Editor The volleyball squad from RCAF Centralia, playing in an international tournament a t South Collegiate Gym in. LOP- Opp. Saturday, lost out to a strong aggregation from Toi" oaneatotiws:teinsatHi ggeadm Ye in a, sudden' The early games in the tow , nament were of the two out of three variety with the finals being a one game series. The local airmen playing un-, der Coach George Kelly met the eventual champion Toronto squad in the first round and lost straight games by the scores of 15,1.1. and 15.10, After this temporary set- back, the flyers came roaring hack to eliminate a team from the London Army, London Vol- leyball Club and. a team from the Detroit YMCA in convinc- ing fashion. The only time the Centralia stars were extended in these games was in the second game 18,i-t1116,the boys from across the border when the score went to In the final game of the day Kelly's charges got off to a poor start, falling behind 9.0 before -they found their stride, This lead proved unsurmount- ah leas the final score read 15- 12 for the champions from To- ronto, In addition to playing Coach George Kelly, the . Centralia team consisted of Tom Burke, Ken McKellar, Al McIlraight, Al Wiper and Ed Leslie, Bob Noyle, the volleyball convener for RCAF Centralia was unable to make the trip to London, Noyle paid tribute to the out- standing olay of "Spiker" Wip- er and "Gorgeous George" Kel- ly. salt Arena by a score of 13.0 Friday evening. Earl Waoner, Steve Kyle and Gerard O verholtb paced the Shamrock League leaders, each picking up three goals in the lop-sidd contest, Larry 'Bedard's goal in the second period was the 100th marker of the season for the Combines, The seven g o a 1 spurt in the third period brought the season's output of scores to 111 in 11 games. Bill Murney scored the only goal of the first period from Craig Chapman at 10:23 to start the winners on their way. The Combines warmed up the middle session, flashing the red light five times behind Bill Johnston in the Forest net. Larry Bedard, Wagner, Kyle, Overholt and Paul Draper were the markmen in the second pe- riod. Kyle, Wagner and Overholt broke loose in the final period, each scoring twice to complete their hat tricks, with Ron Liv- ermore picking tip the seventh marker. Only two penalties were called in the exceptionally clean game, both going to the Combines, Bill 'gurney was waved off in the first period for tripping and Paul Draper caught the eye of one of the officials for elbowing in the final stanza.

Although we hope it won't sound egotistical, we think we can safely say we have taken advan- tage of many of the opportunities that are pre- sented for those in our g eneration to a fuller extent than some. and it has certainly been to our gain. It was our privilege to be in the Cub and €cout" movement in Exeter along with a host 'of other fellows, and the training and leadership "we received here will never go amiss, Certainly the sporting activities we have joined have been one of the real highlights and we took advantage of them to play minor hockey and baseball, intermediate hockey and baseball, rec league softball and volleyball and basketball at SHDHS. Two of the names that stand out in this particular line of endeavour are Clarence "Derry" Boyle and Glenn Mickle, Certainly these two men helped implant in those fortunate enough to come under their guidance the one prime requisite for any successful life—the will to win, Derry will probably be the first to admit that, similar to most of us, he has some faults. However, in our opinion his devoted interest in sports in the area is overshadowed by none, and his generosity in providing transportation and other needs for kids over the past years will be impossible to repay. And, we doubt if he really does want to be repaid, because as a true sportsman he has undoubtedly been rewarded many times in watch- _ ing his young aspirants grow into men and take their place in the community. We have often heard Derry criticized and sometimes it has been warranted, but then there are few of us who don't fall into this category at .times. However, much of the criticism comes from -those who use it more as an alibi to belittle a man who stands head and shoulders above them when it comes to serving the needs of our youth. We shudder to think what Exeter would be like without Derry Boyle and we would like to publicly thank him now for the opportunity he has given to us. IT'S A LONG LIST while we enjoyed