The Ministry will award $1,000 to 20 schools in Ontario who have the- most successful campaigns. By Jeff Schmidt - For someone who has waited in anxious an- ticipation • for basketball to begin, last week was a godsend. With Mr. Jef- ferson holding tryouts, the junior boys are off to a fresh start with a new coach - best of luck, Mr. J. This year's senior team met for four preliminary practices last week, and began working in earnest on their offence Monday. Mr. Reidy has been scheduling morning practices (groan) but all in the team's best in- terest. He feels the team needs as many practices as possible before their first exhibition trial next Tuesday in Walkerton; this early in the season' that philosophyis valid. Though I will not go as far as to guarantee it, this year the senior team seems determined to win more games than in previous years. The combination of a hard working coach and en- thusiastic players should count for a few victories. And believe me, we want to win. 41 SandyBroad f ... .. _ oat. of RR 1 $rucefield,received a trophy donated by Pineridge Chalet of .Hensall to the 4-14 member with the highest score in snowmobile clubs, which was presented by Jack - Riddell, MPP Huron -Middlesex.
