As so often happens to a horse handicapper the form charts are wrong. The kid who was such a standout last year is now in faster company. Other lads have caught up to him in growth and maybe even passed him. The form chart is all wrong. Mean- while some unknown, or a boy who was just aVerage last year turns into a big wheel. What price careful handicapping now? ,VOL. 84, NO. 43 NO OTHER WAY Early in the season there is some juggling from team to team but there comes a time when a boy is entitled to know that he’ll be with a team for the best part of the year. Then you’ve just got to stand pat and let the teams battle it out from there. This has been done and will be done again. There just isn’t any other way. Before the season begins, each volunteer con- venor is given a list of names of boys eligible to play in the age group that he is convening. Some of them he knows from other years while some are unknown quantities. With what he remembers from last season he tries to put better, more experienced players on teams so that some measure of balance is obtained. Unknown quantities are more or less assigned by luck and chance. At this point the con- venor‘ is working‘somewhat like a horse handicapper. Just so that there is absolutely no misunder. standing, he’s right, there is mismanagement in the Richmond Hill Minor Hockey Association. There’s bound to be in any organization this big that is operated by amateurs, volunteers who go into this work willingly but can’t, and don’t, know everything about running a league. If we wanted to get experts to volunteer there just wouldn’t be any Richmond Hill Minor Hockey Association. Any mismanage- ment is purely unintentional and occurs with malice toward none. To set matters straight right from the start, this letter writer is not a crank. He cites what he considers to be some examples of mismanagement in the Richmond Hill Minor Hockey Association. His examples make sense - if looked at in only one light. Take another long look and they could be petty grievances. However this gentleman wanted answers 3)] some questions and it’s only fair that he gets em. The writer also mentions teams that dominated play throughout the season while weaker teams were in dire need of bolstering. Right again! That also can happen, and does happen. There’s a good reason why it does. ‘ Lord Stanley’s little pewter mug is resting securely in the hallowed halls of the house that Smythe built for yet another year.

According to Robert Trotter, fish and‘ wildlife supervisor for the De- partment of Lands and Forests at Maple, ice conditions were generally good allowing safe passage on the ice from early in January to approximately the end of March. Snow; how- ever, was a problem for much of the season making travel by car difficult. This resulted in a greater than usual use of special motorized snow vehicles. uuumum“\mtum\m“\m\mmn\uunmmmmlumuuuuuumm MORE SPORT NEWS Kent Clothes Hold Practice?i Joe Cornack and his Kent Clothes junior softball team had their first practice session out- doors last Sunday. Despite early morning showers, stiff breezes soon had the diamond passably dry and the team enjoyed a good workout. Ed. Brown and his CFGM squirtage hockey team can hang up their gear for this year at least. During the Easter holiday period the kids were entered in the Tam O'Shanter Tournament and the playoff rounds in the King Clancy series. The team lost out in both tourneys but went out: fighting to the last whistle. In the Clancy Series j playoffs they dropped a i two game total goals to count series by a 6-3 score to East York. East York came up with a 3-0 victory in the opening game but were forced to settle for a 3-3 tie in the second game. Paul Brown, Gary Oliver and Steve Addley scored the CFGM goals. Scarboro Lions, one of the? finest hockey teams in their age group in the province of Ontario knocked the CFGM; kids out of the Tam O‘Shanter! tourney with a 2-0 shut-out; win. In previous encounters; this year the Lions had beaten‘ the local team 6-0 and 5-2. Scarboro played E’sC-Tiedule of over 60 games this season and lost only one of them. The: result of the final game would‘ seem to indicate a marked improvement in the play of the CFGM kids and is a tribute to the job done by their coach. Ed Brown. While the ice is not yet completely broken up in the lake, at the end of the week, Mr. Trotter stated it had clear~ ed from part of Cook's Bay and other areas along the south shore. Breakup in the open lake was expected with the next strong wind. In the past five years. the date of breakup has occurred between April 18 and 29, with the earliest date on record. in the past 14 years. being 1953 when the lake was safe for navigation on April 5. Latest date was last year when the breakup did not occur un-‘ til April 29. It would appear that this spring will see aver- age conditions and boating enthusiasts may likely expect to cruise in open water within a week’s time. It is now definite that Galt has entered the league with a strong juvenile entry. With a six team league already organized it would seem that Kents are ready to provide some very interesting softball action for local fans. With the addition of Gerryl Case to the mound staff the‘ team’s hurling problems are; well taken care of. Larry Gala and Case should make the Kent crew as strong as any club in the league in the pitching de- partment. Radio Team Go Down In Final Game Kent Clothes is planned for the near future.