both baseball and hockey, baSkettall was really our favorite and it . was in this sport we were able to pick up many crests for the efforts of the teams we generally watched from the bench. Coach Glenn Mickle earned the respect of the players as a gracious loser, but his push to get his players to come up with their' maximum effort at all times has not only been instrumental in turning out a vast number of championship teams, but has also aided in sending many of these players into life as true sportsmen and valuable. community and business leaders. Looking over some of the lineups we come up with names such as: .Tohn Hicks, Jim and Bev Sturgis, Bill and Don O'Brien, Bill Yungblut, Ken Moir, Glen Schroeder, Gary Middleton, Gord Cann, Bill Gilfillan, John Haberer, Ron Heinrich, Bob Fletcher, John and George Rether, Ivan Hunter- Duvar, Fred and George Dobbs, Ron Rowcliffe, Bill Mickle and a host of others which quickly points out the truth of our preceding statements about Glenn's influence on these chaps. We should also mention Miss Laurette Seig- ner as well, because the female grads from SHDHS have also done their share in exemplifying the spirit and hard work that both these coaches im- planted in their many extremely successful years in Exeter. To this we should certainly add the names of all the other SHDHS teachers who not only pushed us alotig the education path but also in other School aspects such as singing, drama, public speaking, student organizations and such, Certainly the formal and informal education we received at SHDHS was on a level with any high school in the province, and we are only sorry -we often failed to take full advantage of these opportunities. THERE'S JUST TOO MANY Getting away from sports, we could men- tion an almost unlimited number of friendships we have built up in church and community activities and also in the brief years we have had the oppor- tunity of reporting many of the various phases of life in South Huron. It would be our wish to thank the people who have enticed us to take up responsible posi- tions in various activities, for while it has meant work, the rewards far overshadow this. In our brief stint as a reporter for The TA and as editor of the Grand tend Holiday, we have received nothing but co-operation from those in many organizations who took time out from their busy lives to help .explain things to this Monier.. Jeticed writer, This has been a real highlight of our work- ing days, because it showed the friendly atmos. phere of a small community and also showed that people were interested in seeing a young person get along in his chosen vocation. A NUMBER OF BIG BREAKS While we could rattle on for hours about the many pleasant associations we have had iii the area, we find We are nearing the end of our allotted space. So lastly, arid certainly not the least, we, Should thank the Southeotts and all the boys at The T-A who have given us so many wonderful opportunit, From ies the day we walked into this office as a printer's devil some 11 years ago we have had Exeter Minor 1-1.0chey sod anon decided Tuesday night to clip the wobbly wings of its controversy-racked,. injury- riddled Junior Hawks, The club, which has a 2-11 won-lost record for the season, will not complete its schedule in the Shamrock Junior League, Principal reason for the de- cision, according to Rec Direc- tor Don Gravett, is the "lack of player interest", The squad has had a shaky existence since its formation and there would appear to he Many reasons for its collapse, The Hawks won their second game of the season Friday night with an 8-3 count over Lucan. This left the two area clubs sharing the cellar posi- tion. Monday night the Hawks dropped their eleventh contest in Forest by an 8.3 score, A number of the Hawks are out with injuries, several aren't anxious to compete, and the EMHA isn't keen about rein- forcing the squad with mid- gets, The latter team, accord- ing to the officials, stands a good chance of making a mark for itself in OMHA competi- tion. On top of all this, EMHA wasn't able to find a coach and manager for the squad. Milverton Topnotchers conti- nued to set the pace in the Big Eight circuit this past week, winning both their games, while Seaforth dropped two and Phil- lipsburg won the only game they played. The league leaders edged Clinton 3-2 in a real squeaker Thursday, scoring the clincher at 19.42 of the final period. Milverton's second win of the week