Regardless of the fine weather, area youngsters are eagerly
looking forward to the start of the hockey season and 80 boys
signed up Saturday. The rest are asked to do so this Saturday.
All the smiles displayed above weren't in anticipation of the
puck season though. When Ricky Stagg (wearing hat) showed
up, his buddies and minor officials learned it was indeed a
special day for him—he was marking his eighth birthday—and
he almost had to grab his hockey stick to fight off those who
threatened to turn him over their knees. Behind him are arena
manager Alvin Willert, Bob Rowe, Brian Taylor and Doug
Fairbairn. That's Bill Gilfillan handing Ricky his form and
INTRODUCTORY OFFER
Puck teams ready
--and ice should be
At the outset of this year's high school
football campaign, coach Ron Bogart intimated
that this could be the year that his squad, the
South Huron Sr. Panthers, could take the hon-
ors in the Huron-Perth conference.
He also added that, because of poor past
performances, the boys needed confidence in
themselves to develop a winning formula.
Now the problem may well be to keep
the team from becoming over confident.
The Panthers are currently riding the
crest of a four-game winning streak which could
lead to their first undefeated season in a good
many years. Featuring last minute flourishes, the
Panthers racked up close wins over Goderich and
St, Marys as well as victories over Wingham and
Mitchell.
They defeated Goderich 15-12 with a
touchdown with only three seconds remaining
and edged St. Marys 14-13 with only 12 seconds
left to play.
Over confidence could set in due to the
fact that their next two opponents, Seaforth and
Stratford Central, seem to be two of the weaker
clubs in the conference. The Panthers will meet
Seaforth on the local gridiron this Thursday aft-
ernoon and will travel to Stratford. to complete
their regular schedule next Thursday.
In the event that South Huron finishes on
tap they will receive a bye into the Huron-Perth
final while the second and third place clubs will
play a sudden-death tilt for the right to play
South Huron in the final.
Coach Bogart attributes much of this
year's success to the over-all balance of his team.
While no one member of the squad stands out
they all contribute to produce a steady brand of
football. In the offensive department the quarter-
backing duties are shared by Paul Mason and
Dale McAllister while Bud Desjardine, who is
playing his first year of senior ball, supplies
most of the running game with Neil McAllister
and John Nagel. Dick Coulter, who specializes in
long field goals, looks after most of the kicking
duties and has scored many of the points gar-
nered by the locals.

It was the second week in a

with no losses.
Remaining games see them
go against Seaforth and Strat-
ford Central and a pair of wins
will give them first place.
The Panthers got off to a
very shaky start in their game
in Goderieh after they had kick-
ed off.
Starting on their own 25-yard
line, the speedy defending
champs began an 85-yard march
in only eight plays which led
them to pay dirt.
Bill Wilkinson, described last
year as the league's best back-
fielder, opened this series with
a brilliant 39-yard run on a
quick opener. Well executed
plays by little George Gould,
John McLean and Wilkinson
brought the ball into the South
Huron 25.
From here, Steve Snell, the
biggest man in the backfield,
bootlegged the ball and wasn't
stopped until he hit the one-
yard line.
A one-yard plunge by McLean
made it 6-0 and stayed there
as Wilkinson's convert was dis-
allowed because the homesters
had too many men on the field.

Exeter's junior hockey club
will hold its initial workout
at the local arena this Friday
night from 8:00 to 10:00 pm.
Due to the recent spell of
mild weather the ice making
process has been slowed down
considerably, but arena man-
ager Alvin Willert is confident
ice will be ready for hockey
practices with public skating
set for Saturday and Sunday
from 2:00 to 4:00 pm.
All positions on the junior
squad, which will compete in
the Shamrock League, are wide
open and club officials are in-
Three squads
ready for action
viting all junior aged players
in the Exeter area as well as
players from Zurich and Hen-
sall to attend the workouts.
All players are asked to sup-
ply their own equipment until
such time as the organization
can see its way clear to pur-
chase hockey sticks and other
needs.
The arena manager also an-
nounced that the various minor
all-star squads will begin prac-
tices this week. The all-star
squirts are scheduled to work-
out on both Thursday and Fri-
day nights from 6:00 to 7:00
while the pee wees will take
the ice front 7:00 to 8:00 on
Thursday and the bantams from
7:00 to 8:00 Friday evening.
All area players have been
invited to workout for berths
on the teams that correspond
to their ages.
Season tickets for skating
after school will be on sale
at the arena. Persons who pur-
chase these tickets for the price
of $2.00 are guaranteed at least
40 hours of skating time this
season.
The junior league is now set
with entries from Delhi, Pe-
trolia, Belmon t, Strathroy,
Glencoe, Point Edward, Port
Huron and Exeter.
The schedule starts on Mon-
day and the Exeter squad opens
on November 9 in Petrolia. The
first home game is scheduled
for Friday, November 13.
PANTHERS THREATEN
South Huron threatened soon
after when a high snap from
centre gave them possession on
the Goderich 25-yard line on an
attempted third down kick.
John Nagel ground out a first
down with an 11-yarder, but
Neil McAllister and Dick Coult-
er were thwarted on their at-
tempts.
Mason elected to pass from
his own 10 on the third down,
but Bud Desjardine dropped the
pass in the end zone.
Taking over at their own 10,
Goderich managed to get out to
their 40, but the Panther de-
fensive unit put a good rush on
Snell and he was dropped for
consecutive losses of 10 and
20 yards and the Panthers took
over at mid-field.
South Huron couldn't capital-
ize, however, and they lost the
ball on downs at the home team's
30.
But they soon regained pos-
session, as the charging South
Huron line forced Snell to throw
quickly and Ron Crown was on
the spot for his third inter-
ception of the season and he
raced all the way back to the
Goderich 35.
Coulter took a Mason pass
for 10 yards and Nagel made
another four rushing, before
Mason hit Desjardine in the
end zone for a 24-yard major,
bringing the scram to 6-6 at the
end of the first half. All Lawn

