THE -EXETER TIMES -ADVOCATE
AND RECR TION
By »euQ STH
Biggest news in the sports 4e-
pertment this week is the •honour,
brought to Exeter by our young-
est organized group -.-our Bee
Wee All -Stars.
Officials at ,Goderich had n0-
thing but praise for the .pluck),
hand of puoksters and With a.
little more weight on the team
we would have been finalists in-
stead of semi-finalists.
I think the greatest tribute we
can give these lads and one that
has definite bearing on the fu-
ture
uture Is the fact they are easy to
handle, eager to learn, well dis-
ciplined and already they posses$
a high degree of sportsmanship.
For instance, after tieing Sea -
forth and winning by most shots
on goal, one player was heard to
remark after being congratulated
by others in the 'room; "1
wouldn't have got that goal If
Bobby hadn't given me that pass."
On behalf of the team I would
like to say thanks to Red Loader
for a job well done; also Alvin
Wiliert, Lloyd Cushman, Eldon
Heywood and the other interested
Parents who drove and gave their
time to making this tournament
successful, To the players: it is
quite an honour to be semi-final-
ists in an all -Canada tqurnainent,.'
especially with so many other
teams in your group.
One way the people of Exeter
�
can honour this group is by show-
ing genuine interest by coming,
forth and offering help in coach-
ing, managing and other small
ways that are so necessary in de-
veloping the type of boys and girls
we can all be proud of.
Minor Bowling Tournament
There Is always room for im-
provement. 'Our minor bowling
tournament during the Christmas
holidays was fun but the interest
faded quickly 'because of the dif-
ference in age groups and,ability.
Individual prizes were given for
high single, high double, 'etc. and
consequently the younger child-
ren did not have a fair chance.
For the Easter`"tournament it
was decided to have team com-
petition with a • prize for each
member of the winning team.
Every •child bowled his or her
best for their team instead of
themselves and 'the interest held
throughout.
Peter McPalis' team won both
tournaments in which close to 40
children played. Thanks to Ross
Tuckey for his donation of prizes
and to the Francois' for their big
help.
Sailboat Contest
A beautiful afternoon, Ideal
sailing weather, a crowd of close
to 100 children and a few parents
gathered along with one lone con-
testant for the sailboat contest
Wednesday afternoon in ' River-
view Park.
'Brian Hall, the only entry, had
a field day with the antics of his
boat and kept the crowd en-
thralled with its manoeuvres.
Starting from the east shore it
dipped and wended its way in a
circle back to shore. Trying from
the south shore it acted like a
boomerang Once again. The third
effort was successful and the
crowd gave a big hand to the
skipper and his boat. Exeter Kins-
men Club donated the prize — a
beautiful sailboat kit of 1LM,C.S.
Bounty, Next year a larger entry
is assured. -,
Our thanks to Mr. Arthur Idle,
public school 'principal, along
with Mrs. H. Mooney, who con-
ducted and supervised a program
of films Thursday morning for a
group of 117 children as part of
our Easter holiday • program.
Wildlife, comedy and care of
animal shorts Were very suitable
for the occasion.
Basketball
A pleasant and unexpected in-
novation resulted during the holi-
days
olmdays when I found the basketball
hoops and with the aid of the
older boys put them up in the
gym at the arena. It took five
minutes to get a game underway
and two days tS get rid of the
aches and pains:
Roller Skating
The lee :has disappeared from
the arena and Alvin Willett has
the floor washed and cleaned.
Roller skating will get under way
as soon as the frost comes out of
the floor. This should be within
the next two weeks. Watch The
Tinles-Advocate for official no-
tide,
Baseball
A •grbup of prospective Mo-
hawk players took to the dia-
mond on Sunday and ran through
a warm-up period, working into
baiting; fielding, and throwing
drills under Sim Fairbairn., Dope
the local baseball Czars are con-
templating
ontemplating 'using 'as much local
talent as possible this year. • A
lot of good baseball potential i'n
this area,