was picked up Tuesday, with a 9-5 decision over Sea- forth Towners. Lucan-Ilderton Combines moved into a tie for third place with two convincing victories in four days, The Combines grounded the Centralia Hawks at Exeter Arena, Thursday by a score of 13-4. Their second victory was just as decisive, routing the Clin- ton Thunderbolts in Clinton Sunday 11-3. Mitchell Red Devils captured their first game of the season, Tuesday evening downing Cen- tralia 8-5. MITCHELL WINS FIRST Mitchell Red Devils picked tip their first win of the season on home ice, Tuesday evening, with a 8.5 decision over Centra- lia Hawks. The first ten minutes of the game were very close with each team scoring twice Centralia started the scoring at 5,30 of the first period, when Dzivier blinked the right on a pass from Demers."Edi Dolm- age put Mitchell on even terms at 5.20 from 'Neil and Westman. The visiting airmen again took the lead at the 6,40 mark with Des Killen registering from Claud Audet, Once again the home team battled back to even the score with Ed. Dolmage picking up his second goal on a pass from de- fenceman Line Rohfritsch. The Red Devils picked up two quick goals by Murray Stitch- er and Keith Ahrens at 11,20 and 11.30 to take the lead for the first time and they never looked back. Bruce Sawyer added the final score of the first session at 18.40 to put Mitchell into a 5.2 lead. For the last two games, it hos been handled by" Grav ett end Derry Boyle, both of whom have other clubs to look after. The club was started by Reg The liensall-Zurich Combines continue to hold first place in the Shamrock junior loop, with the Strathroy youngsters in second spot, Each team has played eleven games to press time, with the Combines holding a two point lead, by virtue of a win over Strathroy in their only meeting of the year. The Combines won both their games this past week quite handily, downing St, Marys 9-3 and. whitewashing Forest 13-0, Strathroy- kept pace with a pair of. wins over the Lucan squad by scores of 124 and 4.3, The only change in the league standings came about when Fo- rest sneaked past Watford into fifth place. Sonny Bourke scored the only Centralia goal of the second pe- riod, which was sandwiched be- tween two tallies by Charlie Westman, The Hawks outscored the homesters in the final period with Andre Demers and Yves Garand picking up the markers. Mitchell's final score of the night was fired by Charlie Westman, to give the veteran forward a three-goal perform- ance, "BOOM" SCORES FOUR , Lucan-Ilderton Combines gained their second win of the week, in Clinton, Sunday, run- ning roughshod over the Thun- derbolts to the tune of 11-3. The Combines were led to victory by former Exeter Ho- hawk star Don "Boom" Gra- vett, who fired four shots past the Clinton netminder. Bill Hearn added two to the Lucan-Ilderton total, while Or- val Fletcher, Stu O'Neil, Steve Storey, Dusty Aldis and Lloyd Moore picked up single mark- ers. The three Clinton tallies were chalked up by Grant Meehan, Frank Weatherby and Neil Mel- anson, L.I RIDDLES HAWKS Lucan-Ilderton Combines ex- ploded for their highest goal production of the season in Exeter, Thursday, stunning the Centralia Hawks by a score of 13-4 in a Big Eight tilt. The Hawks managed to stick with the visitors for the first period, leaving the ice with only a one-goat deficit. However, the def en di n g champs potted six tallies in the middle frame and came back with four more in the third to coast to their third win, Playing coach Max O'Neil and Ken Loft paced the attack for the winners with three goals each, while Stu O'Neil and Boom Gravett added a pair each. Single markers came off the sticks of Steve Storey, Harry Wraith and Barry Hearn, The Centralia scoring was divided evenly as Sonny Burke, Yves Garand, Andre Demers and Sob Ross blinked the light. McDonald and Cy Blom magri, who 'resigned a month ago following 'a controversy with EMHA over the use of midget- age players. EXTENDS STREAK Hensall-Zurich Combines eon• (inued their undefeated pace with a 9-3 romp over St.. Marys Juniors in the Stone Town arena Wednesday evening, As in most of their games, the Combines started slowly, scoring twice in the first pe- riod, with Gerald Overholt and Craig Chapman doing the hon- ors, M. Greason notched the St. Marys marker in the first period. After W. Kenny tied the score at 3,53 of the second period, the Combines found their usual scoring range and banged home five goals.
