GOOD SPORTS By Ross Hough An importan t week two quick tallies, John Loader picked up the third Exeter scor- ing marker, this time with. Hoy doing the playmaking early in the third and the teams battled on even terms until the two quick scores by the Waterloo County team. Two of Exeter's four entries in, the various Easter week hockey tourneys are still in the running as of Tuesday night, The Pee Wee aggregation under the guid- ance of Jim Brown and Terry Bourne have moved into the se- cond round of the Young Canada tourney in Goderich Friday after- noon. The twelve and under Youngsters downed Milton 3-1 Tuesday morning and will meet a formidable Oakridge Acres entry in the next round Friday after- noon at 1:30. The London suburb club ad- vanced to this series on the strength of a convincing 9-1 vic- tory over Walkerton on Monday. Another strong "B" contender are the pee wees from Hespeler who recorded a similar 9-1 de- cision over Hanover. The Exeter Legion bantam team reached the second round in the Georgetown tourney the easy way as the team they were to meet in the first round Tues- day from Aylmer were unable to compete due to previous com- mitments in OMHA play-offs. Coached by Lorne Haugh and Lyle Riddell, the Legion spon- sored boys took on a team from Erin in an exhibition contest Tuesday evening and came out on the short end of a 6-4 score. They faced their next opposition from Woodbridge in a two game series yesterday afternoon, Wed- nesday. In the annual Midget compe- tition in Port Huron, the local boys ran into a strong club from New Hamburg and were elim- inated by a 5-3 count in the first round of play. The Exeter Squirts competing in the Novice tournament in Brampton for boys under ten bowed out quickly to a good Delhi club 7-2 and 2-0 in a two game total goals series. PeeWees advance A scoring play while playing shorthanded themselves gave the Exeter Pee Wees the necessary edge in Tuesday's 3-1 victory Bantams work out The Exeter bantams with a bye into the second round of the Georgetown event took on a com- bination of pee wees, bantams and midgets from Erin in Tues- day's exhibition. Chris Riddell, Larry Haugh, Mark Cousins and Ron Lindenfield were the marks- men for Exeter. perry Stover's early counter. The winners from Delhi fired in three quick shots to take the lead for good late in the first frame. Stover banged in his second shot of the morning in the second to end the Exeter scoring for the day. Brian Penhale drew an assist on the first goal and Steve Schroe- der provided the assist on Sto- ver's second scoring try. Squirts bow out The Squirts cOmpeting in Brampton's annual event, were able to score only in the first game as they lost to pont by scores of 7-2 and 2-0 on Satur- day, In the morning game the locals guided by Bev Skinner and Doug Harrison broke into the scoring column first on the strength of over Milton. Tenacious checking by Steven Riddell broke pp a Milton offensive play deep in the Exeter zone and sent the puck loose to Larry Davies who raced down the ice to beat the opposing goalie cleanly at the thirteen minute mark of the second period. Both clubs battled rather cau- tiously through a scoreless first period looking for the breaks. Exeter's solid defenceman Rick Perry opened the scoring early In the second session on an unassisted effort. A few seconds past the ten minute mark the Milton boys tied the score on a good passing effort, The score remained in a dead- lock until Davies' game winning try. The local victory was salted away near the four minute mark on another outstanding play. Russ Harrington moved out into the centre ice area and flipped a long left wing pass to Brad Klumpp who was in full flight and the Dashwood youngster made no mistake as he whistled a hard shot into the Milton cage to ensure the victory, In the final ten minutes of play the Exeter youngsters played good defensive pattern in front of goalie Jim Brown. Brown turned in a good solid performance in turning aside 1'7 Milton shots. At the other end of the rink the local boys fired 26 drives at the opposition cage. Midgets succumb In Saturday's midget game in Port Huron, the Exeter crew put up a good show for most of the game, losing out on two quick New Hamburg goals in the last six minutes of action. The Loader-Baynham coached aggregation took a one goal lead into the first rest period on a goal by Jim Hayter on a passing play with team-mates Bill Fair- bairn and John Loader. In the middle frame Mike Hoy notched Exeter's second goal on a com- bination play with Ron Durand after New Hamburg had notched Lucan PeeWees play Friday One of three area peewee clubs, still remain in contention for the "D" crown at the Young Canada Tourney in Goderich, Lucanlrish edged Paisley 3-2 in their first game and will meet a strong Sarnia Indian club at 8:30 Friday morning in round number two. Hensall PeeWees fell by the wayside losing to Belmont by a close 3-2 count after dumping Ripley 6-2 in the morning in the first game the Hensall youngsters spotted Ripley an early two goals and then came on strongly to win easily. Campbell with 2, Work- man, Corbett, Sararas