The local club directorate and mnembership under the capable guidance of its president are leav- ing no stone unturned to make this one of the best championship meets ever held. Assured of fine ice conditions and plenty of ice time for this meet by the arena management it is feit that a re- cord number of entries in al events will be on hand to try for the many coveted awards. The possibility of a trip ta the 1952 winter Olympics will na doubt be in the minds of many of the senior skaters, and this wil make for keen competition..

The Sports ClInic Conducted by Lloyd Percival (An Official Department of Sports College) MANOEUVERABILITY The ability to manaeuver on ice wins hockey games and nick- names, as shown by Max "Twinkletoes" Bentley of the N. H. L. Toronto Maple Leafs. The nickname part is relatively unimportant. "Butches" can win hockey games too. But they also need manoeuverability. Brawny Butch Bouchard showed that with the Montreal Canadians. He bas learned the knack of moving his bulky body into the paths of rush- ing forwards with resulting bruis- es to the forwards-and control of the puck. Star hockey players like Bau- chard and Bentley have found their ability ta manoeuver aptly in their own positions invaluable aids. The ability to skate into scorîng or defensive positions is flot a born talent. It is the result of practice - not skating practice alone but a thorough study of con- trol skating. That means cutting, not from one direction but from and toa ah directions. One of the most important as- pects o! control skating in hockey is the cross-over. It is found that some stars can reverse, cross or change direction instantaneously. Cornbined with speed and the ability to stickhandle they gen- erally are the stars who have the most goal scoring opportunities. The cross over is nothing more than cutting corners-getting to an awkward situation quickest in the best possible shape ta iitilize a break. To be effective a play- er must be able to cross bath to his right and his left. The ideai training program or workout for the hockey player who wishes to utilize his corner cutting abilities to best advantage is a square-skating. exercise. For the exercise beginners, a 40 foot square is best. It can easiiy be formed with four chairs, pucks, ori even snowbalis. As manoeuver- abiity is increased the square .shauld be decreased, first ta 30 feet then ta 20 feet. The skater moves first ta the right and then ta the lef t. After timing bis swing around the square he probabiy finds turning in one direction takes one or more seconds mare than the swing the other way. That then, is an im- mediate fault ta be practiced un- tii At is corrected. As the swings around the square become faster the skater should develop fiuid ease in cut- ting corners and changing direc- tions. With that ease cames man- aeuverability which pays off in goals for forwards and effective checks for defensemen. Studies of National Hockey League forward's performances indicate that most ice speed mer- chants take one second longer ta compiete a tour of the 40 foot square-to their weak side. But as each turn deficiency was pointed out ta the player by the infallibie stop watch he devoted extra efforts toward manoeuv- erabiiity in that direction. The resuit: improved perform- ance on bath sides of the rink. Smoother cross-avers and more effective play in the goal zones. In The Hockey Handbook, a 160,000 word instructional guide written by Lloyd Per- civai, an entire chapter is devoted ta the subject of skat- ing and its deveiopment.

