If the juniors beat Mitchell Wed- nesday, they clinched the title; however a loss would give St. Marys a chance to tie them. There will be no playoffs in the local conference, unless there is a tie for top spot. The winner of the schedule goes directly into playdowns with the winners of the northern. Coach Mickle's Panthers started slowly againet St. Marys waiting for the second half to establish a comfortable margin. The quarter scores were 8-7, 20-16 and 38-24. Steve Kyle led the local at- tack with 19 points. His five field goals in the second quarter kept the Panthers in the game at that stage. He added four more in the last half.

John Loader and Jim Kearney were responsible for the home team's output with Mike McLean and Jim Gilpin registering for the visitors. The final 20 minutes told the story as Barry Baynham found the target twice and Marvin Bower, frank DeVries and Ricky Weber registered once to bring the final score to 7-2. Although the bantam score ended 1-0 play was fast and exciting throughout. The home team, despite the fact they fail- ed to score, carried the ma- jority of the play. Captain Mike Cushman led his midget team-mates in the 7-1 romp with a pair of goals and an equal number of assists. Two series deadlocked in Big Eight playdowns Winter 'takes' Gary Ford, two each. St. Marys' leading hoopster Was H, Oostenhilrg with 10 points, followed by S. Witevens and S. Skipper with seven and six each.

In the "A" series Lucan- Ilderton Combines and Sea- forth Towners have each claim- ed a one-goal victory and this series will probably go right to One of the lesser publicized sporting gretIPS in the district takes to the ice .at the Exeter Arena each Saturday afternoon. We are speaking of the Exeter Figure Skat, ing Club whose members work out for two hours each week under the guiding eye of club pro Miss Faye Love of Walton. This year's executive, under the direction of Mrs. Wilma Brintnell, •are working diligently on plans for the club's annual carnival. The upcoming event will be entitled "Artistry On Ice" and will be held at the arena on Saturday, March 23, at 8,00 p.m, with each and every one of the 45 or so members taking part in at least two numbers. Of the above-mentioned membership, the age range is from three to 14, with girls predominating. These classes got under way in November and are grouped not by age but by advancement in skating abilities. Since early January all mem- hers have been working on special numbers for the carnival, with a twist number by two of the begin- ner groups being one of the highlights of the local portion of the presentation. In addition to the display of local skaters, several out-of-towners will be featured. Bob McCrabb of the Point Edward Skating Club will be showing the ice talents that won him the Western Ontario men's senior singles laurels. Bob has just returned from the Canadian championships at Edmonton where he placed fifth in the men's singles division. An added attraction will be the appearance of a talented pair of youngsters from Clinton, Mary Sills and Bruce Brady, recently crowned juvenile pairs winners at the Western Ontario skating meet held at Galt. On the afternoon of March 23, the executive and their husbands will be busy decorating for the event. Anyone with a few spare hours and a pair of willing hands will be more than welcome at the arena to help out. In making arrangements, the executive finds that a spotlight is on the wanted list for the big night. If anyone has a spare one on hand, its use for the night would be appreciated. FISHING SEASON OPENS! During the frigid weather we are enjoy- ing (?) the next item should at least be interesting. The speckled trout seasons opens tomorrow, March 1. Before the local anglers get their tackle and boots out of storage, we should add that the early opening applies only to Eastern Ontario. This is the first year that the rod and reel men will have a chance to get a fresh trout din- ner before the traditional May 1 opening. There has been no change in season starts in the Western Ontario areas. So, we will have to envy our fishing cousins to the east for the next eight weeks. The boundary where the new regulation will be in effect will be a line running north from Trenton to the foot of Algonquin Park then zig- zagging up to the Ottawa River. Congratulations are in order to Peg Hunter- Duvar in qualifying for the Eastern Canada Five Pin Bowling Championships to be held at the Plantation Lanes in Islington, March 16 and 17. Bowling in the district finals in Mitchell several weeks ago, the leader in the local ladies league high average department with 213, rolled a 2096 ten-game total to enable her to enter the big event.

Crediton Hawks emerged win- ners in the four-team South Huron Rec league that saw ac- tion every Tuesday during the winter. In the final series, Crediton eliminated Hensall in three straight games, taking thethird contest by a 14-6 margin. Varna edged Zurich 5-4 to win the consolation trophy.

The important third game will be played at Lucan, Saturday. Mitchell Red Devils and Mil- verton Topnotchers are also tied at a game apiece in their set-to with the third game going in Milverton to-night, Thurs- day.

The midgets opened their play-off round Saturday with a 5-1 decision in Wingham and the bantams travelled to the same town Monday to romp off with a convincing 11-2 victory. Both Wingham entries were in town last night, Wednesday, for the second games in the best two-of-three series. PENALTIES DECIDE In a penalty-filled, rugged contest the Exeter midgets came out on the top end of a OUTOX4LkliSBETAIMitat• 5-1 count in WinghamSaturday. The boys from the radio town chose to play a hard-hitting, rough brand of hockey and picked up 12 of the 16 calls for infractions of the rules. Although there was very little to choose betweenthe two clubs, frequent manpower advantage gave the local kids a decided edge on the scoreboard. Bob McDonald and Jack Glo- ver contributed the biggest por- tion of the winners' scoring, each scoring twice and assis- ting on another. John Lock added the odd mar- ker, while Jim Bateson was the only Winghamite to beat Tommy Glavin in the nets for the locals, who were playing under the di- rection of Manager Lloyd Cush- -Please turn to page 10 Road-Try the Value Buy CHEVROLET TRUCKS District farmers proved they can handle rocks andbropms as well on the curling rink as they do on the farm in taking 711 the top prizes at the Exeter curl- ing Club's invitation farmers' bonspiel.

In the last part of the fray the farmers came to life to pretty well trade hoop for hoop in wide-open action. Tom Burke after missing last week's action, came back to rack up 18 points to lead the winner's attack and keep him- self in third spot in the scoring race with 134. Don McCauley, John McCar- roll and Jack Wong picked up 14, 12 and 10 points respec- tively to add the bulk of the remaining scores for the Shi- ners.

Schroeder found the range for all of his points in a short few minutes of the third quarter.

As in 1962 the Centralia boys enjoyed a lead after two periods of play only to falter iii the closing minutes.
