Last Wednesday the Wing -
ham Mustangs came up with
one of their best games of the
season to upset Clinton 14-6 at
Clinton. Their victory in this
sudden death play-off sent them
into the Perth -Huron Conferen-
ce final against Goderich, who
had finished first in the regular
season. Clinton was second,
Wingham third.
Clinton drew first blood as
soon as they got the ball, with
a touchdown pass to a fullback.
(As coach Campbell said the
next day over the P.A. system,
Wingham had a pass defense to
cover the halfbacks and ends;
but Clinton, in a rather un-
sportsmanlike gesture, sent
down a fullback.) The touch-
down was not converted. How-
ever, the Mustangs tied it up
on a Don McDowell to Doug

Play see -sawed back and
forth until very late in thegame
when John Watson scored a
touchdown for Wingham, The
convert made the score 14-6,
The Mustangs kicked off af-
ter the touchdown and appeared
to have the receiver trapped
deep in his own end when he
suddenly made a long pass
across field to a teammate who
raced the length of the field for
a touchdown, Fortunately, the
play was called back and the
T, D. was annulled since the
attempted lateral had gone for-
ward. The game ended with no
further scoring.
Locked Lockers
Mr. Wood, a science teach-
er at W.D.H.S. has seen fit to
make an announcement to the
effect that students who leave
their lockers unlocked will have
their locks confiscated, to be
returned on the payment of a
100 fine. Those caught a sec-
ond time will lose the use of
their lockers. We hope the
money raised will be used for
some meritorious purpose such
as encouraging students to stay
in school.
Magazine Drive
The campaign to sell maga-
zines continued at the high
school although sales were
down from last year. High
salesmen on Monday and Tues-
day of last week were Harry
Brook and Mary Ann Burns.
Around $160.00 was brought in
on each of these days. To en-
courage potential salesmen,
the names of two students have
been put in sealed envelopes
along with $5.00. The enve-
lopes will be opened after the
drive is over and the pupils in
question will receive the mon-
ey, provided they have sold at
least one subscription.

ERNIE RICHARDSON'S
CURLING
CAPSULES
By ERNIE RICHARDSON
There is a possibility I
might be slightly biased in
favor of curling—I feel it's
about the finest game in
Canada's galaxy of sports.
In my new weekly column
this season I hope to prove
my point through instruc-
tions, illustrations, high-
lights and general curling
items of interest to begin-
ners and experts alike.
Curling's popularity has
swept across the country—
especially Eastern Canada
—like one of our prairie
grass fires, and the in-
crease in new clubs and
players is almost getting
out of control.
That is only one proof
that curling is an entertain-
ing, interesting, exacting
a n d highly competitive
game requiring skill, accur-
acy, concentration and as
much physical effort as a
player wishes to put into
the game.
I feel that curling takes
every bit as much skill and
concentration as golfing,
and it has the big advan-
tage of being a team game.
This could be why curling is
becoming very popular with
golfers and players in other
sports.
Any team sport brings out
co-operation between play-
ers and the friendships and
sociability not found as
often in individual sports.
Curling, like any other
team sport has rivalry for
positions on the team—or
rink — a n d team rivalries
develop from the club game
level right through to cham-
pionship bonspiels.
DESIRE FIRST
I find that you can get
just as much pleasure and
competition from a friendly

