Basketball Team
Organized Here
Plans have been made to or-
ganize an Intermediate "C"
basketball team in Clinton for
the coming season. At an organ-
ization meeting held in the Town
Hall on Monday nigiOmucli en-
thusiasm was shown and as a
result the boys have begun to
practice at the Collegiate gym
two nights a week,
Those who have signified their
intention to play are: Pat Hum-
phrey, Ken Arkell, Jack Wilson,
Alex Wilson, C. Denomme, Fran-
cis Hiusser, Andy' Johnson, Don
Symonds, Jack Porter, Jack Cow-
an,- Bob Elliott, Bill Medd, Vern
Postill, Don Epps, Murray Tyn-
dall, Fred Thorndike. Pat Hum-
phrey and Ken Arkell are coach-
ing the team and Fred Thornlike
has been named manager.
Practice sessions are held each
Monday and Thursday at 7,30 at
the Collegiate. The fact is stres-
sed that if there are any other
Men in the town who are inter-
ested in playing basketball they
will be made welcome at the
practices. It is planned to enter
into OBA competition after the
first of the new year and in an
effort to round into shape, sev-
eral exhibition games are plan-
ned for late November a n d
December.
With the tremendous boost
that basketball got in southwest-
ern Ontario last year by the
famed Tillsonburg Trpjans, it is
fast becoming the top indoor win-
ter sport in the province. For
this reason the boys feel that a
lot of both player and spectator
interest will be found in the
town. Basketball is a fast, clean
sport that takes a lot of skill and
practice to master. With the
speed of the game there is int-
erest for the fans from start to
finish. The start has been made
to bring the sport to the front
in Clinton. Now , it remains for
the people to come and see the
club and we feel that once you
start to follow the club you will
want to stay with it.
