It all happened for Dave Morrissey and Peter Oud when their Merger won the prestigious Little Brown Jug in Delaware, Ohio and a purse of $106,000. Merger who set records last year as a two year-old was syndicated earlier this year for 8.2 million won the first division of the Little Brown Jug in 1.55.3 and came back four races later to capture the big one in a time of 1.56.3 in reasonably easy fashion over the other heat winners Temu- jin and McKinzie Almahurst. After the race Dave Mor- rissey said, "Winning the Lit- tle Brown Jug is like having a dream come true. He raced like a real champion." The three year-old son of Albatross who was bred by former Montreal Canadian star John Ferguson will now be taking aim at 'the Messenger Stakes at Roosevelt Raceway in New York in October. The Messenger is the third leg of harness racing's triple crown and a second win for Merger would mean his syn- dication returns could rise to 15 million. The top two year-old of a year ago is now owned joint- ly by Morrissey, Oud, driver John Campbell and the syn- dicate of Mort Finder and Lou Guide. According to Morrissey, the top syndication figure depended on winning two legs of the triple crown. As Merger did not win the Cane, he must do so in the Messenger. As a two year-old Merger set a record for his age category of 1.53.4 at Lex- ington, Kentucky. The big win was also a dream come true for Nairn native John Campbell. A year ago he was in Grady Memorial Hospital in Delaware after being injured in the first elimination heat of the same race. Campbell's main comment after Thursday's victory was, "This is the best horse I have ever had. Today, he finally had his day." It was Merger's first start in about a month and the layoff proved to be very beneficial as he came four wide at the three-quarters mark to take the lead and win handily in the first division. Merger's earnings for 1981 and this year now total $440,000.

T -A photo New team outlook This year's 'edition of the South Huron junior girls' basketball team certainly has a brand new look! Of 15 team members 10 are playing inter- school basketball for the first time and the remaining five holdovers generally saw limited action last season. Because of this lack of depth, it must be expected that the team will have to learn the hard way and such was the case Monday when the juniors dropped their first league game 34-14 to Stratford Northwestern. In spite of the lopsided score however, there are several bright spots. Irene Brand appears to be headed for an excellent year; provided an ankle injury sus- tained in Monday's game is Jim Drake, from Centralia, your area Snap-On Tool dealer, presents Brain Went with $500.00.

The seniors In a real defen- sive battle edged Stratford Central 2-0 while the junior team downed Central Huron by a score of 16-8. After the senior win, coach Ron Bogart commented, "We were lucky to come out at halftime without any score as Stratford Central threatened at the final whistle." The South Huron win coupl- ed with a loss by the Goderich Vikings to Norwell prompted Bogart 'to add, "With Goderich losing our win real- ly amounts to a four pointer." The only time either team came near to a touchdown was in the dying minutes of the first half when. Stratford moved inside the Panthers five yard line and failed to score on the next three plays. The only South Huron points came on singles kick- ed by Chris Van Gerwen in the third and fourth quarters. They went 45 and 35 yards, respectively. Neither team could manage much offence.
