Bob Nicol tossed 1207 (31'9) foi’ five games to pace the Exetei’ team, followed closely by Ken Hockey with 1206 (-271) and Art Trites with 1158 (25S).

The boys felt that it was their business and should not have .been -published in such a critical manner, - My own opinion, when I took ovex’ the club was season and what fore was not my’business but there was a lot of feeling and (I believe part of it was justified) that everyone was against us. (2) The ' ~ " have had ports, and reports on words, the A reporter’s job is to my mind to -give a factual .review of the game, not a personal opinion, which can be very biased by his or her opinion of the player or. players or executive of. a club, As a matter of fact, it has been very hard on our club. (3) And the last reason can be divided in two. The first is every team’ will have a bad year. The other clubs in the group were stronger and, our own boys are ibound to have a let down, that’s human nature. The biggest reason .of all is the fact that these fellows fox’ the most part were given the old run-around by the arena com­ mission when they were young and were left to drift fox’ them­ selves in a hockey way. The whole thought of tlxe coxnmlssion at that time’ was the as a result they picked of bad hockey habits. ’Which brings us to reason for the failure of club, the coach. If I had well enough alone and let fellows play the type of hockey they were used to playing, and not tried to xnake them play jmy way, things xnight have been better, and maybe your column would have been less critical and would not have killed the desire to helix keep hockey going in Exeter. Personally I have lxad enough. First I jinxed a balixplub in 1948 and now a .hockey clhb in 1949- 510. Unless there are some other fellows willing to boost the club, it is a dead issue, as most of this year’s gang feel tlxe same way. So without ill will to anyone I close this my obituary to sport of all kinds. I Remain Yours Truly, C. E.

Mr. Harry Schwartz was again appointed as the Club’s , repre­ sentative. to the Exeter .Com­ munity Park Board.

When a club plays an indifferent hockey game why tell the public it looked like a million dollars. That we think would be dipping the brush in .the wrong colour. Possibly our accounts have been' too factual? As for individual grudges we just haven't got them Derry. And as for the lack of reports we can only say sorry. Reporting- isn’t our job” on The Times- Advocate. It’s an after-hour ef­ fort from which there is no fin­ ancial gain. We took it up sev­ eral years ago to help promote sport. Therefore it becomes quite a task to take in the away from home games, too. At that we are able to help in putting out more sports in the paper than the majority friends carry. Point three more merit, teams have improved. Exeter has led the way during- the past few seasons and with no younger talent coming along our picture doesn’t look too bright. But why- say they would pick up a lot of bad hockey habits from the force?

Red Clover has proved itself to be a more de­ pendable catch. Red Clover will cost less than half the cost of Sweet Clover to seed the same acreage. Red Clover cannot be improved upon as a land builder. Red Clover when ploughed under does not cause the soil to dry out to the same extent as Sweet Clover. Red Clover always producing a crop of Special Offer Limited quantity of provides the possibility of seed. * Limited quantity of Canadian Grown Red Clover being sold under cost, few days only.

Congrats, AVOSSA Cliamps Exeter claimed its first WOSSA basketball victory over the Week-end and they did it in. convincing fashion by winning both the senior boys’ and girls’ crown. The high school has had its eye on these laurels for the past few seasons but until this year they have eluded them. Now the victory is theirs and they are justly right in gobbling is up. • To coaches Glenn Mickle and Miss Seignor and their teams we say congratulations on a job Well done, Let’s Make It A Triple Victory With two basketball champion­ ships to our credit can the local Maroons make it a triple vic­ tory? It will be an outstanding feat if the juniors can win the all-Ontario crown. They play in Brampton this Wednesday and as yet the return date is in­ definite. * Wlmt, A Battle J With the setup slightly differ­ ent this year’s NHL playoffs arg going to have added interest The Leafs are meeting the Red Wings in the first round, it adds np to a battle royal. The big question will be whether the victor will have any fight left after the series is over* Dewy Boils And Stoop’s In Hot Water If you noticed that pained ex­ pression on our pan the past few days you’ll unedrstand after reading the kick in the pants we absorbed Jxx a letter received last week. It is published elsewhere on this page! Nevertheless, we appreciate Derry’s frankness in the matter, it’s much better that way than to hear it from behind your back. However, we are not going to let this epistle go unchal- lenged. It just isn’t oux’ nature not to kick and besides we don’t write sports fox* the sole purpose of catering to any club but for the purpose of giving sport fans a picture of what is happening in oui’ district. In the first place Derry men­ tions our blast of last week but the fact remains that the Club put over a deal on the sporting public foi’ which there was no reason and the letter fails to elaborate or apologise for this. We don’t know whose fault it was, certainly not the chaps who turned up to play, but when an organization advertises an event and then fails to produce a com­ plete lineup we tlieii think that they have been unfaithful to John Public. And if We are to fulfill our responsibility we can’t overlook it. Then, too* strongly with the financial business but the club’s. In most small towns hockey and baseball teams are community projects and as is the case in all sports are supported by tile fans. Shouldn’t then the people who pay the freight know where it is going? Aren’t We then justi­ fied in expressing our opinion if we think things aren’t as they should be? We do if everything is going along nicely , * . why be biased if they aren't? We don’t expect everyone to agree with us. It wouldn’t be right it they did. If point number two is correct We better hang our’ head in shame if this refers to the ac­ tual accounts of the game. Take pity on us Derry! We always had a heck of a time making the pass mark in English and when it comes to firing the ima­ gination to paint a rosy picture we disagree very the statement that aspect is no one’s 4)
