Farmi Forum Meets
At Westfield
The Farm Forum met on Monday
evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Jack Buchanan with 25 present.
The topic for discussion was “From
Under the Earth” and the groups de
cided they did not know whether or
not our mineral resources, including
oil, are being used in the best interests
of all Canadians. They felt, however,,
that under the present system, ali
do benefit directly or indirectly. If
the resources were government owned
and operated as efficiently as the On
tario Hydro Electric Power Commis
sion, it would be a good plan, mem
bers felt, but if it worked as does
the railroads with its enormous deficit,
it would be better left alone.
Sport Shots
YOU GOTTA BE CONVERTIBLE !
If you,go down the list of scoring greats in any hockey league, you’ll
find that right-wingers are listed near the top. This fact is highlighted by
two great right-wingers of the present day, GORDIE HOWE and MAURICE
RICHARD. And the Wingham Lions Midgets, who are battling for top
OMHA honors, have gone along With a free-wheeling right-winger by the
name of KENNY HODGKINSON,>a 15-year-old speed merchant, who shows
great hockey promise.
But as has happened before, the opposition doesn’t have to be beaten
over the head to find out that he must be the man to stop, and therefore
new strategy must be brought into play. It’s much easier to do it with kids
teams than it is with pros. But, coach VIC LOUGHLEAN had the answer
ip the WOAA final with Seaforth, and again last Saturday night when the
Lions deiced Cannington 7 tq 2. The scoring summary will give you an
idea when DOUG MURRAY is listed with four goals. Now, the obvious
answer is this: Jim Campbell, the play-making centre of Wingham’s number
one line, was told to cross up the opposition by feeding the left side of his
line rather than the right, and so Doug came flying in with four tallies.
It’s a very simple strategy, but it has always been effective. By the
time the opposing club has gotten over the- initial surprise of having goals
potted against them from the open
side, they’re definitely in a quandry,
and it’s pretty difficult to throw up
a makeshift defense* against two po-
ten flanks. I don’t know whether
coach Loughlean did it with that
plan in mind, but it would seem to
indicate good strategy on the
part.
Vic had his bearcats really
the game, and they’ll be hard
for the silverware.
