Rams win, lose Wexford Raiders The Richmond Hill Rams and Wexford Raiders tried it both ways last week as they split two Provincial Junior ‘A' hockey games in their first clash of the young season. It was strictly a “gen- tleman’s agreement" when the Rams edged the Raiders 4-3 in Richmond Hill Tuesday night of last week. Then came Saturday night’s return battle in Wexford and they used everything but blackjacks as the Raiders shut out the Rams 6-0 despite being outshot 47 to 30 over the three periods. Leading the embattled Ram’s forces in» that Saturday game was, as usual, Rick Febbo, who continued his long-standing feud with Wexford’s Dan Tobias. Both Febbo and Tobias just lasted as long as the first period as they ripped into one another on two occasions in that opening 20 minutes. On the second time around they were automatically ousted from the game. There were numerous other fights in the period but the above two carried away the spec- tacular awards. _ Outshot Raiders In the meanwhile, the Rams were outplaying and outsho'oting the Raiders but were running into red hot goaltending by Wexford’s Larry McIntyre. It was that way all night. Wexford was having better luck at the other end as Brian Burtch opened the scoring, at 9:45 and Nick Flore made it 2-0 at 15:39 from Bruce Carrigan and ~ Mr. Tobias. " " cliityre continued his-- brilliance in the second period as the Rams just couldn‘t dent his armor despite firing 14 shots at him. , Wexford made it 3-0 at 11:36 .on a goal by Andy Vince unassisted and again at 15:75 as Bob Keeler flashed the light from Tim Regan. McIntyre Hot The third period was a replay of the first two as McIntyre continued his wizardry. Goals by Craig MacPherson at 6:07 and Keith Acton at 14:37 put the game away for keeps. Rams again outshot Wex- ford 15-7. It was a different story Tuesday night at the Rich- mond Hill Arena as the Rams again outshot the Raiders but also outscored them after coming from behind a 2-1 deficit in the second period. Richmond Hill’s Doug Brumwell was the key factor going for the Rams as he came up with a sparkling effort in the nets throughout the game. He was particularly sharp in the final minute when a . By Fred Simpson Wexford player raced in alone and Brumwell came out to block a blast at pointblank range. He stopped 43 shots on the game. a number of them labelled. while the Rams were firing 28 at McIntyre. The Rams got good efforts from all three of their lines with newcomers Larry Kimble and Mike Rowley scoring goals along with veterans Febbo and Jimmy Clement. Marty McGeown, Carrigan and Tim Regan scored for the Raiders. No Fights It was an interesting, fast- skating game all the way with little or no signs of any ferociousness for probably the first time in the history of meetings between these two clubs. Wexford opened the scoring at 7:39 of the first period but Kimble knotted it at 1-1 with a blue-line slap shot which was in all the way. Assists went to Clement and Dave “Digger” Dunkley. Wexford moved in front at 1:16 of the second period as Carrigan picked up a rebound off a shot that Brumwell couldn't control and poked it home. The Rams took control after that as Febbo scored from Kimble and Jack Guest at 8:32 and Clement put the Rams in front 3-2 on a quick move at 11:12. He made his own play by checking a Wexford defender in front of his own net and sliding a backhander past a startled McIntyre at the same time. A relapse on the part of Richmond Hill enabled Reganto sail in unimpeded on the right wing at 15:34 and Brumwell didn’t have a chance on the high shot to the upper corner of the net. Richmond Hill won it at 12:56 of the third period while his teammates were a man short as Defenceman Guest fed a breakaway pass to Rowley and he sailed in alone to beat McIntyre with a top corner drive. Short Shots The Rams came up with probably their best effort of the season with Guest being particularly effective on defence in a return to last season’s aggressive style. Also coming up with another hustling, aggressive effort was Jimmy Graham, 3 Richmond Hill native. Graham almost scored in the final period when he rushed in alone on McIntyre but got in too close and became entangled with the latter as he slid out and ended up toppling over him. The Rams' penalty killing team of Mark Street, Guest, and Dunkley, also came up with good efforts to render the Raiders offence inef- fective on their extra man thrusts. Febbo again came To Russia with love I wasn’t intending to write anything about that recently completed Team Canada - Russian series. For a Simple reason. I'm a poor loser. Just never got used to it. Really only kidding. Losing doesn‘t hurt at all. It's a matter of con- ditioning. I haven‘t missed a meal, a round. or even a heartbeat since Team Canada lost. Maybe a heartbeat but that’s only because I missed a party the other night. Anyway, chatted with a couple of area fellows who made that “Mission to Moscow“ trek and thought I‘d share some of their ex- periences with you. Don‘t run now.