and Glan- ville were the marksmen for the bean town boys. Glanville counted both Hensall goals in the loss to Belmont. The other area entry, Grand Bend, was eliminated by Platts- ville on the basis of shots on goal after the two clubs battled on even terms for three periods. Most bowling leagues declare season champs section and the Ramblers and Headpins are out in front in the "B" category. Also in play-off competition are the Friday Nighters and the Cheerleaders and Rheumatics are leading at the moment. The Exeter Itchy Six and God- erich will clash this weekend in the first five games of a ten game roll-off to decide the Men's Inter- town champions, No change in dart standings Positions remained unchanged as the Centralia Inter-Mess Dart regular schedule came to a close last Wednesday. The Corporals A continued atop the standings with an 8-2 triumph over the runner-up Exeter Legion squad. The Corporal B, third place fin- ishers downed the Airmen B club who finished in fifth spot by a 6-4 count. In the remaining contest, the Sergeants, fourth spot holders edged the cellar dwelling Airmen A's 6-4. The play-offs with all teams participating opened up last night, Wednesday with 15 games each and will conclude the following week with a ten game set. By MRS. J. H. PATON Due to illness the Clandeboye WI meeting, which was to have been held at the home of Mrs. Maurice Simpson, has been post- poned. Mr. & Mrs. Harry Murless has as guests S/L Al and Mrs. Boggs, Vicki and Tracy from Trenton for part of the week and Mr. & Mrs. Max Bloye, Cheryl and Susan, Jerry Edgington, Mrs. Susie Simpson and Mark, all of London, on Sunday. Mr. & Mrs. Rea Neil attended a family dinner at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Ainsley Neil at Ex- eter Saturday. Mrs. W. D. Worthington and Kathryn, Misses Helen and Joan Lewis went to Toronto by bus with the CGIT and visited the United Church House, United Wo- men's College, Anglican Wo- men's College and new City Hall. Mr. & Mrs. David Kestle had as guests Mrs. Emily Kestle, Exeter, Mr. & Mrs. David New- man and Kim, Lucan, Mr. & Mrs. ROn Kestle and Steven, London, Jack Legg, Birr, and George Cunningham, Clandeboye. Regular league champions have been declared in most of the bowl- ing leagues operating out of the Exeter Lanes. A close finish featured the Men's A division with Russ' Billiards edging the Rockets 81-79, The closeness of the race is shown by the final pinfall totals as the Rockets led the Billiards 98,170 to 98,126. But neither of the two top clubs amassed the top pinproduction of the year. This distinction went to the third place Canners with a 98,275 total. The Seaforth Tigers finished in fourth spot and are now competing with the other three teams in a three week play- off. The Larks not only won the "B" title with 81 points, a four point spread over the runner-up Crystal Loggers but also ac- cumulated top pinfall of 95,820. Pepsis and Oddfellows are the other competitors in the top bracket play-offs. In ladies' action the Pin Pop- pettes were easy winners of tlie A series, finishing with a total. of 14'7 points, 26 more than their nearest opposition. The Happy Gals, Trailers and Hot Dogs fol- lowed in that order. The B section of the ladies'loop went right down to the final night before a winner could be found and then only after total pins for the whole season were checked. The Mighty Mice and Blowettes ended up with identical point totals of 150 and the "Mice" were declared champs on a mar- gin of some 700 pins. The Handi- cappers and Jolly Jills rounded out the top four teams. In mixed league competition the Cool Cats and Guttersnipes were winners of their respective divisions. After two weeks of play-off action, the Rioters and Cool Cats are leading the "A" This week is one of the most important of the year as far as most of our young Ontario minor hockey players are concerned. Tournaments are on deck this Easter week at Goderich, Brampton, George town, Port Huron, Trenton and Quebec City. The best known one in these parts and one of the first in Ontario is the annual Young Canada Hockey Week in nearby Goderich. This tourney, now in its 17th year, started out as a one-day affair in 1950 with twelve Western Ontario teams competing. In 1945 Nip Whetstone, then a WOAA execu- tive member, suggested that a Pee Wee division be added to that association but could not get any en- thusiasm from the rest of the executive. The follow- ing year a pee wee grouping was added to the WOAA but it lasted for only about three years. The big difficulty in those years was the inability to se- cure ice time for the youngsters at suitable hours on the only rinks available, natural ice. With the opening of Goderich's new artificial ice arena in 1950 along came another pee wee sup- porter, new arena manager, Lorne Wakelin, to help Whetstone and Guy Emmerson in their first try at bringing 12-years-and-under youngsters together in actual competition. Twenty-five teams showed up the following year and from then on Young Canada Hockey Week has become famous across the coun- try with 86 or more teams entered every year since 