Doug Puffer garnered 13 points for Bayview in a superb showing considering he only played for little more than half the game. THE REFEREES’ RETORT You may remember two weeks ago I contrib- utedna th'irgl of_ this space to complain about what I called “the high cost of referees”. You may also remember that last week I gave this entire space in order that the referees might make their side clean. Now I ask you, isn’t that just about the fairest thing of which you have heard? Yes if there was an award for being an all- around good-guy I think I should get it. Now that I can honestly say I have been enlightened, I can find just two words to say “Aw, nuts!” »I1mmuuulmmquumummumfimiuunMluuuuuuuuulmmmmuuuuuumnuln“ummumumuuiluulumuuuumumm|I: You would try to show him the most exciting game you could find. O.K.. so what is old Martin trying to prove? Merely this. If there is any- body, and I mean anybody out there who does not particularly like basketball, I only wish you could have seen a game like that senior game last Friday. Absolutely everyone who saw that game (even those partisans faithful to the eventual losers) admitted it was a fantastic exhibition. Ah yes, for the second half of that game. Bayview showed greater strength and began to pull slightly ahead in the third period. In the last quarter however it was not until the last minute or two of the game that Richmond Hill captured the lead to pull out in front for a final score of 61-65. Our Australian will naturally be unimpressed with mere words and he will probably ask to see a game. Admit it some games are real duds and not even Bill Hewitt’s unearthly wail can change that. You know deep down that hockey really is a great game so you naturally hope that your Australian’s first game is not a dud and that he will come away from his first exposure to that sport convinced that it is, in fact, a fantastic sport (maybe even superior to kankaroo stalking). In the senior game I witnessed one of the most exciting games I have seen all year. In the first half the play went from end to end. If one team scored the other team would simply match that effort by turning the tide and marching down to the other end of the court. At half time Richmond Hill was ahead but only by a couple of points. The second half was something else. Imagine for a moment. if you will, a friend of yours from, let’s say Australia, visits you for a few weeks. He has only heard of the game of hockey and you try to convince him its the greatest sport on earth. You naturally proclaim to him that the brain which invented hockey was a far greater genius than Einstein (we Canadians tend to exaggerate a little about our game). Anyway. Jim Gordon sunk 17 points for Richmond Hill and Dave Louden connected for 14 for the winners. A few young men with smart looking red jackets led me to believe (by force) that the reason was the latter (I still have my doubts however). In the first contest between these two teams earlier this season Richmond Hill mauled the red-white-and-black team 61-23! The reason for the Bayview triumph is easily explained. Either Richmond Hill played extremely poorly or Bay- view played extremely well. In the junior game Richmond Hill romped to an easy 29-15 win over the rather hapless BS squad. Tim McGhie garnered 17 points for the winners and Rick James picked up 9 for the losers. In a real upset in the intermediate contest, Bayview outclassed RH to the tune of 38-29. This was a big shot in the arm for the Bayview crew which has been unable to win a single game all year. Richmond Hill has found the winning groove this year with both junior and senior teams in first place and the intermediates in second. Bay- view, on the other hand, has had its troubles. Now that I’ve excited everyone by getting you to expect some great upset and a smashing Bayview triumph I'm going to give you this piece of news. No way. Active in high school athletics, Chip Martin is a resident of Richmond Hill) SCORES (AND AUSTRALIANS) Last Friday night at Richmond Hill High School those traditional arch rivals Bayview and RHHS met in a basketball triple-header. This year has been one of many upsets for even the mightiest teams in the York Central system. Enter the Richmond Hill Recreation Com- mittee. In order to provide continuity of this worthwhile sports program from year to year the recreation committee will assist in the future. For the balance of this year Recreation Admin- istrator A1 White will be watching the league in order to take it over next fall. When the com- mittee does take over this project, plans call for an extended program with the possibility of im- proved facilities (perhaps a move to the larger gyms of Bayview). All in all it looks as though the town has picked an extremely worthwhile and much needed project to add to the town's ambiâ€" tions and thoroughly commendable recreation program. Saturday Morning Basketball For the past couple of years the popular Saturday Morning Basketball League has been held at Richmond Hill High School. It was orig- inally the brainchild of William Babcock of that school, and he. along with some senior students did all the organizations for the league. Next year Mr. Babcock is moving on to better things (Thornlea) and those students who had helped him will graduate. There was the problem of next year. Will the league continue, or will it‘ die a brutal death as its parents move on? THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday. Feb. 8. 1968 Chip Martin’s Column Iii Sports! Gentlemen hosted the Oak Ridges novice club in an exhi- bition game at the local arena and took a 4-0 drubbing from the scrappy, aggressive visit- §Dynes Jewellers Back In First g’With 7-4 Win Over Newmarket Then it was Richmond Hill coming on strong as they pro- ceeded to whack home four The stubborn Newmarketers knotted the game with only 23 seconds remaining in the final period. Scorer was Archie Wid- difield. The final period saw the game continue its up-and-down pattern as Newmarket moved in front at 4:14 on a goal by Ike McKnight. The Richmond Hill Newmar- ket contest was a see-saw affair with Newmarket opening the scoring at 7:40 of the first per- iod on a goal by Brian Agnew. This lead lasted until 16:07 when the Jeweller‘s John Mul- hall tied it assisted by Tom Kelly and Matt Kinnari. The score remained that way until 1:26 of the middle period as Mike Lunney put Newmarket back in the lead. Then it was Richmond Hill’s turn to put on some speed and they tied it and then moved into a 3-2 lead. Bob Gibson did the opening honors at 9:01 from Moe Wilâ€" liamson and then it was Doug Stubbs from Mulhall and Kin- nari at 12:57. Other games on the triple- headed bill in the Richmond Hill Arena saw Downsview Can- adians watch a 4-1 lead against Toronto Shultons turn into a 4-4 tie; and the Don Mills Com- ets edging Willowdale Rangers after leading by 5-0 early in the game. Defeated Newmarket 7-4 and moved back into undisputed possession of first place. H, was back on the win-track Sunday night for the Richmond Hill Dynes Jewellers of the York Simcoe Hockey League as they accomplished two things: And a little badminton news to end the day. Richmond Hill downed King City 17-7 the other night. But the combined efforts of Richmond Hill, King City, and others went for nought in the North York Badminton League the night before. Why? They lost 15-13 to the Boulevard Club. a rather questionable goal. which dribbled into the CFGM net from a scramble play. The Country Gentlemen displayed a lot of desire and hustle in this game and without excep- tion every boy gave his all. this game and without excep- tion every boy gave his all. Goalie John Schaap played a steady game in the CFGM nets and had no chance on the only goal scored against him. The second game in the.

