Panthers exploded for a72.48
win over Mitchell Wednesday,
Feb. 28, to clinch their title in
decisive style. The SH victory
destroyed Mitchell's hopes of
tieing the Panthers and forcing
a group playoff.
The juniors wound up their
schedule with an even more
convincing win--a 98.22 deci-
sion.
The title-clinching triumphs
indicate South Huron teams are
at their peak after a slow start.
They both lost their opening
games to Listowel but impreved
steadily to take command of
their respective leagues.
In the final games, Mitchell
remained within striking dis-
tance in the hrst halves before
South Buren turned on cham-
pionship pressure.
Steve Kyle, along with several
other Panthers, displayed his
best offensive form of the sear

dure was reversed, Paul Draper
doing the netting and Livermore
on the feeding end.
A quick line-change brought
goal number five 35 seconds
later, Brian Bonthron doing the
honours with help from Harold
Jacques and Earl Wagner.
Singles by Bill Shaddick and
Livermore wound up the middle
frame production.
The teams traded scores in

the night the Bantams allowed

or Kincardine.
CLOSING FLURRY
Taking advantage of better
conditioning the local lads out-
lasted their opposition on Exe-
ter ice Friday scoring half of
their goals in the last five
minutes of play to hang up a 10-4
win and enjoy a six goal margin
to take to Fergus.
In the first two frames play
was very evenly matched with
a 2-2 score being a good indi-
cation of the closeness.
Bob Grayer maintained his
late season high scoring record
accounting for the first Exeter
scores, one coming late in the
first and the other early in the
second.
Ron Weatherhead and Paul
Sullivan registered for Fergus
to put the boys on even terms
after forty minutes.

Opening the WOAA Midget
final on foreign ice in Kincar-

contest that was in doubt to

Both clubs turned in a good
brand of hockey that kept a
crowd of about 400 on the edges
of their seats throughout.
Two goals from free wheeling
Larry Stire gave the locals a
2-1 edge after one period of
action, with Tim Bell the only

sheet.

goals in the middle twenty mi-
nutes from the sticks of Came-
ron Wilson and the Bell Boys
Steve and Tim.
The Exeterites returned with
a strong effort as John Lock

Bob Storie, Allan Thompson

firing end of these three way
combinations.
Larry Stire with his first on
the way to a hat trick and a
single unassisted tally from Ron
Broderick put the locals out in
front 9-0 when the clubs headed
for the dressing rooms for the
second time.
Stire came back to complete
his three goal performance in
forty-five seconds of his first
whirl on the ice in the last
period and along with a solo
effort from Bob McDonald

