The Hockey I:1.1014m At A. 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

In what was one of the most

while Dewburry and Hefter found
the range later in the period.

At the moment, Mitchell and
Exeter are tied for first place

Tuesday night encounter is a big
one.
Clinton Colts Upset
The biggest surprise of last
week was produced on Friday
night in Lucan, when the Ilder-
top Wildcats outscored the highly-
rated Clinton Colts 10-9 for their
third victory of the year. The
win moved the 'Cats two points
back of Clinton,. but Ilderton has
played two more games than the
third-place Colt club.
Exeter Mohawks will work
overtime throughout the Yuletide
season as they play in Mitchell
on Dec. 23, back up in Clinton
on Dec, 27, and at home against
the Colts on Jan. 2. ,
