High School Basketball Team
Edged By Tillsonburg In Finals
Exeter High school's third
try for a WOSSA boys basket
ball title failed Saturday when
a Tillsonburg' five nosed them
out by two points, It was , a
heartbreaker for the local squad
after reaching the* play-offs
three years in a row. ,
Last year they lost the (Champ
ionship by pnly two points in a
close-checking game .with A?n-
herstburg. Saturday’s game was
reminiscent of last year’s
except that Exeter had elimin
ated Ainherstburg in the semi
finals and they were playing a
different team.
Piling up a good lead'Of 15-7
at half time in a lpw-sqoring
game, the boys in ped and black
suffered a bad third quarter
which cost them the game.
The two black-capped boys,
Johnny Reiher and Jvan Hunter-
Duvar and captain Bill O’Brien
shared 19 points among them.
May captured the other three.
R. 'Peacock was .the big bird
for Tillsonburg,
fourteen points.

Yesterday we were living
under the prediction that we
were to experience the worst
Storm of the season, but today
is a beautiful balmy day, with
the roads almost as dry as sum

and muddy of late. . ,
Mrs. Chalmers, who -lias been
quite sick, is now on the mend
and will soon be out and around
again, A great many are laid up
with bad colds which seem
loathe to leave. The attendance
at church was small on account
of so many having bad colds.
Mr, Gardiner is nicely settled

Hot Shots ..........
Butchers .................
Big Six „..............
Cellar Rats ...........
Pinppppers .....
Whizz Bangs .......
Monday night’s
Sweitzer Lanes finally unseated
the Butchers from the league
leadership, and generally tight
ened up the standings.
On the first two alleys, the
Hot Shots and the luckless
Whizz Bangs clashed. As expect
ed, the Shots ran roughshod
over Bud Preszcator’s team and
swept all seven points. By doing
so, the Hot Shots climbed into
first place over the Butchers.
Doug Brintnell tossed 694 (272)
to lead the Whizz Bangs, with
Harold Wolfe taking number 2
spot with 683 (282), Best trun-
dler for the Bangs was Jack
Whilsmith with 585 (224). How
ever, Norm Walper had the high
single of 231.
Over on- alleys 3 and 4, the
Pinpoppers took on the highly-
rated Butchers. The latter’s rat
ing wasn’t any too high Monday
night though, as the 'Poppers
took four points. The Butchers
won the total score by two
points. Bob Nicol had one of his
good nights and banged off 694
(293). Harold Bleay took top
honours for the Butchers by
rolling 674 (246). Ken Jiockey
had three good games totalling
672 (262).
The Big Six and Cellar Rats
met on alleys 5 and 6, and the
Big Six, minus two men, came
out of the tussle with nary a
point. According to the team, it
was the worst they had ever
bowled. Ken Cudmore with 598
(233) was head man for the
Rats, with Captain Traquair next
with 504 (208). Stan Frayne
led his men with 547 (285).

Rough Play
Spoiling Hockey
(Mildmay Gazette)
No hockey fan wants to see
the great game develop into a
pink tea affair where the play
ers apologize every time they
brush elbows—but a good many
of the hockey faps are disgusted
with the blood and thunder type
of game which is often permit
ted today. ,
We drove all the way to Exe
ter last Thursday night to see
the Mildmay-Lucan match and
arrived ‘ home wishing we ‘
gone to bed instead, During the
sixty minutes of play ,the refer
ees handed out five penalties—
a n d there should have been
thirty-five. T h e Lucan boys
pretty well took the lead in the
fouling and the Mildmay boys
had to resort to the same tactics
to stay on the ice with them
and they never .did manage to
hand out their full share of the
rough stuff. At one point two
players got into a fairly healthy
fight but no one was sent to
the cooler.
The prime .argument against
this kind of game is its effect
on the -box office, Instead of
seeing a fast, hard-fought game
in Exeter the spectators' witness
ed a draggy contest of brute
strength where the toughest
man won in every encounter. It
had
was mighty poor hockey.
This paper is not the only
publication to draw attention to
the deterioration in the game,
for we have seen reference to it in at least a dozen places this
winter. Apparently the W.o.a.a,
referees are not the only offend
ers, for there .has been just as
much "criticism of O.H.A, games.
And be

We agree that good clean
body checking is fine but some
of these rough-house tactics that
teams seem to get away with
now should be thrown out if the
boys hope to keep packing them
through the turnstiles. Our own

the kind where a guy follows the
puckcliaser into the corner and
then practically throws him into

Both Sugar Factories
Likely To Operate
It is likely that both the
C It a t h a m and Wallaceburg
sugar factories will operate this
year, it was predicted by W. 3.
McGregor, president of the Can
ada And Dominion Sugar Co.
One or other of the factories has
not operated for the last seven
years, because of wartime con
ditions.
At the week-end, farmers had
contracted to plant nearly 28,000
acres of sugar beets and Mr.
McGregor Was confident that
several thousand more would be
signed before the actual seeding
begins.
Average acre per farm Is
greater than last year. More
than 3,000 growers have signed
contracts, of which 1,100 are
new.
A meeting of the company’s
fieldmen Was held this week.
