TO HOCKEY BY THE CANADIAN AMATEUR HOCKEY ASSOCIATION Strathroy Rockets took a one- game edge in the best-of-seven Shamrock junior finals in Rel.'- sail Friday with a 4-3 triumph over the Hensall-Zurich Com, bines. The fourth game goes to- night, Thursday, in Strathroy with number five scheduled for Hensall, Saturday. As in the previous encounters Larry Wood in the Strathroy net was the main stumbling block for the Combines Way, He turned in a stand-put per- formance getting able assis- tance from the scoring prowess of Ken Fadelle. After going through the first 20 minutes without lighting the scoreboard, the visitors got going quickly in the second and were out in front at the 28- second mark on Alex Camp- bell's counter. Fadelle, who joined the Com- bines in est year's bid for an OHA title, broke loose to make it 2-0 on a solo effort near seven minutes of the second and kept his club's scoring going with his second of the fray early in the third. Steve Kyle, who figured in all Combines goals, sandwiched his first at 13.20 between Fa- delle's tallies. Bob Johnston found the mark for the H-Z boys second score early in the third as he con- verted a neat combination from Kyle and Bill Shaddick. Goal number four for the winners, the decider, came as Clubs gain final round The Shamrock minor final rounds are now underway, with both Exeter pee wees and mid- gets in the running. The first games were played at home last night, Wednesday, with the pee wees returning to Lucan Friday with Lambeth and the Midgets tackling Kensal Park in Strathroy, Wednesday. The pee wees reached the finals by eliminating Kensal Park in a total-goal series by a 18-2 count. The final touches in eliminating the Parkers were administered last week in Strathroy by way of a7-1 romp. Bill Fairbairn, Graham Hern, and John Roulston provided the most of the scoring punch with a pair each while Barry Bayn- barn added a solo marker. This column will contain a mixture of ,sporting happenings since we come to one of the times in the year when several sperts everlaP, Although the .Stanley Cup play-offS will capture most attention for the next month, the big league baseball season opens in less than two weeks, . The NHL race that finished on the weel- end was the closest in many a moon with only five points separating the four play-off contend- ers, The Leafs' league-leading total of 82 points was the lowest to cop honors since the 70-game schedule was introduced in 1949-50. It was the. smallest winning point total since Toronto won the title with 77 points over a 60-game sked in 1947-48. By this time the first games in each round will be history. Sportswriters are expected to go out on a limb and pick winners, so here goes. We will crawl out on the creaking branch and pick Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings to battle in the final struggle for the Stan- ley silverware. Reasons? Both the Leafs and Red Wings seem to have the same things going for them. Each team holds an edge in games won during the regular schedule over their opponents. Again, Imlach's and Abel's charges came on with strong finishes and are in good shape physically while the Habs and Hawks are hampered with injuries. Okay, men, rush right out and lay your wagers on the Hawks and Canadiens. Speaking of picking winners, we recently came across a list of predictions of the NHL race by sportswriters from the six big league cities. Of these 18 so-called experts only one (and he was from Chicago) chose the Toronto team to finish on top, and only five felt Detroit was strong enough to make the playdowns. With Stanley Cup playoffs being featured on TV for the next couple of weeks, hockey fans will likely be again subjected to unnecessary de- lays due to the ice being littered by all kinds of objects, particularly in the American cities. This practice seems to be spreading around the world as we saw a boot and a hat float onto the ice during one of the world championship games in Sweden. A cartoon shown elsewhere on this page depicts what happens to a promising hockey player when he fell on a scrap of paper that was carelessly thrown on the ice. We witnessed one of these displays in Lucan Friday when a couple of irresponsible fans tried to spoil the game for the rest of the over 1,100 spectators by throwing "bombs" on the ice. Apparently these objects are about the size of a golf ball and ex- pode on contact. After four or five had been thrown in the vicinity of Gar Baker in the Sea- forth net, the referees threatened to call the game and rightly so before someone was injured. With growing interest in the NHL play- downs, district fans shouldn't overlook the ter- rific playoff hockey going on in this district. It's just as exciting as the professional brand and the boys dserve full support of the local fans in their quest for titles. Exeter midgets have taken another step toward the OMHA championship by eliminating Byron in a total goals series. Their next oppon- ents in the semi-finals will be from Humberstone of the Niagara district with the first game in Exeter Friday night at 8.45. Exeter "spies" in Elmira, Monday, to watch the Humberstone boys eliminate Elmira in a third overtime period, report the Niagara club to be a bunch of big, hard-hitting fellows. An amusing sidelight to the upcoming series is that the visiting club will be sporting the name of "Boomer's Lunch" on their sweaters in the battle against "Boom" Gravett's midgets. Ready for lunch, Boom? n. tt" Belated congratulations are in order to the SHDHS boys' basketball clubs in winning Huron- Perth cage titles in spectacular fashion. Both quintets came up with exciting finishes in their home games to overcome deficits from the open- ing contests at Clinton, Seniors and juniors alike, under the capable coaching of Glenn Mickie and George Wright, displayed terrific never-give-up spirit. While dwelling on the hoop sport, we ad- vise anyone interested in watching exciting action to drop up to SHDHS for the next couple of, Thursday evenings. The rec league finals are underway and fans are Welcome. There's no ad- mission charge since the boys take care of ex- penses by the pay-to-play system. OVER TO BASEBALL With the weather finally changing for the better and baseball around the corner, hurlers in the district may be interested in a new gadget invented by Johnny Sain, pitching coach of the Yankees, Sain calls it "The Baseball Spinner" but the patent office in Washington has it listed as "Baseball Pitching tducational Device", The device is simple enough, It's a base- ball fastened On a plastic axis with the centre of gravity perfectly in balance% To operate, you simply grip the handle with one hand and spin the baseball with the other, The Aim of the new invention is to help pitchers to get the proper spin on their various throws, especially curves And sliderS. Sain says "Wu Can spin it 20 or So times With abtolutely no strain on the Arm and there is no other way you can practise a breaking pitch with less physical effort" The weather for catching fish is that weather, and no other, in which fish are caught.

