It was a triree,tearn round robin affair with RCAF stations at Raymore 4114 Edgar being represented. Station Reyraere is located in the Kanuekasing district of Northern Ontarip while Station Edgar is in the Barrie area. The Centralia boys, under playing coach George Kelly-, dropped Edgar by three conse- cutive identical scores of 15-8 and disposed of Rayrnore with similar ease, 10,8, 15-8 and 15-6. In first game action, Edgar edged Reyreore 11-15, 16-14, and 17-15. The winning Centralia club was composed of Toni Burke, Bob Burke, Norm Parker, Al Wiper, Don McCauley, Ai Me- Boh Moyle and Ken Me- Kellar. Kelly attributed the win to a steady team effort from his entire squad.

With the second hand appro.- ehtng the e0 -rnintite mark, Tommy Glavin came up with prpbably hip best manoeuvre of the night. fle made a sliding pad save on Latinovich when the elusive captain found a clear path to the net. SCORE SHORTHANDED On two occasions in the clo, sing session one-man advan- tages for Humberstone seemed to backfire as Bob Burns and Gary Parsons flashed the light with a team-mate resting inthe penalty box. The goal by Burns came on a breakaway. He beat a Humber- stone clefenceman to a loose puck at centre ice and moved in quickly to pull McDonald Out of ppsition and slide the rubber into the twine at 2.15. Roaring right back, Latino- vich broke right through the defence and rifled a low shot that Glavin got a toe on to deflect high among the specta- tors. Moments later at the other end of the rink, Parsons let a slap shot go that goalie McDon- ald juggled and dropped. The puck rolled along the line to the post and was cleared by an alert defenceman. Goal number four for Exeter came from the stick of Gary Parsons. He let a long shot go from the left boards after theft of the puck from a hometown attacker who was trying to move out of his own end. In the last seven minutes of play, persistent checking bot- tled up most of the Humber stone threats before they really got started. The effective method used was to send one forward into the Humberstone end on a fore-checking tour and holding the other two in the centre ice area to cover the danger of a long pass. The Welland area squad never gave up and battled right to the wire in an attempt to get back in the running. They were re- warded at 16.40 when Ray Ar- nett rapped in a rebound to equalize the score at 4-4 and end the scoring for the night. Most of the 40 or so Exeter supporters who made the trip to Post Colborne were pleased with the team's performance especially after having to start the game almost immediately after they hit the ice. The first period gave the fans a few anxious moments but the youngsters settled down after the jittery start and turned in a steady effort both ways. • infami y night contests • • pass from the corner.

The Huntsville boys disposed of Napanee in fairly easy fashion in the other semi- final set. The first All-Ontarip series ever to involve an Exeter minor club will get under way this weekend with games in Hunts- ville, Friday and Saturday. Te elubs will return to Exe- ter arena for the third contest Monday, with the fourth and fifth games in the best of five series, if necessary, also here on successive nights, TuesdaY and Wednesday. All games in the series will start at 8.00 p.m. MAINTAIN LEAD The locals returned to Port Colborne Friday and held the Humberstone sextet to a 4-4 draw and won the round 12-9 on the strength of an 8-5 victory on home ice a week earlier. After a shaky defensive start, the Kinsmen-sponsored team was able to hold the score to 1-1 at the end of the first in Port Colborne, thanks to an outstanding netminding display by Tommy Glavin. Glavin made the difference in the opening 20 minutes, coming up with key saves as his mates apparently were getting the kinks out of their legs after the long trip. On the opening face-off Glenn Shirton, who was by far the best Humberstone performer, broke in alone from the blue- line only to have Glavin make the first of his many stops. Mike Cushman was the first to hit scoring pay dirt at 9.48 when he was moving across in front of the Humberstone net to backhand a Gary Parsons pass into a top corner as he was turned around by a defender. Play speeded up in the final half of the first and both goalies were again tested at close range with Glavin getting the most work. With Exeter a man short as time was running out in the first, Arnold Huffman knotted the count on a nice play. Ray Arnett set him loose on the right side on a long clearing pass. After the first rest the Exe- terites came out looking like a different el ub with stronger skating and stiffer defensive play. Bill McDonald in the Humber- stone net came up with fine stops on Mike Cushman and Parsons as the locals pressed early in the second in an endea- vor to increase the series mar- gin. Glenn Shirton, continually on the move, was finally rewarded at 9.42 as he outraced an Exeter defenceman down the right boards and drove a low shot into the short side to put his team out in front 2-1 and only two down on the round. Shortly after John Loch and Bob Burns had been robbed on close-in rebounds by McDonald, Jack Glover flipped a pass from the corner to the point and de- fence stalwart Ron Broderick's low screened shot found the mark to again tie things up.

