It was a very inter- esting and well -played game. The teams 'seemed more closely match- ed than previously, mainly due to. -thee addition' of two brick walla • on the line, meauingly Pat Murray an,d Jim Hopper. the weight of these. two Made up almost one-quarter, of a, ton, which is quite an addition to .any line. The whole team clicked in al- most every play and at one time Went,' from: our own eight .yard down for a touchdown in four com- plete passes. The touchdown was made _by,'Keith Blanchard, who was' tackled on the line, but managed( to roll over for a touchdown. .After the game was over Keith was carried • across the. field, but no (me dared, or couldn't, carry Pat across• the field! There was something about this game that the quarter -back and snap probably didn't like, and that was that there wasn't any ride home on the bus. The line-up for the game was: :Snap, Ron Rennie; insides, J. Hop- per, T. Ducharme; middles, P. Mur - just Arrived CAR OF ALBERTA LUMP COAL Seaforth Supply & Fuels Ltd. PHONE 47 gh. school ray, J.

Seaforth took the lead early in the list quarter when .they got a rouge. In, the second quarter, St. Marys pulled a rouge to make it 2 to 1. This score remained until the last quarter, when Blanchard got a touchdown to make the scope 6 to 2. Last Monday there was another rugby game at Seaforth. This was a six-mau game with Forest. It didn't turn out as well as the. game with St. Marys. After talking to some of the Seaforth 'players, . I found out that they thought For -est was the roughest and dirtiest team they have played yet. Oh, well, that will just toughen up our team for further games. Similarly in this game, we had Little Boy Blue playing. Sometimes Pat was on the line and other times in the backfield. He was in on many plunges, but then even a train can easily be derailed. M. Mills and K. Blanchard both made a touchdown and R. Sills kicked each convert for a point each. There was a total of 12 points for Seaforth, but Forest stacked up 25 points. The line-up for this game was: Snap, M. Beohely; ends, J. McKind- sey, M. Mills; quarter, G. McKind- sey; halves, R. Sills, I. Johnston; alternates, P. Murray, Ti 'Duch - arms, M. Hackwell and K.

Also_ in the line of rugby there was a junior game Wednesday be- tween two First Form teams un- der the names of George Sills' team and- Jim•. Flannigan's team. It was a fairly rough game without many plays, but it served a little interest for some students. It seems that Sandy McMillan was the only injury. He is supposed to have been knocked out, but he played the rest of the game, so he must have wanted a little publicity. Sandy scored a touchdown, while Eisler kicked a point. • On Wednesday we had our plow- ing match. The weather held up until it was o'er. There were only three schools entered in it, but the competition was very close. There were two boys in each team: Clin- ton only entered a junior team, while the other two schools enter- ed both junior and senior teams. The entries from the schools in senior were: Garfield Hughes and James Murray, Palmerston, and Arthur Bolton and John McGavin, Seaforth. In the junior team there -were Elgin Schade and Douglas Kcyes, Seaforth; Bill McClennan and Jim Connell, Palmerston, and Murray Tyndall and Donald War- ner, Clinton. In the senor class, Seaforth came first, ploughing the best furrow, and Palmerston sec- ond. In the junior class, Clinton came first, Seaforth second, and Palmerston 'third. The tractors were supplied by some students and also different businessmen of Seaforth. As most of you who attend the local theatre, know that there are only two prices—adult and chil- dren. Last year the schools in the towns of which Mrs. Sutherland owned the theatres, sent a letter to her. None of the letters were even . answered. Perhaps if Mrs. Sutherland could. do something New and Old Time DANCE in Looby's Hall Dublin FrL,Nov.11 Sponsored by St. Columban Football Club The W.M.S. of Constance Church held their thankoffering meeting in. the church on Wednesday, Oct. 26, with the Londesboro society as guests. Mrs. Peter Lindsay open- ed the meeting with the singing of the Doxology. Mrs. E. Adams then offered. prayer. An address of wel- •come was given by Miss Jane Millson. and Hymn 27 was sung. A duet was rendere dby Mrs. Jos. Shaddick and Mrs. T. Allan, `ac- companied by Mrs. Brenton. Mrs. C. Dexter gave a reading "Tomor-' row," followed by a trio by Mrs. Ethel Stevenson, Mrs. C. Mont- gomery and Mrs. Leo Stephenson, accompanied by Mrs. Frank Riley. The address was given by Mrs. W. J. Thompson, Seaforth, who took as her theme, "Roads," found in Proverbs 4. The four roads are: "Road of the changed life," road of walking and talking with Jes- us," "Road of service" and "Road of sacrifice." The measure .of our sacrifice is a measure of our suc- cess. Hymn 113 was sung and Mrs. R. Townsend brought greetings from Londesboro. Mrs. Brenton closed the meeting with prayer. A social time followed and lunch was served.

