Hensall-Zurich Combines have been hit by injuries but it's not as bad as it might appear here. In a bit of kibitzing, Bob John- ston and Captain Wayne Willert try out crutches--but just for size, not for use. The under- pinnings really belong to Larry Bedard, left, expected to be out of action for more than a month with a broken ankle which he suffered in a game against Wat- ford a week ago. The Combines' Bill Shaddick will also be out for a week with a knee injury. De- spite the temporary losses, the unbeaten Combines continue to maintain a healthy lead in the Shamrock junior loop.

The members of the Minor Hockey Com- mittee of the CAHA are interested in getting some new ideas for slogans to emphasize this big week in future years. At the present three slogans have been suggested to publicize Minor Hockey Week—(1) Don't send—TAKE your boy to the arena. (2) Canada can be first—Support Minor Hockey. (3) Keep a boy on ice and you'll keep him out of hot water. To stimulate interest in this undertaking, a contest will be conducted here in Exeter and district. Competition will be open to all boys taking part in minor hockey and hockey stick prizes will be awarded to three youngsters sub- -miffing the best slogans or phrases. Start thinking, fellows, mail or bring in your slogan to "Hockey Slogans", Exeter Times- Advocate, before noon on Friday, February 1. Combines capture 14th straight win NAME Deadline: Friday Noon, Feb. I FILL OUT AND MAIL THIS ENTRY FORM NOW! when five goals were chalked up on the scoreboard, four co- ming within three minutes early in the period. Claude Audet, Sonny Burke and the Exeter youngster Jim McDonald were on the firing end for the Hawks. Barry Hearn and Boom Gravett notched the Combines' counters to end the scoring, giving the Centralia boys a 4-3 lead heading for the closing session. A pair of quick goals by Hearn giving him a hat trick for his evening's work, sank the Hawks and maintained the Lucan-Ilderton win streak. LOSE TO CLINTON Returning to Clinton for the second time in a week, the Hawks ran into a flying Thun- derbolt squad from the northern RCAF station, coming home on the wrong end of a 11-4 score. Don McLeod and Les Chris- tian were the largest contri- butors to the winning Clinton total, each bulging the Centralia twine on three occasions. Ken Forsyth grabbed two counters and singletons were credited to Grant Meehan, Bob Kelly and Glenn Newport. Sharing equally in the Cen- tralia scoring honours were Claude Audet, Ron Dale, Bob Ross, and Pete Baribeau. MitiMantr.MirgiliSMNIMMUMMariMBESMINZ1V/am&::K*i,. imar After week-long action in the Big Eight OHA, shufflings have taken place in the first three positions. Luc an-Ilderton Combines, on the second rung last week, came out victorious in two of their three games to move on top with 20 points. On the strength of a pair of wins, Philipsburg Chevs mo- ved into runner-up spot with 19, while the previously top dog Milver ton Topnotchers dropped to third place by losing their only encounter. DOWN DEVILS Erupting with four goals in the third period, Lucan-ilderton Combines downed Mitchell 5-1 on the Red Devils' home pond, Tuesday, to claim sole posses- sion of first place in Big Eight OHA action. Don Fletcher and Ken Loft shared the scoring spotlight, each nabbing a pair of markers. Tom Collings, former Com- bine ace, put the Red Devils out in front when he beat Keith Scarborough in the L-I net on the first rush of the game at the 12-second mark. After Fletcher knotted the count late in the first, Barry Hearn bulged the Mitchell twine, accounting for the only sniping of the middle frame. Loft with his duo and singles from Fletcher and Jim Aldis in rapid succession in the going- home period, put the game in the bag for the Combines. COMBINES TAKE COMMAND In the Shamrock junior loop, Hensall- Zurich Combines have taken a commanding lead over the rest of the squads, remaining unbeaten In 17 starts. A team that is regarded at least as strong as last year's OHA finalists, they certainly have a good chance of going all the way this time, providing of course they can top the local com- petition. In talking last week to Don Buddo, head man of Shamrock minor 'activity, he indicated there are only three junior "D" clubs, outside of this area, that will be in the hunt for OHA laurels. These other teams are from Uxbridge (re- member them?), Madoc and another Eastern On- tario town. With this in mind it is reasonable to assume that the club emerging from Shamrock battling could jump right into the Ontario finale. In the statistical department of Shamrock junior play, last year's scoring leader, Bill Shad- dick, is out on top again, having piled up 49 points to date, with teammate Steve Kyle in the runner-up spot with 46. WIN STEAK BROKEN After seven consecutive tri- umphs, Lucan-Ilderton Com- bines ran into a high-flying Phi- lipsburg Chev crew on Lucan ice Friday and came out on the wrong end of a 7-3 score. Garry Pfaff started the Chevs away with eight minutes of play gone by in the game and from then on they were never headed. Scoring his first of two in the match, Ron Ehrat upped the margin to 2-0 at 1.54 of the in- between period, before Barry Hearn notched the Combines' first tally on a solo dash at 3.45. The hometowners second goal of the game was notched by Max O'Neil from Hearn and Jim Aldis, after Andy Sararas and Ehrs; had put the Chevies well out in front. Goals by Calvin lionderich, Jack Leslie and Jim Doering rounded out the Philipsburg to- tal in the going home session with Barry Hearn nabbing his second to round out the L-I boys scoring. A little excitement was crea- ted in the final few moments of the contest when Verne Heldman and Ken Loft engaged in a short session of fisticuffs. IT'S A TIGHT CONTEST! After completion of about 60 percent of the season's schedule, the NHL race is the closest in many a moon. Only six points separate the top four clubs following the weekend action, Although the Black Hawks are on the top rung at the moment, the other three contenders have played fewer games, which could make the battle from here on very interesting. A close race is also being waged for the Vezina Trophy with the perennial winner, Jacques Plante, at 2.25 goals per game, leading his closest contenders, the Sawchuck-Riggin combo from Detroit, by six scores. Here again the number of games played is an important factor. Glenn Hall in the Chicago nets trails Plante by seven goals, but has par- ticipated in two more contests, side as he was heading for the corner after taking the relay from Steve Kyle and Shaddick. Craig Chapman was on the trigger end of a scoring play with Ron Livermore as time ran out in the first, giving the Combines a 3-1 margin. Early in period two Steve K yle, with some persistent checking, broke up a Belmont passing play and found Bill Shaddick loose in front of the net. The star centreman made no mistake in registering his first of the night. Scoring two goals apiece in the final frame, the teams played a wide open brand of hockey that was featured by steady net performances from Dennis Mock and Ray Moore. Paul Draper and Shaddick were on the firing line for the Combines while Jim Walker and Bill Cornish bested Mock in the H-Z nets. The last period was enlivened by a small fracas as RaySchuy- ler and Paul Draper decided to take a few swings at each other, getting major penalties for their trouble. Incidentally, Schuyler was a frequent visitor to the sin bin, catching the eye of referees Hodgi-n s and Noble for five minor infractions in addition to his five-minute rest. With each of the top teams seeing action only once during the week, the Shamrock junior standings remain basically un- changed. liensall-Zurich Com- bines continue on the top roost with 14 wins and three draws for 31 points, five more than second-place Strathroy. The only shuffle in the plac- ings occurred when Forest mo- ved into fifth spot with the aid of a pair of victories over the basement dwellers from Lucan. COMBINES CARRY ON Hensall-Zurich C o mb ines raked up triumph number 14 in Shamrock junior competition when they decisioned Belmont 6-3 on Hensall ice, Friday. Returning to the hockey wars after a week's layoff due to a knee injury, Bill Shaddick spearheaded the attack, scoring a pair and assisting on one. Belmont started out as if they meant business when Jim Ham- bley found the range after only a minute and twelve seconds of action, Coming back five mi- nutes later, the Combines ob- tained the equalizer with Wayne Willert culminating a neat pas- sing effort with team-mates Earl Wagner and John Varley. Another three-way play pro- duced the score that put the H-Z boys in front to stay, with Bob Johnston picking the short Burke shines in win, leads point parade put the game in tee nag. Bill Pollen matched Fink- beiner's total, with Don O'Brien notching ten to pace the winners. Jim Carey was the scoring leader for the losing club, net- ting six field goals, while Ron Bogart and Doug Rickert added eight points apiece. Moonshiners -- Tom Burke, 17; John MoCarroll, 16; Al Wiper, 11; Cameron, 9; Terry WaCauley, 2; FelixBoogemans, 2.

