The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1965-12-16, Page 10Page 10 Times-Advocate, December 16, 1965 FOR ALL GOOD SPORTS By Jim Russell National hockey team? L. Should Canada have a National Hockey team to compete in Olympic or World Hockey Champion- ships? Judging from the results of the first two games between the Russian National squad and Can- ada this question would seem to have some merit. The Soviet team which is currently playing an 11- game exhibition schedule in North America has looked very impressive in defeating Canada by 4-0 and 8-6 scores. For the past two or three seasons the Rus- sians have made tours to this country and they have yet to take home a losing record in games played against the best amateurs in Canada. It looks like it will be the same story this year as the Russians are using their slick passing and strong skating to subdue the younger and less experienced Canadian squad, In the past the Canadian team was made up of the top Senior 'A' club but two years ago Father David Bauer came up with the present system of choosing the National team. Now most of the Na- tional team is made up of college students who will stay and play together against International compe- tition until they can reach the calibre of the Rus- sian and Czechoslovakian teams but it seems to us that before these students reach their potential they will be graduated and be out trying to make a liv- ing in the business world. Most hockey fans in this country are curious to see how the Soviets would fare against NHL com- petition but it is doubtful that the Russians would consent to play Canadian rules. There is a lot of question as to whether the Soviets could play in the NHL with some agreeing and others disagreeing on the subject but could they be any worse than the Bruins or Rangers. Canada's best hockey players usually turn professional leaving only untried youngsters and over the hill veterans to choose from for the Na- tional team so it seems somewhat like a waste of time to send anything but our best players to com- pete against the cream of the crop in other coun- tries. While still on the subject of hockey we see via The Hockey News that Hensall's Jack Chipchase is rapidly becoming a favourite of Tulsa fans. The burly blueliner, who is in his first year of pro hockey with the Tulsa Oilers of the Central Profes- Isional League, is being well appreciated by the Tulsa faithful because of his robust play and he has also received praise from one of the former Tulsa players who was a member of Tulsa's first hockey club. Chipchase, who played three seasons with the Toronto Marlboros of the OHA Junior 'A' circuit, is a product of the Hensall Minor Hockey setup and played one season with the Exeter Junior Hawks be- fore moving to Toronto. The parent Maple Leafs who are not exactly setting the league on fire have a shaky defense and it could be possible that Chipchase will see some NHL action. With the retirement of Carl Brewer, the injury to Bob Baun and the ages of Kent Doug- las, Tim Horton and Allan Stanley, the Leafs may be in need of a few defensemen and Chipchase, who has played a couple of games with the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League, could figure in their plans. RUSTLINGS — Rick McCann and Paul Con- lin, two members of this year's Canadian National Hockey Club, should be no strangers to area hockey followers. McCann, who is a native of Stratford, was a standout with the St. Marys Lincolns a couple of seasons back while Conlin learned most of his hock- ey in Lucan where he was a star in the minor ranks . . . Jack Fuller had a very big week at the Exeter Lanes last week while four other Keglers came up with over 300 performances. On Monday night Fuller tied the high single of 368 and the high triple of 883 in the Men's 'A' league and then rolled a sparkling 401 game on Saturday afternoon to lead the Itchy Six to a 9-2 win over Clinton in the Men's Intertown Bowling League. Other local bowl- ers to reach the coveted 300 mark last week includ- ed Ted Webb 324, Doug Brintnell 332, Ray Smith 310 and Jim Bell 300 . . . The Old Timers and the Bank Boys are currently tied for the lead in the Exeter Rec Hockey League with two wins and a loss.

