Page 6 Times-Advocate,, December 31, 1964 Hawks .011 Miring high,
grab three more wins
As the old year comes to a close one invariably yearns
to look back on past achievements as well as to look forward
in order to determine what the future holds. Many things
occur during the sporting year, some disappointing and some
quite rewarding and this area, similar to all the rest, had
its share of both.
On the minor hockey front, the local pee wee club under
the guidance of Lorne Haugh and Lyle Riddell captured a
WOAA title and also made a fine showing at the annual
Young Canada Week championship at Goderich when they
defeated Fergus, Streetsville and Elmira but then dropped
their final game to Ingersoll in a close 2-0 game to finish
second in the 4 B7 classification.
The pee wees were not the only local team to make
their presence felt as the squirts, bantams and midgets
all captured their respective WOAA titles only to bow out
in OHA, competition.
The Hensall-Zurich Combines brought the Ontario Ju-
nior '13' pennant to the area as they left the rest of their
Shamrock League opponents in the dust with their convincing
record of 26 wins, three losses and one tie. Led by the
prolific scoring line of Mike Cushman, Bruce Cooper and Bob
Livermore that scored a record 249 points on 125 goals and
124 assists, the Combines went on to score wins over
Gravenhurst and Stouffville before large home crowds to
capture the title.
In the southern regions of the area the powerful
Lucan-Ilderton Combines enjoyed another one of their
successful seasons. After capturing the Big Nine League
championship, the Combines went out into OHA play and
came close to winning the Ontario Intermediate 'B' flag
before bowing to a very experienced Picton squad.
Last but not least we must acknowledge that the Old-
Timers were last year's Rec Hockey champs. Last year
marked the beginning of the Recreation loop and it pro-
vided a lot of enjoyment for both the participants and the
onlookers.
Last year's softball scene was spiced with a bit of
controversy as the local softball diamond almost became
a potato patch. The screen behind home plate was in dire
need of repair and it was suggested that all teams using
the diamond should contribute money for repairs. Volunteer
workers supplied time and material, however, and the screen
was fixed up like new and the diamond continued to be the
setting for many an exciting contest.
Last year's WOAA champions the Exeter Greys played
a lot of fine ball during the season and provided their large
following with a great deal of excitement before they suc-
cumbed to an inspired Brucefield team.
On the whole, the minor baseball scene was not too
successful with the Exeter Bantams the only team to win
a WOAA crown. The locals were eliminated by Amherst-
burg in the first round of OBA play.
Although the local intermediate baseball entry did not
fare too well, the Staffa Merchants, last years Intermediate
'C' champs, and the Zurich Lumberkings played some fine
ball only to lose out to Campbeliville and Wilkesport re-
spectively.
Last year's Rec Softball loop operated with eight clubs
with the NCO's of Centralia edging out the Exeter Lanes
for the league championship. This grouping, which has
expanded from four to eight teams in its short life, is be-
coming quite popular for players as well as fans and should
enjoy another fine season in 1965.
to shut put the Visitors, as Cush-
man and Chapman again blinked
the light to give the locals a
4-1 bulge before the period
ended.
The Hawks then turned on
the power to score four more
times in the third period with
the visitors scoring three timee
in the wide open frame,
playing coaph Earl. Wagner
scored what proved to be the
winning goal at the 1;35 mark
of the last period on a neat
three-way passing play with
linemates Craig Chapman and
Mike Cushman,
The Hawks first production
unit of Wagner, Chapman and
Cuehman supplied most of the
scoring power in the fast, ex-
citing contest as they picked
up a total of 20 scoring points
on seven goals and 13 assists.
Both Chapman and Cushman
registered hat tricks while
Wagner notched the winning
marker and picked up five
assists. Dennis Morrissey
scored his 11th goal of the year
in the third frame to close out
the Exeter scoring.
Skip Helen Burton led her team to a close 8-7 win over a rink
skipped by Mrs. Eldrid Simmons to win the first draw honors
in the Exeter Ladies' Curling League, Wednesday. The Burton
foursome opened up a commanding lead in the first few ends and
then had to hang on as Mrs. Simmons and her crew came back
strongly in the final ends to put the affair in doubt until the final
Craig Chapman enjoyed an
ether fine evening „Monday night
in Strathroy when, he fired four
gpals to lead the Exeter Hawks
to their 12th win of the eeeeete,
The. Hawke perked up in the
second half of the game after a
slow start to lace the Strathroy
Junior Rockets 10-6,
The Rockets held a wide mar,
gin in play throughout the first
period but Tom Glavin in the
Exeter cage held them to only
one goal and kept his team
within striking distance, Strath-
roy led 1-0 at the end of the
first frame as the Hawks only
managed five shots at the Rocket
goal.
It was all Exeter from the
second period on, however, as
they scored five times in the
second session and five more
times in the last stanza to re-
cord their second win in as
many days.
The Hawks first line of Earl
Wagner, Mike Cushman and
Craig Chapman again led the
squad by accounting for eight
of the 10 Exeter goals, Chapman
ran his team leading total to
21 as he scored four goals.
Cushman, Wagner and Fred
Lamb each scored two goals
to round out the scoring.

