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.

To the Sports Editor:
Through the media of your
newspaper I would like to chal-
lenge a large majority of the
parents of minor hockey players
in Lucan. 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,

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

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

With elimination coming clo-

mainly to tireless checking by

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

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

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. Cann defeated
Shane and then was himself de-
