It seems to come a little earlier each year. Time was when September was football time and it was all over before Christmas. Now it starts in July, ends some time after New Year’s Day, and gets plenty of newspaper ink in the_intervening months. m,. Under the system of yesteryear, Friday after- noon was the traditional time for high school foot- ball games while the O.R.F.U. and Big Four teams always played on Saturday afternoons. All that has gone by the boards, too. Pick any day from Monday to Friday and high school teams are hard at it. The pros don’t play much Saturday ball any more, but seem to prefer night games throughout the week. All the tradition is being shot to heck! On a golden autumn Saturday afternoon, Varsity Stadium used to be like a big magnet. attracting people from all corners of the City of Toronto and environs. They came by street car, bus, automobile, some hitch-hiked, while others walked. It was a festive occasion and, while the football was taken seriously, especially in games between Hamilton and Toronto, the crowd was in a holiday mood. ‘ These days the big boys have deserted the more compact Varsity Stadium for the wide open spaces of the ONE. Grandstand. More spectators can jam in to see the game, but the fun seems to have gone out of it. Everyone is so deadly serious! No one seems to have a really good time. Just like the song says, the road’s going to be “lonelier and rougher” this season for 20-year-old Oak Ridges hockey star Bob Wall as he takes on steam for the uphill skate from junior into professional hockey. “But I feel sure I’ll be able to stick with the pro’s,” offers Bob from behind a sturdy 180-pound frame and four just-completed seasons as a defenseman with the Hamilton Junior “A” Cubs in the Detroit Red Wing chain. Dvynuu v gnu... “ - As far as the calibre of the football played in the l big leagues is concerned, it’s undoubtedly better. Where football used to be a sideline with Toronto Argonauts and Hamilton Tiger-Cats players, who mostly played for fun, today’s pro player is a serious young specialist. He plays clinically sound football but somehow he lacks the colour of a guy named Red Storey, who used to hitch-hike down to Varsity Sta- dium just to play football for the sheer joy of it. He was so well paid that he had to hitch-hike back to Barrie after each game! “‘t’s something I made up my mind to do a long time ago when I was just starting out in minor hockey at home. You have to have a lot of confidence in yourself. I lost my confidence once and MW that it’s back I don’t intend to lose it again.” Bob’s loss of confidence came in his second season with the Hamil- ton Cubs when “I all of a sudden forgot how to_ play hockey.” _ If that’s the kind of football you remember and would like to see again, then by all means turn out to watch the Richmond Hill Indians operate in the Toronto Rugby Football Union games. Last year the Indians won the league championship and every team in the league will be out to dethrone them this year. There isn’t one Indian who earns so much as a shinplaster for his efforts. They are out play- ing football because they enjoy it, and for no other reason. The rest of the teams in the league are comprised of players who feel exactly the same way about the game. It makes for good. fast, crowd-pleasing football. ' Because they are playing the game for fun and ‘ not for a nice fat pay cheque, the players come up with a wide-open razzle-dazzle type of game. Some of the plays are real dipsy-doodle affairs and are ‘ reminiscent of the hot potato type ball once employed 3 by the Argos of old. A thrill a minute and, if you stop to sneeze, you never know what you might miss! Most of last year’s Indian squad is in harness and ready for the opener on August 3lst against their arch-rivals. the Northwestern Ghosts. The opener will be played at Keelesdale Park, while the Indians will play at home on Saturday, Sep- tember 7. Game time is set for 2 pm. at the Richmond Hill Town Park. Rain or shine, it will be a game well worth seeing. So if you, too, once enjoyed football on a golden autumn Saturday afternoon, try to get ‘to see at least one of these games. Somehow the nice bright sunshine, 3 hazy fall afternoon, and the smell of burning leaves adds something to the game.

They played only one game: against Scarboro and lost a 4-0 decision to the east-end squad. Game Defaulted The second game saw the‘ game awarded to Scarboro as the Clothiers turned out to play with only eight men available. Game over right there and Scarboro advances into the next round of the provincial play- downs. The result was particularly; disappointing for Kent Hurler‘ Larry Guio. In the opening game of the series he struck out 14 only to have two Kent errors and a Scarboro home run spell defeat.

Now all you have to do is pick your favourite spot and away you go. There is one regula- tion which will bear some close scrutiny. Target shdoting is not covered under any regulation of the Game and Fish Act. How- ever, the possession of a gun in an area where game is lo- cated will be considered prima facie evidence of hunting. If you are target shooting it has to be on private land which is clearly marked as a target range. Producing tin cans with holes in them won’t help your case an iota unless you’re obey- ing the target range regula- tions. Happy hunting. and may you all bag the legal limit.
