Make sure you register this Saturday if you haven't a lrea dy done so. Minor pucksters register seated beside him are Larry Willert and Jim Parsons. Standing are Randy Gilfillan and Perry Stover. —T-A photo 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. By JOHN MEW-, The South IIuran.

It was the second week in a row the Panthers had pulled a win out of the bag in the final secoeds and was the second week in a row they had nipped an unheated SeUad. They are now the only team 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. with the purchase of 6 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.

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. ' ... ............ .... NalliZaWiMalaaaa 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, G.
