After dropping the first two games in Huntsville Friday and Saturday--the Opener 6-4 in overtime and the second by a 64 decision--the localsrallied strongly on home ice Monday to take the third game 5-3 and force Tuesday's contest. Although the locals spotted Huntsville three goals in each of the first and third periods in the final game, they fought back gamely to stay in conten- tion right up to the lastwhistie. Their bid to tie the game in the final minutes kept the fans on their feet cheering wildly, Huntsville captain, Art Goul- die, accepted the provinci el midget us,' championship trophy from Stan Stokes, Lon- don, an OMHA vice-president, in a postegame ceremony. The finalist trophy was pre- sented to Exeter team captain Gary Parsons by Shamrock Minor boss, Don Buddo, of 11- derton. especially from an Exeter standpoint. The effects of the long trip Friday seemed to catch up to the locals who ap- peared to run out of steam. Henry Gray, One of the smal- lest competitors on the northern club, upped the score to 3.1 early in the second when he found the range on a sharp angle from the side. Past thp halfway mark the clubs traded scores, Ray Grum- Met tallying for Huntsville and Bob Burns replying for the visitors. Burns beat Stinson with a low hard drive from directly in front. Jim Higgs, with a pair of fast goals, completed the second stanza scoring as time was run- ning out. His first came when a team-mate's pass from behind the net, hit his skate and boun- ced in. The second came after he stole the puck from an Exeter defender and skated in alone to beat Glavin. -please turn to page '7 Saturday night the clubs con- tinued the same fast brand of hockey in the first period with the hometowners holding a 2-1 edge when the boys headed for the first rest. In contrast to the previous evening, penalties did not affect the scoring. Eight were handed out to Exeter and only three to the home club. Larry Haight opened the sco- ring by banging in a LarryStahls pass from behind the net near the seven-minute mark of the opener. A neat three-way passing combination knotted the count four minutes later when Gary Parsons fired a low wrist shot past Stinson with help from Mike Cushman and Jack Glover. Art Gouldie put his team out in front to stay culminating a three-way effort with Dwight Davies and Stahls with the sec- ond hand on the clock making its last circle of the period.

Minor .nockey tournaments !aro holding the spotlight this week at the ice surfaces in Gode- rich, Brampton.. And Georgetown. • Having visited all centres over the •weelc- end we compared different methods used in stag• leg the various- events.. - The bantams at Georgetown and squirts at Brampton use a two-game total-goal series Assur- ing each club of playing at least twice. In the Young Canada pee wee tourney at Goderich the single game elimination system is used. While not .attempting -to suggest which is the best method, we are -sure Derry Boyle All his Exeter bantams would favor a sudden-death game to the two-game set. The locals took their first game Saturday morning in Georgetown downing Levack 4-2 only to have the northern. club cane back to score a 5-0 triumph in the afternoon to advance to the second round. Approximately 20 supporters of the Levack team made the close to 400-mile journey to cheer their favorites and were well equipped for noise- making with horns and cow bells. One possible advantage to the Goderich set-up is that more teams can be accommodated. This year 87 will be participating. In the Peel county towns referees are used from their home-town associations with about 25 handling assignments at each centre. With Stan Stokes of London acting as ref- eree-in-chief 65 referees from as far away as Kitchener, Toronto, St, Catharines and Sarnia will see action during a busy week at Goderich. The busiest people at any of these tourna- ments are the ladies in charge of filling appetites of the active youngsters. At Goderich, with ap- proximately 1,800 boys under the age of 12 be- ing fed each year, it is estimated almost three tons of ice cream has been consumed in the 14 years of the tourney. Each year an international flavor is added to the minor tournaments with entries from the Michigan side of the border. This year in Georgetown a different part of the States is being heard from with an entry from Wellesley in Massachusetts, For the first time the east coast of Canada will be represented With youngsters from Dartmouth in Nova Scotia. The two Atlantic Coast teams are developments of the Silver Stick minor set-up that was origi- nated in Ottawa several years ago and has spread to a large portion of Canada and the United States, and also to Austria and Switzerland, The honor of coming the greatest number of miles to the Huron County Town event will be grabbed by the Pee Wees from Lynn Lake, a small community in Manitoba, approximately 500 miles north of Winnipeg, PEE WEES, SQUIRTS ADVANCE The Exeter Pee Wees and Squirts have ad- vanced in their respective events after opening day wins. In Goderich the pee wees eliminated Wood- bridge and Elora by scores of 1-0 and 13-0 and met Winona in the third round Wednesday. Likewise, the squirts met a team from the same Niagara district town in Brampton also on Wednesday after downing Paisley by identical 8-1 scores on Saturday. ailinita changes were able to put up a strong performance. Jim Higgs tied the game mo- mentarily near the four minute mark after he kept banging away to knock the puck into the twine. Tom Glavin blocked three or four close-in drives. Loch's second of the game proved to be the winner. He batted the puck home after Bob Burns and Allan Thompson had moved play into the Huntsville end. An insurance marker from the stick of Jack Glover, also his second with less than seven minutes to go, wrapped things up and forced a fourth contest, Tuesday. With the northern boys apply- ing pressure in an attempt to get back in the running, the locals were a busy crew holding the fort in the dying minutes. Tom Glavin again came up with stop after stop, especially on close in scrambles to be a big factor in the victory. Jack Glover and Mike Cushman were stand-outs on the frontline with Ron Broderick deserving hon- orable mention for his play at the blue-line, The fans showed their appre- ciation of the fine play with a standing ovation at the finish.

