At press time the lineup for the Seaforth team was not available but the following' are the members 'of the .Seaforth team and their respective playing posi- tions which they have played in, during previous games; goal, Ches- sol, Stan Pigulski; clefSnce. Allan Ellson, Procter. Scott, Hennick, Ir- win ; centre, Bu-twelt, Mitchell, Broome; wings, Jennings, Bradley, Campli n, Flood, Reightington, This will be Seaforth's first ap- pearance in W.O.A.A. Junior hockey, We wish to tell you that if you wish to see a fast, clean game of hockey, then plan to be a fan at the Junior game on Friday. This Junior team has definite possibilities and should be a winning team right from the start, If you see this first game, we can assure you that you won't miss' ., r +' • on tlyr 1 through the schedule on tap and well into the O.H.A. finale, 1 This is our prediction and we think that anyone who has seen this 1 team in any of their exhibition tilts will agree with us in this foretelling, 1 A home game is scheduled for' Jan. 13th, but if the weather con- tinues the way it is this game will not be able to be played. Rain, snow, sunshine , . or any other type of weather, except 'a blizzard, will not stop this Friday's feature for the Walkerton arena is equipped with artificial ice. * 1 We thought this would be the , best time to say something about the past year, 1949. I During the year the found that Sport page ink had been splashed on 1a wide variety of subjects. For a time, for instance, the weight of Turk Broda seemed almost as im- portant as the poundage of Princess Jasmine—imagine! And the general health and spirits of the gentleman who climbed a flagpople in Cleve- land and wanted -to remain there until the Indians reached first place (they should have humoured him to the limit) came in for nearly as much comment as the condition of Harold Wilson's ailing pistons. In winding up 1949 it is only fair to observe that it was not a 'bad year. The Seaforth Bosharts carried on an extended series in the semi- finals against the Centralia soft-ball- ers while the Fawns did the sane with the Brussels ladies. .On the other hand, 1949 was not so perfect that we can't make 1950 better with the juniors heading into O.H.A. finals and this year's soft- ball teams heading for championships in O.S.A. Regarding 1949. we hope our readers will forget all those things we wrote that we shouldn't have, and all the things that we should have written that we didn't and that all sport fans will continue to help us in 1950 as they have in all the years that have gone before. We are grateful to our friends who read sportshorts, and doubly grateful to those who help us write it. * :Ir * s: JUNIOR `0' HOCKEY SCHEDULE Last week members of the execu- tive of the Milverton, Goderich and 'Walkerton Junior teams met to draw up the 1950 schedule.

It is nothing short of blasphemy to mark the birthday of Christ with an excess of drinking.
