STEVE MADDEN In a report on last week’s Richmond Hill Tournaments Incorporated Minor Bantams Hoc- key Championship win over Chatham the name of player Steve Madden was inadvertently omitted from the team’s line-up. Apologies to Steve and hope that this mention will make up for the omission. Coach Ron tells me the team was also hit by the injury bug with Bonnie Bryan, Darline Harrison and Patti Barclay taking their'lumps in thgt department. Ron would like to thank Mary Williamson for assisting the injured girls. Mary, incident- ally, played for the Oro Flyerettes. * it it I! * BANQUET Coach Van Williams of the Richmond Hill Minor Hockey Association House League Seafood Peewees treated his players and their parents to a dinner Sunday at Summit Restaurant. Each player received a trophy and, in turn, Mr. Wil- liams was presented with one from the players which referred to him as “the greatest coach of them all.” Very pleasing way to end a hockey season. Really, finally, I should add that regarding the Oro Tournament a Richmond Hill gal by the name of Sue O’Connor was selected as the Most Valuable Player in the “B” Division. Sue plays defence for the Gormley Sand and Gravel crew, and, according to reports is a fine young hockey -lA-_-_ I‘_.__._.,L player. Cong-rats, Shé. The gals were pitted against senior teams (ages around 35 to 14 compared to their mostly teenage line-up) and just couldn’t prevail. They lost the first game 3-1 to Beeton with Jan Baxter getting the only goal; lost 4-1 to Oro Seniors with Pat Lohman scoring and then dropped a 1-0 game. to >Lakeview Seniors in the “B” final. My informants tell me the entire team came up with a super effort all the way to down a tough Belle River crew. Particularly outstanding during the series and throughout the season was Goalie Len Bishop of RR 1, Muirhead Crescent. Len is being looked at by the Aurora Tigers of the Provincial “A” league along with other mem- bers of the team. All in all, an all-round effort by everyone. Len has played his minor hockey in both Richmond Hill and Oak Ridges associa- tions. G-ALS’ HOCKEY Ron McAndrews tells me his Richmond Hill Gormley Sand and Gravel girls had themselves an enjoyable weekend at the Oro Jets Hockey Tournament. No, they didn’t win it all but they did cno‘me up. with the _Consolation “B” Trophy. Back to hockey for a few final (?) notes: Congrats to members of the Oak Ridges Juveniles who won the OMHA “C” Champion- ship by downing Belle River 3-0 in the final game. If you can help out in any way please contact Lynda Price at 884-9782. If you want your child to play ball this season you as an adult have got to get out there and contribute. It’s either do it or write the minor ball season off the books for 1974. I’m sure no one wants that to happen. Desperately wanted are: Tykes, convenor, two coaches; Peewees, con- venor; Bantams, convenor; Squirts, convenor plus six coaches; plus coaches for both the jun- ior and senior girls. The idea of the meeting was to have any amount of people turn out and volunteer their services as coaches, convenors, and umpires. It didn’t work out that way at Sunday’s Richmond Hill Ball Association meeting. Only 50 persons turned out and there were very few applicants for the various positions open: Association Publicity Girl Lynda Price in- forms me the executive was “very disappointed” over the general lack of interest. It all boils down to this. In closing, I should hasten to add that the club needs bodies to assist in the sessions. Drop around and have some fun. Helping Bob are such stalwarts as Ray Kyte, and Al Workman who1 is also a speed-skating expert in his own rig t. Anyone interested in getting some track and field practice in is invited to come out to club sessions at Richmond Hill High School field starting the first week in May. Just call Bill Alexander at 226-2732 for further information. _I hope so but, truthfully, I’m not holding my breath. They are: Greg Binkley, 19, in the quarter mile hurdles (Greg’s a Richmond Hill boy); Bill Milley in the shot put; and Diane Diggins in the long-jump. 7 l juét hope that someday Bob and his club gets that “all-weather” track as well as the local support from new-found fans of track and field. Who are the young hopefuls with Bob’s club this season? “I figure we could have three who will get past the zones, the provincial and into the nationals this season,” he said. “Track and field athletes don’t look for a lot of adoration,” he said. “No applause can come close to the feeling when an individual runner cuts a half-second off his timing. It’s the best of all.” “Not that Bob is going around crying about it a . (Continued from Page 15) “The big thing we have going for us this year,” said Bob, “is the fact that most of the meets are in the Toronto area. That means a big saving on transportation costs for out of town trips. Our club also helps to pay for the regis- tration fees, etc.” 16 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Wednesday April 24, 1974 Sport Spots" HOCKEY NOTES NEED HELP The Men’s finals and the Spring Thaw Brier both con- cluded last Thursday evening followed by the awarding of prizes and a late evening of cards. Since some curlers become involved in both events and must choose only one rink to support in the finals some substitutions are required and the naming of winning rinks becomes somewhat con- If a prize had been award- ed to the rink accumulating the lowest total score it would have gone to Murray Meeres. Maybe the pressures of being club president for such an exuberant club as Richmond Hill finally got to Murray. Jack Shropshire won three games on the late draw to end up with 48 points. Thir- teen points behind in second place was John Graydon. Doug Jenner and his rink finished third. Cliff Brown and his rinks appeared to be on their way to winning the middle draw as they were two up coming home with last rock but Don Richards with wife Phyl. Tom Hardcastle. and Pam Abra-ms, took three to be high three game winners and the only such winners in that draw. Ross Clark with two wins. the last of which was a lop- sided game involving two six- endors for Ross, won second prize. Third place honors went to Walt Lavender's rink. By all appearances Len Lee should stick to curling as most of his pirouettes ended up somewhat flat. On the early draw, Armon Tripp and his rink was high three game winners, while one point behind was Wayne Hindmarch’s rink. High two- game winner was a rink skip- ped by Percy Hobson. Not too many curlers took advantage of the unused ice for skating but around 11 pm several of our younger athletic male members play- ed a short game of "shinny." Curling appeared to be secondary to the committees successful efforts in making this spiel a top notch “fun” closing. The Business Girls' Sym- pathy Orchestra provided the entertainment Friday evening and were requested to do an encore later in the evening. Some selections such as \Yel- low Bird and Sweet Gypsy Rose were accompanied by enjoyable solo dances. The theme for this year was "Bon Voyage" with cruise ship activities such as table tennis. shuffleboard and turtle races being provided. All committee members were suitanbly dressed in attractive cruising attire. A semi-formal dance fol- lowed in the evening with Dave Elliot and his orchestra. Greatly missed this year was Ross and Muriel Clark's “Revue” and with a {little coaxing it might be back for next year's closing. The final bonspiel of the year was held last weekend with 36 teams taking part in one six-end game on Friday evening and two six-end games Saturday, = ‘ EXTENDED 301335 ’3 3mm Smamm'do Fri.

