Woodbridge tallied a single early in the sec- ond and Haugh earns back with his Second of the contest to again even the series, The York county boys scored the eventual winner at the eleven minute mark and set the stage for the Exeter six man attack that backfired. In the morning game Wood- bridge held a 3,0 lead at the end of two periods of play and sand- wiched a single score between two Exeter markers in the final twenty minutes of play. Larry Haugh notched the first with the assist going to Ronnie Linden- field and Don Farrell fired the second, with Haugh giving a help- ing hand. Exeter's two minor hoc k ey clubs to survive first rounds in Easter Week tournament Play fell by the wayside in quarter-final action. The Pee Wee aggregation came up with an exciting Merri- well finish to oust Oakridge Acres 4-3 in sudden death overtime Friday afternoon and later in the evening lost a 5-1 count to Hes- peler, the club that went onto win the 13 title in young Canada hock- ey week at Coderich. The local bantams met their old nemesis from Woodbridge in Georgetown's annual bantam test Wednesday in a two-game total goals series. Woodbridge took the first encounter 4-2 and the two teams battled to a 3-3 tie in the second contest leaving the Ex- eter boys on the short end of a 7,5 total. on the edge of their seats. Pete Glover's goal from Larry Davies and Russ Harrington at the twenty-six second mark of sud- den-death overtime sent the Ex- eter fans home happy. It was a well played see-saw battle from start to finish. Barry Smatters opened the scoring at 9;55 of the second session and this 1-0 Ex- eter lead held to the early sec- onds of the third. Oakridge struck quickly with a pair of goals in the first fifty-seven seconds to move in front 2-1. Russ H arringtou re - plied with the tying marker at 3:32 and then fired his second of the game six minutes later to move his Exeter mates in front 3-2. With time running out, Oak- ridge pulled the goalie in favour of a sixth attacker and were re- warded with the tying goal with seNen seconds left on the clock. As is the custom in Goderich tournament play, in the event Of a tie score, the shots on goal are tallied to decide a winner, In this close checking hard fought fray, each team fired 13 shots on the opposing net and the extra period was needed. First round of dart play-offs The first round of the Inter Mess dart play-offs has put the Airmen B club out in front with 10 points, one more than the Exeter Legion and Corporals B. The Sergeants are next in line with 8 and the Corporals A and Airmen A bring up the rear with 6 and 3 respectively. The play- offs were completed last night, Wednesday. Randy Barlow of the Airmen B aggregation won a Carling award for top scorer of the night with 140. Last minute instructions Coach Terry Bourne is shown above giving last minute instructions to his Exeter pee wees before Friday's game with Hespeler in the young Canada hockey tournament in Goderich, From the left are Brad Klumpp, Larry Fulton, Larry Davies, Dale Parkin, Larry Bourne and Jim Brown. (T-A photo) Lose to Hespler In dropping Friday evening's game to Hespeler, the Exeter pee wees started off in great fashion, scoring the first goal of the game at 6:10 of the first ses- sion. Larry Bourne was the marksman on a smart passing play with team-mates Br ad Klumpp and Russ Harrington. Larry Mallard evened the score for Hespeler four minutes later and the two clubs battled on even terms without a score until early in the third when the eventual champions scored two qu ick markers in a span of one minute to pretty well settle the issue. With a two goal advantage, the Hespeler boys played a very ef- fective defensive style of play through the next ten minutes to keep Exeter well at bay. The Woods brothers, John and Paul wrapped up the game with single markers in the dying minutes of the contest. BRINTNELL BEST Keith Brintnell was the big winner in the Exeter Legion men's dart championship Satur- day night. Brintnell downed Reg Stagg in the final match. The eventual champ eliminated Gar- net Shipman on his way to the title and Stagg edged Bill Smith in semi-final play. As in last week's dart report, part of the credit of the victory goes to the other half of the family. His success is due to his wife's expert coaching. Help the Cancer Society With the conclusion of the Easter Week hockey tournaments in Ontario, the hockey season is pretty well completed on the amateur scene. But in the professional ranks it is a different story, Al- though summer weather will certainly be here be- fore the Stanley Cup winner is declared, that deci- sion will not likely be made until well into the month of May. The first game of the NHL finals will not be played until next Sunday afternoon in Montreal, despite the fact the two semi-final series could be completed as early as Tuesday night. This delay is caused by the agreement between the NHL gover- nors and NBC to carry as many weekend afternoon games as possible for their nation wide television coverage. The situation exists in Montreal, the only Canadian team left in the running for Lord Stanley's mug, that their weekend home games will be played on Sunday afternoon, rather than their usual Satur- day night. This same arrangement would probably have been in effect in Toronto, had the Leafs stayed in contention. This means a Canadian team's honle dates are changed from their traditional Saturday "Hockey Night in Canada" to "Hockey Afternoon in North America", The eventual winners of this setup will naturally be the club owners, who will receive a large slice of this additional TV money. In this in- stance the hand writing seems to be on the wall as far as the officials of the NHL are concerned. With expansion in the next year or two to six more Ameri- can cities, this advanced publicity and