'’LET'S MAKE THEM
In the games rolled at Sweit
zer Lanes Monday night in the
Exeter Men’s Bowling League,
two of the top three teams came
out of the scuffle with five
points each. The teams are very
closely bunched and it will take
next Monday night of the regu
lar schedule to decide the teams’
positions. The only position
clinched so far is last place and
the Whizz Bangs seem to have
taken a mortgage on it!
On the first two alleys, the
Big Six met the Pinpoppers. The
first two games were never in
doubt as far as the Pinpoppers
were concerned; they literally
submerged the Big Six. However,
the last game the Six did man
age to salvage, 'by a narrow mar
gin. Bob Nicol and Ray Wuerth
were the big guns of the eve
ning for the ’Poppers- — Nicol
with 862 (363) and Wuerth-
with 725 (289). As for the rest
of the team, they didn’t even
come close to averaging 200 foi'
the evening. Capt. Stan. Frayne
was high man for the Six with
599 (263).
On the next two alleys, 3 and
4, the first place Hot Shots' met
the fifth place Cellar Rats.
These games were very close and
considering the standing of each
team the Rats lout up a good
fight as the Shots only managed
to win four points. Captain Har
ry Holtzman rolled a nice set of
6 59 (245), with Doug Brintnell
close on his heels with 639
(257). For the Cellar Rats, Ken
CUdmore had himself a good
night’s rolling with... 6S0 (275).
Fathei- Gord Cudmore was right
behind his son'with 633 (283).
In the match between the But
chers and Whizz Bangs, the for
mer came out on top, 'as expect
ed, with five points. Ken Hockey
topped the meat men with 660
(254), while Harold Bleay took
the second spot honours'- with
624 (222). The Bangs, minus
two men, were rather handi
capped. Norm Walper turned in
their best effort •—• 596 (231).
Wes Ryckman had the high'sin
gle for the Butchers with 316.
&Jt ’ nt 5’rf 4:
Some of the h i g h games
turned in for the men -are: Ken
Hockey, 391; .Wank Sagril’f,
379; and Don Hughes, 372. Dot
Brady took the women’s high
single with 304; K
For the month of April, Bill
Sweitzer is donating $5.00 for
the high women’s single, as well
as . $5.00 for the high men’s sin
gle.
As of Monday night, Bob
Nicol’s 363 is the first men’s
score to be posted up.

Canners Bowling Team
Edges Forest Rivals
By. DICK HOWARD
The Exeter Canners’ Bowling
League, in a post-season tourn
ament with .other Western Ont
ario branches, played their first
match against branch. No. 51
Forest on Thursday night—and
Exeter skated home in the lead
by .a skinny 68 pins for five
games.
It was a “Battle Royal” with
No, 51 against *No, 100‘; and to
the victors belonged the spoils
of war— let the bowling- pin
chips fall where they might.
In the first game it was nip
and tuck; with Forest doing the
‘Nipping’ and Exeter the “Tuck
ing”. After the first game the
Forest players, “Saw their duty
and done it noble”,
In the second, third and
fourth games Forest scooted
ahead as fast as a hound dog
with ammonia rubbed on and a
tin can tied to his tail, scootin’
down front street in a sit-down
stride. - .
Huck .Campbell, Captain of
the Forest team, had their high
individual score for five games
of 254 (827). Stan Snell snaf
fled a snappy 235 gnd 222 for
two games.
Lorne Goodhand got a “Good
hand” from the chair rooters
for steady consistent bowling of
194 and' 17'6. Lloyd Hall had
two top games of 23 2 and 220.
- Bill Johnston shone with three
good games of .251, 195, 195,
making him .high scorer for 5
games of .990—and was voted
most valuable player for his
team.
But the last game was THE
game. It was a race all the way;
like A.Q. Bobier .and Bill Bawd-
en used to race their blood
mares down Main Street to the
bridge—“Heads up and tails
over the dash-board, .hell bent
for election and don’t spare the
horses!”
In the final game with Exeter
160 .pins down the gutter, Bob
Nicol, Earl Mero and Dick
Quance really showed the champ
ion calibre of which they are
capable, by coming from behind
and pulling their team up by
their own boot-straps, to win by
the aforesaid 68 pins.
Bob Nicol bo;wled a juicy 257
(210-210'6 in’ fwo*’other ’ games).
Bob “Bowled down the alley, his
bowl”—that’s a split infinitive
like the split he got in the last
frame .of the game, when he
keeled over the three centre pins
and left the two outside pins
standing.
