What a game! What .a trip!
One thing bothers this so-called writer. Why
will over 10G fans make a 125 -mile trip to cheer our
club, and only 450 fans come to home games? It
doesn't add up.
The boys are playing good hockey—just as
Interesting as any so-called higher calibre classifica-
tions. They are doing it on their own this year, not
asking anyone for anything but support at their
games. Surely after all the blurps about imports,
fans would live up to their statements about sup-
porting local G 1 players.

One local restauranteur and wrestling pro-
moter we know was so excited about the.hockey team
that he gave himself a shower ,bath of his own fine
coffee describing the action of the last game to some
of the boys.
CURLING, BOWLING AND SKATING
The Exeter Curling Club is winding up its
most successful year with a two-day bonspel follow-
ed by its grand finale banquet.
The bowlers, male and female, are going into
their playoffs with the interest riding high..
Let's not forget the big show of the winter
season—the Exeter Figure Skating Club's presenta-
tion of "Ice Frolic '58" under the fine instruction
of our young professional, Pat Slade of London. The
people will be pleasantly surprised at the progress
made by the young skaters of our area, It's a good
show, so get your tickets early. Any club member
has thein.
JAUNT DOWN MEMORY LANE
For the old timers: Remember the Exeter -
Zurich vs. Stratford Indians series when Big and
Little Dodo Hoffman, Big Hiny Hindmarsh, Bertram
of the Bank of Commerce played for us against
the famous Howie Morenz, Butch Ifeltabor.I, Larry
Berger and mates. The special train from Exeter to
Stratford for the final game with all the fun?
Then, much later, the bus trip to Wellesley
with the 'team that had the best all-around center
ever developed in the town of Exeter, Reg Mac-
Donald. Incidently, the yourg Bobby Ma -Donald of
the Pee Wee all-stars is shaping up to be even better
than father, eh Reg?
* * * * *
TRIBUTE TO MORENZ
News items from the Mitchell paper of in-
terest to all hockey fans, young and old, states that
a TV station is gathering data on the feats of the
great Howie Morenz in his,earlyplaying days in this
area.
His life story should make a terrific produc-
tion as it runs the whole gamut of emotions—tri-
umphs, failures. cheers, boos, tears and laughs.
Let's hope the producers keep it factual,
honest and sincere since that was Howie's way of
life.
* * * * * *
,CONGRATULATIONS, STU O'NEIL
it's with pleasure Chat we find a fine hockey
player from the Cyclone league chosen as the best
athlete at OA`" -Stu O'Neil of those good Ilderton
teams. Stu is not only a good hockey and football
player but a fine student and, above all, a gentle-
man.

Winding up—If anyone has time Easter week,
it would be worth their while to slip up to Goderich

Bradford Brad's -Fords have
filed an official protest to the

the eligibility of 4f4liawk's Play-
ing Coach ;lilts "fled" Loader.
John Rutherford, manager of
' the Br'ad's -Fords, iaas forwarded
$50 to the MIA and is basing his
protest on the fact that Loader
only signed a coaching certifi-
cate and not a playing certifi-
cate, to participate in the games.
The 01iA rule states that
every player must have a play-
er's certificate signed. Tliis
ruling was put into effect last
year:
WOAA Behind Mohawks
Johnny Bell, president of the
Western Ontario Athletic Asso-
ciation, told Mohawk manager
Bill Musser that 11)e WOAA is
taking full responsibility for the
mistake. Certificates sent into

Loekridge himself and forwarded
to Bill Hanley, manager of the
OHA. Lack of attplaying certifi-
cate for Loader was not noticed.
WOAA officials have sent a
letter to Hanley in defence of
Mohawks.
"Red" Bewildered
Playing Coach "Red" Loader
is bewildered by the proceedings
as he's been an active playing
coach for most of the four years
lie's spent with the Mohawks,
"As far as T know," said
"Red," I signed exactly the
same type of certificates this
year as before. As far as I'm
concerned' the document signed
was a playing coach certificate."
What the outcome of the pro-
test will be, will not be known
until the end of the week.

Are Bradford Legal?
Becton Bees filed a protest to
the OIIA in a previous series
about three players on the Brad-
ford club when the Fords won
1 the first four games of their
best -of -seven series. The result
was that the OHA wiped out two
'victories and banned one Brad-
ford player frons playing any
longer.
Becton officials, visiting the
!Mohawks dressing room between
the periods of Tuesday night's
game, expressed doubts about
the eligibility of a couple of
Bradford players to Mohawk of-
ficials,
Mohawks wan the first two
games of the best -of -seven set
with Bradford but dropped Tues-

Exeter Mohawks suffered their
first loss of the season on the
road Tuesday night when Brad-
ford's Brad's Fords squeezed
out a close 7.6 victory in the
third game of the OHA Inter-
mediate "C" Ontario quarter
finals.
Despite the ' loss, Mohawks
still lead the best -of -seven series
2-1.
The line of Laurie Thorns, Don
Gibson and Jini Patton sparked
Bradford's first victory of the
series as they scored six of the
winners seven markers.
Centre Laurie Thorns drilled
home three goals while linemate
Don Gibson tallied twice, Don
Booth., who patrols right wing,
accounted for the other produc-
tion goal on the big lu.e,
Bill Oberle pumped home three
of the Mohawk's six goals while
singles fell to Don Gravett; Jim
MacDonald and Larry Heide-
man.
The Fords rolled up a 3.1 -first
period lead on a pair of goals
by Don Gibson and a single by
Laurie Thoms, while "Boom"
Gravett scored a lone Exeter
tally,
The second period was only
2:17 old when the Mohawks had
the game all tied un as Jim

Mohawks drew first blood in
the OIiA quarter-fipals Thursday
night in the local arena when
they registered a 9.4 victory
over Brad's Fords from Bradford
before some 450 enthusiastie
fans.
Cy Blommaert, Jim MacDon-
ald and Bill Oberie paced Exeter
snipers with two goals each,
Singles went to Bill Franklin,
"Red" Loader and Don Gravett.
Jimmy Patton fired three of
the Ferds' markers, while line -
mate Laurie Thoms registered
the other.
Althqugh Mohawks' crafty
centre, Bill Oberle, only dented
the twine twice, he was beyond
a doubt the centre of attraction.
"Obie" played a major part in
setting up six other Mohawk
goals for an eight -point night.
The only goal scored that he
didn't figure in on was the
Tribe's initial marked. by Cy
l3lolnmaert in the first period,
when he was an the bench,.
Although Exeter emerged with
a 2-1 lead from the first period,
the v1.4it0rs outshot them easily
by a 3-1 margin. But for the
superb goaltending of Gar Braker
between the pipes, Mohawks
wouldpicture, have. been out of the
four in the second
Bill Oberle started off a four -
goal sceond•period Mohawk
spurt 36 seconds after the open-
ing whistle. Although Bradford's
Laurie Teams got that one back
at 2,20, the Mohawks surged on
and were rewarded with a pair
of tallies front leftwinger Jim
MacDonald, who turned in one
of his best games of the season,
and a single marker from • de-

Only bright spot in the Brad-
ford lineup in the third period,
was rightwinger Jim Patton,
who fired, a pair of goals at 6.12
and 17.32 to complete his hat -
trick,
However, his goals were offset
by markers from Playing Coach