showing of topnotch hockey is expected to stimulate hockey in. terest across the United States. We are wondering how the new fans in the U.S. will take to the play-off system employed by the NHL. Granting that minor hockey south of the border is handled in a similar manner where at least four teams are in the play-offs, top level baseball and football rules do not allow one of the lower teams during the season the opportunity to walk off with all the laurels in short play-off series. The two first place finishers in the National and American baseball leagues are the only clubs eligible to com- pete for the World Series. With the present system in the NHL, a team that finishes in fourth place could come on with a good month of hockey and win the Stanley Cup and the glory that goes with it. We would think that it would be natural to assume that the team that fin- ishes on top after a gruelling 70-game schedule, meeting each of the other clubs 14 times should be the best team. But who gets all the praise? Not the team that finishes first in the league standings. No, the team that wins the Stanley Cup gets all the cheers and raves, In the last five years, the team that finished in first place at the end of the season has won the Stanley Cup only once. Before we go any farther on this theme, the situation in the NHL isn't as bad as that in the OHA Junior "A" loop. There, eight of the nine teams get -into the play-offs and this year was a good example ,of what could happen. The Kitchener Rangers, end- ing the regular season in the eighth spot came on in the play-offs and with lots of fight and spirit reached the finals before bowing out to the Oshawa Generals, a feat that the other six clubs that finished higher in the standings could not accomplish. What is the reason for extended play-offs? Probably one of the major reasons for the excess of play-offs is the amount of money they bring in. In a lot of cases and we would suspect the Kitchener situation is the same, getting into the play-offs and especially into the finals, meant the difference be- tween going into the red or making a few dollars on the operation of the team. Play-offs are a bonanza for the promoters and owners of the teams. The money is certainly in the post season activities and the Canadian public really go for play-offs. Whether it's a semi-final or final, they love it. As a result of NHL expansion, the six new teams will probably be divided into Eastern and Western divisions and when they become strong enough, the winner of a play-off, of course, will challenge the best of the present competitors for the Stanley Cup. This will probably extend the hockey season into the month of June. Oh, well, this will give the players a holiday of about three months be- fore they start heading for training camp again. CORN GROWERS for the new fully-proven CORNTROL 862 OIL recommended for 1966 by the Ontario Dept. of Agriculture call Bantams bottle back The Exeter bantams battled back gamely with a good team effort in Wednesday's second game with Woodbridge after los- ing the first by 2 goals. The final contest was even closer than the score would indicate with the Exeter kids actually leading the game 3-2 and trailing on the round by one with but a minute left. Coach Lorne Haugh pulled goalie Mike McLaughlin in the dying moments in an attempt to get even and after two shots bounced off the goal post, a Woodbridge player broke loose and fired the clincher into the empty net. Don Farrell opened the scor- ing for Exeter early in the first on a solo effort and Larry Haugh with help from Randy Parsons Sudden death win The afternoon Oakridge Acres- Exeter tilt contained plenty of thrills and kept the good crowd CLIFF RUSSELL IR, 2 Dashwood, Ont. for: • PRODUCTS • SERVICE • ADVICE When you call your Imperial Esso Agent, you call on the total resources of Imperial Oil Telephone 238-2481 Grand Bend We would ask that the annual selections of the various baseball experts be in The T-A office by Saturday, April 30. This will give everyone a fair chance to survey the early season statistics and put forth their guesses. Most of the old standbys will be contacted, but if anyone else would like to send in their predictions we will be happy to print them. If the Gravett's are listening up Hanover way, send along your Yankee flavoured guesses, Predictions are to include the order of finish of the first five teams in each of the American and National leagues along with the winningest pitcher, the highest bat- ting average and the swatter of most home runs, again in each loop. We have been predicting an. American league championship and a trip to the World Series for our favorites, the Detroit Tigers, for more springs than we care to remember. As this is being written the men of Stengel have started off with five straight victories and shape up as top con- tender in the junior circuit in the eyes of many ob- servers. The acquisition of Bill Monbuquette to the Tiger pitching staff along with the apparent return to form of Al Kaline, Norm Cash and Bill Freehan should bolster the Tiger hopes. A member of the Detroit bull pen staff is one of the few Canadian in the big time, John Hiller, a big southpaw from Scarboro. Hiller, with four years of minor pro sea- soning behind him, showed well in spring training. UPCOMING EVENTS Alvin Willert sends along word that a meeting of supporters of a proposed campaign to install flood- lights at the ball park will be held tonight, Thurs- day, at eight o'clock at the Town Hall, Any persons interested in having the lights become a reality are urged to attend. Friday night, the annual banquet of the Sham a rock Hockey Association will be held in the Exeter Legion Hall, This event will bring to a close the Shamrock loop for another year and all hockey awards will be presented. • .wk i A'
