The two teams played their second contest in Lucan last night and the series moves back to Port Dover, Friday, If a fourth game is needed it will be played in Lucan on Monday and a fifth, if necessary, will be in Port Dover. The win by the Lucan-Ilderton six gave them an outstanding record of 30 wins in the 31 games they have played this year. Their only loss was to Centralia Golden Hawks in the last game of the regular schedule. So, while the fans from the same centres are still filling the rinks they aren't cheering against each other now and the one cry that is heard in unison in Lucan, Ilderton, Hensall and Zurich is: "GO COMBINES, GO'" H-Z six cop opener first line trigger six Playing before another sell- grounds through most of the out crowd in Hensall, Wednes- first period as they both miss- day, the. llensall-Zurich Coin- ecl on several excellent oppor- bines posted a decisive 7.2 win [unities and both goalies came over New hamburg to draw up with key saves, first blood in their OHA best- However, the Combines took of-five semi-final. a 1-0 lead at the 17:12 mark The Halins failed to provide and they never looked back, as much opposition as .fans Bill Shaddick was the marks- expected and couldn't stop man on the play which was Hensall Zurich's two speedy set up by Wagner.

RING P,PAT.H STIRS ACTION, The sport of boxing which has had .son- siderable .difficulty keeping its head alsove water Over. the .past few years clue to charges it is being run by gamblers and thugs. "went under" ..for the :Second time last ‘reek when Benny "Kid" .Paret died following his fight with Emile Griffith. His death has caused consideralle uproar and legislators south of the border have already instituted action to have the sport banned, because, as one official labelled it. it is "public slaughter". This is certainly not the first death that has happened in the boxing ring. but it is draw- lug mech more eminent than any we live heard about before and this is probably because it was a championship fight and was witnessed by a large television and ring-side audience. We don't have the figures in front of us, but we think a conservative estimate of the number of ring deaths would add up to well over 50 and there have been as many as six recorded in one year. Due to the fact we never ‘vitnessed the fight sve cannot form an opinion as to \vhethei the fight should have been stopped before Griffith delivered the last of his 26 straight blows in the 12th round, but it appears that referee Ruby Goldstein has been relieved of all responsibilities because Paret never did fall down and he was known as a fighter who made several comebacks in similar situations when most men would have dropped. Griffith has admitted that he wanted to beat Paret badly as he was angry at him due to previous comments the former welterweight made about him. However. he can hardly be blamed as boxing is one sport where the purpose is to hit your op- ponent as hard and as often as you can and that's exactly what the champion did. It has been suggested that Paret never should have been fighting as it was his third bout in a very short time and he had been knocked out twice in less than a year and a half. However, the es-champion is dead and there really is no point in laying the blame anywhere, except at boxing in general which is being done by many people at the present time. BY HIS OWN CHOICE Due to the fact boxing has been cancelled on local TV stations for several years. we have' lost rhost of our interest in the sport and are in no position to say that it is crooked and ill-managed and should certainly be banned. However, we do have a couple of points to make and you can take them for what they are worth. First of all, most of these boxers are fairly intelligent chaps and should certainly know enough about the sport to realize it is dangerous. After 'all, any sport that has its main goal to batter your opponent into unconsciousness has to be con., sidered rather brutal at the least. We imagine most of these pugilists realize that after they have been hit often enough in the region of their cranium a few things are going to get knocked loose and their facial features are apt to be rearranged drastically over the period of their fighting careers. However, perhaps the lure of the big money, which was $50,000 in Paret's case for his last fight, is enough to overshadow these facts and entice brawny chaps into the sport. In our opinion this is certainly their own choice under our democratic way of life and as far as people being subjected to sitting around watching such cruelty, this is all hog-wash, People pay big money to watch the fighters perform and it is very simple to turn off a TV set if you don't happen to like what is on the screen. We are not particularly sticking up for the sport as we think it is rather stupid, but if the governments in Canada and the United States are going to ban the sport, we suggest they should also ban automobile driving, airplanes, smoking and other types of dangerous practices that kill more people in one week than boxing has since it started. ,Not only that, they might consider cutting . cut body-checking m hockey, confine football to touch-rugby and make ball players use sponge balls, bats and spikes, if they are so concerned with the safety of persons participating in sport. These examples may be stretching a point, but our main argument is that the career or voca- tion a man chooses is his own doing or undoing. BATT'N AROUND — The Exeter Curling Club finished its season with a superlative banquet last Wednesday that certainly matched the success the club has enjoyed this past year. Local curlers won several boaspiel awards this year not only at their own risk, but around the country as they travelled extensively to tackle the best in other centres. We send along final congratulations to the winners and best wishes to the losers who will undoubtedly be back to try their luck again next year as curling . has certainly dominated the local scene . and we think it will continue to do so . For those of you who are interested in 'mathe- matics, it might r.vell be worth your time to sit Clown and figure out how much the six owners. in the NHL haul in at the gate each year.
