Semi-Finals COME OUT AND CHEER THEM ON HAWKS GRAB 2-1 LEAD Page 8 Times-Advocate, April 1, 1965 FOR ALL GOOD SPORTS. By Jim Russell Wings will win in the first game of the series as they skated and checked their way to a 6-5 win, The game was close all the way with the Colts taking a 1-0 lead on Robbie Laurie's goal at 4;40 only to have the Hawks take a 3-1 lead on two goals by Craig Chapman and one by Earl Wagner before the Colts John Cooper and Bob GropP scored to tie the score at three apiece. The second frame began with the. Colts swarming all around the Exeter cage but Rick Stade came up with several key saves to keep the hosts off the score- sheet. Hawk defenseman Larry Willert took advantage of the Colts ganging attack at the 14:50 mark of the middle stanza when he picked up a loose puck at — please turn to page 9 of shots in the penalty studded contest that produced 20 minor penalties with Clinton picking up 11. Bob Livermore, Bruce Coop- er, John Cooper and Richard Harrow each scored two goals for the winners while Mike Cushman with two goals and Craig Chapman with one made up the Exeter goalgetters. Unlike the first game of the series in which they were skat- ing and firing shots from all angles at goalie Lorne Daer, the Hawks couldn't seem to do much right in the Friday game that was played before 842 fans as their passes weren't click- ing and the Colts seemed to be all over the ice. The Hawks were full value for their Wednesday night victory game of the series in Clinton's small arena, the Hawks suffered through a complete reversal of form in the second game on Fri- day when they came out on the short end of an 8-3 score in Exeter. The visitors fired three goals past Exeter netminder Tom Glavin within four minutes of the first frame and never looked back as they scored three times in the second period and added two more in the final twenty minutes for their first win of the series. The Colts held a 4-0 lead until Mike Cushman's first of two goals at the 4:40 mark cut Clinton's lead to three but goals off the sticks of John Cooper and Richard Harrow put the visitors well In the lead again. The Clinton defense was par- ticularly effective in this con- test as they repeatedly thwarted Hawks' rushes and blocked a lot Capture mixed curling cup Winners in the final draw in mixed Dick Weber's crew by a handy 10-4 Tony Page, Janet Schroeder and Ken Bray and Lois and Ken Hern. action curling count, Sunday.

It is hoped that each and every one of the boys and coaches had a wonderful season and will be back for more hockey next year. In the mite division there were five goal scorers on Sat- urday, Jim Webb, John Cooper, Steven Willert, Marty Becker and David Holtzman. The No. 1 team and No. 2 team played a tie game with one goal each. Richard McLaughlin scored for the No. 2 team and Martin Dykstra scored for the No. 1 team. Now that the National Hockey League has concluded its regular schedule and the first four teams have been decided, the Stanley Cup finals will get under way tonight with the league cham- pion Detroit Red Wings the team to beat. The red hot Wings, who finished in first place four points ahead of second place Montreal in the regular season, begin their best-of-seven semi- final series against the erstwhile Chicago Black Hawks while the fourth place Toronto Maple Leafs will face the Canadiens in the "B" series of the semi-finals. A month ago the Black Hawks looked like they would win the first league championship in their history but a knee injury to Bobby Hull, the Hawks' top goalgetter who was then leading the league in scoring, reduced the team's effec- tiveness and they slumped to finish in third place and drew the Red Wings as their first round op- ponents. The Wings who have eliminated Chicago in the last two years with weaker clubs should have little trouble in disposing of the Black Hawks in five games while the other series will undoubtedly go right down to the wire. Although the Habs held a slight edge on the aging Leafs during the regular season, any- thing can happen in a short series. And the Leafs, who are seeking their fourth straight Stan- ley Cup, are usually at their best when the money is on the line. The Canadiens have one of the fastest skating clubs in the league and will un- doubtedly try to make the Leafs play their style of hockey but Toronto's "clutch, grab and hold" style of play will wear their smaller opponents out in the long run. Thus we pick Toronto to win their prolonged series in seven games with Detroit and Toronto once again engaging in the Stanley Cup Finals. This year's cup final will be different however with the Red Wings winning the hard- ware 'that has eluded them in the last two years in six games. After their gruelling series with Montreal, Toronto's ancient veterans will not have enough left to defeat the high flying Red Wings who will rely on their speed an experi- ence for their victory. Although the Wings' rookie goalie Roger Crozier lost the Vezina Trophy on the final night of the season, he is regarded as the top netmind- er in the NHL and will be a big factor in the Detroit cause. In centre Norm Ullman the Wings have the league's leading goal scorer while their super star Gordie Howe who had a slow start this season, concluded the regular schedule with 29 goals and appears to be in. good condition for the upcoming playoffs. Howe, who is playing his 19th season in the NHL, celebrated ,his 37th birth- day on Wednesday and is still one of the most closely checked men in the league and will be one of the top scorers in the playoffs. These reasons plus