Richmond Hill now meets Aurora in a two-game goals- to-count final playoff starting this Saturday in Fleury Park at 3 pm. The return game will be at Pearson Park the following Saturday at the same time. “You could say we came out up for the game and they were a little flat,” comâ€" mented Rangers‘ Secretary Tom Young. “We got a good team effort from all the players. It was just our day." Rangers Dominate The Rangers dominated the contest from the word go and scored all of their goals in the first half and could have had three or four more except for the fine goaltending of United‘s John Slawson and some inac- curate shooting. Andy Brennen made it 1-0 for the Rangers on a nice passing play from Ian McKenna, Christy Nolan and Joe MacFarlane. He made no mistake with his low drive. Another nice passing play saw Brennen try for his second goal only to have United‘s goalie save it at the last minute. The Rangers finally broke through again as Tommy Wilson was in the right spot for a rebound and booted it high and just under the cross bar. Nolan Misses Both teams were up for the second half and Christy Nolan of the Rangers missed at least four chances to score. United sharpâ€" shooter Keith Prosser tried desperately to find the target but a closely-knit Ranger defence foiled him at every turn. “All of our squad came up with a balanced effort,“ said Young. He was especially happy with the half-back line of Leitch, White and Crabb who pressed the attack most of the game. Another fine effort came from Jan Dorst who played his best game since joining the Rangers although kept off the scoreboard. “I'd like to mention Left Fullback Mike Redlarski who was splendid on defence throughout the afternoon and made several fine rushes. He also controlled the ball on a number of occasions. He was the star of the game." Aurora Tough Young expects a tough final against Aurora although "we always seem to come up with a top effort against them.“ THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Wednesday, Oct. 16. 1974 19 Rangers oust United lay A urora in finals Richmond Hill has downed the Aurora boys twice during the regular schedule and also in tour- nament play. “Aurora is a very aggressive club,“ said Young, “so we‘ll probably try to keep a floater around midfield and look for some breakaway chances. “It‘s been a case of us being ‘up' whenever Aurora is ‘up'. When they play badly we play badly. But we‘ll have to come up with the same team play if we Hey! A Chorus § Line?? hope to have the edge on them.“ said Young. 50-50 Dra w Richmond United will be holding it‘s “end of season“ dance November 1 and is running a 50-50 draw with proceeds to go toward purchase of soccer equipâ€" ment. Tickets are available from Club President Andrew Graham at 338 Demaine Crescent. Rich- mond Hill. or by phoning 884-1209. Tickets may also be purchased from team members. \ xxx No, it isn‘t a kick linein some musical chorus line despite the bare legs. It’s some heated action during last Saturday’s Richmond Hill Ranger and Richmond United soccer playoff game at Pearson Park. Shown (left to right) are Mervyn Evans of the United squad and Richard Crabb of the Rangers. The Rangers won 2- 0 and advanced into the Newmarket and District Soccer League finals against Aurora.

