Bowling and the curling and badminton clubs have already started regular competition and now the ice has been in- stalled in the Exeter Arena to provide additional recreation to local sports enthusiasts, The ice has been in the Lucan Arena for two weeks now and the Lucan-Ilderton Combines have held a couple of workouts while Exeter hockey of- ficials are scheduling practices for the various teams for this weekend or early next week. Once again this year the local rink will be one of the busiest buildings in town with something going on every night of the week. Manager Alvin Willert already has a tentative schedule set up for the coming season. The popular Exeter Figure Skat- ing Club will take over the rink on Mondays with one of the minor houseleagues operating on Tuesday nights before the men's Rec Hockey League starts its doubleheader. Last year the Rec loop had four teams and from all indications the four teams will be returning to the ice lanes. Wednesday evenings will be set aside for mi- nor hockey with the three Exeter minor teams, the pee wees, bantams and midgets doing battle against Shamrock League opposition. Another minor house- league will play on Thursday nights before the Fly- ing Dutchmen while the Exeter Junior Hawks will play all their home games on Friday. Saturday after- noon and night will be used for public skating and practice time with the public school children receiv- ing time after four during the week. Now that the ice is in the arena the Exeter Junior Hawks will be starting practices for the com- ing Shamrock League season. The Hawks, last year's Shamrock League champions, have lost two top players in Mike Cushman and Craig Chapman who are now playing Junior 'B' hockey, but they again expect to be a contender this year. Last year's playing coach, Earl Wagner, is ex- pected back to handle the club from the bench this year while Lloyd Cushman will manage the club and. Lloyd Greenacre will act as trainer. The Hawks, who play their first home game against Delhi on Friday, November 12, will play against teams from Strathroy, Belmont, Mt. Brydges, Port Huron, Point Edward and Delhi. Several of last year's championship squad are returning to action with the Hawks this season and will join a few Exeter Midget graduates to form the nucleus of, the OA?, Expected to return this season are goaltenders Tom Glavin, Rick Stade and defense- men Ron Broderick, Larry Willert and Bob Hoffman along with forwards Dennis Morrissey, Rick Boyle, Bill Chipchase, Fred Wells, Fred Lamb, Allan Thomp- son and Dick Coulter. Bill Bourne, Scott Burton, Mark Hinton, Rick McDonald, Bob Beavers and Paul Mason are a few of last year's midget squad who will be vying for a position. Hawk officials are also inviting a few play- ers from Zurich and Hensall to try out for the club. The Hawks, who play a return game in Delhi on November 14, will play a home-and-home sched- ule with the other six teams in the league. * * RUSTLINGS — Four more Exeter bowlers joined the 300 club last week with Bob Nicol leading the pack with a 320 game. Don Couture, who leads the mens 'A' league with a 247 average, came up with three straight 300 games on Saturday after- noon on his way to posting a five-game total of 1452 in the men's Intertown Bowling League. Couture's fine performance gives him the highest five-game total to date in the eight-team league. Other 300 games last week included Bill Farquhar 317, Frank Brintnell 309 and Simon Brand 300 . . If Bobby Hull of the Black Hawks continues his present scor- ing pace he should eclipse Maurice Richard's scoring mark of 50 goals in 50 games in about three months. The husky winger has already potted eight goals in the first four games and has yet to play a game in the friendly confines of Chicago Stadium where he scored most of his goals last year. Hull, along with former Canadien Bernie Geoffrion, has tied the rec- ord during a 70-game schedule and appeared to be within range last year before a pair of gimpy knees spoiled his chances but this looks like it could be the year for the Blond Bomber to shatter all scoring marks for a single season.

Here's how it works: in every tire there are over 100 tungsten carbide spikes that stick out just far enough to dig and bite into snow and ice. Goodyear's new Safety Spike tires have been tested and proven at the Monte Carlo Rallye in the French Alps. The test results were amazing . . Safety Spike winter tires gave twice the traction on ice compared to con- ventional snow tires.

FOR ALL poop SPORT'S By Jim Russell The arena will be busy By JOHN PRYDE The South Huron P ant hers evened their season's record in the Huron-Perth football confer- ence last Wednesday when they walloped Stratford Northwestern, 18-2 on the latter's home field. Coach Bogart finally has an of- fense with scoring punch, some- thing he lacked in the opening half of the season. This, teamed with a superlative defense, which has allowed only 8 points in its last two games, forms a winning combination. The offensive team, guided by master strategist Paul Mason amassed a total of 31'7 years, including 153 through the air. The stingy defense al- lowed Northwestern only 129 yds. The offensive total would have eclipsed the 400 yard mark if an 85 yard jaunt by Dick Colter had not been called back because of a penalty. After a penalty on the kickoff South Huron started on their own 8. Al Youngash picked up 5 yards and fleet footed John Franklin chalked up a first down with a yard run. The Panthers then were halted and had to punt. Northwestern took over on the Panther 53 and on third down husky Bryan Marks boomed a 46 yard kick for a single point. Neither team could get rolling until the Panthers regained pos- session on their own 46. Colter made 8 yards and Mason rolled up the first down with a 6 yard gain. Halfback Ron Crown grab- bed a Mason bomb for 24 yards leaving the ball at the Stratford 2. Dick Colter then went over for the TD putting the Panthers ahead 6-1. He missed the convert. Northwestern started on their own 22 and had a drive going but this came to an abrupt end when alert Bill Farquhar snared a Northwestern aerial. The Panth- ers took over and Al Youngash and Colter picked a first down be- fore Mason uncorked a 23 yard strike to Crown for another Pan- ther touchdown. Dick Colter's convert attempt was wide. The score at half time had South Huron leading 12-1. The teams gained little until South Huron made some long yardage at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Starting at their own 25 the Panthers gained 8 yd. on a pass to Franklin and Dick Colter picked up 6 yards and a first down. A pro pass to Eric ,Price netted 6 yards. Mason then hurled a beautiful pass to John Franklin. This effort realized 33 yards but unfortunately the drive was stopped on a fumble. Keith Strang intercepted a pass giving South Huron the ball at the Stratford 2'7. Crown then grabbed a 20 yard Mason pass and a pen- alty left the ball at the three and one-half. Mason went over on his second try for the third South Huron TD. South Huron's short onside kickoff, their second of the game, gave them the bail on the North- western 3'7. A yard pass to Al Youngash ended the game. The final. score was 18-2 in favour of ..the.. South Huron crew.
