The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1959-10-15, Page 6Pages 6 Th. Times -Advocate, October 15, 1959 Let's talk SPORTS By DON "BOOM BOOM" GRAVETT Sports Editor CANADIENS KNEE DEEP iN TALENT Business is booming once again in the Nation- al Hockey League. The six -team pack has already clipped its feet into the prolonged 70 -game '59-'60 schedule as some clubs (as this is written) have play- ed two and three games. Almost everybody and their uncle have chosen Montreal Canadiens to finish first in the standings. The reason is so obvious that its almost a waste of time to dwell on the subject. How- ever, to sum it up briefly, one just has to look at the power -laden lineup Canadiens' Coach Hector "Toe" Blake can ice. Unless something drastically happens, such as the Richards, Moore, Beliveau, Geoffrion, Harvey and the rest of then suddenly quit to take up ping pong, General Manager Frank Selke should have his fifth Stanley Cup resting in the Forum next April. The so-called experts are so sure that the Can- adiens will wind up on top that the Hockey News, sometimes called hockey's bible, picked the Canucks to finish first in 15 out of 18 ballots. The other three, who must be scratching their heads by now, gave the nod to Chicago, Boston and New York. The six - team standings went like this via the Hockey News: Montreal, Chicago, Toronto, Boston, New York and Detroit. As far as we're concerned it will be Montreal, Toronto, Boston, Chicago, Detroit and New York in that order. MAPLE LEAFS GOOD ENOUGH FOR SECOND? Choosing Toronto Maple Leafs to finish second may surprise a number of our readers. However, we have a strong hunch that the Maploes are on, the move again. And it's not just because they won their pair of opening games against the Hawks. Although Coach Punch Imlach carries a scarcity of hair under his chapeau, he is certainly a real mastermind in driving his serfs. Last winter Punch stirred up his mates so much. that they won their last five outings to nose out the Rangers for the fourth and final Stanley Cup playoff berth. After making the money series, the Leafs didn't stop until they met Canadiens for the Stanley Cup. Montreal more or less toyed with Conn Smythe's working machine as the men were separated from the boys. Imlach didn't have the bench strength to cope with the Canadien crew and his regulars were many in the rookie line. This semester could be different and this is why we have the hog town club perched in second. Punch has added some badly needed depth in Gary "Duke" Edmundson, Johnny Wilson, Al MacNeil and Ted Hampson. The other, like Carl Brewer, Bobby Baun, Ehman, Mahovolich and the rest, have gained another year's experience and they could be tough. Undoubtedly these fellows have gained poise and confidence after their Stanley Cup fling last spring. Our most important reason for picking the Leafs so high is the fact that they are in the best shape any Leaf club has been in for the beginning of a sched- ule. Last season, Toronto had to play four games before they won their first. Already they have two important wins under their belts. If the "Punchmen" are a week or two ahead of the other clubs in their conditioning programme, and it looks as though they are, these easy points in the first week or two of the schedule will look mighty big at the close. Boston is third mainly because of the "Uke" line. This high flying trio should Give Milt Schmidt many restful nights. The big question mark is goal- tending. If it stands up, they are good for the number three position. Last playoff position will be grabbed by Chicago. The Hawks have plenty of youthful legs on their club and one of the league's best netminders in Glen Hall. Detroit Red Wings, with old reliable Gordie Howe and a mixture of rookies and veterans, should evade the cellar this year. With someone like Howe leading the way, it should give the rest some- thing to shoot for. Fiery Phil Watson should be worse than ever this season, as to us his Broadway Blueshirts look to be going nowhere fast. CUFF CLEANERS -- We bumped into veteran Bill Walsh of the ice lanes in Stratford this week and William, tells us that he is seriously thinking of don- ning the blades once more. Now that Stratford is entering the hockey picture again, he wouldn't mind teaming up with them. Before he can do this, he has one knot to untie and that is getting the O.K. from the chief of police. Bill is on the department now . Chicago White Sox performed like a bunch of "'ham and eggers" in the Worlit Series with L.A. However, I guess we shouldn't condemn • them too much as they certainly didn't have the reserve bench strength to poke that long ball. Sports Illustrated picked L.A. over Chicago if the two clubs met and said that the "Go -Go" boys would knock off Mil- waukee or San Francisco. We'll learn to go with the experts. The series cost us a buck (10 cups of coffee) to Don Southcott ... One guy, rated as a solid hit- ter, really surprised us. His name is Billy Goodman. In three or four pinch-hit appearances, Billy looked like yours truly at the plate. I don't think he even fouled off a pitch. You certainly can't win a series with stuff like that. As Luis Aparicio said, maybe I can steal second and third, but I can't steal first! Got to hit to get there! ... Lucan arena is hum-* ming to the clamor of hockey sticks and skates as teams are holding continuous workouts on the ice. Lucan is the first rink in these parts to introduce the winter sport this season. /�,i umnnruumuUnnirllnlnutiiiiuifYOniin OnrilirlriuuYniihinruuiiinitiu[finmrwuiYutuuuld,YnuuuiiYr Warm Air Heating And ` Air Conditioning New Installations and Alterations LENNOX & ANTHES IMPERIAL FURNACES OiL BURNER SALES & SERVICE Lindenfields Ltd.

