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%. To the Electors of Huron 0 Bruce I deeply appreciate your support during the election campaign and on election day.

Game conditions were just about perfect with the stadium gridiron in excellent shape. A crowd of 1,500 wit- nessed the senior final, the third game on the day's card. Don MacMillan's convert of Doug. Stewart's third quarter touchdown proved to be the winning margin in the senior "B" final. St. Patrick's failed to convert Jack Gallivan's second quarter touchdown after the Sarnia back had raced 15 yards for the score. Sarnia had two chances to tie the score or go ahead in the latter stages of the game but each time they were stopped by the Seaforth defences. Late in the third quarter ,the win- ners blocked an attempted Sarnia placement from the Seaforth 25 while right at the end of the game, St. Patrick's marched to the Seaforth four only to he stopped short of pay- dirt, First Quarter, No scoring.

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. e See ur Lovely Listowel Beavers Name Harry Morgan Coach Listowel Beavers will play in an O.H.A. grouping which will include Mitchell, Milverton, Clinton, Centre- ageMFigM9WFWte5WWMAV,RW,ONVOW,OWOW9MMAtt R.C.A.F. .and New Hamburg ac- ,, 4 cording to an announcement made by A Manager Bob Tompkins.

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."
