None of Seaforth High's three cage teams are meeting with any flashing suc- cess. In Goderich last Friday, out of three matches, iSeaforth was only able to come up with one even. Close competition in both senior and junior boys' games resulted in God- erich wins. Both games were close all the way, but it was Goderich that held the extra cards when the final scores were given. In the girls' game it was a Sea - forth victory from start to finish. It was the early drive of the Sea - forth team that toppled Goderich, who at times tried to throw 'off the Seaforth pressure, but was unable to do so. The skating party held last Thursday night went over with a big success. Everyone enjoyed them- selves after the skating when they went to the school for a short dance before lunch.

Winthrop was the team that really capitalized on their 9-6 win, since it was their first vic- tory this season. With Merchants weakening and Winthrop gaining it looks as if the play-offs should be a close race between these two clubs. In the second .game, the league - leading St. •Columban Irish outscored Egmondville 8-3. The game was fast and rugged all the way and it was the snappy pace of the St. Co- lumban Club that overpowered Eg- mondville. By this win St. Colum - ban took the league leader's title for 1952-53. For sometime Merchants threatened but in the last half of the schedule St. Columban picked up.
