Personally, the 6-3 sc<?re does not indicate the difference in the two teams although the God­ erich squad carried more reinforce­ ments which gave them a greater edge as the game wore on. Impres­ sive was the work of young iDoug Moore in the Stouffville nets. Ac­ cording to our friend, Chuck Nolan of t'he Stouffville Tribune, the kid is but fifteen years old. Moore was particularly good on close in shots. Of course, district fans had their eye on Jim Hayter who handles the right wing chore on the first line. Prior to the game Jim jokingly in­ formed us that he’d pick off a couple of goals and the 'hard-work­ ing puckchaser did just that. His last tally was one of the nicest of the evening. By the time the Times-Advocate is printed the second game will have been played. * * * * BASEBALL BANTER We see by the papers that sev­ eral district towns have already or­ ganized (baseball for the coming season. Mildmay is one town and here they have everybody from the captain to the batboy selected. Over in 'Staffa they are again going to seek a berth in the Huron-Perth ■circuit, Carter Kerslake and Bruce Balfour are going to coach the club which means that they will be lost to the Hensall nine this year. Along with one or two more who will be lining up with Staffa it may weaken last year’s champions considerably. No definite plans have been made in Exeter as yet but it is altogether likely that they will have a team to enter this season. Pitching is going to be the chief problem. An early start may help to develop some of the local boys but whether they can 'be strengthened by outside help remains yet to be seen. For a young team the Exeter nine did al­ right for themselves last year wind­ ing up the season playing .500 ball. * «• * * LEAFS AND OANADIENS The Stanley Cup will definitely be staying on Canadian soil this year. With Toronto ousting Detroit and Montreal putting out Boston the two Canadian entries will be fighting it out for the honors. While opinion apparently gives the Can- adiens an edge with the master­ minds the Detroiters favor the Leafs. By the time this hits t'he press the first game will already have ben played and the series should be an interesting one. FINE RECORD Although they lost to Amherst- burg in the finals last week t'he Exetei’ Girls’ Basketball team set up a fine record this season. It is too bad that the series was not a two-out-of-three affair rather than the sudden death game at Chat­ ham. According to their followers the local lassies finished strong in the last half and outscored their rivals after a very shaky start. They report that had the series been drawn out the High .School team stood a good chance of copping the title. The long trip just before the game after a heavy schedule of ■Easter examinations probably didn't help the local cause, either. * •» * * SORRY, FELLOWS! We hear by the grapevine that a couple of the chaps on the local team were somewhat disappointed in not receiving more credit in the write-up of the final hockey game between Hensall and Exeter. We’re sorry, fellows! The game is report­ ed as we see it and after all it’s only one person’s opinion anyway. * * * * PROTEST THROWN OUT It was learned at the game In Stratford Saturday night that the Goderich protest against Bolton in the Juvenile series was not upheld by the OMHA, One of the imen on the executive told us that this bor­ rowing player (business from other towns was going on in two of the teams in t'he W.O.A.A. so why should we beef. Why, may we asx, does Goderich have ’to suffer for misdemeaners on the part of other teams in the W.O.A.A.?

The game, played at Chatham, was a tough one to lose for the high­ flying school team who did not find their legs until the second 'half but 'twas all in vain. The game was played very tight as the score in­ dicates, and it was a long time be­ fore either team got a basket in that hectic early minutes of play. The ball went from end to end but neither team was able to put the ball in the hoop. Amherstburg got the first counter and the Exeter squad, who had never this season failed to get the first point in a game, fell apart for the rest of the half and they ended up with a low 15-3. Amherstburg squad played short, quick passes and their tigTit defence was a big drawback as they intercepted the local’s passes. Sec­ ond half showed a big difference in play, especially near the end when the Exeter sextet (hit some­ thing like their regular form. They outpointed the winners 9-7 but it was too late. Lillian Hunter-Duvar tallied eight points for the locals. Janet Nestle and Helen Sweet both got two. Newman, .Langlois and Godden got all the counters for Amherstburg. It was too bad that the cham­ pionship couldn’t have been a two- out-of-t'hree series as the exam- weary Exeterites were not in form after the hundred-mile trip. They 'haven’t been able to practice since their last game because of weather conditions and the late Easter exams. However, they certainly de­ serve credit for reaching the finals and it is to be hoped they, do as well, or better, next year. An Ailing Motor can sound the death knell for your car.

"No consumer in a 'food store, with or without coupons, would be denied a jam of some kind," comments the -grocery trade paper. "It might not foe strawberry or raspberry, but it could be plum or peach.