It. was a scoreless tie afleihMi! two periods of play and cer-lsisl tainly anybody‘s game at thater point. Barrie finally hit the goa scoreboard halfway through the Fe] third period on what appeared his ors. Highlight of the game was the obvious desire of the visit- ors to win. They clearly showed ‘up the radio kids in the check- ing and skating departments. CFGM must have had the next day playoff game in mind be- cause the team was obviously not up to its usual standard. Barrie I - CFGM 0 Saturday the radio kids trav- elled to Barrie for the first of a best two out of three gameL series against the league chamr pion Barrie club. It was a whale of a game with both clubs skatâ€" ing and checking with vigor every minute of the game. . . . sport Spots . . . Warren R. Bailie.

Orillia won 3-0. Al- though the score might indicate a one-sided contest, the game was very close and only the tremendous net-minding of the Orillia goalie kept Richmond Hill off the score sheet. The Cleaners played well and are looking forward to the second game in Orillia on Friday night. The third game. if necessary, will be in Richmond Hill Saturday afternoon.

BANTAMS Richmond Hill scored first well over the halfway mark, Steve Gordon being the unas- sisted marksman. Downsview evened it up as the Lions al- lowed themselves to relax once too often. A determined Lion team put the winner in in time, Chuck Lunau being aided by Val Steffan. Insurance came at 14:09 when Steve Gordon scored assisted by linemate. Tommy Sanlon backed up by Ricky Sackfield. These teams face each other again this Thursday at 6:45 at Aurora. The Lions need your support. Lions 2 - Downsview 1 Saturday, the Lions took on a beefed-up Downsview team aided by Bert Robertson of the THL. This was an exhibition outing at Forest Hill arena.

At game‘s end the goal judges were consulted by the tournament director and after deliberation it was announced that Dedina had won by reason of three shots on the Cleaners’ net to two on theirs during the overtime period. In a meeting at centre ice, the Dedina coach and manager remarked that the Cleaners were the finest team they had seen during the cur- rent hockey season. In the second the locals again assumed control and Chris An- drews produced the scoring punch to tie the score. Follow- ing a 15 minute rest and flood- ing the Cleaners and Dedina both came out flying in the third as the large crowd cheer- cd them on.

Dave Broderick scored at 7:07 from Dunlop and Harrington. In the third period the locals scored two goals, Hobson from Shier and Gordon from Haldane. The Oakville goal was scored in the first by Daley, unassisted. Goalie Chris Amos came up with some unbelievable stops. particularly in the early min- utes of the game before his teammates opened up. The Lee:- ion led Barrie 4â€"0 at the end of the second period. After a slight rest, the local lads cooled off a hit and Barrie came back with three fairly quick goals to reduce the margin.
