CANADIENS KNEE DEEP iN TALENT
Business is booming once again in the Nation-
al Hockey League. The six -team pack has already
clipped its feet into the prolonged 70 -game '59-'60
schedule as some clubs (as this is written) have play-
ed two and three games. Almost everybody and their
uncle have chosen Montreal Canadiens to finish first
in the standings. The reason is so obvious that its
almost a waste of time to dwell on the subject. How-
ever, to sum it up briefly, one just has to look at the
power -laden lineup Canadiens' Coach Hector "Toe"
Blake can ice. Unless something drastically happens,
such as the Richards, Moore, Beliveau, Geoffrion,
Harvey and the rest of then suddenly quit to take
up ping pong, General Manager Frank Selke should
have his fifth Stanley Cup resting in the Forum next
April. The so-called experts are so sure that the Can-
adiens will wind up on top that the Hockey News,
sometimes called hockey's bible, picked the Canucks
to finish first in 15 out of 18 ballots. The other three,
who must be scratching their heads by now, gave
the nod to Chicago, Boston and New York. The six -
team standings went like this via the Hockey News:
Montreal, Chicago, Toronto, Boston, New York and
Detroit.
As far as we're concerned it will be Montreal,
Toronto, Boston, Chicago, Detroit and New York in
that order.
MAPLE LEAFS GOOD ENOUGH FOR SECOND?
Choosing Toronto Maple Leafs to finish second
may surprise a number of our readers. However, we
have a strong hunch that the Maploes are on, the
move again. And it's not just because they won their
pair of opening games against the Hawks. Although
Coach Punch Imlach carries a scarcity of hair under
his chapeau, he is certainly a real mastermind in
driving his serfs. Last winter Punch stirred up his
mates so much. that they won their last five outings
to nose out the Rangers for the fourth and final
Stanley Cup playoff berth. After making the money
series, the Leafs didn't stop until they met Canadiens
for the Stanley Cup. Montreal more or less toyed
with Conn Smythe's working machine as the men
were separated from the boys. Imlach didn't have the
bench strength to cope with the Canadien crew and
his regulars were many in the rookie line.
This semester could be different and this is
why we have the hog town club perched in second.
Punch has added some badly needed depth in Gary
"Duke" Edmundson, Johnny Wilson, Al MacNeil and
Ted Hampson. The other, like Carl Brewer, Bobby
Baun, Ehman, Mahovolich and the rest, have gained
another year's experience and they could be tough.
Undoubtedly these fellows have gained poise and
confidence after their Stanley Cup fling last spring.
Our most important reason for picking the Leafs so
high is the fact that they are in the best shape any
Leaf club has been in for the beginning of a sched-
ule. Last season, Toronto had to play four games
before they won their first. Already they have two
important wins under their belts. If the "Punchmen"
are a week or two ahead of the other clubs in their
conditioning programme, and it looks as though they
are, these easy points in the first week or two of the
schedule will look mighty big at the close.
Boston is third mainly because of the "Uke"
line. This high flying trio should Give Milt Schmidt
many restful nights. The big question mark is goal-
tending. If it stands up, they are good for the number
three position.
Last playoff position will be grabbed by
Chicago. The Hawks have plenty of youthful legs on
their club and one of the league's best netminders
in Glen Hall. Detroit Red Wings, with old reliable
Gordie Howe and a mixture of rookies and veterans,
should evade the cellar this year. With someone like
Howe leading the way, it should give the rest some-
thing to shoot for.
Fiery Phil Watson should be worse than ever this
season, as to us his Broadway Blueshirts look to be
going nowhere fast.
CUFF CLEANERS -- We bumped into veteran Bill
Walsh of the ice lanes in Stratford this week and
William, tells us that he is seriously thinking of don-
ning the blades once more. Now that Stratford is
entering the hockey picture again, he wouldn't mind
teaming up with them. Before he can do this, he has
one knot to untie and that is getting the O.K. from
the chief of police. Bill is on the department now
. Chicago White Sox performed like a bunch of
"'ham and eggers" in the Worlit Series with L.A.
However, I guess we shouldn't condemn • them too
much as they certainly didn't have the reserve bench
strength to poke that long ball. Sports Illustrated
picked L.A. over Chicago if the two clubs met and
said that the "Go -Go" boys would knock off Mil-
waukee or San Francisco. We'll learn to go with the
experts. The series cost us a buck (10 cups of coffee)
to Don Southcott ... One guy, rated as a solid hit-
ter, really surprised us. His name is Billy Goodman.
In three or four pinch-hit appearances, Billy looked
like yours truly at the plate. I don't think he even
fouled off a pitch. You certainly can't win a series
with stuff like that. As Luis Aparicio said, maybe I
can steal second and third, but I can't steal first!
Got to hit to get there! ... Lucan arena is hum-*
ming to the clamor of hockey sticks and skates as
teams are holding continuous workouts on the ice.
Lucan is the first rink in these parts to introduce
the winter sport this season.

