S12 Obituary There are seven bowlers in the Men’s Bowling League who could well act as minister and pallbearers for the funeral of their own team. No, it is not the Tradesmen— we hope they will come to life tomorrow (Wednesday) night against the Spares. It’s those powerless Pinpoppers! Seldom do we stick our necks out this far in this column but, so everyone can either sob in sympathy or smirk in derision, the Pinpoppers do not appear to be the contenders of former years, To our knowledge, the Pin poppers, one of the few original teams remaining that formed the Men’s Bowling League five years ago, never' finished out of the top six at the season’s end. This year they are a soggy third (probably) last and sinking fast. The teams they have met this year have not been exceptionally good, except on the night they meet the Pinpoppers (and some not even then). However, the Pinpoppers do seem to inspire the best out an opposing team. So you can all laugh, we will let you in on something humor ous; At the start of the season, the Pinpoppers — staggered by the loss of three bowlers — agreed they wouldn’t enter the league unless they could rum mage up a contending team. At the last * minute, they en tered a team that looked good (on paper) and still looks good (on paper). In all fairness to the members of the team, they do not look too bad on the alleys, but there they are—three points out of the league cellar! The Pinpoppers solation: With all ed this year, they make the playoffs Before the Strikes bury the remains next week, we would like to propose an epitaph the monument: Here’s to the ’Poppers— With bowling so fickle, 'Tis lucky they were To have Kies wetter and Nicol! have one con- teams includ- are certain to for E.

The team will get an auto matic bye into the playdowns since there are no junioi’ clubs in the immediate district. The intermediate Maroons failed to enter a team in the district league this year because of a shortage of players and limited court space. The Maroons practiced in the arena gym which is no longer available due to artificial ice renovations.

There will be a heavy program this year and, as you well know, there will be many interesting highlights. A weekly schedule, scores and standings of our minor hockey league, figure skat ing, recreation league hockey and cyclone league are a few of the topics we will try to cover. A word of thanks to those people who have helped make my wife and I welcome to your community of Exeter. We are comfortable in our apartment and like your town very much, or should I say oin* town. I do hope that people, boys and girls, will feel free to say ‘‘hello” at any time and if at any time you wish to discuss anything with free—let meme, please feel help. When, work is are going to have every citizen will Let us treat it as such. A listing of rules and regulations shall be posted throughout the building. These sheets of typewritten pa per are not for decoration pur poses. Read them and adhere to the rules. This is your building. Help keep it clean. There is, I find, a very fine spirit of co operation here in Exeter. Minor Hockey Glenn Mickle has run off a supply of hockey contracts for minor league hockey and through the co-operation of the high and public school principals we have had them circulated throughout the schools. These contracts I have found tq, be very helpful both to myself and to the par ents and boys as well. The -ruling set down by the minor hockey league executive of Exeter is to the effect that folks from the surrounding district shall be encouraged to enroll' their boys who wish to play hoc key in our minor league set-up. Already contracts have gone out to the area as well as the Air Station. When the contracts are completed and returned, I shall group them into the various age brackets. Five Divisions Minor hockey is to be lined up in five brackets: Wee Wee, 5-7 years; Pee Wee, 7-11 years; Bantam, 11-13 years; Midget, 13-15 years; Juvenile, 15-17 years of age. These ages are as of August 1. In other words a juvenile may be 18 after August 1 or a Bantam may be 14 after August 1. In small groups we will not adhere too strictly to age. A boy may be moved up or down ac cording to size and ability. Each team must be comprised of at least 10 players. Team Names The names of the teams shall follow this pattern: Wee Wees: Bugs, Bees, Ants, Worms, etc. Pee Wees; Robins, Swallows, Canaries, Crows. Bantam (after minor pro club nicknames): Pittsburg Hornets, Cleveland Barons, Buffalo Bis- ons, Hershey Bears, etc. Midget (N.H.L. clubs): Black Hawks, Bruins, Leafs, Redwings, etc. The Bantams moving up the next year move up to their par ent clun. In this way, we have a farm system as the pro clubs of today have. For playoffs a parent club may draw the three best club, there make offs, to build up progressively to the "juvenile teams and so on into junior clubs. From time to time I will choose boys to help re feree. Take this opportunity. There is no better way to learn the rules yourself. Play Saturdays •I believe all Pee Wee and Bantam games can be played Saturday mornings and the Wee Wees Saturday afternoons from 1-2 p.m. No forms were given, out for Wee Wees but parents are asked to watch this column for an announcement of the Sat urday we will ask you to bring your budding Richards and Bro- das to the arena to organize them into teams. The midgets will play very likely 5:30 to 6:30 on week days and nothing definite has been decided for the juveniles. The first opportunity you have look around any place of busi ness and your eye is caught up by the gaily colored collection boxes for sponsoring Wee Wee hockey. Dig deeper than deep in your pockets and deposit those few extra coins. The money is nothing compared to the results you will witness on our first "Kids Night”, • All minor league hockey shall be supervised by yours truly and Derry Boyle. To Form Teams At our first organization meet ing a hockey film was shown and the teams shall bo picked, as well as captains, co-captaing, managers and coaches, at our next meeting at the arena Satur day, November 29, at 10 a.m. Any boys who Is handicapped and cannot actively participate in sports is welcome if he Is in terested and cduld perhaps man age a team,. All this hockey Is completed, we an. arena that be proud of. players from their farm So all you boys get in and dig and endeavour to your parent club for play- The whole achievement is e ofdue to • the very fine work your local service clubs—the Lions, Legion and Kinsmen. They are the men who are sponsoring ■this project. Do not despair, girls. Mr. Mic kle of the high school will be conducting a survey to find out how many girls are interested in figure skating. Preliminary ar rangements are not completed as yet but, if all goes well, we will hkve a figure skating club. In my tentative schedule I have al lowed for four hours of figure skating a week. All those public spirited peo ple interested in helping, please give me a call at the arena—- 333. We need coaches for Satur day mornings and for midget •teams through the week. We need goal judges for our inter mediate hockey games. Time keepers, too. Let us know if you are interested. Interested In Curling? Anyone interested in curling? Good. Let’s get together. All you lawn bowlers should be naturals. Grapevine says Carfrey Cann and several others are interested. Fine. We’ll be calling on you. Parents: We want to see you out here in droves. Come out on Saturday mornings and encour age your children. Make the arena your meeting place. Next week we shall endeavour to cover schedules, adult skating clubs, season tickets for public school children and watch close ly for opening date and data. “Nuff said.” Remember; For when the one Great Scorer comes To write against youi- name, He writes not that you won or lost But how you played the game.
