HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance-Times, 1968-02-29, Page 8Well, we're batting 1, 000 so far in our predictions'of the WOAA intermediate playoffs. For the two final series we chose Clinton over Milverton and Wingham over Shelburne. Despite Wingham's loss on Sunday we're still picking them to win the series. Shelburne dumped Wiarton 3 straight and Wingham edged King gardine.3-1 in. the north while Milverton clobbered Palmerston 3 straight, as did Clinton over Listowel. WE'VE HEARD THAT • 1 BILL LINDUP, coach of the Wingham squirts, is trying to arrange a home and home ex- hibition series against Kincar- dine. FRED LEE, timekeeper -for. the "180 Sports" was a little put. out when Kincardine questioned. his ability on the clock Friday night. We think perhaps it was a case of mistaken identity. 'Nuff said. McDONALD will lead his curling rink in the WOSSA finals. on March -20-21 at the Ivanhoe Club in London. ELWOOD IRWIN, perhaps through some mix-up of num- bers on the scoresheet, was chosen second star in the game in Shelburne on Sunday. "JL/MBC' FORSTER was missing from the line-up both Friday night and Sunday. The . boys managed to get along Fri- day night but sure could have used his offensive skills on Sun- day. Senior basketball Last. Tuesday the action was furious 'and the individual scoring was high as two more games were played in the reg- ular schedule. 'Erwin Lanaus' team took Carman lvlc B urney 's team by the score of 47-35. Doug Wheeler, who subbed in this garne,,,was high mart with 19 :points." For the losers Jim Hen- derson netted 16 points. In the second gatne of the evening for McBurney's team they nearly name through with their first win, being edged out " by Al Wilcox's team by a 54- 50 count. Wilcox led his team with 20 potnts„and Doug Wheel- er was close on his captain's heels with 17. On the other k„ . side of the ledge? Henderson led with 18 points and McBur- ney sunk 12. The standings are as follows: TEAM W L T Pts. 'Wilcox 3 • 1 7 "Lanaus 2 2 0 • 4 McBurney '. 3 1 1 Season's high scorers: Wheeler 58; Wilcox 51; Hender- son 46; lanaus -37; Mowbray 35. G. A.
