Farrow indicated it was deed ,p9s01:11.e, and said they could _receive a grant of (me, third, less 10%, 04 all monies Paid for instruction, Hicks noted they spent about. $850 last year, and anticipated more this year as they were starting a beginner's class for adult dancers. It was agreed that the square dance club would come under RAP. Hicks also questioned RAP on whether they could use the arena gymnasium for their be- ginner's class ' which had pre- viously met in the library base- ment. This room is not available any more as the children's sec- tion will be moved into the basement by the Library board. A fee of $5 per night was set for the arena and Hicks said they would inform arena man- ager Alvin Willert as to the night chosen. Their organizational ses- sion—to which all interested are invited—will be held this Saturday night, Harness also asked RAP to request permission from the public school board for use of their gymnasium for the junior square dancers. The secretary was authorized to interview the board in this regard. Exeter's RAP committee gave two rather ebscure siigm gestions Monday night that they have not decided ent ir e IY against hiring a recreationdir ector to replace Don Gravett, Nov/ever, there was actually no discussipn on the subject. The first hint came when they received a letter from F. L. Stanbridge, head of the Lake Huron Zone pf the Community Services Branch. He noted that having lost their director, he “hopecl" they were making plans to hire anew one. His letter went on to explain he would be happy to attend the next RAP meeting to help them with "suggestions" for hiringa new director, No discussion was held on the matter, but secretary Claude Farrow was instructed to inform Stanbridge of the date of the October meeting so he could attend. Another hint cropped up later in the meeting when Farrow entered into a discussion with executive members of the Exe- ter Figure Sicating Club. After they had told him that Gravett had always sold the advertisements for their pro- gram in conjunction with their annual carnival, Farrow told them not to cross bridges until they came to them. He said that if he had the Support of the rest of RAP, it was possible that by carnival time there may be a new rec director. This comment too failed to bring forth any further dis- cussion and was the last time any mention was made of a recreation director. Area puck enthusiasts watch NHL squad Several from this area have made the trip to London in the past week or so to watch the NHL Boston Bruins prepare for the coming season with workouts and exhibition games with other NHL clubs. T-A sports columnist, Ross Haugh, made the jaunt last weekend with Gil Burrows, left, area public school inspector and snapped a photo as the local sportsman enjoyed listening to the conversation of these three rough and tumble Beantowners. From the left are: Ted Green, Leo Boivin and Reg Fleming, none of whom have ever been known to back away from any of the rough stuff in the progame. In fact, they've been known to start some of it. Bantams drubbed Defending champs lose pair Umpire Ross Haugh and Campbellville's catcher have a close look as Staffa's Porky Wallace pounds out a hit in Saturday afternoon's first game of the OBA "C" finals, Unfortunately, few of the Staffa batters duplicated the feat of Wallace and they lost the game by a 6-2 margin. They were whipped by the tune of 15-6 in Campbellville Sunday and will have to win this Sunday's game in Campbellville or watch their OBA championship being taken away from them. --T-A photo )11111111111111111.11111111, WANT TO JOIN Three young ladies from the Exeter Teen Town met with RAP and questioned them on what night and where they could meet, and also if it was possible for them to come under the jurisdiction of RAP. In past years, the teens have been organized by the rec dir- ectors, but have handled all their own affairs. Representing the group were Laura Jean MacMillan, Kathy Smith and Jane Dettmer. The three were told they could have the use of the gym- nasium at the arena for the usual charge of $5 and could hold dances on any Friday night for which it was not booked. Chairman MacMillan ques- tioned his daughter and her two fellow executive members as to what chaperones they would be having, and learned they planned to have parents of members do these chores. However, he was told they would appreciate RAP giving them a list of persons who may also be interested. "That would be easier than getting score keepers for the bowling," MacMillan replied. The three girls left and said they would let them know the groups' decision on whether they wanted to work through RAP. Next group to be heard from were Mrs. Harold Holtzman, Mrs. Murray Brintnell and Mrs. Jack Fuller, executive mem- bers of the Figure Skating Club. Mrs. Holtzman said they were wondering about finances, not- ing they were in the red on last year's operation. They were assured by Farrow that they should proceed with plans for the coming season and that RAP would look after any deficit they may accrue. FOUR GROUPS The Figure Skating executive was one of four recreation groups