From where we sat they didn't lack anything, including line, backfield, kick- ing and passing. They were a team of stars and fought all the way, In fact, they have what it takes to win the series, provided they work as hard as they did in that first game, We will have to confess that it is difficult for us to pick out all the outstanding players, simply because we don't know all of them yet. BUD Lori' scored two touchdowns for the home team and was right in there to recover fumbles and tackled hard. JOHN HANNA'S edu- cated foot was responsible for three Wingham converts and if he plays back further from his own line he'll do even better. Kicking is all-important in our game of football and in Hanna the W,D.H,S. team has the kicking pow- er it needs. John started the hometowners rolling with the first touchdown of the game on an end-run which was quite spectacular. Along the line the boys held well and gave their backfield time to get their plays rolling, The other two touchdowns were scored by DES BRO- PHY and HIVING ELLIOTT. Final score, 28 to 0. There were no serious injuries and if the boys work on their condition they'll keep it that way. Clinton is no cinch and given the right breaks they could have been in the driver's seat, so don't treat them too lightly, fellows. Keep an eye peeled for KEN SAXTON, That boy can really run. Things that the boys should watch; Boxing the ball carrier on a run- back after a kick, Several times Wingham players were right down the field into enemy territory but failed to make the tackle where it really counts-at their end. There were too many high tackles and some time spent on tackling practice would pay off, We can't see this piling into a player af- ter he is tackled, either. That's where you get your injuries for no good rea- son. Coach Jerry Higenall has worked wonders with the team and has the complete confidence of his boys. Next on the list is Goderich, in fact, by the time this column appears, that game, too, will be history and Wingham will have two wins to its credit. INSPIRATION IN SHORT SKIRTS- It's no wonder the local lads did so well with seven lovely gals to cheer them on. You did a swell job girls! Some of the young ladies were as athletic as the boys, Keep an eye on them next game, fans, or do I need tq tell you? The team will need a cheering section at the game in Clinton, so 'if you can spare part of your half holiday, be. there. Game time is 3.30. You won't regret it, Musn't forget to mention head linesman Bob 'Hawkeye' Ferguson, who was sweating as much as the players. Must be hardening of the bunions, Robert! Before I forget it, Referee Barry Kayc did a swell job' of keeping the game as clean as it was. MEAFORD MUTTERINGS- Got a scare last week when we heard about Meaford's protest against TOMMY JARDINE playing in two games in the cowbell town. The thought of another trip to that far distant metropolis set us to muttering ourself. However, we were spared, for which we thank our stars. Seems that Mea- ford felt that since Tommy was no longer in our midst he had no right to play, but luckily the Mercurys had the foresight to clear with the WOAA be- forehand. 0 WE TOLD YOU SO- To those Winghamites who kept telling us that our boys didn't have a chance against Lucknow, we would like to point to the first game in the Se- poy town. They didn't exactly roll out the red plush carpet for us and they did keep us longer than we expected,but there are no complaints about the gift they made to us-a beautiful error for which we are most grateful. We don't want to appear greedy, but how about another? The Mercurys are hitting their stride right now, when it counts. There's no need for us to urge all you fans to be at the games because it seems nothing could keep you away. LORNE GARDNER didn't get a home run last Friday niLe, but he did become the father of a son only an hour and a half before game time. Haven't got a cigar, but we'll settle for a home run, Lorne. BATTLE OF THE PITCHERS- The battle of the pitchers is on be- tween Guy Sparrow, our local hurl- ing ace, and Hall, the dark horse from Lucknow and parts unknown. Our money is on Sparrow to pull us through. The score now stands at one game apiece for each of them. Hall is leading the parade with 35 strikeouts in the two games, followed closely by Sparrow with 33. Couldn't be much closer than that. The Luck- now hurler has had three hits in the 'series so far and Guy Sparrow five. It's going to be a close contest all - the way. HAVE YOU HEARD THIS ONE A truck driver, in a hurry to get to his destination, missed a turn in the road. He ran across a farmer's yard and straight into the kitchen of the house, where the farmer's wife was cooking a meal. She looked up briefly, then nonchalantly went on stir- ring the stew on the stove. The truck driver, somewhat confused and em- barassed, managed to blurt out: "Can you tell me how to get to Hagers- town?" "Yep," answered the woman calmly, "straight past the dining-room table, then turn right beyond the piano." Fred Astaire, the famous actor and dancer, was good enough as a ball player to play with a semi-pro team. Humphrey Bogart, tough boy of the movies, was once a school track star.
