doubled the home team’s score
in the final period, outshooting
them 24-13. Johnny Rether

k aw Venture
Basketball is game with
which few fans in this district
are familiar. But we’ll bet that
after watching the Exeter Mar
oons in one of their home tilts
they’ll become regular fans.
This is the first time that the
game has really been promoted
here and Gord Parrow has a
sharp squad lined up this year.
They are all young fellows,
mostly picked off from the
classy WOSSA teams of the past
couple of seasons.
Monday night the lads opened
their regular schedule at home
with an exciting game against
St. Marys. It was fast and
played a sharp brand of
far the Maroons have
one game this season,
exhibition match with
airmen. The locals have or-
anized the club themselves and
have raised the funds to ‘buy
sports’- uniforms and Jackets.
The next home game will be
Wednesday night. Take a tip
from us and be at the gym that
night. We’II bet you’ll be a
Maroon fan for the rest of the
season. Another (good reason is
that the boys are donating their
surplus proceeds at the end of
the season to the South Huron
Hospital Association — a darn
fine gesture in these days, of
money-conscious atheletes.
The Hockey Situation
Last Friday night, representa
tives of the district hockey
teams got together to talk ovei*
plans for the forthcoming sea
son. And it looks like another
bang-up h o c k e y schedule for
fans in this area.
We learned that all three of
| the new rinks in HensalL Zurich J and Lucan will be in operation
jthls winter. This increase in ice
^facilities adds up to a busier
j schedule and more single games.
’The Lucan rink has the latest HP’^AbE I start hut Friday the first truss

meeting, will try to got an ’’A”

'ing in Wingham Friday night.
players right now but speaking
from the small-town standpoint
we think one of the big reasons
is money rather than the love of
the game.
It wasn't long ago that we re
member the boys bought their
own equipment, even to the
hockey sticks, and now you
practically have to provide
everything a player needs. And
the teams of the past few sea
sons couldn’t hold a candle to
the squads of the ’30s.
Take right here in Exeter for
Instance. Last year the boys
divided up every surplus cent in
the treasury, even to the surplus
left from the year ‘before. We’ve
heard several caustic remarks
from various fans- who have
only supported the team
games but also financially
seasons past. It just shows
trend of the times as we pointed
out above. The sooner hockey
players get back to the real love
of the game, the sooner we
think you’ll see improved hoc
key.
