Address Phone "Observer" Here it is creeping on into May, and the hockey season int over yet. This season has been only a fair one for intermediate Hockey as ,far as Goderich has been con. cerned. But what of next season? Are the powers -that -be in local hockey-,, dom going to decide now what the hockey program for next whiter will be or are they going to do like they did last season and wait until October to start scurrying around the countryside trying to gather up a few players for a team? Rumor has it that .a .number of people in Goderich would like to see .a good -junior hockey- -aggrega- tion formed. But that's where the rumor seems to end. No one seems to be doing any planning for next winter. Maybe there's some merit in having a junior team here. Seaforth seems to be doing fairly well. Wingham didn't fare too badly this year. And both these centres are smaller than Goderich. But for the sake of better games next winter, here's hoping' some- body in charge of the hockey set -tip gets on the ball pretty soon. The time to start building .a team: Is now, not when the snow starts, to fly next winter. Goderich . Sem,,is• Poutiaes captur- ors Hoffarth was waved" off iii the ed the first gaiine of the.

This is the question posed last week in the Meaford Express. The Meaford paper is kicking' again., about the intermediate hockey set- up this year., The WOAA grand championship series, it claims, ' is as "phoney as an $11 bill." The main beef is about the fact that the grand championship series was ar- ranged by the WOAA to be played - between Goderich • and Hanover. M f d h ea or Knig ts, of -course, won the Intermediate "B" group' honors, the "B" round robin and one of the "A" round robins without los ing a game, but won't be in the runningfor the grand champion- ship of "the organization they dom- inated all winter," the paper says. "In the - screwy WOAA" season Charlie Macdonald and his Knights managed to win 34 games and tie two ... as well as provide the WOAA treasury with more -money than any other club, without. -;win= ning anything.'•' But the part that - had us confused was the paper's claim that the Knights had "elimin-• ated" Goderich. Here's what_ _the, story says: "It is true Tory Gregg tried to add to his -association's treasury by, ordering . Medford ;- to, play Hanover, a team it had Whip- ped four times, for the "B" champ- ionship, and then oppose Goderich, another club it hadre p viously eliminated, for the grand champ- ionship." Yes, Meaford defeated Goderich 7-6 and 8-7 in the two" round robin -gimes', but then Mea - ford dropped out to go into OHA Intermediate "B" playdowns. Nevertheless, we can certainly see Meaford's reason for claiming that the WOAA title race is "phoney" and that it's been a "screwy WOAA season." ,Recently we read • an article in a national magazine in which the writer attempted'to find a reason why hockey seemed to be on the down_ grade. It was claimed 'that youngsters just didn't get ,any- where in the hockey world unless they were on an NHL "string" by the time they reached•midget or juvenile ranks.,And the theory was advanced thathere's too much concentration on speed, ganging attacks and bumping. What the writer suggested was that it might be a good idea to get back to a good, old-fashioned game of "shin- ny," aril aud.get away from concentrat- ✓rig only on the six men on the • ice. - An item from the Chatham Daily News also came to our attention. Recently in that city the Chatham Minor Hockey Association execu- tive decided that all juvenile and midget hockey 'players who wish •to play hockey in the association next year must pay for the privilege: We quote from • the account in the paper: "It was felt that Chatha.iu.• boys are handed too much and that -they do too little toward earning their playing time and privileges. - . Only in Chatham' are `the boys 'so" lucky." In centres •such as Sarnia, the story points out, all- boys playing minor hockey pay 19 cents a da and supply“heir their own sticks an tape as well \as shin pads, should - pads and tape. In Chatham,- the plan is to assess juveniles $2 at the start of the season and.the midgets $L It Was felt that the .bantanls and pee wees, since they were not of ,,age to get out and work for the money, should be let go without being assessed and . given a book of five season deices to sell instead., We Wonder whether Goderic�,h youngsters rea4'lite bow meth is "handed" to them by the Lio S Club in the minor hockey progra And are they appreciative? Then the visitgrs added another midway through the final frame with Schnarr blinking the light. It was five minutes after that goal that the Goderich team finally started to show the power that won them the Intermediate "A" WOAA title .and enabled them to' defeat Hanover in the Grand Champion- ship semifinals. Goderich took air early two -goal lead in the overtime stanza, but St. Clements roared back to tie up the score once again. Then Don Emms blasted in the final goal at the 7.57 mark to break up the tie. That's when the fun began. Hoffarth of the Threshers became involved in a bit ,-of fisticuffs with Emms and both were sent to the sin bin with major penalties. Less than half a minute before that incident Voll of St. Clements was sent to the penalty box and Beacom and Dietrich were banished for roughing. Referees called a total of 18 penalties, 12 of them to the visit- second ` period on a misconduct -count:_ __ . Emms was the big gun for the Pontiacs, collecting three goals, William$ gc$t two and Meriam .'and MacDonald got one each. T. Meyer led the Threshers with two. ST. CLEMENTS••:,-+Goal, A.

Doug Cruickshank and Jack Meriam 'led the locals with three goals apiece. Don Emms picked up two, and-' Reis, MacDonald, Miller and Westlake got singles. The Pontiacs had no trouble eliminating the Metros. They took a 6-0 lead and piled on five more in the second frame to lead 11-0 going into the final period. The locals played slow hockey in the final frame, allowing the Metros to pick up three tallies. Goderich got two in the final 20 minutes.

WO% CAMDIAN convert Every Kentucky Derby -like every other great horse race -has Jits episodes of glory, but every renewal of this great 'race has its,-.. bitter• disappointments, and its upsets, too. For instance, there was the 1940 Ken- tucky Derby, and - there never has been a satisfactory answer tothe question of just. what • happened to the great Bimelech in the Run For The Roses that year. Colonel E. R. Bradley has an amazing number of thorough- breds, including four whiners of previous Derbies, and also the mighty Black .servant, Baggenbaggage; Blue Larkspur, arid so inany others, and he had furnished the sire which produced the immortal Black Gold. Going up to the 1944 Derby, Colonel Bradley said: • ' • I think 'Bimelech •is the greatest horse I ever had." Bimelech won 6 races straight as a 2 -year-old. Making, his debut as a 3 -year-old, he won both races in which be had been entered, and ,came up to the Kentucky Derby of 1940 With the record of being unbeaten in 8 start"s, apparently at the peak of his form, and with the turf authorities insisting he ,had the Derby at his mercy. The punters made him a favorite at 40' cents to the ''dollar. The field he was pitted against : was regarded as ,one of the most mediocre of many years. It represented the best of the crop,' but the crop, at its best, was not presumed to be • in a class with Bimelech. "Bimelech should win by a quarter of a mile" the experts insisted. ''No other horse in the race can run the 'mile anid a quarter faster than 2.05." A Yet Gallahadion, who never knew greatness before, nor , showed 'any greatnessafterward, was too ' fast for Bimelech that afternoon G.allah�adion- won by a length and a half.