the fact that the De- troit club will have the advantage of home ice where they set a league mark with 14 straight wins before their home crowd this year, should make the Motor City squad the team to watch. RUSTLINGS—With the weather we have been getting lately it is hard to believe that the baseball season is almost upon us with President Johnson officially opening the American League season April 12 when the Washington Senators and the Boston Red Sox clash. The Detroit Tigers who begin the season on the road will open at home against the Kansas City Athletics on April 21 . . . The Exeter bantams will try to get back into contention in their OMHA semi-final series with Elmira this Friday night when they meet Elmira in the second game of two game total goal series in the local arena. Elmira captured the first game 7-1. Game time is 8:30. 4 The Exeter Junior Hawks came back Tuesday after their lack-lustre effort on Friday night to defeat the Clinton Colts 6-3 and take a 2-1 lead in their best of seven OHA Junior "D" semi-final series. Unlike their first home game in which they were late getting on the ice, the locals were out on the ice early for this contest and Hawk goalie Tom Glavin was warmed up and ready to go from the opening faceoff. Fourth game of the series will be played in Clinton to- night (Thursday) with the fifth game set for Saturday night in Exeter at 8:30. The locals came out skating in Tuesday's encounter and missed several good scoring chances throughout the fast moving period before Dennis Morrissey took a short pass from Mike Cushman to beat Lorne Daer in the Clinton net to give the Hawks a 1-0 lead. The Exeter squad continued to press around the Clinton cage with Rick Boyle and Earl Wag- ner missing on hard shots that had Daer beaten but were off target and they were unable to increase their lead and Glav- in blanked the hard skating Clin- ton club. Morrissey scored his second goal of the night at 4:22 of the second frame when he took passes from Boyle and Cush- man and rifled a low shot into the righthand corner to give the locals a 2-0 lead. Clinton's Bruce Cooper not- ched his first of three goals at 6:23 of the same period when he was left uncovered in front of the Exeter cage to cut the Hawks' lead to one goal but Morrissey came back with his third goal of the game to keep the Hawks in the lead. Cooper's second goal came at the 12:38 mark of the second frame when he beat Glavin cleanly with a hard shot from just inside the blueline to again cut the Hawks'lead to one goal. The Hawks started to press Clinton in their own end at the beginning of the last period but were unable to get a good shot away until Bob Hoffman took a pass from Dennis Morrissey to score the fourth and eventual winning marker at the 8:53 mark. Bill Chipchase gave the locals a three goal lead but Hawks' defenceman Larry Will- ert received a five minute high- sticking penalty at 10:45 and the Colts began to play every man up in an attempt to tie up the game. The Exeter defense was able to hold the visitors off the scoresheet with Dennis Mor- rissey, Earl Wagner and Craig Chapman forechecking the Colts in. their own end. Rick Boyle finally broke away to score an unassisted tally at the 14:41 mark to put the game out of reach. Bruce Cooper ended the scor- ing for the night at 19:11 of the final stanza. Lanky center Mike Cushman was forced to leave the game at the end of the second period after he received a solid check from the Colts' Ross Kipfer but Cushman will be ready to play in the next game. Regular de- fenseman Bob Hoffman moved up to take Cushman's place on the forward line and scored what proved to be the winning marker. About 650 fans watched the contest. Club. A great deal of credit is due the instructor and executive of the Exeter club. One of the outstanding pro- jects that is encouraged by the recreation committee is the adult art group. Painting with oils is a stimu- lating hobby giving the partici- pant the feeling of accomplish- ment without a great outlay for equipment and supplies. The Exeter recreation com- mittee have co-operated with the local enthusiasts for a num- ber of years, supplying the place to meet and helping to arrange for competent instruc- tors. The local group of artists have completed their current season and are planning to ex- hibit their work to the public during the week of April 8 to 10. The paintings will be on display at MacMillans store, Main St., Exeter. Would the interested artists please bring their paintings in to the store Wednesday morn- ing?

Bantams in tight corner The Exeter Bantams will have their backs to the wall Friday night when they meet Elmira in the second game of their two-game total goals series. Elmira won the first game of the OMHA Bantam "B" semi- final set on home ice last Fri- day when they humbled the lo- cals by a 7-1 score. Game time this Friday night is 8:30 with the winner of this series to play the winner of the Picton-Huntsville series. Elmira started out slowly in the Friday contest and built up a 1-0 first period lead but in- creased it to 4-1 at the end of the second frame, and then rapped in three more markers in the third period to take a six-goal lead in the series. Mike Hoy scored Exeter's lone goal in the second period as the Exeter lads were over anxious around the Elmira net and were unable to put the puck in the net on several good scoring attempts. Ladies done at Centralia The Rec League playoff game between the Bank Boys and Graham & Graham ended in a 12-12 tie. The second game of this series will be played this Thursday at 8 o'clock.
