After a 13-6 loss to Goderich there on Friday night the boys came hometo absorb a 12 to 3 licking from ;the Walkerton OHA Intermediate A squad. There were some bright spots however and one of these was the showing of the three juveniles in Intermediate company. These were Ray Lott, Neil Stainton and Murray Gerry. We have heard a great deal of comment from fans on the classy work of Neil Stainton and it was well deserved, Dew- berry's two counters made us feel happier also and we trust that this week holds better things in store. There Were a great many disappointed fans too on Saturday night, wile expected to see George Zuk in action and his failure to show was a blow. It isn't fair to the fans to advertise Exhibition games and then fail to Produce their best players. It only hurts future Exhibition cards. Walkerton brought along a Juvenile goalie, Mortimer, and his play was remarkable in such fast company. On defence, McLean gains a nod for his efforts. The big defeneeman goes about his Work as though he's enjoying every moment of it and his play is correspondingly good. Weiler, Kroweri- clink, Knox and Loughlean were high scorers and played good hockey as did the whole Walkerton squad, for that matter. 'SII07CS AT THE BASBET Basketball got a much needed needle in theSe parts last Thursday when the Wingham town team won the OVA, group 14 title by winning a game against Palmerston 35-25.

Remembering the Lord at 11,15 Gospel Meeting at 140 Prayers and Bible Study Zioli 'Friday evening at 8 p.m. A left defenceman for the Mo- hawks, Jim Gebhart is only 18 but he has already attracted some at- tention in the hockey world and attended the Barrie Training Camp for a month this fall. His style of play which is fast and rugged makes him a real crowd pleaser. With two more years of Jr. hockey ahead of him, this 5 ft. 8", 165 lb. defenceman, would still like to play Jr. "A" Hoc- key. Born at Hanover, he moved to Pal- merston at the age of seven where he has lived since. He played minor hockey in Palmerston. Other hockey experience includes a sojourn with the Harriston Intermediates and the Palmerston Juniors last year. Besides hockey Jim likes to play tennis and baseball. He was a catcher for the Harriston Lions, Juvenile B champions this summer. While at- tending the Palmerston High School, he won the Senior Championship in 1950-51. Jim completed his Jr, matri- culation and is now employed with the 'United Co-op. Last year, as the representative for Palmerston H. S., he attended the Western Ontario Leaders Club Conference at London. The Captain of the Wingham Mo- hawks, George Westlake, is a husky defenceman with lots of hockey ex- perience under his belt. One of the first-string players on the team, George uses his weight to good ad- vantage. He is one of the best de- fencemen in the league and still manages to earn his share of assists. Born in Goderich, George has play- ed most of his hockey in the county town starting with the midgets and working up to O.H.A. Intermediate A. In between, he played WOAA Juvenile and Junior also being on a O.H.A. Junior C Ontario champion- ship team. Goderich's loss was Wingham's gain when George Westlake moved here in October of 1949. Married, he is the father of two young daughters, and is employed in the Parts De- partment of Wingham Motors. This is his third year with the Wingham team, his first two being with the Stainton Spitfires. George is also a good softball player, playing right field last year for the Crossett Mer- cury team which made the semi-fin- als of the Intermediate A loop. Bowl- ing and basketball are two other sports which interest this local ath- lete. Goderich Gould (Hutchins) Penalties, Meriam, Beacom, IIWSOgs, Pym, Westlake.

Kiehl Young and Pretty Wendell Corey JUDO Powell IN THE SPORTLIGHT By AL FORBERG Sports Editor Did you ever wonder what the average hockey fan thinks about while he sits and shivers through a game in the local ice-house? Well we did a bit of mind-reading on one of the most ardent fans in these here parts, who goes by the handle of Lackadaisical Jones, commonly known to his friends as "Shiftless". Well Shiftless has more sitting hours in at the rink than any other fan and in recognition of his loyalty the Arena Commission last year presented him with a, sponge rubber cushion as Shiftless was beginning to feel the effects of all those years of just sitting. It was one Saturday night and Shiftless was sitting in his favourite seat in the greys (the seats are all grey in the Wingham Arena) but our hero always preferred a spot right beside the home team's bench where, "I can git the low down on their stretgee". Well there were a confusing number of so-called thoughts milling around in Shiftless' head and we had a hard time getting tuned in to his wave length and sorting them all but this is the way they came out. "Cold in here—ray back is aching like fury to-night—be glad when this game is over—go home and take a hot bath—something to thaw me out—the nerve of that guy at the gate asking me to pay, must be a new man—cold in here—these guys don't play hockey like we used to play—wish I could see as far as the nets—cold in here—when I was younger, could have skated circles around these young pups—don't seem to have the stamina we used to have—cold in here—have to take something to warm me up when I go home, "Listen to that coach telling them to get cracking—these coaches don't use the language they used to—good thing too what with all the women in the rink—take that cute little gal in green beside me—now if I were a little bit younger—Oh well! what's the use of dreaming—there was a day though—Boy! is it ever cold in here—guess I'll go sit by the stove after this period—listen to those women howl for action—cold-blooded creatures, they don't know what it's like to get knocked around out there—what's the score-12 to 3 for those bums—what's the matter with these guys—can't seem to hit anything—at least they're warmer than I am—skating around —that referee looks as if he's liable to fall over from old age—where do they resurrect those guys from?—cold in here—another goal for the other side—how about it you guys?—get the lead out—good thing I don't pay to see this fiasco—that flying puck nearly got me in the chops—would have meant a new pair of false teeth for sure—well we've lost this game—if I'd been coaching It'd been different—boy am I cold wish I'd brought my glasses—can't see a thing without them." Stainton Spitfires Swamp A/filth-way 74 The Stainton Spitfires Juvenile en- try won an one-sided victory against the Mildmay Juveniles Tuesday night of last week at the local arena. The visiting team were shy on substitutes and by the time the final buzzer sounded they were a pretty tired bunch with a 7-1 score against them. Winglaarn didn't have it all their own way, however, as the Mildmay boys battled right to the send and tal- lied their only marker in the dying moments of the game. Hutton, Anderson and Donahue netted two for the Spitfires. Young earned the remaining goal. H. Lane spoiled Gregg's chance at a shut-out.

The Wingham locals will now meet another group winner selected by the OBA ,not known at this date. Bob Ferguson led the scoring for the hometowners with a 12 point total. Dick Lloyd and Jerry Hige- nell followed closely with eight and seven respectively. These three play- ers were the backbone of the Wing- ham attack, It was a pretty close game all the way handicapped by a slippery floor. Both teams had only three substi- tutes. Coach Bill Conron took to the floor and \was a big help to the short- handed locals. Clare sparked the Palmerston at- tack with ten points. Beel and D'Alton netted six points each, and Gilliland earned the other five. WINGHAM—Ferguson 12, Lloyd 8, Higenell 7, Metcalfe 4, Martin 2, Con- ron 2, Belfry 2 assists, Forberg, 2 assists.