This final curling report would not be complete unless Peggy Welsh and Donna Buchan were thanked for all the news they have supplied for the ladies’ curling and junior curling respectively. Also thanks to the good na- ture of those who have been “needled” from time to time. especially Frank Ellison, Ernie Dubkowski, Elgin Bar- row, Lou Crotin and Len Lee.

NEWMARKET: 11-year-old John Dunlop of Davis Drive recently fell 70 feet down an elevator shaft in an unfinish- ed apartment building into 18 inches of water at the bottom.

On the Mod side Joyce Sarjeant of Bayview won the first event and the Gormley Sand and Gravel Trophy. Second place went to Barb Baker from Toronto Cricket with third going to Jennifer Matalak of St. George. One game high winner went to Gwen Rogers' rink of Norma Goodhead.

So not all the standings were given. The remaining results were: Mag Ruffman placed second in the all-around senior division total standings, with the help of third place in the senior floor exercises. In the junior division, Ann McIlwaine claimed fourth place in the un- even bar competition, with Laurie Hutchinson placing fourth also, on the balance beam. And on the intermediate level, Barb Binkley placed fifth on the beam. All members of the cast, under the direction of N. Roy Clifton, should be recognized for their remarkable acting ability and success in per- fectly capturing, in movements, gesture and speech, all the charm and elegance of 18th Cen- tury England. We can only hope for such a suc- cessful play next year as well. I suppose the worst part of it all is putting everything away the next day, a very sentimental job. But it has to be done and it was all worth- while, with such great principal actors as Scott Veitch and Heather Mann as the Squire and Mrs. Hardcastle, David Phillips as Marlow, Richard Baker as Tony Lumpkin, Domenic Caruso as Hastings, etc., etc. Well, spring is here and our school play, “She Stoops to Conquer”, has ended, very suc- cessfully. The last performance was on Satur- day night (all actors did a terrific job). It was followed by the annual cast and crew party â€" a real success and a great time.
