Exeter took an 8-3 win over Dashwood while Hensali scored a 6-2 decision ovei* the Lu can Irish in the goals-to-count series. The long lay-off had its effect on theA brand of hockey dislied up. At times there was plenty of action in both games and then as quick as things livened up the teams sank into listless battle. Contrary to what was anticipated the Exeter- Dashwood game provided more ex citement for the railbirds than did the second. The Lucan Irish didn't put up the fight with Hensali that was expected. The first tween these two teams the worst seen at the year. Five Casualties Three of the five members on the casualty list wear Exeter sweaters. However, Ryckman.’s knee injury was the most serious and may keep him on the sidelines.

Gerry Paul, Lucan’s capable centre, received a bad shaking up in a col lision with defenceman gangster. Exeter Wins First Game Big gun in the Exeter win was the four-goal effort off Harold Shaw. The winger collected two tallies in the first and two in the second. Jimmy Hayter was Dash wood’s best, Although scoring but one goal as a result of being tag ged closely by the locals the speedy centre left his backcheckers trail ing when he did get away. How ever, only once did he get away for any real damage. That was late in the .second period when he skated in on the unprotected Smith to dump the puck into the net. The Exeter goalie was left alone to stop him on two oi* three other occas ions. Dashwood’s persistent checking gave the local squad few opportun ities in the opening minutes al though Stire, H. Brintnell and Hennessey gave Weido a hot time •as they did everything but score. Old thirteen favored Exeter for at thirteen minutes and thirteen sec onds of the period Shaw fired the first goal after Trites had tested Weido. Both lines ibegan sifting through the Dashwood defence and peppering Weido heavily as the game opened up. A smart three- way attack, Fletcher-to-Trites-to- Shaw paid off with Shaw netting ■his second. Early in t'he second Shaw con tinued his payoff hockey by taking a long forward pass from Ryckman. Trites made it 4-<0' on a long drive from centre. Dashwood then start ed rolling to score all three goals before the second ended. Bill Muss er got the first on a play with Harry and -Jim Hayter. The first line came up with some better com bination plays than in the last few games and for the third time paid off as Ryckman started the trio on a goal-hungry hunt. Bill Musser again scored for Dashwood with the aid of the Hayter brothers. Jim slipped the disc in front to Bill •after ’Harry Hayter had engineered it up the ice. Jim ended the Dash wood scoring when he broke away with the Exetei* puckchasers trail ing behind. In the third MacDonald started things going scoring aftei* Fletcher had carried the puck up to the blue- line and sent Joe in to beat Weido. Carl Stire did the rest of the sharp shooting for Exexter with two tal lies.

If it is not too late it might be a good idea for the locals to try and get an exhibition game with the Clinton Radio School or some team such as Mitcchell in the Ontario Rural League. It’s one way of finding out how they stack up ■against these teams, It seems to be the opinion of local hockey fans that Exeter should be able to spon sor a team in higher company. * * * * “CHICK” PROTESTS Last week in one of his columns “Chick” Appel of the Stratford Beacon-Herald rakes the CHA exec utive over the coals for placing the Stratford 'Legion entry into an In termediate “A” group. “Chick” states that the Legion entry is in the same class as the Clinton and •Seaforth “B” entries who are now currently fighting it out for the group championship. The Stratford team was in the same grouping Gor ing the schedule but due to their higher rating were given a bye into the playdowns with other “A” win ners.

HENSALL TAKE'S LEAD In the second game Hensali had a fairly easy time with the Lucan .Irish who definitely had an off night. The Irish will be forced Wednesday night to overcome a four-goal lead that Hensali built up. Goal-tender Lucas kept the rest of his tehmmates company by let ting two centre ice shots dribble through his pads. A third Hensali tally went in off a Lucan player’s stick. Kennedy scored half of his team’s goals with one in the first •and two in th? third. The opening period was anything •but playoff calibre .hockey. It was a very slow listless session. Kennedy scored the first goal during a scramble. Not long after Hensali night. Worry Often Causes Worry1 is probably the most Common cause of restlessness.

