The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1956-09-27, Page 4By DON “BOOM BOOM" GRAVETT Sports Editor Kinsmen Midgets Keacn uda rinai 1■Oust Port Elgin 6-4 In Rubber MatchSPORTS The first meeting for hoekey clubs in the WOAA was held in WINGHAM bn Monday evening. EIGHT different teams were represented and all were eager to get into the swing of hockey conversa­ tion. It seems that the MAJOR problem confronting ALF LOCKRIDGE and his executive is not what group the boys will play in but trying to get a ruling changed on a bonus player so that none of the teams will feel the effect of a change. Teams that were con­ siderably concerned in the matter were FOREST, GODERICH, LUCAN, MITCHELL, PAISLEY, ILDER- -TON, WALKERTON and EXETER. Last year the 4‘A’1 clubs could carry three waiv­ ers, three imports and a bonus player. The bonus player did not have to live in the town he repre­ sented on the ice. However, this year the O.H.A. has changed the ruling and insists on the bonus player living right in town as do the three imports. The ruling also states that the “A” clubs have until FEBRUARY 10 to sign the bonus player. • GODERICH SAILORS, who had JOHNNY EVANS at the helm, strongly opposed the change of the bonus rule. EXETER MOHAWKS, who had Manager BILL MUSSER and executive members CHARLIE ACHE­ SON and BRUCE BIGGART on hand, felt the change in rule would be immaterial to us. The INTERMEDIATE “B” clubs are the teams that are really kicking on this deal and they should. Other years the “B” clubs were allowed a bonus . player, but now the bonus player is disallowed to their teams. As far as the MAJOR GROUP itself is concerned, there are some new teams who want to. enter.’ MITCHELL was one of the most enthusiastic as they are seriously,thinking of turning from “B” to “A”. If Mitchell does turn, we think it would be a tremendous boost to the whole league in more ways than one. , • Taking a quick look on- the other sicle of- the fence now, we.have “BUCK” KIMBALL of FOREST , who is NOT keenly interested in joining the MAJOR GROUP setup because he feels that EXETER and GODERICH would be too strong for the rest of the league. It would only stand to reason that if Exeter and Goderich were the only “A” clubs in the group­ ing, naturally they would have to be stronger, But if you get enough good “B” teams like Milverton had last year, you would, have a bang-up league no matter how many “A” or “B” clubs were entered.. PAISLEY, a “B” club, will enter a team, if a fair grouping can be organized. To this corner Paisley seems a bit too far for travelling and we know for t fact that Lucan would never do it. LUCAN seems to be an excellent club to have in the league. Travelling distance is short and ’fans who like to follow their team on the road could do so with Lucan and get home in good time. ILDERTON is ready to go wherever Lucan goes. At least, that’s the general opinion received by the Exeter representatives at the meeting. Although nothing is definite,on all the above- mentioned teams, this corner can’t see why a decent league cannot be drawn up between these towns. We would like to see LUCAN, MITCHELL, GODERICH and EXETER as “A” clubs in the MAJOR GROUP and if -some “B” teams still want to come in who are a long distance away like WALKERTON CAPITALS did two years: ago, possibly an interlock­ ing Schedule could be arranged. Whatever is going to happen will be known on OCTOBER 10 as the WOAA has set that date for a schedule to be drawn up in WingKam by the interest­ ed teams. ’ ■ Corunna Ties Up Series After Tigers Corunna Giants, after dropping i A walk in the bottom of the the first gariie of the series, to ninth to lead-off batter Dave Dashwood got back on even'”"" “ 1 J'’ terms in the, return engagement in Corunna on Saturday, after­ noon by squeezing out a 7-6 de­ cision in the bottom half of the ninth inning. Going into the lop of the final frame, the Tigers trailed the Corunna crew by three runs, but with a determined rally they tied the score at 6-6. A total of 22 base hits were seen in the game with the losing Dashwood club collecting an even dozen. All of the Giants blows were of the single variety while the visiting Tigermen pounded out three doubles. Ted Garvin sparked the win-, ners by punching out three sing­ les, to lead his teammates at the plate. Jim Brown, Dave Kil­ breath and pitcher Norm Lock­ ery all had two hits apiece for the Giants. Singles safeties fell to Ray Curran and Bob Lockery. Catcher Jimmy Hayter’s three singles topped the hitting depart­ ment for Dashwood a$ he con­ nected in each of the first, se­ cond and seventh, innings, Dick Regier smashed out his third double of the series for Dashwood in the ninth inning to help spark a three-run rally. Bob Stormes and Rammie Wein were the other two extra base sluggers in the game. Dick Regier, Bob Stormes, Harry Elliott and Rammie Wein all had two base hits in the nine inning affair. The lone single was -picked up by shortstop Ter­ ry Wade. Dashwood came from behind a three run deficit twice in the game to tie things up only to have the Corunna club stage a “do or die effort” rally for more runs. Doubles by Dick Regier and Bob Stormes in the ninth along with Rammie Wein’s single and a walk to Terry Wade produced the three runs needed to tie up the ballgame. :wood needed to cop the victory. | The Tigers scored single tallies i in the first; third and seventh ■ innlngs.- Outfielder Dick Regier carried the bulk of the lumber for the winners as he smashed out a pair of doubles. One of the two- base hits came in the third in- ing after Bob Hayter -and Bob Stormes had reached the bases on a pair of errors committed by third baseman Dave Kilbreath, Don Lumley pitched four balls to Harry Elliott to load the bases and Regier, the next man up, cracked out a clean double for two R.B.I.’s. nrnnnn zn m.z nrn 7 1(u 7 The S6Venth inning had Bob Batteries:’ Sob Stormes, sTb i^n- Hayter standing on second base - --“ and Jim Hayter; Norm after an error by the catcher and Don.

