The local Kinsmen Bantams had It all over the out-of-towners from the time the first puck was dropped until the final buzzer, The game was play- ed prior to the scheduled exhibition game with Listowel which was can- celled, Jim Lockridge stood at the top of the scoring ladder with four goals, Captain Dougie Murray trailed with three and three assists, Rae and Fry each scored twice. There were only four penalties handed out, all in the second period, The refereeing chore was well handled by Murray Gerrie and Neil Stainton.

Gir1.5" Team Takes To Arena Ice In case you haven't heard Wing- ham now has a girl's hockey team and a "pretty" good one too, They played two games to date and won them both, Last Tuesday night the gals met Brussels on the first half of a double- header program and came out on top with a score of 4-1. A good sized crowd enjoyed every minute of it, What the girls lacked in skill they made up in energy. Referees Murray Gerrie and Neil Stainton only found it necessary to call one penalty, in what was a clean fought contest. Even though they did put many of their passes right onto the opposi- tion sticks, the gals looked attractive on the ice and seemed to have a lot goin . td see.ss, of fla Theft games are well worth Wig:Miens—Goal, Mary Hotchkiss; ,defence,' lYonna Gerrie, Mary Rae, Barbara Merrick, Marjorie Scott; forwards, Mary Louise Town, Mar- lene Stainton, Marion Chittick, Don- alda MacDonald, Nancy Hutchison; .centres, Alice Hayden, Mary Frances Currie.

SMALL APPLIANCE RE IRS PLAYOFF TIME—Intermediates— Wingharn can be well proud of the showing made by their various. hockey teams during the past regular season, The Mohawks finished on top of their Intermediate group over Goderich, Kincardine and Clinton RCAF. Considering that this is their first season as a town team, with the players running their own affairs, 'the boys have really done well, We mustn't forget the very able coaching from the bench by Roy Bonner and the promotion work by Business Manager Bert Mather& These two fellows get a share of the credit. Tuesday night the Mohawks met Kincardine here and we'll call it a win for Wingharn. Kingardine ousted the RCAF Flyers last week Spitfires Squeeze 6=5 Win Over Walkerton Stainton Spitfires defeated their traditional enemies, Walkerton in an exhibition game last Friday night on Walkerton ice, 6-5, in overtime. It was a close fought contest all the way, with Anderson firing the first goal for the Spitfires only to have Walkerton take a 3-2 lead at the end of the first period, By the end of the second, Walkerton was leading 5-3, The Spits evened it up in the last period, with Rose netting the tying goal at the two minute Mark, Neither team scored after that until Anderson shot in the winner at 8.38 of overtime play. Murray Gerrie and Kieth Ander- son gathered in most of the markers, with two apiece. Thomson and Rose scored one each. The refereeing was handled by Jack Hauert and George Zuk.

Town Hoopsters Down Clinton on 39=36 Count * Complete Repair Service * AU Work Guaranteed Quick Repairs on all types. oy scoring A fast slskatingini ewillihedrry high centre for the Wingham Mohawks, Roy Dewberry is playing his third year for the local Interniediates. One of the 'smaller players on the team, Roy is always dangerous around the net. Jumping to the Inter- mediate ranks at 16, Roy, who is now 26, played Intermediate hockey for Harriston until three years agp when he signed with the Stainton Spitfires. Previous to that, he was on the Har- riston Juvenile team which won an OHA championship. He played Juve- nile for three years. Roy has always played centre and in his own words, "I would get lost in another position." Married, he has two young daugh- ters and works for Fry & Blackball in their machine shop. TURNBERRY COUNCIL APPOINTS ROAD SUPT. Paced by Bob Ferguson and Jerry Higenell the Wingham hoopsters squeezed out a three point victory in overtime against Clinton Comets. The final score was 39-36. It was a close game and a thriller all the way. At half time the Wing- ham squad led 18-15. Nearing the end of the game Clinton at one time had assumed a seven point lead which the locals proceeded to whittle down. Bob Ferguson was the hero of the drama scoring the tying basket with only a few seconds to play. In the overtime play, Ferguson netted two baskets and Clinton sank one foul shot. Humphreys was the big gun for the Comets with 14 points. The locals will meet Clinton RCAF and possibly Strathroy in several exhibition fix- tures sometime soon.

