Home My WebLink AboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1953-03-26, Page 5Usborne Requests To Jo in Authority Usborne township has request ed to be admitted to the Upper Thames Conservation Authority. The petition was heard at the Authority’s meeting last week. Action was deferred. The area of Usborne that is drained to the Thames, said Leon ard Johnson, is about three square miles. A. H. Richardson, chief officer, said he was unable to give any reason for the omis sion of Usborne when the Author ity was formed in 1947, other than the fact that there were no Usborne representatives at the organization meeting. The application from" Usborne for admission to U.T.C.A. was prompted, it was explained in a letter from the township authori ties, by a request from a farmer in Usborne, Lawrence Mills, whose land drains to the Thames, for financial assistance with a farm pond. Usborne is now a member of the Ausahle Conserva tion Authority.

There was no doubt that Exeter was top-seeded for the title. In the finals, the locals just weren’t sharp enough. They didn’t have that keen edge that picks up an extra rebound, that When will your family need income most? Certainly' not now, when you are providing for them.

Led For Half The locals led for oier half the game. Amherstburg, how ever, outscored them in the first and last quarters. The rivals took a 12-7 lead in the first but Exe ter led 18-17 at the half and 29- 27 at the three-quarters. With three minutes to the game, the score was locked at 31-31. Here’s go in dead- what happened in that last 180 sec onds: The locals had the ball. A pass went astray and the boys in gold took possession.. They tried to crack the SHigh zone defence, couldn’t, took a desperate shot and lost the rebound. Exeter bounced back, Gary Middleton trying the basket. Ball rolled out. After the rebound, Middle ton fouled Norm Anderson who sunk two free ones. Locals Fumble SHigh lost the ball again on the attack and Amherstburg played outside the locals’ zone. Anderson broke and potted a lovely dog shot. SHigh came out fast but fumbled again. A jump was called after a struggle for the ball. John Hicks went in for Jim Sturgis. Middleton jump. Don O’Brien barely basket but Middleton the rebound and sunk was 35-33. Amherstburg’s Ouel lette took steps; Middleton miss ed a short one, and there was a desperate pile-up for the re bound. O’Brien got it, missed the shot. Only 15 seconds left. Ken Moir was fouled and received two free shots. Both might just well have gone in as rolled out, which they did. Bill Yungblut fouled Wigle in the struggle for the ball and the Amherstburg forward scored one out of two. That was the last count. SHigh tried to get the ball-into opposi tion territory but the horn stop ped the play. Captain Leads Attack Captain Ken Moil locals’ attack with three baskets and four foul shots dor 10 points. Don O’Brien scored eight points and Gary Middleton seven.' South Huron’s zone defence was good and it’forced Amherst burg to try many wild, desperate shots. But they outfought the locals for rebounds and stray balls. That made the difference. In the semi-finals, Don O’Brien netted 17 points to spark the winners. Moir potted Hicks 12. Caverly on was the losers’ big scored 2 3 points. South Huron boys too much basketball................... show it much in the semi-finaj but it was evident in the championship tilt.
