it was quite a shock to the sporting world to
.hear about the incredible plane crash that took the
lives of several famed soccer stars and sports re-
porters. The plane, which. was ripped to shreds in
the pileup, broke up one of the most colourful soccer
teams on the far away continent. MANCHESTER
UNITED, who copped the world soccer laurels for
the last two years, were as popular and outstanding
to the millions of soccer enthusiasts of that country
as the NEW YORK YANKEES are to baseball fans in
the States and Canada,
TREV WILSON, a close friend of ours who
operates a drugstore business in HENSALL, hails
from COLERAINE, Ireland, and was one of the many
Canadians extremely interest -
fit ed in the crash results. When
_y 4 at home, TREV used to kick
around with a young chap
by the name of HARRY
GREGG and spe.at many hours
watching him train. This
young athlete turned out to
be one of the recent crash
victims, GREGG was just
UNITED team from pur-
chased by the MANCHESTER
CASTER ROVERS a few
weeks before the miohap for
a reported $80,000. The sum
paid our for the stellar goal-
keeper is believed to be the highest sum paid by
any club in . the history of the game for a goal-
keeper. Ironically enough, the 22 -year-old athlete
was one of two players to walk out of the wrecked
aircraft without a scratch. BILLY FOULKES, a right
back, was the only other player to get off as easy
as GREGG. Eleven team members are known to have
lost their lives. MATT BUSBY, who is as well known
to the soccer crowd as MICKEY MANTLE or TED
WILLIAMS are to baseball over here, is on the
critical list. Busby is the team manager and is well
liked by the players and fans throughout the soccer
continent,
In the Old Country, many players have more
than one chance in a season to be an a championship
team. A player has the right to play for more than
one club if he is good enough. In GREGG'S case, he
still attends goal for IRELAND and will be playing
in the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP in SWEDEN in
about four months' time.
BOXING DAY? — There were more heavy-
weight, lightweight, welterweight and featherweight
champions in POINT EDWARD last Wednesday night
than the boxing game will see in many years. Flying •
fists, insults—an utter disgrace to hockey took. place
following the MOHAWK-PT. EDWARD contest. Angry
fans waited for the Mohawks to emerge outside the
arena to do battle after a 10-3 Exeter victory. In-
adequate police protection helped to spur the hot-
heads. into their act. Only one man in blue stood
--,
there with a wide grin on his face.
. •
- If it wasn't for the Exeter fans who made
the long journey to the border town, some of the
.1 tribe may have been hurt. However, everyone was
able to walk away from the fracas as far as the Ex-
eter group was concerned. The part that really burns
•:.k this corner up along with several sensible POINT
EDWARD players, is that the referees, who let every-
thing go throughout the hockey game, got away.
Why should the Mohawks and their fans take the
,
. beating? The referees were the chief instigators! One
• ref told us to keep our head up before the game
...: while taking warmups. Now it's all water under :the
.,
. bridge, but the league should make sure that any
-
. team allowed to enter into a grouping for the first
...
time, must show that adequate protection for players
... and fans will be at each game.
A. One remark that was passed through a couple
..
of brawls struck us as very amusing. JACK HEY -
WOOD was threatened by one of the quick-tongued
boxers down there and was told that if his other two
brothers, who are in the hospital, were there they
would fix him pronto. Quick thinking JACK retorted
with a wide grin, "Yea, if my other brothers were
here we'd put all of you in the hospital!"

CUFF CLEANERS — Tuesday night's hockey
game between the local six and the ILDERTON
WILDCATS was forfeited to the MOHAWK aggrega-
tion by Ilderton manager DON BUDDO. A serious
fire took place at ROBB'S FROZEN FOOD locker in
ILDERTON and took the services of many of the
Wildcats for most of the night on Monday. This is
what one might call the "easiest" victory of the
A
A season for the tribe. PHILLIPSBURG CHEVS are
burning up GROUP 1 of the WOAA. The CHEVS are
a high-class homebrew outfit who are in first place
in the league standings boasting a 15-3 record , . .
By the way, EXETER. MOHAWKS have sent out
smoke signals for a new set of sweaters. The ones
being worn by the tribe look something like the
old HAMILTON TIGER sweaters of a few years
back. Old pros such as CARL and TOM SMELLE,
ART CHILDS and BILL DINNING wore the old
Tiger sweaters until they fell off them . , it's quite
a feather in HAROLD RIBSON'S hat to have his LU -
CAN LEPRECHAUN hockey team make a trip to ED
SULLIVAN'S Big, Big Shoo! . — Harold will be as
keyed up as the kids are from now until March 16,

