Second Annual Minor Hockey FAMILY NIGHT Saturday, April 6 EXETER ARENA Hard-working trio sparks Midgets to three-goal lead This line of Allan Thompson, Bob Burns and John Loch scored six of the eight goals in Exeter Midgets' 8-5 win over Humberstone in the first game of the OMHA semi-finals Friday night. Second • game of the series will be played in Port Colborne this Friday night. --T-A photo In exciting hockey action at Exeter arena Saturday a visi- ting bantam team from Canning- ton battled to a 1-1 draw with a squad of youngsters from J. A. D. McCurdy school at RCAF Cen- tralia. The Centralia students under the direction of Bill Courtney were strengthened by two mem- bers of the Exeter bantams in challenging the visitors, last year's OMHA pee wee "D" champs. Ricky McLeish opened the score for the boys from Ontario County early in the first on a neat passing play with Bob Groves. The teams battled evenly through a scoreless se Gond frame with both goalies coming up with numerous key blocks. The Centralia lads gained momentum in the final 20 minutes and with Paul Mason, ,Bob Beavers and Scott Burton leading the way enjoyed a good majority of the play, Beavers fired the tying goal as he tipped in a pass after Mason had car- ried the full length of the ice. The game was complete with drum majorettes and cheerlea- ders to entertain the early eve- ning crowd. The girls traded their batons for brooms in the second inter- mission and showed everyone their housekeeping techniques while attempting to master the sport of broornball.

Gary Parsons and Allan ThemP- sop shared the four goals with the fernier getting his on a.pair of slap shots.. The first came as he faked a shot from pear the blue-line on the left side, moved around a defender and slapped a low drive into the far corner. Marker two for Parsons came as one pf his blazing shots changed directions on a deflec- tion and caught McDonald com- pletely off guard. Thompson's duo were the re- sult of tireless skating and continual plugging away With again the able help of Burns and Lech. While everyone on the team turned in a credit- able performance, the bulk of the gredit goes to this hard working line that were going both ways all evening. In a wide Open game with the accent on the offensive, the goalies were bombarded fairly heavily all night long. Tommy Glavin in the Exeter nets, while not quite as busy as the fellow at the other end, made a lot of key saves especially early in the third while his mates were try- ing to get back on top and left themselves wide open at times. LEADSHAMROCKSERIES In opening the two game final Shamrock series at home the Kinsmen sponsored midgets had a fairly easy romp, notching three unanswered tallies in the first, sharing four with the visitors in the middle period and winning the final 2-1 to take a comfortable four goal edge back to the home ice of the Parkers. Mike Cushman was respon- sible for firing numbers one and seven, with John Loch and Larry Stire notching the other initial frame counters. Jack Glover nabbed both markers in the second 20 minu- tes of action and Bob Burns added another late in the con- test. A two-goal effort from Greg Wood and a single from Dave Sharpe accounted for the Ken sal Park marksmanship. • CNfI OING GREAT GUNS. . . Chevy II 100 4-Door Station Wagon game away. Gerry Stratham applied the clincher on along screened shot from the point that deflected once and bounced past Dennis Mock. Bartholomew came back with his second of the fray as he beat a H-Z defender to a loose puck and moved in to fire a high drive home. With time running out, Earl Wagner chased a rolling puck down the ice and caught up to it about 20 feet in front of the net just as goalie Wood was arriving. "Cuss" sneaked the puck around the goalie and into a wide open net. In a close-checking contest at Strathroy Monday, the Rock- ets delivered the killing blow to any hopes the Hensall-Zurich Combines had of reaching the Ontario finals by scoring a narrow 3-2 decision. Ken Fadelle continued to be - please turn to next page minutes of the opening, banging in rebounds on goal-mouth scrimmaging. The best Scoring play of the entire game was turned in by Craig Chapman in putting his mates within hailing distance after the eleven minute mark. Chapman picked up a loose puck near the Strathroy blue- line and stick-handled slowly towards the net, evading all defenders to deposit a low shot into the short side. Each team drew five penal- ties in the second session but only one goal was notched. Bob Bartholomew gave his mates a 3-1 edge to take to the second intermission as he rapped in a close-in shot on about the fourth attempt. Although hampered by the soft ice, Combines kept pressing in an effort to get back in the game and the Rockets took advantage of a couple of breaks to salt the Strathroy Rockets pulled a minor upset in taking two of three contests from the favored Hensall-Zurich Combines in the past five days to win the Sham- rock junior title four games to two. The Combines evened the se- ries at two games apiece in Strathroy Thursday and then dropped the next two in Hensall Saturday and back in the Middle- sex town Monday. Strathroy will now move into the OHA Junior D finals pro- bably against opposition from Eastern Ontario. EVEN SERIES In a rough, penalty-filled Thursday contest away from home the Combines temporarily knotted the series with a 5-3 decision. Following the same script that has been used primarily in the entire series, the Rockets hit the score sheet first, not- ching two before six minutes had elapsed. The Westgate boys, Reg and Mac trigged the goals, only 50 seconds apart. Thirty-five seconds later, Ron Livermore was left loose on the edge of the crease and bounced in a relay from Craig Chapman. Earl Wagner, the only two- goal scorer of the night notched his first near the midway mark on a solo effort as he outdis- tanced the defenders on the right side and broke in alone to score nicely. Stalwart rearguard Bill Mur- ney and Wagner again were successful in beating Larry Wood in the Strathroy net before the first siren blew to give their mates a 4-2 edge. Murney's score came as he picked Up a drop pass from Livermore and blasted a long,low shot home i While Wagner's was the culmi- nation of a three-way pass pat- tern With Gerard Overholt and Larry Bedard, The hard-bitting style of play and frequent penalties kept both clubs on the defensive for Most of the remainder of the game as each theft could only score on one occasion. Strathroy's last goal came late in the second when Mac Westgate notched his second of the night. Bill Shaddick picked up the H-Z insurance Marker well on in the third by drawing Wood Out Of position neatly after being set in the clear by Earl Wagner.

