In 1863, Eddie Cuthbert of Philadelphia became the first person to try to steal a base. Scholars disagree on whether he was safe or out. Play-offs in Shamrock junior ptay are moving along.

One of the features of the third period was the. penalty killing efforts of Bruce Berton, Bill Murney and Earl Wagner as they kept their opposition off the score sheet near the half- way mark when they were play- ing four men to five. The entire contest was played in typical play-off fashion, fea- turing furious action and was well handled by the officials, Jack Holt and Bill Gough of Strathr, oy.

Playing the opening game of a best of three set in Clinton Wednesday, the local P-Wees used a third period barrage of seven goals to advantage in racking up an 11-3 win. John Loader turned In a tre- mendous performance, go i ng both ways all evening. With his energetic ptyle of play, the coach's son picked up a hat- trick plus one to lead the sni- pers for the night. Frank DeVries was a close second in the scoring depart- ment finding the range three times in a short spurt early in the closing session to get his scoring chores over in a hurry, Potting markers in periods one and three, Ricky Weber came up with a two-goal ef- fort. Bill F a.i rb airn and Barry Baynham found the range for single tallies late in the con- test to bring the winners total to eleven.

Last week in this column it was said that lightning isn't supposed to strike twice in the same place, but apparently did. This time we would tear apart another old adage "Where there is smoke there is fire". We were in Toronto last Monday night and travelled down to the hockey house that Smythe built and learned much to our disappointment that there may have been some smoke but certainly very little fire to the Trail Smoke Eaters who were beaten quite handily by a pick-up univer- sity squad. • Canada's national puck representatives were outhustled from the word go by the col- legians who, with persistent fore-checking, were bottling up any attack before it started and con- tinually beating the westerners to the puck. Before fautling the Smokies too much, one should realize that here is a team without a league to play in during the season and had to be content to face sometimes inferior opposition in exhibition tilts. In the Toronto contest they were obviously leg weary after playing three times in four days against tough Senior OHA competition, which could account in part for an inept offensive display. On the other side of the ledger their de- fensive as well as offensive manoeuvres left plenty to be desired as several lapses turned out to be costly. The first of the night came as Bill Mahoney of the Stars drew goalie Seth Martin badly out of position and slid the puck wide of the corner only to have an obliging Trail de- fender deflect it into his own net. Late in the game as the Smokies became frustrated by the continuous energetic play of the collegians, they resorted to several illegal tactics in international rules, bodychecking in an attack- ing zone, which brought displeasure from the very sparse crowd in Maple Leaf Gardens. The only bright spots for Bobby Kromm's aggregation were the performance of a couple of pucksters who are old hands at Olympic and World championships. Harry Smith, big, hard-hitting rearguard, and veteran forward Jackie McLeod showed well against the fired-up youngsters from six eastern schools. After watching 'a fairly impressive show- ing by the collegiate all-stars we come to realize that Father David Bauer may be on the right track in bringing along a bunch of university hockeyists for future international competitions. If this single game effort 'after only two or three workouts together is any indication of the type of hockey that can be dished up by these boys, a 11 4 team practicing as as unit for several years may An be able to regain our country's once traditional the lice supremacy. is of As for the showing that can be expected marklin next month's world title series in Sweden Ano'rom our national reps, we feel they will be for-Nurse. jor pate to finish any higher than third, unless of dren irse some of the senior clubs relent and send All arditional help in the next couple of weeks. this ser' i711:1[11110 Detroit cops mite tourney Detroit Rooster Tails walked off with the top award at the first annual mite hockey tournament held at RCAF Clinton Saturday, taking all three games by the shut-out route. They dropped Forest 4-0, Goderich 11-0 and Clinton RCAF 12-0. Exeter's mighty mites under the guidance of Lorne Haugh and Bill Gilfillan dropped both of their games by identical 3-2 counts to Goderich and Forest. The boys from the Lambton County town Went on to cop the consolation award, downing Clinton 4-1 in the final. The local kids, with only one practice before the Clinton event, turned in a creditable showing, holding a 2-1 edge in their first outing only to run out of steam late in the game. Peter Glover picked up both scores in the loss to Goderich, one coming on a clean cut break- away. Glover was chosen third star of the tourney, Robbie Lindenfield and Donny Thompson took care of the scor- ing in the afternoon contest. With the Big Eight schedule all but completed, Lucan-Ilder- ton Combines have clinched the title ending on top with a total of 32 points. At the moment Philipsburg Chevs are in the runner-up po- sition with 29 and Milverton Topnotchers breathing down their necks with 28. Milverton have a previously postponed game with Forest to get in and with a victory in this tilt could move over the Chevs into second. Play-off arrangements have not been completed, but it is ex- pected first place Luca.n-Ilder- ton will be taking on fourth spot Seaforth in the A series. The first and second spot clubs have their choice in picking a play-off opponent, with the two clubs that are left meeting in another series. The Combines from the Irish town sewed up first spot with a win in Forest Thursday and dropped a 6-4 decision to Mil- verton Tuesday to give the Perth County boys a chance at second position and a choice of naming their play-off rivals. Dusty Aldis, DonFletcher, Ken Loft and Captain Steve Storey pulled the trigger on the goals in the Combine's 4-1 tri- umph in Forest Thursday to wrap up league laurels. Dave Alpaugh was the lone Forest contributor. COACH STARS Playing coach Max O'Neil with a goal in each period led the Combines in a losing cause as Milverton stayed in conten- tion with a 6-4 victory.

