SPORTS ROUND-UP 11,
BASKETBALL BILGE—
Have you OW wondered what goes on (if anything) in a basketball play-
er's head like DE'AlD-EYE DRIBBLE, while he is rushing madly up and down
t he floor? You naven't, well here goes the inner musings of a basketball play-
er named Dead Eye Dribble alias The Drip:
"Cad, I ache all over, I really ought to leave this game to the kids, Stopped
smoking yesterday, wonder whether it'll help my wind to-night. Darn it
here comes a pass, got to go pounding in there again. Nuts, missed! It's so
long since I scored a basket, there must be cobwebs over the rim. Look at old
sourpuss, Coach Clunk, over there on the bench sneering. What's lie expect
me to do with these bums I've gotto play with. Maybe they do score a few
more points than I do, but they haven't got my style. Here we go again! If
there were a few good-looking girls in here, I might get a little inspiration
instead it's all perspiration and my respiration is bad, too. Jeez, I should have
been a sports writer, anybody can do that job,
HOCKEY milli SHAPING-UP
The Wingham Intermediate A town team is shaping-up into a fair col-
lection of players but as yet a team hasn't been named. The boys are under
the tutelage of coach ROY BONNER, The puckehasers have had four prac-
tices to date and are getting a fair turn of speed on the ice, particularly
ROY WILSON, who is back once again to give the team one of the fastest
skaters in the league. JOHNNY CREWSON looks pretty sharp and is all set
for a big season, probably his best to date. Others who catch the eye on the
ice are stocky BILL LOCKRIDGE, flashy MORRIS STAINTON, hard-work-
ing ROY DUBERRY, STAN HISELER, BILL HILBERT, BILL KILIAN-
BECK, GEORGE MOFFAT, JIM GEBHART and RAY MERKLEY. BOB
SANGSTER will fill the goal-mouth for the locals and is getting lots of
practice trying to stop those bullet shots of Roy Wilson and Johnny Crew-
those bullet shotsamoW
son. Busines Manager BERT MATHERS has his hands full trying to handle
all the details necessary to get the machiney rolling. The first game is
scheduled. sometime this month, date not yet settled. A full house will show
the boys that we're behind them 100%.

Listowel High School
Wins Six Man Title
Listowel District High School cap-
tured the Wossa Senior "B" sixman
rugby championship for the second
time in three years by defeating Han-
over 14-6 at Listowel last Thursday.
It Was the second game of the two-
game total points series and gave
Listowel the championship 64-12, by
virtue of a previous 50-6 win at Han-
over. The game played on. a wet, mud-
dy gridiron, made it difficult to play
good rugby and as a result blocking
and tackling suffered,
practices have already been held on
neighbouring artificial rinks.
According to present plans all home
games will be played in the "Aililevr-
ton Arena, when ice is not available
in the local rink.
October Traffic Deaths
Less than Year Ago
During October, 101 persons were
killed by motor vehicle accidents in
Ontario, 10 fewer than during the
same month last year when 111 died,
Compared with October of last year
there were sharp drops in the number
killed by collisions between vehicles
or with fixed objects. However there
were slight increases in fatalities
from accidents involving cyclists and
pedestrians,
Safety authorities warn that at this
time of year people on foot face spec-
ial hazards because of earlier dark-
ness and unfavorable weather con-
ditions.
Since January of this year, motor
vehicle accidents have killed 776
people in Ontario, as against 660 in
the corresponding 10-month period of
last year, Of the increase of 116, the
first half of the year accounted for
106, the four months since June for
10.
IN THE SPORTLIGHT
By AL FORBERO
Sports Editor
Palmerston Lays
Hockey Plans
With a definite decision to launch
an Intermediate "B" team in the
W.O.H.A. League, Palmerston, the
Hockey Club Executive met at a spec-
ial meeting in the High School on
Tuesday night. It was felt that a
strong team, drawing on playing tal-
ent from Harriston, Palmerston,
Moorefield, Drayton and Rothsay,
could be iced under the name of "Pal-
merston Lions." This Hockey execu-
tive is a group of citizens who feel
that it would be a waste of materials
to have such a rink as Palmerston
now boasts, and not have a team
using it as home ice.
Chief stumbling block in the pro-
gress of the venture is the perennial
question of finances. To ensure gate
receipts at the first two home games,
the executive hit upon the idea of
selling books of four tickets for two
dollars a book. These tickets will ad-
mit two people to the first two games
and it is hoped to have these books
on sale this week-end or early next
week.
Philip Rogers, president of the club,
was named as delegate to attend the
hockey meeting at Wingham early in
December, to arrange for a desirable
grouping for Palmerston with neigh-
boring clubs.

Well, I'll try a shot from out here, Might as well, I'll never get close
enough anyway, I don't believe it, the ball went in without touching the sides.
Try to look casual now, don't start grinning, even though it is the first basket
for me this year. Look at the surprised look on old Clunk over there, wonder
how I was holding my hands that time—wonder if I can do it again. Nuts, if
I run up this floor again, I'll have blisters on my blisters. Look at this big
galoot guarding me, Every time he waves his arms I get one right in the
eye, Betcha, he's doing it on purpose. just slip him the old elbow
right in the ribs. Wow, is he ever mad! Better steer clear of him for awhile.
Come on pass the ball there butter fingers. Wonder what the score is? That
can't be right, 50 to 16. Guess who's ahead. Come on you guys are we going
to let these bums eat us? On second thought, I guess we are. Wait'll I take
the ball away from this jerk. What'd ya mean, jump ball, I had it, That referee
must be a fugitive from a hockey rink, Here goes, this guy is only two feet
taller than I am. So they got the ball and scored a basket, so what, accidents
' do happen! I need a flying belt to compete will these guys. There ought'a be
a law against these seven footers, Well what d'ya know. I'm getting a penalty
shot, That referee is pretty astute after all or maybe just a stupe, Now take
your time—how do my hands go here—geez that feels uncomfortable, Let's
try it this way. What do they mean, Hurry Up? Here goes. Holy Mackerel,
right over the backboard, O. K., coach, I'm coming off, move over, and give i it. me some bench room."
