We got 'a telephone call one night last Week and the poor caller must have been convinced that he had the wrong number. He was spreading the news that a rink curling at the Richmond Hill Curling Club _had just had an eight end. Whether we were tired or Just particularly dense at the time is no excuse, but some- how the news didn’t register. Could be that curling IS one game we’ve never been too hep on and that ac- counted for the befogged condition. The odds against any rink coming up with an eight end are something over 10,000 to 1. You have a better chance of potting a hole-in-one on a golf course! An eight end is really news. Just in case you should wonder what an eight end is, it happens when all eight rocks of one rink are in the house and all count. Sounds easy doesn’t it? The only catch is that the opposition are doing their darndest to knock your rocks out of there. And they’ve got to miss every time and while they’re missing you’ve got to lay every rock in perfectly Not so easy after all! The eight and was achieved in the first end of the match. Members of the rink were Sam Sutherland, skip; Elgin “Tubby” Barrow, vice; Paul Street, sec- ond, and Fred Ahore, lead. Victims of the eight end Were Dr. A] Smith, skip; Les Markle, vice; Pete Dyson, second, and Warwick Butt, lead. If the same tradition applies to curling as it does on a golf course when someone drops in an aceâ€"and we’re sure it doesâ€"the victims were able to slake their sorrows on the victors. Sometimes it can be )t)_rofita!ble to be a loser, and this was one of those 1mes â€" SPORTS SPOTS â€" Ever eat a really expensive fish dinner? Like a dinner for one costing $125.00? A fellow fishing at Sutton did that very thing recently. Our poor unfortunate soul landed a 28-inch white- fish â€" the largest anyone has reported so far this Winter. Instead of entering it in the derby and pos- sibly winning the big loot, he ate the fish. Then somebody told him what he had just done. It’s enough to make anyone swear off fish for life! Want to go ice-fishing on a budget? Then try going to the Stroud area. Two dollars and fifty cents is the going rate for accommodation. with everything supplied. On the south shore, prices range from $400-$900, so you can effect quite a saving by head- ing for Stroud if you are really fishing on a tight budget. â€"â€" SPORTS SPOTS â€" Al Smyth, new chairman of the Richmond Hill Parks Board, says there’ll be a change house built this year “come hell or high water”. This comes as something of a shock because we were under the impression that everything was already cut and dried and it was merely a matter of time. There have been some new developments that definitely affect the change house future. Two years ago the members of the parks board approached the arena board with plans for change rooms and a general arena face lifting. After mulling over the plans the arena people turned down the proposal. Plans were drawn up for a separate change house not associated in any way with the arena. After many meetings and hours of head-knocking, the only formality left seemed to be to call for tenders and the building would soon be reality. Then the arena board expressed a desire to revert to the original plan and to refurbish the arena. Not too soon, either. As things stand at present, Mr. Smyth has indi- cated to the arena board that time is of the essence and an agreement must be reached within the next few days. Failing a mutually agreeable plan being made available tout de suite. Mr. Smyth is then pre- pared to have the parks board proceed with the separate change house. We sincerely hope that nobody drags their feet on this one. Public washrooms and change rooms have been promised for a long, long time. Certain groups have indicated that if facilities are not made available, they will refuse to let their teams operate in Richmond Hill. And who can blame them? Other communities can provide the necessary facilities, but the. best we can offer is a Johnny-On-The-Spot and change your clothes in a car. Want a shower? Then bring your own watering can and we’ll be glad to fill it for youâ€"cold water, of courseâ€"we’re rugged! That’s what's known as hospitality. There would be many advantages to a joint pro- gram between the parks and arena boards. Necessary facilities would be provided, public washrooms, proper change rooms, and a modern snack bar that could be open the year-round. Richmond Hill Arena would get a much-needed face-lifting and the whole job could be done much cheaper than the two bodies operating independently. As Al Smyth says, “time is of the essence”â€"the project has got to be ready to start by April 16th at the latest. The parks people are champing at the bit and the onus seems to be directly on the arena board. For the good of everyone in the Town of Richmond Hill we hope that they can achieve a mutual agreement in a great, tearing hurry. For the benefit of all. There will be six teams in the league. Three teams will operate out of the new Coxwell Stadium, which is located on Coxwell Ave. just south of Dan- forth Ave, with entries from Agincourt, Oshawa and Richmond Hill. The Coxwell Stadium group has alwasy supplied softball of a very high calibre and there’s no reason to think that the new stadium won’t be the scene of some real contests. It’s a definite step up the softball ladder for the Mic Macs, as Mr. McAndrews calls his team, and another boost in the right direction for the Town of Richmond Hill. That’s another reason for having a. change house. They’ve got ’em in Agincourt, Oshawa, and definitely in Coxwell Stadium. How about us? â€"â€" SPORTS SPOTS â€" Ron McAndrews. the man who does so much to promote girls’ softball in the Richmond Hill area, is still hard at work on a new softball project. He has entered a team in the Coxwell Stadium League, one of the oldest ladies' softball operations in the prov- Ince. â€" SPORTS SPOTS â€" â€" SPORTS SPOTS â€" BY RON CRAINE VOL. 84.

He coached his first and last game this season as he guided Richmond Hill‘s mid- get basketball to an 18-14 win over Markham. Shortly after the game the good Mr. Babcock contracted mumps and is rendered tempor- larily hors de combat. Mumps yet! !! v The senior basketball team lost a game 'to Bayview with a rather disputed score. One book gave Bayview a 45-44 win while the other book reportedly had the score tied. referees ruled in favor of Bayview and the win definite- ly stands for the t‘ril-color school. On the same bill Richmond Hill juniors redeemed the hon- or of the green and white by grinding out a 50-28 win over Bayview.

In a close exciting senior con- test Bayview squeezed out a 45- 44 decision over Richmond Hill as the [Bayview gym was an ab- solute bedlam of noise. Roy Finlayson hooped 20 points for Bayview while Robbie Louden played a strong defenâ€" sive game.

At the athletic night to be held this coming Friday night a team of All-Stars from the Sat- urday morning league will take on the junior basketball team.

Barrymore Team Enter Playoffs Barrymore Rugs, Richmond Hill’s good juvenile hockey team, is now in the semi-final round of the North York League playoffs. First two games are scheduled for Newmarket this week, with the third game of the three-out- of-five series going next Mon- day ni-ght in Richmond Hill. Should a fourth and even a‘ fifth game prove necessary they will be played in Newmarket. The luck of the toss gave New- market the edge in the number of home games. Barrymore Rugs have proved themselves to be a strong, cap- an19 hockey team. Much credit for their success must go to coach Bill Armstrong and to the man responsible for the forma- tion of the team, Eric Charity. Th-is is a group of Rugs that Newmarket will find very tough to beat ! WHAT DOES THE ADVERTISED PRICE ON A USED CAR MEAN TO YOU?
