Exeter now joins the Lucan and Hensall teams on the side- lines. The locals held a 2-1 first period lead but the strong In- gersoll crew tied the game up at 3-3 in the second frame and then outscored the homesters 3-1 in the last period for the victory. The Exeter goals were spread evenly among four players with Chris Riddell and John Guen- ther scoring in the first period, Dale Parkin adding a second period tally and Larry Haugh scoring Exeter's last goal of the year in the final frame. Grimsby lead to 4-1. Wayne Brintnell scored his first goal of the tournament five minutes later but Verbeek notched Grimsby's fifth goal to give them a 5-2 win and a three goal lead in the series. The second game was played at 4 o'clock and the locals, who seemed a bit nervous in the first encounter, came on strong in the first period to score three goals to take a 3-0 lead and tie the series. Exeter goalie Doug Fairbairn blanked the Grimsby squad for the first two frames as his mates gave him lots of pro- tection but Craig Stephen in the Grimsby net also was playing a steady game after the first period and the score remained 3-0 until Verbeek's series win- ning tally with 25 seconds re- maining in regulation time. Don Thompson, Wayne Brint- nell and Peter Kleinstiver each scored a goal for the local squad in the final game. Inter-town champions ousted in playoffs After being declared winners of the inter-town bowling league, the Exeter Itchy-Six went down to defeat in the first round of the playoffs to Clinton's Cloud 9 entry. The visiting bowlers lost one of their players through a car accident Saturday, but the five remaining men still managed to whip the locals, who were also short when key players were out of town for an Easter holiday.

The Exeter Squirts, who are coached by Bill Gilfillan were ousted by Grimsby by one goal in their two game total goals series at the Brampton Novice Hockey Tournament on Saturday while Lorne Haugh's pee wee club were defeated intheir first game at the annual Goderich Young Canada Week Tourna- ment. The local pee wees bowed to the powerful Ingersoll squad for the second straight year. The Exeter Legion bantams who were ousted in their bid for the Ontario bantam "B" title by Huntsville on Tuesday night were also competing in a tour- nament at Georgetown and were doing very well until they met a tough Winona crew. The locals sidelined Hespeler and Glen- worth in two game total goals series but lost out to Winona in the third round by three goals. Although the Exeter clubs failed to win any of the post- season tourneys, all five minor teams have had fine seasons with five Sham rock League championships and two WOAA titles to their credit. The squirts and midgets won Shamrock titles but were ousted by Mitchell in WOAA competi- tion while the pee wees and bantams captured Shamrock and WOAA championships only to lose out to St. Marys and Hunts- ville respectively inOMHA play with the bantam club coached by Red Loader coming close to the all-Ontario Bantam "B" title. The Exeter Junior Hawks were ousted by Clinton in their first OHA playoff round after they had defeated Strathroy for the Shamrock League title.

The Pepsis and Odd- fellows hold down third place with one point while the Wind- mills and Beatles are point- less after the first week.

This year's Men's Bowling Banquet will be held at the Legion Hall May 19. SPRING PARADE of car values Win four tilts at Georgetown After posting convincing vic- tories over Hespeler and Glan- worth in the Georgetown Tour- nament, the bantams were oust- ed by a strong Winona club in the third round. Winona blanked the sleepy locals 3-0 in the first game of the total goals series that was played at 7:30 a.m. Monday morning and then came back in the afternoon to play the locals to a 2-2 tie and win the round 5-2. Jim Hayter and John Loader scored two second period goals for the Exeter squad in Mon- day's second game but for the most part the local club were unable to mount much of a sus- tained scoring drive against the well-balanced Winona club. The locals gained the semi- final round against Winona by registering 17-4 and 12-5 ser- ies wins over Hespeler and Glanworth. They opened up the series on Friday with a 6-1 win over Hespeler and then came back later in the same day to post an 11-3 victory to oust the Hespeler club and earn the right to advance to the next round. Coach Loader had his charges skating and passing the puck in fine fashion as they scored two goals in each period for their win in the first game and then scored five goals in the last two frames for their easy vic- tory in the second contest. Jim Hayter and Graham Hern scored two goals each to lead the team in their first win with Barry Baynham and Mike Hoy adding singles. Hera scored three goals in the second game while John Loader, and Hoy added a pair and Hayter, Bayn- ham, Ron Janke and Bill Fair- bairn notched single goals. Exeter had little trouble with the Glanworth club in either games on Saturday as they won 7-3 and 5-2. Bill Fairbairn led the club in the 7-3 victory with the hat trick while Mike Hoy added a pair of tallies and Jim Hayter and Barry Baynham got one goal apiece. Mike Hoy scored twice to lead the team in the 5-2 second game win while single goals came from Barry Baynham, Bill Fairbairn and Jim Hayter. With only one week of bowl- ing remaining before four teams are eliminated, there is a real battle shaping up among seven of the eight teams that made the Exeter men's "A" league play- offs. At present this year's regular season champion Ringers with eight points are the only team assured of a final berth while only two points separate the second and seventh place teams. The Kippen Tigers and Spares are tied for second place with five points while the Canadian Canners and Unpredictables are deadlocked in third place only one point behind. The Fairlanes and Rockets are tied for fourth with three points while Russ' Billiards who were last year's "A" league playoff champs are virtually out of the race with no points. Another close battle is shap- ing up in the "A" league con- solation round with the A&H Specials holding a one point margin over the IGA squad and the 2x4's. After the second week of playoffs, the Specials have five points and the IGA and 2x4's have four while the third place Tradesmen have three points and are still very much in the race. With only one week completed in the men's "B" league play- offs, the Larks and Milkmen are leading the way with four Fully reconditioned as only Snell Bros. can rebuild a car.

