball carrier is tackled, he must immediately release his hold on the ball and someone else either picks it up or kicks it. All passes must be lateral passes and, as steam swings up the field to the attack. it is very reminiscent of the old extension end run. As no blocking of any kind is permitted the. ball car- rier is all on his own. In rugger, what we call a touchdown, they call a. “try”. To score a try you must cross the opposing goal line and actually ground the ball. Just running across does not constitute a scoring play. If the op- posing defenders can lift the ball carrier bodily and drop him back outside the line before he can ground the ball, then no score results. Maybe that’s where the name “try” comes from â€" you have such at trying time to score at all. After the “try” is scored, then comes a kick from twenty five yards out to try and convert. Only one catch. The ball comes out parallel to the sidelines at the point where the “try” was scored. If you score in a corner then your conversion attempt is a sharply angled affair. 59035 $90153 é‘qunts Clothes Win, Lose Egln Weeks Softball Play Red Sm Yankea Sex 29, Dodgers lt Braves 10.

Players will bobble easy chances that should be certain outs then come back to make impossible plays look easy. There's nothing of con- sistency in their fielding per- formance. Coaches Joe Cornack and Al Webster are nearly snat- ched bald headed from unpredictable. lapses by youthful players. At times They do lack experience and the ability to recognize and capitalize on the breaks. They have not yet learned to shrug off a miscue and play the remainder of the game for all it’s worth.

Richmond Hill Minor Ball Results A 7-7 tie with Lake Wilcox at King City and an 8-2 loss to Markham was the Kent Clothes’ story last week. The tie game with Lake Wilcox was played under protest by the Clothiers as their contention was that the delivery used by the Lake Wilcox pitcher is illlegal. A meeting will be held this week to rule on the validity of the protest. ..DisIricI Sports News..