It is my contention that the parents to whom this applies, could not care less whether his or her boy or boys are playing on a championship, or any other team. In my estimation all our mi- nor hockey players have worked hard this past season to endea- vor to obtain championship ho- nours. There are also many men, coaches, managers, dri- vers etc., who help to keep the kids playing organized hockey. The least this majority of parents could do would be to encourage and support their boys in their vigorous and un- tiring efforts. We have a bantam and midget team who are playing now in the Shamrock League playoffs, and with any kind of luck and good support, they could go all the way. On Saturday, April 6, there is a bantarri tournament being held in Lucan, with, of course, the Irish kids taking part. So let all you parents who feel you are pert of this majority, get out and cheer these kids in their quest for championship and tournament honours, P.L.

Squirts trail by one goal Exeter squirts, playing in Walkerton Friday, dropped the first game of the WOAA finals 5-4 to the home-town kids in the opener of a total-goal se- ries. The second and final game goes at the Exeter arena Friday at '7 p.m. Bob Murray and Barry Bogden were the big guns for the Bruce county boys, the former net- ting a hat trick and the latter netting a pair. Larry Haugh with two goals and singles from Jun Guenther and Brad Klumpp accounted for the Exeter The home team broke in front quickly with a 3-0 lead In the first half before the Exeter kids got untranked. Haugh and Klumpp tied the score by the siX minute mark of period. Murray completed his three- goal effort four minutes later to put his team into' a temporary lead only to have Guenther equa- lize the score again at 12.52. With only a minute and ten seconds to gO, Bogden found the range to give his tea.in mates a one goal edge for the return game.