Drive one today — and see for yourself I Chevy n 100 4-Door sedan One sour note that can be heard frequently in hockey and especially when the going gets close is the criticism levelled at referees. We have been trying to avoid this topic most of the winter but it keeps recurring almost weekly not only on the professienal scene but at the local amateur level, Coach Sid Abel of the Detroit Red Wings has been credited with making a few uncompli- mentary remarks about the qualifications of an official in Thursday's game in Chicago. Having picked the Wings to be one of the finalists for the battered Stanley mug, we would certainly like to see them come through but not if it has to be accomplished by blaming officials. We're not taking the stand that the refer- ees never make mistakes. They certainly do. Every human being that accomplishes anything errs occasionally. This would also include the coaches who seem to make rash statements at times. We won- der if these remarks are sometimes made to cover up for some dubious move on their behalf which Caused grief to come to their players or team. The amusing point seems to be that 14,000 people feel that they can see and judge the play just as well as the referees who follow the play up and down the ice. If this was actually the case we think the men in charge of the hockey rules committees would position the referees throughout the stands with whistles to call the infractions, so that they would be able to enjoy an occasional hot dog and coke and converse with their neighbours, Officials are on the ice and the largest majority of them strive to be in the best possible vantage points to govern fairly. Good examples of this were seen at the local arena Friday night when in each game a puck rolled along the goal-line and out the other side. In each case fans behind the net felt the puck had cleared the line for a goal, while others on the side looking at it from another angle dis- agreed. On both the referee was right on top of the play and waved them off very quickly even as the light was flashed on one. We have been told by fans locally that when they pay their money to come through the turnstiles they can holler at the officials what- ever and whenever they wish. That is fine and dandy and their privilege. But, what about the many small fry who hear their elders make fool- ish remarks? Does it go in one ear and out the other? Afraid not, usually it goes in one ear and out of the mouth sooner or later. We are not trying to say that all hooting and hollering at the men in charge of sports events should be eliminated, only some of the bitter and nasty statements. Several years ago, Ray Dumont the invent- ive genius behind the National Baseball Congress came up with a device to do away with arguments on calls of ball and strikes. An electric eye was placed at the plate to decide whether pitches caught the strike zone and flash the answer on the scoreboard. This gadget did a terrific job and left no room for controversy, but you can guess what happened. Fans couldn't suggest that it "open its eyes" or "have an eye"; it had a better one than they did. Batters couldn't turn around and ask the count or for an interpretation of a rule. This idea was quickly thrown in the trash can along with several others Dumont had tried out. Another of his dreams also worked quite ef- fectively, but again took some of the human participation away. It was an electric broom that was placed in the ground near the batter's box and when a button was pressed would come out of hiding and clear the dust away from home plate. While doing a thorough dusting job it left the man in blue with nothing to do, while previously this sweeping operation by hand sometimes helped to settle tensions that had arisen. This ratting on may not prove anything, but let's face the issue, officials will always be necessary. If you can't agree with them, try to ap- preciate some of the problems they encounter. Better still, try it yourself. Minor sports organ- izers, especially, are continually looking for more help in operating their program. FAMILY NIGHT COMING Hockey will continue to hold the sports spotlight locally for the next couple of weeks. In addition to the Exeter Midgets being in the thick of OMHA playdowns with the return game in Port Colborne, Friday, the Easter Week tournaments are quickly approaching. The important news to a lot of youngsters is the announcement that the second annual "Family Night" will be held at the Exeter Arena, Saturday, April 6. The feature attractions will be the finals in all house leagues that operated under the EMHA banner at the arena this past winter. An entire family will be admitted for the price of one dollar for the approximately four- hour long program. All of the squirts that take to the ice Saturday mornings will start the night away with the seven and under boys chasing pucks at 6,45 and the eight and nine year olds following at 7.80. In contrast to the N1IL final, the Canadians •and Ilanger,s will meet for the pee wee title at 8.15, followed by the bantam struggle at 9.00, pitting the Canticks and Mohawks against each ,other. Night's ,proceedings Will wind up with Lincoins and Creditors battling in the midget- juvenile sudden-death final at 9.45, A reminder to Lucan area fans that plenty of exciting action is in store for them on Satur- day as Norm Carter is staging ai bantam' tourna- ment at the Liman arena.
