After tonight's game,Goderich has three games left to play, , while Strathroy has only two. Actually, the Rockets will have decided their fate by Saturday night. They journey to Exeter to- morrow night to play the last - place Mohawks. Then on Satur- day night they play hosts to the Sailors for, their final game of the schedule. I After the game in Strathroy on Saturday night, the tars have twQ ,games left -next Monday in Forest and next Tues- day in Exeter. But after their showing on their •home Ice on Saturday night, the Rockets will have to do some hard playing to get on top of the league and stay there_ The Sailors have the double advantage of one addition- al win and one additional game, and they'll be hard to unseat from the top rung. It seems doubtful if Forest Lakesides, with just two games left in the schedule will be able • to overtake the Rockets .even though they do have .a pos- sible chance to get into second place. Meanwhile, with the last local game of the schedule slated. to be: played tonight and schedule not going to. he finished until a week from tomorrow night, "of- licials of- -the ,,Go.daricli intermedi- ates are attempting to arrange a game here between the tars and Durham -Huskies for either next Friday or next Saturday night. If such a game could be arranged. it would give the fans who missed the first „clash between the two teams here earlier in the season a chance to see song really good hockey. Those who seW the game Will remember that it was a battle right'doWn to the final bell. The Durham boys werebigger and plenty fast, but they lacked the scoring punch that the_Sailors had. The score was a close one 8-6 for the Sailbrs--indicative of the close play. Goderich led 7-6 with about a minute left in the game when the Durham goalie was ' with- drawn and the Huskies „iced six forwards. A shot by Billy Mac- Donald into the open net from just outside the. Durham blueline gave the Sailors their insurance tally. We'd certainly like to. see the Huskies in Action here again. We're sure they'd like:to- even up things with the Sailors -and the tars would be just 'as anxious to 'get a second win over the highly:. touted Durham squad. By this .time last yea*, the WOAA leegue in which the Gode- 1Tch intermediates had been enter- ed had ,finished the schedule. Last year, there were 18 games in the schedule and whenit had finished, Forest Lakesides were on top with 17 wins and only one loss. Gode- rich was a close second with 15 wins and three losses for 30 points, while Strathroy and Exeter trailed, the Rockets having 10 wins and eight losses for 20 points and the Mohawks having nine wins, eight 4•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• • • ,MOTOROLA .T • • rr, MODEL NO. 17T19 LY 65c A DAY tilts this 21.7 ,igrotorola ifl 7our :hOile after small down payment-0004%ra, with channel Aerial and ItOtetOr.

Last year's league, of course had teams of lower grouping in it; teams from Zurich, Lucan, Byron and Ilderten, along with two other 'SA." teams-frona- St. Marys and Hensall. An indication of how much Strathroy Rockets have im- proved is shown in the 'fact that last year they finished in fifth place, behind- the "C.' entries of Lucan and Zurich, while this year they are right in the thick of com- petition far h'rst place. Forest Lakesides, however, who lost only one game in the schedule last year, have slipped this season, as have the Goderich Sailors, who have six losses so far this year, compared with three at:the end of the eche dule-last season. Basketball. players at Goderich District Collegiate Institute had a real treat last Saturday night when they were taken by teachers David Holmes and Neil Shaw to the Uni- versity of Western Ontario in Lon- don . to see the Western -Wayne University basketball game, the big game of the year for the London university squad. Making the trip were 37 members of the senior, junior and 'peanut squads .from the school. Through the courtesy of Johnny Metras, coach of the West- ern squad, the bOys were provided with free tickets to witness the big game. Somebody Must have "goofed" when compiling the statistics for the Intermediate "A" standings currently appearing in area daily newspapers. Titis Was brought to our attention by a few fans who. follow the Sailors' activities pretty closely. "Those flg,ures are crazy,, they said. So, we checked. Sure enough,, the Sailors were. listed as having only 25 points, in a tie with, ,Stratarroy Rockets.. _Fans here know the tars are -riding at the top of the league with 27 points, Scoring statistics shavedthat the locals scored 97 goals and that Goderich Goalie Gerry Hesse has had 88 goals scored .against him. According to our Simple arithme- tic, by means of which we totalled up the scores of the Sailors' 20 games to date (excluding the one with IVIitchell), the tars have -scored 100 goals, while Hesse his allowed. only 79. Quite a difference. We don't know whether the figures for Strathroy in the daily standings are correct, but if they are, then Hesse is tied with Harvey"Jessimare Strathroy netminder, in the race to see who, will have the least number of goals scored against him. The daily figures show that Jessiman has allowed 83 goals in. 21 games, • That would give Jessi- man an average of 3.95 goals per game. Hesse's average would be 3.95, too. Perhaps it's just. about time for WOAA statisticians to. compile a proper listing of team staindings and make sure 'that publicity media receive copies. ' Officers Elected By Children's Aid Rev. R.

