A long time ago in this column we called the Keglers the best team in the league. Off the re cord, at the time (December), we thought they would finish in first place. The Spares had other ideas. Undoubtedly, the Apple jacks have other ideas, too. We asked local bowling and horseshoes enthusiast Pat Walker who would win the Labatt Tro phy. He replied, “Bob, it’s like a horse race. You can’t tell till they stop running!’’ We don't blame Pat for not wanting to go out on a limb, for .the semi-finals have been as un predictable as the weather. Such favorites as the Butchers, Spares, Rural Rollers and Pinpoppers have now put away their bowling they average. The Applejacks shoes.

COCHRANE, Mayor, Town of Exeter. ■ ICE CHIPS April is the month of showers and last Friday a galaxy of boys and girls from the public school were “all wet’’ as they merrily skimmed and slid over the melt ing surface of the ice at the Arena during their last skating session—Yep—good to the last drop—for Thursday night our genial ice maker Alvin Willert turned off the machines and in the space of 24 hours the ice was melting and running away— ■but the children had then’ last fling. Now don’t forget to put those skates away in a good dry place, but before doing so, be sure and treat them properly—use an oil, preferably Dubbin, and cover all the leather parts with ’this leather preserver—rub it in and next year when you lace up those skates for your first whirl on the ice the leather won't be pull ing apart at the seams. Skates cost money—take care of them. All the goalie pads have been taken to Mr. Wuerth who has, I am informed, repaired the minor league pads free of charge year after year. Hats off to Wuertlis. Minor hockey had a very year but there is lots of room for improvement. A total of 104 games of hockey were played with additional time for prac tices and drill sessions—'ll teams consisting of six Pee Wee, two Wee Wee and three Bantam teams operated, in a House League and in addition four All Star teams under Minor Hockey League with participation .of over 200 boys in all—a lot of hockey potential—-and each of those 200 and some boys extend a very hearty vote of thanks to the Service Clubs, Kinsmen, Legion and Lions, who so 'generously sponsored our Minor Hockey pro gramme, one of the finest pro jects that the thousands' of Ser vice Clubs throughout Canada provide for boys and girls. Next fall it is my hope to con duct hockey schools for coaches School Hockey —Continued from page 2 intramural and extramural sports. We doubt if even the sports-minded people of this dis trict would approve such expen ditures by the High School Board since the Boys’ Athletic Society could certainly not handle them. Thirdly, the present trend in school sports is to emphasize the participation of as many students as possible in intramural sports. We have at South Huron District High School a full schedule of inter-form basketball and volley ball. To replace this by a pro gramme of hockey could be done only at great expense and loss of time. There is no more logic in building a gymnasium and not using it than there is in building arenas and not having trained hockey players. This leads directly into our next statement. Of the 11 regu lar players on each of the boys’ basketball teams, six Seniors and five of the Juniors played hockey this past season. You place mighty little value on the training given these boys by their hockey coaches if you be lieve that they would have to be trained in school as well. Finally it is rather revealing to note that Of the graduates who played on the Senior basketball teams of the last five years Only 10 have remained in thia, dis trict and only two of them dis play only interest in playing hockey. In conclusion therefore, we of the Boys’ Athletic Society see no reason why the Board, teachers or students should advise a Change from basketball to hockey and we see plenty of reasons why We should not do so.
