Let's Talk
iMohawks Join Senior ’B' Loop,
To Start Schedule Next Week
A new RECREATION DIRECTOR and ASSIST
ANT ARENA MANAGER has started to work in this
municipality this week. He is 21-year-old LARRY
: HEIDEMAN and he hails from the city of Kitchener.
To most people in this community Larry is
probably better known if you associate his name
■ with hockey and the EXETER MOHAWKS as he
starred on the front line for the tribe in last year’s
All-Ontario championship drive. Many fans have got
to like the tall 6*2”, 175-pound centre from hjs
hockey playing. abilities and hjs actions on and off
the ice while others may not have had the opportun
ity of meeting him.
There is no need for alarm when you do rtm
across him as HEIDI and I have been liigp school
buddies for four years and in the same rooms to
gether and I considei* the lanky fella as one of my
very best friends,
Back in Kitchener, LARRY HEIDEMAN and I
travelled up the hockey ladder togethei* along with
.another Exeter Mohawk by the name of BILL
WHARNSBY and over'the period of years neither
of us can truthfully say that we didn’t think highly
of each other.
We first met in BANTAM hockey and from
there we climbed up through MIDGET “A”, JUVE
NILE “A” and JUNIOR together and on into the
class of hockey that you fans have seen us play.
I am happy to have LARRY move into. EXETER
and take over the RECREATION- JOB as I know,
like everyone else who has dealt with him, full co
operation is in store for anybody who needs it.
Before Larry packed his bags to leave his KIT
CHENER home to move up here-, he was employed '
by the SUNSHINE WATERLOO COMPANY where
they make everything from office equipment to
roller skates. Ever since graduation day came from
the KITCHENER-WATERLOO COLLEGIATE AND
VOCATIONAL SCHOOL, Heidi has been employed
there, which would, cover about three and a half •
years.
■ Mr. Heideman has unpacked his bags over at
MRS. LEO HENNESSEY’S and from all reports looks
to have found himself an A-l boarding house.
This Saturday morning Larry will be supervis
ing practise sessions for all minor hockey league
teams in their respective age groups, gome assistance
will be received from HURON PARK to handle the
large number of kids eager to learn the game.
One week from Saturday, he will have the minor
hockey in full swing as all the teams will be play
ing regular games by then. One week from Wednes
day “TEEN TIME" will get started with Heideman
at the helm, so you can see that the Kitchener lad
is faking his j6b very serious and will do pis best
to please everyone.
A small writeup on the events that have taken*
place and on future happenings will appear each
week in the paper and ■•-will be written by Larry.
We want to wish “HEIDIE" the best of luck on
his new job and hope that everyone gives him a good
chance to learn his duties thoroughly as a RECREA
TIONAL DIRECTOR and an ASSISTANT ARENA
MANAGER.

EXETER MOHAWKS—As you. no doubt have
read by this time on another section of the sports
page, the Exeter Mohawks have gone into the
SENIOR “B” LEAGUE OF THE O.H.A. The tribe has
•taken a°big step and whether we are worthy of it or * .
Hot remains to be seen. However, if we can get the
players we’re after (and some we have) we should
give the majority of the teams in the league a good
run for their money. We would like all of you Ex
eter fans to stick with us through this season as
there is bound to be some pretty high class hockey
played. * ’ . • ‘
Usually sports writers and announcers stick
their necks out in trying to forecast how the teams
will finish up when the hockey schedule is all wound
up at the end of the season. However, I have nailed
i the
REC DIRECTOR TAKES POST—Larry Heideman, Mohawk
scoring ace, took over his duties this week as recreation
'director for Exeter. He’s seen discussing the program
with Alvin Willert, new arena manager.’, Organizing the
minor hockey leagues was one of the first jobs the two
men tackled together. -r-T-A Photo

In District Centres
' Zurich, Hensall and Lucan are
making plans for their inter
mediate and minor hockey teams
for the 1956-57 season,
Over in Zurich, an interm edi ate ‘homebrew” club is definitely
planned, but officials are un
decided as to whether they
should enter a team in the “B”
or “C” classification.
If the Zurich Flyers enter the
“B” grouping, two waivers and
two imports can be picked up,
but in the “C” company, only
two of either one or one of each
can be secured.
Trying out between the pipes
for Zurich will be Dick McFalls.

