Come one, come all for full night 'of ice action! A "Family Hockey Night" is being plan- ned for sometime in March when every boy that participates in house loop play will be on the ice to display his abilities. This year the Exeter Minor Hockey As- sociation is operating a program for 306 boys ranging in age from four to 18. Rev, Drell. DeVries, chairman of EMHA, has indicated that he is pleased with this year's program under the capable direction of Rec Di- rector Don "Boom" Gravett. He feels that with new regulations in effect, the conduct of the boys is of a higher standing and good sports- manship is being shown at all times.. Rev. DeVries stated that he has received many kind comments about the conduct and be- haviour of the Exeter Minor clubs that take part in out-of4own events. This corner would like to support this statement, having attended the Silver Stick Inter- national Tournament in Port Huron over the weekend. We heard several remarks from fans and officials regarding the sportsmanship of the pee wee players and management. go * * More sports on page 10 All across Canada this week, youngsters like these local squirts are in the limelight as the sport- ing world salutes the country's minor hockey program, In Exeter this Friday night, all-star teams from the local organization will play Goderich and Stratford clubs in a four-game exhibition at the local arena. SW ers p st ilea at SHDHS.. Hitherto unbeaten Per lob Hustlers dropped their first tilt in six startswhen they were edged by the third-place Moopshipers in a thrilling fie niSh. 56-54. A last quarter spurt by George Wright enabled the Peripatetic Pedagogues to deci- sion the Flying Farmers 40-36 in the nightcap and put the teachers back on top of the scoring heap with a three point edge on previous leader Tom Burke. TEAM EFFORT Getting a steady wellebala.n- ped scoring effort from all Seven players, the Moenshiners took an early lead and were able to hold off the league leaders. Jumping away to aquick start the Shiners led 18-9 at quarter time, maintained a 32-38 half- time margin and the hoopsters traded point for point most of the remaining way. The stars of the game turned out to be a pair of school- masters playing op opposite sides. Don O'Brien's 28-point effort was far and away the highest output of the night while John McCarron fired a long looping shot in the dying moments that proved to be the winner. Tom Burke with 12 and Roy Wiebe with 11 paced the scoring for the winners. Backing up O'Brien's scoring for the Hustlers was Keith Lo- vell, who dropped in four field goals and three tries from the foul line. LATE RALLY In the second part of the doubleheader the clubs battled back and forth throughout a nip and tuck first half that ended in a 18-18 knot. In a close-checking t hi r d quarter the Flying Farmers got airborne to move into a 30-24 command. Moving into the final period, George Wright assumed leadership, dumping in half of his night's total output of 20 to provide the margin of victory. Jim Carey with five scores from the floor backed up Wright frame and Randy McLean near the end of the contest were responsible for the lakeport tallies. Despite the loss two local youngsters, Larry Haugh and Guenther were picked as the first two stars of the game in recognition of their fine play. Failing in their bid to retain the Clinton Kinsmen Trophy that has been coming to Exeter for the past two years, the local squirts lost a close 2-1 decision to Goderich in the opening game of the annual tourney in Clinton Saturday. Despite the loss, the locals turned in one of their better performances of the season, holding an edge in the terri- torial play and in the shots on goal count. They were ham pered by several costly off- sides as the kids were a little over-anxious. Jimmy Guenther, the Dash- wood stalwart, hit the score- board in the first period on a neat effort to put the Exeter boys into an early lead. Gordon Fisher in the middle SHDHS cage teams scored a clean sweep over Mitchell squads last week to give the local school a 10-6 record in games for the season. Junior boys scored the big- gest win, a 49-1 rout of their hapless P e r th counterparts. Panthers, after taking a 29-13 lead at the half, coasted to a 48-35 win. Senior girls posted an easy 40-21 triumph and the junior misses came through with their first victory of the season by a 17-12 count. KYLE SHINES Steve Kyle again sparked the Panther attack, hooping half his 22-point total in a riot first quarter. Kyle potted eight bas- kets and sunk all six free throws he was awarded. Dennis Mock contributed 12 points for SHigh, with Dave Buchanan adding eight. Bruce Horton scored two baskets and Roger Cann sunk a single. Individual scoring leader of the game was Jim Mitchell, with 24 points for the losers. Toni McNaught added seven. TEN SHARE POINTS Ten members of the junior squad contributed to their lop- sided win. They were paced by Ron Metz and Bob Burns with 10 points each. Larry Idle ac- counted for six, Jim Coates and Bob Wolfe, five each; Dave Dale and Barry Baynham, four each; Wayne Baynham and John Locke, two each; Rick Schroe- der, one. The juniors took a 14-3 lead in the first quarter, made it 21-3 at the half to clinch the game. Their best scoring spree came in the final period when they added 1'7 points, holding Mitchell to 2. A SLOW START The senior girls didn't start to roll until the second half of their contest. They trailed died each other goal Per goal in regulation time, ending the three fifteen minute steep:5 in a 3-3 Cleedleck. The shots on gal were also even 15,15 to create what the announced ter- med a perfect tie game, After several minutes of cep- saltation with &erne citadels and Fred Lairiline, Western Vision Commissioner, the refe- rees Red Graham of Point Ed- ward and Bill Greer of Royal Oak ordered the teams into a five-minute overtime period. Bob Crosby fired the winning marker for Don Mills after only forty seconds of extra time and Dean Mitchell nabbed his second of the fray two minutes later to put the garne out of reach of the