MEMO FROM A CAR DEALER Don Strupat Getting a Spring tune-up and then neglecting to re- place a dirty air filter is poor economy. Much of the new power you would normally gain from the engine would be lost by lack of sufficient air intake. With each gallon of gasoline your engine consumes. it uses 9.000 gallons of air. That air is never free from abrasive dust that continually reduces the capacity of the filter to let air through. IN THE SPRING A YOUNG MAN SHOULD THINK ABOUT HIS FILTER With a dust-clogged filler. not only is the air intake reduced. but excessive amounts of dust lay-pass the filter and get into the oil crankcase. causing abrasion to cyl- inder walls and other moving parts. Without modern filters and crankcase ventilation. the useful life of a new engine would be reduced by 65 per- cent. A5 road grime clogs your filter. the gasoline-air mix- ture in your carburetor becomes too rich in gasoline. Economy goes down by about three miles per gallon and power drops. Dusty roads may require a new filter at 10,000 miles or less or a change every 20,000 miles may be fine in a fairly dust-free area. Consult your car manual and your dealer and so on their advice. See you next week.

Both teams (featuring young- sters in the 8 to 11-year-old bracket) had proven to be evenly matched. Maple had won the first game 3-1, lost the next two by 4-2 and 5-4 only to win the next one 4-2 in overtime. All the drama Was there. It was the first time a BILLY CROMB Maple hockey team had gotten this far in OMHA playdowns. This same squad had earlier won the North York Hockey League for the first time ever. The smell of victory was in the air. Had a feeling the other night I was going to come up with a winner for the first time in 1970. That’s when I travelled way over to Stouffville to see the Maple Honey Pot Leafs do war with West Rouge in the final game of their best-of-five Novice “C” All~ Ontario Playoffs. This had to be it. But I should have known better. Everything I touch so far this year turns to dross.‘ It’s enough to unsettle you, make you want town the Whole thing off. WI iéhgég by} now you’vev guessed Maple lost the game. Lost it by an exciting 4-3 score and down, down went the sun. Left at the altar again. Even more disappbinted were the youngsters themselves and the large contingent of boosters who travelled to Stouffville to cheer them on. “W it’s 7the way things go. And, besides. the team has done very well all the way through. Noth- ing to be upset about. The best team won and all that. The only bitterness about the game came from a number of disgruntled Maple fans who, quite frankly, thought the refereeing was lousy. They even went so far as to say it was biased in favor of West Rouge. My opinion? Must admit I haven’t got a strong opinion either way. Of course I wasn’t as emotionally involved as most of the parents there. . As one parent put-it to me: “It wasn’t losing the game that matters. We didn’t mind losing it our- selves but we didn’t want the ref to do it for us.” BOO THE OFFICIALS I agree the officiating left something to be desired. Doesn’t it in a lot of cases? Doesn’t any- thing? I guess the best way for me is to leave it the way it is. It’s a tough job. Just to state that there were quite a few enraged Maple fans, enraged at the game officiating. And leave it at that. Talked to Manager Dave Cromb and Coach Reiner Weidenfelder a few days before that big final game and they were spouting enthusiasm over the results of -the entire season as well they might be. A great season. The Leafs, led by high-scoring centre and Cap- tain Billy Cromb and Goalie Joey Saunders, won 13 of their regular season games while losing only one and tieing two to win the league title going away. In playoff action the Leafs won 11 and lost only four, three unfortunately, to West Rouge who won the whole prize. r Yoiirig‘ Cromb won the North York Scoring Championship by the! meagre margin of one point with 29 goals and 15 assists for 44 poirit_s. _ Theubest goaling average went 'to his teammate Saunders, who led all the goalies. That’s quite a combination to have going for you. VMaipleflhad a lot of oiher éood players going for them including Stevelsherman who was one of their outstanding players during the playoffs. “Steve’s a good leader, a good skater and that means a lot,” states Manager Cromb. “I’d particularly like to mention the goaling of Joey Saunders. He posted eight shutouts during the regular season and it was his first year with the club. He was also outstanding in the p1ayoffs.’_’ WV’Coiércih Weidenfelder alsovhad praise: for his goalie noting “he has the fastest hands around and that is one of the keys to his success.” Coach Weidenfelder felt his team started to jell when "the boys started playing positional hockey and started backchecking. We also had six return- ees from the previous year’s team and they turned out to be our leaders.” The team was a rugged crew and played its hockey the same way. One of these was Billy Cromb who admitted he liked “to hit them.” Billy was also one of the stronger skaters out there Tuesday night. I was quite'impressed with the calibre Of play. The kids came up with some good. interesting hockey and, even in loséng, were quite impressive . [In closing will say congrats to‘ all the players and come out with that “wait until next year” chant. ALSO And t’would only be fitting to really conclude by noting that young Cromb (he‘s 11 and attends Charles Howitt Public School) along with Saunders and Steve Sherman were also feted Friday night at the annual Maple Minor Hockey event in Maple. Cromb for being top league scorer, Saunders top goalie, and Sherman, most valuable player. Other members of the team (and it does take the Whole team to make everything work) are: Donny Wolfe, Blair Sutherland. John DeJong, Mike Fitzgibbon. Dennis Limoges, David Moore, David Goodmaker, Edward Gunder, Steve Cromb, Dave Sutherland, Ross Bowes, and Steve LeMoine.

A new Richmond Hill and District Major Fastball League has been formed by local area teams who prev- iously played in the North York Major League. These teams -â€" to include the Richmond Hill Auto Body and Kent Clothes squads â€" were to have lined up in a two division North York League this season. But as a result of a league meeting last week the only intermediate entries were from the Richmond Hill area while North York had an Overload of junior and juvenile teams. The top four teams will enter the playoffs and indi- cations are that the playoffs will be fitted into the OASA playdowns schedule. This means that the prev- ious alignment had to be discarded. At this point the local entries withdrew. held a meeting, and formed their own league. The six teams will play a 20 game schedule beginning the week of May 19 and running for 10 weeks. other teams in the new league are: Markham Es- posito Ford Sales. playing home games Wednesday ev- enings; Unionville. also a Wednesday horn e date: Aurora Legion.
