The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1961-06-22, Page 8IDERODING DEE PRONATION MYTH! NO 8 'The 'Volts.Adves@tot June 224 1961 4 BANTER By PERRY BCYLE THISPERSONALITY We people interested in minor sport or sport of any JOnd are going to miss F/L Moe Gobeit, the sports officer at RCAF Centralia who has been posted Overaeas, We wish him the best of luck., Before he goes, I would like to express our gratitude for the help he has given to the Exeter sporting scene, Through him, we nave been fortu- nate to bring to our minor hockey banquets some of hockey's biggest names, including Doug Harvey and "Boom Boom" Geer- frion. He has been instru- mental obtaining sizable grants and equipment for our minor hockey program In. which the Centralia boys participate, He has lent his coaching t a 1 e 11 t Saturday mornings and helped in many other ways. Moe graduated from the University of Montreal with a B.A. degree in 1941. He's married and has one son, Charles. He served in the RCAF from 1942 to 1946, then returned to school. In August, 1949, he returned to the service •as recreation of- ficer. F/L MOE GOBEIL , Hockey fans who watched the station team, win its way to the training command championship in 1957 by defeating Winnipeg in Exeter in the finals will remember grey-haired Moe faking, Suck- ing in checks, then feeding perfect setup passes to Bill Franklin (who also played with Exeter Mo- hawks). He was always a gentleman on the ice (and speak from experience since I refereed a lot of the games). No matter how bad the• call, Moe never questioned it. He also won the station golf title in 1960 He plays a fine game of tennis and was an infielder on the softball team. His son Charles seems to be following the pattern as he can hit a golf ball well and played a good game of hockey in our house league. We hope that Moe will remember our district as well as we'll remember him. "Bon voyage". RAIN TAKES MANY FORMS Everything and anything can happen on a golf course. A couple of weeks ago at Oakwood one of the town's leading sports figures, Lloyd Cushman, was playing with a -friend (I hope) when the large black clouds swept in from the north- west as both players advanced on No. 6 fairway. Cushman was playing his second shot about 22 yards from the tee. His friend, taking his 12th stroke about 15 yards to the south, shouted, "The rain's coming", then wound up and hit a tremencl- ous drive of 10 feet. Just then, Cush raised his hand to test the air and sure enough it fell—a golf club that is. Had not rain been threatening, he would have had a sore head instead of hand, "AIN'T IT THE TRUTH?" They always come back to naunt you. Thurs- day, June 15, was a good example of this when Kirkton opened the H -P baseball season in Exeter by defeating the home club 4-2. • Leading the visitors was none other than • our "Willie" Waghorn, who started his ball and hockey career in our minor setup. Add to this the baffling southpaw slants of Bobby Dobson, who played bantam and midget with Exeter as well as • in the Cyclone league. The newlywed pitched a superb game. And last, but not least, was young Barry Brintnell, son of old pro Wiley Brintnell, who starred for years with Hensall, the boundary team, Exeter and. others. Barry has played pee wee for • two years, bantam for two more and we were figuring on him for shortstop on this year's midget team. However, with his work at home on the farm and playing short for Kirkton, he feels he can't play midget. It's our less because Barry has the makings of a fine player, * • ' 'TWAS A BUSY NIGHT The same night, the centre diamond was buzzing with pee wee aspirants under Red Loader and. Gord Baynham and if their enthusiasm con- tinues there'll never be any need to bring in im- ports in the future. These boys really jump. I don't envy Red his job of selection of personnel. He tells me we need a squirt team as well. After an hour or so -of practice, they gave up the diamond to the bantam's under Jerry Smith, that rabid Los Angeles' supporter and former Ex- eter catcher. With one night' S practice, Smith's dub won Friday's opener with RCAF Centralia in a 3-2 squeaker, It's good to see Huron Park lads back in baseball, With fellows like Cpl. Calber ry and Tom• iny Burke giving of their time and abilities to de- velop these young players. Huron Park teals° rep- resented in -the pee wee division. Weg moved over to the softball field where Aub Farquhar's softball team was host to Wing - ham in a WOAA fixture. Here was another tight battle which, like the baseball genie, went to the visitors 2-1.

Watching his stroke are Ulric Snell, Charles Smith, Ray Mills, owner Allan Westcott and Roy Westcott, Quite a number of local golfers tried out the course over the weekend. Although temporary greens and tees are in use at the moment, most golfers were impressed with the layout. —T -A photo Exeter pee wees down Centralia The Exeter Pee Woes spoiled the first game of the year for Centralia, a new entry into' the league, when they swamped the CE boys 21-5. David Cowan pitched a strong game on the mound for Exeter although he was taken out late in the game to give some pitch- ing experience to a couple of other young chuckers. Ricky McDonald was the big gun for ;Exeter. He smashed out two .singles and a like number of doubles. Five play- ers picked up three hits each at the plate. The five were Allan DfAlliard, Larry Willed, Paul Mason, John Loader and Cordie Greenacrc. Two hits were banged out by David Cowan, Tilike Nagel and Brian MacArthur. Single hits went to Peter Lawson, Bev Prest and Barry Baynhain. It was the first game of the year for both clubs and it was the first game in a number of years for the newly -formed Centralia.
