With only five minutes to go the Rangers forced another corner with Roy Macauley send- ing a cross over to Keenan who’s fine header hit the cross bar and was cleared by a de- fender. Best for Newmarket was Stan Beck who came up with some fine defensive efforts to keep Newmarket in the game. The second half saw much ,the same type action as the Rangers leapt to the attack as John Slawson dribbled past two 'Newmarket defenders, pushed the ball to Keenan, who faked a couple of passes before crack- ing his shot home to tie the game at 3-3. Another Ranger error set Newmarket up again as the inside left scored. The Rangers came right back.

This set back stopped the Rangers for a time and Newâ€" market took advantage scoring another goal. Richmond Hill moved in front with Henry putting the ball into the net for a fine goal only to have the referee call it back and give the Rangers a penalty kick.

There are a number of area competitors who will prob- ably he competing all summer. Hopefully we can sneak a peak at some clubs in the area like the tennis club and track club to see what they are doing in the summer. With these sports and any other interesting events I hear of I’ll start next week under a new title and a new area. Lacrosse is a fast-moving rugged game great for conditioning and fun as well as requiring endurance. With the backing this league appears to be getting and the interest of boys 12-18 in the sport the league will probably get off to a good start. On a more serious note the new column will be covering practically everything that’s going. That’s right, practically everything. Minor ball certainly needs and well deserves a plug. For many years this league has kept kids off the streets and in the baseball field where they are doing some good. It serves to teach youngsters leadership and co-operativeness as well as allow- ing them to come out in droves and do something they enjoy. Another sport I hope to cover is the proposed lacrosse league. A league of this sort is what has been needed around this town for a long time. The interest for lacrosse is booming across On- tario and Richmond Hill and area is moving with it. THE BIG SURPRISE Many of you may be in a frenzy thinking that now that high school sports are finished I will be retiring but don’t fear readers! I will be writing all summer on sporting events under the new title of, yes you guessed it, Kenny’s Korner. Would you believe . . . ‘I Richmond Hill won the badminton tourney but if one checks into the best team of the two in the other four sports they would find Bayview triumphed in all four over Richmond Hill. There- fore my reports could not seem anything but biased as I would naturally mention the better team with more flare and zest. But maybe next year, red-headed ex-colum- nist named ‘Chip’ whom I won’t mention, Rich- mond Hill will do better and I’m sure their efforts will be widely acclaimed and appreciated. If the weatherman co-opefjg proficient player in this way -_ ALA u, ,,, To this red-headed, ex-columnist named “Chip”, whom I won’t mention, I can only present the following facts. I covered five sports, those being badminton, swimming, track and field, gymnastics and rugger in which Bayview and Richmond Hill clashed. High School Sports Also I’ve enjoyed knowing sports results be- fore you and learning a few more names. I have tried to cover every sport I could. having to emphasize track in the last month, but also reporting on gymnastics, badminton, swim- ming and rugger. Along with this I threw in a few Hamilton originals, a couple of interviews with high school sports personalities and yes, how could We ever forget my “Names To Watch In Track and Field” eh men! I have been accused of being biased to Bay- view by as many people as you can count on your thumb. Yes that's only one and oddly enough there’s only one who has criticized me on this matter. High school sports have come to an end with the completion of the school year but why let that stop me. In the short time I have been writing I have learned a great deal. I’ve learned to write neater so the editor won’t be continually phoning me to ask me to dicipher my chicken scratching which I hand in to him.

J. Gadsby who was chairing the committee-of-the- Whole session insisted that the committee had only been re- quested to consider the issuing of a debenture, not the merits of the plan. Richmond Hill Reeve Donald Plaxton pointed out. however, that in adopting the report. council could in effect be de- termining the merits of the re quest. Finance Committee Chairman Stewart Rumble. reeve of Markâ€" ham Township defended the committee’s action. “It is not the finance committee’s job to determine the merits of the re- quest." he said. The finance committee re- commended against it however, stating that “with the deben- tures to which the county is committed, the debenture debt and the high rate of interest, we are unable to recommend to county council that such a de- benture be issued.” ;1 Richmond Hill Police have :charged Robert Pratt, of Lot 4, .Concession l3, Snowden, RR 1.