THIRD PERIOD RALLY With a strong last session 11--Z behind seek win tonight finish that produced four goalSt Poom's boys were able te leave their home rink with_ a cem,- fortable Margie after Friday night's contest. A three-goal effort from Gary Parsons led the winning ettank, with three team-mates helping the cause with a pair each, Double scorers were John Loch, Jack Clever and Bob Burns While Mike Cushman nabbed a single. Dave Gorman was the big marksman for Byron with four, all coming in the first gsminu- Os of play. After this Comae was held in close check and kept off the score sheet, Rich Bacon and Ricky Thorpe nabbed singletons to round out the visitor's scoring. The Byronites started strong and held a slight edge in play for the first half of the contest but seemed to run out of steam as the Exeter attack kept pres- sing. Glover's goals came in a seven-second stretch early in the second while Loch found the range for his pair in a short space late in the game. STAY IN FRONT Breaking in front early on a neat effort by Bob Burns the E x et erites stayed in front throughout the contest to not only maintain the total goals lead but add a couple to the margin. Later in the first frame, the clubs traded markers, Gary Parsons getting his first of two and Rich Bacon tallying for Byron. Parsons notched the final of his pair to account for the only sniping of the second 20 minu- tes. In the final period, with the home team opening up in an effort to get back in the run- ning, Tommy Glavin in the Exe- ter nets was called upon to make a lot a good stops. Bacon and Don Hodgins were the only two able to beat Glavin in the stretch drive while John Loch and Mike Cushman replied for the winners. Mac Westgate grabbed a long Pass from Fadelle to get the best goal of the night, Kyle made things a tittle cozier with less than five minu- tes left on the clock as he Wicked in a close drive after several rebounds. The Rockets won in all de- partments, drawing four of the five penalties handed out by the officials, Frank Slota and Ed Malcheski of Kitchener.

What proved to be the winner was fired by Jack McIlWain Shortly past the five-minute mark in period three as he found the net near the right post after Scarborough had made numerous sparkling saves. Playing coach Ken Doig sup- plied the clincher only three minutes later when he picked the short side on a break from the blue line with a Combine resting in the penalty box. With elimination coming clo- ser, the Combines threw cau- tion to the winds and, although mustering a few good attacks, were unable to register, due mainly to tireless checking by the Towners. Both clubs stuck strictly to hockey in the entire contest. Only five infractions were cal- led by referees Ken McFadden and Fred Houghton of London, Draw finals start today 12, Edna Busche 4, Helen Jer- myn 11, Jean Page 9, Edith Boyle 12, Maxine Graham 4, Jean Pecille 12, Maida Gaiser 2, Mary Martin 11, Lee Dobbs 2, Pauline Simmons 10, Lois Webb 8.

Seventh and deciding game in the Big Eight OHA semi-finals, delayed fir a week, turned out to be well worth waiting for. With 1,136 paying customers in the Lucan arena Friday, Seaforth Towners downed the hometown L-I Combines 3-1 on the strength of an early third period two goal splurge. The Towners will now meet 1v1 ilv e r ton Topnotchers in a four-of-seven set to decide lea- gue winners. After a scoreless first per- iod, the teams opened up in the second. The Seaforth club held a good margin of the middle session play but Keith Scar- borough in the Combines cage came up with all but one of 23 shots fired at him to keep his teammates in the running. Bill McLaughlin's long screened shot from the left side near the point found the mark to open the scoring at 2.26 with help from Jim Dick and Ken Doig. Nearly ten minutes later the home-town fans came to life as Stu O'Neil broke through the defence and although thwarted Prout, Mary Farrow, Margaret McCarter; Audrey McDonald, Verna Fink, Ruby Beaver, Mar- garet McBride, Willa Wuerth, Jean Snell, Lorraine Alexander and Shirley Davidson.

At a meeting last week, an executive was elected for the men's curling club, which pre- viously has been operated by the directors of the company. The new officers are Bill Lam- port, president; Wallace Seldon, and Mel Gaiser, vice-presi- dents; Claude Farrow, secre- tary - treasurer; Harry Sher- wood, secretary. By DICK WEBER Men's regular curling sche- dule for the 1962-63 seasonhas been completed. The third draw champion is the George Busche rink, Monday night winners. George Busche and DickJer- rnyn finished the Monday sche- dule in a dead heat. In their sudden-death playoff, Busche defeated Jermyn and automa- tically earned the right to be in the draw final because of high point count for the three nights. The Tuesday night draw also ended with two teams tied for top spot. Both the Claude Far- row and Art Cann rinks had 62 points and in that playoff game, Cann defeated Farrow and Went on into the draw semi-finals against the Thursday winner, Charlie Shane.
