The Wingham Advance-Times, 1972-10-05, Page 12Page 4—The Wingham Advance -Tunes, Thursday, October 5, 1972 What q game! Surely, there has never been more fren- zied excitement in the school than last Thursday when every television in the build- ing was on for the last of the Canada -Soviet hockey games. The student lounge was alive! With Esposito's and Cournoyer's goals to bring the game to a tie in the final period, tension reached, feverish heights. Throats grew hoarse, fingernails vanished, eyes be- came watery as the seconds ticked by. Then Henderson popped it in. Thunderous ap- plause shook the building! Truly, it,was unfortunate thatnot all the student body was able to watch the game. Ar, article which appeared in the "Globe and Mail" that morning caused quite a stir around the school during the day. Mr. T. Wells, minister of education in Ontario had allegedly stated that all students should watch the game. Well, it's too bad that he didn't take more definite steps and long be- fore, but as ane Person said, who could have foreseen the maelstrom of national emotion over a series which came right .down to the last game, even to the last minute of play. John Deneau H -Perth volleyball tournament By Doug Thomson On Thursday the students of F. E. Madill not only witnessed a sensational hockey game but also a very exciting volleyball tourna- ment. Students from Seaforth, Exeter, Goderich, and Clinton came to Wingham to hold the Huron -Perth volleyball meet. The Seniors, coached by Mr. Simpson, • started out on the "right foot" by winning two out of three games against Seaforth. The next time they played they were overpowered by Clinton's superior team and lost the next two games by a large margin. The Juniors had equally hard luck as they lost the first two games against Clinton and also Seaforth. Mr. Wolsey, the Junior coach, says that we will be seeing more spiking in the future. The Juniors need and deserve our support because they haven't won for quite a while.• Special thanks goes to the stu- dents who officiated the games.

GIRLS' SOFTBALL By Dianne Thompson. MN N Intermural girls' softball is underway at F. E. Madill. The rules for this softball are a little different from Tri -county base- ball. There are seven to nine girls on the field at once. If there are under seven players, that team is - disqualified and the other team wins. This garne is two pitch, which means that the batting team sup- plies the pitcher. The batter gets two chances to Crit the ball or she is out. If a foul is hit, the batter gets another chance. Stealing bases is not allowed on a pitch and you're allowed only one base on an overthrow. All the players get a chance to bat and then the outfield comes in. The game lasts three innings and if there is a tie, one more in- ning is played. If there. isn't enough time, a new game' is played. This softball activity is. um- pired by Mrs. Lobb who helps make all the games a success..

The defence then got even more fierce as several of the Stratford players went off the field tired and sore. Then on a powerful drive by the front line and a grinding tackle, Cliff Mann picked up a fumble and ran it into the Stratford end zone for sic points followed by a two-point ball convert. The defence proved themselves several more times as they picked off passes and caught the quarterback for losses. They. held the offence out from inside their ten yard line on, four occasions.
