THE INTERMEDIATE "B" HOMY PICTURE Looking over the five games played to date in the local Intermediate "B" hockey setup involving Clinton, Exeter, Lucan Mitchell and Ilderton it looks as though the league will be clear of all weak sisters for this winter at least. Although the season is young and several of the clubs are not in the peak of con- dition, the way the loop is starting out could be A fair indication of what the fans my expect In the future. Clinton Colts are rid- ing the crest on a pair of wins but both victor- ies have been close con- tests. Although the Lu - can Irish :lave yet to hit the win column in two tries, they have lost a couple of heart -breakers to Exeter and Ilderton. Mitchell could be the surprise of the league. We watched the Red Devil six in action on Tuesday night and the way they walked over the Ilderton Wildcats in- dicated to us that they could very easily be strong contenders for the loop laurels, One notable player on the ice for the Mitchell club was Mary Shantz. Loyal fans should remember Mary when he wore the Mohawk uniform in Exeter's Senior "B" year, Mary looked pretty sharp too as he pumped 'home three goals in a win- ning cause and threw his weight around effectively. A second player on the ice that took our fancy was Ted Bogal, another Exeter player at one time. Ted was wearing a Wildcat sweater. Possibly the most remarkable thing that oc- curred in the Mitchell-Ilderton game was the fact that Bill "Issy", Powell at the age of 37, is still play- ing for the Mitchell team. "Issy" didn't take a back seat to anyone either. The smooth -skating artist wheeled around the ice as though he 'as 20 and found time to score the second goal of the game for Mitchell, unassisted, to shoot his club into a 2-0 first period lead. Man: fans around the district of Mitchell ride "Issy" about retirement. In fact, they've gone as far to say that when Maurice "Rocket" Richard hangs up his blades for the last time, "Issy" will too! We certainly have to hand it to William. We hope that when we're 37 we can still skate, let alone play hockey as well as he can. CUFF CLEANERS One of the most pleasant sur- prises over the past weekend took place in Rether's Restaurant over the Sunday dinner hour when we ran into our old friend, Franky Anderson. As every- one knows, Frank has had quite a. battle with T.B. After seeing him Sunday, we'd say he's .won. lie looks healthier than ever and is back on the blades again. Although he admits it's harder for him to get back into shape, he's spend- ing some time with a Lon- don Industrial team by the name of Cheyennes. Frank is working at one of the outdoor Skating rinks in London . . . We couldn't. talk him into a Mohawk contract, so rest easy, op- position! . . . That was FRANK ANDERSON quite a deer expedition the 19 from this area went on the past week. We heard several comments passed on the week-long journey and. we have one we'd like to pass along. It refers to Clayton Horton of the Seaforth area who shot three deer on the hunt. Bert Horton, of Hensel], Clayt's brother, tells us that it's really gratifying to know that all his years and years of diligent teaching has finally paid off! Bert taught Clayt everything he knows. If you don't be- lieve us ask Bert! , . . George Hicks, who is 78 years of age, was the oldest member of the party to make the trip in which 14 deer were shot . The base- ball fans are really pondering over that deal the Tigers pulled off with Cleveland. Getting Narleski just might be the shot in the arm the Bengals need . . . The Hamilton Ti -Cats can't do worse than come out second best in the Grey Cup final . . After the Exeter Mohawks dropped the 7-6 decision to E.!linton Saturday night, Jimmy MacDonald of the tribe spent the night in South Huron Hospital. The chunky left wringer ran into a heavy check at centre ice mid -way through the second period and damaged some chest tissue. However, he's up and around now and raring to go . . We're told that Judy Mason, a member of The T -A staff, made the best stop of the night at the Saturday game when she got in front Of a shot that carried over the boards and hit her • beside the left eye. Both clubs tried to sign her up but she wouldn't accept! MARV SHANTZ FFF I ; MOMMIIM 000 ommituirs ll 000 o oo IMMIVIM4.1 Hockey Action!