dropped their third consecutive
game of the '59 Perthex Confer.
ence Football League schedule
in Listowel Tuesday afternoon
when the homesters ran up a 10-0
victory.
Carlyle Hymers, 17 -year-old
halfback in his second season of
senior football for Listowel,
scored all of his winner's points.
Hymers, who also excels in hoc-
key over the winter months,
booted four singles and carried
over for a major,
2.0 at the half
Listowel High led the ballgame
2-0 at half time. Hyhiers kicked
a pair of first quarter singles
from the 15 and 25 yard lines.
Second quarter was scoreless al-
though South Huron did threaten
on two occasions getting down to
the 10 and 15 yard lines before
being held.
In the third quarter, quarter-
back Neil Eckel fired a screen
pass to fullback Hymers who
scampered 30 yards to pay dirt.
Although the convert was
missed, Hymers easily chalked
yard line.
The fourth and final quarter
saw Hymers collect his tenth
point of the afternoon after boot-
ing a single from the visitor's
30 yard line.
The 10.0 decision over South
Huron marked the second time in
the schedule that Listowel has
come out on top in clashes be-
tween the two clubs. In the Pan-
ther's opening game of the sche-
dule at South Huron, Listowel
walked off with a 14-7 decision,

Panthers were no match for
Stratford Collegiate Ramblers
under the lights at National
Stadium Thursday night as they
suffered their worst beating in
years by dropping a 40-0 mara-
thon.
It was strictly a Stratford show
all the way as the winners scored
a major in the first quarter and
added three more converted
touchdowns in the second to
lead 27.0*a't the half. An uncon-
verted third-quarter TD and a
converted fourth quarter major
finalized the scoring,

Left halfback Pete Hiller was

point wise at least, as he surged

ed three converts. Other majors
went to halfback David Doxey,
Director's views
The values of recreation
By LARRY HEIDEMAN
Recreation is to me any activ-
ity, or performance on my part
of any sort, that enables me to
relieve all the pent-up emotions
that I accumulate from this
world that we call civilization.
Some of these personal activi-
ties a n d performances are:
hockey, broomball, horseshoes,
television, reading, cards, golf
and music, to name only a few.
All of these recreational med-
iums offer to me in one form or
another, a chance to participate,
examine, experiment, a release
of tensions, ideas, education,
pleasure, and a more complete
outlook on life.

perials who are all jammed in
a three-way tie for second,
While Cromarty Rollers and
Imperials were held to one point
by Kippen Tigers and Bankmonts
respectively, Upstarts surged for-
ward to force the three-way
deadlock by stalling G.M.'s with
a 3-1 count.
In the "A" section, Windmills
continued their red-hot pace with
a 4-0 win over Tradesmen, W.
Davidson's 727 was high for the
winners while Eric Heywood top-
ped the losers with a 630 per-
formance.
Red's Billiards and Milkmen
each copped three points to keep
pace with each other in the bat-
tle for second place by downing
Pepsi's and Big Six.
Rockets, who took three from
the Wildcats, moved into sole
possession of fourth place with
10 points.

pate in, is that I always have to
win, which as you know, can
not be so, and should not be so.
I believe that through the par-
ticipating of these activities that
they have honestly educated my-
self to accept defeat with grace
and also, an appreciation of my
opponents' ability.
My observations and feelings
about various groups, individu-
als, service clubs, churches, etc.,
is that they should all combine
their talents and work together,
hand in hand, towards recrea-
tion. They all use recreation at
some time or another, usually
with this thought in mind and
that is "of furthering their own
needs". One of the main faults
of service clubs, and churches,
is the weakness of measuring
the recreation progress by fig-
ures or by the financial state-
ment. Rather, results should be
measured by growth of char-
acter of individual members
and as a whole.
My feelings towards recreation
is that if it can accomplish a
wholesome growth of character
and all of the other things
mentioned earlier, which I sin-
cerely believe that it can, that
recreation is definitely a good
thing if used properly. If it is
used strictly for financial gain,
it ceases to be recreation to me
and becomes a task of work
and drudgery with very few
benefits.
I believe that recreation can
be overdone if one participates
in too many activities. You get
to the point where you are rush-
ing from one thing to another,
going through the motions, but
not really enjoying yourself and
not receiving the maximum bene-
fits that could be derived if you
participated in only a few pro-
grammes of your own choice.
Some of the benefits that
could be received from recrea-
tion are: peace of mind, feel-
ings of honesty, fair play, re-
spect for the rights of others,
racial and religious tolerance,
patience, understanding, health,
happiness, changed attitudes and
feeling s, companionship and
wholesome contacts with the op-
posite sex, opportunity to belong
to a group, desirable attitudes,
skills, habits, appreciation.
I believe recreation will take
its proper place in society if we
can prove to the communities
its values. Not on attendance
figures as to how many people
attended our civic centres and
playgrounds, but the results in
the individual as a result of
their recreation experience. Rec-
reation must justify itself in
terms of human values by its
contribution to the health, hap-
piness and social efficiency of
those who participate.

Dogs chase
Poppettes
Pin Poppettes continue to hold
a five point lead in the Exeter
Ladies Bowling League but Hot
Dogs are coming fast.
The Dogs, behind Mary Holtz -
man's 719 triple; ripped into the
Merry Maids for seven points to
climb into a two-way tie for sec-
ond place with the Happy Gals.
Despite Norma Coleman's 648
performance, Gals had difficulty
with Wee Hopes as they came
out on the short end of a 5-2 de-
cision.
With the Hot Dogs picking up
seven and the Happy Gal two,
the five point gain by the Dogs
gives them a share of second
place,
Jblly Jells, only one point back
of the second place clubs with
25, had a real battle on their
hands with the Mighty Mice but
finally won out 4-3. Alma Presz-
cator was high for the Jills while
E. Morley paced the Mice.
Holtzman, Skinner win
Mary Holtzman and G. Skinner
won the top bowling awards of.
the week for high single and hid-
den score respectively.
