Proceeds of the game, wit- nessed by close to 60C fans, were turned over to young Geor2,e, Crocker, London's Tim- my, who officiated at the open- ing faceoff ceremony.. Representing the London Crip- pled Children's Treatment Cen- tre, the bright-eyed youngster was presented with a cheque for 8205,66 by league business manager, Don Buddo, fie was also given a stick autographed by the entire Hen- salt-Zurich team, anti along with the other fans watched the ex- citing tilt between the two powerful clubs. Althongh they lost the game,. the Combines gave every indi- cation that they will still be the team to beat this year as they matched strides with the best the league could offer and actually out-played them throughout most of the Rolling in first Tir first period produced most of the scoring as the learns potted four each in the 20 minutes with the Combines coming from behind on all four oaeasions, Watford's Ray Manders open- ed the scoring at the 2:80 mark on the first shot the all-stars List draws for curlers had against Dennis Mock. He picked up a loose puck and lifted a back hander that slid under .hock's leg into the bot- tom corner, Young Craig Chapman evened the count in less than a minute when he fired a low drive Un- der a defender's leg that was past Strathroy's Lanny Brown before the goalie had a chance to rove to block it. Exeter's Bob Jones, one of the best players on the ice, sparked the all-stars on his sec- ond trip on the ice and assist• ed on a pair of tallies that gave them a 3.1 margin. lie won the faceoff in the J-f-Z end on the first and Jim Brush was in the right spot to tip his back-bander past Mock. The third goal was one of the nicest plays of the when Jones picked up the puck at centre and after deicing a lone defender, flipped the disc to Exeter's Dale Turvey who made no mistakes as he broke in alone on Mock. Combines come back The homestet's came roaring back at the 6:01 mark to whittle the lead to one goal when Bob Hoffman deflected Larry Be- dard's point shot into the net and then tied it up three min- utes later when Shaddick was set up on a nifty play by new- comer Ron Livermore. The all-stars regained the lead at the 11:25 mark when Manders came back to score his second goal of the night when he teamed up with his Watford mates, Lyle Moffat and Larry Burns to heat Mock. However. Livermore evened the count once again in the last two minutes when he tipped in another of Bedard's blazing shots from the point. The .C.Onibinet took their first lead at the 4:45 mark of the middle frame when John varr ley blasted home a hard drive from the point after being set up by Livermore and Paul Draper.

"Willert has his usual fine sheet of ice in the local arena, the hockey liepe, full around town will get into fell swing and. there are eeveral noteworthy points to mention regerding the upcoming season. The first and foremost perhaps is the ab- sence gf an intermediate puck squad in town, the fleet, time this has occurred in a number of years. It will undoubtedly be a disappointment for some. bet under the present situation and the experience of the past two or three years, perhaps it is actual- ly a .good thing. Hockey interest in Exeter has been on a steady decline for the past three or four years and reached a low ebb last season when the EN- eter Mohawks finished out of the playoffs in tilt honiebrew league and didn't average any mar - , than '15 fans per game. This certainly marked the end of a regin - for this community which for a number of yea was one of the bigger names in intermediai hockey in Ontario and there was little hope tI4 any major rebuilding would take place this wente to rekindle any interest among players, manage. meet and fans. This marked decline can be attributed to a number of circumstances, but we feel the main one was that the fans have 'been spoiled hy the high calibre of hockey they witnessect when players were imported from throughout this section of the province and they weren't interested in watching the naturally poorer type of hockey when the local boys took to the ice lanes. This attitude is very disappointing to us and certainly shows a lack of community spirit, • but it is one of those things that can't be changed • over night and we feel it is best to sit out for at * least, a year rather than continuing at this low period, which if maintained. for too long, could drag interest into a hole that we couldn't escape for many years. There is no doubt in our mind that inter- mediate hockey will return to the local scene very shortly, and we wouldn't be too surprised to see a club operating next year. There are half a dozen good young players on the sidelines this season who will be ready to get back into harness and at least this many will be graduating from the junior ranks this year. Listing some of the names such as Jim Rus- sell, Jim MacDonald, Lloyd Moore, Bob Jones, Bill Heywood, Gerald McBride and Frank Boyle, we note that all these players appear to be permanent residents and backed by some of the Mohawks of last year, could easily give Exeter a hustling inter- mediate squad. We'll hope that the old adage—absence makes the heart grow fonder—will hold true and the fans will be ready to turn out again in good numbers to watch these local fellows attempt to pull intermediate hockey out of the doldrums, We'll wait and see! IT HAD TO COME The other notable change on the local hockey scene concerns the minor players, who for the first time we can recall, will have to part - with some cold cash before they will be able to perform at the arena. We haven't heard very much criticism over ;7the registration fee of 35,00 for the majority of -these players, and this is perhaps due to the fact . that most people realized that it had to come sooner or later. The minor hockey players. in town have been generously sponsored by the three service clubs and. RCAF Centralia in the past. and with the mounting cost of ice time for the vast number of kids, these expenses were reaching the point. where they were a strain for these benfactors and were forcing them to curtail other projects that. were of equal importance to helping kids play hockey. All these -croups pointed out that they would not see any youngster kept out of hockey due to. lack of finances and they will continue to give support to this $1,500.00 operation this. winter, This registration fee was not requested by .the service groups. but was actually formulated 'strictly by the Exeter Minor Hockey Association and has been ratified by the service clubs who Nee agreed to share any deficit that may arise. While hockey registration fees are new in this area, they have been in -operation in most ;ether centres for some time and many of the youngsters pay much more than what the kids in Exeter do. In fact, in larger centres. they pay as much as $10.00 for half the amount of ice time the local youngsters receive and they also have to take the Bice at such ridiculous times as 6:00 A.111. SO, while WO agree that it nould he good to still see the kids get .free hockey, the time has come when they have to start paying the same as the youngsters who enjoy the benefits of bowling and figure skating and other recreation facilities. BATT'N AROUND—Speaking of figure shat- Inge Alma Preszcator phoned the other day to in- form Us that registration wwill take place this Sae, urday at 3:00 pen. at the arena. All youngsters are invited to participate in this sport that stresses poise and grace and judging from the carnivals that we have seen, the local youngsters certainly learn their lessons well. We even thought of en- rolling ourself this year, not because we're par. ticularly interested in learning how to be more graceful, but we understand the teacher is an attractive young miss from the Seaforth area. Who linows, the male registrations may take a decided increase this year . , Before We forget, we had better mention that Al Davies is Once again organ- izing his popular "Gay Cup" at RCAF Centralia On Saturday, November 17. Although the crowd `was disappointing last year, the show was One of the best we've seen he the area for sonic time 'thid Al reports that he hopes to have -even more Moats iitered in the parade this year. Tie also points cut that the battle between the eastern and western factions at the station has also been a de- termieing factor in the Grey Cup game between the CPI teams. Whichever team wins at 'Centralia loses in the big fall elessic. We'll have more on this next week, but be sure to keep the date open
