HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1965-11-18, Page 6The local hockey season opened up here last Friday night with the Junior Hawks starting the season on a successful note. They edged Delhi before a sparse crowd of 249. It takes a bit of snow on the ground before people start thinking about hockey but the National Hockey League has been underway for three weeks already and local hockey fans should realize that the season is in full swing. The Hawks played winning hockey last sea- son but played to small crowds during the regular schedule and the first round of the playoffs against Belmont this year and the locals appear to have an- other strong club, A few years back when Exeter had some im- ports, fans wanted to see more local talent in action. Now we have local talent but on Friday nights one sees the same faces in the rink game after game. This year's club has players from the area including Zurich, Hensall and Exeter and plays an exciting brand of hockey and is worthy of support. SOME GOOD GAMES YET TO COME Judging from the outcome of the two Canad- ian Football League playoff games that were played in Ottawa and Calgary last weekend there will still be a couple of exciting contests left this season. Al- though the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Calgary Stam- peders have won the first round the issue is not set- tled. Calgary took a one-game lead in the best-of- three Western Football Conference final on Saturday when they defeated the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 27-9 behind wily veteran Eagle Day. The Stamps started slowly and led 10-9 at the half but then came on strong in the final 30 minutes to break the game wide open with 17 more points with running backs Lovell Coleman and Ted Woods supplying the im- petus. The two western clubs played their second game on Wednesday night and barring a reversal of form by the Calgary club the third game on Satur- day will not be necessary. The Eastern Football Conference Final is a two-game total points series and the Hamilton Tiger- Cats, like the Stampeders, came back with super- lative second half surge on Sunday afternoon in Ot- tawa to defeat the rugged Roughriders 18-13 and take a five-point margin in the series. Playing before a partisan Roughrider crowd, the Ottawa club rolled up a 13.0 lead as Tiger-Cat quarterback Joe Zuger failed to take advantage of the following 20 mile an hour wind in the first quar- ter by staying on the ground. The Ottawa defensive line held the 'Cats to small yardage in the first 30 minutes while quarterback Russ Jackson and full. back Jim Dillard gave the Riders the lead. The second half was all Hamilton, however, as the Tiger-Cats, with the aid of some odd offici- ating, hit for two converted touchdowns, a field goal and a single point to take a lead in the two-game set. Sunday's games was a bit of a rarity as the Roughriders led in every vital statistic but still came out on the short end of the score. Ottawa had 16 first downs to Hamilton's nine, 135 yards rushing to the 'Cats' 109 and 138 yards passing to 96 by Hamilton but the winners grabbed off two of Jackson's passes in the second half to lead in that very important category. One of the most interesting facts in the Ham- ilton-Ottawa clash was the impressive play of Tiger- Cats' Ted Page. The 23-year-old Page is playing his third year in the CFL and his first with the Tiger- Cats after two years with the Montreal Allouettes and is a member of the Cats' defensive squad which was the best in Canada this season. Page, who plays the defensive halfback position, used to live in Exe- ter before his family moved to Sarnia and then on to California and is the grandson of Mrs. Mary Han- nigan and the nephew of Mrs. Harold Holtzman of town. Page came to the Tiger-Cats in the trade that sent quarterback Bernie Faloney to Montreal and has performed very well for the Eastern Conference champions. In Sunday's victory Page was very im- pressive as he made several good tackles as well as delivering a couple of key blocks on the two Hamil- ton interceptions. It will take an all out effort by Page and his mates to prevail over the strong Ottawa club but the Cats will probably respond to the cheers of the home crowd next Saturday and come up with another vic- tory to gain a berth in the Grey Cup Game Novem- ber 27.

G-B winter sports club Bob Borland and Philip Walker, members of Grand Bend Winter Sports Club told Grand Bend Council at their meeting that another winter parade was in the offing for the resort. ((Ever since last year's par- ade," said Borland, ((people have been asking if we were phi-ming another. I would like to see a real community effort this year." The group, now organized for two full winter seasons, sees Grand Bend as a potential year- round resort town and feels that a winter parade to begin the season publicizes the skiing, to- bogganing and sleighriding which is offered to the south of the village. This year's day-long event, to be held early in December, may feature a Miss Winter Sports beauty contest in addition to the parade and gala dance. Walker observed, ,,This year's parade can be made bigger and better. Both men requested coun- cil's support for the affair. FOR 'ALL GOOD SPORTS By Jim Russell How about some support?

The Exeter Hawks started the 1965-66 campaign off on a win- ning note by picking up a pair of victories at the expense of the Delhi Rockets over the week- end. The locals defeated Delhi 7-5 in their home opener last Friday night and then whipped the Delhi squad 7-3 back in Delhi Sunday afternoon. The Hawks started out strongly in the Sunday encounter by tak- ing a 3-1 first period lead on a pair of goals by Larry Willert and a singleton by Bob Moir. After the first frame the locals never looked back as they scored a pair of goals in each of the last two periods to record their second win of the young season. Scott Burton hit for his first goal of the season at the 6:24 mark of the second period to give the Hawks a 4-1 lead but Delhi came back to score two quick tallies within three min- utes to pull close to the locals. Fred Lamb, however, scored his first of two goals to give the Ex- eter squad a two goal bulge be- fore the end of the middle stanza. Lamb scored his second goal of the game and his third of the season at 3:59 of the last period and Craig Davidson concluded the scoring at 16:05 when he took a pass from Rick Boyle and rifled a shot into the Delhi net from just inside the blueline. A total of 13 penalties were called in the fast moving contest with the home team picking up seven. HAWKS TAKE OPENER The Hawks suffered a let down in the second period of Friday nights game as they blew a 3-0 lead but rallied for three goals in the final 20 minutes to register a 7-5 win before 249 Exeter fans. The homesters started out like they were going to run the Delhi club right out of the rink by scor- ing three quick tallies in the first seven minutes, but the visitors perked up however and with the aid of a couple of Hawk defensive errors they scored two first period goals and then added a couple more in the second frame to tie the score at four all. The locals put on the pressure The federal government's re- venue from taxes will be an es- timated $7.7 billion this year, compared to $4.3 billion ten years ago.
