Pap. b The TimesrAcivogate, ,OctgItter 25, 1902, Juniors prep for openers Locals tie Lucan in. exhibition oader signs to coach ..Combines tfiftot. •••,•• • •diAa COTTON $ COMMENTS By BiLL BATTEN, Sports Editor Exeter and Lucan juniors. prepping for .their opening tilts In the eight-team Shamrock "D" loop, played to a 5-5 tie. in an exhibition match. in Lucan are- na, Friday, Tt WAS the first time on the ice for both clubs, but they Planned the game due to the fact they both were having dif- ficulty securing ice time for practices, and the locals ac- epted the invitation of Luean coach, john Roberts, to share the ice, The local squad, under coach Reg MacDonald, opened up a 4-1 lead at the end of the first period, but had to come up with a single tally in the final stanza to tie with the Lucan six who had moved ahead with four unanswered markers in the middle frame, Lucan started the scoring with Don Coughlin teaming up with shifty Bill Neil to blink the light behind Leslie Howard after only a few minutes' play in the game, Exeter came back to knot the count at one each when Gary Parsons dented the twine at the 0:04 mark and Bob Jones sent them into a 2-1 lead at the 9:49 mark on a play with Jim Smith. Lester Heywood gave them a .(evo-goal margin about two min- utes later and Fred Wells took a pass from Parsons with only 12 seconds left in the stanza to climax their four-goal spree. Neil on spree However, led by little Bill Neil, the hosts came up with four of their own markers in the second period to move into a 5-4 lead. Neil blinked the light three limes in succession in the first 11 minutes to even the count and Joe O'Neil gave them the lead on a play with Tim Alec at the 15:05 mark. Exeter was playing a man short on two of Neil's Lucan managed to hold their slim margin throughout most of the final period, but young Bob Marehilton teamed up with Pete McFalls and Dale Turvey to heat Bill Darling for the equalizer. Exeter picked up six of the eight penalties in the tilt, in- cluding a 10-minute misconduct to Dale Turvey in the eeeeed period. Young squads Both coaches of the two area squads will have comparatively young players in their lineups this 'year, as Exeter has only six regulars left from last sea- son and Lucan are entering, for their first try in the popular junior loop, • It took them a long time to do it, but the proud New York Yankees have proven once .again that they are the best baseball team in the world, and although many baseball, fans still won't give them this credit, they have the money to prove it. Besides being one of the longest world series on record, the 1962 affair will certainly have to go clown in the record books as one of the closest affairs staged as the Giants actually WW1 on total score by a 21-20 count. However, it's games that count and the Yankees won the extra one to take home the extra . $4,000.00 winners' share of the rich pot. Pitching was undoubtedly the predominant , aspect of the series, although several key defens- :ive plays by players on both squads aided the strong arms of Ford. Terry, Stafford, Pierce, San- lord and O'Dell in their winning efforts. Most of the "big names" in the battinr orders of both teams failed to live up to theft expectations, as is often the case in this fall :classic, but Mickey Mantle would probably have to get the nod as the most disappointing figure in the set with his pathetic batting average, but he'll probably be excuse-1 by most ardent Yankee fans as he was instrumental in getting the Bronx Bomb- ers into the set in the first place. Naturally in such a keenly contests _I series there are one or two plays in every game where one can look back and note that "if" it had been different, the game may have had a different out- come, This was certainly brought to the fore- ground in the bottom of the ninth in the final game when the Giants hail a wonderful opportun- ity to either tie it up or win. If Felipe Alou or Chuck Hiller had been able to lay down their attempted bunts and move Matty Alou to second they could have tied it, or if Willie McCoYey's smash had been a foot or two to the right, Richardson may not have made the catch and the Giants could have won. However, this is baseball, and these "if" situations are what make it so exciting. And, no ' matter how you were betting, the 1962 series would have to be described as exciting even though the pitching did dominate. HERE WE GO AGAIN We attempted to make the preceding jargon sound as though we weren't too concerned over the fact we had lost half our life savings (50 cents) • betting on the Giants. but if you read carefully between the lines you may spot a few salty tears. However, after w riting it we realized it was about time we came up with our annual predic- tions for the NHL. so we set aside our soaked handkerchief with the expectation of recouping :our losses on our annual infallible hockey prognos- tications. But, after giving Friday morning's stand- ings a quick perusal, we realized that it would take considerable polish to ever get our trusty crystal ball into shape to sec \\ hat may happen during this season. You can well imagine our glee in noticing that our favorite Detroit Red Wings were off and running without a defeat and were leading the league by three points. However, after giving away all my Gordie Howe trading cards after the way in which they disappointed we last year, I decided to use a bit of discretion before picking them to remain on their lofty perch throughout their remaining 66 contests. Actually, we still find it difficult to go with anyone except the Montreal Canadiens, who have annexed the league title more times than their opposition would wish to recall. They are having netminding problems m fth Jacques Plante being confined to the infirmary, and we still think they are a bit light on defense. But the old story that the best defense is a good .Of- fense still holds true and they have a power-packed forward unit that can break out with five or six goals in any contest. They undoubtedly have a hand of the most "brittle" and injury-prone players in the circuit, but a healthy Canadien team is still the best in the league. Our choice for the number two spot would be the Chicago Black Hawks. who are off to their usual slow start. But there's no indication that this club that went to the Stanley Cup finals last year have bast any strength and their usual second half burst will make them strong contenders, There appears to be nothing but sentiment In our choice of Detroit for third spot, because there are no real Illajeer lineup changes in this club that ended in fifth place last year. Flows. ever. Terry Sawchuk, who claims ht's gaining confidence with the use of a face mask, could have one at his better seasons and if assist- ant coafii Gordie Howe can impart some of his vast knowledge to the younger players on the team. they could easily make it. In dropping Toronto, last year's champions, all the way to fourth would appear to he utter nonsense, but Johnny Bower has seen better days as have Red Kelly and Allan Stanley, who along with the departed-Bert Olmstead were key figures last season. It would appear to be a toss-up between Boston and New York for the cellar position, but we'll give the nod to the Rangers to grab the rather dubious honors. Boston appear to ha.ve solved sonic of their goaltending problems with the .acquisition of Bob Perreault and sonic of their younger stars should blossom more this season. • Gump Worsley appears to he having chili- tufty in blocking shots in New York and we think. Doug Harvey is nearing the end of his brilliant career. although he still i5 t011SitielTd to be worth $35,000.00 in the estimation of Lyn Patrick. The Rangers have three fine rookies who could give Rathgate, Prentice and Rebeftton some help in tho sebring department, but they need a bit of seasoning, So, that's Montreal, Chicago, Detroit, Toren. te. Boston and New York, but we expect this season will bring about the keenest race hi recent years and the standings could juggle quite tre. tparitiy, The Exeter Minor Hockey can't afford it," Gravett slat- will be brought before the Association, organizing for a ed. three league convenors and the busy winter schedule, approv- The group also set up a roc dieretor and any players ed a plan to assess two-thirds family plan for those who smoking in the arena will face of their minor players a have three or more boys play- four-week suspensions. registration fee of 53.00 for the ing in the minor setup and the Smoking among the minor coming season and a charge maximum charge for any one pl a y ers h a s b een a pro bl em i n of 53,00 for the remaining family will be $10,00. recent years and the bantam young puckstcrs.
