'A:l_ nn‘l.‘ I Four Teams For Tackle Football The town league will operate again in 1971 with at least four teams already registered for action. To the south. the South- ern Blues will serve the Rich- vale area. To the west. the West- sides will hold sway, and to the east. “1‘11 lbe the Browndale Bomber: and Crosby Park Tigers. Another attempt will be made to create a team in the northern part of Richmond Hill, the old Oak Ridges-Lake Wilcox section, to make Richmond Hill minor football truly tmm-wide. The tackle football scene in Richmond Hill took a giant step forward this week with the formation of the Richmond Hill Minor Football Association which will be replacing the Civitan Football League. A governing body of seven local residents recently put their names forward to oversea the development of good sportsmanship and citizenship through the playing of tackle football in the central region of_ York. N _ 1 'n 1 , 11,“..1 \f... The new football brains will also be encouraging other areas in the Region of York to develop football and they are expecting enquiries from King City. Au-. rora, and Newmarket. Ray Kyte will welcome any enquiries con‘ cerning out of town developâ€" ment by phoning 884-4862. Rumors that Richmond Hill High School may not be participating in the 1971 senior football division has prompted the new associa- tion to investigate the pos- sibility of intermediate ball for the coming season. The board of directors hear a request from Hugh Cutler con- cerning intermediate football which has all but died in the province.

A seventh member will be appointed on an annual basis at a later date. The association advised Mr. Cutler that if the interest was here if the money was avail- able. then there would be a posâ€" sibility of organizing an older league for teenage boys in the intermediate range. The Raiders team. which last year participated in the Scarboroi Football League. will be opera-I ted by the new association with Bruce Venn as coach. Further information regarding this team is available from Bruce Venn at 884-2601. The re-organization was neces- sary through the announced re- tirement of Bob Thompson as president of Civitan Football. coupled with the knowledge that the sport had become too large The final two-week session at the Park Y Day Camp, held five days a week from 9-4, at Mill Pond Park, is now underway. The program of games, crafts, sports, cookouts, campfires, overnights, swimming, singsongs, every imaginable sort of summer fun for youngsters between the ages of 8 and 13, has attracted 140 children in this, its third year of operation, almost twice as many as in the past. Linda Malone is the camp director and Gwen Halliday the administrator. In the above picture a group of children are enjoying a game of dodge ball in their half hour free time during the break for lunch, which they bring from home and enjoy with a glass of cold milk supplied by the camp. (Left to right) Joanne Silvis, Don Rothman, Kevin Butt, Barbara James and Jerry Pashko with Mary Lynn Trottier, dextrously avoiding the ball. A shelter built by the Rotary Club is available in the park and on rainy days the gym at MacKillop Public School is available. It has had to be used on only two occasions (both opening days) so far this summer. SECON SECTION Committee 0f Seven In.

Drennan allowed four runs in the first game off 10 hits. strik- ing out six batters. 1n the sec- ond game he was touched for three runs and only five hits. Dynes got their only run in the third as George Chapman walked and came home on Joe O'Neill's zinging double. Richmond Hill Dynes Jewellers got their initial taste of starry pitcher Bonnie Jones and his Detroit Nothdurft squad on the weekend and it didn’t taste too well at all. Big Bonnie tossed a seven-inning two hit, 14- strikeout 3-0 win against the Jewellers as the Detroiters swept to a doubleheader win Saturday at the town park. Detroit won the first game 4-1 with the win going to Len Tarach. Tarach pitched five and a third innings before being relieved by Jones. He allowed one run on four hits. Jones set the Jewellers down with no hits the rest of the way. Detroit scored its final run on a walk. an error and Mills” second single of the day. Richmond Hill threatened in the sixth with singles by Les Downing. Don Lee. and Bob Shelston but Jones came on to put out the fire. Detroit scored all of their three runs in the fourth inning of the second game as Miller led off by being hit hv a Dren- nan pitch. Contributing to the RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1971 quiring coaching staff and in- terested parties are requested to contact Dennis Young at 884- 2426 before July 19. In winding up Civitan football Mr. Thompson thanked all the people who had supported the sport in its initial growing periods and encouraged these people to continue their support in the future. Announcements and initial training sessions will be advertised at a later date along with practice times at the town park. Registration fee for 1971 will be $5 for the town league, $7 for the Raiders, and for the first time, local sponsors will be sought for runs were hits by Harry Haro- ian, Grant Keys, and pitcher Jones.

