Whatever is the reason, defensemen, as a group, seem to mature more slowly than do forwards. The forwards must be good when they come up, hut the brass seems to be more patient and tolerent of a defensive man, possibly because he doesn’t .score too many goals. They sometimes forget, however, that it’s just as important not to have goals scored against, you! Bob Goldham, the ageless veteran with the Detroit Red Wings is a good example of a boy (?) who is now only coming into his own. Goldham has been kicking around the majors for ten years, first with the Leafs and now with his present employers. And only last Saturday, did the writing fra ternity turn in rapturous prose about the man who was a second goal tender. Goldham did everything but sit in Conny Smythe's lap to frustrate the Leafs at every turn. In other words a defenseman has to be pretty terrific to get half the space a mediocre forward would get. Which brings us around to a iocal boy, who has worked all season, somewhat the way Gold- ham worked last Saturday night. A year ago, this boy, although a good, all- round athlete, couldn't skate and didn’t have the savvy that some of the Other kids had. Maybe it just appeared that way, because we expect more from a big boy. The fans knew he could pitch fastball, but his hockey left much to be desired. This season, this same lad, who has matured quite a bit, not only cam skate, but plays as heady a defensive job as you’ll see in midget ranks. He’s Keith Lancaster, a boy who has surprised the locals with his excellent rushing possibili ties, his Inspirational leadership, and his positional play. “Lanky” and Jimmy Bain have been left pretty well to fend for themselves back of the blue-line, because coach Vic Loughlean didn’t have any more de fensemen. Lancaster, like Goldham, is a second goal-tender, and, on oc casion, has been seen to stop incom ing pucks on every part of his body mMp>toFILL HIAOBneeds with the exception of the top of his head. He's also got a sense of humor which pulls the club up when they’re down. If the Wingham Lions win the OMHA title, much of the credit can go to the steady rear-guard who has shown what you can do, if you don’t quit, trying! * SP0RTRAITS Every body’s dreaming of a white Spring, whether they want to or not, except a hard core of ball players, who are itching to get the gloves on ... no fastball for .Wingham again this year, because no angel has turn ed up to make it possible , . . but, THE BATTERY hopes to enter a baseball team in WOAA competition this summer ... at least two major league clubs are waiting for S-Day . . . Signing Day! S-Day will be April 14th when JERRY FRYFOGLE becomes of age to sign. with one of these clubs. Both “NAP” ROSS of the CLEVELAND INDIANS and CLARE HOOSE of the DETROIT TIGERS have evinced quite .a bit of interest in the speedy right-hander . . . If Jerry signed with the Tigers, he would likely wind up with the ST. THOMAS ELGINS of the Inter county for the balance of this season , . . The ice goes out of the Wingham Arena today, according to manager ALF LOCKRIDGE, but. it won’t be long till the TV stars take over. Alf has a top-notch wrestling card lined up for Saturday, April 10th for the local emporium ... a midget team match the feature, and among the bigger boys Jack Lortie and Joe Maich . . . Maich also doubles as promoter. MAICH at one time, was Canadian amateur champ. Let’s give three cheers for the Wingham midgets and pee wees, the everyone played the same piece of music.

Wingham Lions Midgets i decision to the Cannington ! rough-and-tumble contest I Perry Tuesday night of last week to ; j tie up the best-of-three series with ! j one game apiece. Eighteen penalties ; ■ were handed out during the session, ! with seven of them going to the local ; team, ; Wingham started off strongly in ; the first frame, when Hodgkinson ■ grabbed the puck and scored unas- ; sisted in the first minute of play. A | few seconds after* Tom Wilson, of Cannington was given a penalty for high sticking and just after the two- minute mark his team-mate, Harold Jenkins, was also sent to the sin-bin for elbowing. With two Cannington men off, Wingham went to town and , notched two goals within a minute, both by Jimmy Campbell. A count er by Foster and one by Tom Wilson for Cannington left the locals with a 4-1 lead at the end of the first. In the second period Cannington came back with two quick goals, af ter Ken Hodgkinson got two minutes on an elbowing count. The locals were held scoreless. In the dying minutes of the period a fracus broke out in front of the Wingham net for which both Wilson of Cannington and Hodg- I kinson of Wingham drew penalties, ; and during which the latter was hurt I by a fall on the ice. A minute later ' Jim Campbell joined them in the box i on a cross-checking penalty. At the,beginning of the third period the locals still had a 4-3 lead but it was shadowed by the fact that they had two men off in penalties and Ken Hodgkinson had been injured. While they managed to ride out the penal ties, the effect of Hodgkinson’s ab sence was felt on the first line, which, nevertheless, managed to garner one goal, with Houghton filling in. How ever, the Cannington crew poured in four goals despite a number of pen alties, to clinch the game beyond all hope of recovery.
