In order that it may give its 340 members more time in which to ski the Oshawa Ski Club has recently completed erecting floodlights which will light the practice slope hills and the area about the club house at the property at Raglan. Two huge reflectors will house two 1,000-watt | | bulbs, giving a total of 4,000 watts which, together with the added re- flection from the sr will give adequate light for sk at night. The club house itself will with light supplied from the same power line which was this summer erected and connected to the hydro line which runs along the highway past the property entrance With the exception of some valuable help and advice from Ontario Hydro linemen, all the work was done hy club members.

Tussles By SYDNEY GRUSON Canadian Press Staff Writer The East reaches the end of the football schedules tomorrow with only one playoff spot still open, and it is as surprising as anything that happened this season to find Tor- onto Argonauts having to battle right to the wire for a chance to go at Ottawa Rough Riders again. These are diffiuclt if not altogeth- er evil days for the once-so-mighty Men of Hayman. They can lose to- morrow against Montreal and still make it, tut they must win to be absolutely safe from the provincial Union.

With floodlights the amount of skiing members may do can increased considerably. Jump Built A jump built near the club house is;another improvement made to the | facilities this year. The jump, from which it will be possible to make up | to 50-foot leaps, is situated on the hill known as Ben's Bumps. Earth was built up or levelled off to give the jump a take-off and out-run | as near-perfect as possible.

BOWMANVILLE Alexander Pk. SATURDAY 2.30 Admission 10¢ { | The executive has up to this year | tactfully deferred erection of a jump | due, mainly to the cost of construc- tion and the risks inexperienced skiers will take just for the sake of "making a jump." However, the clamor for a jump has become. so loud that the executive gave in, with the thought in mind that with three years of skiing behind them, and with the reminder, "ski safely" constantly before them, members would be.cautious enough for their own good. The jump is small, of course, hut then, to start at the bottom of the ladder, it is thought, is the proper course. In future years as the jumpers improve and want longer jumps, the executive hopes to be able to provide the larger struc- tures. # Instructors' School The Oshawa club will be hosts to the Central Ontario Ski Zone school for instructors this season. The plans are as yet in the embryonic stage, but from recent announce- ments the school, which be held over some week-end in mid-season, will be more successful than the past two schools. Last year, the tests were given at Collingwood's Blue Mountain club and two years ago at Kitchener's Chicopee club. | MCINTYRE MINERS WI FROM ATLANTIC CITY 7-4 Timmins, Nov. 8.--McIntyre Min- | ers took the first four minutes of | play on went on to a 7-4 victory | over Atlantic City Sea Gulls in an exhibition hockey match here Wed- nesday night.
