Quarterback Bud Desjardlne Unlimbered his throwing arm to account for the first South Huron touchdown late in the second period. Desjardine completed a 17 yard aerial completion to Bill Malone and then hit Danny Cam- eron on a 30 yard run and pass play good for the six points. Cameron put the convert at- tempt squarely between the posts and the Panthers were ahead 9-0. The Perth County boys got into the scoring column in the dying moments of the first half when Bill Mitchell sent a punt into the South Huron end zone, good for a single point. In the third quarter the Mit- chell club got rolling and had control of the ball for most of the time but were unable to BLOW EARLY LEAD The hitherto unscored onSouth Huron juniors took an early 7-0 over Listowel in the Huron-Perth sudden-death final, Friday, but were unable to hang on as the vis- itors triumphed 20-7. The local youngsters had shut out the same club 21-0 in Listowel a week earlier in regular season action. The South Huron team went into a quick 1-0 lead in the first few minutes of play when Danny Shoe- bottom booted the ball into the Listowel end zone for a single point. Len McNeeley increased the hopes of the SH supporters moments later when he hauled in a forward toss from quarterback Tom Prout to cover 30 yards and a touchdown. The try for the ex- tra point was missed and the score was 7-0. The Listowel machine moved into high gear in t h e second quarter and crossed the South Huron goal line three times to take a comfortable lead at half- time, penetrate the Panther defence with any sustained effort. They rolled up six first downs to two for the locals lathe score- less third session. Bud DesJartline accounted for the remaining South Huron points in the closing period going over on a one-yard plunge for the six pointer and also running over the Mitchell goal line for the convert when the pass from centre for the kick went astray. The visitors closed out their scoring late in the fourth quarter when Bill Mitchell romped over the last panther yard marker for a touchdown that was unron- verted. Statistics prove that the game was even closer than the score would indicate. Each club rolled up 11 first downs on the ground and two through the airways. Total offence records including yards gained by way of penalties gave the edge to the Panthers by 244 yards to 166. Ron Youngash was the top ball carrier for SH, rambling for 85 yards on six carries, the longest being good for 55. Bud Des- Jardine, the busiest Panther backfielder, tried the Mitchell line nine times in racking up a total yardage of 39. Desjardine, Cameron, Malone and Gord Greenwood handled the punt return chores and on five runbacks racked up an average of 11.4 yards per try.

The results of this past week has increased this tempo. Only five points separate the first seven teams in the friendly Friday night loop. The Hairpins, leaders for the past couple of weeks, are now sharing the top spot with the fast moving Dart Sharks. Each of the first place foursome has 22 points to their credit. The Itchy Four are all alone in third place with 19 and the Feath- erflights and Sharpshooters are knotted at 18 points apiece in fourth. Finishing out the first seven are the Bluebirds and Cleaners with identical season records of 17. Jean Gangur has taken over the high score for women with a mark, of 137.

A rink skipped by Ross Hodgert took top honors in the first draw with three straight victories. In the picture above, the winning skip shows championship form while the rest of his rink grouped around are Helen Coates, Paul Coates and Audrey McDonald. --T-A photo This Friday night heralds the official opening of the Shamrock junior hockey league at the local arena. The Hawks will be playing host to the only club from south of the border, the Port Huron Beef- eaters. Supporters of the Hawks have been saying they will have a contender this year. After Friday's exhibition contest one might be prompted to ask a contender in what. Pre-season exhibition games are usually con- sidered to be played under friendly conditions. The lid-lifter at the arena, bringing together the Hanover Hurricanes of the Western junior "C" league and the local Hawks was anything but a friendly match. It is hard to put a finger on the exact cause of the eruptions that marred the opening contest. Right from the drop of the first puck both clubs were a bit chippy and were not going out of their way to avoid trouble. Fights were quite numerous and the final altercations that saw four or five different pairs squaring off caused the officials to call a halt to pro- ceedings with about four minutes to play. There are always some fans at hockey games who like the rough stuff, but we're sure the majority of good puck supporters detest the battling as much as we do. Body contact, when used properly, is a necessary and exciting part of our national winter pastime. Many times in Friday's game when bodily contact was on the mind of the young hockeyists, the puck was completely forgotten. We have heard a few comments that ineffi- cient refereeing caused the troubles. We can't go along with this line of thinking. The referees in ques- tion were an experienced pair from Strathroy and called 22 penalties in the first two periods in an at- tempt to keep the boys in line. They made a wise decision in calling a halt when the players became more intent on boxing and wrestling than putting the puck into the net. While the players did not display their best in way of hospitality, some of the fans also got into the act. A small group of spectators, probably 20 or 30, hopped over the boards to join in on the rhu- barb. Arena manager Alvin Willert acted quite wise- ly and quickly in dimming the lights to help slow down the altercations. Despite this less than auspicious opening of the hockey season, fans should be in for a good sea- son as the Hawks participate in the Shamrock group- ing. According to reports from the Sunday after- noon practice, coach Earl Wagner put his charges through a strenuous workout in an attempt to get a bit of steam out of them. Lack of conditioning, with only a few practices under their belts, may have had a bit of bearing on the unnecessary roughness in the opener. At the moment seven teams are entered in the junior "D" league and another, Alvinston, is try- ing to gain admittance. Manager Lloyd Cushman of the Hawks feels he has the best club in years and that the overall competition could be also better than ever. The new entries from Dresden and Blenheim are expected to come up with strong clubs. The com- plete winter schedule for Shamrock play will be found elsewhere on these pages. If Alvinston are admitted they will be going mainly with the same boys who went to last year's juvenile finals against Coldwater. We know that the Hawks are capable of dish- ing out a good brand of hockey despite Friday's showing and hope that all of the 314 fans who wit- nessed the first exhibition will be back along with many more.

A wide variety of feeders are avail- able from a simple, open tray to a sophisticated de- vice which dispenses a serving of seed when the bird lands on a special perch. A simple suet feeder may be made by boring a number of one-inch holes in a cedar log, filling the holes with suet and then suspending the log from a branch of a tree, Birds will take a variety of food, sunflower seeds being one of the most popular. Most mixtures available include millet, hemp, cracked corn, wheat and the sunflowers. Avoid mixtures which contain weed seeds. Plans for bird feeding stations are available from the Federation of Ontario Naturalists, 1262 Don Mills Road, Don Mills, Ontario. A 5¢ stamp should be enclosed to cover the cost of mailing. According to James Woodford, an executive director of the FON, the common winter birds in On- tario are the cardinal, blue jay, chickadee, downy woodpecker, nuthatch, junco and tree sparrow. Once you begin feeding winter birds you should continue through the winter as the birds may have come to depend on your feeding station for their supply of food. HUNTERS TO REPORT Hunters are being requested this fall to com- plete and submit hunting data reports to the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, This is a part of the data collection program commenced earlier this year to assist the department of lands and forests in fish and wildlife management, This program affords the hunter the oppor- tunity of making a personal contribution towards the establishment of sound management programs for the resources he is utilizing. Information is required on ducks, geese, grouse, pheasants and rabbits. Re- ports are necessary whether or not the hunter is suc- cessful in bagging any waterfowl or game. In addi- tion to the data reports, one wing from ducks and a wing and central tail feathers from grouse are being requested for biological studies. The program is a co-operative effort between the federation and the Carling conservation club, Sportrnen who assist in the program are placed on a mailing list to receive information and publications on fish and wildlife in the province, Data reports are being distributed to hunters thrdughout the province by way of licence issuers, sporting goods dealers and Lands and Forests °M. dais or writing directly to the OY,A.11., 13ox 600, Willowdale, Ontario.