arrive at the school until around

club match as in a cham-
pionship. I believe, how-
ever, that you should aI-
ways have the desire to win
if you expect to get the
most enjoyment out of any
game,
Another feature of curl-
ing is that young and old
can play, starting from
high school age or earlier
to 70 or more, provided
they are physically capable.
It is not necessary to be
strong physically to be a
curler because the amount
of effort put into the game
depends on the individual.
The game may look
simple to those who have
no knowledge of curling,
but it demands proper in-
structions, study and the
desire to improve to become
a reasonably good curler.
The demands are much
more for those who hope to
be champions. The mem-
bers of my rink join me in
vouching for that point.
Curling has to be played
to be fully enjoyed and to
this every curler will agree.
You can enjoy watching
good games by experienced
players, even as a begin-
ner, but it is much more
interesting to be actually
taking part.
But watching experts in
action is a good way to
learn the game, especially
the stance, balance, timing
and co-ordination in the de-
livery. The strategy and
general knowledge of the
game comes through ex-
perience in competition.
Then there's the after -
game discussions—or post
mortems—as they are call-
ed. Valuable pointers can
be picked up from these
sessions, especially by a
good listener.
It doesn't take years of
play to become a champion
at curling. At least not if
you have the same good
fortune I have had in my
10 yea'rs in the game.
I started when 21 and
after five years won my
first Brier and World cham-
pionship in 1959. Three
other Canadian and World
titles have followed since
with the wonderful help of
my team, my brother Gar-
net and cousins Wes and
Arnold. For our 1963 cham-
pionships we had a fine
young curler, Mel Perry, at
lead, replacing Wes who
was unable to curl because
of a back ailment.
Next week we'll get down
to details on some of those
tricky shots you'll be facing
this season.
Systems "Go" For Coin Show
All systems are labeled "Gd
and things seem to be "A -OK"
for the opening of the 2nd an-
nual coin exhibition, sponsored
by the Huron County Numisma-
tic Club on November 17. The
Elm Haven Motor Motel in Clin-
ton is the scene of "blast off".
Many attractive exhibits
such as the Bank of Nova Scotia
antique bank display, a large
collection of old Canadian
Banknotes, ancient coins ap-
prox. 2000 years old, and ex-
tensive display of Canadian To-
kens, and a large collection of
war medals, are a few of the
many displays that will be on
exhibit.
One of the most valuable
displays will be that of the King
of Canadian Coins, the 1921
Belgrave Wins
Championship
The Belgrave Intermediates
defeated Linwood 5-1 and thus
ousted them in three straight
games and by so doing captur-
ed the Western Ontario Athletic
Association Softball Champion-
ship and the Wingham Western
Foundry Trophy.
The Belgrave boys played
seven teams in playoff compe-
tition and had a record of 21
wins and 6 losses, thus termin-
ating their best season ever.
The members of the Bel-,
grave team would like to thank
all the fans who have followed
and supported their team dur-
ing this past season.

HEARTY THANKS
The Boy Scout paper drive
last Saturday was very success-
ful. The Group Committee ex-
tends appreciation to all who
assisted and for the loan of the
truc,cs. This is the first time
the Scouts have collected paper
and the money raised through
this project will be appreciated
by the association in assisting
with Scouting in Wingham.
U.C.W. Meets at
Fitch Home
BELMORE—The October
meeting of the Delmore 1.1,C. W.
was held on Wednesday at the
home of Mrs. Alvin Fitch with
eleven ladies present. Mrs. Joe
Simmons was in charge of the
meeting which was opened with
a service of worship. Two
hymns were sung and Mrs. Sim-
mons read the Scripture and led
in prayer.
Mrs. Ira Neil conducted the
study of "The Word and the
Way" and Mrs. Wilfred Johann
read the other study book "As
Asia Goes", The roll call was
a verse on remembrance. Mrs.
Simmons closed with prayer.
COMMERCIAL LEAGUE
Things were fairly quiet,
probably due to the fact that
the Mohawks and the Apaches
were not bowling side by side.
Our thanks to Eleine Colvin,
Vicki Wild, Al Hafermehl and
Jack Walker for sparing. If
Jack Walker had not had the
bad luck to leave that right-
hand corner pin standing so of-
ten, he might have come up
with a terrific game. Better
luck next time, Jack.
Team standings: Hurons 33;
Iroquois 32; Crees 3; Sioux 29;
Mohawks 15; Apaches 13.
Standings are very close, but it
is still early enough for any-
thing to happen.
Shirley Storey took the high
single with 270 and as well, the
high triple with '174, which, in
any language, is a very nice
score, Norman Cameron also
kept both honors for himself,
taking the high single with 275
and the high triple with 644.
Maxine Taylor took neither
high single nor high triple, but
she came up with a very good
game, so remember, Maxine,
your team is expecting great
things from you.
