They played an exhibition game with Palmerston, winning by a decisive 11-10 victory. It was a wonderful warm, sunny day for the game and the ground was firm and dry.

In the second half there was still plenty of action and excitement but Wingham failed to score again. Ex cellent defensive playing was shown by Jim Platt and (Douglas Gibson. The players who dressed for this game were: half backs, Bob Black, George Procter, Jim Bain, Doug Murray, Jim Campbell; full-backs, Bob Peel, Jack Grewar; quarter backs, Neil Stainton, Bruce Robert son; flying wings, Danny Stuckey, Ron Higgins; ends, Art McKague, Jack Horton, Doug Gibson, Bob Cathers, Ian Hetherington; centres, David Slosser, Bill Martin; insides, Eugene Devereaux, Leslie Showers, Ian Gibbons, Frank Gibbons, Paul Groskorth, Ricky Newman; and mid dles, , Jim Platt, Ken McKenzie, Bob Aitken, Doug Carr.

City of Windsor police have a new problem to worry about—jam. When prisoners at the local jail get their breakfast, instead of eating jam that comes with the toast, they throw it over the walls of the cells, or the doors or ceilings, or whatever hap pens to be handy. Police, who couldn’t say why the prisoners try decorating their cells with jam, said they don’t know how to stop it, unless the breakfast menu is changed.
