HOCKEY PERSONALITIES 1
ROY BONNER
Coach
(The following is the first in a
series of articles on the management
and players of the Wingham Mohawk
Intermediate 'A' team.)
The coach of this year's Wines=
Intermediate 'A' team is Roy Bon-
ner, a man well equipped for the job,
Born in East York, just outside of
Toronto, Roy attended East York
Collegiate and is a graduate of the
0.A.C., class of '43 in dairying. At
present employed with William Stone
& Sos, of Ingersoll, as their local rep-
resentative, he came here two years
ago last May from Ingersoll, after
three years in that town.
A veteran of the Second World
War, Roy served with the artillery
for two years in Canada and one in
England as a lieutenant. Today he
is O.C. of the 99th Battery with the
rank of captain, having replaced
Bert Platt in that post.
His hockey experience is wide and
varied, having played in the T.H.L.
with the East York Juniors, Inter-
collegiate hockey at O.A.C. and with
the Manitoba Services Senior League
while in the army, as well as playing
in England, After the war he chased
the puck with the Ingersoll "Hell-
cats" and two years ago was the
coach of the Intermediates here. He
has also coached the Stainton Juven-
ile "Spitfires".
Says Roy, "I think we'll have a
very well balanced team this year.
We're out to win every game as we
play it." He feels that their big prob-
lem is the lack of experienced sub-
stitutes. "If we don't have too many
injuries, we'll have an excellent team,"
states the coach.
Roy points out that the Mohawks
are very well equipped, thanks to the
generosity of the Wingham merch-
ants and fans and that they plan to
carry over a balance of $600 for next
year's team. At the end of the year
any profits will he split among the
players. "We plan to cultivate the
habit of having the hockey team here
in Wingham every Saturday night
we can. Practices are on Tuesday
and Thursday nights."
A married man with two children.
Peter and Margie, Roy married the
former Frances McCarthy of Camp-
bell River, B.C., a very charming and
attractive gal, and they live in the
new housing development, better
known as Hillcrest. The coach of
the Wingham Mohawks finds time
between all his other duties and in-
terests to teach Sunday School at the
United Church.
It's our opinion that a better man
would be hard to find to fill the post
of coach for the Wingham Mohawks
and under his guidance we can be
sure of some good games here this
season.
(Next week's personality—Bert Ma-
thers, business manager of the Mo-
hawks.)

ton scored twice to tie up the game.

however, and Wadsworth netted the
winning goal in the last minute of
play.

four times for tripping, fighting, high
sticking and kneeing. Lott for fight-
ing, Anderson for tripping, Hilton

IN THE SPORTLIGHT
By AL FORBERG
Sports Editor
BIRTH OF BASKETBALL
A Canadian youngeter, who was an orphan at the age of eight, and who
was slated for the ministry by the uncle who raised him, was the inventor
of the game called basketball.
While a student at McGill University, this youngster became interested
in sports. He became a star Canadian football player and became so enthus-
ed about sports that when he finished his studies at McGill he went to the
'United States and enrolled as a student at the Y,IVI,C.A. Training College at
Springfield, Massachusetts, to prepare for a career in physical training.
The whole student body at that college numbered only 40, yet it boasted
one of the best football teams in the country, coached by Alonzo Stagg, This
young Canadian reported for football and although only weighing 160 pounds,
became the team's centre and a famous American football star. Upon gradua-
tion, he was persuaded to remain at the Y.M.C.A. College as a teacher. It
was a good thing for sports that he did, particularly one sport. In time this
one time football star invented a new game, His name was James Nesmith,
and the game he invented was called Basketball.
SHOELESS JOE DIES CLABILING INNOCENCE—
"Shoeless Joe" Jackson, once one of baseball's greatest hitters, died in
Greenville, South Carolina, on Wednesday last, still maintaining his in-
nocence of any wrong-doing in the 1919 World Series scandal,
Jackson, aged 63, was one of the eight Chicago White Sox players
accused of accepting bribes to throw the series to the Cincinnati Reds.
Jackson, Oscar Feisch, Arnold Gandil, George Weaver, Charles Risberg,
Fred McMullin, Eddie Cicotte and Claude Williams were barred for life
from organized baseball by the late Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis.
Jackson, who played the outfield and hit .375 in the series won by the
Reds five games to three, had been plagued by heart trouble in recent years.
Wednesday night he went to bed at 9.30 o'clock and awakened shortly after,
complaining of chest pains. He died before help could be summoned,
After his banishment, Jackson cited his acquittal of conspiracy charges
in a Chicago court as proof of his innocence. A civil court later awarded
him the unexpired portion of his salary from the Chicago Americans.
Joe was born in the Brandon community near Greenville in June, 1888.
He broke into basball with the Greenville club of the Carolina League with
a smashing .348 average in 1908, Later he played with the Philadelphia
Athletics and began a five-year stand with Cleveland in 1910. The Indians
sold him to the White Sox late in the 1915 season for $30,000 and three
players. He had a lifetime major league average of .356 for 1330 games and
was regarded as one of the games most natural hitters. In 1911 he hit .408
but lost the American league batting championship to Ty Cobb who hit .420.
The "Shoeless" tag was hung on him, thanks to a story that he once
played the outfield/ without shoes in the minors because of a sore heel.
HOCKEY TEAM ROLLING—
Wingham Mohawks have a perfect record so far, having won their first
game against Kincardine last Friday night 8 to 6. Saturday night's affair
with Clinton was called off by the Air Force due to lack of transportation,
and we'll predict a Wingham win last night against Kincardine.
ET CETERA—
The Wingham Curling Dub is holding a Boxing Day Bonspiel with two
draws, one at 9 a.m. and the other at 11 a,m. Anyone wishing to enter
should put his name on the list at the curling club.... Sharpey Seli will not
be playing hockey this year. His position with the Hydro takes him out of
town a good deal. . . Don't forget—Christmas Seals are your best buy for
Christmas!

Palmerston 64=24
Where's the team in these parts
who can give the Wingham town
basketball team a run for their mon-
ey? Wingham met Palmerston last
Wednesday and defeated them hand-
ily by the lopsided score of 64 to 24.
The boys are really rolling, partic-
ularly Bob Ferguson who popped in
18 points for the hometowners, Jerry
Higenell was right behind with 16,
Johnny Crowson with 12, and Jack
Lloyd 11.
Palmerston couldn't seem to get
rolling and the locals kept them off
