,VOL. 87, No. 34 RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13. 1965 HOME PAPER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1873] the series at one win each is somewhat staggering. Suppose four of the com- panies are better than just competent. while two of them are just mediocre. This means that one third. or 140 of the performances stand a good chance of being turkeys. Attendance falls off when these two casts areat home or on the road and falling attend- ance leads to red ink all over the books. What to do about it? Try and even things up any way you can. Remember that you’re in this business not as an altruistic producer but as a hard headed, practical business man! Game officials can be compared somewhat to theatre critics. Only one difference thoughâ€" they don’t work for a separate organizationâ€" they are a part and parcel of YOUR show. It wouldn’t be true to human nature if you didn’t try to influence the critics just a wee bit to make the show more interesting for everyone! Dalt McArthur has said that if NHL game offic- ials were to call every infraction that occurs the game would be a farce. And you don’t need 20/20 vision to see that obvious fact for your- self! Just for a little while try and put yourself into the position of being an NHL governor. Pleasant thought isn’t it?? The money is pretty darned good! But you and your fine fellow gov- ernors are responsible for putting on 420 hockey shows during the regular season. Four hundred and twenty shows in something less than six months in some of the biggest and costliest theatres to be found anywhere in the world. You have assembled six road companies to put on these shows and the wage tab for the actors alone When we were just a wee tykeâ€"back about nineteen ought splashâ€"we thought that all NHL players were knights in shining armor and all mounted on pure white steeds. Sir Galahad was a sort of hood compared to these hockey knights while St. George was just a bit of a panty-waist. All the shouting and recent furor about the alleged intimidation of officials in the NHL proves one point very, very clearly. Hockey is big. big business and, just like most other businesses there are quirks and foibles, favoritism and injustice and, human nature being what it is, things will carry on in much the same way for the next 4,000 years. It would be nice to think that all six gov- ernors of NHL teams were true blue sportsmen, who didn’t give a hang about money but just insisted that the game be played as honestly and fairly as is humanly possible. But unfort- unately they are also faced with the necessity of making the odd bob or two to keep the wolf from the door. Sometimes ethics have to be sacrificed to the great god Mammon. a few minor adjustments made to principles and ethics. The practice has a name. It is referred to as compromise. Compromise is the price we all pay for living in a so-called civilized society. One rampant form of compromise is the white lieâ€"something we apply and use unconsciously every day. If the complete and utter stark truth was mandatory for just one half hour on any given day in any given year, then the end result would be absolute chaos. None of us are as frank or as honest as we pride ourselves on being. Most of the time it doesn’t bother us a bit except when we’re ORDERED'to tell a white lie. Then we get upsetâ€"if it isn‘t likely to cost us money. If our pocketbooks are threatened we go right along with the game! How could it be any different??

Richvale.“ 285-1189 This coming Saturday the Georgian Bay wrestling crown is on the line at Port Perry. Coach John Pass- more hopes to have his squad at full strength for this most important meet. All Bayview basketball teams gave it a good try last week but all three of them bowed to Richmond Hill. The juniors lost a heart breaker in the last two minutes as Richmond Hill came from behind to win 20-17. l Weakened by the absence of two top flight wrestlers at the Georgian Bay South wrestling meet held at Markham on Sat- urday last, Bayview was forced to settle for third place behind King and Markham. Three Bay- view wrestlers won individual championships and congratula- tions are in order for Dave! Leroux, Wayne Rumble and Bob Suzuki. BAYVIEW SECONDARY The playoff quest for the Tip Top Tailors cup began Tuesday night in Richmond Hill Arena when Richmond Hill Dynes met Downsview Flyers in the first game of a best three out of five game playoff (series A). Remaining games of this series will be played in the local arena on February 23, March 2, 9 and 16. Even this was close. but Ri- chmond Hill’s superior defen- sive record swung the decision in the Dynesmen's favor. Doug Finney, in the Dynes’ net, al- lowed only 2.75 goals per game. He was ably assisted during the season by the play of Doug McInnis, Pat Meraw and Don Haynes, who have to be rated In series “B”, Keswick Com- ets will meet Bradford Bells in the best two of three series, with the first game tonight (Thursday) at Sutton at 8:15 pm.

Nose Out Keswick (gum Dynes Jewellers, the local entry in the Rich- mond Hill Senior Hockey League won first place by the narrowest of margins over the Keswick Comets. Each team had identical records of 12 wins, three losses and one tie for 25 points. To break the tie OHA rules were followed whereby the team with the highest goal average wins. It was actually the final game of the season in which Richmond Hill defeated Willowdale 3-2 with only nine players that gave Dy- nes a chance for the Town and Country Trophy, emble- matic of league leadership Later in the week Keswick Roy Pratt scored 20 points and Bill Cowan 16 as Richmond Hill won the intermediate game 49-35. The senior game saw Richmond Hill win 70-57. Rick Bradshaw scored 22 points while Sid Acton and Robin Brock scored 16 points each. THORNHILL SECONDARY Junior and senior girls bas- ketball teams lost both games of a doubleheader with Mark- ham last week. The junior boys also lost a low scoring game to Markham. After feverish activity Mark- ham finally wound up as 19-12 winners. The intermediates won 54-30 as Tom Minett dropped in 26 points against the Markham op- ponents. Minett is almost a one man team for Thornhill and has scored a total of 178 points in seven games to date. Dale Crouter paced the senior team to a 60-43 win and contributed 24 of his team’s 60 point total. Junior, intermediate and sen- ior basketball teams won games against Bayview last week. In the junior game Richmond Hill won 20-17 as John Cotterill led the parade with 9 points. RICHMOND HILL HIGH lost to Bradford to create the tie. The local team now meets Downsview Flyers in a best three out of five games series to see which team enters the finals. All games in this series are at the Richmond Hill rink on Tuesday evenings. Other teams in the playoffs are Willowdale, Thornhill, Keswick and Brad- ford. Peter Goodfellow of Keswick, as well as winning the A1 White Trophy as leading scorer with 49 points, also was voted the most valuable and gentlemanly player and 'will receive the Vern Dynes trophy. Runners-up in the voting were Gary Stamp of Thornhill. Matt Kinnari and Doug Mclnnis of Dynes. In series Willowdale Rangers take on Thornhill Shamrocks, also a best two of three series.