"We've been WELL REWARDED—A party of 19 district hunters bagged 14 deer on a week's hunt , in the Manitoulin district last week. Four of the group are shown here—standing, Ray Cottle, left, Bill Etherington; kneeling, Les Gibson and Archie Lamond, London. 1Zurich Players Bag 14 Deer Mith Goderich In Manitoulin Fourteen deer were shot by a 19 -man expedition into the Mani- toulin district for seven days last week. The party returned to Exeter Saturday morning. Clayton Horton, of Seaforth, was the big man on the hunt as he, bagged three of the animals. Lyell Lee, of Centralia, and Grant Martin, of London, each shot two, as did Maurice Hayden, one of the two guides on the trip. Single deer were shot by Ed Alexander and Bill Etherington, fOsborne, d Alex McMurtri and Emerson Anderson, of the Kippen district. The party also included Archie Lomond, and Martin, of London; Les Gibson, Ray Jory and Harry Mothers, of Exeter; Frank Hicks, George Hicks and Roy Lamport, of Centralia; Ray Cottle, Us - borne; Bert Peck and. Ronald Anderson, of Kippen. district, and Bob Doig and Elmer Stevenson, of Seaforth. • Mitchell Club Swamps 'Cats Mitchell Red Devils, paced by the five -goal effort of centre Al- vin Weber, chalked up an im- pressive 11-5 victory over Ilder- ton Wildcats in Mitchell Tues- day night before some 200 fans, Mary Shantz fired three more goals for the winners while Charlie Westman, "Link" Roh. fritsch and "Issy" Powell notched singletons. G: Thompson was a two -goal man for llderton while Thurwell, SW O'Neil and L. Noden each scored once. Mitchell went ahead 4-1 in the first period, outscored Ilderton 5-2 in the second, and then wrap- ped up their first victory of the season by pumping home two more goals in the final session. Bruce Chessel in the Mitchell net and Keith Scarborough be- tween the pipes for Ilderton were kept busy throughout the con- test. Chessel didn't have as much work to do as Scarborough but he rose to the occasion on the majority of times be was called upon. to do so. 0,11'1'0 Searbe liehe II J1, lifer( 5rnitg.h; defence. G.

The highest of the three games rolled was a 298 affair. Happy Gals and Hi -Lights kept a one-two pace in the league standings when each collected seven points over their opposition. The front -running Gals, behind Dot Munroe's 647 triple, upset the Pills while the Hi -Lights electrocuted the Rollettes for :ev- en big points. Kaye Stapleton looked after the free bowling award of the week for the high triple honors while Irene Simmons of the ;Jolly Six copped the award on the hid- den score basis. Leading the Ladies' League this week In the high triple de- partment besides Stapleton's feat were Dolly Mattson 705 (Nile Hawks), Phyllis Haugh 631 (Pin Poppettes), Hazel Beavers 617 (Merry, Maids), Joyce Weber 604 (Wee Hopes) and Dot Mun- roe of the Happy Gals with 647,.

Noden, G. Thompson and Thurwell. Fulton has played defence lot' the Strathroy Rockets for the. Past several seasons while Bogal needs little introduction to these parts having played with Mo- hawks at one time. Don Quire, a 215 -pound centre also has add- ed a lot of spark to the Ilderton club. The Mohawks, who had a workout in Lucan Tuesday night, will have to be on their toes for this one as it promises to be an- other rousing game like that with the Clinton Colts. Clinton Undefeated Clinton Colts are the' only team, in the league to remain undefeated while Lucan has yet to win a game. Each of the other clubs have at least one victory to their credit. Late Counter Dumps Tribe Sparked by two well balanced forward lines and the fine goal keeping of Don Denomme, Clin- ton Colts scored a thrilling 7-6 victory over the. Exeter Mohawks before 419 enthusiastic fans in Exeter Friday night. The Colts' victory — .their sec- ond of the season came with just 18 seconds remaining in regulation time. With the goal at 19,42, Mohawks had little time to wear off the shock and get back into contention before the clock ticked'away the final sec- onds of play. For playing -coach Kenny Doig and his club, the victory was' an uphill battle all the way, and a well deserved one, After the first 20 minutes of play, Exeter held a 2-1 lead. The Colts went ahead 4-3 after the second period, but when .the first 13 minutes had gone in the final stanza, the Mohawks held a 6-5 lead. Goals at 14.44 and 19.42 clinched the verdict for the visitors, The game offered the public plenty of variety as 13 penalties were handed out. The 60 -minute encounter was one of the fastest and most crowd pleasing contests to be seen in the Exeter arena in some time. Ken Doig Paces Win, • Centre Kenny Doig pumped home two goals in the second period to spark tile Clinton win, His linepta4.es, Doug Cruickshank •and 'Jack Merriam, chipped in with . two important goals, as Cruickshank found the range for the tying marker at 14,44, and Merriam waltzed right in front d u left wing position for the Winner ati9;42 TllColts had plenty of steam for this one as they jumped into an early 1-0 lead ea Murray Colohhoun's glob from the blue - line that fooled Paul Hamilton in tileExetert.
