HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance-Times, 1951-12-12, Page 8IN THE spoRTLIGHT BySports FORBURG WINGlEfAlg HAS A BASKETBALL TEAM Wingham really has a basketball, team this year and no mistake, Lis- towel fell to the tune of 49 to 28 in an exhibition game before the big guns of Bob 'One Hand' Ferguson and ;Jerry 'Try Again' Higenell, the sharp passing of Johnny 'Bowl 'Em Over' crevyson, 'Dead Eye Dick' Lloyd's spec- tacular shots, the rugged guarding of Scotty 'Muscles' Jackson and Art 'Foul Shot' Martin, and the speed of Brian 'Flat on his Back' Metcalfe. Oh yes, mustn't forget the very excellent substituting of Lorne 'Short Stop' Kennedy, Al 'Spectacles' Williams and Al 'Dead Beat' Forberg. Must admit though, Listowel was slightly hampered by having no subs. These guys are pretty good and with the same turnout should bring loads of honor to Wingham in baskets. The next game is scheduled for Wednesday nite here, Here is a wonderful opportunity for some alert merchant to sponsor a winning team and put Wingham on the basketball map. Right now the boys need some sweaters so they can tell one another from the opposing team. The skins and shirts business is liable to end up with someone catching pneumonia, THIS AND THATA..- Must be some sort of record—playing golf in December, Larry Hutton, a real enthusiast, was out on the local course last week, Cheer up, the golf season will soon be here, . .

Town Basketballers Trim Listowel The final score of 49 to 28 will give some idea of the one-sided exhibition basketball contest waged at the Ar- mouries last Wednesday night. It was a case of age and experience tri- umphing over youth and speed. The Listowel squad came without any substitutes at all and by the end of the game were completely exhausted. Wingham suffered from the same lack of players last year but this season have at least two fine teams. Top scorer for the Wingham team was Bob Ferguson with a grand total of 16 points, closely followed by Jerry Higenell with 16, Johnny Crewson aid Jack Lloyd both earned six apiece Brian Metcalfe four, Scotty Jackson two and Art Martin one. Skelding for Listowel was best around the basket with 14 points. Wingham looked good around the basket, although almost as many points were missed as were earned, The boys lack condition but by the middle of the season should ke "hot". Palmerston will be here Wednesday night. BELMORE Library Board Meets A meeting of the Library Board was held at the home of Mrs. Mc- Nee last Tuesday night and quite a number of new books were selected for the Library. These have been ordered. The Huron County Library truck called again Friday morning and left some new books too, as now that the winter season is here it is hoped there will be more time for reading. The people of the commun- ity are invited to come to Mrs. Mc- Nee's and look over the books. It is felt there is quite a varied selection, a book for every need. Rev. M. Baillie made some calls on the people of Belmore congrega- tion last Friday. Ross McKague drove him around. Rev. Baillie still finds driving in this country rather awkward, as in Ireland they always drive on the left side of the road. Santa Claus Parade Belmore and community were well represented at the Santa Claus par- ade in Teeswater last Saturday and it was well worth going to see and not quite so crowded as in Toronto. Euchre Party A euchre was held in the Btlmore community hall on Monday evening last, with sixteen tables in play. Mrs. Chas. Cathers and Mrs. Lloyd Mont- gomery were high for the ladies and Win. Taylor and Wm. Meritley re- ceived the prizes for the men. George Merkley won the lucky chair prize. Mr. and Mrs. Clark Renwick and Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Haskins were conven- ers for this gathering. School Concerts The teachers and the children in the various schools are busy prepar- ing for their concerts. Lane's School Will held their concert on Monday night, Dec, 17; S,S. No. 1, Howick, on Wednesday night, Dec. 19; Belmore concert on Thursday, Dec. 20th and the Belmore United Church S.S. on Friday, Dee. 21. Personals Mrs. Ed.

The word that comes down from the island now is that "minors are getting liquor evidently without any trouble., three such were on a Week's drunk," "The Canada Temper- ance Act no longer exists but drink- ing among minors does." "Dances Np-'11-Me.000gg-AC-4AM-fZWW.O.Z1ZirZ4244-=;-f have had to be stopped even in the (a.o.)
