Led by Ken Arkell, who had 22 points, the Trojans controlled much of the play but their shoot- ing was very inaccurate and must be remedied as soon as possible. Defensively Bob Elliott and Pat Humphreys were standouts. Bob broke up one rush after another and practically controlled the ball off his own backboard. Pat Humphreys, with his great play - making ability, set up many of the Trojan's scoring plays and at times outguessed the entire Wing - ham team. Saxton was the big man for Wingham accounting for half of his team's total points. Wingham took an early lead and were ahead 14-13 at the quarter and 26-25 at half time. Clinton stepped up the game in the last half and led by 15 points with four minutes remaining in the game. Fouls nearly stopped the Tro- jans and after Bob Elliott was forced out of the game, Wingham came on strongly but finished six points short as the final whistle sounded. WINGHAM COMETS: fg fs pts.