After the weeks action the various leagues had given away 24 turkeys, four Capons and about 20 boxes of chocolates. A total of 30 boxes of chocolates were handed out in the Minor Bowling Leagues Chocolate Roll that also took place last week. Results of the men's Turkey R011 will be released next week. Turkey winners in the Tuesday and Thursday night ladles lea- gues included Betty Wilson, Ruth Durand, Elaine Skinner, Ann Prout, Barb Dougherty, Helen Triebner, Audrey Moore, Lola Nixon, Lila Smith, Kay Penhale, Ann Ruggaber, Betty Northcott, Roxie Weber, Kay Gackstetter, Mary Hern and Lori Grasdahl. Gwen Coward, Isa Campbell, Dorrie Finnen, Estelle Chal- mers, Carol McFalls, Kay Hay, DOra Redman and Helen Westcott won chocolates in the ladle s loops. Mixed League turkey winners The Exeter Junior Hawks split two games over the weekend to remain in sole possession of fourth place in the Shamrock Junior D League, The locals defeated Mount Brydges 10-4 in the Exeter Arena last Friday and then dropped a close 3-2 decision to the league leading Belmont Hatters in Belmont on Saturday night. The Hawks who now have a 5-5 record for the season played their best game of the season in Belmont Satur- day night but still were not able to come up with a victory over the powerful Hatters who de- feated the locals 6-5 in overtime the last time they met in Exeter. In addition to their improved play the Exeter club which has had to elevate a midget line in The first place Plumbers were defeated 3-2 by the fourth place Itchy Four last Friday and are now tied for first place in the Exeter Legion Mixed Dart Lea- gue. The Plumbers who now have 32 points are tied for the lead with the Sharpshooters who edged the Blue Birds by a 3-2 score. The Blue Birds are currently in second place only six points behind the co-leaders. In other Friday night action the up and coming Cleaners de- feated the FeatherFlights and the Legionnaires defeated the Champs by identical 4-1 scores. The Feather Flights, Itchy Four and Cleaners are all locked in a tie for third place with 24 points each while the Legion- naires are only one point out of third. The Champs still hold down last place with 15 points. Keith Brintnell is way out in front in games won for the sea- son while four ladies are tied for the lead in that class. Brint- nell has won 18 games so far this season while Anne Romaniuk, Mari Edwards, Marg Wragg and Juveniles win first The Exeter Juveniles won their first game of the season last Wednesday night in the form of an 8-3 win over Stoneybrook. The locals who were strengthened by the addition of three junior play- ers led 3-1 at the end of the first period, 5-1 in the second and then outscored the visitors 3-2 in the final frame to come up with their first Shamrock League victory. Scott Burton and Rick McDon- ald gave the locals a quick 2-0 lead in the cleanly played contest and after Stoneybrook had cut the lead to one goal Glenn Overholt scored his first of three goals to put Exeter into a safe lead. Overholt and Burton each scor- ed their second goal in the sec- ond period and goaltender Bill — Please turn to page 12 TOMORROW NIGHT EXETER HAWKS VS Point Edward 8:30 p.m. Exeter Arena order to ice a full team received more good news concerning play- er help, John Cooper and Ron Livermore, two members of the Clinton Colts who were all On- tario Junior D champions last year are expected to join the club next week while Allan Thompson who performed with the Hawks last year is also expected to join the Hawks. Livermore who has been side- lined with a broken ankle is a high scoring leftwinger while Cooper plays center and Thomp- son should provide more scor- ing punch on the right side. Belmont's Saturday night win over the Hawks was the best game of the season for both clubs and with one or two breaks around the net the locals could Verdun Lindenfield are tied with seven each. LEGION DEFEATED The Corporal A Dart Team clobbered the Exeter Legion '7-3 on Wednesday night to take a commanding five point lead in the RCAF Centralia Dart League. The leaders now have a total of 64 points and the third place Corporal B squad is 16 points back. Corporal B laced the Airmen B squad 8-2 and the Airmen A whipped the Sergeants by the same score in the other game. The Airmen B and Sergeants are now tied for last place with 39 points while the Airmen A team is fourth with a total of 43 points. Joe Berthelet still leads the pack with 18 games won for the season but Lloyd Greenacre won five games last week and moved into second place with 1'7. Bill Smith and Norm Ferguson of the Exeter Legion are next with 16 and 15 games respectively. have come home with a victory. After a scoreless first period in which both clubs missed num- erous scoring opportunities, the Hatters took a 1-0 second period lead on Dave Schyler's marker at 8:40. After Schyler's goal the Belmont club began to press around the Exeter cage but goalie Rick Stade came up with several big saves to keep the deficit to one goal. Both teams began slowly in the final period but it was the Hawks Ron Broderick who scored the tying goal at the 9:20 mark. The winners came roaring back, however, and scored two quick markers to take a 3-1 lead and it looked like they would be easy winners. Belmont's third goal which turned out to be the win- ning marker was a bit on the tainted side as John Willsie had his pass bounce off a skate and into the Exeter net. Broderick's second goal of the night with about five minutes remaining in the contest cut Belmont's lead to one goal and gave the Hawks new life as they swarmed around the Belmont net to get the equali- zer. Dennis Morrissey who had been robbed at least twice before on close in scoring attempts had the best chance to tie the game with less than three minutes remain- ing when he had the goaltender pulled out and down but the net- minder was able to scramble back to deflect Morrissey's shot with his arm as it was headed for the open side of the net. HAWKS WHIP MOUNT BRYDGES The Hawks had little trouble in defeating the Mount Brydges club before the home fans last Friday as they scored five second period goals to win their fifth game of the season by a 10-4 score. The visitors scored the first goal at 3:28 of the opening stanza but goals by Dennis Morrissey and Fred Lamb put the Hawks ahead to stay as they scored five times in the middle period and added three more in the final 20 minutes. Eight different players figured in the scoring in the Hawks con- vincing win with Morrissey and Lamb the only two players to score twice. Other Hawk goals were scored by Larry Wilbert, Otto Smale, Mike Hoy, Scott Bur- ton, Fred Wells and Bill Chip- chase.
