The senior Hairpins dart into first spot The congestion at the top of the standings in the Exeter Legion mixed dart league has eased somewhat. The Hairpins have moved into sole possession of first place with a total of 12 points. The Itchy Four and Dart Sharks are deadlocked in the runner-up spot with 11 apiece. In close pursuit are the Featherflights with an accumulation of ten points and the Sharpshooters and Blue- birds with nine each. John Link reached the single score pinnacle this past week, tossing an even 180. Verna Stagg has taken over as the top lady performer, throwing a 124 game. Friday's scores were: Hairpins 4 — Generals 1 Itchy Four 3 — Bluebirds 2 Dart Sharks 4— Canners 1 Shiphunters 3 — Featherflights 2 Sharpshooters 4 — Four B's 1 Cleaners 3 — Legionnaires 2 Panthers, unable to get any semb- lance of an attack going, were clobbered 31-0 by the host Strat- ford Central club. In junior action, the whitewash brush was again applied, this time by the visiting SH juniors by a 20-0 tune. The senior squad have suffer- ed three defeats in as many starts while their younger count- erparts are undefeated and un- scored on in two outings. The next action for the local clubs will take them to St. Marys for a doubleheader Friday after- noon. The seniors will be par- ticipating in a regularly schedul- ed Huron-Perth Conference con- test while the juniors will be taking on the Stone town young- sters in an exhibition game. MEAGRE ATTACK In Wednesday's senior affair in Stratford, the Panthers failed to show any power either on the ground or through the air in ac- cumulating a total yardage gain of only 55 yards in the game. Although being feeble in an offensive way, the Panthers put up a stout defence for the first half and held the Stratford crew to a pair of singles in the first 30 minutes of play. The locals, coached byRon Bo- gart, showed their best offensive =-- JE (A. Bishop 431) 0 2 HH (G. Rader 572) 5 22 BL (K. Penhale 460) 2 13 MIXED LEAGUE SB (D. Dobson 583) 5 17 GY (B.

In the final 45 minutes, they were only able to gain an even dozen yards, all on the ground. The longest Panther gain came early in the first quarter when Bud Desjardine rambled for 12 yards. The Stratford club ran up a total offence of 244 yards and outnumbered the locals in first downs nine to five. SECOND WIN The South Huron juniors under the leadership of coach Glen Mickle confined their scoring to the first three quarters in down- ing the Stratford Central outfit 20-0 in the Classic City, Wed- nesday. Jim Hayter, leading the locals attack in their first game, came right back to score a six pointer in the early minutes of this game and also kicked the convert. Hayter added a single point with a kick to the end zone mid- way through the second period to put his club up 8-0. Nearing half-time, backfielder Len McNeely went to work and romped over for a major score that went unconverted. After the Dashes home to watch dash The sight of an owner watching his harness horse come across the finish line first is becoming quite common for the man y owners in the Exeter-Crediton- Lucan area. But to fly half way around the world to cheer your horse to victory is a different story. Yves Garand, a corporal in the RCAF stationed in Germany, was on hand October 11 at Western Fair Raceway to watch Success Jan win a preferred pace with a purse of $1,100. While stationed at Centralia, Garand was a top performer with the station softball and hockey clubs. Success Jan is owned joint- ly by Garand and Joe Gillis, another corporal stationed at Gimli in Manitoba. This past Tuesday, G i 11 i s wasn't quite as fortunate as Gar- and. Racing against the same class of horses Success Jan fin- ished fourth while Gillis was in the stands and Garand was back in Germany. midway breather, McNeely roll- ed up another touchdown to bring the South Huron point total to 20.

