Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Wild one gone respectable: Roy Hare; 30; considered one of Canada's top amateur motorcycle racers; used to ride roughshod through the streets of Willowdale in his younger days. Anybody who is any good on the track now was crazy on the street at one time; he says. He'd like to turn pro next season.
