Saturday night as the first EXETER SENIOR “B” TEAM will take to the ice. The powerful Woodstock Athletics will provide the opposition in a game which should create plenty of a'ction. BILL WALSH, former coach of the GODERICH ■ SAILORS and EX-SENIOR “A” player with the STRATFORD INDIANS, is one of the ATHLETICS’ top blueline performers. A large contingency of players has been work ing out at local practices and Coach JIM “RED” LOADER has his hands full in picking a team. ‘ No less than 22 hopefuls were on hand for last Sunday’s workout. Four forward lines, eight defence men and two goaltenders engaged in a two-and-a half hour drill. The drills have been consisting of stops and starts; skating backwards and frontwards; pushups at 1 ■ sessions. ED ZU- the first centre ice; shooting practise and scrimmage A new hockey player by the name of . KIWSKY (a real Scotchman?) came out for time on Tuesday night. : ED says that he was over in the LA for four years where;.he and a companion from MONTREAL coached some DUTCH HOCKEY TEAMS. It seems that he and his friend were hired as CANADIAN COACHES to teach young DUTCH boys to play Canada’s National Game. As there wasn’t any kind of a league formed' for the Dutch hockey players to participate in, a long .series of exhibition games were ^played which in cluded games' against RUSSIA, FRANCE, etc. ED ZUKIWSKY is a leftwinger, although he has played pretty well every position at one time or another. He tips the scales at 225 pounds and at the mojnent admits that he’s well overweight. On his first appearance on the ice in Exeter, he -Rave an impressive performance. BILL COCHRANE and BRUCE BIGGART, both ' hard-working members of the EXETER MOHAWK . HOCKEY CLUB, are breathing a sigh of relief. , The pair attended an O.H.A. meeting in LON DON on Tuesday night and received excellent co operation. The ■ O.H.A. put BILL MacDONALD, EARL BARTON and MARV SHANTZ as property of the EXETER MOHAWKS, so now “RED” LOADER you can get some sleep! ■' •. Both COCHRANE and BIGGART were pleased with-the way the O.H.A. operated things—not just because players were granted to us, but because of the prompt decisions that are’ made and carried out. It’s quite a change from the W.O.A.A. * .* * ■ • * • ★ * * FOOTBALL BOUNCES—South Huron District • High School Panthers need only one more win to capture the* SENIOR “A” WOSSA FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP. The Panthers haven’t lost a game all year and every time out they look more impress ive. .. ’ A hard-hitting defensive line stood out like black magic for SHDHS in WOODSTOCK, The Wood- stock fans could hardly believe that their highly- ' • rated RED DEVILS were getting defeated. The success of the team must lie in Coach GLENN MICKLE’S fiery red hat. What do you think fellas? ' After the win the players hoisted their huskily built coach to their shoulders and carried him around the' players bench. With team ’spirit such -as this, how can a team lose? Now on to • the Rose Bowl ‘classic o‘r is' it the Purple Bowl? "k k ★ HOCKEY SELECTION CORRECTION — • VRED” ' SCOTT wanted us to let you hockey fans in on his final choice as to how the Senior “B” standings were going to wind up. In his selection we had Exeter fifth and out of the playoff but “Red” wanted us to make it known that it would be a tight battle between’ Exeter and Sarnia CV’s for that spot. Thanks tied. ROSS TUCKEY did a very nice thing for EX ETER KINSMEN MIDGETS while in DETROIT re cently. He purchased out of his own pocket two base balls covered with Detroit Tiger autographs and held a draw for them at the banquet. The winners were ALLIE RUNDLE and ELMER INCE and oddly enough these are the only two players that are over age for Midget next year. 'VAN PATRICK, the'Detroit sports announcer, sent along autographed post cards of himself for each player. . Besides all this, JACK WEBER AND FAMILY donated a silver dollar to each player to round out a splendid evening for a fine bunch of young athletes. The 1956-57 edition of the Exeter Mohawks will make its first appearance of the season in Senior “B” ranks at home Saturday, November 17, against Woodstock Athletics.
