After that it’s just practice makes perfect as in any other game.

With George Rumney 6: Crew .4 East York blocking and lack- ling was crisp and clean throughout the game. The blocks were thrown at the right time and with authority while they tackled low and clean, On the other side of the coin In- dian blocking was virtually non-‘ existent while tackling was, at times. haphazard and lacka- daisicai. East York was defin- itely “up” for this game while the best that can be said for the Indians is that they were also in attendance. WILLOWDALE : North York Township Council recently re- fused to purchase second-hand shelters for township bus pas- sengers. The Melney Advertis- ing Company advised council they have discontinued provid- ing transit shelters for Metro Toronto passengers and are ar- ranging to sell existing shelt- ers at a discount price. Council} declined the offer. I Examinations get under way this week and basketball pract- ices are set to begin just as soon as the scholastic proving ground trials are concluded. Commencement e xe re is e s were held at Thornhill last week and virtually all athletic activity came to a standstill. Pictures of football teams were taken and the winning senior football team was feted at a party. Last years gym team is still intact and the green and white school is looking for big tlu'ngs from this group. Basket- ball and wrestling teams are busily working out with the season to start after examin- ations are concluded. THORNHILL SECONDARY followed by Stewart, Miles and Richmond Houses in that order.

There were five 800 men this week, with Al Richardson lead- ing the way with an 876 triple and single games of 326 and 316. The other high shooters were Jim Davidson 842 (321), Scott Parke 837 (305), Stan Sha- doff 826 (314), and Tim Saul 823. Les Adam 339 and Bob Weeks 327 were the over 300 scorers.

Defensiv- Indian Quarterback Ian McIntosh was picked off by an alert Lion in the. third quarter. He roared 45 yards down the side- lines for the major while the only Indian player in any sort of position to stop him was blocked out effect- ively. Therein lies the story of the game. Thesigns areglgfaf ely they have been impres~ sive. 0n the attack they have humbled and sputter- ed to one point in 180 min- utes of football. Hardly an earth shattering record! In all fairness some of the Indians put out a real effort â€" others merely went through the motions and none too con- vincingly. This Saturday they‘ll have their collective backs to the wall as they try to over- come the Lion 19 point lead.

To the uninitiated, sweeping would seem to be something better left to the average housewife but it isn't. so. “The ice is pebbled". explains George, "and it‘s the sweepers who clear those pebbles out of the route of the stone that can make the difference in a game. By sweeping you can make the stone slip at least 12 to 18 feet more than it would have otherwise." And that can make the difference in winning or losing the big ones. George, who is 37 years of age, observes that the trend in curling is changing from what it used to be. “There was a time", 'he said, “when The Leafs travelled to Wil- lowdale last Sunday to absorb their lumps to the tune of 4-1 at the hands of the Willowdale Rangers.