confined their scoring to the
first half of the opening period
and the closing minutes of the
game.
As in St. Marys they had the
goal judge on his toes before
some of the fans were in their
seats. Ron Livermore started
the action with a whistling drive
from the left side that hit the
boards, bounced back over the
net out in front and before Marty
Humphries knew where the puck
was Craig Chapman had slapped
it home.
Goal number two came on a
neat passing play culminatedby
Wayne Willert. Earl Wagner
carried over the St. Marys
blue-line, faked a shot, dropped
the puck back to a flying Brian
Bonthron, who flipped it back
to Wagner, Wagner gave it to
Willert right on the edge of the
goal crease and the captain
tucked it into the empty corner.
Play in between the scoring
spurts was fast and furious
with many scoring opportunities
that just failed to materialize
or were thwarted by stellar net
guarding.
With two minutes left in the
tilt Bill Nurney was in the
right spot at the right time to
bounce in H-Z goal number
three on a rebound after Bob
Johnston and Bill Shaddick had
good shots blocked.
The line that started the game
finished it off, with Livermore
hitting the mark with help from
Draper and Chapman as Dennis
Skipper was serving time for
elbowing.
In posting his second white-
wash job of the year, Dennis
Mock turned in an outstanding
effort, particularly in the final
period as he made numerous
dazzling saves to deny the sco-
ring tries of the visitors.
Bill Murney was moved up to
right wing to replace flu-ridden
Steve Kyle and the big fellow
certainly didn't look out of place
up front as he scored once and
turned in a steadyperformance.
Area heckey clubs of all sizes and ages are
now busily engaged in play-off activities that will
provide plenty of puck chasing entertainment for
their fans the next couple of weeks.
Three of Exeter's minor teams have moved
past their first obstacles in WOAA playdowns and
are now tackling their next opponents.
The midgets, under the guidance of Don
Gravett and Lloyd Cushman, swept past Wing-
ham in easy fashion and are now battling Kincar-
dine in the finals,
Derry Boyle's bantams knocked off an-
other team from the radio-TV town and are well
on their way in the next set taking a six-goal mar-
gin back to Fergus.
The youngsters playing in the 12-and-under
pee wee division are awaiting further word about
their next opposition after easily disposing of Clin-
ton nearly two weeks ago,
To date, the three clubs mentioned have
posted terrific season records losing only four
times in a combined total of 78 games, and seem
to have an edge on their play-off opponents espe-
cially in conditioning,
We feel this edge has developed from the
busier schedule in which the local youngsters
have been competing. In most WOAA groups the
entries are fairly scarce and competition is limit-
ed. The Shamrock leagues have helped to give the
clubs more action to stay in shape.
For the first time since WOAA minor
hockey was started, a play-off series for squirts
has been organized and an entry from Exeter will
be in contention.
ANOTHER JUNIOR BATTLE COMING UP
In Junior D action, the Hensall - Zurich
Combines currently have a commanding three-
game lead in their best-of-seven series with St,
Marys, In the other half of the semi-finals, Strath-
roy Rockets are in a similar situation in their
battle with Forest.
Barring unforeseen complications, the
final struggle for junior supremacy should again
bring together last year's competitors.
According to Don Buddo, Shamrock minor
chief, there will be plenty of time allowed to
declare a district winner, with the deadline being
March 30.
If last year's battle is any indication of
what is to come that much time may be' neces-
sary. A year ago the clubs needed a second series
to decide a winner after the first ended in a stale-
mate.
The team that does emerge as the local
champion will probably jump right into the pro-
vincial final as there are only four other junior
outfits of the same classification in the running,
all being in the eastern part of the province.
The H-Z club has compiled a terrifc record,
dropping only one of their 27 starts to date, that
coming in the final of the regular schedule. The
team is in good physical condition with the return
of Larry Bedard after an ankle injury and should
be in a position to take a good shot at the OHA
honours that narrowly escaped them last year.
In intermediate company, the other Com-
bine entry from Lucan-Ilderton, after finishing
on top in the regular Big Eight schedule, has run
into a snag in the play-off round with Seaforth
and trail by one game at the moment.
ZONE MINOR TOURNEY HERE
The Exeter arena will be a busy spot on
March 16 when the Lake Huron Zone Recreation
Minor Tourney will be run off.
This tourney will embrace squirt, pee wee,
bantam and midget divisions and eligibility will
be confined to house league players who have not
signed WOAA certificates.
This gives the boys that don't quite make
the all-star clubs a chance to show their ice abili-
ties against district pucksters of their own calibre.
The teams competing here will come from
Huron and Perth Counties and the winners will
advance to the finals in Harriston a week later
against the best of a similar tourney to be held in
Owen Sound for northern youngsters.

BANTAMS FINISH STRONG
The Bantams in copping the
game and the series moved into
a 4-1 first period lead, slowed
down to two goals in the centre
session and came romping home
with a six goal outburst in the
last twenty minutes,
Scott Burton and Bob Grayer
were the big gunners in the
local attack, each picking up
four points on the score sheet.
Burton's point getting was
confined to goals, two coming in
the first and the balance unas-
sisted-in the final.
Smooth skating Grayer picked
up three counters and an assist
in a furious flurry confined to a
three and a half minute space
early in the third.
Glenn Overholt lent able sup-
port to the winning total with
a duo of goals, while singles
were added by Bill Beavers,
Peter Lawson and Mark Hinton.
Gary Carter, Brian Carr and
Ted Renwick contributed equal-
ly to the Wingham goal pro-
duction.