Exeterites. John Roulston opened the sco- ring in the contest on a long drive from the blue line on a relay from Bill Fairlaairn and Fairbairn tipped in John Loa- der's pass to account fpr the locals' counters in the openipg period. John McBrantney and Dean Mitchell fired the Don Mills scores to leave the tilt knotted 2-2 after fifteen minutes of play, After a scoreless second ses- sion, John Loader put his dad's team into a temporary lead op a nice effort as he picked up Fairbairn's pass and broke in close to the net. As he was turned around by the defence- man, he backhanded the rubber into a corner of the cage. Don McLarity tied matters up at the 6.18 mark of the third period and the boys bat- tled the rest of the way in regulation time to come up with a stalemate on scores and on shots on the nets. The local lads appeared tired in the first game as the result of two games the day before and the trip to Port Huron via storm-blown roads. BAYNHAM BEATS AMERKS With Barry Baynham notching the hat-trick, the locals corn, pletely carried the play over their rivals from Houghton, in their second outing of the after- noon, Baynham started his marks- manship midway through the initial period as' he took a Bill Fairbairn pass and fired a rising shot into the far corner. The only score of the sand- wiched session was tipped inby Ricky Weber after John Loader had bounced one off the cross bar and a shot by Frank De --Please turn to page 10 Quarter scores were 3-0, 10-1 and 12-9. Ann Mickle and Nancy Kyle paced the SHigh attack with seven and six points respec- tively. Iris Marshall contribu- ted the other three and Susan Goman a single. Barbara Spence led Mitchell with seven points. 4-2 at the end of the first quarter and had a slim 11-9 edge at the half. They then ex- ploded for 26 unanswered points which set up their easy win. Top scorer for South Huron was Marjorie McPhee with 18 Points, followed by Kristine Gi.e- lens, 13, and Ausma Gulens, nine. Shirley Coombs hooped 14 points, two-thirds of Mitchell's total. THEIR FIRST WIN Leading throughout the entire game, the junior girls staved off a late Mitchell rally to come up with their initial win. We're Clearing '63 Mode's At Sizzling Low Prices! I Still three undefeated SCOT'' BY DICK WEBER After four weeks of the men's second draw, there are still many contenders for top honors on Monday and Thursday nights but the Tuesday night compe- tition is narrowing. On the Monday draw, there are no undefeated rinks. Dick Roelofson leads with 40 points, followed by John Goman with 3'7 and Don Graham with 36. Almer Passmore and BevMor- gan with two wins in three games are well in the running, The Tuesday night draw is another story as the two rinks that were undefeated continued to win. Les Parker defeeted Bill MacLean to Make it four straight while Russ Snell stayed right behind in the point count by scoring a win over Allan Westcott.

Play gets under way in the six team pee we loop each Saturday morning at 8.00 a.m. with Larry Howard, Gord Baynham, Alf Smith, Art Stork, Red Loader, Lorne Haugh and Harry Page guiding the young pucksters. The pee wee contests have been shortened to fifty minutes to allow a little more ice time for the 110 boys that are in the nine and under brack- et. At approximately 10.40 the ice surface is divided into three sections to allow the 70-odd kids, seven years of age and under to get into the act and scramble for the puck at the same time. About 40 of the eight and nine age brack- et take to the ice at 11.20 to round out a busy morning of puck chasing. Some of the same men that coach earlier, Storie, Page and Howard are on hand to guide the younger tykes along with fellows like Bob McDonald, Bill Gilfillan and Sgt. Lane. The bantam house league with four teams takes over the six to seven slot on Mondays and Tuesdays with Pete Durand, Loader, Lyle Rid- dell and Doug Grayer handling most of the coach- ing responsibilities. The older boys competing in midget-juve- nile ranks can be seen in action every Tuesday from seven to ten o'clock, Art Stratton, Joe Gosar, Rev. Bren DeVries, Alvin Willert, Leo Burns and the faithful Art Storie are on hand to administer advice. Some of the house league coaches have taken on the added responsibilities of guiding the all-star teams that will be on parade Friday night, These picked squads playing in Shamrock, WOAA and exhibition competition are handled by Don Gravett, Lloyd Cushman, Derry Boyle, Bill Musser, Red Loader, Gord Baynham and Lorne Haugh. These men are aided greatly by parents who have been helping in transporting the youngsters to and from games. In order to maintain a successful hockey program for youngsters, in addition to managers and coaches, a very 'important role is that of the referee. Oft ridiculed, these men in 'the striped shirts are necessary to enforce the rules of the ice while maintaining order and the minor pro- gram at the local arena is fortunate to have a goodly number of boys and young men willing to handle these chores. Doug Taylor, Rick MacDonald, Peter De- Vries, Don 'Cann, Brian Baynham, Larry Willert, Jim MacDonald, Gord Greenacre and Rick Boyle are a few of the boys Who have been giving free- ly of their time in an officiating capacity. A step in the right direction to continue A steady flow of competent officials is being taken by 'the Lake Huron Zone Minor Sports Commit- tee in holding referees and rules clinics in the area, One of these clinics was held in Wingham a week ago With Larry Stire, Frank Boyle, Gerald 'McBride, Peter DeVries and Larry Willett ac- companying Don Gravett, area chairman. The in- structor in charge was George Bayne, referee-in- chief of minor hockey in Hamilton. All in all, Exeter has a very effective minor set-up, thanks to the gentlemen mentioned along with many others behind the scenes, in- cluding arena Manager Alvin Willett. We are pleased to pay tribute to everyone involved dur- ing minor hockey week Let's show Our appreciation to them by attending as many games as possible not only this week but as often throughout the year as possible.