1958. In one of the first years of the tourney, prob- ably 1951 we remember a bunch of boys from Mount Carmel, nine to be exact, were squeezed into Jack Morrissey's car and hauled to Goderich. They ar- rived in the Lakeport town with little more than the best quality in the world, all kinds of enthusiasm. Never having played in a regular rink, using maga- zines for shin protection and very narrow cricket pads for the goalie they won their first game by a large score. With only "back 50 ice pond experience" behind them these youngsters with the desire to play arrived in Goderich without birth certificates but were cleared by several phone calls from Goderich to the parish priest in Mount Cal reel. The present setup with 87 teams competing is a far cry from the original one-day event. Eleven games are played each day for eight days, bringing more than 1500 players and officials to Goderich, not to mention the many parents who accompany the youngsters. The problems that confront tourney officials are varied and many but are handled in short order by a well organized group. With growing boys to contend with, food becomes one of the most impor- tant items. In early years the teams were fed at the arena, but are now whisked away to the Goderich Collegiate for food after each game. The entire town of Goderich is behind the venture, especially in bil- leting, with all of the distant teams staying for as many as three nights. One year a Goderich mother looked after an entire team in her home for most of the week. Getting back to the favorite topic of the boys, it is estimated that more than 4 tons of ice cream have been stowed away by the boys in 17 years. Improvements have been made all along the way in the operation of this tourney with the Gode- rich Lions Club lending their support since 1952. In early years champions were declared in all of the classifications from D to rural communities up to 999 population, through C, B, A and up to AA for cities over 35,000. Until 1961 the division champions played against each other, usually on the concluding Saturday to decide a grand champion. In most cases, the teams from the larger cities were naturally tak- ing the top awards and in 1961 the grand champion- ship series was dropped and the final game Satur- day night featured an East-West exhibition usually between Winnipeg, the most distant entry and the host Goderich club. Through the years area clubs have been quite prominent when the championships were handed out. The "D" title has come to this part of Western On- tario five times over the 17 years of competition. Grand Bend were the first to "bring home the ba- con" turning the trick in consecutive years in 1953 and 54. Hensall moved into contention to take the 1957 awards and the Irish from Lucan were suc- cessful in 1958 and 1960. The Exeter Pee Wees brought home the "C" trophy in 1963 and since then the locals have been competing in the "B" division. Exeter has been represented at Goderich every year since 1951. The first trip up the locals were swamped by the home town competition. Remember that, Derry? LEGION LADIES In last week's final competition Verna Stagg was proclaimed Le- gion Ladies' singles dart cham- pion with consecutive wins over Marg Wragg, runner-up, Marj Edwards and Ann Romaniuk. This was quite an accomplishment for Verna as this was her first year in tossing darts. Sources close to the Legion claim her fine showing was due to continuous coaching from her husband Reg. 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111l11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Walter D.

Under the capable direction of referee-in-chief, Stan Stokes of London, the whistle tooting is handled by a competent crew of volun- tary officials from centres as far away as Sarnia and Guelph. A couple of years ago Stan had his tie torn off by a disgruntled coach from the Toronto area but was back in a well dressed condition a couple of days later when a pair of St. Thomas officials pre- sented him with a brand new item of neckwear. For several years a teenage referee from Winnipeg, Mor- ley Myers, was making the trip at his own expense to participate in the tournament. Morley is now working in the International League making his win- ter headquarters in Detroit. At least four former young Canada pee wee stars have made the grade to the NHL. They are Larry Jeffrey and Gary Doak of Goderich, Paul. Hen- derson of Lucknow and Rod Selling from Elmira, Winnipeg teams have been coming to "Young Canada Week" since 1954 and have yet to win a championship. The closest the westerners came was last year when they played a scoreless tie in the semi-finals, only to lose by shots on goal. The tour- ney is operated on a close time schedule with 11 games played each day, starting at 8:30 and conclud- ing at approximately 10:15 in the evening. In case of a tie score at the end of three periods, shots on goal are calculated to determine a winner. Each game consists of two straight 15 minute periods and the final 15 minute session on stop time. The ice is scraped and flooded after the second period Live Modern With Low-Cost LP Gas!