Only Gus Mortenosn and Turk Broda failed to get in on the point spree. Sunday night again, the Leafs turned aside the Rangers 4-2 to revive their sup porters hopes. The Toronto squad have won hut five in t'heir last twenty starts although they tied five during that time. Both Garth Boesch and Bob Goldliam have been missing from their defence chore with injuries and now Wally Stan- ouski is in the hospital for treat ment of a twisted knee, this leav ing the blueline duties up to Thom son, Mortson and Barilko. Saturday night the Leafs had Eddie Cutts of Pittsburg dressed but did not use 'him becaus of not receiving sanc tion from the AHL. In a last min ute move Bud Poile was moved back on defence and he came through with a. three-goal effort. Wins Exhibition The Duchess of Kent Legion team, of London, held the upper hand by a fairly wide margin to down the locals by the convincing score of 16-3 in an exhibition game at the Arena Monday night. Several of the London players have made their teams at combined tors took stars for ming of the season. For two periods the Exeter squad held the high fly ing London team from piling up the score but came the third the visitors slipped in nine goals. At that Gerry Smith, the busiest man on the kicked out Shot after shot. Tempers flared consistently high sticks prevailed most of way. In the first two .periods locals kept stride with their oppon ents even though badly outweighed. They won at least two of the bouts but in the third Hap Wells set up three lines to stave off the visitors while at the same time trying to save his squad for the playoffs Wed nesday night. One cheery note in the whole affair was the half decent time of the finish, It was 10.30 when the crowd made its way out of the Arena instead of the near mid night sessions. Wes Ryckman, who injured his knee in t'he first game of the semi finals was missing from the lineup. It is hardly likely he will be ready ifor tonight’s (Wednesday) tilt but it is possible he will ibe in action ■Friday night. Exeter jumped into the lead as a minute of the game had slipped 'by. •Shaw was the marksman taking MacDonald’s pass on the left boards •and driving one past Berry. London tied it up when 'Smith’s long shot hit the rigging and Woods put the visitors one up grabbing .a loose puck and sifting one past Smith. Har Brintnell and Preszcator put the team on even terms again when Har sent Don in with a pass in cen tre ice. Don rounded 'Buchanan on the defence and went in to beat Berry. Max Hudson sent the visitors in the lead again as the period end ed. From there on London o started their spree. Manors, Hudson, Wal lace and 'Smith dumped in four goals in the second. In the third Smith and Philips rang up tw.o goals with single tallies going to Mac Donald, Woods, 'Dean, Blay, and ■Manore. Tuckey got the lone Exeter tally near the end of the game.

They lost their first game of the season 4-2 on the small ice sheet at Sarnia, but won the goals-to-count round 13-10. The end came when the hoys met Kitchener in the playdowns. At this game every town and city within forty miles was represented, jam ming the Dome rink to the rafters. Kitchener won the round 10-2 and went into the finals to win 'the In termediate O.H.A. championship. Writer losing to Kitchener the home team entered the Northern Hockey League finals and after trimming Lucknow, met the Strat ford mous and team 2-2 on their home ice. went into the finals and won the championship. This is a record that any town might well be .proud of, especially a town the size of Exeter. To ibe put out by two strong teams such as Kitchener and Stratford who went on to win both championships was no mean defeat.

Less than a minute of the third had rolled -by when Stretton scored Lucan’s other tally on a scramble to make the score 3-2.

Every now and then when hockey is being discussed someone crops up with a discussion about the great Exeter-Zurich team of 19 22. So thumbing through the files of the Times and the Advocate we dug up some dope on 'the games of 25 years ago. The Exeter-Zuricli squad put the old town on the hockey map. It was the greatest year in the his tory of Exeter’s hockey. They had an enthusiastic following of hockey fans for miles around and during their climb to the semi-finals as many as 1,20'0 to 1,300 fans jam med the old Dome rink. We have heard some of the old er fans tell of how they boarded a. train or pulled the old Model “T” through snowdrifts to see “Huiny”, “Big Dodo and Little Dodo" and the rest of Ike 'gang in action. From this team one player in particular made himself famous as a hockey player. He was the late “Babe” Siebert, of Zurich, who •played with the Montreal Maroons and later with the Canadiens. In 1922 he played on a line with ’‘Little Dodo” Hoffman and Mc Kinnon. Patrolling the defence was “Big Dodo” Hoffman and Hind marsh and in the nets was the small but mighty Cook, as he was called. The players In those days were sixty-minute men and you didn’t see any offside plays to make a change. Callfas, Robinson and George were the only substitutes and often only one or two subs played in the game. After winning the Intermediate O.H.A, group championship, which included teams from St. Marys, Goderich. Mitchell and Clinton, Without a loss, they met Ingersoll in the second round, defeated the. brack games, 6-5 and ,5-3. Commenting On the gersoll, the Ingersoll view stated that the Exeter-Zurich team had ono of the heaviest squads playing hockey hut despite their advantage in weight over their fiv* als they were an exceptionally clean-playing team, In the next found they met Sar nia and defeated them in the first The locals teams both game at In- Sentinel-Re- Remember !