Carlyle Hymers, 17 -year-old halfback in his second season of senior football for Listowel, scored all of his winner's points. Hymers, who also excels in hoc- key over the winter months, booted four singles and carried over for a major, 2.0 at the half Listowel High led the ballgame 2-0 at half time. Hyhiers kicked a pair of first quarter singles from the 15 and 25 yard lines. Second quarter was scoreless al- though South Huron did threaten on two occasions getting down to the 10 and 15 yard lines before being held. In the third quarter, quarter- back Neil Eckel fired a screen pass to fullback Hymers who scampered 30 yards to pay dirt. Although the convert was missed, Hymers easily chalked yard line. The fourth and final quarter saw Hymers collect his tenth point of the afternoon after boot- ing a single from the visitor's 30 yard line. The 10.0 decision over South Huron marked the second time in the schedule that Listowel has come out on top in clashes be- tween the two clubs. In the Pan- ther's opening game of the sche- dule at South Huron, Listowel walked off with a 14-7 decision, Listowel 10, South Huron 0 SOUTH HURON — Centre, Bell; guards, Rader, Etherington: tackles, Utilens, Foster; ends, Blanchard, Ainacher; quarter, G3liing's; halves, Mae,Donald, Strang, Green; flying wing, t'hipchase; subs, 13.

It was strictly a Stratford show all the way as the winners scored a major in the first quarter and added three more converted touchdowns in the second to lead 27.0*a't the half. An uncon- verted third-quarter TD and a converted fourth quarter major finalized the scoring, 700 witness game About 700 fans saw the well publicized contest as part of the proceeds went to the Community Chest.

Some of these personal activi- ties a n d performances are: hockey, broomball, horseshoes, television, reading, cards, golf and music, to name only a few. All of these recreational med- iums offer to me in one form or another, a chance to participate, examine, experiment, a release of tensions, ideas, education, pleasure, and a more complete outlook on life. My own personal snake -up in any activity that 1 may partici- Larry's leads, 'B' bowlers Larry's Supertest and Wind- miils are top dogs in the Exe- ter Men's Bowling League. Supertest, sparked by Larry Rumpel's 604 triple, downed Paint Pot 4-0 to take over sole possession of first place in the "B" league. The group leaders hold a two point bulge over Up. starts, Cromarty Rollers and Im- perials who are all jammed in a three-way tie for second, While Cromarty Rollers and Imperials were held to one point by Kippen Tigers and Bankmonts respectively, Upstarts surged for- ward to force the three-way deadlock by stalling G.M.'s with a 3-1 count. In the "A" section, Windmills continued their red-hot pace with a 4-0 win over Tradesmen, W. Davidson's 727 was high for the winners while Eric Heywood top- ped the losers with a 630 per- formance. Red's Billiards and Milkmen each copped three points to keep pace with each other in the bat- tle for second place by downing Pepsi's and Big Six. Rockets, who took three from the Wildcats, moved into sole possession of fourth place with 10 points. Free Bowling Awards of the week went to A. Therien, high single, 338, Kingpins; Stan Frayne, high triple, 765, Big Six and D, Brunzlow, of G.M.'s, hidden score. Highest singles rolled on the alleys throughout the week came from Jim Hennessey '(327) and Lorne Passmore (318). "A" LEAGUE Red's Billiards (L. Cushman 703) 3 Pepsis (J.

I believe that through the par- ticipating of these activities that they have honestly educated my- self to accept defeat with grace and also, an appreciation of my opponents' ability. My observations and feelings about various groups, individu- als, service clubs, churches, etc., is that they should all combine their talents and work together, hand in hand, towards recrea- tion. They all use recreation at some time or another, usually with this thought in mind and that is "of furthering their own needs". One of the main faults of service clubs, and churches, is the weakness of measuring the recreation progress by fig- ures or by the financial state- ment. Rather, results should be measured by growth of char- acter of individual members and as a whole. My feelings towards recreation is that if it can accomplish a wholesome growth of character and all of the other things mentioned earlier, which I sin- cerely believe that it can, that recreation is definitely a good thing if used properly. If it is used strictly for financial gain, it ceases to be recreation to me and becomes a task of work and drudgery with very few benefits. I believe that recreation can be overdone if one participates in too many activities. You get to the point where you are rush- ing from one thing to another, going through the motions, but not really enjoying yourself and not receiving the maximum bene- fits that could be derived if you participated in only a few pro- grammes of your own choice. Some of the benefits that could be received from recrea- tion are: peace of mind, feel- ings of honesty, fair play, re- spect for the rights of others, racial and religious tolerance, patience, understanding, health, happiness, changed attitudes and feeling s, companionship and wholesome contacts with the op- posite sex, opportunity to belong to a group, desirable attitudes, skills, habits, appreciation. I believe recreation will take its proper place in society if we can prove to the communities its values. Not on attendance figures as to how many people attended our civic centres and playgrounds, but the results in the individual as a result of their recreation experience. Rec- reation must justify itself in terms of human values by its contribution to the health, hap- piness and social efficiency of those who participate.

Dogs chase Poppettes Pin Poppettes continue to hold a five point lead in the Exeter Ladies Bowling League but Hot Dogs are coming fast. The Dogs, behind Mary Holtz - man's 719 triple; ripped into the Merry Maids for seven points to climb into a two-way tie for sec- ond place with the Happy Gals. Despite Norma Coleman's 648 performance, Gals had difficulty with Wee Hopes as they came out on the short end of a 5-2 de- cision. With the Hot Dogs picking up seven and the Happy Gal two, the five point gain by the Dogs gives them a share of second place, Jblly Jells, only one point back of the second place clubs with 25, had a real battle on their hands with the Mighty Mice but finally won out 4-3.
