HOLDS ANNUAL
The Wingham Softball Association
held their final business meeting for
this year on Wednesday evening,
November 7th., at the home of Mor-
ris Swanson, The president, Mr. Alex
Coutts opened the meeting by calling
upon Mr, Lloyd Hingston, to read
the financial statement. Mr. Coutts
then pointed out that a full report
would be printed in the Advance-
Times at a later date, but first the
books would have to be audited.
It was decided that we should elect
the officers for the coming year so
that this part of the business would
be settled well in advance of the next
ball season, A motion was made by
Bill Bain that the same officers re-
main in their respective positions for
another year. This motion was sec-
onded by Al. Orvis and was carried.
The following therefore is a listing

IN THE SPORTLIGHT
By AL FORBERG
Sports Editor
GOOD NEWS—
The WINGHAM ARENA COMMISSION has decided to begin the in-
stallation of iee immediately in order to have skating by this SATURDAY,
NOVEMBER 17th. Season tickets will be available at very reasonable rates.
The members of the Arena Commission deserve a round of applause for this
very popular decision and we're sure the younger fry will second our motion.
CURLING SEASON OPENS--
The first bonspiel of the local curling season gets under way today at
the Wingham ice emporium. Three rinks will also head for GALT this
week.
SCHOOLBOY CURLING—
A press release; received in this office through the courtesy of Harley
Crawford, gives the dope on schoolboy curling, now adopted as part of the
official • program of the Ontario Curling Association. The very popular
SCHOOLBOY BONSPIEL at GALT and GUELPH is replaced this year by
eight sectional bonspiels to he held during the Christmas holiday week at
Kingston, Oshawa, Chatham, Lindsay, Midland. Wingham, Hamilton and
Guelph. Umpire at Wingham will be HARLEY CRAWFORD. The eight
winners of these sectional spiels will meet at Kingston on Saturday, January
19th, for the O.C.A. Schoolboy Championship and the right to represent
Southern Ontario in the Dominion Schoolboy Championships at Moncton,
N.B., late in February.
Wingham has been included in Division No. G. Others in this division
are Allenford, Burgoyne, Flesherton, Fordwich, Kincardine, Listowel, Mark-
dale, Mount Forest, Owen Sound, Paisley, Port Elgin, Southampton, Tara,
Tiverton and Walkerton.
One hundred and twenty Secondary Schools have been invited to parti-
cipate in this tremendous addition to the sport of curling in Ontario, which
now matches in every particular the Consols and Brier competitions which
determine the Provincial and Dominion championships.
The Kingston finals in January will provide trophies and individual
prizes for all eight of the competine. rinks. Winners of the three-game
final will be awarded the EMPIRE LIFE TROPHY and individual awards,
plus an all-expense trip to the Dominion Championships in Moncton for
themselves and a teacher from the school. Second event winners will re-
ceive the ESSO TROPHY provided by Imperial Oil, while the third and
fourth winners will take home trophies and prizes provided by the GORE
DISTRICT MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE CO., and J. L. CRAWFORD, of
London.
REFEREES' SCHOOL—
A very successful hockey referee's school, under the auspices of the
WOAA was held in the council chambers at the town hall last Wednesday
afternoon, and despite the bad roads at least 30 were in attendance before
school was out. NHL Referee FRANK UDIVARI did an A-1 job of answer-
ing a list of 85 'touchy' questions, dealing with the rules of the game. As
OHA President Roxborough said, "It is a revelation to find that Frank is
tops on the platform as well as on the ice." We agree 100 per centt. TORY
GREGG was chairman of the meeting and all who attended went away bet-
ter educated in the finer points.
REBOUNDS OFF THE BACKBOARD—
The town basketball team turned out for their second practice last
Thursday night and came up with a curious mixture of experience and other-
wise which just might turn the trick. Everyone is keen despite their re-
lative abilities. Coach Conron drilled his charges in some fundamentals of
shooting and passing after a 'scrimmage' with the high school squad. (Hang
onto that rule book, Bill. We'd be lost without it.) The H.S. boys played
the full time without substitution, while the 'old men' pa"nted on and off the
floor. Condition is all that is needed, fellows (hack, hack). Johnny Crewson
proved to be just as dangerous on the gym floor as on the ice. There'll be
plenty of casualties in any game that Johnny plays. Bob 'One Lung' Fer-
guson showed the youngsters that he hadn't lost his 'eye' around the basket
and was really popping them in. Jack Lloyd and Jerry Higenell rounded
out the experience on the team. There is some good raw material on the
squad and also some very raw material. Not mentioning names.