COMBINES COP FIRST Ron Livermore's goal from directly in front at 16.29 of the final period proved to be the winning margin as Hensall-Zu- rich Combines drew first blood in the "A" series of Shamrock junior action shading St. Marys 4-3 on home ice Saturday. The teams traded goals in a very evenly contested opening frame that was highlighted by fine goal-tending at either end as Dennis Mock and Marty Hum- phries turned aside many dan- gerous drives. Dennis Skipper put the visi- tors out in front temporarily at 9.45 as he fired a close-in screened shot that found the mark. Less than two minutes later „Bob Johnston swooped in from the right side to hit the corner with a low fifteen foot drive to knot the count. Combines produced the only goals of the second ,stanza to move into a 3-i lead after forty minutes of play. Goal number two came from the stick of defenceman Bill Murney on a glazing screen shot from near the point after ta- king a pass from Livermore. Bill Shaddick fired the second of the period as his line-mates controlled the puck around the St. Marys cage for about 30 seconds while the referee was calling a delayed penalty on a visiting defender. The St. Marys club came out flying to start the final session and had tied the count with a pair of quick scores before the three minute mark by Mur- ray Watkinson and Wayne Mc- Kenney. For the next 13 minutes the clubs turned in some exciting puck action moving back and forth and keeping the fans on the edge of their seats. LiVermore's winner was on a beautifully executed play. The young centre took a pass from "This is one of those days when nothing seems to go wrong." HOCKEY EXETER ARENA Sat. Feb. 23 - 7 p.m. CENTRALIA HAWKS VS. R.C.A.F.

In one of the lowest score pro- ducing first halves of the season the clubs ended up with eleven points apiece. With George Wright's 13- points helping considerably, the teachers ran up a 26-20 margin in the remaining quarters to eke out the slim decision. Ivan Hunter-Duvar's seven field goals accounted for a large portion of the ruralites tally- ing getting able assistance from lanky Harry Schroeder with seven points.

