The Wily offensive threats made against the stingy Panther defense were end sweeps by their speedy backs. Meanwhile the Panther offen- se was very potent with quarter- backs Paul Mason aed Scott Burton calling the signals. Both like to pass and their favourite receiver was end Bob Beavers. The only score came when the alert, hard charging Panther defensive wall pounced on a loose ball at the Stratford 7- yard line. Two plays later quar- terback Burton drove over from the 3-yard line. The convert attempt was wide. The senior Panthers have another chance to break into the win column when they meet high-flying Goderich this after- noon (Thursday) but the juniors don't see action again until they do battle with Listowel on Thursday, October 24. Manager Bill Murphy, right, of the Staffa Merchants receives congratulations from his Little Britain counterpart, Don Jenkins, after the Huron-Perth club won the OBA "C" championship Sunday afterrioen. Gerry Bell, centre, Hensall, was the winning pitcher in the final game. Staffa Merchants and their jubilant fans staged a Vidtory parade through Cromarty, Mit- Chell and Stella Sunday after- noon after Winning the OBA"C" championship. The Merchants, contenders for a number of years, finally reached the top by defeating Little Britain '7-6 in the fOUrth genie Of the best-of-five series in the Staffe park. The win, a last-ditch, come- from-behind effort, was achie- ved before more than 600 home town supporters. Trailing 6-5 going into the bottetn of the ninth, the Mer- chants called on their bench strength for help and the three- Man coaching staff came into the contest in pinch-hitting roles to start a triumphant rally. Manager Bill Murphy started the ninth with a walk and coach Hugh McGillivary slapped a hot shot to deep short that Doug McMillan was able to flag down and flip over to second for a forceout. Roger Pauli came in as a pinch runner and promptly stole second to put the potential tying run in scoring position. Third sacker Charlie West- man coaxed the second free ticket of the inning from young Ted Ballet on the Little Britain mound. The third member of the brain trust, Bob Sadler, drilled a low line drive back to the pitcher's box. Hallet was unable to get his glove down in time and the ball hit his foot and bounced crazily towards third allowing all base runners to reach their destina- tion safely and load the bags. Shortstop George Coveney, successful with a double earlier in the contest, stepped up in the crucial situation and was hit on the arm by the second pitch, forcing Pauli across the plate with the tying marker, The bases-loaded situation brought on conferences by both clubs. After various huddles, Hallet was removed in favor of Ron Jewel, a fast-balling right hander, winner of the first game of the series. Jewel's second pitch to La- verne "Porky" Wallace was low in the dirt and bounced away from catcher John Hallet. Before the visiting backstop could retrieve the ball Charlie Westman had scampered home During .the past few weelcs we have been keeping tabs on the number .of area baseball teams still in the running for provincial honors. We pleased to report that the one team left in the running managed ta turn the trick. .The Safta Merchants finally realized a long-time ambition by downing a strong entry from Little Britain three gamo to one to capture the 013A "O" title. A fairly veteran outfit, some of the mem , bers of the Merchants have been campaigning for about 15 years under the banner of Staffa or the Mitchell Legion in an attempt to grab a crown. Weli done, boys! INTERNATIONALE SHINE Congratulations are in order for the Cen- tralia RCAF Internationals soccer squad, winners of the Huron Football League and Zone champs in the Pearkes Trophy Armed Forces tournament, Under the capable guidance of Coach James Brown, the local RCAF footballers won the first game of the finals in Winnipeg last week and were edged in the second round in overtime after being weakened by injuries. The CE crew WW1 25 of 28 games during 'the season, losing only two, the first and last game of the campaign by identical 2-1 scores. In hanging up this enviable record, they scored 130 goals while having only 29 booted against them. Nine of the wins were by the shut- out route. PLAN OPENING BONSPIEL Plans are being formulated for another busy season at the Exeter Curling club. Lee Webber reports that the season will get under way with a three-day mixed bonspiel, November 7-9, open to all members of the local club. Webber, chairman of the bonspiel commit- tee reveals that special prizes will be awarded and asks that as many of the members as possible turn out. NEED MORE COACHES Officials of the Exeter Minor Hockey As- sociation are still on the lookout for coaches and managers for the coming season. In addition to house league play, five teams will be entered in Shamrock action if enough men are found to help in supervision. Squirts and juvenile entries will be added to pee wee, bantam and midget of a year ago. In re-hashing the just concluded World Se- ries, we would like to suggest that the occasional short series is good for any sport. It proves that the players are out to win at all times and not playing for gates. Once in a while one hears a remark that a play-off may be extended to the limit to make more money. This is certainly not true since the players receive a share of the first four games only regardless of the length of the series. In any professional sports final, the teams are usually 'evenly matched and breaks will often decide the issue. We stick to the theory that ath- letes are out giving of their best at 'all times and the 1963 World Series will be a gaod example for years to came. awczaszaztamamizMassrairazazzmarmenuisemseenwarin WINS MEDAL TOURNEY . .

