24 â€" THE LIBERAL. Wednesday, Nov. 27, 1974 ...Sports... lContinued from Page 23) Why? Now I ask myself. Why do they draw $1,000 fans in Aurora and only a tops of 500 in Richmond Hill? Especially when the Rams (although not as high in the standings) have a very solid club and are doing Very well. Someone suggested that there was nothing else to do in Aurora on a Sunday night. I don’t believe that. Richmond Hill isn’t exactly the “Riviera of the Western World” on Sunday or any other nights. So what's wrong? I'm afraid it is doomed to remain a mystery. If the Rams can’t draw with a winning team (as they’ve had for the past five or six years) what’s going to happen with a losing team? Makes one shudder. Seriously though. It would be nice to see the joint packed one of these nights. Remember back in the early days when the then Junior “B” Rams played off with the powerful Markham Waxers? The arena was packed, swelling off its pilings. Ah, nostalgia. Maybe, just maybe it’ll happen again one of these nights. Rec types Finally, word has it that a curling rink com- prising four Richmond Hill types swept away with the annual “Recreation Bonspiel for the Charles Weir Memorial Fund” championship Monday at Humberside. Against 28 other teams, yet. Heading the team was Skip Shaun Beggs followed by Vice Bill Rice; Second Dave Hamilton, and Lead Lynton Friedberg. The bonspiel attracted recreation personnel from all over the area. Hamilton is the local director of Parks and Recreation and Friedberg is superintendent of recreation in Richmond Hill. Shaun, of course is on the parks committee and Bill is town treasurer. Lynton, incidentally, had never curled previously. Congrats. ‘ Hillvtrack‘ club awards night The Richmond Hill Athletic club will hold its annual meeting and awards night tonight (Wednesday), at the Blue Flame on Elgin Mills Road East. Among the awards to be presented will be the mite athlete, tyke, atom and club athlete of the year. The “Club Athlete” will be selected from the entire membership and will receive the “Athlete of the Year” trophy. Club plans for the indoor season will also be presented along with the appointing of a steering committee for 1975. The steering committee is a new departure for RHAC and is designed to bring more people into the planning of track and field. Mrs. L. Paxton, Bob Mark, Tom Murphy, Bob Thompson, Bill Alexander and Al Workman will be the adult advisors, while the athletic membership will appoint three members from the club to represent their interests. Thompson, the unofficial chairman of the club over the past two years, feels the steering committee will provide new stimulus and ideas for track and field and upgrade the coaching and ‘ organization for the coming season. John Monk will present the plans for indoor training and competition which are slated to commence in December. It. is proposed that the local club will train throughout the winter in the town area, and travel to Toronto and Hamilton for the numerous indoor meets scheduled for the new year. Increased club ap- plication fees for the use of the indoor facilities at the CNE has deemed it necessary to find training quarters within the region and the announcement of these indoor training areas will be the major part of Monk’s report. Through the generosity of the Consumers’ Gas Company the meeting will be held in their “Blue Flame” room on Elgin Mills Road East. Coffee will be served by female members of the RHAC at 7:30 pm. Bill Milley returns Key members who have already signified their in- tentions to return for VOTE FOR another year of competition have been Bill Milley, premier shot put com- petitor, Dianne Diggens and Liz Srebrnjak, two excellent sprinters and jumpers, middle distance runners Bruce Cook, Mike Bells, Jeff Bells, Fred Robbins, and Laurie Stockall. . The throwing competitors who have expressed their involvement for 1975 are Cheryl Paxton, Jane Toporowski, John Monk, Rick Murphy and Richard Lappenna. Long and high jumpers will be headed by Leslie Rogers, Jim and Kathy Mark, and Rick Buchan. Returning for their second year of competition will be Daniela Tosoni, Sandra Diggiachinnio, Martin Wildberger, Alan Thomas and Phil Tarrant. lndoorseason Interest in the coming indoor season has also been expressed by many young athletes who intend to become involved for the first time with the Rich- mond Hill club. Middle distance runner Nancy Hamilton will be switching allegiance from the Toronto Olympic Club to Richmond Hill. Jane Shorten will transfer from Collingwood, and a number of members from the North York Track Club have shown interest in moving north to participate with the local team. King City interest Interest from the King City area, where a number of Richmond Hill residents attend high school, has been evident, and the possibility of a training program during the outdoor season being held in the King City area is tentatively planned. The expected increase in participation will severely overload the coaching ex- pertise available, and the RHAC is most interested to hear from local citizens who have an interest in the track and field sport who would be available for the spring and summer competitions. Richmond Hill Athletic Club was formed to en- courage and promote track and field in the region of Richmond Hill, and Club Secretary Bill Alexander may be reached at 226-2732. EXPERIENCE MON. DEC. 2nd B yview ’outwrestles’ foes A team of Bayview Secondary School wrestlers won a triâ€"meet here Wed- nesday afternoon of last week without the help of their “little” big gun by name of Gary Dunford. Dunford. who has