Junior intereaufty team match at the
International Plowing Matoh in. Wet-
erloo county
Chosen as ,the ether man on the
county team,. on the strength of his
work in the North Huron match on
Friday, is John IMeGavin, Walton,
son of a former international plowing
ehampion, Gordon •Meffavin, John
McGavin, friday,. won the senior
class in the North Huron match, al-
though, if he had chosen, he could
have had easier competition in an
age -limit class, Flowing against vet-
erans, he Won the special prize for
the best -plowed laxed in any class in
the match.
The North Huron match on Friday
drew 85 contestants, showing notice-
ably stronger than at the ,South Mar -
on match near Dashwood, where 22
plowed. The North Huron match,was
on land in (Goderieh twp, owned by
Howard Montgomery, which was used
as an airport during the Second
World War. It was a level piece of
sod, with ample space for the 35
lands to be lard out, and there was
good moisture content in the earth
to help make firm furrows, The na-
ture of the land, however, left a good
deal to be desired for match plowing.
In the process of leveling it, during
the war years, for a landing strip, a
good deal of the top soil had been
stripped away, Much of the match
plowing on Friday had to be done in
soil whore the plowshares frequently
turned up boulders, or snagged old'
tree roots, The appearance of the
plowed land, when the 35 Contest-
ants bad ,finished their stints, was a
good deal rougher than is expected
from a plowing match.
Match officials pointed out good
side as well as a •bad side to the
problem of boulders and roots, and.
stiff plowing through subsoil patches.
"It's a real test," one plowman said.
"They can't just set their plows and
then go ahead without changing any-
thing, They have to keep thinking all
the time."
T. P. O'Malley of Teeswater, win-
ner in the wide -bottom class, was a
repeat winner, like Lorne Ballantyne.
Ile plowed in the South Huron match
on Thursday, and took first prize in
the class -for plows turning furrows
not loss than 12 inches. Friday he
plowed its the same class at the North
Huron match near 'Goderieh, and
tame first again.
'Seaforth defeated Goderieh in an
inter -school team plowing match, and
worn a special $25 cash prize offered
by an automobile association. Sea-
forth's winning team consisted of
Neil McGavin and Donald Dodds;
the Goderieh Collegiate Institute was
represented by John Buchanan and
Don Chisholm. In a junior high school
class, the only entrants were two
boys from Seaforth 'Collegiate Insti-
tute; they were scored individually,
in the absence of tease competition
for the juniors, with Andrew Pat-
rick, Walton, placing first in the
class, and John Tremeer, Klppen, se-
cond.
The match was judged by Frank
Bell, Stratford, who had also judged
the South 'Huron match the previous
day, Arrangements were in charge
of an executive headed by Harry
Sturdy, Auburn, with jack Eckert,
Seaforth, as vine -president.
