Ontario Hockey Association,
at a special meeting in London
Tuesday night, officially wel
comed Exeter Mohawks into
Senior “B” ranks and sanctioned
..its roster for the coming season,
Booster Club President, W. G.
Cochrane and Manager Bruce
Biggart said they received an
excellent reception at their first
meeting-of the provincial organ
ization and • expressed "complete
satisfaction’’ with the decisions
made. *
The club received approval
from O.H.A. officials to use three
players about which question had
arisen, Bill McDonald, who lives
near London, was authorized to
play fox' Mohawks and Earl Bar
ton and Marv Shantz, who signed
certificates with Strathroy Rock
ets as well as Exeter, were clear
ed for play here.
President W. G. Cochrane said
officials of other teams in the
loop expect Mohawks to be a top
contender in their first year in
the loop. "They consider us to
be a real threat," the prexy said,
.Woodstock Athletics, favored
to win the league, will find out
Saturday night when they meet
Mohawks in the opener here.
Withdrawal of London .Briggs,,
announced at Tuesday’s meeting,
shakes, up the league for the
second time. .
Lyle Mercer, Brigg’s backer,
pulled out because of lack of
fan support and players. He ac
cused Strathroy Rockets of raid
ing Brigg’s territory for players
but O.H.A. officials ruled the
Rockets had not violated regu-
lattons.
Three teams are tied for top
spot in the league with, eight
games played. Sarnia, Strathroy
and Wallaceburg have each won
two games and lost one. Wood-
stock and St, Thomas, who pull
ed an upset over Woodstock
Tuesday night, have one victory
each.
Mohawk officials expressed
pleasant surprise with the meth
od by which the O.H.A. conduct
ed its business. Unlike the
W.O.A.A, , where wrangles con
tinue until the early hours of
the morning, the Ontario group
reached decisions quickly and
held rigidly to the rules in the
book.