RI RO KT RB CA UN SP FA IG AH 24s TR Squirts lose in first round Despite a second game surge that saw them tie up the series, the local squirts were unable to hold the Grimsby squad off the scoresheet as Jeroen Verbeek scored with only 25 seconds re- maining in the game to give Grimsby a 6-5 win in the series although they lost the second game of the two game goals to count series by a 3-1 score. The first game of the series was played at ten o'clock in the morning and it wasn't until the 8:07 mark of the third frame that Don Thompson scored the first Exeter goal to cut the MEN'S "A" LEAGUE (B.

Along with Graham and Graham and the Bank Boys the league consisted of Crediton and the Exeter Oldtimers who were champions last year and finished on top of the league during the regular season this year. This year however, the Oldtimers were soundly beaten by the hust- ling Bankers who lost several key players through injuries and job changes in the last few weeks of the regular campaign. Bank Boy captain Peter McFalls accepted the Graham and Graham trophy in a brief cere- mony after the hard fought contest. This year's Rec League enjoyed a very successful season and it is hoped that the league will carry on next season in the same fashion. At this time we would like to commend Rec League referees Gerald McBride and Larry Willert for their fine officiating throughout the season and Arena Manager Alvin Willert, who among his many other jobs, drew up the league schedule and kept things running smoothly. HOUSTON STADIUM BEST EVER Although there has been some fine sports Stadiums constructed in the past couple of years such as New York's Shea Stadium, Washington's D C Stadium and Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium, the Houston Astradome, which has been dubbed "the eighth wonder of the world", renders all other sports fields obsolete. The structure, which cost $31 million to build, features a 710 foot glass dome which cov- ers the entire playing field and stands and a huge air conditioning system which prevents fog that results from condensation. The Astrodome, which will be the home of the Houston Astros of the National Baseball League, the Houston Oilers of the AmeriCan Football League and the University of Houston Football team also boasts one of the most elabo- rate scoreboards in sports history that was in- stalled at a cost of $2,000,000. The completely electronic scoreboard is 474' long and over four stories high. The 300- ton structure which contains 50,000 lights, re- quired over 1,200 miles of wiring and is con- trolled in the press box on a 25-foot long con- sole operated by 'a staff of six technicians and a producer. The board also contains the world's largest television screen that covers 1,800 square feet in the centre of the board which can pro- duce animated or still pictures, or written mes- sages. Whenever one of the Astros connects for a home run the scoreboard will erupt with one of the most awesome displays ever. Immediately after a hit is declared a home run, a lighted re- production of the domed stadium will appear on the left of the board. The roof of the lighted stadium will then blow off with sound effects amid flashing lights. The fireworks will also in- clude two cowboys outlined in lights firing guns with bullets ricocheting all over the scoreboard. Although the Houston fans will not wit- ness the best 'baseball with the Astros unable to make it into the first division in their short ex- istence, they will be able to watch in comfort with no worries about rain, mosquitoes or low flying birds. RUSTLINGS—The Exeter Itchy Six, who were champions during the regular season of the area Men's Intertown Bowling League, were eliminated from further competition on Saturday when they lost out to Clinton Cloud 9. The local keglers had a chance to overcome Clinton's 7-4 lead on Saturday when they won the first game of the afternoon but Clinton came on strong in the next two games to oust the league cham- pions and move into the finals against RCAF Clinton . . . Meanwhile both Exeter Ladies' teams continue to make a runaway in their Intertown playoffs. With only three weeks remaining, the two Exeter squads hold down first and second place by considerable margins over their near- est competition . . The ice machine at the local arena was turned off last weekend and if the present weather conditions continue the ice surface that was the scene of many an exciting battle will soon be gone for this year. The locals, who received the r unne r-up trophy from an .OMHA official after Tuesday's game, dropped the first game of the series in Exeter by a 5-3 score. The powerful Huntsville crew jumped on the tired locals who had been playing in a tournament at Georgetown and were playing their eighth game in seven days, for two first period goals and they were never headed as they increased their lead to 5-1 at the end of the second frame to put the game out of reach for the Exeter club. John Loader paced the Exeter scoring attack in the final game with two third period tallies while Graham Hern added a second period marker. Huntsville took a two goal lead in the round with a 5-3 win in Exeter on Thursday night. The clubs traded first period goals but the visitors came up with two second period tallies by Bob Pepplie to take a 3-1 lead as the locals seemed over anxious around the net and were unable to find the scoring range. Bill Fairbairn scored Exe- ter's second goal of the night at the 2:30 mark of the third period to cut the Huntsville lead to one but Bill White got that one back at 8:33 only to have Mike Hoy score an un- assisted tally at the ten minute mark to tighten the game up once again. With the visitors holding a 4-3 lead the Exeter team start- ed to put on the pressure but One title for area, another on brink The Clinton Junior Colts de- feated Bobcaygeon in two games last weekend to win their first provincial hockey championship in 24 years while the Seaforth Beavers who are in the midst of the Ontario Intermediate "B" finals heed only one more Vic- TR MM PI BB PP P.