Local Grouping- Finaily Seilled Dowu Io Four Clubs Wilh Firsi Game Here Dec. 291h -Reputedly on a banana peel skiddng into the grave a few short days ago, the Lakeshore In- termediate Hockey League seerns to have received an injection of hope. The Cobourg Cornets will not join the Trent Valleyî League as previously threatened, a player decision decreed, Mon- day. Lakefield is definitely out of the charmed circle this year due prirnarily to a lack of players. Most of their hockey artillery are ernployed in Peterborough and under the strict O.H.A. residence rule, which implies that a player must work as well as live in the town he plays for, Lakefield can- not ice a formidable tearn. Bowmanville Barons, the for- gotten fourth club in the loop, have practiced away, steadily irn- proving to the point of potent league contest when they meet the Port Hopers here on Saturday,i Dec. 29. Cobourg Cornets and the Redmen squabbled over play- ers; Lindsay threatened to drop out of the league if Cobourg se- ceded leaving only two (where does Bowmanville corne in?)j teams in the league, according to1 other newspapers.1 The problem is resolved, how- ever. With the exception of Bowmanville, ahl clubs in the In- termediate "A" League bave arti- ficial ice and this, together With a certain amount of secunity un- der O.H.A. jurisdiction, helped the Cornets make a decision in favor of the Lakeshore league. Cobourg Wants Orono Star Getting back to player diificul- ties, a Globe and Mail story, Dec. 18, reads: "It is possible that an Orono star mnay join the (Co- bourg) team soon but this can- flot be done under present regu- lations. despite the fact the youngster worked out here at the start o! the practice season." The Cornets have lost the services o! Coon Medhurst and Bun Flesch, both top-notch shinny players. In the seemingly forgotten Bowmanville camp, Coach Don Gilhooley de! initely asserts his club will oppose the Hiliside crew in Memorial Arena, Saturday, De- cember 29, and he is deterrnined to proceed through the league without "thinking" of dropping out. "We have too much at stake, noxv," he said. "and besides, we have a duty to Bowmanvillp hockey fans." Pele McGillen Says 9 0 p.c. Huniers Wrong in Feud With Farmers Over Open Season for Deer Hunting (By Pete McGiIIen ia The Telegram Farrn land in Southern Ontario is private property, and a hunter or angler bas no more night ta trespass than he bas ta tramp over your front iawn or your gar- den. That evidently is not gen- eraliy understood. I discovered many things that surprîsed me when I started ta investigate why farmers, and through the farmers, the township councils in south- western Ontario had apposed a deer hunt. Sure, they admitted that deer were doing harma and would probably do much more as they increased . . . but they pre- ferred the damage done by deer ta the hazards of an open deer season. My conclusion is that sports- men-farmer relations are at a low level. Writing off a few biliaus farmers who couldn't get aiong with the anges-and we have many of the sarne type in cities-the sportsmen are 90 per cent. ta blame. The evidence is that farmers opposed an open season on deer ta guard against loss ta property, livestock and their own lives. One farmer was having supper with bis wife before sundawn when a .22 builet smashed the kitchen window, caromed off a salad bowl and punctured a stave pipe. Another found one of bis steers limping and picked four pieces of bird shot out of its hip. Another one had bis callile dog shot, and stili another dlaims hunters shot and carried off two of bis tame ducks. He saw them grab the ducks and run for their car, but he was too far- away ta get the license number. Here's what one farmer said: "On the morning of the pheasant shoot, three cars parked at my gate and five hunters and two dogs got out and proceeded to ciimb over the fence, flot through the gate, which was less than 30 yards away. I toid them this wvas private property and I did not of the year with the Oshawa Fiying Club and the Port Hope Club first on the list.

Ail the schemin' and the dreamin' leaves but littie time for play, Till the hustie and the bustle hits its peak on Christmas Day: How they whisper ini the corners hidin' packages and such; And we realize without them Christmnas wouldn't niean so much- For the savin' and behavin' that the littie unes must do, Beats the shoppin' and the swappin' that we older folks go thru'.

They immedi- ately told me in a threatening manner they had bought licenses and could hunt anywhere. and no blankety-blank farmer was go- ing to stop thern. They proceed- ed te tramnp across my garden 40 yards fromn the house. Later a rifle bullet crashed through one window of my home and proceed- ed through the roorn, emerging on the other side. In my bee yard I found at least five hives that had bullet holes in them."l Another farmer, whom 1 took to at once because he is a fisher- man and a friendly fellow, said: "I have a trout streamn on my farm, properly posted with signs. Not one out of 50 has the court- esy to ask me if they may fish. They just barge in without per- mission. Surely the time it takes to knock at the door and ask per-, mission is worth a couple of hours' fishing.> I wonder how many city Joes would tolerate this behavior? This sort of nonesense, this boor- ish, arrogant disregard for the rights of property owners is go- ing to kill hunting and fishing mn Southern Ontario. You who like to get away for a few hours in the fields. or woods, or on a strearn had better make up your minds right now whether you are going to st and idly by while unprinc- ipled hoodlums who caîl them- selves sportsmen are gomng to ruin your sport. Township councils have the au- thority to stop ail hunting in their townships. Just imagine what would have happened if all the deer hunters who did flot get deer had decided toa take advant- age of an open deer season in the agricultural area of Southwest- ern Ontario. About 80,000 pur- chased licenses and roughly 35,4 got their deer. No wonder thf farmers said "no open seawsocm deer." .I Luck has a way of favoring the man who does flot count on it.: Optimism is the most satIsfac-, tory attitude we have found, the most conducive to success and happiness.
