We understand it is the first victory for the student locals in many a moon. Not the last though, they tell me, Best of luck kids. * * Figure skating is really catching on in Wingham. Last Saturday's class under the instruction of Stratford professional ROSS SMITH, 59 eager students of all ages were on hand to learn the rudiments of this sport, We would like to give some well earned praise to "SHORTY" BROOKS who skates more miles than anyone in Wingham these days and who is always willing to give some help to anyone interested in figure skating. Shorty has managed to keep interest alive in figure skating around here over the years. ETCETRA DEPARTMENT The town basketball team which hasn't seen any action since before Christmas will get back into action against Palmerston on Thursday even- ing at eight in the Listowel Armouries. There is some doubt as to Wing- ham's entry in the OBA to date but Coach BILL CONRON expects this to be cleared up soon. Several exhibition games will be held besides the regular ,schedule. * We hear that TED ENGLISH will be in a Mohawk uniform for Friday night's game and will play on a line with Johnny Crewson and Bill Lock- ridge. * * * SIRAIGHT FRolvi THE GoALMou'III • With she genies under their belt, Wingham MohaWire Intermediate A team has four victories to its credit and two losses nut on, the other side of the board; three wins over Kincardine, one over Clinton nOAF and two loses to Goderieh Semis Pontiaps, Johnny Crewson is out for three weeks With an injureg Wrist 'ter last Friday's game at Kincardine, According to Coach Rey BotintoreKillerjgbeek, the big boy from Peterboro, has been dropped from the team. Hilbert has been troubled with a knee injury which is keeping him from giving his beet, Wingham has two outstanding defencemen in GEORGE WESTLAKE and JACK PYM, Westlake, who is also team captain, is a hard-hitting de- fericernan and a fine two-way player. Pym is a scrappy little individual with lots of drive. Roy Wilson seems to have found himself this year and looked particularly good against Clinton on Saturday night, scoring three times, . shades of Maurice Richard, One of the classiest locals is young )3ILL LOCKRIDGE, who has made some very neat goals, SANGSTER, in goal is doing a terrific job, considering this is his first season. GIBIIART is fast earning a reputation as the bad man of the league, with more time in the penalty box than any other of the locals.

Captain NEIL STAINTON is the standout player on the team for our money, A good stick-handler, time and time again Neil steals the puck from under the opposition's nose, It's a pleasure to watch him play. RAY LOTT is probably the most spectacu- lar player on the ice, despite a weak ankle. KEITH ANDERSON and LEN HUTTON are two of the high scorers for the Spitfires. MURRAY has been doing a good job in goal as have CHITTICK and GERRIE in their positions.

The mild weather of the past week was a tough break for the hockey teams. Both the Junior and Inter- mediate games had to be cancelled. Mr. Dick Irwin, who was visiting with his sister, Mrs. Wm. Ruddy, on the Blyth-Auburn road, had the misfortune to fall and fracture his ;eg about two inches above the ankle. Mr. Irwin went to the door to view he fog, he slipped and fell with the above result, Mr. John IsSartles, newly ameointed Public School Inspector, made his first official visit to the Public School. Messrs.

Kinsthen Bantams Smear Clinton Coach Dick Lloyd was a mighty proud man last Monday evening at the local ice emporium when his Kinsmen Bantam team overwhelmed an inferior Clinton Lions squad by the lop-sided score of 11-0. Captain Doug Murray, scored five of those goals. Jim Campbell was closest with two tallies. Despite the eleven that got past him, the young Clinton goalie, McKay, played an oustanding game in net and appears to have a future before him if things go well. The Kinsmen's first line of Mur- ray ,Ilocigkinsoei and Fry were re- sponsible for 7 of the goals and the second line of Houghton, Camp- bell and Rose gathered in the re- maining four. Besides Captain Doug •Murray, Red Houghton played a praiseworthy game, First Period-Wingham, . Hodgkin- son (Pry) 100. JOHNNY CItEWSON Johnny Crewson, for a young man, has a sports history as long as your arm. Right Wing is Johnnie's favour- ite spot and from this position led the scoring race last year and is pre- sently ahead this season. A born op- portunist, Johnny never misses an opening, which probably accounts for his high scoring. Born in Toronto, he attended Brown School and Northern Vocat- ional. At the latter school, he played OHA Junior B, Married, he has a young son and a daughter and is em- ployed with Crossett Motors as a car salesman. He is a director of the Kinsmen Club and his hobby is play- ing the piano. While a physical edu- cation instructor in the navy, he played a great deal of hockey. Some of the highlights of his sports career are, a trip to the Chicago training camp at North Bay in 1946, after his discharge from the forces. From 46 to 49 Johnny played with the Stouffville OHA, Sr. B. team. Since Since he came to Wingham in '49, Johnny has played with Stainton Spitfires and this year with the Mo- hawks. - Basketball is another sport in which Johnny stars, having played with the Summerville K,, Dominion Championship team in 1946-47. He has also played lacrosse, hardball and softball. He holds a life saving certificate and has instructed in boys work. Lions' Midgets Edge Clinton The *Wingham Lions Midgets squeezed a victory over Clinton Lions, Monday night 5-4. Although the Clinton team looked to have the edge, Wingham, didn't quit fighting until the last second and managed to hold off a Clinton rally. Baker and Taylor were the high scorers for the local boys with two apiece. Biggs bulged the twine for the remaining one .The winning goal was fired by Biggs. Outstanding for the Winghair Lions were Captain Taylor, Biggs and goalie, Storey. Wingham: Gary Storey, goal; Jerry Fry, L. defence; R. Lancaster, R, Defence; Baker, centre ;Lott, R.

