In ; fact; we feel that if something ie going to be done, a move should be made within the next 10 days to call a general meeting of the public and find out just what the reaction really is. Very encouraging steps have been taken in the last day or so by one town enthusiast which has really started the ball rolling. The man we have in mind, and he'll probably Fhoot us for mentioning his name. is Charlie Acheson. If what we've heard about his travels is true. the • news should be at least hopeful to players and fans alike that another team will operate from this town this winter. Charlie has approached only three members of the more recent supporters to date in the persons of Bill 11, Allison, Elmer Bell and •- Ken Hockey about a club, but all gave the affirma- tive . nod to help in any way possible to get an 'Intermediate "B.:club back on its feet. This kind of news sounds good to this corner in more ways than one. First of all. \ye feel that it's not the players' responsibility to operate a club when playing. When they become retired then it's their duty to take over the reins but not while playing. „ Trying to run a team and play at the same time is definitely too much to ask. It was tried last year and an important mistake turned tip on one of the certifi- cates. An alert executive spending all their time on • the business end of things undoubtedly would have caught this type of thing. I sincerely believe that the future of the hockey . club should be left up to the town citizens and mer- .- chants, By backing the hockey team, the local stores gain revenue through the club's purchasing of necessi' tics and throtigh the people that outside teams bring • with them for a day or two, or whatever the case may be. When Sundridge was here, "Bucko" MacDonald • had his, club here for two days. His players spent money and the fans that came with them undoubtedly did the same. The same situation prevailed with the Bradford hockey club last year, although they only stayed a day, Early arrival fans browsed the stores. It was worth trying the homebrew brand of hockey, but after the mixed reception from the public, a higher bracket should be obtained if at all possible. This town has the players available for a better.than- average Int, "E" club, but if something soon isn't • done, teams from other comnmnities with smaller • populations than Exeter's will start luring them away and the town will find itself on the short end of the rope. • We know for a fact that other clubs throughout the district are feeling their way right now for players because .this is the time to make the move. The local booster club of old is the ideal solution to the problem confronting everyone, but without it, we feel it's hope. less to try to run a team. We sincerely hope that • something comes of this new enthusiasm taking place in town. PLAYERS AREN'T REALLY A PROBLEM •ert As far as Exeter is concerned, jumping into an Intermediate "B" class would not, really produce a player problem. With the experience gained last year by local youngsters, and what has been moved into the town from at least three years of hard work by past executives, Exeter can have a strong contender. • One of the biggest drawbacks to a club this year • is the departure of agile Gar Baker, who has been tending the nets for the past three or four years. His shoes will be hard to fill, but we understand that an. other goaltender, also in the teaching profession, has • moved in to take a crack at filling the position. As , well, we understand that a second teacher in town is at home on the blue line with a hockey club, so the . picture may not be as black as it looks. Undoubtedly the Mohawks could stand a shot in the arm on the defence, but this would not involve more than three • or four players in tryouts. The longer things are set aside the harder it will be to find players, Now is the time to make the move with several promising young. sters still floating around on the loose. .A SHAKY WEEK ON PREDICTIONS . Only three right with two wrongs resulted from all the fuss and bother of gazing into our crystal ball last week on the gridiron prediction trail. I'll just have to get a new method of madness, However, the three correct guesses boosted the total of right to 12 as against five incorrect tries. These figures leave us with a .706 percentage. • in the pigskin march this week, the WIFU will keep the fans out West really hopping. The last en. • counter that saw the Eskimos hand Calgary its first defeat of the season was witnessed by some 21,000 • fans.
