The Huron-Perth baseball

ficials decided.
Total number of clubs that
will participate in the league
will not be known until early
next week. Schedule for the sea
son will be drawn at a meeting
in Clinton on Wednesday niglit.
Jim Fairbairn, manager of
Exeter Mohawks for a number of
years, is the new president of
the league. He succeeds Wally
Wein of Dashwood.
First vice-president is
Cundy, of Zurich; second
president is Ken McCrae,
wood, John Livermore, of
ton, remains secretary-treasurer.
The league has a surplus of
$766.46.
Enforce Rules
Officials voted to enforce
strictly the O.B.A. rules on pro
per handling of players’ certifi
cates and other regulations which
have been overlooked in recent
years.
Henry Harburn, Ross Hough
ton and Archie Hubert represent-
Pete
vice-
Dash-
Clin-
ed the league’s umpires at the
meeting. The arbiters will elect
their officials Thursday night.
Five Definite
Only five teams, have made
their definite entry into the
league. These are Clinton Colts,

SHDHS Leader O'Brien
Scores For Basketball
Chalk up another point for
basketball in the Great Argu
ment of the Sports.
Don O’Brien, the Zurich ath
lete who plays all the team
games, picks the cage sport as
his favorite. That’s a blow to
the staunch hockey and baseball
boosters of older generations.
Don, who was recently naiiied
to the U.W.O. Leaders’ Club,
picks basketball because it re
quires “co-ordination, skill and
speed.’’ He thinks it’s a good
spectator sport, too.
The 18-year-old team
is in a position to make
choice between all the
player
a fair
team
games because he's participated
in all of thm. Besides being cap
tain of the school’s basketball
and football teams, he’s played
both junior
baseball and hockey for his home
town.
Although Don comes from a
hockey and baseball family—'his
father, Leroy O’Brien, and late
uncle, Lennis O’Brien,, were
thusiasts of both sports—he has
a basketball precedent behind
him. His older brother, Bill, who
was also elected to the Leaders’
Club, favored basketball, too.
He still plays the cage game in
his adopted town of St. Marys.
As this year’s representative
of S.H.D.H.S., Don is as versatile
an athlete as the school has ever
of
in-
the
the
and intermediate

tenburg and boys.
Mr. and Mrs. Bev Parsons, of
near Exeter, were Sunday guests
of Mr. and Mrs. John Coward.

Minor Bowling
Minor bowling came through
its second week of league play
and the positions of the teams
in the standing haven’t changed
too much. Our system of in
dividual handicaps was not very
successful. Next week we will
try a new system—handicaps
will depend on position in league
standing and will be a team
handicap instead of an individual
one.
For instance, next week's
schedule:
Girls' League
Happy Gals vs Roller Coasters
(Gals have 20 handicap}
Pinpoppettes vs Alley Gals
(Alley Gals have 20 handicap)
Boys’ League
Pin Boys vs Spare Parts
(Pin Boys have 20 handicap)
Big Six vs Whizz Bangs
(Big Six have 40 handicap)

produced. Besides being the top
scorer and captain of the basket
ball team last year, he also led
the football team from quarter-'
back position and played on the
volleyball club. In track and
field, he's proficient enough to
claim the school’s senior cham
pionship for two years in a row.
He’s a forward with his Zurich
hockey team and a catcher with
the ball club.
Don has held a number
positions in the student body

■Current events could be stim