present at the meeting, as each brought forth questions as to its coming programs. Mr. and Mrs. Pete Durand and Mrs. Gerald Campbell rep- resented the Minor Bowling League and requested a grant of $50—money they thought had been approved for them last year. Several members thought the grant had been approved but the three explained they had never received it. Farrow promised them a cheque the next day. Chairman Tom MacMillan questioned if there was any other assistance the bowlers needed from RAP. Mrs. Durand explained they ran it on their own with volun- teer help, but did say they could use score keepers for the pop- ular league. "I'm not sure anyone here can count that high," MacMillan jokingly replied, and added the committee were pleased and appreciative of the job that was being done for the minor bowl- ers. Max Harness and Frank Hicks then took the floor on behalf of the square dancers in town, and questioned RAP if they could become affiliated in order to receive grants on the money they paid out for dance callers Despite a 19-2 loss to Am- herstburg on Saturday, Exeter Bantam coach Gord Baynham maintains that his charges can take the powerful southern crew in the best-of-three OBA semi- final set. In Saturday's game, the score at the end of six innings was 5-2 for Amherstburg but from the bottom of the seventh on, Jim Creech, who was on the mound for the locals, weakened and was tagged for a few hits while his mates committed some costly errors. Creech fanned 10 batters, but gave up 15 hits. Exeter collected eight safeties. Shub and Bob McCurdy, two negro lads, paced the Amherst- burg attack with three hits apiece including a home-run each while Jim Creech and Glen Stires each had two safeties for Exeter. The second game of the series will be played in Exeter on Saturday starting at 1:00 p.m. and if a third game is necessary it will be played immediately after the first in the form of a double-header. St. Clements oust local softball entry St. Clements ousted Exeter from the WOAA "A" softball playoffs, Tuesday, when they drubbed the locals 9-1 in Hen- salt to win the series in three straight games. Karges went all the way on the hill for the winners and allowed Exeter only six hits, while his mates pounded out 12 off the slants of Gord Slaght. St. Clements scored twice in Record victories in Liniment loop The Centralia NCOs and Exe- ter Lanes jumped into a one- game lead in their best-of-three playoff series in the Liniment League semi-finals, Wednes- day. The Centralia crew had everything their own way as they bombarded Dashwood by a score of 20-2 in the first of two games played at the RCAF sta- tion. Joe Green took the shelling for Dashwood, but his mates didn't help with their array of errors in the field. In the second game, the Lanes broke loose for six runs in the third frame, but they still had to plate two crucial tallies in the last inning to record a 9-8 win over the Centralia Airmen. Things were tied at 7-7 going into the seventh frame, but singles by Jim Russell, Tom Burke and Simon Nagel account- ed for the two tallies that pro- vided the win. The Airmen threatened in their half with three singles as well, but the bowlers man- aged to hold the tying run at third and the potential winner at second as Russ Powell got Hache to ground back to the mound for the final out of the contest. The Airmen started off in grand style with four runs in the first inning, as the first four men toured the sacks on three singles, a walk and an error. The Exeter crew managed to get one in the second, and then they exploded for six in — Please turn to page 9 the first inning and never look- ed back as they added four big ones in the fourth and one and two in the seventh and eighth respectively. Exeter's lone tally came in the bottom of the seventh inning when big Jim Russell stepped into a pitch and circled the sacks before the ball could even be retrieved. Jim Pinder picked up two of the Exeter hits, while others came off the bats of Monty Mo- - Please turn to page 7 Clinton pair head jitney The first man to sell on the value of your goods is yourself. Visitors again walked off with all the honors when they travel- led to Exeter to compete in a successful men's doubles jitney at the local bowling greens, Wednesday. Bert Gray, principal of Clin- ton public school, teamed up with Harold Vodden of the same town to capture first place. Although they duplicated the three wins, the plus of H. Scrimegeour and S. Robinson of Goderich was 10 less and left them in second place. The members of the local club have also been enjoying their regular jitneys held every Tuesday and Saturday evening, On Tuesday, Howard Truem- ner and Bill Etherington teamed up to cop top place with two wins and a plus of 20. The com- bination of Ray Smith, Girlie Ince and Len McKnight placed second, Fred Tilley and Lila Smith were the best in the Saturday event with two wins and a plus of 13. weekend, the local youngsters will be displaying their talents on the home ball field Saturday aft- ernoon. Anyone with a few hours to spare come Saturday p.m. will Undoubtedly see a good brand of ball dished up by the