EXTEND COMBINES Playing on Exeter ice Friday, the airmen came within five minutes of upsetting the Lucent- Ilcierton Combines. After leading throughout most of the game, Hawks succumbed to the Combines 5-4 when tarry Hearn sank two shots with time running out.

For the balance of the con- test, play was Very close, with each side potting 33 points to bring the final count to 57-40. John McCarron came up with an unique performance, hooping two shots from the floor in each quarter to make a large contribution to his team's Win- ning total. Al Wiper was the other Shiner tO hit double fi- gures, netting 11. Charlie Kenna was the big sniper for the flying rural boys, bagging 15 points.

LED ALL THE WAY After taking a 10-4 lead in the first quarter, the Panthers were never behind. They in- creased the margin to 25-16 at the half and to 38-22 in the third quarter.

Mock netted six con- secutive foul shots out of the seven he was awarded. Kyle 'struck for five out of eight. Other Panther point-getters were Dave Buchanan, with four, and Bob Mickle, who sunk a free throw. Suburra led the visitors' attack with 20 points. TURN BACK BID After piling up a healthy 29-17 lead at half time, the juniors faltered badly in the third quar- ter to allow Stratford to narrow the margin to two poonts.

The score at half time was 30-20 for Listowel and, at the, end of the three-quar- ters, was 34-42. Top scorer for South Huron Was Ausma Gulens with 14 points, followed by Kris Gulens BASEBALL BANTER Looking ahead to the coming baseball season, with spring training not too distant, several of the trades could have some bearing on the final standings. The acquisition of Bubba Phillips and Gus Triandos will definitely help the Detroit offensive strength. With the addition of Stan Williams from the Dodgers, the Yankee mound staff will be stronger. One of the best pieces of news received by all four (count them) Tiger fans in the neigh- borhood was the Yankee trade that sent Bill Skowron out of the American loop. The Moose has been a big thorn in the side of Bob Schell fing's bengals for several seasons. After glancing at the official American league statistics for 1962, we wouldlike to dis- agree with the fellow who claims figures don't lie, Let's take a look at the fielding averages for outfielders. Who would you say are two of the best ball hawks in the junior circuit? Cer- tainly Al Kaline and Mickey Mantle would be two of the first to come to mind, Inthe final tabulation, comparing errors committed with the number of ehan ces handled during 'the year's play, Kaline ended up seven- teenth on the list and Mantle trailed in the twentieth spot. While still dwelling on the summer sport we like this little yarn about the inimitable Yogi terra, A sotting goods salesman arrived at the Yankee's St. PetersbUrg training camp to fit the players for uniforms and asked Yogi, "What She tap do you wear?" "How do I know?" Berra replied. "This is only the first day of practice and 1'I1 not In shape yet,"