He also plays golf, but fishing is his 'favourite occupation. * * 4uveSniltartton Spitfires, which is a pretty big name to live up to, was given an added polish by the Juvenile team which now carries that title. Percy Stainton, who has sponsored quite a few Intermediate championship teams, seems to have picked a winner again. Undefeated in their regular schedule, the Spitfires won an exhibition game against Walkerton last week. Wednesday night they meet Arthur here in the first playoff game. Coach Sparky Weiler and Manager, Percy Stainton, Midgets— The Lions-sponsored Midgets didn't make the finals, losing the big one to Seaforth, but they will play some exhibition games before the season ends. These boys showed a lot of fight and will provide some good talent for the Juvenile ranks soon. Coach and' Manager Harry Gerrie also gets a bouquet for a fine job. * * * Bantams— Last but by far from the least are Kinsmen Bantams, who have been giving the hockey fans an eyeful on Saturday nights in exhibition games before the Intermediate tilts. They haven't lost a regular game yet, which is something to be proud of. The Bantams drew a bye and will probably meet Seaforth in the playoffs, Coach Jack Lloyd, who also plays for the Mohawks, has the kids really . playing hockey. Vie Loughlean has also helped look after the youngsters. * * * Oh! we shouldn't forget that the girls now have a hockey team. They'll probably be wanting to put on rugby equipment next and take over the gridiron, Seriously, these gals are pretty good, so watch out fellows. * * * FOUL SHOTS The High School basketball season has ended and we understand this is one of Wingham's best seasons yet, if not the best. The Seniors in particu- lar just missed the boat and a four way tie with Clinton, Goderich and Seaforth when they lost the last game to Goderich. We figured they did pretty well and there's a better season coming next year, for sure. Coach Jerry Higenell, who was responsible for the rugby team's best season to date, has given his charges tome know-how on the floor. Ken Saxton complains that he thought he had a shadow, last Thursday, when his Goderich opposite stuck to him like glue. This sort of threw Ken off his usual scoring form and he didn't get as many of those rebounds as usual. Tough, luck Ken, we'll have to speak to that Goderich player. Gord Lane was put on as a forward, from his usual defence position, and went on a scoring spree. The Juniors, who are the High School's basketball hopes in the future, fared better than was predicted for them. With only two experienced players on the floor, they conducted themselves well. Art Martin, handled the coaching chore, but he hasn't revealed his secret strategy yet. Now for the girls. Not only did they look attractive on the floor but they could play basketball which surprised us no end. In fact there are several good prospects for the Senior Boys' team which Coach Higenell should scout. The coach, Mrs. Williams, had high hopes for her, girls and we don't think they disappointed her. GOSSIP COLUMN There is a vile rumour circulating around town that a member of the town basketball team in the heat of last Wednesday's game against Clinton, took a shot at his own basket. Unfortunately this is true, but he told us privately that he only wanted to get his name in the paper so we are leaving it out to spite him. Anybody game for 18 holes of golf? Understand that Coach Bill Conron who has taken to the basketball floor with his squad of characters, has lost one inch of his waistline—still plenty to go Bill. InseTribute to Our Beloved Monarch King George VI On Parade ! Seaforth Midgets Oust Local Team The Wingham Lions Midgets were knocked out of the midget running last Tuesday night, by a high flying Seaforth team. Leading 4-3 at the tail end of the third, the Seaforthers scored five in the last to win going away. Waine was the scoring ace for Wingham, netting three of their four tallies, and assisting in the other. Captain Arnold Taylor got the other one. Lane was tops for the out of town- ers with four goals and McClinchy came through with two. The locals looked to be the best team up until the third, when Wing- ham couldn't get going. Wingham lia,d trouble getting the puck out of their territory and this generally led to a Seaforth tally. Jerry Fry playing forward looked good, passing nicely and being robbed of several shots that appeared cer- tain. Arnold Taylor played a good two-way game as usual, Lott, Lack- ridge and Nicol were outstanding. The locals will continue to play exhibition games although •they are Wingham—Goal, Storey; Defence, Hopper, Lott ;Centre, Taylor; Wings, Fry, Waine; Alternates, Spielvogel, Breckenridge, Lancaster, Lockridge, Laidlaw, Nicol, Hayden. Seaforth—Goal, Crozier; Defence, Pallman, McMillan; Centre, Muir; Wings, Rowland, Lane; Alternates, McIlwain, McClinchy, Horten, Taylor, Murray, Savage, Geddes, Henderson. On Monday night the 99th Battery held its regular weekly parade at the Armouries. The parade was drawn up by Sgt. Major Bill Harris. The Band carried on their usual practice in the local Fire Hall. G. troop members who held driver's standing orders wrote a driver's test for Army drivers. This was supervis- ed by Sgt. Bill Grover, H. troop had a period of foot drill by Sgt.-Major Jim Cameron and later a period on map reading by Capt. W. S. Hall. This group of recruits is showing keen interest to date and promises to be one of the best groups enrolled in some time. The official word has come out re Summer Camp. The 21st. Regiment will go to Petawawa for the week of June 21st-28th. There will be very few Permanent Force instructors this year, so Reserve Force Units will be carrying on their own training programs and administration. Be sure to arrange your holidays for the above date if you are a member of the 21st. Regiment. This camp promises to be the best in years. In keeping with the national state of mourning for our late Monarch, King George VI, all officers are wearing black arm bands, "The Dead King" And God poured him an exquisite wine, That was daily renewed to him, In the clear-welling love of his peoples That was daily accrued to him, Honour and service eve gave him, rejoicing- ly fearless faith absolute, trust beyond speech and a friendship as peerless, And since he was master and servant in all that we asked him, We leaned hard on his wisdom in all things, knowing not how we tasked him, We accepted his toil as our right—none spared, none excused him, When he was bowed by his burden, his rest was refused him, Rudyard Kipling, The regular meeting of council was held in Bluevale, on Monday, Febru- ary 4, at one o'clock, with all mem- bers present.

Starting in the bantam ranks, Jack climbed up through the Juvenile and Junior levels to the Intermediates. In the 1939-40 season, he played on a Juvenile championship team here. Joining the newly formed Intermed- iate team in Wingham, just after the war, Jack helped the locals defeat Mitchell for the championship. He remembers that the play-offs went late in the season and some of the games were played with water on the ice. Jack played the following year with the Intermediates also. He managed the Juvenile team three years ago. Last year he played in the Wingham Industrial League for Fry & Blackhall, Four years with the Army Service Corps broke up his hockey career but while in England he played hoc- key for Scotland. Now with the Mo- hawks, lie plays either left wing or defence.
