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. arotind to...See-eVeryone:: However, they' Will be en sale at- Snell'ilros. 'this • Saturday,: •'.

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.
