Editor ALOUETTES. ARE SEEKING HIS SERVICES Few members of the student body at South. Huron District High School may realize it, but they presently have one o€ Ontario's top fleet -footed ath letes in their #midst, Ronald Lawrence Bogart, good looking, 6'1", 21.0 -pound graduate of the Ontario Agricultural Col- lege, Guelph, is on the list of the Montreal Alouettes of the Big Four Football Union, as one of their hope- fuls in the field of Canadian football talent. Harvey .Johnston, who once pi- loted Kitchener - Water- loo Dutchmen of the Senior ORF1J and who is now head scout of Canadian talent for the Big Four club, has been after the services of Bogart for a year naw. Ron, in an interview with Johnston, was told that his playing abilities more than pleased the Montreal scout — and that they should. Bo- gart, who is in his 25th year, romped to the league scoring title last year with 84 points, made up of 14 touch- downs. All of these points were scored in the last five games of the schedule as the South Huron teacher missed the first contest because of an injury in an exhibition game against Western Mus- tangs. Waterloo, Mc- Master, Royal Military College (Kingston), Guelph and two clubs from Ottawa made up the six -team league in which he copped the scoring title. Bogart played halfback and fullback on either side for the OAC Redmen. Now you may ask why the South Huron teacher didn't accept Johnston's offer? Well, the answer is simple. Bogart put his schooling first. He told the Montreal scout while in Guelph that he had two years of summer school to complete before he could accept his offer. Just two weeks ago, Johnston called him again, but Ron said he still had a year to go in his summer school train- ing. RON BOGART TAKES THE INJURIES IN STRIDE The South Huron high school teacher is ' an all- around athlete. He likes to play baseball and hockey, but most of all football. Born in St. Thomas, Ron started his football career when in grade 11 of the high school there and has been at it ever since. Making the London and District All-Star Conference team two years in a row showed he had plenty on the ball for the gridiron game. In injuries, Ron has had his share. In football, the halfback has suffered a concussion and a gash in the leg that took •nine stitches to close. In baseball, he suffered broken ribs. In the first outing of the season with the WOAA In- termediate Exeter Mohawk Hockey Club, he collected fdur stitches over the eye after being hit by a flying puck. However, he's not discouraged. Ron is just as keen for the game as ever. Elaine Campbell of St. Thomas and 'Ron ex- changed wedding vows six months ago and are hap - pity living in an Exeter apartment. As Ron says, "I haven't any rolling pin bruises so I must be happily married!" Before we close, we'd like to say that if Ron does decide to take up the Montreal offer after he completes his schooling, we'd like to wish him the very best of luck because we have known others who have taken this course and have found the grind a tough one. PLOEN DID A MAN-SIZED JOB IN THIS ONE It's old news today that the Winnipeg Blue Bombers dropped all their eggs in the first and last quarters of Saturday's game to retain Canadian foot- ball supremacy an dthe Grey Cup for all the hearty Western fans, But outside of the outcome of the game itself, we feel many things were proved to the 33,000 or so spectators that witnessed the whole affair at the CNE E'tadium in Toronto. First of all, Winnipeg has two great quarter- backs, A young man by the name of Kenny Ploen had a big pair of shoes to fill when he took over for the injured Jim Van Pelt. The shoes were so big in fact that Somber coach Bud Grant worried more than most people know right up until game time. Suprisingly enough though, possibly even to Grant himself, Ploen filled Van Pelt's shoes to perfection. He put on a tremendous show calling both offensive and defensive plays, Ploen's antics were so effective that we felt 1;e surpassed those of Van Pelt in last year's spectacle, The Winnipeg quarter kept the Tiger Cats just pawing and eating out of his hand. The only time Hamilton scratched was when they kicked. In the booting department, Cam Fraser and Charlie Shepherd only differed on an average of about four yardsper punt but the Winnipeger seemed to get the big ones away at the most opportune time. Although Ploen was helped out of some tight spots by kicking and some fine running was needed, he had his Bombers well loaded for this one. He dropped more thorns into the sides of the Cats with his defensive and offensive calls than enough, Two big plays took place when Hamilton had a first down on the Winnipeg two-and-a•half yard line and didn't score. Offensively, , Ploen caught the whole stadium, w when ngtossed an payoff Douglas flat-footed he p y pass to speedy Ernie Pitt. Everyone, including yours truly, thought he would Just run out the clock with only 20 seconds to go. Another big defensive move Was recovering Gerry lames' fumble mid -way through the fourth quarter, Many stars are born in such a sudden death classic as this. Ori the other hand, several qt, the big wheels turn but to be goats. Along with Ploen hit- ting the herons column, Tinsley and Savoie With their crunching tackles and Charlie.Shepard with his score frig spree and booming kicks shone brightly. In fact, everyone Ott the W. tern club deserves a pat on the back, Janes Could have been the goat of the whole 75, 777 I. ribers t'i..:uru-man .sb OW halts Mitchell; -I Combines skate to three victories Sararas scores 11. re in 5-4win Mohawk right winger Andy Sararas exploded for three goals in Mitchell Tuesday night to pace Exeter Mohawks tohad earned 54 victory e'er the: R.