The Squirts played well throughout the season, never suffering one loss. After Ford- wich defeated Bluevale and began the playoffs with Gorrie- Wroxeter, the latter took the best two out of three with a win of 4-3 in the last few seconds of play last Monday and the 5-2 win on Saturday. The Fordwich group felt confident of winning Saturday's game. When the Gorrie-Wrox- eter team made short work of the series in the second game the trophy was not on hand and there was about an hour's delay while it was secured, Crawford Gibson and Tom O'Krakfa are the boys' coaches with Mrs. O'Krafka giving firm support in helping with uni- forms, keeping them clean and in repair, helping to dress the younger ones and warming feet.

Just a reminder to our regu- lar bowlers that they must be present during playoffs, in order to score. The Rangers were really whooping it up. Overheard one member of the team state that they were going to really fight for last place. Giving up already, Rangers? You never can tell what you can do in the next two games. Again, we had some excel- lent scores, Dot Templeman kriltdQC4)12410 with John Power MEMBER OF OUTDOOR WRITERS OF CANADA An increasingly popular win- ter sport is ice fishing. Lake Simcoe is the Ontario hotspot and the number of huts on the lake has increased from 800 to almost 4, 500 in a matter of12 years. Those who travel up from the cities for a week- end's fishing spend an estimated $65,000 each week. It is little short of amazing that after nearly 200 years of being fished winter and summer; Simcoe consistently yields an abundance of fish. It is esti- mated that between January 15th and March 18th, 1961, the total catch amounted to 129,380 fish. Whitefish and herring con- stitute most of the catches, but lake trout are far from uncom- mon. There is a hard core of anglers who fish for nothing else. These boys usually fish in the open since they are al- ways on the move until they locate the trout. I know some of these hardy and dedicated characters who may walk up to 15 miles a day, cutting one to two dozen holes as they go. And this is often in blustery, sub -zero weather. They pick up most of their trout by jigging a metal bait such as the Lujon, which is just about the hottest ice fish- ing lure on the market. It resembles a minnow feeding on the bottom when it is jigged up and down in the proper manner., Another lure that is often dynamite on trout, especially if they happen to be at various depths, is the decoy. As the line is fed out the decoy heads for the bottom in ever -widen- ing circles just like a swim- ming fish, It can be given an erratic tantalizing motion by giving the line short jerks. There are two basic types: a metal decoy and a hand -carved decoy, which many of the vet- eran Lake Simcoe fishermen turn out. Herring and whitefish are usually caught by fishing min- nows on a spreader with the tip -up delicately balanced in a holder. Whitefish are bottom feeders and your minnows must be on the bottom if you are going to be successful. They have a soft, delicate mouth and must be brought up with a smooth, steady pull or the hooks will rip out. Equipment is a simple and inexpensive matter. It consists of a fip-up or balance stick, a spreader of the two or three hook variety and a heavy mono- filament or fly line. Most of the regulars have their own bobbing shacks but the casual fisherman who gets away fishing only occasionally through the winter, is far smar- ter to rent a hut for the day. Around Lake Simcoe there are many people in the I at - renting business and most have clean, comfortable shacks, many with thermostatically controlled propane heaters. They keep the hole chopped took the high single with 283, and Hilda Brown the high triple with 713. Ernie Walker took the high single for the men with a 314 and as well the high triple with 781. Good work, Ernie! Team standings: Bruins 102; Leafs 101; Wings 99; Rangers 86; Hawks 83; Canadiens 80. Now, only two to go! ! 1 ! I free of ice, keep it well baited with a "bed" of salted minnows, usually supply bait and tackle as well as transportation to and from your hut. One of the operators circu- lates a brochure in which he boldly proclaims, "A DAY IN ONE OF OUR HUTS IS SECOND ONLY TO A HONEYMOON". Deciding this warranted per- sonal investigation, a friend and I reserved a hut for the following Sunday. The fishing proved to be excellent but we could find absolutely no basis for the wild claims made in the brochure, Upon returning to shore at the end of the day, we had no alternative but to do our duty and report the opera- tor to the Better Business Bureau for false advertising. I feel that ice fishing brings out the hermit instinct, which is buried in all of us. It gives a chap an opportunity to be by himself with nothing but quiet and solitude. What a treat to get away from two curses of the 20th centruy, the blaring TV and the jangling telephone, Everyone needs a chance to get caught up on his sitt'n and think'n. Hunched in a 5 foot by 6 foot semi -dark hut over a pro- longed period of time can be instrumental in bringing on a rather strange malady known as cabin fever. If you are alert enough to watch for and recog- nize the symptoms, you may arrest it before it has too deep a grip on you. Ah, yes, the symptoms. It's quite OK to talk to yourself if there is no one else around and besides, where would you poss- ibly find a more intelligent listener? But if this develops into a conversation or discussion, beware. And if that tip -up tips when it doesn't, it's proof positive you'd better get out of that hut and back to civilization. This illusion is created by bobbling eye balls, which is not some- thing to be lightly brushed aside. I always wonder what is wrong with those pitiful souls who spend the entire winter perched on the hot air register in their own warm and uninter- esting little cave in some 20 story cliff. You cannot convince them to even give this ice fishing a whirl on the off chance it might make a little bit of a man out of them. They are likely to mutter, "Ice fishing leaves me cold," without tak- ing their eyes off the TV set as "Snarley" Casey, with the King-size chip on his shoulder, growls and sulks his way through another 60 minutes. These sad, lack -lustre pro- ducts of this age of conformity have not the tiniest spark of adventuresome spirit. It is this type who probably wouldn't even go out with a girl with snakes for hair, for fear of turning to stone. ROAD HOGS IN NEW YORK In 1650 there were many complaints in New Amsterdam, now New York, that untended hogs were roaming the streets and interfering with cart and wagon traffic. Governor Peter Stuyvesant enacted a law that all hogs must have nose rings.