If the people of this town would help the stud- ents it would do some good. Why should students have to- pay as much as an adult to see a movie? In other towns where there are different owners they have stud- ents' prices. Why not help the students to get a student price for the show? Last Friday night was our an- nual Hallowe'en and Sadie Hawk- ins' dance. It was a very colorful. dance with "Shnioos" Chinesemen, kings, queens, tramps, pirates and many other wierd and humorous costumes. The prizes for costumes went to a Shmoo (Mary Lou Sills) and two Cbinesewomen (Miss Smith and Mrs. Stevens). The judg- es of the costumes. were Mrs. Dob- son, Mrs. Plumsteel, Mrs. Morris - son and Mrs. Slattery. There were many special dances and actually there was a normal dance where the boy asks the girl, instead of girl asking boy. The dance ended with lunch, brought mainly by the girls.

Exeter Legion and. Goderich Legion reached the play- offs. The best -of -three series was played to determine the cham- pions. The final game was played last week, with the Exeter team winning the game, 18-9, It is hop- ed that the Legion will have a much better season next year, now that they are organized. Whisper- ings Wishes to congratulate the Ex- eter team ,on winning the group championship this year. Wihile on the subject of softball, we would like to bring to your attention the fact that members of the rules committee of -the On- tario Amateur Softball Association met last Sunday and drafted a set of recommendations to be for- warded to the executive commit- tee of the 0 A.S.A. One of the sug- gestions forwarded to the execu- tive is that the quick return `pitch not be allowed in future, and time out is called if such a pitch is made. A change in the no -lead rule has been suggested to clarify the ruling to prevent a runner jug- gling or hesitating. Another ruling that was clarified is that if a base - runner on base is bit with a ball, he is out. regardless of the infield fly rule. Next Wednesday the annual meeting of the Western Ontario Athletic Association will be held in Ih'ingham. Election of officers will take place; also in the after- noon the ,•Qntario Minor Hockey Association will hold a forum spon- sored by the W.O.A.A. and all hockey managers, coaches and re- ferees are invited to attend this in Wingham. With all six teams playing last Light, there were a few changes in the standings of the National League. Detroit ties Toronto for top place, and Chicago leaves the cellar when they defeated Boston.

The first such final, it is suggested, will be held in Toronto during the Cana- dian National Exhibition. Did you know that there's ice in the Walkerton arena? We under- stand hockey enthusiasm is very high in that part of the country. We also find that rental of the Walkerton arena for practise ses- sions runs at $7 an hour, or $1 less per session when five dr more practise periods are booked. Did you know that Walkerton management have in mind the ;;.onsoring of a pre -season league for junior and intermediate clubs? Each competing team would be given two free practises for each game ,played. We merely mention this as we feel it might be of in- terest to local hockey interests as information and ideas for the. -fu- ture of the New Community Cen- tre. It could be titled, "Take a Tip." Speaking of sponsors, we under- stand the junior hockey club is all set for this season. Yes, I said Junior . . . and it will be just that! It is felt that this is the time to start out with a good jun- ior team and work up from there to intermediate, and then perhaps a senior club. But Junior "C" it will be for this season! There hasn't been much news in regards to a team so far, but some have been drawn to our attention and we are passing it on to you. From what we have heard the prospects are good and as soon as workouts begin It is expected that ALL PLAYERS interested will be on band to try for the local team. Whisperings wants to make this clear: That it is the desire of those responsible for the shaping of this year's team that EVERY BOY of junior age is expressly de- sired to come out and try for a place on the team, and that every opportilnity will be given to those boys, and it will he from this GREATLY REUGN*D Two tone all -wool .

So when the time comes for practise, let ALL players be on hand to back up those who are working so hard to bring out a good team for all sport fans of Seaforth and district. Don't let them down and you will be sure they won't let you down. What we would like to see: The Town Council and other organiza- tions continue this winter the out- door rinks for the young children who desire to learn to skate and play hockey. The Legion sponsor the Juveniles again this year. The continuance of the Duncan Cup hockey which proved so popular last year after a lapse of several years. Perhaps an Industrial League and the renewal of the Rural Hockey League that was so popular a few years back. In those days it well could be said: "Sat- urday Night is Hockey Night in Seaforth." Do you remember those nights? I1. could happen: A confused father rushes into the ad depart- ment and upsets the staff. Why? He's a poppa, and being new to the role he was very excited "I— I want to put an announcement in about the birth of my tC-child;" he stammered. At this point he re- alized he didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl. Out he went again, leaving the staff in sus- pense. Minutes later he dashed in through the door, his face glow- ing, to blurt out: "Twins!" Ali, the pains of paternity . . . And so we come to the end of the column for this week, but be- fore we go, and just a reminder: Be generous to the canvassers dur- ing the campaign for funds for the Community Centre.