The area Intermediate "B"
grouping which was known as
the "Big Nine" last year could
be known as the "Big Four"
or "Big Five" this year judging
from the results of a meeting
held at Clinton RCAF Sunday
afternoon.
Three clubs were represent-
ed at the meeting while at least
two other possible entries had
previously expressed their in-
terest.
Both Elmira and St. Clements
are interested in playing in the
league but were not represented
at the meeting. Representatives
from Forest, Seaforth and
Lucan-Ilderton were present.
Both Centralia and Clinton
RCAF have indicated that they
will not enter a team while
Goderich and Exeter seem to
be doubtful starters.
League President, F/O Dick
Allen of RCAF Clinton intimated
that a few interlocking games
could be arranged with a couple
of northern clubs and he also
called another 'organizational
meeting for last night(Wednes-
day) to see if additional mem-
bers would turn up.
Harvey Langford and Mervyn
Hord represented Lucan-Ilder-
ton at Sunday's meeting, while
Jack McIlwain and Bob Beuten-
miller represented S eaforth.
Stan Ulrich of Forest was also
present at the meeting.
KIDS STILL NEED COACHES
About 80 youngsters, between the ages of
nine and 14 registered at the arena last Satur-
day to play in the minor hockey setup in town
this year. While the turnout was fairly good,
minor hockey officials feel that there are still
quite a number of squirt, pee wee and bantam
aged players who are putting off registering un-
til actual play begins on November 7.
These players are urged to register as
soon as possible so that their respective teams
and schedules can be set up.
This Saturday, all midget and juvenile
aged players from Exeter and the surrounding
district are asked to register at the local arena
and it is hoped that any younger player who
failed to sign up last week will do so this Satur-
day.
Last year there were four pee wee teams
playing on Saturday morning with the younger
squirts taking the ice at 11 o'clock to complete
the morning program. There were also two ban-
tam clubs along with `four midget-juvenile squads
that competed through the week.
This made a total of ten teams that played
in last year's ,houseleague. The sable number of
teams is expected this year and while most of
the Saturday morning clubs have secured a coach,
the bantam as well as the midget-juvenile clubs,
who will probably be playing early Tuesday and
Thursday evenings, are still on the lookout for
a coach.
Referees are also needed to make the set-
up a success, so anyone interested in coaching or
refereeing is asked to contact arena manager
Alvin Willert.
Figure Skating enthusiasts in the area are
reminded that they are to register November 2
at the Exeter arena between 4:00 and 5:30 p.m.
This popular sport which develops grace and con-
fidence will be held Monday evenings under the
instruction of Miss Faye Love of Walton.
This organization, which usually concludes
its winter program with a colorful carnival, has
been in operation for several seasons and has al-
ways enjoyed a good membership.

FOR ALL BIRDIE BATTERS
An attempt is being made to form a bad-
minton club in Exeter to supply another source
of recreation this winter. Quite a number of cou-
ples and individuals have expressed interest in
the sport which will be held in the high school
auditoriums every Tuesday evening.
Badminton, while not a contact sport, is
an excellent way of relieving one of excess
poundage while providing good exercise and a
lot of good, wholesome fun. Both gyms at the
school will be available and the only require,
ments will be a badminton racquet and a pair of
running shoes,
The club has the approval of RAP and
anyone wishing to join the club is asked to get
in touch with Charles Barrett, the local man-
ager of The British Mortgage & Trust,
