MAIN STREET --- SEAFORTH CLARKE (By GARY WILLIAMS) Basketball: Boys • The Senior Boys were badly trounced in- this, their first meet- ing with the powerful Goderich team. Seaforth ended up on the wrong side of the lopsided 77-54 score. "They won't beat us like that again!" vow the Seaforthians. Three Goderich youth, namely, McWhinney, Peach and Wayne Muck, scored a total of 61 points. The -high scorer for $eaforth was Bev Henderson; topping the list with 19. Other point -getters were: Bill Campbell,' 11; Bob Reith, 9;. Gord Ross, 5; Pete Rowat, 4; Bert Dennis, 3; Fred Flewitt, 2, and Keith Stacey, 1. Four of Seaforth's sharpshooters were fouled out during the fourth quarter, each having attained the required five fouls. Bert •Dennis, Gord Ross, Bob Reith and Bev Henderson shared this doubtful honor. The Junior Boys fared better, losing by only one point. The game ended with a 43-42 score. The game was close all the way through, al- though the Seaforth squad was more accurate in their shots than were the Goderich lads. John Pat- erson headed the scorers' sheet with 1$ points. Other scorers were: Don McKercher, 10; Benny Akker, 6; Jim Dick, 3; Darrell Schneider .2; arid Ken Storey With a siiigle.

Record Hogs The exhibition game Was played in Seaforth Friday_ evening with the Mitchell Intermediates. We again Inst by a single point,the score being 47-46 for Mitchell. This game was well played and gave 12,1:6,,Seaforth squad a few pointers. The referees were Bob Binnendyk and Howie James, The scorers" were: Bob Reith, 19, Bill Camp- bell, 17; Bev Henderson, 7; "Pipe-" Willumsen, 2; and Bert Dennis, 1. Basketball: Girls Unfortunately, as the score book was not available, the only infor- mation I have of the Goderich games last week, is that Seaforth lost both of them. Exhibition: Girls Both Senior and Junior games hadrelatively low scores. The Senior squad took the honors from Mitchell with a 17-9 score. The Juniors also captured their 'game by a 25-20 score. Taking into ac- count the fact that many players were absent from these games I think congratulatibns are m order for the 'girls who played so splen-, didly.
