SPORTS
By DON "BOOM BOOM". GRAVETT
;Sports. Editor
After our brie eminent in last week's column
about the listless way the intermediate hockey
Schedule was travelling along, it eertaintr didn't take
long for things to change.
On Monday night, President JOHN BELL,
Secretary ALF LOCKRIDGE and Group Convenor
DOUG- THORNDYKE and another member ef this
year's WOAA executive, whose name pcapes tis at
the moment, were in Exeter town hall inaugurating
g newly formed schedule.
The way everything stands at the present,
EXETER MOHAWKS will have a 22-gainsehedulee.
Since five of the games have been played, the tribe
has 17 more to go, In this new setup, our local club
will play CLINTON, ZURICH, LUCAN and ILDER-
TON twice each in the home -and -home games while
only one trip will be made to POINT EDWARD, FO-
REST and BLACKWELL,
Even though Exeter will only visit the far-
away clubs once, the games will stand as two point -
r.% No four point games will be played. Consequent-
ly when. the schedule finishes up some time it
•February; some of the teams will have played more
games than the others.
Position in the league will be calculated on a
percentage basis like the baseball standings with the
wins and losses meaning everything percenthge-wise
to the final standings of each club in the league.
As we understand it, HENSALL has withdrawn
from the grouping officially to now leave an eight -
team setup. According to the WOAA executive the
top intermediate "B" team wilt leave the grouping
by February 20 to compete against other teams for
the right to enter into O.H.A. playdowns. We stand
to be corrected on this statement but it sounded to
us that the same thing prevails in the homebrew
class that Exeter is in.. Using the word "homebrew"
In, front of the WOAA executive is causing our
club's officials some grief but we'll elaborate on it
in next week's column.
Getting back to the new schedule, we feel lt
will keep the fans more interested in the league and
give the people more hockey, which is what they
want according to everyone I've talked to,
LUCAN-EXETER SERIES—That was quite a
• tussle over the weekend with the IRISH SIX with
each game being won by a 4.3 score. BOB WHITE,
• playing coach of LUCAN, will be looking for a big
'
wrlteup in this space on how we scalped the sham-
rocks but we're going to fool him a little. Even
• thoughwe did take the two -game series, we feel that
the LUCAN IRISH are far from a beaten hockey
club. Their forwards particularly, we thought, Skated-
• very well and outshone the tribe with their passing
• plays on the move. True, we had some ccanbinations
going for us, but on the overall picture we felt that
• White had his forwards on the move more when
• taking the passes. STEVE STOREY was the best man
on the ice for the trish in our books. He played well
• in each game even though he didn't get on the score
Sheet in the second game, McALPINE (Bob Goldharn
the second) wasn't far behind. Steve with his perform.
ance. of blocking Mohawk shots, defensive -wise.
Of course, ivhen a club wins a couple of
• games it must have had something. This we did! For
an overall performance we had a young man by the
nickname of "HEIDIE''' who played a terrific amount
of hockey, With him the performances of BAKER
• and OBIE (who didn't let becoming a family man
worry him) were solid. However, this wasn't all that
did it. Team play and the spirit to win sparked by
youngsters like PINCOMBE, RUSSELL, COATES,
BLOMMAERT and the re,st of them to get in. there
and dig was the main factor.
We theught the most outstandifig performance
from an Exeter minor was turned in by JIMMY Mac -
DONALD,
Jim, an. easygoing guy who likes to down a
chocolate bar and a ,bottle•of pop around 'the supper
hour, left the fans talking after his Saturday perform-
ance, I certainly hope he can keep up the good work
because Pm sure before the season is over we're
going to need plenty of performances like it to get
anywhere.
• With another two games added to the schedule
between the two clubs, the fans should really be in
for a. treat when the two tangle .again.
* *
TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS of the National
Hockey League have everyone stumped! When they
• first took to the i'
ce everyone we spoke to thought
it was a sure bet that they would end up dead
last. In fact, some were so sure they wagered
five bucks on the deal! It's still early in the season,
but if the MAPLEOS keep flying the way they ate
at the present they might end up in second place,
• It's hard to understand how a team can catch
fire With a new coach at the reins after performing
so sluggishly the year before for someone else, If
the Leafs win the Stanley Cup or even make the
playoffs, Coach BILLY REAY should be made Mayor
of TORONTO next year.

At 8.35, Larry Heideman was
on the receiving end of a pair
of short passes by Bill Oberle
and Don Gravett from behind the
Lucan net, and he tied the score.
The play darried on with each
side taking turns testing rival
netrninders, but it wasn't until
10.36 that Storey, who was left
standing uncovered to the side
of the Exeter eet, took advantage
of his opportunity to slap in ,a

drew assists on the play.
Trailing 2.1 half way through
the second period, Don Gravett
put the Mohawks back on even

Three minutes and thirty-seven
seconds later, the Tribe went
ahead for the first time in the
game when Murray Brintnell
sank Gravett's rebound off
Barnes' pads. Defencernan Bill
Waghorn also drew an assist on
the ,play.
However, the lead was short
lived as Steve Storey, one of the
best rnen on the ice for Lucan,
drilled his second goal of the
game -- a high shot into the top
righthand corner of the Exeter
net that Gar Baker had no
chance on.

In Second
The line of MacDonald -
Bill Oberle-Don Gravett caught
fire in. the second period Of the
Saturday night contest to sink
three goals in the space of three
minutes and wipe out a previous
3-1 deficit and gain a 4-3 decision
tor the Tribe (Wer the Trish in
the final game of the !mine and
home series.
The effective three -goal burst
was due mainly to the superb
shifting and stickhardling of
Centreman Bill ()bale, and the
tenacious forechecking display
put on by Leftwinger Jimmy
MacDonald, who ditorganized the
Irish Six:.
Oberle started the three -goal
explosion after thelteams played
through a slow first twenty min-
utes of play, when he shifted in,
from centre ice to deke Goal -
tender Ted Lindsay out of the
net after taking a pats from
MacDonaldf and JIM Loader at
1L53.
Less than a minute later with
the MacDonald#Oberle-Gravett
line all around the net taking pot
However, before the Period
ended, the Tribe's leading scorer,
Larry Heideman, drilled a low
drive past Lindsay on a pass
from "Red" Loader.
The second period was only
L30 old when young Gary Vowel
poked •the Duck behind Dar
Baker to shoot the visitors into
what looked to be, a commanding
3-1 lead early in the middle

Exeter fans reared their
approval of the three -goal seor.

The third period produced only
one penalty and no scoring but
plenty of utten arOtind the nets
at each end of the rink kept the
fans excited.
Paul Baynham and Laskin

ties hi the opening period While
Playing Coaches Bob White, of
Lucan, and "Red" Leader, of
Exeter, each served two -minute

In a much faster second period,

bolding, and was followed hY

out the penalty parade when he
got the thumb for holding the
puck against the boards by him-
self.
.Bev irrbshott went to the sin
bin at 1,9,32 of the final stain*
when confusion prevailed, with
the Lucan goaltender skating off
and on the ice a nuMber of
times. The Irish Six Were caught
with too many men on the ice.
The Don Fletcher -Steve Storey-
HarryWraith line stood mit for
the Irish as they threatened to
score on many- dangerous piayi.
Only the superb work of Baker
in the Exeter nets held them at
bay.
Jim MacDonald turned in his
best display of the SeaSoo, with
Larry Heideman and Bill Oberle