After Thursday's action the teacher's margin has been cut to three, just ahead of a new threat, Don O'Brien, of last year's cham- pion Hustlers who moved ahead of the idle Burke. O'Brien came .up with a 26- point effort when his team was downed by the upsurgiug Moon- shiners 73-55 in the first half of the twin-bill. Wright managed to stay out in front. His 17 points were the main reason the Peripatetic Pe- dagogues edged the Flying Far- mers 37-31 in the night's wind- up, With only three weeks of play remaining in the regular sche- dule a scant two points separate the top three clubs in the stand- ings. At the moment the Hust- lers and P-Pers are tied on the top rung with the Shiners' breathing down their necks in the second spot. OUTSHINE HUSTLERS With Don McCauley firing the majority of the ammunition, the Shiners made up mostly of air force personnel leaped into a 20-12 first stanza lead and were never headed. The tall centre dropped in five shots from the floor in the open- ing quarter, came back with six points in each of the in-between periods and netted five field goals in the final. Al Wiper and John McCarroll backed up McCauley's effort with steady performances net- ting nineteen and fourteen points respectively. Don O'Brien kept his club in contention for most of the game finding the baskets for thirteen points in each half. Keith Lo- vell was the next largest con- tributor for the losing Bust- lers hitting the scoreboard for thirteen. Hawks take two losses Squirts lose 3-2 in exhibition tilt Keeping in condition for the upcoming WOAAplaydowns, Exeter squirts travelled to God- erich Thursday to take a 2-1 loss from the lakeporters in an exhibition set-to. As in most of the six contests played by the two young clubs this year, one goal was the dif- ference on the night's play. Stuart Asher and Chris Sea- ger nabbed the Goderich mark- ers and Larry Haugh was re- sponsible for the lone reply from the Exeter kids. Johnny Hayter, appearing in the nets for the first time in a complete game, turned in a steady effort in a losing cause.

THS MITES Up at RCAF Cinton Saturday their fine new arena was a beehive of activity as eight teams of seven- and eight-year-olds competed in the first of what is hoped to be an annual Mite event 'at the air station, This was one day that most of the young- sters taking part will remember for a long while. In addition to playing twice, regardless of the outcome of their first outing, the little guys were treated royally all day long, having the oppor- tunity to watch films of last year's Stanley Cup final and other hockey features. After each game the players were whisked by bus from the arena to the mess hall for re- freshments, and this is another department where most of the boys made 'a creditable showing. At the evening banquet where Tory Gregg was the guest speaker, each mite from the eight clubs received a crest recognizing his participa- tion in the tourney. The big highlight for most of the kids was the presence of the Detroit Rooster Tails, an entry from across the border that included some fa- mous names in the hockey world. The name of Howe was represented by two of Gordie's sons, Mark •and Marty. Both boys differ from their father in that they shoot from the left side. Seven- year-old Mark looks like the better prospect at the moment. He is a stronger skater than 'his brother Marty, a year older. The Detroit club, due mainly to their superior skating abilities, had little trouble in copping the tourney title, winning three straight times by shut-outs. Although 'having a very quiet day, the fel- low responsibe for turning in the whitewash jobs answered to the name of Sawchuck. Eight-year-old. Gordy, while he came up with the same end result as his dad often does, also differs from his senior in that his style of net-minding reminded one more of a fellow by the name of Plante. He was quite free in making sev- eral jaunts out of and behind his net to clear loose pOcks. A pleasing part of this mite tourney was the scarcity of whistles mid stoppages of play. We would like to thank tournament chair- man Bud ltelly and his very -competent commit- tee for their fine 'hospitality during the few short hours of our stay, 'also thanks to the former author of this column, Bill Batten, especially for his guidance in finding the dining hall at chow time, * * A reminder' to Centralia Hawk ficillOWers that the Training Command semi-finals with Camp Borden supplying the nppesitien.

The busiest man at the Exeter Arena Thursday was the score- keeper as the Seaforth Towners and Centralia. Hawks fattened their scoring totals. After the final tabulation the visiting TownerS were on the top end of a 16-10 count, Al Simpson led the Hawks in a losing cause beating Cliff Pe- trie in the Seaforth net three times, two of which dame in the last 45 seconds of play. Five goals by Bill McLaughlin and.