Rick McCann and the speed of halfbacks Klaus Hammer and Tim 13essence in the well balan- ced Stratford Rambler back, field. However, the Panthers came to life aed showed some of their former zip when they marched from centre field early in the final quarter to count a TD and break into the scoring column. In the first quarter, after big gains through the line, mainly off-tackle runs, the visiting Ramblers chalked up their first touchdown with McCann going over. The convert was not good. Midway through the second qearter McCann scored again. This time the Stratford squad was aided by a Panther fumble. On the previous touchdown a bad pass from centre and a Stratford recovery was the helping hand. In the second half, trailing 12-0 the Panthers went to the air but had to punt on the first series. Stratford took over from centre and after a 15-yard gain by McCann and a 35-yard pas s- and-run play to Tim Bossence the ball ended up on the Panther 5-yard line. Bossence then went off-tackle and siver the goal line to make the score 18-0 for Stratford, The convert was good as Sam Fairales completed a pass in the end zone. Taking over the ball at their own 37, the Panthers were for- ced to kick and didn't regain possession until McCann and Hammer rolled up first downs. From here, with junior quarter- back Scott Burton calling the signals, the Panthers began to roll. Two plays later, after Burton was injured, Don Cann came in to throw a first down pass to John Wade. On the next series the Panthers were stop- ped short but received the needed yardage from a penalty. Early in the final quarter the Panthers controlled the ball at their opponents' 13-yard line. Craig Chapman then rolled up 10 yards and a first down. On the next play Wade lost eight yards but made up for it by dragging a Burton pass all the way to the one-yard marker. Burton promptly drove over for the only Panther score. An at- tempted pass for the convert went incomplete. The Ramblers took over at centre and with first downs and a penalty brought the pigskin down to the Panther 5-yard line. Burton, in an attempt to bring the Panthers out of their own end in the dying minutes went back into the end zone but was dropped by Rambler lineman Chris Coles. This safety touch brought the score to 21-6 in favour of Stratford. Greys capture 2-0 lead, could clinch title tonight Burglar: "What are you laughing at?"

The crafty southpaw, vieto- riou$ in a relief appearence Staffa's second win of the series, fanned nine and alSO helped opt at the plate with a single in the fourth to drive in his club's second tally. Westman had the distinction of scoring the first and last runs of the game, plating the opener in the bottom of the first after singling and riding home on a similar drive by Wallace. The new champions scored twice in the fourth and once in the fifth to take a 4-0 lead. Line Rohfritsch scored run number two, reaching first on an error and crossing the plate on Bell's hit. Bob McKellar, reaching the base paths on a fielder's choice, scored another in the fourth when Allan Clemo' s hot shot was booted by the visiting third baseman. Back-to-back doubles by George Coveney and Rohfritsch sent the fifth inning tally across. Four fielding miscues by the Staffa d ef en sive corps were mainly responsible for the re- surgence by the Little Britain crew in the next three stanzas. A single by Neil Wanamaker and a two-bagger from the bat qf Lionel Hall along with a wild Staffa peg to first gave Britain two runs in the sixth. Again in the next frame ano- ther error and Bob Mark's one base blow sent one tally over and narrowed the gap to 4-3. Hall and playing manager Don Jenkins opened the eighth by reaching first safely, again on the generosity of Merchant fielding. Consecutive doubles by Mor- ley Davidson and Mark sent three runs home and things looked bleak for the home team championship hopes. At this point, Bell buckled down and forced pitcher Hallet to pop a bunt right back to the mound and the Staffa hurler easily doubled Mark off second. The next batter also popped up to the infield to end the threat. Wallace singled to open the home eighth, stole second and advanced to third and into score on a pair of grounders to deep short. This left the score at 6-5 for the visitors and set the stage for the dramatic ninth inning finish. In bringing home a provincial title, it marked the first success for most of the players that have been campaigning together for Mitchell or Staffa clubs for quite a few years. Bob Sadler