fifteen-year-olds, Aub Farquhar's Bowling Lanes softball club are battling St, Clements, last year's champs in WOAA men's softball play. The only other minor ball club still in the running is the Hen- sail bantam team. They will be at home this Sat- urday to the Oshweken Indians, Staffa Merchants at the moment are en- gaged in two .play-offs sets. Last OBA "C" titleholders, the Merchants are again in uet of provincial laurels, this time locng 'horns s with Campbellville, The members of this latter team will be well remembered by the Exeter Mohawks of 1961. Staffa are also meeting Walkerton for the Huron-Perth title. The only game to date in this set ended in a 1.1 deadlock, This week for the first time in its history,. the City of London will see NHL hockey played within its boundaries. The Boston Bruins, who are holding their training workouts at Treasure Island Gardens in the southern outskirts of the city, will be host, ing three fellow NI-IL. clubs in exhibition action, Pre-season or .extra-curricular tilts have been, played before involving one NHL team but this is the first occasion that two big league clubs have met on London ice. While this area is basically pro - Toronto Maple Leafs as far as hockey support is concern- ed, the Bruins will pick up quite a few followers through their training in London, Certainly one of the youngest clubs in the loop, the Bruins are showing plenty of hustle and also gaining popularity by their friendliness to the public at workouts. Any fans able to get to the arena are welcome to sit in on any of the twice-daily sessions free of any admission charge. We caught the Beantowners in a weekend training period and will pass along a few of our impressions. Ed Johnston performing for the Whites in a 45-minute or so scrimmage will undoubtedly be the regular netminder for Milt Schmidt. John- ston kept his cage clean while rookie Jack Norris at the other end of the ice surface allowed four or five scores. Defensively the Bruins should stack up as a rough and tough blue-line aggregation led by a couple of tough customers in Leo Boivin and Teddy Green. These two have tangled several times in practice and the day we were looking on they exchanged words on two occasions, espe- cially when Boivin and his partner caught Green with crunching checks. SOLID BLUE -LINE BRIGADE Thee biggest Boston defenceman is Bob McCord and he looked impressive along with vet- eran Tom Johnson. The latter, while not display- ing the hard rock tendencies of Boivin and Green, will certainly bolster the rearguard formation with his heads-up solid positional play along with another experienced pro, Ed Westf all. Other de- fencemen on the club at the present are Don Awrey, Bob Woytowich and Joe Watson. A couple of blonde youngsters mingling with a veteran looked like the best offensive unit that the Bruins iced. Orland Kurtenbach and Tommy Williams, an American ice product, team- ed with ex-Hawk Ab MacDonald in pacing the White attack. Another refugee from the Chicago Black Hawks, Reggie Fleming showed lots of hustle from his right wing post on a line with veterans Johnny Bucyk and Murray Oliver. The top junior star at Niagara Falls a year ago, Ron Shock has a good shot at a regular cen- tre post and has been working out with another youngster, Gary Dornhoffer from Kitchener, and smooth skating Dean Prentice, formerly with the Rangers. Almost a sure thing to be a regular will be Murray Balfour, another transfer from the Windy City who is only reporting for action this week due to injuries. Other forwards in camp, are Forbes Ken- nedy, Mike Draper, Bill Knibbs, Wayne Maxner, John Parise, Bob Leiter and Wayne Rivers. NO PLACE FOR SOFTIES GM Lynn Patrick, Coach Milt Schmidt and farm coach Harry Sinden have been putting their charges through gruelling workouts in prepara- tion for the 70-game schedule that lies ahead. The roughest exercise of all is the stop and start skating at the conclusion of every prac- tice session. In order that the coach can see who is giving their best, the players start one at a time in one corner of the rink and head at full speed diagonally to their own blue-line, put on the brakes, head for the oppo- site boards at cen- tre ice, stop again, angling to the other blue line, another stop and the last leg of the journey into the far corner at the end of the arena. Two or three cycles of the ice in this manner and most of the boys were ready for the showers. The picture ap- pearing in this. col- umn is of Bruin goalie Ed Johnston, caught. during a skating session, Johnston hung up six shutouts during Last season, only two less than Glenn Hall of the Hawks, who was tops in the blanking de, partment.. The net custodians. are the . busiest men on the ice in these pee-season conditioning periods. After preliminary skating exercises, about 15 players were at each end of the. rink keeping. two pucks in continuous action and keeping the goalies on their toes for some 25 minutes. AREA TEAMS IN RUNNING With the hockey season rapidly approach- ing,. the softball and baseball teams in the area are disappearing from the WOAA and OBA trails at the same; 1'80 .of speed.
