There were several severe cases of eye strain caused by various males staring too hard and too long at the female underpinnings on display. The optometrists will reap the profits. One optometrist, by the name of Al Williams, who was supposedly working one of the spotlights had to be reminded several times of his duties. Ross Smith, the Stratford professional, has done a great job here in the short time at his disposal and we feel that his work, should be followed up. There will be a meeting to-night in the Council Chambers to discuss the organization of a club so be sure to be there. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION What may prove to he one of the biggest strides forward, in a good many years of Wingham's sports history, was taken last Friday with the organiz- ation of an Athletic Association. The need is there for such a body of interested sportsmen. To be successful the association will need the support of every business man and resident of Wingham. It was decided at the same meeting to import a battery for our softball team and so make an entry in the Big Ten. It is our understanding that the newly formed Athletic Association will be responsible for the raising of funds to hire these imports. Charlie Crossett felt that George Zuk would be ideal for the team and would also be around to play hockey in the winter. Those present were un- animous in the feeling that anyone whom they brought in to pitch softball should settle down and take a job here and become a resident of Wingham. This is a step in the right direction. The Softball Association and Alex Coutts, who has been associated with sotfball here since 1924, deserve a lot of credit for backing up the decision to bring in a battery at a large financial outlay. It remains to be seen whether this is the end of sponsored•softball in our town or not. A rumour has reached our ears to the effect that Charlie Justice will pitch for Hanover this year. Russ Johnston has signed up with Meaford, so things are shaping up for a great season, WOAA MEETING It is the usual thing to-day to make caustic remarks about sports gov- erning bodies but we are going to reverse the procedure for a change. The body we are referring to is the WOAA executive. We had the opportunity to spend four hours of Sunday afternoon at a WOAA meeting and our con- clusion is this, "The seats in the Council Chamber are darned hard." We were impressed with the reasoning of these men on the problems that were before them and felt that they had the best interests of hockey at heart. Anyone who will give four hours of Sunday afternoon to hockey must loVe the game.