Earl Mero, Captain . of the
Exeter team and Chief Engineer
at the plant, opened up his.
steam valve to its fullest in that
last ^ame and made six strikes
in a row, and plus two spares
out of ten frames—to chalk up
on “Swietzer’s” blackboard high
score of 34S.
Exeter’s one and only Dick
Quance, went down on his knees
in his unusual prayer-like bowl
ing stance to good effect, and
his prayers were answered to
the total of 224. (There is one
thing Dick will never be accused
of “Crossing the Foul Line”—
because lie delivers his bowl
down the alley from back near
Centralia RCAF Airport).
“Fast Ball” Bill Webster
“Cooked” up .a nice little aver
age score, to the tune of “Cruis
in’ Down The River” which he
whistles all day; but he wasn’t
i n .his customary two-century
groove.
Even the “Sweeper” danced a
little jiggy-jigffy on the parquet
foul line and sang, “15 Two; 15
Four And Two For His Nobs”
when he topped his whole team
in the first game with a high
score of 195.
We must mention Sweet Alice
(Blue Gown) came down from
the front office in a snazzy Reid
Vancouver sweater model, and
boosted for the home team in
the last game which counts
much towards the win.
The E x e t e i’ bowlers were
wearing the new Bowling League
sweater crests designed by mem
bers of the team, and furnished
with the kind assistance of
Tommy White (Sport Shop) of
London baseball fame.
But the best thing of all
about the whole night’s play,
was the dead game sportsman
ship of the Forest fellows, win
or lose with a sttiiie. in fact we
dare to .wax poetical about them
-—they were each and everyone
like:
“Let others cheer the winning
man, ,
There’s one I hold worth
while;
‘Tis he who does the best he
can,
Then loses with a smile.
Beaten he is, but not to stay
Down with the rank and file;
That man will win some other
day,
Who loses With a smile!”
IF THE enthusiasm shown at
the baseball meeting last Thurs
day night can last throughout
the coming season then . this
town should be represented 'by a
good club in the district O,B.A,
loop, It was the liveliest ball
meeting held for several years,
* # * *
Plans call for an all-out effort
to get Exeter back in a contend
ing spot, It is hoped to bring in
a battery around which the new
ly appointed manager, Joe
Creech, can mould a team from
the local talent. Just how good
the club will be largely depends
upon the boys who can be
brought in, The home team de
finitely needs help on the mound,
If they can secure a good twirler
and perhaps a receiver, com
bined with the young talent on
hand, manager Creech should be
■able to field a team that will
give the rest of the district
towns nine innings of good com
petition in every game.
A CHARACTER by the name
of Elmer Slotzhauser, who per
iodically breezes into The Lon-,
don Free Press office to gen up
sports editdr Jack Parks, has it
in for Exeter we fear.
tjc ❖
Elmer, district fans will re
member, is the guy who scored
six , or seven goals a game for
Exeter this winter, at least that
is what he tells Jack. But for
Elmer, the tough break is that
he hasn’t been repaid with the
laughing lettuce he has been
promised.
# $ » »
W.ell, Jack, you may not be
lieve it but up here in the sticks
we still play our hockey for the
fun of it. However, it can’t be
denied Elmer that he was the
mainstay of the team and we
have it by 'the grapevine that
Slotzy will be compensated in
the near future for his valuable
contribution.* * * *
However, as we said before,
this is the first time that the
locals have had much to do with
sh amateurs (to use Jack/S
word) and maybe we are a little
slow in getting around to it up
here. Then, too, maybe Elmer
was getting a little hasty. A cou
ple of weeks have barely slipped
•by since the club folded and, as
Jack states, Elmer still had his
skates on when he came into his
HARPLEY
Mr. Hector Murray left on
•Saturday for Midland to resume
his sailing on the Great Lakes,
Mrs., Mary Gill of Grand Bend,
spent Thursday at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. William Love.
Mr, Glcjn Hayter went to Mid
land on Saturday to take up
sailing.
Mr, Don Love, of S h i p k a.
spent Sunday afternoon with his
friend, Alex Loye,
Mr, and Mrs, jack Hodgins, of
Corbett, spent Sunday afternoon
with Mr. andMrs. Paul Eagleson,
office.
Ry the way, Jack, if you run
into Elmer again, send him up
our way for the baseball season.
Farquharson and Van Horne may
•have .given him the brush-off
but here the local club executive
is looking for a couple of dark
horses for the coming season.