LINCOLNS WIN The midget - juvenile battle pitted several of the midget all- stars against each other and in a real squeaker Lincolns edged Crediton 5-4. The Crediton kids moved into an early 3-0 lead on unassisted efforts from Dick Colter and Jim Pfaff and a combination play with Glenn O'Rourke tip- ping in a Pfaff pass. Larry Willert on a deflected drive from the point notched the first Lincoln counter and John Franklin fired a pair after Pfaff had nabbed his second to give Crediton a 4.3 margin, Gary Parsons was respon- sible for the final two goals both from the left side to ac- count for the victory. His first came on hard slap shot and the second as he faked a slap and snapped a wrist drive high into the net. eell11111111111111111101111intelfillItH11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111110111111111111111111111111111111111811111 ONTARIO MINOR HOCKEY ASSOCIATION E.= Lippert paces Lucan to Shamrock victory CAR BUYS FERTILIZER ALL-ONTARIO 1961 Chevrolet BISCAYNE SEDAN wheel discs, low mileage, one owner, MIDGET 'EV FINAL FOR LAWN&GARDEN Vigoro So Green Milorganite Peat Moss GREENFIELD PLANT & ROSE FOOD Best of five series 1st. & and.

The biggest news is Exeter Midget's move into the °MBA finals after eliminating a strong Humberstone club in a total-goal series. They now meet Huntsville, which defeated Napanee in the other semi-final, in a best-of-five set. This marks the first time that an Exeter Minor club has reached an Ontario hockey final. The local lads will go to Huntsville for two games Friday and Saturday. Then the teams re- turn for the final three games here Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, as needed. Huntsville scored 4-0 and 14-3 wins over Napanee which indicates the Exeter team will have a battle on its hands. Lou Passador, Ontario scout for the New York Rangers, who saw a por- tion of one game, reveals the Huntsville club is not as big as sonie of the northern finalists in the past but it's a fast club. Knowing the type of hockey the locals are capable of dishing up, this series should be a dandy from start to finish. One of the important factors in the series will be fan support, particularly for the locals when they return here after playing two games in enemy territory. A house full of home sup- porters would be a big help to the boys when they come back. Let's fill the arena for the home games. The brand of hockey will be just as exciting as anything that can be seen on the home TV screens. Although the crowds during the season have been sparse, interest has been picking up as the team moves up the play-off ladder as shown by the 40 or so fans that made the long jaunt to Port Colborne Friday night. One of the pleasing sidelights of the re- cently concluded Exeter-Humberstone series was the friendly rivalry between players and fans alike. Both games were very cleanly played as the boys stuck strictly to chasing the puck. One of the Humberstone fans told us it was a pleasure to watch these games after some of the rough and tumble clubs their team had en- countered in previous rounds. One of the little things that helped get the series off on the right foot was the sign that was placed in the hallway of the Exeter arena for the opening game. The placard read "Welcome Hum- berstone to the Proud Town of Exeter". Several visiting fans were heard making comments about the friendly gesture and this was returned with a similar welcome to the Exeter players and fans in the lobby of the Port Col- borne arena. The Gravett-coached club has piled up an enviable record over the past few months in their various leagues, losing only two of the 38 games played. The other three minor all-star teams will also be in for a busy time with Easter tourna- ments. The 12-and-under Pee Wees with five titles in their possession will be in Goderich Friday in quest of the Young Canada title that has been eluding them in the past. Their toughest opposition could appear in the very first game when they tackle Woodbridge, a club that knocked off the locals in the semi- finals a couple of years ago. The Bantam All-Stars will be early risers Saturday morning when they face Levack, a town in the Sudbury area in the annual Georgetown tourney at 7:30 a.m. A few miles away at Brampton the Exeter Squirts competing in the annual event for ten- and-under boys will be meeting Paisley in a total goal series at 12:00 noon and 6:00 p.m. on Satur- day. WE'RE BATTING 1.000 By some strange coincidence our predic- tion a few weeks ago that Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red. Wings would meet in the Stanley Cup final turned out to be correct and puts our (guessing) average at 1.000, the same as Scott Young. Now with renewed hope knowing that we can be right some of the time, and a suggestion from the editor that our first guess may have been a little lucky, we are being pushed a little farther out on a limb. After carefully checking all statistics, peering into the crystal ball, enlisting the aid of our ouija board and getting some advice from Jim Russell we have decided the Detroit Red Wings will take the silverware on April 23. Before the many Leaf fans get up in arms, this means the series will go to the seven-game limit with overtime a distinct possibility in de- ciding a winner. Seriously, this shapes up as one of the best Stanley Cup finals in many a moon and fans of both clubs will be justified in suggesting their favorites will emerge as the best Checking percentages, the Red Wings hold a orie-game edge over the Leafs on the long sea, Son of regular play, mainly on the strength of the final weekend of games. Leaf supporters have been quick to point out that their heroes came through a fairly easy series and have a few extra days of rest while the Wings were forced to go all out in eliminating the Hawks in four straight after dropping two in Chicago. While most people are in the mood for predicting outcomes of sporting events we would ask area baseball enthusiasts to come up with their lists of finishes hi the American and Na. tional Baseball' leagues for MS.
