Indians Capture Metro Football Championship BY RON CRAINE . Two gallant football teams. East York Lions and Richmond Hill Indians. fought bone- numbing cold, snow and blustery \vinds last Saturday to decide the Metro Football League championship for 1964. After 60 minutes of hard-hitting, hard-nOsed football the local tribe won the title by a twoâ€"game total of 30 points to East York’s 24 points. Despite the deplorable conditions the game was well played by both clubs. _ The Indians went into the game leading by a score of 17-8 as a result of their win on the Saturday previous at East York Stadium. Three inches of snow covered the field and winds gusting to 30 miles an hour out of the west whipped clouds of snow toward the eastern goal line. Temperatures hovered in the low twenties and the driving wind aggra- vated the biting cold. This was football played under the worst conditions imaginable. With a nine point lead going and the wind at their backs in the. first quarter the Indians opened with a cautious attack. An aroused Lion defence made any sort of ground game difficult and they contained the Indian attack and brought it to a virtual standstill. Rushing by Bill Dunn. Terry Hemming and Ian McIntosh carried the ball to the Lion five yard line just before the first quarter ended. Three smashes at the line were repulsed and East York regained possession on their one yard line. With the wind behind them the Lions started to roll and two pass plays carried them deep into Indian territory with time running out. A long pass play deep into the Indian end zone was grabbed off and East. York had drawn first blood. The convert was good and at half time the Indians led 17-15. At half time Coach Del Madeley demanded silence and had his team listen to the. furore in the East York dressing room. lle told them that East York had every right to whoop it up and that the Indians had scant cause to cheer about anything on their play in the first; half. It was a different tribe of braves that ventured out for the final and decisive half. The board of strategy decided that the ln- dians would fight the wind again in the third quarter and attempt to control the Lion at- tack. With the wind at their backs during the fourth quarter they would start to roll for points. That's what the script said â€"â€" it didn’t exactly work out that way. For the first six minutes the Indians did control the Lion offence but. a pass interfer- ence call gave East York a first down on the Indian 15 yard line. A reverse saw the Lion ball carrier cross the Indian goal line for the major and Lions jump into a 21-17 lead. The convert was blocked but on the last play of the third quarter the Lions kicked a field goal from the Indian 20 to lead 24-17 as the third quarter ended. A fired-up pack of Lions held the Indians off until the final seven minutes of the quar- ter. Some fine running by Hemming. Dunn and McIntosh carried to the Lion eight yard line where it seemed to stall. McIntosh called on Dunn around the right side of the Indian line and some great blocking shook him loose into the Lion goal area. Score, Lions 24â€"â€" lndians 23 and the five minute flag up. Every- thing hinged on a successful convert and a championship hung in the balance. McIntosh elected to pass for the extra point and floated a long high pass behind the Lion goal line. Three Lions converged on Whitey King but he literally stole the ball for the all-important extra point. With the minute flag up and the Indian ball on the Lion 25 yard line McIntosh passed long to Bob Sheridan. Cold hands and strong winds combined to have the pass go incom- plete and McIntosh dropped back to kick. He hoisted a high punt into the East York goal area and the receiver elected to return the kick. Kicking hurriedly and into the wind the kick was short and the ball came down into the arms of McIntosh at the East York five yard line. He stepped into the goal area in coffin corner and the game was over for all practical purposes. The convert was bllotcked but was recognized as a mere form- 3. l V. _With two seconds remaining the Indians kicked to East York and the ball was grounded as. the final gun sounded. Two thoroughly chilled teams congratulated each other and a a tribe of wildly jubilant Indians retired to the dressing room to thaw frozen feet and fingers.

Theorists surmise that the younger set is beginning to resent over-organization and tend to feel that the programs are set up without re- gard for what THEY really want. Most pro- grams are set up by adults governed by adults without young John ever getting a chance to speak up for what he feels he REALLY needs. Some people feel that to give the kids a voice in their own endeavors would be to breed anarchy. BANTAMS The North End Cleaners had a somewhat dismal week post- ing two losses and a tie in three starts. Brampton hung a 5-1 defeat on the Cleaners at Richmond Hill last Friday by outskating and outhustling the local team. Mike Deciantis scored the lone Cleaner goal with an assist go- ing to John Dunkley. In a North York League game at the Doublerinks on Saturday Thomhill held the Cleaners to a 2-2 tie. Two quick goals in the opening frame by Mike Deciantis and Hal Camer- on were the Cleaner tallies. Windsor and Davidson scored late in the third period for Thornhill as the Cleaners ran into a rash of penalties. Bruce Hutchison was not available for the game and John Hamilton was brought up from the house league in his stead. Hamilton showed well as did netminder Chris Amos. Ajax taught the Cleaners a hockey lesson in Richmond Hill on Sunday as they clobbered them 6-0. The visitors were a fast-skating, hustling hockey team and were worth every goal of the lopsided win. * * i 1! SQUIRT Two wins and a loss was the record posted by the CFGM Country Gentlemen in last week‘s hockey action. The gentlemen won a 4-1 decision The young team got a bad game out of their collective systems on Sunday as they host- ed Bert Robinson of the THL. They were outhustled and caught out of position and dis- played a notable lack of desire. Saturday saw the gentlemen win their second league game of the season from Thornhill at Doublerink. Dave Dunkley, Val Steifan and Steve Brown scored for the gentlemen with Brown notching two. Dennis Acomb and Brian Dunlop were credit- ed with assists in the 4-1 vic- tory. It: a: t t PEEWEE The Richmond Hill Lions lost both games played last week. On Friday in Richmond Hill they lost to Brampton by a 3-0 count with the final goal being scored in an empty Rich- mond Hill net. Lion checking was lackadaisical at times and the team never did seem to get untracked throughout the game. Georgetown visited Richmond Hill on Sunday and defeated the Lions 2-1. Gary Hall scored for the Lions assisted by Daryl Rice and Stacey Richards. 1 t i * ATOMS Joe Ranieri's little atom team played an exhibition game at Markham against the Million- aires last Saturday. At one time the Richmond Hill team led 5~0 but ran out of gas in the third period and lost out by split in games last week. On Friday night they went against Nobleton in that village and played to a 1-1 tie. Frank Pirri scored for the T&C squad as- sisted by Howie Martin. On Sunday the same two clubs played in Richmond Hill and the local boys posted a 6-2 win. George Shepherd and Gary Charity fired two each with singletons going to Paul Jackson and Brian Wadsworth. Dennis Connor, Bruce Sim and Roger Ball picked up assists. Bob Ritchie will be missing from the Town and Country net for one game as he drew a suspension for slashing. Bob Safruk will replace Ritchie for the next game Friday night at Sutton. Unionville will visit Richmond Hill for a game with T&C Sunday afternoon. ***Ill MIDGETS The Canadian Legion team played only one game last week an exhibition one with Brampton which the latter won by a 3-1 score. Wayne Harrington scored the only goal for the Legion as Brampton outskated the loc- al squad. Next week the Leg- ion will feature new uniforms as they go against Aurora in Richmond Hill Friday night.