Elsie 461) 26 This is the time of the year when hockey con- tracts are being completed and minor hockey offi- cials at the Exeter arena are no exception. Registra- tion time has rolled around again for all area young- sters who wish to partake of the ice menu and coach- ing offered by the local hockey association. Officials at both the professional and minor levels are having a few problems at this time but they are of a different nature. The pro managers have their troubles coming to financial terms with their chattels. The biggest problem at the minor age level is to get the boys out to registration classes. At Sat- urday morning's first signing in, only about 80 youngsters showed up. Last year somewhere in the neighborhood of 230 participated in the ice program at the arena. An opportunity will be again given this Sat- urday morning to any boys within a 15-mile radius of Exeter to register for the 1966-67 season. Recreation director and arena manager Alvin Willert reports that everything is in readiness for the opening of the various house leagues and all- star teams. Coaches have been secured for all of the all- star teams and for most of the house league age groups. Several coaches could be used for pee wee house league activity Saturday mornings. Although age qualifications for minor hockey for the coming season will remain unchanged from previous years, a change is being made by the OMHA, effective the first of the new year, that will drastically change the eligibility rules for the 1967- 68 hockey season. In future, January 1 will be the date used in determining the category a boy will be able to play in. Also the age for each class will be raised one year bringing it into line with regulations of the Ontario baseball association. Under the present rules, May 31 is the date used to qualify for the various categories. For in- stance, a boy must have been under 12 this past May 31 to be eligible to play pee wee hockey this coming season. Under the new rules, a boy who is under 13 on the last day of 1967 will still be able to compete as a pee wee for the 1967-68 season. With the pres- ent system the age limits of 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 that apply to mites, squirt, pee wee, bantam, midget, juvenile and junior respectively will be ex- tended one year. This will give every young hockey player at least one extra year in minor play and in some cases two. Let's have all the boys out this Saturday morn- ing to complete the registrations and enable the mi- nor hockey program to get going. SKATERS READYING, TOO Officials of the local figure skating club are also making plans for another big year. Last year, 93 boys and girls participated in the most successful program to date. Mrs. Faye McDonald of Brussels is returning as club professional for the fourth time. Registrations will be held at the arena, Mon- day, October 31 from 4 to 5 p.m. Information leaflets are being distributed to the elementary schools in Exeter, Grand Bend, Stephen and Usbarne this week. Registration fees remain the same as last year. The first child in any family will pay $10, the sec- ond $7 and any additional children $5. Classes will be held each Monday afternoon at the arena from 4:30 to 9:30 beginning November 7. Something new will be tried this year — two sets of tests rather than the one in previous years. This time the youngsters will be able to take their first tests before Christmas and if they are unsuc- cessful will have another opportunity sometime in March. Club president Dolores Fuller asks that any new prospective members come to the arena for registra- tion on October 31. Boys trying to make the grade as topnotch hockey players will be more than wel- come at the figure skating sessions. She added, "You know, Red Kelly is a pretty fair hockey player and he takes figure skating lessons." DEATH CLAIMS SPORTSMAN The sporting atmosphere in this area was sad- dened recently with the report of the death of a for- mer local softball star. Leo Romain, formerly sta- tioned at CFB Centralia lost his life in a boating accident in British Columbia in late September. Stationed at Esquimalt, Leo was out on a fish- ing trip with a brother and three friends when their 14-foot fiberglas boat became swamped.. The only survivor of the mishap that occurred in the early hours of September 25 on Lake Nitinat was 27-year- old Donald Romain, who swam a long distance to shore. The boat did not sink completely but was not able to hold the weight of all the men at the same time. They were forced to take turns in swimming around in the icy waters of the lake that is 700 feet deep. The two Romain brothers decided to try to swim to shore but apparently Leo was unable to make it. Remain, 28 years of age was the top hurler of the Centralia club in last year's command play- offs, helping his team to the finals in Greenwood. Of more interest locally, he performed with the Cen- tralia entry in the Exeter rec softball loop in 1965 The Romain family left Centralia less than two months ago and were residing in a motel at Col- wood, B.C., at the time of the accident. We certainly wish to extend our sincerest sympathies to Mrs. Romain and her three small chil- dren. GUESS NEXT WEEK Play in the National hockey league gets under- way this week and the six clubs will be battling for the four play-off spots and a chance at the battered old Stanley Cup. Next week's column will be devoted to the ice sport on the national level and we will try to ascer- tain the order of finish, come next spring. After our successful deliberations in the re- cently concluded World Series, this time we don't need any help from the editor in making our selec- tions,
