Kincardine Fans Start Rnmpns
As Wingham Drnbs Juves 7-1
Quite a rumpus was caused in Kin
cardine on Saturday night, when
Wingham Juveniles defeated the Kin
cardine team 7-1 in an unfinished
game which was called, with ten
minutes still remaining in the last
period, because of fan violence. Ref
erees Don Potts and Jim Scarborough
called the game at the halfway mark
in the third period after Potts was
hit in the face with a grapefruit and
Scarborough was hit by a snowball.
“The ice was continuously being
showered with paper, apples, etc., and
even a cat was thrown on the ice,”
the referees said.
The game was the first in the best-
of-three series for the WOAA Juv
enile "C” championships. Kincardine
fans were apparently incensed by the
refereeing, although Wingham receiv
ed eight of the fourteen penalties.
Wingham opened the scoring in the
first period when Campbell and
Houghton connected to put the locals
two up in the first frame. They rang
up two more goals in the second and
three more in the third, before the
MOHAWKS BEATEN BY
ARTHUR INTERMEDIATES
Wingham Mohawks took a 14-4
beating at the hands of the Arthur
Intermediates on Thursday night at
the Wingham arena, and despite hard
skating on the part of the locals
there seemed to be very little they
could do about it.
First blood went to Wingham in
the first couple of minutes of play,
when Maurice Stainton notched one
on assists from Neil and Murray.
From that time onward, however, it
was Arthur’s game, as the visitors
scored repeatedly despite valiant
Wingham efforts. They counted six
in the first frame, three in the second
and five in the third.
.. Scoring for Arthur were Marshall
and Riley, with four each, Bell with
three and Elliott, Schmidt and Barry
with singles. Wingham marksmen
were Maurice Stainton with three and
Bob Ritter.

ON PARADE
The 99th Bty and the RHQ of the
21st Fd Regt RCA held their regular
training night on Monday, Feb. 28,
and was in fair attendance consider
ing that a hockey game was being
played in town, and pome of -th'e
battery members were on the team.
But they won, so they are forgiven
for missing parade.

The gun crews were. kept busy
cleaning the 25 pdr gun that jqst
came back from London after being
repaired. Sgt “Buck Sinnamon went
to London to pick it up and on the
way back must have gone through
every mud puddle on the road as the
gunners were complaining how dirty
it was. But Buck soon fixed that.
He put them to work cleaning it, and
to say the least it looked one per cent
better. Surprising what a little elbow
grease will do.

The signal section was hidden for
the night but they must have been
working as Bdr “Mighty” Stapleton
vouched for that. By the way,
“Mighty” took offence for saying in
the column he was as thin as a broom.
Sbrry, “Mighty”, what I should have
said is that if you drank a bottle of
red wine and turned sideways you
would look like a theremometer. Did
n’t I say it right yet? But “Mighty”
is doing a good job in the signal
section and it will tell when this unit
goes to Meaford on the 30th of April.

The trumpet band was practicing
or at least it sounded like it. There
was plenty of noise around here. The
band can hardily wait till the good
weather comes so they can go outside
and blow their little brains out and
beat their little drums like a bunch
of kids on Christmas morning. But
seriously, the band is coming along
nicely and will be a sharp looking
outfit by spring.

The MT section was in their little
shack across the way meaning the
old fire hall. Now that we have a new
stove over there it is as snug as a
bug in a rug. They have the old
truck cut down and chopped off and
made into a small gun tractor. The
MT section is better off than it has
ever been. Now the problem is to
make the gunners stay on the guns
and not tranfer to the MT section.