(Studio That Comes To Your Home) Carpenter Bantam ffinals tied â€"face sudden death The Richmond Hill Carpenter Bantams were edged 5-4 by Port Perry Thursday night of last week in Port Perry to tie their best-ofâ€"three York Ontario Simcoe softball league finals at one game apiece. Richmond Hill opened the series with a narrow 3-2 win Wednesday night of last week at the town park. The final “sudden death" game was slated to be played Monday of this week at Port Perry. Richmond Hill won the northern division of the league while Port Perry took the southern honors. Richmond Hill drew first blood in that second game scoring two runs in the top of the second inning when Greg MacMillan was safe on an error and Dan Girard smashed a line drive shot to right field which evaded the Port Perry player with both runners scoring. Port Perry tied the score in the third inning and went ahead by one run in the fourth. They increased their lead to 5-2 in the sixth for the biggest lead in the series. The Carpenters got back into the game in the eighth with Paul Philip leading off with a ground ball that was thrown away for an error. Chris Nye, pinch-hitting for Pete Tipold, then lined a single. Glen Moreland lined a drive off the leg of the Port Perry third baseman with both runners scoring. Moreland ended up on second but the Port Perry hurler bore down to retire the next three batters. Great Stab Richmond Hill‘s Philip made a fantastic play at short on a line drive ear- LET GEORGE DO IT! ERIC GEORGE for Regional Councillor marked for a hit in the eighth inning jumping high into the air to grab the ball. Trailing by a single run going into the ninth inning, Girard worked the Port Perry pitcher for his third walk of the game. However, Richmond Hill was unable to get the runner beyond first and the series was tied. Girard and Moreland divided the four runs~batted~ in. Single runs went to Philip, Nye, MacMillan and Girard. The five hits gar- nered by the Carpenters were divided between Philip, Chris Nye, Macâ€" millan and Girard. Pitcher Moreland was touched for six hits while walking three and striking out 11 batters. The opening game was a close one as expected since both teams had comparable records during regular season play. Both were undefeated. Open Scoring Richmond Hill opened the scoring when Catcher Chris DeGeer led off the second inning with a double and was plated on a double by Centrefielder Greg Walton. Port Perry scored single runs in the third and fourth inning to take a 2-1 lead. The Carpenters tied the score in the fifth on a single by Shortstop Philip and another one by Moreland. The score remained 2-2 until the eighth when DeGeer coaxed a free pass from the Port Perry pitcher. There were two out when Walton smacked a single with DeGeer stopping at second. DeGeer then broke for second and came home as they throw from the catcher sailed into left field. That was the winning run. Port Perry got a runner to third in the ninth but Moreland fanned the final batter. Richmond Hill scored its runs off six hits and five walks and one error. Pitcher Moreland was in excellent form despite a long layoff as he fanned 25 Port Perry batters while giving up two runs on four hits and three walks. I Need more land ball diamond Richmond Hill will be making representation in November to the Canadian Amateur Softball Association in Calgary to host the 1975 Canadian Senior Men's Softball Championships. Extension of the Town Park ball diamond would be necessary to accommodate the facilities for this tour- nament, requiring the use of the south end of the Richâ€" mond Hill Lions property. Following a meeting in Mayor William Lazenby's office September 30 the Lions were notified of this requirement and if the association's decision is favorable further discussions will be held. The proposed work at the park includes removal of existing light standards, present bleachers and berms to provide a ground level surface for new bleachers and replacement of light standards, com- pletion of snack bar im- provements, erection of a new six foot chain link'fence some 50 feet out from the present outfield fencing to provide an enclosure in which temporary bleachers can be erected, installation of new lights, extension of backstop, installation of fenced players boxes and permanent bleachers for 1,000 seats at a total Cost to the town of $37,063. The ball association will be responsible for rental of 4,000 bleacher seats at an estimated $15,000. Glen Philips told council October 10 that it is an- ticipated that some 52,500 people will attend the seven day event, and estimated a revenue of $78,750 or more. The CASA and the RHBA will each get 25 per cent or $19.690 with the town getting $39,370. Some of the im- provements will be carried out this fall. the remainder n e x t y e a r .