only other 700 triple Of the week.
In one of the closest games
of the young bowling season, the
Pinpoppers took a 4-3 decision

Exeter Mohawks have joined
the O.H.A Senior “B” ranks this
season.
For the first time in its his
tory, the .Exeter team has brok
en its affiliation with the West
ern Ontario Athletic Association
and has joined forces with the
Ontario Hockey Association,
Sheriff Nelsoii Hill, president
of the WOAA, gave his consent
to Bill Hanley, secretary of the
O.H.A., for the necessary waiv
er to move the tribe into the
O.H.A. at recent meeting held
in Toronto.
Mohawks are the second in
termediate “A” club to jump
from the WOAA to Senior “B”
this season. Strathroy Rockets
made a similar move earlier in
the fall.
The 1955-56 Intermediate “A”
WOAA champions would have
liked to stay in “A" company
for another year because the
booster club felt this could be
the year for an All-Ontario title.
However, lack of competition
forced the tribe to move up.
A' public .meeting took place
in the Exeter town hall a week
ago do find out what Exeter
fans wanted this winter. About
35 attended the meeting and en-
Seven Teams
In B' League
Exeter Mohawks, who .have
graduated into Senior “B” ranks
of the O.H.A. for the first time
in the history of the town, have
.been classed with six other
teams to form a seven team
league.
Wallaceburg, Strathroy, Sar
nia, London, St. -Thomas and
Woodstock are the six other
teams the Mohawks will com
pete against during the 1956-57
hockey season.
Although the actual schedule
is under way, the Exeter club
will probably not see action un
til next week.
Wallaceburg Hornets opened
the season in fine style in their
own rink on Monday night by
posting a 6-3 triumph over the
highly-rated Woodstock Athlet
ics.
On Tuesday, night the new
Strathroy Rockets tripped Keith
Kewley’s St. Thomas Royals
right in St. Thomas by' a 5-3
scorp. The game was a penalty-
studded affair with* no less than
22 players being sent to the sin
bin.
In the only other action to
date, Sarnia GV’s polished off
the London Briggs for their in
itial win of the young season.
Sarnia pumped four big. goals
home in the seco.nd period
rap up an 8-4 victory.up an 8-4 victory.

In Tight Race
The Alley Cats, Jolly Jills and
the Btisy Bees all made clean
seven-point sweeps in bowling
last week.
The Alley Cats’ seven-point
splurge pushed then! into a tie
for third place with .the Busy
Bees, and only one point off the
league leaders.
The Merry Maids and the
Happy Gals are deadlocked in
first place with 27 points apiece.
The high ''single award this
week went to Doreen Tiernan, of
the “red hot” Hot Dogs, who
rolled a neat 252 game.
Grace.. Farquhar’s 622 triple
was tops in that department aS
she helped her team, the Merry
Maids, pick up five points.
Other 600 or over triples were
turned in by Eileen Bonnallie, of
the.Merry Maids. 611, and Mary
Gurin, Of the Lollipops, 610.
Cup and saucer winners for

