WEDNESDAY, ITEI3KIJARy a, lege' By George Porter Basketball Clinton Collegiate Institute made a clean sweep in their first game with Wingham last week. Playing bete° a handful of stu- dents in a cold gymnasium at Clinton our girls grimaced to a 30-3 lacing. The more rapid passing of their plaid skirted opposition was perhaps one of the reasons for Wingham's defeat. Late in the first quarter Jean Bain, for Wingham twisted her ankle and had to be carried from the floor, The only Wingham scorers were Pat Bro- phy with 2 points and Jean Hobden with 1, Joanne Castle netted 12 points for Clinton. Playing a taller, faster Clinton team which had previously defeated Stratford 35-24 the Wingham Jr. boys went down 42-7 . Although Clinton led from the start and had a 23-3 lead piled up by the half, Wingham played their hearts out until the final whistle. Pete Campbell and Doug Murray headed Wingham's scorers while John Hartley bagged 16 of Clinton's points. During the first half of the third game our seniors fought a see saw battle leading 10-6 at quarter time and trailing only 15-18 at the half. Clinton found itself then and racked up 31 points, Wingham countered with only 12 more. John Hanna did some remarkable shooting in the third quarter sinking 3 foul shots one after the other and rimming a fifth. Both Des Brophy and Rec. Lane played a good game at guard while Ken Saxton led in the scoring department. Jack Porter and Cliff Talbot were the highest scorers for Clinton. Coach Higenell blames the loss on our slow and inaccurate passing. Forget the passing and we have a first class team. Seniors Lick Clinton Playing a return series in the Wingham Armouries last Thursday afternoon Clinton 'Collegiate Institute saw our senior boys put on an exhi- bition of almost flawless basketball. Saxton, Hanna, Cameron and Brophy stood out a bit perhaps but every member on the team played a skil- ful, fast, hard game. The refereeing was very close from the first whistle to the last, Four- teen fouls were handed out in the first quarter alone. Clinton led 8-6 at quarter time but as the last quarter came up Wingham was ahead 30-26. During the final two minutes the tension was overpowering, coach Higenell chewed away on one of his fingers, the time keepers peered sus- piciously over each other's shoulder arid the cheer leaders cut loose. The last whistle sounded and the score read Wingham 34, Clinton 32. Clinton's top point getters were captain John Wilson with 11 points and Jack Porter with 9, In tne 2nd game our junior boys were defeated by Clinton. Although Windham led 7-2 at the end of the first quarter it couldn't keep its lead and eventuell7 it leveled up on the small side of a 29-13 score. Wingham had a greatly improved team on the floor but it still showed a lack of practice, Allan Mitchell helped Olin- ton with 12 points while Pete Camp- bell led Wingham with 5. The last game was a rough, tough, slugfest all the way. The loss of Jean Bain due to a sprained ankle apparently didn't deter our girls. We trailed throughout the entire game, but never by more than 4 points. The final score was 14-11 for Clinton. The only ones to score for Wingham were Jean Hobden with 8 points and Pat Brophy with 3.
