«The RailhW
STUFF DREAMS ARE MADE OF ’
Some Wingham fans have voiced the erroneous opinion that with the
Towne Hollers on the way out of the OHA Junior “C” playdowns, hockey
has come to its yearly ignominious end in this town. They also add that as
far as championships are concerned, Wingham is in Its usual position of
wrapping things up early, and then dreaming of a better time next year.
Actually, I can't think of any town in this area more fortunate in the
matter of championships than Wingham has been in the P^t year and a
half. If you remove the blinders, and swallow your disappointment at the
showing of the juniors in the playoffs, you might remember that the kid’s
teams have steamed to two local and provincial titles in the past year, and
the Lion’s midgets bid fair to make a fight of it in the WQAA and OMHA
again this season. Last spring, the Kinsmen Bantams, presenting ope of
the finest clubs this area has seen in a long time, copped the OMHA Bantam
"C” crown in downing Cannington, and then last fall, in a memorable
double-header on Thanksgiving Day, wrapped up the OASA Midget title,
after downing such softball powers as Sarnia, Stoney Creek, Oshawa, and
in the finals, the Kirkland Lake Huskies.
There has been nothing but praise from such luminaries as Frank
Feaver of Hamilton, secretary of the OASA, and Mike Weichel of Elmira,
r— 1—--------- -——— —president of the OMHA, for the ex
cellent hockey and sportsmanship
displayed by Wingham teams recent
ly. Weichel, a man who has been
connected with' minor hockey for
more years than he cares to remem
ber, saw at least two games of last
spring’s final, and told me that it’s
been quite a few years since he saw
such a smooth-performing bantam
club. So, it might be well for Wing
ham fans to remeniber how fortunate
they< are in having the hockey and
softball talent they have, and despite
reverses, this present hockey season
has been a success, too!

SPORTRAITS—
A fellow who has been overshadow
ed somewhat by the scoring ability of
DOUG MURRAY and KEN HODG
KINSON is little JIMMY CAMP
BELL, the play-making captain of
the Wingham Lions’ Midgets. In the
first game' of the finals for the
WOAA title against Seaforth Lions,
Jimmy picked up five assists on the
six Wingham goals . . . that’s just
about par for the course . . . despite
a dismal playoff record, the junior
hockey experiment in Wingham has
been a decided success, at least in
reviving hockey. The financial as
pect is another thing, but you can
look for a bigger and better junior
club next fall. . . , ALF LOCKRIDGE
and PERC STAINTON should be
commended for their efforts in pre
senting this pleasing brand of the
winter sport . . . my contemporary,
"HANK” SMITH of the PT. ELGIN
TIMES has little to console himself
with both the Jaycees and the Ban
tams shunted to the sidelines . . . .
"Hank” wrote a very glowing report
last spring on the Wingham Ban
tams, and we should reciprocate by
saying that the Pt. Elgin Bantams,
who gained the WOAA finals only
to be eclipsed by -Milverton, were
certainly gentlemanly representatives
of the lakeshore town. DOUG
LEITH and his cohorts brought
honor in defeat to Pt, Elgin with the
fine showing of the Pt. Elgin kids . . ,

Softball fans still talk about the
inequality of a town such as Wing
ham playing teams from cities like
Hamilton, Sarnia and Kirkland Lake
in ,the OASA Midget. .To restify this,
it might be a good idea for towns
like Wingham to send delegations to
the OASA annual meeting, and make
a motion to the effect that classifi
cations should be instituted in .the
midget division to overcome this dis
parsity. The only reason there has
been no classification in the OASA
Midget, is because nobody has ever
agitated for it. The OASA has assured
me, that they would'gladly re-classify
the midgets, if enough teams wanted
it that way. It might be an idea to
remember that this spring.
SKI HOME IN STORM
Mr. and Mrs. Stewart McKeough, of
Cedar Springs, took their skis to Nor
thern Ontario last week-end, and were
disappointed because there wasn’t
enough snow where they were visit
ing.
Returning home they managed to
get their car from Chatham to Erie
Beach, where it bogged down just
three miles from home.
They finished the trip on their skis,
passing many cars stranded in the
worst storm to hit Kent County in
nearly fifty years.

IN FIRST PLAYOFFS
Wingham'S Lion Midgets polished
off the first game of the home-and-
home series with Seaforth with a 6-4
win over the Seaforth sextet in Sea
forth on Friday, and entered the sec
ond game with a two-goal margin in
the goals-to-count series.
The Wingham kids rang up two
goals in the first period, while hold
ing the home team scoreless, Seaforth
came back with two in the second per
iod to tie up the score, but it didn't
stay that way very long.
Doug, Murray, for Wingham,
bounced right back with another tally
less than a minute after the score
was knotted, and another counter
from the same source put the locals
two goals ahead at the end of the
second. Each team scored two in the
final stanza, leaving Wingham with
their original two-goal first period
lead.
Scoring for Wingham were Murray
with 4, Hodgkinson and Bain with
one. Jim Campbell played a stellar
role, being credited with 5 assists.
Mason with two and Dinsmore and
Roberton with one each were the
sharpshooters for the losers.