Returning to home ice andthe support of a crowd in excess of 600 Monday night, Kinsmen Midgets displayed the form that gave them a berth in an Ontario final. Showing good bursts of speed and better positional hockey than they dished out in Hunts- ville, the locals took an early lead and although the score was tied at one point, never fell behind in hanging up a 5-3 decision. A pair of hard working, al- ways on-the-move performers, Jack Glover and John Loch, shared the scoring spotlight with a pair apiece. The time team started right out as if they meant business and came within a fraction of scoring early when Mike Cush- man was robbed twice on close in drives on his line's first turn on the ice. With a switch of lines the pressure was continued and Bob Burns was rewarded when he slammed in John Loch's pass- out from the corner on a low twenty footer. Huntsville's steady defence- man, Art Gouldie was quick to tie things up only a minutelater on a hard shot that Tommy Glavin got a piece of but couldn't hold. Glavin came up with great stops on successive shots from the stick of Ray Grummet near the 12- m i nu te mark after Grummet broke in the clear. A beautiful goal put the home boys out in front near the end of the first. John Loch was Johnny-on-the-spot in front of the net to direct a long point drive from Craig Davidson into the top left corner before Stin- son could make a move. PENALTIES CONTRIBUTE. Penalties played a part of the second session scoring as the teams split a pair of mar- kers. Jack Glover scored his first of the night when his long drive from near the blue-line whistled past Stinson at the half-way mark. Glover was setlooseona long clearing pass from Mike Cushman with a team-mate res- ting on an interference infrac- tion. Gouldie, always a danger on the attack, roared back seconds later to put his club back in contention with a hard, high shot as two Exeter youngsters were cooped up on the east side of the rink. Glavin again came up with key saves late in the second on Gouldie and Grummet When his team-mates seemed to be tir- ing.

VifirMeAWIZA THE LONGEST HOCKEY GAME Although this isn't listed in any hockey record book, probably 'the most stops by a goal- tender in any NHL game were pulled off 27 years ago. Norrnie Smith then playing for the Detroit Red Wings blocked 92 shots as the Wings edged the old Montreal Maroons 1-0 in a sixth overtime period in a game that was started on March 24, 1936. Mud Bruneteau fired the only goal of the game that -wasn't concluded until 2:25 the next morning and was only three minutes short of go- ing nine periods or three full games. Speaking of the Maroons, one of their stars of the 1930's, Jimmy Ward, has a son break- ing into the big leagues, not hockey but baseball, with the Chicago White Sox. Ward's son Pete after a good showing in spring training has started out as the Sox third baseman and made an auspicious debut clouting a homer in the loop opener in Detroit. Young Ward although born in Montreal learned most of his baseball in Portland, Oregon. Hockey of the Western League variety is proving very popular in California which may pave the way for NHL expansion to several south- ern American cities. A crowd of 12,290 recently jammed San Francisco's Cow Palace to watch their favorite Seals do battle with the Los Angeles Blades. One of the stars of the Blades is ex-Boston truin Leo Labine while Jack liviceartan former U.S. Olympic goalie is between the pipes for the Seals. Sportswriters covering hockey in California are fairly new at the game and have come up with some new expressions. One wrOte recently that 'Phil Maloney of Vancouver scored two goals oti his jam-shot spetialty." Any guesses as to what a jam-shot is? THEY'RE STILL AT IT A team that has received little publicity this season is proving that hockey life can begin at 40. They are a bunch of former National Hockey league stars, mostly residents Of the TO- mato -area Who See exhibition aetion at least once a week during the winter. The club is officially known es the NHL Old.Stars with several members well up in their forties, 1-lerbie Cain, former big gun for the tos- ton Bruins and the loop storing champ with 82 points in a 48-gatee schedule in 1043-44, is the oldest at 49. Next in line in the age department are a couple of ex-Maple Leafs in Hank Goldup and "Wally Stanowski at 44 and 42 respectively. 411a4as hitt to page MIDGETS PRESS AROUND HUNTSVILLE GOAL FOR EQUALIZER TUESDAY NIGHT I. ivfitidt RtisAitt t'Itilt MONDAY'S GAME WHICH EetE
