COMMENTS By BILL. ;BATTEN, Sports Editor It took them a long time to do it, nut the Henn11-Zurich ,Combines proved they are one of tin.; most successful teams to operate in this area for several years and probably set records in Hensall that won't be broken for some time to come, A look at our files shows that the cwnbines have been toiling on the ice lanes for apiwoximake- ly half a year as they opened their season with a 5-5 draw in Exeter, on Friday, November 10 and concluded it with a 4-1 loss in Uxbridge on May 1, some 172 days and miles apart. In that span, the HensaII-Zurich crew won 27 games with their .original lineup and eight more with the addition of Ken Paddle and Terry Bourne from the Strathroy Rockets. Their season record was a very respectable 35-13-5. However, the most interesting point about this team was the number of fans who sat in the Hensall arena to watch them. With some quick calculation we would estimate that approximately 15,000 fans flocked through the door at Hensall to watch them perform. This is certainly very encouraging for local officials, because it proves that hockey isn't quite as dead as some may believe and we should also point out that this was the first year the Combines -had a team in the junior ranks. Not only that, but many of the players were playing their first year and so they should have -.another strong entry next season. After that, the -Players should be ready for intermediate play and ,we think most of them will be able to hold their •-'•own. Unfortunately though, most of them will probably be moving away from the area as they complete their education and some other town will receive the benefit of the hard work that minor officials in the towns of Hensall and Zurich have spent in developing these players. EVENLY MATCHED CLUBS At any rate, we send along coneratti%etions to the team and to Bob McKinley and George Beer who managed the squad and Bill McCrae who handled the coaching duties, it would have been a real feather in their cap to bring home the Ontario junior "D" title but they were beaten by a good team and should re- ceive commendation for their efforts. Man for man the Combines and the 'Uxbridge Chicks were about as even as any teams could be. We felt perhaps the Combines had a few classier players. but the new champs made up for this with their exceptionally fine positional play. They had a knack for getting the puck out of their own end and they usually had three men breaking up through when the puck did come to them. However,. the big man in the win would have to he Neil Wanamaker who starred in most of the games. He was the best neteninder they ran up against this year and was the big difference between the clubs, We kept track of shots on goal in all the games and it always worked out in favor of the Combines, hut they just couldn't get the puck in the net and that's what wins hockey games. For the Combines, we felt Ken FadeIle and Terry Bourne were the best on the ice and spark- ed the Hensall-Zurich crew with their untiring efforts. The pair proved they are real 'sportsmen when they would change uniforms after being beaten by the Combines and come back to help them into the Ontario final. DESERVES SUPPORT Now that we finally have hockey out of the way, we can concentrate on ball and golf which constitute the major sources of recreation in the area during the summer months, unless those fel- lows who sit around the beach scanning bathing beauties consider that to be sport. We received a notice this week from the Exeter Golf Club stating that their first workout was scheduled for last Friday night. Their list of activities for the coming months shows plenty of diversified action for area golfers, so if you're interested in joining the fun, we suggest you get in touch with a member of the club and join, the group. We should point out that we had a fellow in to see us the other day and he informs us that he was also sent a notice, but was a bit per- turbed over the fact they had planned most of their affairs for the Grand Bend course, and ap- peared to have neglected any play on the Exeter layout. He admitted. that the local course wasn't in the same class as the lakeside spot. but also pointed out that Allan Westcott was .spending cone siderable time and effort in an attempt to change that. Our caller felt the local club should have scheduled a couple of tournaments at the local course to help him along.. We agree with his reasoning and hope the club do schedule some play on the Exeter course. After all, while it is not a top-notch course as yet, it may never he if the proprietor doesn't receive arty support in the early stages to encourage him to continue his efforts. A WORD TO THE WISE While we have never heard of any accidents occurring on the local golf courses. we feel we should point out the following statistics to show local duffers that it can be a dangerous game unless everyone uses cdnsiderahle care, courtesy and common sense. Figures released by the Institute for Safer Living in. the United States show that 15,000 pt.r sons suffered disabling injuries last year on golf courses. The Institute points out that a hard-hit ball travels at speeds greater than 250 miles an hour and over half these injuries were caused by "trig- hallpY" players. Swinging clubs injured many others--people who simply stood too close to a fellow player while the club travelled in an arc at 200 milts per hour, Lightning, always a major hazard on open courses, was estimated to have killed 50 golfers , during the year, But heat prostration actually fell, ed more players, ranking third after golf halls and Swinging 668 as a disabling factor, We don't point this nut to scare any players away from the game, but merely to point nut that It tan be dangerous and to stress :once again that t are, courtesy anti common sense MUST be used at all times, vSYanuN REPEAT WINNERS,----For the second year in a row, the Exeter "R" team was pre- sented with the trophy emblematic of supremacy in their division of the Inter- town bowling league.