The locals* upset the Port El­ gin Pontiacs 6-4 in a breath-tak­ ing final match of the three-game series, The third game was slated for Llstowel but after an inning and a half went by with the score tied 1-1, hail fell and the game had to be called because of a weather-beaten diamond. The umpires made a couple of quick calls and an hour later the game was resumed on the Atwood baseball diamond where Exeter -finally polished off the pesky, hard-hitting Port Elgin team. The victory may have been a costly one for Exeter as starry catcher Doug Sillery twisted an ankle while trying to beat out an infield hit to the shortstop in the sixth inning, Jim Russell, who started on the mound for Exeter, took over the backstop duties while Fred “Crafty” Hunter looked after the pitching chores for the balance of the hard fought ball game. Centrefielder Allie Rundle, who has been a pleasant surprise to his team officials as far as hit­ ting is concerned, was the only player, on the winning side to pick up two base hits, Rundle singled' in each of the second and fourth frames for a 2-3 after­ noon’s performance at the plate. Tom Mitchell, by far the best all-round performer on the Port Elgin team, Ross Dudgeon and Ray Fenton were the best for the losers as each popped out two safeties to account for six of the seven Pontiac hits. Exeter’s Barry Glover started the game off in Listowel with a long double to right centrefield in- the first ihning for the only extra base blow the Kinsmen- sponsored Midgets got. In the fourth, Doug Sillery re­ ceived credit for one of the more important singles in the game. The ‘stocky catcher tagged a single to score Cy Blommaert from third and the eager Barry Glover all the way from second base. Jim Russell hit a couple of long 300-foot blasts but both curved foul before dropping on­ to the grass. , Two R.B.I.’s went to Ken Jack- son in the third inning as he singled over second base to score Freddy Hunter and Doug Sillery. Hunter and Jim Russell along with Cy Blommaert picked up other single hits’ in the game. Captain Tom Mitchell led off the ninth inning with a double to try to spark a rally for his Port Elgin teammates but he was tagged out at the plate later by Jim Russell who had taken a relay from first baseman Jim Hennessey.

Locals Belt Port 22-4 Although the second game the Midget “C” OBA playoffs had to be shifted to Dashwood because of the wet grounds on- the Exeter diamond, The Exeter Kinsmen Midgets fought off el­ imination by pulverizing the vis­ aing Port Elgin Pontiacs to the tune of 22-4 Saturday afternoon. The victory enabled the Exeter crew to tie up the best of three series at one game apiece after the Pontiacs had salted the first game by a 17-5 score. The Kinsmen Midgets took ad­ vantage of 19 free bases issued by four different Port Elgin hurlers. They were rapped for 13 base hits by a hungry Exeter team. Allie Rundle and Fred Hunter led the winners’ hitting attack by whacking out three singles apiece. Jim Hennessey picked up a timely pair of singles in the early innings to keep the Exeter club within reaching distance of the once-leading Port Elgin club. Shortstop Barry Glover singled in each of the seventh and eighth innings to gain credit for a. two- hit performance at the plate. Single markers fell to Cy Blommaert, Ken Jackson and Jim Russell. Ozzie Harper and right fielder Jerry Baux rapped out a pair of safeties each in a losing cause. Shortstop Tom Armstrong, who came in to pitch in the fifth in­ ning, clouted a double in the sec­ ond for the only,extra base hit of the game. Team Captain Tom Mitchell and Jim Wilson picked up the re; maining two' hits of the seven safeties collected by Port Elgin. Jim Russell fanned six men in the seven frames he toiled while. Fred Huntei' sbnt three back to the bench via the strike­ out route in the final two innings. The Exeter hurlers allowed only two walks. • . Every player on the Exeter team crossed the. plate at least once in’tlie nine inning slaughter.

