By DON SOUTHCOTT
The regular contributor in this space has his
mind on other things this week. We’re substituting
at right wing while ‘'Boom Boom’* and his bride*
♦‘Broom Broom’\ enjoy their honeymoon.
The wedding on Saturday was quite a sporting
occasion, as it should be when two athletes like DON
GRAVETT and MARY McKNIGHT exchange vows.
Supporting Boom (or “Groom Groom”, as he was dub
bed last week) was his linemate BIBB WHARNSBY
and a golfing friend from Kitchener, GERRY
HOLLINGSWORTH. BILL OBERLE and* LARRY
HEIDEMAN, two Mohawk teammates, were guests.
Among Mary’s attendants was JEAN TAYLOR, •
who has co-starred with “Broom Broom” in many soft
ball and basketball games.
• The weather was perfect for the ceremony. It
was good for golf, too, and Boom couldn’t resist
the temptation to take off for a round at Qakwoqd
in the morning. We don’t know what his score was
but it didn’t affect his performance in the afternoon.
Fortunately for Mary, Sunday was a dull and
rainy day so our sports editor would have to stay
off the links on the first day of hjs honeymoon at
least.
We understand the only persons unhappy about
■Saturday’s wedding were the members of the single
girls’ broomball team. They lost their top scorer to
the married gals.
Incidentally, Boom and Mary took off for a New
York honeymoon in the hopes of seeing a game of
the world-series, From reports about the number of
people clamoring for tickets for the subway series,
we suspect they’ll be watching the classic from* a TV
set in their hotel room.
We know we have the support of all local sports
when we offer the two local athletes best wishes for
a happy and active married life.

honors in one year . . . Caps off to ZURICH LUMBER-
KINGS, the “D” champs, , and DASHWOOD TIGERS, •
who reached the “C” semi-finals . ....Both, teams
deserve special tributes and we hope their communi

aren’t new to Dashwood, of course, but it should be’
remembered the Tigers were'-competing in a higher
classification this. year.

South Huron District High School
Panthers will get their first
taste of WOSSA “A” competi
tion Friday afternoon when they
open their 1956 football season
against Listowel Blues on the
local gridiron.
Panthers, la'st year's WOSSA
“B” finalists, are in a six-team
“A” grouping this season which
includes Stratford, Palmerston,
St. Marys, Mitchell and List
owel. South Huron’s jump from
“B" to “A” was brought about
when the attendance passed the
500-mark. The new classification
will affect basketball and volley
ball competition too.
The SHDHS gridders will play
two home games and three con
tests on the road this season.
Next year, they’ll get three
home matches.
Panthers will be missing 10 of
hst year’s regulars when they
take the field against .the blues
on- Friday, Nevertheless Coach
Mickle hopes' to field a strong
club although it will be lacking
in reserves. •
Bill Pollen will be back calling
the signals .at the Quarterback
slot and the backfield will in
clude Ted' Smith, Jim Ethering
ton (who may double on ’ the
linp), Jules Desjardine and Ted
Normington. Nick Fedossow will
be flying wing.
Impressive addition to tjie
line this year is Bill Foster, a
hysky, blond guard who played
for Wingham last year. Bill,
moved to Hensail this summer.’
Other linesmen are Vai Gu-
lens, Jim Carter, Jim'Dougall,
Dick McCutcheon, Bev Sturgis
and Peter Irwin,
“We’re not sure what kind of
competition we’ll meet this year
m the new conference,” Coach
Mickle said Tuesday, “but I
figure Stratford will he the team
to beat. We defeated them hand
ily in an ^exhibition game last
year but "they’ve had several
strong additions this year. Their
juptor team won the champion
ship last year so they have
plenty of reserve- to call on.”
The schedule is: *
October
5—Listowel at ‘Exeter i
Palmerston at St. Marys
Stratford at Mitchell
10—Exeter at Stratford-
■ Palmerston at Listowel
St. Marys at Mitchell
17—Exeter at St. Marys

FIELD* MEET CHAMPIONS^—Winners of the senior cham
pionships at the SHDHS track and field meet last week
were Joan Ravelie, Grand. Bend, and Jack Clarke, Stephen.
Both titlists competed in the Perthex meet at Stratford
oh Wednesday. . —T-A Photo
-1.
The crucial game of a best-of-
three series turned out to be a
sheer slaughter as the Corunna
Giants- ran rough-shod over the
Dashwood Tigers to hand them a
2.1-5 licking in the rubber game
of the Ontario Baseball Associa
tion Intermediate “C” semi
final series.
The Giants will now move into
the O.B.A. championship series
against Orono or Caledonia who
are engaged in playoffs.
The combined efforts of left-
handed pitcher Don Lumley and
first baseman Don Mullin spark
ed the Giants to victory. ,
, Lefty Lumley threw a scatter
ed seven hitttr, recorded seven
strikouts and gave up three
walks in going the full nine in
innings to gain his first victory
of the. series against one set
back.
A grand . slam home run by
Don Mullin, that carried over the
left field fence at the 285-foot
mark in the first inning was the
blow that really sunk the Dash
wood spirit. A single by Don
Anderson, a walk to TM Gafvin
by Tanrter and an errot by Ter-
.ry Wade at short set the stage
for the four-run blow.
. Corunna jumped off a 7-1 lead-
in: the first inning and were
never headed.
The Giants, who couldn’t do a
thing wrong, added seven more
runs in the second and third in-
ings off five hits and four Dash-
Wood errors. Six players crossed
the plate in the' sixth and a single
marker registered? in the eighth
frame to round Qut the 21 run
outburst. ,Ray Curran of Corunna and
.Harry Elliott of the Tigers, who-
both play the left field position,
each rapped out three hits to
lead their respective 0ams at
the plate. *
Jimmy Brown, Don Anderson,
Don Mullin and winning pitcher
Don Lumley each backed up Cur-
rah’s three -hit performance with
two safeties apiece.
Single Corruna hits went to
Ted Garvin in the second, Dave
Killbreath, Bob Lockery and
“Butch” Lellan.
Bob Stormes and Bob Tanner,
two of the more prominant fig-1
urea in ’the series, unleashed a
pair of triples for the dnly extra
base hits bf the game for the
losefs.
Stormes, with two hits in five
Midgets Play
Saturday?
Exeter Kinsmen Midgets may
see action this Saturday if Cal
edonia defeats Delhi in the sec
ond game of their semi-final
series in Delhi Thursday night.
The Caledonia kids won the
first game. 13-12 Oh their home
diamond Monday night, if Delhi
evens the Count Thursday, the
clubs will play the rubber game
Saturday and the final series
will probably start riext Wed
nesday.
The local midgets; who won*
the W.O.A.A. championship and
reached the OJ3.A. finals by
eliminating Port Elgin last week,
hope to havfe star catcher Doug
Sillery back in shape for the
final scries. Sillcry- injured his
ankle iri the third game with iPm Elgin, j
official trips to the plate, and
Dick Regier and Bob Tanner
were the only other players to
flash the hit sign off Lumley.
Although Lumley’s teammates
made six errors behind him, the
slim right hander had things
under control all the way as his
curve and hook worked to per
fection.-
The smartest defensive play
in the game was turned in by
Dick Regier who patrolled cen
trefield in the final stages of
the game for Dashwood. The
fleet-footed outfielder made a
sensational one-handed running
~l a VI
in deep centrefield.
