Only a shade of their former selves, the local boys couldn't get untracked and gave a dull performance. 4 ;,.`t This is the best game we have seen played by the Kincardine Gaels this season and if they can keep up the pace they deserve to go all the way, Tommy Wilson earned the admiration of the Wingham fans, as well as Arthur supporters. We hear a rumour to the effect that Tommy may join, the Wingham Intermediates next season. We don't believe in long-drawn-out post mortems, so don't -intend to analyze the cause of the Mohawks' loss beyond blaming it on a lack of depth in reserves and too many injuries. On the brighter side, looking back over the season, are the goal-tending efforts of Bob Sangster, playing his first year at the Intermediate level, the crowd-pleasing play of Roy Wilson, who enjoy- ed one of his best years, the comeback of Ted English, and the goal scoring of Johnny Crowson, who was banging them in until a broken nose slowed him down. Coael-sRoy Banner, for our money, did very well, starting practically from scratch, and had the boys working hard for him all season. We understand the practice sessions lost a lot of their popularity later in the season, so hope the fellows don't make that mistake again next year. Johnny Brent says that Wednesday's game was his last and he is hanging up his skates for gohd. Just wave a hockey stick under his nose next year and see what happens, The largest crowd of the 1951-52 hockey season jammed into Wing- ham's ice emporium over 1,700 strong, to watch the Wingham Mo- hawks absorb a 9-4 drubbing from the Kincardine Gaels in a one-sided contest which eliminated the locals from the group playoffs. It was the deciding victory for Kincardine in a best of five series and the Gaels earn- ed the right to meet Goderich Samis Pontiaes in the finals. Tommy Wilson and Dolson were the two biggest thorns in Wingham's side. Dolson, who was starting in his first playoff game this season, broke up most of the Mohawks' plays be- fore they even got started. Tommy Wilson was the outstanding player on the ice, having a hand in six of the nine Kincardine tallies, scoring two himself and assisting in four other goals. Bob Sangster, Wingham goalie, must have felt awfully lonely at times guarding his net, with shots pouring in from all sides but he kept his head and was one of the main- stays of the team. Bill Lockridge, Ted English and Jim Gebhart were tops for the locals and sparked the team. Bill Lockridge banged in two in a row in the third period both from Ted English in what looked like the beginning of a Wingham rally but the Mohawks never got going. Ted scored the first goal of the game and was a fighter all the way. Geb- hart has shown a marked improve- * * Oa • Mrs. Clarence Richey Buried at Arnprior Requiem mass was sung in St. John Chrysostom Church, Arnprior, on Monday morning for Mrs, Clar- ence Richeyo of Wingham, daughter of the late R.

Dickson i Died in Toronto STAINTON SPI1 IRES Wingham's hockey hopes for the 1951-52 season now rest on the shoulders of the Juveniles and the Bantams. The Stainton Spitfires gave a good sized crowd of Wingham and Arthur fans a look at a fast, hard checking, high scoring team last Saturday night. Leading the best-of-five series two games to one, the Spitfires appear to have it all over the Arthur squad. The final score of 9-1 gives an indication of the one-sided contest. Goalie Ken Gregg missed his shutout with only two minutes to go and gave one of the nicest performances it has been our pleasure to see at the Juvenile level. Coach Sparky Weiler has his charges well drilled in passing, shooting and checking, Their checking is probably a little too good and too rugged, what with 13 penalties called on them Saturday night and the same story the game before in Arthur. We hope that too many penalties won't spoil their chances. This is a good brand of hockey and local fans can be sure of an action- packed evening's entertainment at any of the Juvenile games. • Stripe and Figured Mercerized Broad- cloth, 36 inches wide, Tubfast. a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a • a U U U a a U U a a a • a 1 • 79c yard I.','igured Dimity, White .and Pastel Grounds, 36 inches wide, Tubfast.

Stainton Spitfires wound up their semi-finals against Arthur Juveniles winning three games to one and earning the right to meet either Southampton or Kincardine in the W.O.A.A. Juvenile finals. Monday night's game in Arthur was practically a repeat performance of Saturday night's game here. Ar- thur didn't score until 13.45 of the last period. The final score was 9-1. Penalties were evenly divided eight to Wingham and eight to Arthur. Thompson was top goal-getter for 'the Spitfires with three counters. Keih Anderson netted two and Bud Lott also came through with two plus four assists. Howe spoiled Ron Mur- ray's chance at a shutout with the only Arthur goal.

