By DON "BOOM BOOM" GRAN/OTT
Sports Editor
FineI1Y -another hocker. season has arrived!
With. November 23 as the opening date for the cross-
ing of sticks and claShing, of skates in the • Exeter
arena, it 'brings to our mind that this is the latest
starting date for a hockey club yours truly has
played on in some time. Last year, the tribe was
well under way in early November. To top, it off,
even though we haven't started, we are still behind
former teams in ,getting into. condition.
Not having played any exhibition games before
the season's opener may hurt the Mohawk chances
of delivering a solid performance. Meeting BLACK -
WELL, a high class intermediate "Xi", team in the
first game will be a tough 'assignment for the tribe.
However, we're discardingthe. c,rying •towel to pass
on the information that all of This year's Mohawks
dressed for the game will do their BEST to pick up
two points in front of their home town fans,
FRANK ALPOUGH, business manager -of the
BLACKWELL CLUB, tells us he, still hasn't found
.a rink to play. home games in. Just to show how
much some real athletes want to play the game,
Ilderton offered at a meeting in CLINTON recently
to .try to get the HENSALL arena to book them.
This might• not seem like much but when you take a
look at where Blackwell is, you have to admire them
for their enthusiasm, Blackwell is near POINT ED-
WARD.
Some of the happenings that take place at,
hockey meetings sound like a bunch of tWo-year-old
kids fighting over a popgun. Everyone in this league
seems to be worrying about the EXETER MOHAWKS
being so strong. At the Clinton meeting, FOREST„•
who is going INTERMEDIATE "B" to get four im-
ports. on the club, was tossing words around that
Exeter had such a powerful hornebrew club .they
didn't know what they were going to do. •Well, I'll
bet my bottom dollar that Forest comes ,up with a
smoothly balanced club that won't have to take a
back seat from anyone this year, least of All a home-
brew entry!
• Personally, I believe that our club has a lot
of rebuilding to do. Experience is the largest prob-
lem facing the tribe. Yes, we have five players with
the needed experience but five'inen can't win enough
hockey games. Before the season is out, I'm sure
any,:title hopes that our team may have will be rest-
ing right in the hands of the local kids on the club.
If.they learn to act .quickly, think and pass effective-
ly', before ,this short 16 -game, schedule runs, out,, then
we're in. But if they .can't,. do it then they will have
that, much more experience for another winter. I'm
sure all of the 'players will be gibing all they have
when on the' ice for; the town of Exeter, so it's my
sincere wish that the good citizens of this town
support them, as often as they can.
Things have really been rolling along smooth-
ly on the BOOSTER SEAT setup for this winter. You!.
might say that 99 percent of ,last year's boosters ap-
proached purchased their seats again. The only draw-
back to the club's plans is the lack of time .to get.

over LONDON LORDS lookedlike a! nal. battle but
when you glance at the statistics, London may as
well have been out en the golf course, This year,
marks the fourthin • succession that the Dtitchies
have wonthe title which, we might add, is about
two too many to keep Any league happy. However,
with the $70,000 that is reported to have been spent
by London to' get a winner, who would give any'

DYNAMOS will play the WHITBY. DUNLOPS at
Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. It marks the first
time that .Russia has let her hockey team play in
this country, to our knowledge . at least. Incidentally,
the game will be televised over London. It should
be quite interesting to see the world's most power-.

that the CBC connections don't go haywire when
the game, is scheduled to come on.

A HUNTING WE WILL GO -GO -G0= -Plenty of
BIG game hunters from -this area are out tramping
'the woods these days in the north lands as the
season is on and the game is reported to. be plenti-
ful. 'One of the basic rules of hunting was given to
Id and we'd like to pass it on withan illustration.
An Egeter- four -man expedition just returned
from the woody north with two moose and 'a deer..
At all times a hunter must be ready •to' fire. But
•
what? We are told that one Of the BIG GAME
hunters had mother nature call on him, out ,in the
•
middle of nowhere: While visiting her he spotted a
'deer prancing by, What did he do? You guessed it!'
He lost .his pants in the chase but he' hit'his' target.
So remember, always .be prepared for action n6
matter what position you're in!, (Name •upon request.)

SH Girls Threaten Champs
In WOSSA. Tournament
Pletity of excitement prevailed
in the University Of Western On-
tario's Thames Hall, last Satur-
day as teams from all over West-
ern Ontario did their utmost to
ebhrianmgpititioghieria WOSSA volleyball
In the' midst of it all, South
Huron District High School Jun-
iors, champions of the Perthex
Conference Volleyball League,
ran astray in their title bid man-
aging to grab only one Win in
three tries.
In the morning, Sbilth Huron
dropped a 26-20 decision to Lea-
mington, In a pair of afternoon
enetulterS,.they came out on the
short end of a 24-20 game with
Clarke Road Collegiate but then
.managed to trip Tillsonburg ,32-
24 in the nightcap.
Despite the fact that the locals
Won only One gaine,they
lngtin ini-
tial start with Leamingttin, who
eventually copped the WOSSA
Junior "A" title with three Wins,
Leamington, who possessed the
tallest junior girls' team in the
totirnaMent, wasted little time in
getting started as they led a
Shaky ,started
Hiltonteam 16-5
when the hall time whittle went.
At this stage of the opening con.
test,, it looked as though itWould
be ,Just a matter of how many
points the More experiented Lea-
mingtOti squad Was going to pild
up before the game ended,
However,. Coedit Miss L. Seim,
her sent a determined South
Ituron Wnt onto the fleet for
the last half 'of the game. Within
the first feW minutes, some very
skillful serving cut the Leaming-
ton lead to 16-10.
At thrbelquatter time, Leant-
Ington held a 2145 edge but the
gap watt hatrOWed by three points
on Sane Horton's effective serv-
ing.
After the ball changed hands
a'number of times without either
team managing to register a
point, South Huron threw a real
scare into the opposition by mak-
ing it a 2120 ball game. The twO
points were collected when Ilya
Gulens batted a serve over the
net that fell in for a point and
Barb Hodgson smacked out' a
line drive from the serve poi -
tion that stopped Leamington de-
fenders doid.
The tension proved to be a lit-
tle too much for the South Huron
team and they began to falter.
Leamington took the advantage
to roll up six more points and
wrap up the game.
Leamington Went on to defeat
Clarke Road Collegiate 2546 and
Tillsonburg 40,10.
Disheartened at dropping their
opening contest, the locals didn't
play as well against Clarke Read
in the second game and came
out on the short,. end of a 24-20
score,
However, Miss Seignel'.1 erew
did get credit for twe points
against Tillsonburg in a lopsided
32-24 victory. South Huron held
a' 1342 lead after the first half
but With a determined second,
half Spurt, had little trouble dis-
posing of their oppoSitiOn.