GCA then goes on to inform the pilot of the amount of bank he should apply while in the turns given to him, and how great a descent he should carry out, in hundreds of feet. When the pilot acknowledges all this,-he is given his first turn to the left onto an easterly head­ ing for his downwind leg. The pilot will advise when he is steady on his heading, and he will then be advised of his. radar position relative to-the field. This is one of several radar position reports that the pilot will receive while he is flying on his down­ wind and base legs. Weather Affects Altimeter While flying on the downwind leg, the pilot is ordered to-main­ tain an altitude Of 2500 feet. He is given the latest weather ijjfor- mation at the base and the latest barometer setting Which' he cor­ rects for on the altimeter in the aircraft. Barometric pressure af­ fects an altimeter, and if the in­ correct pressure is set up on it, it will Cause the altimeter to read either high of low. As the altimeter is the only means of establishing height above sea level that the pilot has while he is flying in cloud, it is of the- ut­ most importance that the cor­ rect settings are upon it. The down-wind leg at Aylmer finds the pilot flying parallel with the shore of Lake Eric, and carries him some two miles south of the town of Aylmer. He ■flics over the rich farming and tobacco country of this region for a distance of some seven or eight miles before commencing his next leg. , Over the little town of Straf- fordville, the pilot receives his instructions to turn onto a north­ erly heading for his base leg. At the same time as he com­ mences his turn, he starts his descent to 2,000 feet, which is the altitude at which GCA requires him to intercept the glide path.

He does not start to descend until he is told to do so. Four miles from touch-down the aircraft intercepts the glide path and the controller advises the pilot to commence his ini­ tial rate of • descent" at 500 feet per minute. Five hundred feet is the • 'standard rate of descent, which if it is maintaind con­ stantly, should bring the aircraft right onto the runway, In the aircraft tthere is an instrument referred to as the Vortical Speed Indicator which, indicates the Tate in hundreds of feet per min­ ute at which the aircraft is climbing or descending. When pilot receives his orders to begin descending, he adjusts his en­ gine power settings so that the aircraft will start to lose altitude at the required rate. Pilot Takes Over Visually Working thus, the pilot is brought to the point where he is one mile from touch-dbwn. When this point is reached, the controller advises the pilot that he, is passing through the GCA normal limits. Frdm here further corrected steers are given which' bring the aircraft finally to a position over the end of the runway and some 50 ^eet above it-. The pilpt is then -advised that he is over the end of the run­ way, to. take over visually to carry out his landing. In the case of a. real 'run’ pilot would then complete landing, express his relief appreciation at length, taxi aircraft in, shut down and head for the nearest cup of coffee. However, in the case of the pilots from Centralia where the control­ ler informs them that they are over the end' of the runway, they open the throttle and climb away to commence another tun immediately. An average day flying will see the complettion of 20 runs by each pilot before be returns to Centralia. One particular mem­ ber of the GCA Flight has logged more than 2,500 such runs in less than two years. This .is a lot of flying. where the controller will change from the position screen to the more precise on course and glide path screen, Once the pilot has completed, his descent tb 2,000, he is given a further turn to the left onto a heading which will bring him ■ onto the onwill bring course. . New Set Of Instructions At this point, a new emergency instructions ... sued Jo the pilot. He is warned that if lie receives no communi­ cation from the GCA unit for any period of longer than five se­ conds, he is to break off the ap­ proach! He has now reached the point from where he will be talk­ ed down to the ground with a constant flow of instructions, cor­ rections .and words of encoura­ gement from the controller. The pilot is .advised that there is no longer ariy necessity for him to acknowledge transmis­ sions while on his final approach. The GCA controller intends to maintain a running commen­ tary of instructions, while the pilot is left free to concentrate entirely on the handling of his aircraft. The first of a continuous scries of corrected headings to steer is given to the pilot. During the final approach, these head­ ings will sometimes be corrected by as little as two degrees. i Usually, the aircraft is about six to seven miles away from the touch down by the time that he is lined up for his final ap­ proach. Flying at 2,000 feet, ’the aircraft will intercept the glide: path at the four mile mark, The controller advises the pilot that he is seven miles from touch down, four miles from the glide path. He gives the pilot course corrections, should they be ne­ cessary, or else advises him that he is on course and to maintain his heading. As the aircraft ap­ proaches the glide path, he is advised that he is now five miles from touch-down, one mile from the glide path and is warned to stand by to commence his initial rate of descent. Up until the time that the air­craft intercepts the glidepath, I set is of is- and the lus aijd his