attempted to send the game into an extra end. Members of the

PENALTIES GALORE
The Hawks brought their sea-
son record to 11 wins and one
loss by way of a thrilling 5-4
victory over the Port Huron
Beefeaters on Sunday in a chippy
game that was marred by 30
penalties. A total of 86 penalty
minutes were handed out by
referee Red Graham of Sarnia,
including three majors for
fighting, two misconducts and
one game misconduct penalty
as well as 25 minor rule in-
fractions.
The Beefeaters appeared to
be the better team in the first
period as rightwinger Ernie
Doyon scored two quick goals
at 7:30 and 8;15 after Craig
Chapman had given the Hawks
a temporary 1-0 lead with his
first of two goals at the 7:07
mark.

The Hawks seemed to shake
off their weariness In the second
frame as they rallted for four
goals and then held en as the
U.S. squad scored once in the
second and once In the third
to pull to within one gpal of the
league leading Hawks with two
minutes remaining in the game.
Rick Stade In the Hawk goal
played a stellar game particu,
larly in the third frame when he
was called upon to make several
clutch saves when the Port
Huron team tried desperately
to tie the contest.
Fighting broke out at the
17;28 mark of the last period
with Ron Broderick and Len
Spencer of the Beefeaters
squared off.
The pair were joined by Mike
Cushman and Ernie Doyon while
the rest of the players on the
ice paired also off. Cushman
and Spencer each received a
minor and a major penalty for
fighting while Broderick was
tagged with a game misconduct,
Doyon and Exeter playing coach
Earl Wagner both received mis-
conducts for arguing too vigor-
ously.
Fred Lamb and Craig Chap-
man each scored twice to lead
the Hawks in the scoring
column. Earl Wagner scored
the other Exeter tally.
GET REVENGE
The Exeter Junior Hawks
gained sweet revenge for their
first loss of the season by out-
lasting Glencoe for an 8-4 vic-
tory at the local arena Wednes-
day. The Hawks suffered their
first loss of the season in
Glencoe on Dec. 12 when they
dropped a close 4-3 decision.
A small pre-Christmas
crowd of 234 fans, the lowest
of the year, was on hand as the
Hawks broke out on top with
goals by Mike Cushman and
Craig Chapman to take a 2-1
lead as the first period ended.

peted against a rink from Wind-
sor yesterday at Sarnia in the
Ontario Schoolboy Curling play-
downs for the right to enter the
Ontario Schoolboy Champion-
ships at Oshawa Jan. 16.
The boys, who represent
South Huron District High
School, qualified for the Sarnia
trip by capturing the division
three final of the Ontario
Schoolboy curling playdowns at
Strathroy last Wednesday.
The Thompson skipped rink
climaxed the day with a 6-3
victory over a Sarnia rink after
wins over experienced rinks
from London and St. Thomas.
The lads are highly favoured
to capture the Sarnia event and
if they are able to win at Osh-
awa also they will be called
upon to represent Ontario at
the Canadian Schoolboy Briar
at Fredericton, New Brunswick
in February.

