By scanning the other section of this sports
Page, you'll find that the first steps have been made
to form another hockey team for the cowing winter.
An entirely new executive has been set up to try to
give local fans a season of "HOMEBREW" hockey.
Members' of the small three-man executive have
already held a couple of meetings and found them-
selves faced with problems even before any player
sets a foot inside the arena door.
The biggest drawback to date is sufficient funds
to pay a league entry fee and provide insurance
for the players. The WOAA Insurance plan costs
$120 per club and the entry fee is around the $20
mark, so before the team takes to the ice approxi-
mately $140 has to be raised, However, this sum is
a mere drop in ,the bucket to what was needed last
year so we feel confident that the amount can be
raised, without too much trouble.
A number of ardent "honiebrew" supporters
have approached us on a couple of iceas ''tG raise
money for the team that will operate on the SHARE-
THE,WEALTH,PLAN fay the '57-'58 season.
One chap suggested charging for.a booster seat
in addition to the 50¢ admission price at each game.
Another said he would rather pay Lor an advance
home game series at once so that if he didn't get
to all the games, the hockey club would still benefit
by his purchase. Eadh plan shows plenty of merit
to us but neither will be put in force or can be put
in force until the schedule has been drawn up and
we know exactly how many teams will swing into the
homebrew league this wifiter. Whatever decision
club manager BILL MUSSER. and I make, we hope
to get it started, as soon as possible and would ap-
preciate your support,
• * *
• THIS 'N THAT—Badminton is on the upward
• swing in town again. Membership fees have,been set
at $5,00 per person or $8.00 a couple for the year.
Some fifty persons will be contacted for enrolment
in the new club which starts October 7. In case you
are missed, you can join by ,contacting RALPH
SWEITZER at 261 Exeter . . HAROLD WOLFE
will have to. turnin his world series tickets for De-
troit this, year since it is now official NEW YORK
YANKEES vs. MILWAUKEE BRAVES—Ugh!. . . Any'
wagers boys? . . . Nice to see that the ,Splendid
Splinter has almost copped the batting title even
though we were yelling for a min called Mickey
WILLIAMS' days are numbered where MICKEY'S
are practically just . , DON BEATTY, HAL
SCHOOLEY and JOE GRIFFI have left the O.H.A.
Senior "B" St. Thomas• Royals for a hockey season
overseas. Incidentally, the Royals are 6n share -the -
wealth agaihi this year. Each player made approxi-
mately $14.00 a game clear for himself last, year
in a Royal uniform . . . ZURICH LUMBER KINGS
are on the title march,again! One more game in the
win column and they will have successfully defend-
ed their O.B.A. "D" title. With what this corner saw
of WALSINGHAM, Zurich should remain champs
without batting an eyelash!
* * * • *
WEEKLY PREDICTIONS --Those Ti -Cats sent the
.chills riming up •and7down the Alouette spines on
Saturday afternoon but finally gave way to the de-
fending Big Four champs through a costly fumble.
The miscue by the Hamilton quarterback sent the
only one of our five predictions on the skids with
one game in the and one in the*O.R.F.U. on
Wednesday. Win -loss reciird, for the year stands at
16 right and eight wrong.
With three of the four teams tied for first in
the BIG FOUR, it's getting, tougherto pick a win-
ner, but we'll say that Ottawa dumps the double
blue' from Toronto again and the Hamilton Ti -Cats
upset Montreal at home on the same day. Out West,
Saturday will see Edmonton repeat over Saskatche-
wan, while on Monday the Rough Riders will bounce
back to get B.C. In the game of the week, Edmonton
gets the nod over Winnipeg. In SENIOR 0,R.F.U.,
we'll say goodbye to all our London friends and pick
the Dutchies over the Lords by two touchdowns on
Saturday with Sarnia edging Toronto by a mere 30
ohits. October 2 will put Jack Jacobs' squad back
in the winning circles with. a .victory in Toronto.