and Line Roh- fritsch were members of the 1947 Mitchell team. Fans at the final playoff game were entertained during the afternoon by the Mitchell Legion Band. lead in the third with shortstop Linda Ritchie's home run down the left field line doing all the damage, The Greys battled back with a pair of tallies in the fourth, added three more in the next Famous Bauer Skates inning, and added run number six in the eighth. Consecutive singles by Ebel and Ann Cronyn were respon- sible for the first Exeter tal- lies on the scoreboard. Dolly Mattson and Jean Tay- lor opened the fifth with one base blows, moved up "a notch on a sacrifice fly and came on to count on Gravett's second safety of the night. A ground ball from the bat of Helen Ebel that eluded the Orangeville third sacker and an infield out moved Gravett around with the third marker of the inning. Ann Jorgenson's ringingdou- ble, her second hit of the fray, sent Dorothy Wilson, who had singled, home with the final marker of the game. Ebel, in gaining credit for the win, sent nine visitingbats- men back to the bench by the strike-out route. for the whole family We specialize in Bauer Let's Trade SKATE SHARPENING OUR SPECIALTY see Wuerth's before you buy, we save you money Winter's right around the cor- ner.

The third game in the best-of- five series will be played to- night, Thursday, also in the Dufferin County town. If a fourth is necessary it will go in Hensall Saturday night. EBEL LEADS GREYS Helen Ebel starred for the locals not only on the mound as the winning pitcher but also at the plate with three singles. The home team threatened in the first frame, loading the bases with one out, but the Exeter defences tightened and one runner was retired on a force play at the plate and Ebel got the final out on a third strike. The Greys broke loose with a seven-hit attack in the fourth which produced eight big runs. Audrey Pooley collected.two singles during the big rally and other safeties were belted by Mary Grave tt, Helen Ebel, Dorothy Wilson, Ann Jorgenson and Darlene Snell. Orangeville came back with a trio of runs in the bottom of the same inning as shortstop Linda Ritchie provided most of the power with a triple, one of four hits she collected during the contest. The first four Exeter batters in the fifth reached first by way of base hits but were able to score only once. Darlene Snell's single sent Wilson home with the marker. A pair of insurance markers were registered in the ninth on a couple of errors, a hit batsman and singles by Dolly Mattson and Jean Taylor. Three potential Orangeville runs were cut off at the plate on first and third situations as the runners broke for second and home respectively. The throws to second by cat- cher Gravett were intercepted by shortstop Audrey Pooley and fired back to the plate to catch the home town girl trying to score, First sacker Dorothy Wilson was the top Exeter hitter with four singles. TEAMWORK PAYS Teamwork was the keyword when the Exeter Greys drew first blood in the WOAA Ladies s of tball finals at Hensel], Thursday night. Each member of the local club contributed at least one bingle in the 13-hit attack that pro- duced a 6-3 victory. Mary Gravett was the top hit- ter collecting three singles and reached first by way of an error in her fourth trip to the plate. Helen Ebel on the Exeter mound turned in a strong per- formance and was in trouble only once. That was in the third frame when the visitors connec- ted for four of their nine hits and scored all three runs. The Orangeville girls took the Exeter PITCHES BOTH WINS . .

Soccer c,lub divides pair Centralia Internationals con- cluded a successful soccer sea- son by splitting a pair of games in the Pearkes Trophy Armed Forces tourney in Winnipeg last week. In the opening contest the CE boys ousted a highly regarded Winnipeg RCAF team 6-1. Oley Horn was the big scoring gun with four goals, singles being added by Sven Hansen and Jerry Cummings. Mike Saintsbury guarding the twines for the local RCAF club turned in an outstanding perfor- mance to hold the high scoring westerners at bay. In Centralia's second round match, Princess Patricia Light Infantry of Victoria scored a 2-1 decision in a contest that needed an extra twenty minutes of over- time. Horn again put his team ahead in the early part of the game with a score. Injuries to several key per- sonnel weakened the Centralia squad later in the game and they lost out in the extra period of action. bowling Statistics ... does it earn its keep ?