A GOOD ATTENDANCE IS REQUESTED. 6-7 THECalVert SPORTS COLUMN 4 Ettite; Peveedote When hockey's greatest scoring machine, Maurice "Rocket" Richard of the Montreal Canadiens whipped ,home his -400th. League goal, he set a record that may never be equalled. , A little chap named Gu Y Rousseau, who plays junior hockey for Quebec Frontenacs, came up to Canadiens on a three -game trial. A mere 19 -year- old kid who, playing his first game with Canadiens on, foreign ice.; Ina LI -the National Hockey League,, it was Rousseau who slipped Richard Tile t:viirkinafiliRe pass off which he scored the big goal with a lightning sweep of his stick in the third period of a game at Chicago on December 18 last. When the team left Montreal, Chicago -bound, Coach Dick Irvin,said to Riehard: "I want you to look after this little fellow Rousseau. I'm going to put him in to room with. you. He's fast and ambitious, -but he's shy, and it will help his complexes if ,he's with you." Richard put an arm around the little fellow's shoulder and 'said:, "You're with me, kid." RousSeau's eyes fairly popped out at this sudden intimacy with a hockey great. A broad grin of sheer joy split his features. He and Richard palled around together, an oddly -assorted pair of buddies, from that time 6n. Irvin started Rousseau on the Richard,Mosdel line and kept ../him there much of the game. And in the third period, he flipped a smooth pass to Richard, who was skating behind him, and like a flash, Richard blasted the puck deep into the Chicago nets. After the goal was scored, Canaclien players hoisted Richard high on their shoulders. They planned to carry him on a complete circuit of the rihk. But Richard didn't want that at all, and the players let him down. "If I had scored that goal in Detroit or Toronto or Montreal, I wouldn't mind the boys carrying me around," said Richard later. "But it didn't mean much, scoring it against the tail -end team, and. I didn't like the parade idea at all. It seemed like rubbing it in." This, We thought, was nice sporting sentiment. But Richard, noted as a fierce and fiery competitor, has ,made similar gestures before and since, Not long ago, Richard and other Canadiens went to Ste. Anne's Hospital near Montreal to - play in a softball game for wounded war veterans. :They visited the wards afterwards. Many of the patients asked for Rocket's autograph. One who had his legs in a, cast was particularly insistent He had been badly wounded' and his broken leg hadn't healed,. . - Richard obliged, then asked for his. "I should be king you who have gone so much more than r said Richard, quietly. The sportlfig -cikle of the 400 -goals feat was completed when, after the Canadien club presented Richard with $2;000, he promptly turned the tomplete amount over to two Montreal ' hospitals, l'Your comments arid 'suggestions for this CONIMIll will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, % Calvert House, 431 Yonge St., Terante.- A , JAC-00N HOME $, Lil „ , seAvoRta aktetkow vet t DISTILLERS LIMITED AMHERSIBURG, %OMANI° Wm, '14 ,}44.4,4•Att, •‘• Seeeliietiesserreseso,Sese„-es• „ „ • . , „ If A.A.A64:40A.A. , 41 A Ar .4