- Devils, The tribe forward turned in his best .display of the •season as he beat Ernie Little, between the pipes for Mitchell, once in the first and twice in the third. The big one came at 16:54 of the final period when he and Terry Wade combined to put We Mohawks into the lead fir the first time in the game, Other tribe marksmen were Jim Russell and Terry Wade. Mary Shantz, Doug Smith, Gord Walters and Harold Lingard blinked the light for I1litchell. Mohawks turn it on! Exeter Mohawks only iced a 10 -man lineup and although be- hind on the scoresheet most of the way, threatened continually to go out in front. The twq clubs left the ice at the end of the first period dead- locked 2-2. Mitchell grabbed a 4-2 second period lead but Exeter bounced right back into the lime- light with three unanswered third period tallies. Mary Shantz opened the scor- ing with a blistering drive from 20 feet out at 6:20. Winger Jim Russell tied it u.p when. he flipped a loose puck in front of the Mitchell cage over the prostrate form of Ernie Little at 7:19. Just 21 seconds later, an un- covered Doug Smith at the left of the Mohawk cage, potted the Red Devils second counter after Ernie, Wall and Harold Lingard had worked the play into posi- tion. However, just before the period ended, Sararas found the range for his first of three. Mitchell came out strong in i over Devils the middle stanza as Gord 1Val- ters and Lingard found the range. Only some solid goaltending. on. the part of Ernie Little kept the Mehawks off the scoresheet as they threatened. on numerous oc- Basions. t Finally in the third, the tribe broke through. Sararas, with a I fine bit of forecheeking behind the iditchell net, hooked the puck into the short side to cut Mitchell's lead to 4-3. Terry 1 wade pushed a loose puck into. i the net at 7:47 after Little had made an initial save. It was anybody's game after that. Sar- oras settled the issue when he took a clearing pass out of the Exeter zone and- combined with i Wade for the winner, 1 EXETER 5, MITCHELL 4 EXETER -- Goal Dietrich; de- fence, Stephen, 1Vestenhoefel; (en tre, Baynham; wings, Wade.

Mohawks snap streak by blasting Forest Exeter Mohawks put the brakes on their two -game losing streak Friday night in the local arena by dumping the hapless Forest Lakesides 7.4 but were far from their potential in doing it. The victory was the second registered by the Mohawks in four outings. Erratic shooting played a ma - jar rale in the contest as it kept the score very reasonable. Off- colour shooting inside the Forest blueline by tribe snipers was very prominent throughout the game. Continuous solid defensive moves were also on the slack side by the tribe although on the whole they were better than in their last outing against Lucan- Ilderton Combines Wednesday night. Forest capitalized for three of their four goals when they caught Mohawks flat footed. 'Terry Wade glitters One bright spat in the 7-4 vic- tory was the three goal splurge turned in by right winger Terry Wade. Wade, a local product, clicked for a pair of unassisted n.arkers and then cashed in with a beautiful effort at the 12:00 t_inute mark of the 'second per- iod. He took a pass front blue - liner Keith Stephens to complete his hat -trick. Larry Heideman, Bill Oberle, "Red" Loader and "Boom" were the other Mohawk marksmen. Forest, who only had 11 men on the lineup sheet, divided their goals three ways. Marvin Mc- Gregor rallied for two second period tallies while "Tussy" Dunham and Ron Shepley look - Midgets dump Oakridge Acres Sparked by two -goal perform- ances from Ricky Boyle and Mike Cushman, Exeter Kinsmen Midgets dumped Oakridge Acres 6-2 in the local arena 'Friday night in a hard fought contest prior to the intermediate Forest - Exeter clash. Freddy Wells and Fred Lamb were the other Exeter snipers while Brian Kilb and lion Harris found the range for the losers, Besides miring one goal himself, Wells also collected a pair of assists in helping .t the winning cause along. The two clubs were tied 1-1 at the end of the first period but Exeter took a 2-1 edge after the second. . The winners out- scored Oakridge 4.1 in the final frame to wraq up their second victory in three tries in the Shanirock Minor Hockey League, EXETER 6, 0, ACRES 2 First period 1--19Xelet'.