thusiastically endorsed the move
into Senior “B”.
Since then some of the play
ers, who had already inked con
tracts, and the hard-working
booster club officials set out on
a hunt for more hockey talent.
At this late date it is particu
larly hard to find players of
Senior “B" calibre but Mohawks
have been fortunate.
Practice sessions have been
held regularly two nights a week
and on Sunday afternoons to. get
everyone in playing shape for
the opening game. The schedule should’ open for the Mohawks
next week at the latest.
The good news so far is that
the team has announced the
signing of seventeen players
and more help is on the way.
Players who have signed to
wear the Mohawk uniform this
year are:
JIM “RED” LOADER—Coach
ing for his second' full season.
Piloted the tribe to the Ontario
semi-finals . last year against
“Bucko’’ MacDonald’s Sundridge
Beavers. ‘Always a hard worker,
“Red" was the second highest
of the Mohawk scorers last year
as he picked up 18 goals and 47
assists for 65 points.
DOUG THIEL—Voted the best
coach in the WOAA Major Group
last year, Was also chosen best
left defenceman in the league
as he coached the Milverton
Dominion Royals into a second
place tie in the final league
standings,
TED* LACEY—An px-Waterloo
Sisken of four years ago. Play
ed hockey for the Paisley Pirates
of the Scottish Hockey League
in Paisley, Scotland, last year
under Keith Kewley now coach
ing the St. Thomas Senior'“B”
entry. Two years before he went
overseas Ted starred with El
mira Polar Kings.
JACK DWYER—The big blue-
line buster from Stratford. Jack,
although a little slow on his
skates, brought the WOAA title
to Exeter* in the final series as
he bounced the life out of the
Goderich Sailors. Jack also has
a terrific slap-shot that keeps
the goalie's alert.
LARRY HEIDEMAN—A 49-
goal man for the tribe last- year.
Larry also picked Up 23 assists
to- lead the Mohawk team in
points .and to end up third in
the five-team league scoring
race; The lorig reach of Larry’s
will provide several anxious
moments for the visiting goal
tenders at the local arena.
BILL WHARNSBY—A hard
working Kitchener product who
this, year has taken over centre
ice duties, Bill was fourth on trig
tribe scoring list last year with
53 points in 30 games. An ex
ceptionally good offensive and
defensive .player. Always comes
up with a good crowd-pleasing
game.
BILL FOSTER—An 18-year-old
Wingham product who now is
living in Hensall. This is Bill’s
first year with. Exeter. William
plays football tfor SHDHS and
should be a valuable asset to
“Red” before the season is over.
BILL - OBERLE—This left
winger compiled 59 points last
year for the tribe in their vic
tory march. “Obie” bulged the
twine 35 times over a 24 game
appearance last, year. Goaltend
ers will have theix’ headaches
when Bill’s flying.
GAR BAKER—The No. 1 goal
tender in the WOAA Int. “A”
last season. Gar looks excep
tionally sharp this year and is
looking forward to a good sea-
.son. He is a married school
teacher and lives on Main St.
MARV SHANTZ—Top scorer
on the Seaforth Baldwins last
year (the Baldwins are a Junior
“B” entry in the O.H.A.). Marv
patrols left wing, has a hard
shot and is a rugged performer.
BILL HAYWARD—“Bashing
Bill” is a welcome defenceman
to the tribe. Will had a short
stint two years ago with Exeter
and when he was going well he
had to quit. However this year
the fans should be entertained
to the “rock ’n roll” blueline
checking. With his effective hit
ting, he’s bound to slow up the
opposition.
BILL FRANKLYN—Another
top grade blueliner who shows
plenty of experience, Bill-1 has
played for the Valleyfield Braves'
in recent years* A calm perform
er at all- times, he ’should bol
ster the defensive setup consid
erably.
GLEN WEISE-—Back for his
second straight season, Known
as “Rocky” to his'fans, he does
n’t let the opposition get much
leaway once they cross the blue
line despite his size. Glen was
top scoring defenceman for the
tribe last year with 6 goals and
15 assists.
PETE ELLIS—Comes to the
team from the airport. Played
part of a season with Exeter
two years ago and had to quit.
His teamplay will, be of
value to the club.
EARL BARTON-Aaother Bob
Goldham. Blocks as many shots
sometimes as the goaltender,
Always rough and ready, keeps
the opposition with their heads
up at all times.
These are most of the players
signed -by the Exeter Booster
Club in hopes that A-l hockey
will be seen in this community
this winter.

School Panthers captured the
newly-formed Perthex Confer
ence Football League champion
ship on October 31 by handing
Palmerston High a 29-0 shellack
ing right on their own gridiron.
Despite jumping from “B" to
the “A” grouping and losing 10
of last year’s regulars who car
ried the team to the WOSSA “B”
finals, Coach Glenn Mickle
piloted his dub to a clean sweep
of tin five games in the regular
season’s schedule.
The final game that brought
the Perthex title to Exeter fea-
passes into the outstretched arms
of Bev SffirglS anchclimaxed his
pitching performance with an
other pass to Bick McCutcheon
in the end zone for a six-point
major.
Jules Dcsjardino scoffed ths
final Panther touchdown of the
game. ,Ted Smith converted three of
the/four majors and also' booted
.a single with a punt that carried
out of the Palmerston And,.zone.
During the season, Panthers
registered four of their five wins
by the shutout route.
