I have attended every other Legion game. at home and away, and my observations have been that the team arrives at the rink clean and neatly dresâ€" sed. some in shirt and tie. They are not over loud or boisterous in the lobby and play good, clean. hard hockey. . A Leaside rink also got into the winning act for the Carling Breweries Trophy for second place finisher.

At the moment he is crying out for firm discipline. But earlier this season when two boys were ben- ched for not pulling their weight in supporting the teams fund raising. he wrote his fam- ous “fruit cake letter" protest- ing the rough treatment (does the cause really matter as long as the name is seen in large print?)

RAMS SUNDAY. MAR. 26 (Photo by Photique Studio) No part of an automobile is so essential to safety as the braking system. Speeds of 10 m.p.h. would be dangerously fast without it. The idea of brakes first came to people’s attention when drivers of early cars found it impossible to stop their wildly careening vehicles by yanking on the wheel and hollering “WHOA! . . . DAMMIT . . . WHOA!" While brakes of sorts were used on wagons for a couple of thousand years. mainly to help the mules hold loads on steep hillsides. they were strictly un-necessary on small chariots. carts and carriages, which were stoped by tugging at the reins to throw the horses into reverse. However. the auto‘s superior speed and lack of hooves presented a powerful need for some system that would stop the wheels from rolling on and on until they met with an obstacle. Meeting with obstacles is not only expensive, but also some- what bone-jarring to the driver and passengers. Brakes have evolved since then from a long pole pressed against the tire through various friction devices at first. then hydraulic. self-activating. then power- assisted. Now they come in two broad categories â€" drum and disc -â€" each with its own advantages. Just to get an idea of what brakes are expected to do. consider a car with a 100 hp, engine which takes 30 seconds to accelerate to 60 m.p.h. The car is expected to stop from 60 m.p.h. in 6 seconds. Don Little Ford's sei’vice manager Brakes are designed to undo everything the motor is designed to do. only faster. A motor gets the car rolling at whatever speed the driver chooses. The brakes are expected to bring it back down again, usually within a limited distance. This means the brakes are expected to undo the work of the motor in 1 5 time it took to do it. This means the brakes have exerted the equivalent of 500 in stopping the car. That‘s a lot of work. Too often a sudden loss of brakes means a sudden loss of life. Fortunately, brakes usually die slowly. They don‘t often stop working abruptly. When they do. there isn't much left of the car to repair and quite often nobody left alive to tell about it. severe case of whiplash or worse With Spring just around the corner and with highways becoming more crowded and speeds increasing. be sure your braking system is in good working order.

Don Powell had 740 (264. 217. 259): Karl Reisenweber finished third with 676 (253. 210, 213). Woolnough went on to play a strong game and the Rams came on to tie Dixie 3-3 going into the final period. Then came a big effort by Daryl Rice as he weaved his way around a pile-up of players at the 10:50 mark of the third period and backâ€" handed the winning goal by Pat Devlin in the Dixie nets. . The game was an evenly mat- ched contest most of the way as the shots on goal indicated. Dixie outshot Richmond Hill 34 to 31. Craig Terry scored twice for the Rams with Steve Colp and the aforementioned Rice getting the others. Friday night's game in Rich< mond Hill saw the Rams have a first period edge -â€"- as is us- ual â€"- only to again come out on the short end of a 2-1 score. It was ironical that the visit- ing Dixie team had only two good scoring chances against Gordon Woolnough in that first period and capitalized that many times. (130. 187, 242) There were several occasions when Dixie came close to inâ€" creasing their lead but were foiled by some sharp netmind- ing of Carr. “ ‘ Dixie outshot the Rams 34-31 on the game which was a scram- bl_v affair in the small Dixie arena.
