That was t'he burning question which wasn’t answered Thursday night at the booster meeting. Among the suggestions were the district O.H.A. loop, a junior “B” group, and a league inde­ pendent of the W.O.A.A. Final decision on the question was left with the executive of the hockey club but not before it was discussed at length. Cyclone convenor, Derry Boyle, said there would be no Cyclone group next season. District man­ agers had voted against forming the league in the fall. Instead, they would let the W.O.A.A. organize the groupings. “You won’t know who you’ll be playing with next season,” Boyle stated. Join OIIA? Doug Smith, Mohawk captain, ■asked if the club could join OHA ranks. Boyle said Tory Gregg and the W.O.A.A executive wouldn't allow it. Colle Bowman, team coach for most of the season, stated: “I think you should go into O.H.A. Int. “B” hockey with Milverton, Durham and those teams. You’d see better hockey”. Ulric Snell suggested Junior “B” hockey might be cheaper but Al McGillivray said the club's expenses would be doubled if it went into junior hockey. •A number of members suggest­ ed pulling out of the W.O.A.A. and forming an independent league or association. Some sug­ gested that there are at least 20 ■teams which would * quit the W.O.A.A. for-'-another group. Harry Beaumont, genial Lucan Irish manager, predicts the Irish will come home from their 285- mile trip to Marmora this week­ end with the OHA “C” cqp under their belt. The team leaves Friday morn­ ing to play the third and fourth games Friday and Sat u r d a y nights in the eastern Ontario town Now leading two games to none, the Irish can cop the best- of-seven brace of “We’ll Manager day. matched but we’ve got the edge.” However, if Marmora does happen to win one of the week­ end contests the fifth game will be played on neutral ice near Toronto. The next two games, if necessary, will be decided by a toss of the coin. Team At Peak In predicting a clean sweep of the series for the Irish, Harry Beaumont points out the club is right at its peak. “The boys are really playing together like a championship team. They’re play­ ing pattern hockey at its best and their spirit is tops.” Big credit for the team’s out­ standing play-off performance is Jake Barnes. The manager says “Jake is really playing play-off the team extra ef- series with another wins this weekend. take ’em all right,” Beaumont said Wednes- “The teams are evenly Flick rxrl era ” goals each, gave the front line a total of 11 markers. Glen and Fred Revington and Ross Mc- Tavisli scored the other three. Corby Trumble led Marmora With three counters. Uphill Fight Saturday night Lucan had an uphill fight to win the tilt. After being the count at 2-2 in the first. Marmora moved into a 5-4 lead in the second. Halfway through the third th© count was 6-6 for Marmora but the Irish fought to tie and take the game. The winning goal was scored by Ron Stevenson with only 13 sec­ onds left before the final bell. Len Gaudette got four of the Irish total. Ilowett McTavish and Stevenson fired singles. Leonard scored a brace Marmora. for Lead In WOAA Title Series Too Besides fighting for the OHA "C” trophy, Lucan Irish are battling for the W-O.A.A. grand championship title. The greenshirts won the first game of their semi-final series with St. Clemens, the “D” Best Method Colle Bowman suggested the club should operate on a split- the-profit basis. “If you stop paying your players and operate on a split at the end of the season, it wouldn't cost you any money at all.” Club director Harry Coates wanted to know if the * ‘ players would come here basis. Need Jobs Ray Richards, a star year’s club, said he and a lot of other players would play for a split if they could get jobs in Exeter. Jack Weber, who is employing Mohawk defenceman Barry Doak, said “there must be places where we can get jobs for hockey players.” USE THE AMAZING SUDBURY hockey on that of this champions, Tuesday night by the score of 8-6.