In this same corner at that time I went on at great length about the tremendous effort put forth by the Jewellers in winning the 1971 A11- Ontario :OASA Elimination Tournament July 11 in Newmarket. It was, as I said at the time. a gutsy performance all the way. To put it. somewhat in blushing prose. I was proud of them. By FRED SIMPSON Sorry To Say . . . I was going to start this effort out as "An Open Letter from the Fans" to the management and players of the Richmond Hill Dynes Jewellers. But that would he a little bit presumptious. I can't really speak for the fans but can for myself. I’m sorry to say I was just the opposite follow- ing Thursday night of last week‘s debacle at the town park which saw them humiliated 15-0 by the Oshawa Bunny’s. At least I heard the score was 15-0. I left the “game” before it was over. Needless to say. I'm writing all this with mixed emotions. I realize the team has just come out of a grinding three-day tournament. that they are hav- ing pitcher problems due to the ineligibility of Bob Domik, that Billy Drennan is the sole hurler going for them at the moment. I also acknowledge that you can’t expect one hurler to go every game like a machine, I acknow- ledge all this. Maybe even the players are suffering a letdown after playing so superlativer in that tourn- ament. Now that I've said all this, I’ll go on. Never let it be said that I’m getting carried away by the importance to the world of Dynes win- ning the right to represent the province in the Can- adian Fastball finals in Halifax on Labor Day. It’s a mere trickle in the overall, everyday hustle and bustle of life. But it’s still a trickle and to make it all work. Young Campers Receive Awards In Tests At Camp Richildaca I just feel that representing the province, maybe even the country if they are fortunate enough to win in Halifax, is something that should be car- ried with a certain amount of pride. Richildaca Campers during the first 1971 camping period (July 5-16) qualified for a large number of badges. Results of the tests follow: RED CROSS SWIMMING AWARD Pre-Beginner: This is a new award issued by “the Red Cross for very young swimmers who lack the necessary skills for the more difficult Beginner Tes;t: Christine ‘Beattie. Bruce Bab- cock, Jennifer Haller, Elissa Plyburn, Nancy Robertson, Laurie Copithorn. Stuart Ab- rams. Michael Miner, Kerry Judges. Glen Armstrong. That’s the feeling I had when I went down to watch Thursday night’s game. I think the greater majority of the large crowd shared similar feelings. I wanted to see the team that Won the All-Ontario in action. I wanted to congratulate them by being there, seeing them in action. Beginner: Erica Marsden, James Osborne. Robbie Hub- bard.

All I got, and the fans got, was a big, fat farce. A game not even worthy of the name. Not even worthy of the green-and-white uniforms so very prominently on display, Who do you blame? I went right from the top down in spraying the bouquets to the team last week. I have to go the same way in levelling the criticism. n fllLCAJ, Allan: uA'Ll-V. Waechter, Kurt vWard.

It’s up to the management to put 3 represent- ative team on the field, a representative “A” team. When they don’t they must take the blame. But I think it’s also up to the players to make it possible. I’m told (reliable sourses I presume) that three or four players didn’t even bother to show up. There’s no point in naming them because they may have or may not have had valid reasons. Besides, the entire team should share the blame. If they’re big enough to take credit they should be big enough to take criticism. Sport Spot: THE WORD IS ‘PRIDE’ (Continued on Page 12) Powell. Peter Hiller. Alfred Waechter, Kurt Ward.
