It‘s going to be very interesting to see what happens from here on in as Professor Wirkowski airlifts help for his hapless team. If they should happen to win even ONE game we’ll have to admit in all sincerity that it really is a loopy theory!

A_nd who needs a winner when cash registers are rmgigg semen“in with a perennial loser? This is where the wild and fanciful theory comes in. It’s a known fact that there are one heck of a pile of Canadian citizens who enjoy seeing- Argos humbled every time out. Could it be that these people out- number genuine Argo supporters about five to one and the Argo brass are well aware of the fact? Maybe then, they are catering to the majority and producing A J.-,A,r n There isn’t much doubt that financially they are enjoying a. big fat dollar year! Games they can’t win but take in money! Not another team in Canada can touch them. At this point there isn't much doubt in anyone’s mind that the Toronto Argonauts are a very sick football team. Sick everywhere except at the box office. IT’S JUST A THEORY A Ever do any wild and fanciful speculating with your tongue well in your cheek? Well, we indulged in a. little wild theory, a theory that could be proven very wrong anyday and we’d love to see it shot to places. This year intercollegiate ranks are being invaded by four ex-Thornhill football players. They were all team mates, all played on championship teams, but each one elected to attend a different university. It’s Very likely that this year they’ll be knocking heads with each other! John Rumble is a good bet to appear in the University of Toronto Blues backfield. Brother Dave Rumble is a centre at the Guelph seat of agricultural knowledge 0.A.C., while Paul Don- kersley will be running out of backfield spot for the University of Western Ontario Mustangs. Last, but far from least, big Bob Howes will be at an end position with the Gaels from Queen’s University. Howes tops the six foot mark by plenty of inches and has the height and reach to ' gather in those long, long passes. With ex-team mates pitted against each other these fine autumn Saturday afternoons in hot pursuit of the intercollegiate title, it almost smacks a little of civil war! But the fact remains that they’re still being active in a game they learned to play and love at Thornhill is a real tribute to their former football mentors, Charles Seath and Bill McVicar. They have made quite a contribution to the world of intercol- legiate football and to the worlds of these four young men in particular! For some years football teams from Thornhill ‘ Secondary School have dominated the Georgian Bay Conference. Many championships have come their way in both junior and senior ranks and they just seem to roll along like old man river. Whether there is something special in the air at Thornhill or whether it’s just the type of spirit engendered in the players makes no never mind. They turn out good football players. 7 _ ‘ ‘ _ ‘ _ CHEVROLET, OLDSMOBILE, F.85 CORVAIR, CHEVY II, ENVOY, O.K. USED CARS 355 Yonge St. N.

Lacklustre Indians Lose [To Eastenders Saturday The loss of a point at this stage of the season could well crush Maple's league champion- ship hopes, as they dropped to three points behind first-place Newmarket. JPlan Educatignal Talks For Rod and Gun Club Next Saturday at 5 pm. 111 the Richmond Hill Town Park, United will play the league leaders in a game which might well affect the final standings, with United (currently in fifth place) still very much in the running. As soon as the club charter is granted it is planned to hold an inaugural dinner to launch the new organization in an official and formal manner. They have expressed a desire to take an active part in the affairs of the community and to be a real asset on the local At the last meeting of the Cedar Rod and Gun Club, Sandy Ellis of the Department of Lands and Forests and Sgt. Robert Hood of the Markham Police, addressed the members on two widely divergent sub- jects. Mr. Ellis told them about game and outdoor lore general- ly and had his audience capti- vated with his fluid knowledge of his subject. Sgt. Hood spoke on farmer-hunter relationships and was blunt and very much to the point in his remarks. Hunting members now have a much deeper appreciation of the farmers’ problems than they ever had before. It has been decided by the club executive that every man who wears 8 Cedar Rod and Gun Club crest must take a hunter safety training course. Primarily he may be a fisher- man but he must take the course in order to be an active member of the club. It is their hope to be able to pass their knowledge on to others and to be of service to sportsmen generally. sporting scene From the opening kickoff the Indian defence held the Eastenders to minimal gains forcing them to give up the ball. With Ian McIntosh at the throttle the Indian offensive unit were able to crash to the Eastender 25 yard line with comparative ease then bog down solidly. An attempted field goal on a third down sit- uation by Bill Dunn dribbled ineffectually along the ground and was easily fielded by an Easbend defender. This was the indicator‘ for the entire game Eastenders scored two ma- jors, converted one and almost hit for a third after the five minute whistle had blown in the fourth quarter. Fuming Coach Del Madeley promised some severe practice sessions in an effort to shake the team up and get back on the win- ning trail. Richmond Hill Indians lost to Eastenders by a 13-1 score in Richmond Hill last Saturday. As far as the Indians were concerned this was the most inept display of football that they have come up with in many and many a moon. For three quarters and a good part of the fourth quarter the Indian defensive unit were superb until they too fell victim to the general apathy displayed by the offensive team. R. D. Little & Son Limited - Yonge Street, Richmond Hil| - 285-1105 The now desperate Indians with something less than four nlinutes to go took to the air. Well into the final quarter the Eastenders started a series of end sweeps that ground out steady yardage toward the In~ dian goal line. With first down on the one yard line they seemed to be going to score handily. On the first play they were called for an offside and moved back to the six yard line. On the next play they came out on an end sweep‘ behind good blocking and into‘ coffin corner for the major score. The convert was blocked and the Eastenders jumped in- to a 6-1 lead. Second Touchdown First Touchdown Time after time the Indians would play good football to the Eastender 25 yard line only to blow under the pressure. Midway through the second quarter Bill Dunn punted for a single point a lead which the Indians held well into the fourth quarter. LITTLE | LOOKING FOR A GOOD USED” CAR?

They seemed to lack desire and with the exception of very few players had a lackadaisical afternoon. If they are to repeat last year’s success they've got to Show a lot more collective desire and drive unless they want to be this years' door mats! A third down pass gamble went awry and Eastenders had pos- session on the Indian 20 yard stripe. A quick reverse and the end was turned for another touchdown which was convert- ed. The Eastenders led 13-1. After the kickoff the Indians again went to an aerial offense only to have a pass picked off easily by the Eastender team. With time for one play left the Eastendvers threw deep for the Indian end zone only to have the Indians pick off the pass. POD-OQMUDO-(“Unmupfl-0QI.“ bmmmtmmmmmuwumd Section Second THUR.

Downing got four hits in four times at bat. one of them. a grand slam homer. He also singled in another run to account for five of the six Kent runs. Ernie Dubkowski. a newcomer to the Kent squad, went well at third base and drove in the sixth run. Kent hurler Larry Guio got into trouble in the opening in- ning but steadied away to pitch competent ball. He walked the first three batters in the op- ening frame but forced North York to settle for one run for the inning. With Dubkowskl at third base and Bob Finnegan at short the Kent infield seems to be greatly streng- thened. It is expected that North York will throw their ace hurler, Harvey Auger against Kents in the second game of the series. Kent Clothes jumped into a one game lead in the North York League junior playoffs as they defeated North York Junâ€" iors 6-5 in the opener at Kins- man Park Wednesday of last week.
