DOUG HARVEY TO VISIT EXETER THIS WEEK
Doug Harvey, defensive genius of the World
Champion Montreal Canadiens, will be a welcome
visitor to this neck of the woods on Saturday, May
16, when he appears: at Exeter's minor hockey ban-
.quet, Everyone who was connected with the winter
sports programis being invited to see Harvey and.
ask him questions about his profession. We under-
stand that even the referees are in on this one.,
Through the courtesy of local service clubs,.
including the Kinsmen, Lions, Legion and Recreation-
al Council and the strong co-operation of Moe Gobeil
out Centralia way, the appearance of Harvey has
been made possible. Prior to the Saturday show, the
burly defenceman will attend RCAF Centralia's An-
nual Winter Sports Banquet on the station. Pete
Durand of the local Legion is the instigator of the
]minor banquet here and we think he should have
a pat on the back for his efforts. Autograph seekers
should have a field day and with a bun feed thrown
in, it .should make an enjoyable afternoon for all
the local kids, coaches, referees and executive alike.
By the way, the big shin -dig is taking place in the
Exeter Legion Hall between the hours of 2 - 5 p.m,
Undoubtedly, the turnout of youngsters will be first
class, While they're there, we hope that they ask
Mr. Harvey the many questions they wonder about
So much through their ownseason of play. This is
your chance, fellas, Don't slip up!
INJURY COST HARVEY ALL-STAR BERTH
Top surprise of the National Hockey League
all-star team for the '58-'59 season was that Doug
Harvey's name ;failed to appear on the lineup for
the first time in eight seasons. After watching him
display his abilities in the Stanley Cup playoffs
against Chicago Black Hawks and Toronto Maple
Leafs, it's hard to understand why the defensive stal-
wart didn't make the dream team. In the playoff
round, he looked like a million dollars to his own
club and even to opposition fans.
Many things led to the fact that he wasn't
chosen.. The main factor seems to be that he failed
to stay healthy through the 70 -game NHL schedule.
After missing a number of games throughvarious
injuries, Harvey's point output took a dive from 41
to 20. He managed only four goals and. 16 assists.
In '57-'58 he fired nine goals and collected 32 as-
sists. However, despite the fact his regular season's
play wasn't up to standards, in our book, he was the
cream of the crop in the money series. It's too bad
that playoff hockey isn't taken into consideration
when all-star balloting is accomplished but that's the
way the old ball bounces.
We doubt very much is Monsieur Harvey will
miss the extra $500 he would have collected if chosen
on the first team. What bothers us is the fact that
he was picked as the fourth best defencemanin the
league. The selectors put Canadiens' Tom Johnson,
Rangers' Bill Gadsby and Detroit's Marvel Pro.novost
ahead of the free -wheeling Harvey. Was he really
that bad? We'll bet the Royal Mint that if the top
brass of each teamput their all-star defensive units
on the block, the first one to be grabbed would come
under the name of Doug Harvey!
CUFF CLEANERS—Congratulations are in order for
Theresa Thompson for her fine showing in. the Exeter
Ladies' Bowling League finals against the Pin Pop-
pettes. Averaging 232 a game, she practically sank
the 'Poppettes single handedly. -A tip of the chapeau
is. also in store for the rest of the team. Hi -Lights
really whooped it up after the victory ... Pin Pop-
pettes had only one beef after it was all over. If
nature hadn't taken its course on so many of their
bowlers this year ... they would have won it all!
... How about that! ... Public schools throughout
the district are invited to take part in Lucan's An-
nual Hobby and Trade Fair Bicycle relays for the
fastest and slowest are reported to be on the agenda
. .Better hurry and file your entry! . It's good
to see the Cyclone Baseball League is going to
operate again. It's a crying shame nothing is being
done in Exeter this year! . . Chicago White Sox
kind of took Cleveland Indians off the warpath for
a few days with their sweep of their recent three -
game series. The Sox have won six out of nine from
the tribe this year - . . The Yanks are starting to
roll now and Smitty the barber is starting to cut
hair with a little more zest , . . Bowling is rapidly
coming to a close after a very successful. season.
Exeter Bowling Lane proprietors should be com-
mended on the way they handled things over the past
year Mitchell Red Devils are building their
Hockey club for the '59-'60 campaign ... See in the
Mitchell paper where ex -Mohawks Earl Barton and
Marvin Shantz and Murray Butcher have moved into
Mitchell. We hope they didn't forget "Barney's" per-
sonals from Stratford. We saw him walking the
streets. in the Shakespearian town last Wednesday
looking for something to do. He tells us that he is
going to work out with the Montreal Allouettes
again this fall. Hope you make it "Barney".
