SHAPING UP WELL
There's a great deal of interest in
1 basketball at the High School this
I year and plenty of prospective play-
! ers for both the junior and senior ;
I teams. Coach Jerry Higenell feels !
that lie has some very good material I
but it is a little early to predict what
sort of team will take the floor.
There are five holdovers from last
year's senior team including John
Hanna, John Lancaster, Jack Hob-
den, Ron Murray and Des Brophy, Mildmay
Another group of players who played
Junior last year, are trying for Sen-
1
I for berths and these are: Mac Cam-
2
I eron, Neil Stainton, Ken Saxton, Ron
Machan, Don Machan and George,
Hall.
j The boys have been practising on
and off for several weeks now, but
will get clown to serious training next
week after the examinations are over.
The Junior squad, while lacking
height and experience have a good
deal of material to draw from, includ-
ing Ken Gregg, only player who was
I on last year's team; Keith Lancaster,
I Pete Campbell, Bruce Lott, ,Bill Laid-
law, Gordon Wayne, Doug Murray,
Bob Gathers, Ross Hayden and Bill
Foster.

HAVE YOU HEARD THIS STORY?
Jim Thorpe is again hitting the sports pages only in a much different
manner than back in his days of glory, Recently undergoing an operation
for a lip cancer, his wife announced to the world that they were completely
broke financially. Now, the once great athlete, has requested that the
Olympic committee return to him his medals and trophies which were taken
from him because of charges of professionalism, which were very doubtful
at the best. Quite a come-down for such a great athlete.
There are some who still remember Jim Thorpe as the mighty Indian,
the greatest all-round athlete who ever lived, The story of the 1912
Olympics and the medals he had to give up because someone discovered he
had played pro baseball before winning the Pentathlon and Decathlon events
is well-known. The following story demonstrates his track ability even be.
fore the Olympic games.
The large, powerful Lafayette College team had invited, sight unseen,
the famous Carlisle Indians to compete in a dual track meet which was to be
the feature of an alumni day celebration at Easton. The coach of the
college team was clown at+ the station to meet the arriving team and he
expected a whole tribe of wild Indians to come swarming off the train,
All he knew were a couple of men who followed a broad-shouldered man
with a hat pulled over his eyes and a wisp of straw between his teeth, This
was Pop Warner, the Carlisle coach.
Angrily the Lafayette coach rushed up to Warner and shouted, "Where
are your Indians?"
'They'll be along," answered Warner,
Following Warner to his hotel, the anxious coach once again repeated
his demand, "Where are your Indians?"
"Son, Pop Warner replied," "my five men will be along in a little while,"
"Listen," screamed the coach, "did you say five? I had to go all over
Easton raising subscriptions to meet your demands for a guarante! We've
advertised far and wide! I had forty-six athletes primed for a fourteen event
program and you bring along five Indians! What kind of a joke is this?"
Pop pulled out a wad of bills big enough to choke a horse ."Want to make
a bet?" he asked .The coach left in high anger.
Later, however ,this same coach sat shuddering as five Indians neatly
slaughtered his 46 athletes, They captured event after event and Jim Thorpe,
peeved because he had only placed second in the 100 yard dash, went on to
win the pole vault, the high jump, the shot-put and the broad jump, The
final score was a trifle lop-sided 71 for the five Indians and 31 for the 46
Lafayette athletes.
It's safe to say that from this little Carlisle College came the greatest cf
them all, Jim Thorpe! •
TOWN BASKETBALL SQUAD —
Wingham once again has a town basketball team and this year it is
shaping up into a, pretty alert squad. Coach Bill Conron has at least ten
players lined up for the season and a good number turning out to prac-
tices. More players wo,p1 be welcome, according to Bill, Practices have
been held on Thursday nights to date.
There is no one backing the team and anyone who would like to donate
the cost of some sweat shirts would be most welcome.
Outstanding to date for the locals are Johnny Crewson, Bob Ferguson,
Jack Lloyd, Jerry Higenell, Art Martin and Scotty Jackson. Substitutes are
Brian Metcalfe, Ron Kennedy, Al Williams, Al Forberg. Basketball is com-
ing back in Wingham with a bang, so let's give the boys some support, The
first game is scheduled here with Listowel, but on going to press it has not
been decided whether it will be Wednesday or Thursday night.
WE TOLD IA SO—
As we gather in the returns from our bets on Ottawa Roughriders, we
feel that we owe a vote of thanks to those staunch Western supporters who
so kindly backed their Regina favorites. To the lady who paid off with a
jar of dill pickles, we would like to say thank you especially and hope that
it doesn't mean that you are sour on yours truly. Incidentally they are very
good pickles.