Stainton Spitfires took over the lead in the Wingham-Arthur playoffs two games to one, Saturday night in the local rink, by downing the Arthur Juveniles 10-1. It was a one-sided contest all the way With the Spitfires taking charge completely. Young Ken Gregg missed his shutout with only two minutes to play in the game. It was a heartbreaker as he had played a fine game in goal and had earned his shutout all the way. It was a rugged game with the Wingham boys drawing 13 penalties against Arthur's six. Two of the Spitfires defencemen, Chittick and G. Gerrie earned most of the penalties, Chittick getting five and Gerrie three. Leading the scoring parade were Bud Lott, Keith Anderson and D. Thompson each with two goals. The Arthur squad lacked organiza- tion and didn't seem to be able to stand up on their skates, A heavier Wingham team kept them on their backs as much as they were on their feet. Hunter scored the lone Arthur tally at 18.10, in one of the few dan- gerous rushes by that team during the genie. Coach Sparky Weiler had his boys hustling all night and except for a number of unnecessary penalties they looked like winners all the way. Several times the Spitfires were play- ing with only three men on the ice besides the goalies and not once did Arthur score when Wingham was penalized. This was a tribute to if players like Bud Lott, Neil Stainton, I Murray Gerrie and others who kept the puck in enemy territory, Referees R. McFadden and A. Mac- Lean had things under control all the way. Spitfires Lose Overtime Game to Arthur 4,2 Stainton Spitfires dropped the sec- ond game of their playoff series with Arthur Juveniles 4-2 in a close con- test that went ten minutes overtime. The series is now tied up one game each. It was a tight game all the way with neither team scoring in either the first or second periods. In the third period Arthur started the scor- ing with a goal by Anderson. Len Hutton tied it up at 11.45 and Rose netted the next one to give the Spit- fires the lead at. 13.25. Howe scored the tying Arthur goal at 13.08. In overtime play the Spitfires pick- ed up a penalty for having seven men on the lee, Arthur scored two tallies in overtime to put the game on ice. Wingham was penalized 11 times and Arthur three by Referees Louis Masai() and Phil Burke, FEATURING SIMPLIFIED SELECTION FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE AND SHOPPING PLEASURE tutes and had to play their best men with little rest. Dougie Murray, who played practically the whole game, scored four goals, and put up a fine demonstration of hockey. Both coaches have their charges well drilled on passing and shootiag with Seaforth having the edge in de- fensive play. Jim Campbell was another standout for the local Ban- tams scoring twice. Red Houghton and Ken Hodgkinson. netted a goal each. With a little more than a minute to play in overtime, Coach Vie Loughlean pulled out his goalie, and put six men forward. Murray, cap- tain of the Seaforth squad, got a I lucky breakaway and lobbed the puck into the empty net to cinch the game. • Bantams Drop First Game to Seaforth is moving to Woodstock next month, The' evening was spent in dancing and games.

H. McAllister, Ripley. I The game played here Monday night between Seaforth 1 and Wing- ham Bantams proved to be an eye opener to the crowd of hockey fans present. Seaforth won in overtime, scoring two goals, but these two teams are so closely matched this promises to be one of the most ex- citing championship series yet. The final score was Seaforth-10, Wing- ham-8, At the end of the first period, the score was tied three all. At the end of the second period Wingham had picked up a one goal lead arid were ahead 6-5. After a see-saw battle in the last frame the score was tied 8-8. Seaforth took over control in over- time and scored two goals while the local boys failed to score. Only four penalties were called by referees Ted English and Ron Broome, in a clean fought contest, Tempers flared a little near the end but the lads settled down to play hoTlie ckey. rand of hockey that these two teams are playing is remarkable, At times It was hard to tell whether it was a bantam game or midget.

Motor ear dealers Baptist Young People The regular Meeting of the Baptist Young People was held Sunday even- ing. The meeting opened with a number of choruses, followed by the hymn "Showers of Blessing." Ruth Cantelon read a very interesting poem entitled "If We Could See Beyond To-day," arid a very informative Bible quiz was conducted by Frank Collar. Mrs, George Scott gave an inspiring devotional "Soul Winning," based on the booklet by Dr, Bing- barn. Ruth Cantelon favoured with a solo, "Will There lie Any Stars /ri My Grant?" after which Pastor devle closed with 1114V.,&* It was a clean fought game throughout and referees Jim Boddy and Coe Shears called only five pen- alties and handled the game sans re- proach, First Period Kincardine players had evidently been given instructions to back check for all they were worth and they really followed orders. From the time the first puck was dropped Wingham looked like a shade of the former team and the Gaels played their best game of the season. Ted English scored the first goal of the game at 11.52 but Kincardine roared back with Courtney tying it up at 15.42 and the first period ended with the score 1-1. Wilson and Crewson both seem- ed to be away off their usual game. Second Period The saddest was yet to come in the second frame. Kincardine, with Tom Wilson leading the attack, poured in four goals and Wingham couldn't get by the Gaol's defence or the ex- pert net minding of goalie Piatowski. Gebhart picked up a tripping penalty and Wing,ha!M was scored on twice during this penalty. Third Period The Mohawks didn't start fighting back until Lockridge led a spurt at 5.05 of the third and again at 5.16. The Gaels came back with three goals and then each side netted one apiece. Johnny Brent was hustling both ways and assisted in the last goal.
