!. By FRED SIMPSON It was interesting hockey all the way and the York Region team came on strong in that final period to give the RCMP (considered a real strong entry) all they could handle. The York squad is coached by Bill Hay and consists of a number of players from Richmond Hill including the aforementioned Haney and Hay, plus John Moorhead and Dick Widdifield. Caren is also a local product of recent vintage, having just moved from The Hill to Aurora. It was the Richmond Hill force that generated the police hockey competitions prior to regional gov- ernment and are continuing it under the new reg- ional police setup. GOALIE HANEY Region Goalie Art Haney was under seige most of the way and was managing to keep most of the pucks out of the net in valiant style. He came up with some good stops and made some smasheroo swan dives on loose pucks. As I said at the beginning, I was surprised to see how serious the action was. The boys on both teams are out to win and they go all out to do just that. Then there was the RCMP goalie who dared to skate out to the blueline for a loose puck and got hit by a truck by the name of Mason. This almost started a minor war. Someone was going to call in the police but the guy on duty was already there and in a wrestling match. So they didn’t bother to call anyone. . Things straightened out without any serious altercation and the game continued. I found it a little awesome to see policemen hammering each other even if it was in fun. “That's nothing.” said one railbird. “This is a quiet game. Last week there were three or four fights. And they were laughing while they were fighting."

It looked like a raid. The place was Aurora Memorial Centre where members of the York Regional Police were fighting it out with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. HE SMILES There was Smiling Tony Caven (he actually smiles as he tries to demobilize an opponent) on the York Regional Police blueline taking dead~aim at any ECMP player that ventured near him. This time now won one. It was the first time I had ventured b0 sit in on a hockey game between policemen and it turned out t9 be quite an experience. Then came the fairly rugged. Unreal? No, it was a regularly scheduled Southern Ontario Police Hockey League game.

In the worse shape of the lot is Captain Wayne Stokes. He has a severely bruised shoulder which hampered his play considerably Fri- day night. The Rams' next home game is Tuesday against Whitby.

We got in a good stock this year -â€" but, they're going fast. Neill Datsun has a snow tire special that's well worth taking advantage of immediately.

So I testdrove one and it felt fine to me. I'm getting 25 miles to the gallon: they tell me I‘ll be getting 30. I park in spaces I couldn't even look at in a Buick, and I don't notice any difference in comfort.” Can a man be quoted who talks over a friendly glass at a party? “Go ahead," replied Ferguson. “Never in my life have I endorsed a commercial product for money but I'm prepared to stand behind my Datsun for free."