PHONE 235-2081 SCHOOL SHOWS WELL IN PLAY
Although both the junior and senior boys' SHDHS basket-
ball squads, who captured conference titles in 1963, failed
to live up to expectations, the junior girls won their Huron-
Perth conference with wins over Listowel and Goderich to
represent the school at WOSSA.
After posting five straight victories at the start of the
football season, Ron Bogart's senior boys' squad gave strong
indications of becoming conference champions only to drop
their next two starts to be eliminated.
Carolynne Simmons, of town, brightened up what was
a lack-lustre year in track and field competition by winning
her fifth straight championship at the SHDHS annual track
meet. Miss Simmons, who has also won two Huron-Perth
Conference titles, established new records in the 220-yard
dash and the standing broad jump at the conference track
meet in St. Marys last year.
Drag Racing made its appearance in the area with the
Grand Bend Dragway being opened at the old Grand Bend
Airport. Nearly 5,000 drag racing fans were on hand when
Highways Minister Charles S. MacNaughton headed the
opening ceremonies. Top racing experts from bath the United
States and. Canada competed at the track during the DragwaYs
first year of existence and the stands were usually filled to
capacity, rain or shine, throughout the season.
Both the Eireter Curling Rink and the Exeter Lanes ex-
perienced fine seasons with all leagtiet operating success-
fully and competition close.
The Exeter Ladles' and Men's Golf Clubs enjoyed another
tette -Sena season with quite, a few hew members swelling
their ranks. Golfing highlights during the year included
victories in Men's match play competition by Ross Burns
and Gary Cooper as well as GortiStrang'S hole in one on the
18th hole at Oakwood.
Looking ahead, the future looks bright as the Exeter
Junior Hawks are presehtly leading the league and seem to
be improving each time out.
The hide Bacitnititen Club as well as the Rea 'Hockey
loop and bowling and curling leagues are all going strong.
Best wishes to everyone for a Very happy and prosperous

Leamington came out strong
in the overtime, and with Exe-
ter's Bill Fairbairn sitting out
a penalty, they scored at the
1:29 mark to win the sudden
death overtime fixture.
The Exeter lads returned
home after the game.
DEFEAT WATFORD
The boys experienced little
trouble in the quarterfinals as
they registered a 6-0 shutout
over Watford Tuesday after-
noon.
Glen Stires played a stellar
game in the Exeter net to re-
cord the whitewashing.
The locals started out
strongly with Randy Weber,
Barry Baynham, Bill Fairbairn,
Graham Hern and John Loader
scoring single goals as they
took a 5-0 first period lead.
After their first period spurt
and John Loader's second
period tally the boys settled
down to some fine defensive
hockey in order to preserve
Stire's shutout.
The Legion sponsored Ban-
tams gained their quarterfinal
birth by taking a two-game
goals to count series from a
stubborn Blenheim crew by a
9-5 count.
Exeter's Legion bantams
bowed out of the Riverside tour-
nament Wednesday m or ning
when they suffered a disheart-
ening 6-5 overtime loss in the
semi-finals against the "B"
group favorites from Leaming-
ton.
Leamington, which draws
players from their 10,000popu-
lation, had been favored to post
a more decisive win over the
local lads, but things were dif-
ferent when the teams took to
the ice at 8:00 a.m.
Exeter spotted the winners
a pair of first period tallies
and appeared to be out of the
contest in the second as well,
despite the fact they managed
a pair of goals off the stick of
Mike Hoy.
But while Hoy was scoring
his pair, Leamington also added
a pair to maintain their lead
for the final stanza,
John Loader got one of those
back in the early minutes and
then Mike Hoy tied the game
with his third tally of the game.
However, Leamington scored
again to take a 5-4 lead and with
time running out appeared to
have the game in the bag.
