DOWNSVIEW int?s & BGiutns. 227 227 178 175 5s 152 149 147 128 115 N2 WESTON, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, JANUARY 5TH, 1917 Holiday season is over once more and we can settle down to do someâ€" thing. For some little time efforts were directed to the formation of a club to look after the development of ‘Weston Red Cross campaign and the holiday rush put it to one side. It has been pointed out that a strong united and representative body â€" of Weston men could accomplish much if organized. Orgarized efforts with the united town has placed Weston as second to none when stirred.. These facts aro recognized ‘here and other places. ; It is also Rnown that severâ€" al good opportunities for the growth and development of, Weston have for several reasons slipned through » to other points. So as to sécure a great«â€" er Weston wo must become united. ‘There are several propositions for a good, live, active clult to handle, These can be discussed anc out of the unitâ€" ed discussion some Sefinite plan can be adopted and put. into . effect. The first step necessary is to have a half dozen ‘or nrore men of the town get together. and organize. To do this we would asle all interested and willing ‘to talk the matter over some evening, to hard their names inâ€" to the Times & Guide office before January 12. Jan. 5 or 17â€"Brampton vs. Weston. Jan. 12â€"Weston vs. Brampton. Jan. 17â€"â€"Brampton vs. Weston. Jan. 24â€"â€"Weston vs. Brampton, The opening game will be played toâ€"night on the Weston rink. The loâ€" cals are looking for a victory. THE INTERMEDIATE The boys were not at all proficient in their use of the boards or how to stop a man coming down. All these points are necessary to the developâ€" ment of a good team. The boys tried several three men combination rushes, but were too slow on their passes and not ready for the rebounds, The team will give a good account of itself if the boys settle down to practice and work out the details. Let everyone do whatever they can to help along the boys. Give them every assistance and support. The. Town of Mt] »ennis has the honor of contributing a large number of eligible men to the service of their country, and appears to be justly proud of its contribution. It has even went to theo expense of giving A, gala sendâ€"off to units leaving for foreign parts, which is only right and deâ€" serving. But evidently here the matâ€" ter ends, as they do not seem to exâ€" pect these men to return again to their town. But probably a few of them will return. Have not theso few who survive the struggle and return home the right to a better reception than a handshake and a glad to see you back reception? It does not seem like it When he arrives home the fact is not even known about town until he is able to walk around. He cannot even arrive home until he is furnished transportation by the City of. Toronto or pays his own fare on the St. Railway. When he is brought to the notice of the town dignitaries he is given all kinds of promises of remunerative positions which will be waiting for him when he receives his discharge and is able to again take up civilian life. But what is the reâ€" sult? When he is able to go to work he finds that he has been misled by a lot of political promises and he finds it necessary to look for a position himself, whether he is physically able to do it or not. . The fact that he sacrificed everything for the sako of those who glpdly s«nt him away he is supposed t/. forg_}, and resume his formen qiviliéf’n l1 S ;FHefore ho left: In spite of theseâ€"eireumstances he is asked to help recruiting in every way by reciting his experience and is supâ€" posed to do everything in his power to bring /men to the colors, and they wonder ‘why he does nothing. Is it not up to them to do something first? J. E. TRIPE. Editor The Times & Guide One of the faults of our boys was their failure to back check. Every game of hockey demonstrates that backâ€"checking is most effective. The team that can check back will take a lot of beating. ‘Stick close to your man, watch the puck and always be ready for the opportunity. In the second and third period the Weston boys made a much better fight of it. The defence were not so easily drawn away from their nets. They checked their men and skated them to the corners, and kept the score down. Wilson was not allowed to run loose so much, nor did the boys try to run out and meet him. The team were not slow to take advantage of the experience gained in the first period. The game closed with the score standing 14 to 1. Aura Lee‘were at home in the first quarter and our boys were lost on the large ice surface. It seemed that they could not get going at all. The team were not in good condition, while Aura Lee were apparently in much better shape, knew the ice surface and showed the effects of proper training and coaching. While they did not play as they will, they showed bursts of speed and combination. Several times they broke away in nico twoâ€"man combinations. Their defence was not called upon to do much but handled alf‘x attempts to get near their goal well. The local boys were not specâ€" tators at the game. While the score registered against them in the first period was eight to one, the score did not altogether indicate the play. The local. Junior O. H. A. team made their initial appearance at the Arena on Saturday afternoon. They were rather unfortunate in drawing the Aura Lee team first. Aura Lee last year‘s champions, were considerâ€" ed a weak team, but with Harry Watâ€" son and McCullough on they are no weaklings. Harry Watson was the star of the game. His speed, brilliant rushes and magnificent stick handling was a treat. He is billed to play with the seniors this year. WESTON LOSE FIRST O.H.A. GAME RE SOLDIER‘S RECEPTION WHAT DO YOU sSAY?