Spitfires Take Arthur Game Hutton pulled the hat trick at Ar- thur on Thursday, January 10h., tal- lying three goals, Lott, Thompson, and Rose earned the other three, It was a close game all the way and was tied up in the tail end of the third period until Lott scored he winner at 17:17 of the last stanza.

Would she fit Into my Gitern- sey herd?(' "No; I dunno as She would." "Does She give lots of milk?" "No; I earet say as she gives lots of milk, but I can tell you this: She's a kind, gentle), good natured old cow, and if she's got sty milk she'll give it to you," No Score at Wingham, Walkerton Clash They don't come any mere evenly matched than in the game last Tues- day, January 8th, between Winghane and Walkerton Juveniles. After ten minutes of overtime, the final score was still 0-0 and the many fans on hand had their money's Worth, The game was marred Ay some rather grim officiating in spots, but the boys didn't let it spoil their game. Both teams were woefully weak in the shooting department, being con- tent mostly to slap at the rubber around the goal, One exception was Chittick who managed to get away some good shots which were stopped. Captain Neil Stainton player' the best game for the horeetowners, help- ing to ride out several Spitfire penal- ties with his expert stickhandling, Ray Lott, who is probably hampered by his bad ankle, played a great two way game. Mortimer in goal for Walkerton is one of those belligerent goalies who invites trouble and if he can't find it, comes out of his net looking for it, Repairs were necessary on several players during the evening, Both Murray in goal and Gerrie stopped pucks with their foreheads instead of their gloves and lost interest in the game for a few minutes, The Spitfires had the edge in the penalty department with bad man Stewart Nimmo earning two, Gerrie two, Lott, Stainton, and Chittick each one, for a total of seven as against Walkerton's four, If the referees had watched the figure skaters from Owen Sound in between periods ,they might have had their eyes opened slightly. This fig- ure skating is rather interesting to say the least. WINGRAM-Goal, Murray, Chit- tick, L, defence, Nimmo, R. defence, Stainton, centre; M.

In past years, this $2,000 simply 'appeared'; made its bow, de- parted not to appear again until the next parliamentary estimates were before the House. A horse belonging to Samuel Reid of Ashfield, met a terrible fate on the main street of Lucknow. Hitched to a cutter, it had been left tied for a considerable time to an iron post in front of a grocery store. Becoming restless or frightened, it leaped for- ward and the sudden strain on the tie strap threw it backward and side- ways on to the post. Its body was pierced nearly througr by the iron. After the eterm, as well tie with it, came the predicted cold snap. Several days it registered ten below sore. The degree of cold varied from this reading down to 64 degrees reported in Alberta. but of course, it cloue not matter there, for you see they "don't feel the cold there,' 'and Wingham- ites, do feel it. The coldest registered here during last week was 26 de- grees below zero, and the coal men and plumbers benefited by it, con- firming the old saying, "It is an ill wind" etc. Tuesday was Division Coutt dein in Gerrie. Judge Iloit preseted. There were a number of cases. The first case was that of Campbell vs., corners of the town. The graduation exercises in eon- n ettion with the Wingham General Hospital were to be held in the Town Hall, on Thursday evening, when two gratlonting nurses were to receive their diplornas. eveessesesseemeseeepeselesseseeeseseesseeeer*eeereelreeersereseeseesesseeeereseeesesesseeel.
