I"AC.K OF ICE HURTS MOHAWKS
Exeter Mohawks are having their troubles and
the roper authorities who could have avoided them
seem unconcerned about the whole matter.
The problem lies not in lack of financial sup-
port because the response from fans throughout the
district has been terrific. It's due to lack of ice time
which has made it difficult for the tribe management
to pick a team and get it in shape for the schedule
which is right around the corner.
A team must have sufficient ice time before
the season starts to, get 'is players into shape and
set up its plays. Without it, the club is behind the
eight -ball right from the start.
Mohawks didn't get that vital ice time in the
local arena this year because of so-called pressure
from the curling club for early ice. To date. Mo-
hawks have spent $00 or more of local fans' clolne-
tione just to get ice time in other rinks. They have
had three workouts in Lucan and two in Hensall
which, to our way of thinking, is ridiculous.
We're not blaming the curling club or any
other club—the more ice time they can get, the more
Power to them. However, we feel that the Mohawks,
who have provided the arena with a good many
shekels in the past, received a raw deal either from
the arena board or the manager.
Conditioning is the biggest problem that faces
a hockey team at the start and,. without it, unneces-
sary injuries crop up early in the season when,games
get under way. As in other years, all Mohawks need-
ed was three or four nights a week or two to send
them on their way. At the moment, with practices
shuffled around to different rinks, the tribe doesn't
even have its roster picked and the schedule is drawn
up.
We can't understand why the arena board
failed to provide for this time, as it has in previous
years, for the Mohawks. We feel certain that if the
situation was explained to the curlers, they would
understand the problem and curtail their activities
during the first week or two to allow the hockey club
to organize for the season.
It's a crying shame that Mohawks have had
to dish up $60 for ice time in other arenas to get
ready for the schedule, Even city rinks look after
their home teams better than that.
MINOR TEAMS HAVE PROBLEMS, TOO!
We understand the only way an arena can pay
for itself is to be booked solid throughout the winter.
We feel this is fine but when it starts robbing minor
hockey teams of ice time then it has gone too far.
The taxpayers should have something to say when
they learn that Exeter pee wee, bantam and midget.
all-star teams have to travel to Lucan tend pay 25
ec is per player per game) to play in the Shamrock
league. We can see where it is fine for a team to
play outsiders once a week but not when it just in-
volves the cream of the crop. If one night were left
r
last year, we'done nasEll for 111 10 S such 1
p
the local service clubs' donations of $300 were
worthwhile but not under these conditions. As it
,stands now, the only guaranteed time for the kids
to play is Saturday mornings. A tentative bantam-
midget house league will have to be worked in be-
fore public skating or Mohawk games, if there are
any,
We may have the wrong idea when we say this
but in our line of thought, the main purpose of the
arena is to keep the kids off the street by allowing
them to participate iii their public skating or minor
hockey,' Then, the arena should cater to such activi-
ties as curling, hockey, figure skating etc,
CUFF CLEANERS—Glenn Mickle still insists Ottawa
will win the Big your title. Any bettors around? ,
'The intermediate league should be a real toughie
this year. At least two clubs feel they have the title
in the bag < , . Iiderton Wildcats are just waiting to
pounce on the Mohawks and Clinton says the tribe
has had it because they lost Gar Bake. The con -
elusion remains to be seen , . Only 42 days left
until Christmas! , .. Sarnia Golden Bears wasted
little time 'in disposing of Kitchener. The Sarnia vic-
tory should up football morale in the border city
considerably ,• , Watch out for Maple Leafs! They
may be in the cellar now but they still have games in
hand on the rest of the league. It would be good to
see them catch fire: , .. We're told the Spares in
the Men's Bowling League have slowed up to catch
their second wind like the Butchers. The only trouble
is that the Butchers did the same and now have stop-
ped breathing and it might happen to the Spares if
they hestitate too long , . We think the fans will
like what they see in the Mohawks this year. Several
new faces are here that should provide plenty of
punch for the locals' delight. (We hope!)

Only .eight players• on the sen-

to the London WOSSA tourna-
ment Saturday and, had they
had a little more help, they
might have won the champion-
ship. The eight boys started play-

their final game at 5:00 p.m.
"I felt that We would have won
the works if we had met Wat-
laceburg and North Essex in the
first twp matches,' said Coach
. Glen iitirkle, "As it was, the
loam and I were 'both tired when
the two important games rolled
around. All the team had was a
45{minule lunch hour for a
breather."
Despite the fact that South
Huron did lose, the locals .made
a real race of It for the honours.
They topped Glencoe in their
first two contests 15-1 and 15.3
and then moved on to wallop

losing the flet game by a score.
of 13-3.
