It was a bad night for Rams’ Rick Febbo (14) shown getting attended to after stopping a puck. Rick also walked into a match penalty near the Feet on table There I was sitting contentedly with my feet on the kitchen table watching the early minutes of the 'game Sunday without a concern in the world. I was into my fourth glass of V-8 juice when someone offered to bet me. I‘m always impressed by the large turnout of fans the Tigers draw (approximately a thousand per) and the game ended in a 3-3 draw. Stood in bed My sympathy (being somewhat of a loser) went out to Rams’ Rick Later that night I overcame my remorse to travel to Aurora and watch the beloved Rams take on the Tigers in a Provincial Junior A game. - In a moment of frustration I threw my head underneath the kitchen water tap fully intending to drown myself. Luckily it was turned off. I've become fully convinced over the year that if my name was Smith or Trudeau or Rockerfeller I’d be counted among the beautiful people whose days are blessed with the sun every step they take. I was about to say nay, nay (remembering my last fatal plunged into Grey Cup betting when the Argos blew it) when the Alouettes moved in front 3-0. Took the plunge. on. an Bet on the Alouettes. It's history now. Needless to say I choked on the V-8 juice when that guy fumbled the snap with an Alouette victory seemingly wrapped up. Instead. it‘s the other way around. I not only walk in the shadow, it also rains on me. I guess you have figured out by now that I bet on the Alouettes. Edmonton, of course, won. Drat. â€" They did it to me again. When I say “they” I mean the dark con- spiracy out there that has decided that the name “Simpson” is swell for some people (like the catalogue folk) and strictly poison to me. I won’t dwell on it to the point where I become suicidal but I just have to say that Sunday’s Grey Cup game was another rip-off to me. It’s a thorn Just one of those nights There will be lots of goodies in- cluding baked goods, plants and roses, free suckers and ballons. You can even catch your own goldfish, by golly. Be there. Also be at the Richmond Hill Minor Hockey Association's big bazaar Saturday from 10 am. to 4 pm. at the Richmond Hill Arena. This is also to raise much-needed funds. The original nets were about four feet deeper which meant that there wasn’t enough room to skate behind them. Some enterprising locals by the name of Earl Methe and Doug Moore redesigned them to their present circumferences . . . etc. That‘s why they are “Art Ross-type" nets and not “Art Ross" nets. So there. Don't forget Don‘t forget that Oak Ridges Old TimerCFTO hockey game tonight (Wednesday) at 8 p.m. Some familiar old and young faces will be on hand and all benefits go to minor hockey in Oak Ridges. Be there. ‘ Iwas correct as far as I went. Was informed by one Ed Sackfield that the nets used in the Hill are im- provised Art Ross nets. A few thousand paragraphs ago I mentioned in passing that the Hill arenas (Bond Lake I specified) used “Art Ross type” nets. Shortly before the game ended Rick, probably feeling unwanted, was nailed butt-ending a Tiger. Zot. Out of the game with a suspension. There just ain’t no justice. Yes. it's true In the for what it’s worth depart- ment: Rick, who is noted for his tem- peramental outbursts, was the epitome of angelic bliss most of the night‘ So what happened? The Tigers thumped him all over the place, he stopped a shot from his own team on the proboscis and later on some unruly Tiger smeared his already burting nose with an elbow. Febbo who had a really rough hight Should of stood in bed, as they say Fred Simpson end of Sunday’s game against Aurora. Looking on is Tigers’ Paul Cappuccio (18). Game was tied 3-3.

Not Febbo night It just wasn’t Febbo's night as earlier in the game he stopped a shot on the snozzle and was generally pushed around most of the night by the ungracious Tigers. “I don‘t knbw just how 105g Febbo will be out," said Brimblecombe. “We'll just have to wait and see. It might be two or three or more games for that." - Came Sunday night in Aurora and was Rick Febbo‘s turn to walk into 'revolving door when he received mat_ch pgnalty for butt-ending.