Len Gaudette and Herb Stretton, with two Marmora Boosters Back Officials To Build Winning Club Cleaning Spend $1,000 On Sports Need More Enthusiasm “We need more enthusiasm, more members, more support and more interest if our minor ath­ letics program is going to be successful,” Lloyd Cushman, chairman of Exeter Minor Ath­ letic Association, said this week When he called a public meeting for next Thursday night. “Although the Association spends over $1,000 a year to give 200 to 300 boys baseball and hockey, there aren’t more than half a dozen men who know what’s going on. That’s why we •are having this meeting,” Cush­ man said. Th© Association, a subcommit­ tee of the Recreational Council, has - received $1,050 from the three ‘ organizations, Legion, Lions and Kinsmen, to finance all minor hockey and baseball for a year. With the help of the service clubs, the Association tries to provide managers and coaches for the teams, the facilities for playing and the essential equip­ ment. The program is under the direction of Rec Director Doug Smith. The meeting next Thursday night is to acquaint any parents or interested sportsmen with the operation of the Association and to re-organize the group for base­ ball this summer.

Treasurer Harvey Pollen and Chairman Harry Penhale asked the members how to raise the deficit. Although it looked like a tough question for a minute, tile answer easily.

Collector Jack Weber had trouble collecting all the money in one felt hat. came quickly and Bell dug into his $20; the rest foi­ Early start on a hockey team that “will win the league next year" was proposed at the Boost­ er Club meeting Thursday night. Members asked that a coach be appointed soon so that he can organize the team during sum­ mer and fall. They also favored operating on a “split the profits" basis rather than guaranteed pay for players. The meeting re - elected this year's executive and congratulat­ ed the officials for giving Exeter the "best hockey we’ve seen in 30 years," Show Support Support behind the club was indicated when present shelled off this year's Harvey Pollen from Thursday night’s meeting would almost cover all the out­ standing accounts. The Mohawks cost booster members and hockey $6,0'00 this year, the report showed. Over this was spent in which was termed a vestment for future years’’. Major expenses of the season included: coaching $880; players (including meals and transporta­ tion) $3,200; insurance $280; equipment $ 1,2 0 0; advertising .$200. The revenue came from: mem­ bership $1,195; season's tickets $230; home games gate receipts $2,240; blanket draw $176; car draw $1,7'95. Largest Gate The largest gate receipt of the season came from the Forest play-off game which netted $348; second best was the Zurich game, $246. Among the “disappointments” were the exhibition game with U.W.O. which lost $100; the Strathroy game which took in the 70 members out $400 to pay debts. Treasurer said the receipts fans over treasurer’s $1,000 of equipment “good in- only $40 and the St. Marys game which netted only $37. Ulric Snell, honorary president of the club, praised both club of­ ficials and players. “We’ve had wonderful hockey this season. I want to congratulate the execu­ tive for operating the team suc­ cessfully and giving the town the best hockey years.” Amid plimented the too. Blames Gregg Mr. Snell blamed Tory Pregg, W.O.A.A. manager, for prevent­ ing the group finals from being played. He charged that Gregg was entirely wrong in bringing Meaford, a “B” club, into the “A” group playoffs. Mohawks dropped out of the round robin when Meaford was brought in because the two home games with Meaford would have cost the club $2,000, Mr. Snell ■said. Members of the executive are: president W. G.

That was the feeling I realized after last Thursday night's Booster Club get-together at Monetta Menard's. I can’t help but think that with such a group of enthusiastic boosters as we have, we can be assured of a winning team next year. A lot of well - deserved recognition was given to those people who were responsible for' bringing good hockey to Exeter, the people be­ hind the scenes. And as one Booster pointed out, we operated with a profit. Hilts off to our Booster Club and the re-elected executive. Curling Clubs Has our curling enthusiasm melted along with the ice or is this the calm before the storm? Is it possible that a pro-tem executive could be elected to in­ vestigate the pros and cons of this group becoming an active club next winter and to meet with the arena board in regards to cost and playing tiino? I’ll be very happy to help organize and procure stones, if the need for this group being organized is evident and if enough enthus­ iasm is shown. Reorganize Minors The date has been set for a meeting to re-organize our minor athletic association a week from tonight-—Thursday, April 22, at 8:0'0 p.m. at the town hall.