been runner-up in Ontario in the 98-pound intercollegiate division, didn't compete but one of his teammates won it anyway. That was Dick Charge of Bayview who took the 98- pound competition by default after winning the first round with a pin over one opponent from King City before decisioning Lacey of Aurora by a decision in the second round. It was his win along with a Bayview wins basketball A 22 point scoring output by Paul Jarvie helped take the 1973 York County champion Bayview Secondary School Senior basketball team to an exhibition 67412 win over Stouffville Friday afternoon of last week at Bayview. Jarvie's effort was ably backed up by Trent McCabe who dropped in 17. Other scorers were James Turner with 12 and Marty Arm- strong with eight. High scorer for Stouffville was Jim Rodin. The Cliff Nuttall-coached seniors open their regular league schedule in January. They won all the honors last year and look to have another powerhouse entry this time out. Alliance nios Barrie 3-2 game It took Barrie just four minutes and 21 seconds to open the scoring against the Richmond Hill Alliance Sports last week but the final score saw them losing 3-2. Alliance continued its recent habit of saving their most pleasing performances for “out of town” games and this one was no exception. That first goal saw Barrie's Mark Potts stepâ€" ping out of the penalty box to score on a clear cut breakaway. Mike Woods tied it for Richmond Hill early in the second period on a set up by Dave Berseth to set the stage for Rick Sackfield’s go-ahead goal from Bob Russell. The score remained at 2-1 until late in the third with Richmond Hill playing over three and a half minutes two men short due to penalties. Wayne Fisch of Barrie bounced one in off the post past Gerry Tipold to tie it. Alliance Sports” winning goal came off the stick of Berseth assisted by Don MacPhee and Rick Sack- field. It was only fitting that Berseth picked up the winner as his performance for the entire evening had been outstanding. It was a 13-4 romp for the Alliance boys over Orillia November 18 as the team is starting to look like the top club by far in the York Simcoe Juvenile League. Scott Davey was the top point collector in this game as he picked up four goals and an assist. John Oakley followed with two goals and three assists. Also adding to their point production were Mike Wood, five assists; Don MacPhee, two goals, two assists; Tom Lamb, two goals, two assists; Bob Russell, two goals, one assist; Tony Robinson, one goal, one assist; Arnold Vanderweyde. two assists, with single assists going to Jeff Miller and Jeff Switzer. number of others that enabled the heavily favored Bayview mat-sters to chalk up a total of 85 points to 46 for Aurora and 35 for King City Secondary School. York championships The meet was another warm-up for the York County Secondary School championships to be held in February. Winners in that one go on to the Ontario finals to be held this season in London, Ontario. The aforementioned Dunford also won top provincial honors in the free style competitions at the 95 pound level. “Dunford is probably one of the better wrestlers in the province in the 98 pounds weight bracket.“ said Bayview's head wrestling coach Larry Johnson who guides the team with the assistance of Don McNair. Dunford was also an in» tercollegiate all star pick. Another promising newcomer in the 123 pound class is Steve Penyige who is also a brown belt holder in judo. “This is Steve’s first year Legion Midge ts nail Thornhill Richmond Hill Legion Midgets hosted their neighâ€" bors to the south November 24 and trounced Thornhill 7- 4 in an important league game. Two previous en- counters had ended as 2-2 ties. The Legion took a twoâ€" goal lead by the end of the first period on goals by Mike Cox on passes from Mark Brillinger and Glen Tatum and by Danny Jones from Randy Martin and Mike Gallaugher. Thornhill got one goal back early in the second period, only to have the Legion take command with three goals before the end of the second period. Jones countered with two, while Mike Ham picked up the other. Assists went to Mike Gallaugher, Robert Dynes. David Earl, Ross Middleton KMART- ~ --, REG. enter; -. ' " and Randy Martin. The Legion were out- scored 3-2 by Thornhill in the third period mainly because of the greater number of penalties called against the Legion. Twelve penalties were assessed to the Legion in this period. compared to two for the Thornhill crew. Jones got his fourth goal at 1:13 of the third. assisted by Earl. At the 12:28 mark Ham got his second aided by Robert Wallingford and Randy Martin. In this period Wallingford was robbed by the Thornhill goalie on a number of occasions. In fact, he had nine shots on goal in this one period. Goalkeeping duties for the Legion were shared by Mike Doyle and Ben Bourget. Coming Up: Newmarket here next Sunday at 1 pm.

Other results Other results in various classifications: Kevin Higgs of Bayview won the 106 pound class by taking the first round by default against Aurora and then pinning John Pitkin of the King City to win the division. Another Bayview wrestler, Larry Gallone, took the 115 pound class decisioning Rusty Fidler of Aurora in the final round. Steve Gibson of Bayview had to fight his way to victory in the 130 pound class as he started off by pinning his first opponent and then despatching with Poulis of King City and also pinning him. The 136 pound class saw Steve Bullivant decisioning Jim Gibson of King City before suffering a nose injury in the final round against Heade of Aurora and being forced to default the match.
