Glance Nothing else seems, to be 'very important these days with Christmas right at our doorsteps. The Yule- tide season seems to help � forget gone for et their problems as children's faces beam with excitement: Majority of the teams in the Intermediate loop will have nothingelse to think about during host of g the festive season, but the Mohawks will have to do their best to mix rich 'Christmas rood with the scheduled games. For some unknown reason, the Tribe sits idle without a homeg ame in over a week's time, and then they jump into the thick of things just when one would think that the skates should be hung up. Two days before the Christmas dinner is served, the Tribe will invade Mitchell for an all-important contest with two of their first-class defencemen miss- ing. Weise and Bourque are the two playing hooky, as Glen has fractured ribs and Jean is home in Mont- real. Two days rfter Christmas, Exeter will do battle with the high -flying Clinton Colts, who hope, to have a surprise in goal to throw at the Mohawk snipers for the first time. It could be Gar Baker, Clinton will provide the opposition in the Exeter rink January 2, which should be a real battle. Injury -wise, Exeter hasn't done too badly to date. With the exception of Weise, the Mohawks have stayed fairly healthy. Clinton Colts ran into a setback in Lucan Friday, when John Hartley, one of the more aggressive athletes in the league, suffered a fractured • arn1, To boot, Playing Coach Kenn, Doig pulled a tendon and has been hobbling around. although he trust be coming around by now, since he picked up six assists in his last outing. Also out of action on the Colt regime is Captain Lionel "Babe" Arbour, who pulled several tendons in his leg on November 22 in a game in Exeter. We haven't heard of any aches or pains from down Mitchell way or around the Lucan district where Ilderton and the Irish hibernate. Ice conditions in the local arenas where the Tribe participates in its hockey games, seems to be a topic of conversation among the loop's teams. To this corner, the ice• in the Lucan arena is the worst in the league. It seems to chip very easily for some reason and the club finds' it difficult to work their plays with the ease found in the Exeter arena. Arena Manager Alvin Willert keeps the local sheet of ice in good con- dition all year round and for our money, Ws the best iii the loop. Mitchell, although we haven't played there yet, looked to have a keen sheet of ice also. Good ice also prevails in the Clinton arena, where it's not too hard and very keen. , Before we sign off to enjoy the Christmas dinner which has been offered our way from Kitchener, we have a little verse here that could pertain to the hockey action coming, up next Tuesday in the Mitchell arena 'between the Mohawks and Mitchell Red Devils in a battle for first place We hope we don't lose any friends over it! , 'Twas two nights before Christmas and. a battle was stirring, The Mitchell arena was the scene of the hurrying. First place was at stake, and skating was hard, Heavy checking prevailed, even officials were Jarred. The Mohawks scored first on a beautiful play, With "Obie" and "Red" in all the way. But the Red Devil power struck back fast As Shantz scored his first on a dandy short Mass. Into the second the hot contest soared, Each tied 1-1, nobody could score, Then when it looked as though it was even, Shantz again blistered a shot past Stephan. But the Mohawks Were not to be really denied As "Heidie" this time sent it back into a tie! Only seconds to go in the final big frame, First place still at stake, oh, what a game! Aa Dietrich himself skates the length of the rink With his goalstick, pads and a thought there to think. He shoots a hot one that catches the corner, The Mohawks win and leave all the mourners! Dietrich is tied with Jacques Plante in the race, Every goaler.who wanders has a chance at this pace. Plante's one assist gave hiin the lead, But "Buddy's" goal was a dandy indeed! Now into the turkey, sauce and some pie, It's Christmas, and time to bid you goodbye. So to one arid all of our many old friends, Merry Christmas and good cheer that never ends!

Irish Press Mohawks But Tribe Wins 7-5 Although. Exeter 14 o h a. w :k s wound up on top of a 74. score against the Lucan Irish on Exeter ice, Friday night for their fifth win 1n six starts, the vic- tory was far from impressive.. It was one of those nights for the Tribe as their passing plays clicked haphazardly, their shoot - leg was erratic, and they lacked the .defens.ive co-ordination that carried them in .their previous' five outings, The Irish, on the other hand, were flying for two periods but ran out of steam in the third. If it had not been for the splendid netminding .chore turned in by Exeter's ""Bud" Dietrich, the Tribe could have easily wound up on the short end of the• final summary, The only difference between the two clubs was that. Exeter were a little sharper around the net. “Obie" Sinks Three Rill Oberle was the' hot -shot for Mohawks, scoring a single Marker in each period for a "hat- trick." Other snipers for the winners were Jim "Bed" Loader, Billy Pinkham, Don Cowan and Jim Russell. Bobby Hefter paced the Irish attack with two goals, while teammates Marty 'Dag', Mery O'Neil and Al Dewberry notched singles. Cowan e en S' ks First t Rightwinger Don Cowan made an impressive debut with the Mohawks when he opened up the game with its first goal at the seven -minute mark of the first period. Gib Sabourin helped on the play. It only took the Irish Six seven seconds to tie it up as Marty Day blinked the light at 7.17. Exeter's 'jimmy. Russell was johnny-on-the-spot to tip 117 a passout at 10.25 after Larry Heideman and, Bill Pincombe WOAA INT.

Harold O'Brien was M.C„ and Mrs. Davis, pianist. The concert opened with a ,recitation by Ricky DeBraben- dere, followed , by Christmas songs by.;the entire school. Fol- lowing a dialogue by Marlene Timms and Cathy DeBrabendere, "Ten Little Nigger Boys" was en- acted by boys. behind the curtain with dimmed lights. Recitations were given by Grant Elston, Bill Esson, Ronnie McNaughton and Carl Peterson. The junior chorus, including Brenda Parkinson, Cathy and Ricky DeBrabendere, Ronnie McNaughton and Grant Elston, sang several selections. Several dialogues . were presented, also "The Snowflake Carnival with Jaek Frost," by the entire school. The prgoram came to an end with a play, "Christmas Stories'," presented by • all the" pupils, "Here : Comes Santa Claus" Ushered in the white -bearded jolly man whodistributed gifts and candy to all, worked the puck out of the corner, Bob Heller sank his first of two less than two minutes rater to put the clubs back on even terns again,, but a pair of pair of quickies by Bill Oberle and Pincombe gave the Tribe a 4.2 first period lead. In what was one of the most scrambly type of games played. in the Tribe wigwam in some time, the Lucan club hustled their way right back into the picture by outscoring Mohawks 3-2 in the second stanza, Mery O'Neil took only 48 sec- onds to get his for the Irish, while Dewburry and Hefter found the range later in the period. "Red" Loader and Oberle kept Exeter on top on the scoresheet by netting a single each, to give the locals a 6-5 edge at the end. of the second, The only goal of the final frame was Oberle's, who com- pleted his "hat -trick" at the 9.38 mark, with his linemates assist- ing on the play.
