Senior Basketball
Team Scores 32-25
Win Over Grads
By Barry Attridge
The, game that has been 'talked
about for some time was finally
played on Saturday night. Fel-
lows in town had been bragging ,to
us about the Wand of *basketball
played a few ,years ago and so we
challenged them to a game.
It was a nip and tuck affair to
the end with the seniors pulling
the game out of the fire with a,
rally in the final minutes of the
game. At half time we led 23-16
but after the third quarter it was
24-23 for the Grads. In the last
quarter they began 'to tire and we
outscored them 10-1 to make the
final tally read 33-25.
To tell the truth, I ' must say
that they played a very good game
considering the fact, that some of
their players haven't played for a
half dozen or more years.
Line-ups
GRADS—Jim Donnelly 2, Jerry
Ginn, Doug MacDonald, George
Harris 8, Ron Skelton, Allan Buch-
anan 8, Pitblado 1, Baker 2, Ches-
ter McNall 2, Dick Pruder 2-25.
SENIORS—Don Sanderson 2, Bill
Carruthers 4, Bob Gardner 9; Bill'
Larder 2, Fred Skelton 2, Barry
Attridge 12, Don McBride, Ron
Bushell, Roy Venn 2-33.
The H.S.S.A. league is again
ready to swing into action with
our first game at home on Friday
afternoon against Wingham. Like
preceding seasons this is a league
made up of Goderich, Clinton, Sea-;
forth and Wingliam. The winner
in each of the four divisions—;
junior and senior, boys and girls—
advances into the Western Ontario'
playoffs.
The girls' senior team this year!
is unpredictable. They have lost
some experienced players but no-
one knows how hard the other
teams have been hit by graduation.
The junior boys have a bid,
strong roster of sharp -shooters and
are a vastly improved squad. caua--
i pared with last year's team. How-
ever, Clinton juniors have won
all exhibition games this season
and should provide plenty of coin -
petition.
We think we have a good chance
in the senior division. Clinton
should be an easy win and Wing-
, ham won't be too tough (we hope).
llowever, Seaforth is a very strong
club. as they defeated Stratford
Normal. George Ilarris says that
they are big'and have a powerful
attack.
So much for the crystal ball. I
hope at the end of the season
it all comes true' ,

RON BIGGAR COACHES
BELGIAN TITLE -SEEKERS
How do you say, "Keep your
man covered," in French?
That's a question that Ron
Biggar will probably be able
to answer when he fin'shes
his present task of coaching
the Belgium team for the
world championship matches
to be held in Switzerland in
February.' -
Biggar, who played defense'
for Goderich Samis Pontiacs
last season, has sent word
from Liege, Belgium, that he
has moved there from Scot-
land where he went with Nick
Dubick last fall to play hockey
for Fife Flyers of the Scottish
Cup League. Dubick returned
to Goderich during the Christ-
' mas season at which time Big-
gar was still in Scotland but
was contemplating making the,
move to the continent.
Although he misses Gode-
rich, Biggar says Belgium is a
"great . place but everyone
speaks French." Consequent-
ly, he has an interpreter who
tells the players what he
wants them to do.