The tribe's biggest 'game came
on. Friday night before the home-
town fans when they pulled out
a thrilling 7-6 victory over Clin-
ton Colts, just when it looked as
though the Colts were ready to •
take home a victory. Previous
to the Friday night encounter,
Exeter outplayed Pt. Edwarct for
a 10-3 decision.
Liman Irish, who have been
coming into their own .of late.
ran up a pair .of very important
wins against Pt. Edward and
Zurich. The 7-2 and 9-0 decision
over Zurich and Pt. Edward re-
spectively, lifted the Irish Six
into sole possession ,of se.eond
place ahead, of the :Clinton Colts
wbo had their troubles in drop-
ping two games in as.:many tries.
Zurich Flyers, although they
lost to the Irish early in the
week, rebounded for a 7-2 ver -
diet over the Ilderton Wildcats
at home- on Friday for their
fourth win in 13 games.

Loader Sparks Tribe
To 7-6 Win Over Colts
"Reci." Loader's second goal of
the third period at 19:53, after
a faccoff to the left of Clinton
net, gave the Exeter Mohawks
a thrilling 7-6 uphill victory over
the third place Clinton Colts in
Exeter on Friday night before
close to 375 fans,
Exeter's playing coach slam-
med home the tying marker at
15:12 and produced the "clinch-
er" in the dying seconds of the
final period to give the tribe
their sixteenth victory in 18
games.
The Colts led all the way
throughout the game until the
dramatic climax which sent
many Exeter fans home talking
about it,
Don Gravett and Loader scored
twice in the contest for the win-
ners while Gib Sabourin, Bill
Fincombe and Larry Heideman
potted one goal each for the
winners.
Jack Merriam sank three for
the Colts with Ken Doig, Mait
Edgar and "Babe" Arbour net-
ting one apiece.
Clinton started the game off
with a quick first -period goal
when Jack Merriam caromed a
close -in shot into the net at 1:30.
Kenny Doig sank number 2 for
the Colts at 10:55 for a 2-0 lead
but Exeter's Gib Sabourin got
one back at 11:20 by lifthig a
high shot from 15 feet out past
Denomme in the Clinton net.
Just over two minutes later,

Billy Pincombe came roaring
right back with a Mohawk goal
just 15 seconds later by batting
in a rebound.
The game was all tied up for
the second time within two per-
iods at 11:26 when "Boom" fired
a backhander through a maze of
players in front of the Clinton
net for the equalizer. With the
score reading 4-4, the Colts just
couldn't be held back as Mer-
riam completed his hat -trick
after taking a pass from Bev
Boyes. The visitors held the
lead once again with the final
period to play.
"Babe" Arbour was rewarded
with a "gift" goal at the 51 -
second mark of the final stanza
when Kevin Delbridge misjudged
an easy slider and Gar Baker
let it slip past him into the net.
At this point of the game, it
looked as though the Clinton
club was well on its way to its
second consecutive victory on
Exeter ice when the roof fell
in.
Centre Larry Heideman start-
ed things off with a goal at '3:02
after taking a pass from line -
mate Jimmy Russell.
Then playing coach Jim Load-
er was the "take charge" guy
on the ice as he whipped home
a pair of markers before the
Colts could stop him.
Although he didn't figure in
the goal -scoring category, cen-
tre Bill Oberle played a strong
game down centre as he 'picked
up four assists,
Clinton's Gord ,Walters was
nicked for a ten-minute miscon-
duct penalty in the second per -
tea when he told the referee
Russ Evon to keep out ,of his
way.