Power play backfires Two of the Lakeside goals were scored 56 seconds apart when Marvin McGregor pumped home a pair of quickies while teammate Bob Martin was sit- ting but a two minute kneeing penalty and a 10 minute mis- conduct. McGregor's first one at 4:58, was a softie. The puck trickled between "Buddy" Diet- rich's skates after being shot from just inside the Exeter blue- Combines tackle steaks line. His second was handed to him on a silver plater. Don , Gravett flipped a rebound right onto his stick as he cruised right in on the Exeter net. The pair of quickies put Forest right back in the game, tempor- arily at least, as it cut Exeter's lead to 3-2. However, Playing Coach Jim Loader beat Ed Sum- mers in the Forest cage with a drive from the' point at 10:44 and the tribe was on its way again. Before the period ended, Terry Wade had chalked up his second and third goals of the night. Centreman Bill Oberle returned to action and set Mohawks off• on the right foot with an early first period goal. Larry Heide- man slapped home a hot one in the dying minutes of the third period to help offset a couple of earlier third period goals by a • hungry Forest crew. EXETER 7, FOREST 4 TRIBE 'SHARPSHOOTERS—Two of Mohawks most potent men around the net this week have been two right wingers in the persons of Andy Sararas (left) and Terry Wade (right). Both players turned in hat-trickss to help the tribe out of the doldrums. Sararas made his three -goal splurge against Mitchell Tuesday night while Wade played an important part in sinking Forest in Exeter last Friday. Fight for lea There may :be two intermediate "A," teams in the Western On- tario Athletic Association's ntun- ber one group before the week is out. Becatlse of the fuss kicked up by Lucan-Ilderton Combines and Exeter Mohawks about playing personnel, Mitchell may be forced to enter the "A" cate- gory in order to legally keep the majority of the players they are presently using, If Mitchell should go "4", they would be in the same classifica- tion as Exeter. Lucan - Ilderton Combines and Forest Lakesides. would be .the only two "B" teams left. Philipsburg Chevs and Zurich Flyers have filed ap- pliptioifs with the WOAA for flomebrew "B" entries, Combines in high gear Lucan-Ilderton Combines, after losing their first two outings, have shifted into high gear and have won three in a row. This Week they downed Exeter, Zurich and Forest to gain a share of first place in the league stand- ings, Exeter Mohawks shook off a two -game losing streak by down- ing Forest and Mitchell, Mitchell, Exeter and the L -I Combines are causing a traffic jam for d sweaters,fiwso lPslsaecsutov s td h tth r ee► msand in contest here Friday Two important things are at stake Friday night for Exeter juveniles when they meet Lucan in the local arena in an 8:00 p,m, contest. First of all, Exeter under the guidance of coach Bill Batteta, will tangle with Jim Freeman's Lucan juveniles in a battle for first place in the Shamrock Minor Hockey League standings. Neither club 'has lost a game and in their only meeting to, date, they battled to a thrilling 44 tie. Lucan has a one point edge on first place with two wins and a tie. Exeter presently stands second with one win and two ties but they intend to move into undisputed possession of first place Friday night. Club needs sweaters There will be a 250 admission charge to see the game mainly because' the local club is des- perate. The juveniles, sponsored by the Exeter Recreation Coun- cil, are badly in need of sweaters. In fact, they can't ice a full club with all the,same sweaters. The Recreation Council hasn't the necessary funds to purchase their requirements so tl)e 254 charge is being made with the Viope that sufficient money can be raised. Tickets are being printed and even if you are unable to attend the game, the local players and coach would appreciate it if you would buy one of the 250 tickets to help them along. Local club is strong Exeter has two solid forward units and three strong defence combinations to use against Lu - can. "Whitey" Illingworth centres Lloyd Moore and Bev Irvine on one line while Frank Boyle, Jack Stephan and Bob Jones form another potent trio. The local blueline brigade con- sists of Bill Heywood, Gerald McBride, Pete Ravelle and Ozark "Ike" Gibbs. Rounding out the forwards are Gord Strang, Bev Sims and Allen Busche. 'Young Jerry Cooper guards the twine and although still of mid- get age, he turns in a very con- crete job. Cooper seems to im- prove every time out. Lucan is made up mostly of last year's midgets that won the OHA midget "D" championship. Many people in town who have seen the local juveniles in action are simply amazed at the calibre of play they turn in. The kids would apreciate your support at the gate Friday night.

"When I heard Exeter was entering an 1 intermediate "A" club and our own boys were staying in • the "B" category, I promised them all free steaks if they beat Exeter," Harvey told Exeter club personnel. "I'm hap- py now that I can fulfill my promise!" Combines were really out for revenge in this one and they skated the tribe into the ice al- most at every turn. The winners took a late 1-0 lead in the first period and never looked back. They ran the count to 4-0 at the end of the second period and then exchanged a pair of third period tallies. Storey triggers two Steve (Verne) Storey engineer- ed two of the Combines count- ers. Al Lortie, Torn Collings, Pete Findley and Playing Coach Harry, Wraith fired the others. Jimmy Russell and Larry • Heideman scored for Exeter. Al Lortie, a newcomer to the Combines, slammed in the game's initial marker at 18:43 of the first period when he found an open corner and pumped Jerry Lukash's rebound into the twine. Harry Wraith polished off a five -man ganging attack into the Exeter, zone at 15:43 of the sec- ond for a 2-0 lead.
