‘‘ SPORTS AND RECREATION\@s®®Es: The junior boys ran up a 4â€"2 win on the cttenith of Kenn?l Harris‘ four tallies, but the seniors went C~ kHown to a 5â€"0 defeat before their more experienced opponents. THURSDAY, OOTOBER 24, 1946 Two soccer teams of the Weston public schools travelled to Brampâ€" ton on Snturdag for exhibition tilts with the Brampton squads and returned with one win and & In the first ghnma Weston opened the scoring when Harris took a ‘ fi:u from Draper and Lawson to at the Brampton goalie. Ten minutes later Brampton tied up the wme when Buchanan beat Jack atson on a penalty shot. In the second half, Harris again tallied before Brlmdpton scored their second tally and in the last ten minutes Harrig tallied twice more to give the visitors their twoâ€" goal advantage. yove ol Sharing honors with Harris were Jack Lawson, Carl Draper and Orâ€" lando Martini. Jack Watson played a strong game in goal. _ _ _ Weston lineâ€"up: Jack Watson, goal; C. Dnfier and Oflando Marâ€" tini, full backs; Jim Simmons, Vie Braun, Bruce Bain, half backs; Ken Harris, centre; Jack Lawson, Bill Bain, Earl Williamson and Dave Hatton, forwards. _ _ . _The seniors found the nslins attack and the heavy chching_ 0 their opgonents too much as they came off the field with a 5â€"0 deâ€" feat as McCandless for the winners turned the hat trick with three counters. In Brampton, Jack Dane has a flourishing sixâ€"team league going, with bo]ys picked from those wishing to play soccer from 10 f'ears to 15 years old. From the ooks of things on Saturday, he and his coaches have done a very good piece of work with the yom‘filters. The passing plays of the winners {Jroved a stumblin(f block to the Weston boys and their better knowledge of positions gave them the advantage time and time again.

What are you going to put in your musket mouth to replace them? The latest ugort on the heavier calbre shells shows stocks to be as scanty as a ‘cheer leader‘s skirt and from all the local ammo dealers have to say, there is little chance . of improvement on the situation. A number of the lads going north this year are seriously taking up the |tudly of the penetrating power of spilt peas and those hard white beans. But there‘s one group of inâ€" dividuals in town who are chortling up their sleeve for the ammo llhorttace doesn‘t bother them in the east. Such a group are all members of the Hunting and Field Archers Association of Ontario and within a few weeks time are heading for the jack pine country in quest of game. "Hah!" you say. “Wl'xa1 go all the w.,ynlép there to hunt the lowly rabbit and ground hog. Aren‘t the ones in this neck of the woods good enough for them ?" _ 80 It seems however that these lads aren‘t after the‘denizens of the pasture. Instead, scoff if you like, they‘re after black bear, moose and dear an l what is more importantâ€" they get them too. But let us advise you now. Field archery is a game far different than sriping with a rifle. If you‘re one of those lads partial to 500 yard scope shots then don‘t take up the bow and arrow. You won‘t like it. Although quite new to the sportsâ€" men of this country, the art of a stalking big game with nothing between you and annihilation but a strong right arm, (or left as the case may be), & hunti:di bow and a quiver of broadhe is fast catching on. _ _ _ _ _ _ ||.__ RO8S HAWTHORNE _ || Rattle the mothballs out of the Frk as Jcndomcn for "Yoicks and ‘alley Ho!", the hunting season is with us ulfn. First formed in 1941 the aforeâ€" mentioned organization is now g:ining recognition in the province aring the label of true sport. The pictorial black eye archery has gained with the, traditional picture of a curvaceous creature dressed in two brief interruptions from her Eink toe nails to peroxide locks, with a bow in one hand and the other member resting lightli one a gray goose shaft sun squarely into the middle of the bull, has indeed been a hard one to shake. How can you expect to interest any sportsmen with archery as the setting for a cui)tion under the picture along the lines of: "I‘m all aâ€""quiver" over all the "bullseyes" As a result five years ago in this country the following &uestion, quote: "What do you think of archery ?" raised re{liea ranging from, "Whatcha think I am, Robin Hood and one of his merry Hiawathas?" _ To, "Archery ... I dunno . .. what race?" made... with mfi/\ "bows" since I changed to other Snodgrass‘s nonâ€"skid lipstick. Ns Toâ€"day however each year more and more people are turning to the bow, not only for hunting but for target competitions, The sport is growing fast. The archery of toâ€"day is a far cry from that of the times when Sir Launcelot haunted the forests in a tin overcoat. _ â€" Fey %eople realize that the hunting bow as used toâ€"day will outâ€"penetrate any high calibre rifle on the market at the present time.

And for any of those who might think that that‘s the time to whip out the trusty repeater you‘re badly mistaken. The archer not only refrains from the use_ of firearms in the pursuit of his sport but by agreement carries no Argos Humble Beaches 27â€"0 weapon witl trusty bow. Last year one of the members of the association dto;{ged a 400 pound black bear with one shaft that attained maximum w&)enetrn- tion. Another dropped 1500 pounds of bull moose wifix‘â€"iir&i’vs guessed itâ€"one single shaft. And the monarch didn‘t run ten feet after the point struck home. Pulee _ If you‘re still not convinced, consider this. One of the more famous archers of the U.S. has actually made a tn'r to Kodiak Island and has not only hunted the Kodiak bear but has brought him down by means of I1':1}1edhunlzinx bow and the broadâ€" ead. It might be well to mention here that the Kodiak is the largest carnivore on the face of the earth, ranging up to ten feet in height and nearly a ton in weight. So therefore gentlemen next time someone mentions archery iet that Diana of the photographic studio out of your mind and instead picture one of those 10 foot Kodiaks packing nearly a ton of bone and muscle into his rush. Hmmm ... maybe those split feet tall ... weighing neuli1 a ton . . . wonder how those white beans would go against rabbits.
