You know the type of hockey. Let's all take it sane and easy, we're not as young as we used to be. and besides we’re all respon- sible family types. This worked out well for most of the session until fate took a very large hand. There used to be a feature that appeared regularly called "Lighter Moments in Sport." A prominent Richmond Hill citizen got involved in one of lthese moments recently. The‘ plot of the action sounds like an 'Abbot and Costello movie but it's all true, incredible as it may seem. Puck Hits Headi ‘ Man Breaks Ankle - “There Are Strange Things Done' Skaters Move Props Pending Arena Alterations, 10 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday.

Leave your yellow shirt and fluorescent cap at home. It is important to dress as incon- spicuously as possible. An old pair of coveralls splattered with green and brown paint are ideal. A camouflage rain cape which many fellows wear duck hunting is also perfect (or the job. Many hunters ‘will wear a silk stocking over their face and some mosquito head nets will work well. Decoys Tie the owl to the limb of a tree nearby or merely set him out in the open on top of a fence post. For this reason. an owl decoy will often improve the shooting immensely. Mache owls can be purchased at most sporting goods stores. but if you happen‘ to be fortunate enough to have a stuifed owl in one of those‘ dusty old trunks in the attic,‘ so much the better. I The Great Horned Owl is a natural enemy of crows and the sight of one of these birds will drive crmvs into a frenzy. They will swoop and dive at the owl and raise such a ruc- kus that all the crows for miles around will be aux-acted by the cawing and rally to the battle“ Once you have established the crow‘s flight pattern. which is often between a dump and their rookery. then you should prepare a blind to shoot from. This could be a low clump of cedars or pines. Where there is no natural cover. you should build a blind such as you would for duck shooting. If you wish to be successful, you milst stay out of sight. Camouflage 'A great many hunters spend a good part of the spring cruis- ing the county roads armed with a varmit rifle. As well as knocking off a whale of a lot of groundhogs, they take a fair number of crows and it gives one a sense of satisfaction to hit a target as small as a crow at 200 yards. Blind Shooting The CFGM squirts are pa- tiently awaiting the outcome of a North York League semi-final series between Beeton and Newmarket. CFGM have alrea- dy won their way into the final series and while waiting for league action are keeping sharp with exhibition games and the Clancy Series. In a Clancy Series game at George Bell Arena last week, the radio tykes won I 3-2 decision over George Bell Squirts. Paul Brown. John Barnett and Steve Addley were the local sni- pers with assists going to Daryl Rice, Tim MeArthur and Gary Oliver. On Friday night of last week the kids tangled with the high- ly rated Faustina club at Rich- mond Hill. The evenly matched squads stalemated each other and ended up in a 5~5 tie. Al- lan Lewis scored two goals, Daryl Rice fired one goal and three assists. John Barnett had a goal and an assist while Paul Brown scored the fifth goal.

The Beaches League held definite attractions for the Dynes team but the challenges to be met in the Metro League proved to be irresistible as far as Vern Dynes was concerned. The new league will open early in May with the 23rd being the tentative date. If weather permits executives plan to try and open on May 16 for one of the earliest starts ever.
