However. before chastising the fans too much, we will have to admit that lee have also been absent from many of these games. and are Making DM* judgment on the basis of a "paper analysis" of the teams only. Before the eight clubs took to .the ice to commence their schedule. we were firmly convinced that the Lueaneilderton Combines would agent dominate the loop in which they won 23 out of 4 contests last year, Our thinking was slightly biased due to an effective who - washing job by manager Steve Storey, who pointed out. the Combines were mak- ing an all-out effort to capture the Ontario "B" crown. We agreed with hint at the time that the southern club had an excellent opportunity espec- ially when he noted they had added Exeter's Boom Gravett, Lloyd Moore and Dick Bedard; Stratford Indian stalwart Barry Hearn and Strathroy Rocket stars, Jim Strachan and George Coulter. Naturally we figured that by adding these Six pucketers to an already star-studded lineup, the Combines would waltz right through the clubs in the Big Eight and would be on a par with Port Dover Sailors, who sidelined them in OHA play- offs last year. In fact we were so certain they had what it would take that we almost died laughing following our ability to entice Don Budclo of Sham- rock league fame into giving us odds of 50 to one to back up his opinion that we were all wet. While it is certainly not our intention to back out of a bet with such favorable odds. we are noting with sonic consternation that the Com- bines are having a bit of difficulty living up to our expectations and they are presently holding a win-loss record that is balanced off at two games for each side: the L-I six having been beaten by both Seaforth and Philipsburg after posting wins over the two RCAF clubs from Centralia and Clinton. COMPETITION IS KEEN Now. to get back to our original statement regarding the calibre of play in this intermediate "B" league. we hope our preceding jargon has been able to substantiate our opinion that it is extremely good. We still think the Combinee have fanned one of the best intermediate "B" teams this area has seen, and if there are two teams that can beat them, there must be some top-notch puckstcrs cavorting around the loop. and a look at some of the lineups backs this up. Seaforth Towners hate added Ken 'Doig and Jack Mcilwain from last year's Stratford senior entry along with their junior stars of Toni and Jim Dick. and when you add this to names such as Bob Doig. Bob Beutenmiller and Bill McLaugh- lin. you come up with a very strong, offensive unit. Philipsburg, who are undefeated and also have a win over Combines. don't appear to have made too many changes from the team they have had for the past couple of yeare. but they are get- ting good mileage from Andy Sararas. one of the better all-round players for the Mohawks in Ex- eter, and also a pair of scrappy young junior graduates in the persons of Gary and Bryan Pfaff, The new loop entry from Milverton certain• ly appears to he on a par with the top clubs and have dropped only one contest in five outings. Big- gest name on their roster is Abner Martin, a for- mer senior player in the Gait and Kitchener- Waterloo area. who is in a class of his own in the scoring race with 10 goals and 11 assists in those five games. While none of the other names are familiar to us with the exception of Gord Trapp. the Top- notchers appear to have a prolific eeoring squad with five players in the top seven league positions. A quick glance at the Mitchell and 1"orest lineups shows familiar names such as Murray But- cher and Charlie Westman with the 'Red Devils and Stan Ulrich. ..Jim Bloomfield and Bob Dunlop with the Flyers. who also boast several .Sarnia and Wat- ford junior graduates. Centralia Hawks and Clinton Thunderbolts appear to be slightly outclassed in the league. but don't count Curly Ebel's crew out of contention yet. As long as he has :felloe .ssuch as Yves Garand, Dez Killen and Exeter's :fir» MacDonald they should give e good. account of themselves although wry doubt if they'll whip any of the top four clubs in (lie league However. we trust this brief outline will air some interest in the fans who have the op- portunity to get out and watch the Hawks and the Combines play iat this fast. exciting loop which we think encompaesee some of the most evenly match. ed intermediate hockey clubs ever assembled in An area loop. +Special note,to the Combines-certainly ould like to take Buddo for that ;10 bucks, boys:, PERHAPS YOU NOTICED! Judging from the number of haggered. stiff men we. saw last. Friday. we. would illtagirte that most people will have realized that the Exeter me basketball loop underwent its inauguration last week. We have read stories about the rough time the National Basketball League players have under the baskets in their games. but we would wager their games would resemble a ladies' knitting club in comparison with the local variety. This rough and tumble play is prevalent. in the opening games when most of the out-of-shape Members realize it is easier to stick out an arm. elbow, leg or knee in an effort to stop someone rather than having to chase him down the floor, However, this usually changes as the season wears on and some of the boys get in shape and basketball fans tall witness plenty of good basket- ball each Thursday night in the four-team loop at the SHDHS gym. While this is not a plea to get fans out, it is art invitation to any who May not realize they Are welcome to it in on the carves.
