Yes, those were the days. Chilly early days of Nov- ember when four or five youngsters would meet at the street corner, wait for the other guy to arrive who had the only ball in captiv- ity, and then head over to the front lawn of the school which was the football Chatting with Bob Thompson and Bruce Venn the other day on the grow- ing pains of the four-year- old Richmond Hill Civitan Football League reminded me of'those dear nostalgic days of yore when the world (as far as I’m con- cerned) was just a bit youngert If this wasn’t bad enough the game would be periodically disrupted by the janitor who kept mumbling away about us not being allowed to play On the grass. There was also a not so stately school janitor who bore the marks of a man continually beset by worry over the grave possibility that a football would find its way through the windows. It finally did thereby relieving him of his worry which, at the time. I thought was very considerate of us. Being one of the smaller (if not smallest) war- riors I seemed to inherit every type of bruise known to modern science. It wasn’t a good night for me unless I was scraped off the side of the school build- ing. bowled over by Va tree, or burned by a sidewalk, at least once. He’d go away awhile and the game would take up where it left off. Then he’d be back again and the whole horrible process would be repeated. I think he finally had a nervous breakdown. The last I heard he was in a small. white room still chasing youngsters off the grass. Except there ain’t no grass there, ain’t no youngsters. We even had a female member who was the roughest, toughest one of us all. She wasn’t, that big either. Believe me, it was never any fun tack- ling her. It was undoubtedly the most unusual football field (that’s what we called it, anyway) ever con- ceived by man. It was small, very small and was ringed by the stately red-brick school building on one side, trees and sidewalks on the others. have beeh eligible for 3.

Three aside sometimes with scores reaching such fantastic proportions as 90 to 8 or 80 to 70. Bruises were a way of life because the only thing between opposing enemies flesh and bone. No helmets, pads, no nothing. Aaah, nostalgia. But the point.of all the above (there surely must have been a point?) was to lead into the Civitan football project which grew from a similar type of street corner scene.

Sunday teenage curling and the Friday night ‘Mixed’ are just getting under way so the results will be reported a little later. It has been noticed, how- ever, that several hard working seconds of past mixed rinks have decided to enter their own rinks. Aston opened the scoring at the 46 second mark for Mark- ham on a two-man break from center as he took a sharp pass from Goldup and rifled a low shot to the corner past Steve Bushell. His one goal was a picture effort all the way. 'The entire team came up with a rugged display knocking the bigger Markha‘m team at every oppor- tunity which upset their smooth pattern plays. Markham's second goal was something of a gift as Ram de- fenceman Bruce Vass attempted to stickhandle out of his own end, was checked by Bruce Herridge who passed to Raymer who batted it under a falling Bushell. Time was 9:57. The Rams opened the scoring early in the middle period as Vass carried into the Markham end and cen- tred to Rice standing di- rectly in front of the net and he knocked it home be- fore Goalie Bill Atanasoff could move.

They lost by 7-3. But they came up with a hard-hitting effort which kept the powerful home team down to a 3-2 lead until past the five-minute mark of the third period before Markham finally forced open the door for three goals and a win. Paul Raymer was the big. thorn in The Rams side with al three-goal effort With singl ' counters by Ron Aston, Dean" Sheremeta, and Glen Goldup. Egerton, who had been hav- ing less than what you might call successful games recentLV picking up foolish penalties, came up with a solid defensive display. Daryl Rice, 3 Richmond Hill product, came up with one of his more impressive scoring ef- forts of the season as he drove home two goals with Stan Eg- el'ton getting the other one. Undefeated Richmond Hill Curling Club rinks up to and in- 'cluding November 13 are those headed by Bill Mabbett, R.

Councillor Gordon Rowe cautioned that pro- \‘iding' off-duty policemen at township expense would be a dangerous precedent. “We could have the same situation every time there was a dance and leave ourselves open to provide police for these,” he said. Mr. Flinders replied that dances are more lucrative than arena rental and said there is no reason why those holding dances would be unable to hire their own policemen. Councillor Ernest Crossland observed that although the arena also charged admission to the hockey games, the crowds are becoming smaller every week. “It has gotten so had up there the people aren’t going to hockey games,” he said. Mr. Cook said he would be opposed to the township providing three off-duty men at mun- icipal expense. “What we do for Schomberg we would have to do for Nobleton, King City and Oak Ridges. This is something for the league and the Schomberg Arena Board to work out,” he added. Deputy-reeve Ken Mactaggart agreed it should be up to the arena management to obtain its own protection. “It is a tough problem, but I don't know what we can do.
